I browsed both of your pages. Thank you for providing them to this
list. Communication on how the brain works is hard. <br>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
I quote your traverse below on which you claimed that AI system has
two traverses and the brain has three:<br>
<br>
Adaptive traverse: When a system undergoes operations and
monitor-and-act units execute their functions, general cybernetic
knowledge at one level of organization is being applied in order to
extract cybernetic knowledge at another, higher level of
organization. We refer to this process as adaptive traverse, or for
short just a traverse.<br>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<p><strong>A book</strong>: dumbest; zero traverses<strong><br>
A computer</strong>: somewhat smarter; one traverse<strong><br>
An AI system</strong>: much smarter; two traverses<strong><br>
A human</strong>: rules them all; three traverses<br>
</p>
<p>What about a primate, an animal, and an inset. How many traverses
does each have?</p>
I have proposed Self-Aware Self-Effecting mental architecture. You
might want to take a look to compare the difference with yours. <br>

I made an effort to make practopoiesis more approachable to a
wider audience:
<br>
<br>
<br>
One: I wrote a short popular article on the implications of
practopoiesis for artificial intelligence:

<br>
Two: I made a list of the key concepts with a brief explanation of
each:

I hope that this will be helpful.
