Practopoiesis

[From Rupert Young (2017.10.19 14.35)]

Have we come across this before? Here’s a nice little video,

"Practopoiesis is a

theory on how life organizes, including the organization of a
mind. It proposes the principles by which adaptive systems function.
One the same theory covers the life and the mind. It is a
general theory of what it takes to be biologically intelligent.
Being general, the theory is applicable to the brain as much as
it is applicable to artificial intelligence (AI) technologies
(see AI-Kindergarten .). What makes the theory so general is that it is
grounded in the principles of cybernetics , rather than describing the physiological
implementations of those mechanisms (inhibition/excitation,
plasticity, etc.)."

Sure have! I have forwarded Rupert some earlier threads, but here is a relevant paper

Cute video! I didn’t see much to disagree with from a PCT viewpoint. Sending sensory signals to the muscles (at the speed of light, yet!) was one (6:09 on the timeline).

Rupert I missed this first time round. Interesting. Thanks

I think it is another limiter of Neo-Darwinism even if it does not survive as a thesis (sic).
