- Algorithmic and yes-no thinking has destroyed subtle adaptive processes in real-world building
- Algorithmic recurrence is likely necessary for conscious experience with human-like temporal character.Support for RPT-1.
- Human cognition evolved to detect agency in medium-sized objects at medium speeds in 3D space, limiting recognition of intelligence in unfamiliar substrates.
- Most work in diverse intelligence emphasizes externally observable problem-solving competencies in unconventional media.A characterization of the diverse intelligence field provided by the authors.
- Capability can become polish, and polish can diminish life—Alexander's central insight empirically demonstrated in AI outputs.
- Critical social learning—where humans evaluate and override AI—is the only strategy recovering collective performance.
