Nicholson Four Features of Machines

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Four features will be fundamental: (1) all processes rethought as morphogenetic; (2) sequences link into a net; (3) continuous evolution becomes widespread; (4) an ethical obligation to heal the land emerges.claim0.717
  Vision of the emerging paradigm shift in society.
• Modern machines are increasingly interdependent, not independent.claim0.714
  Challenges classical assumption that machines are separate from environment and each other.
• Features are the fundamental unit of neural networks; they correspond to directions and can be rigorously studied and understood.claim0.710
  First of three speculative claims forming the foundation of the circuits research agenda
• Rahwan et al. 2019 called for a new field 'machine behavior' in which best explanations of machines combine holistic methods from ethology, social sciences, and cognitive science.finding0.704
  Cited as the key precedent motivating the paper's framework
• Machines can now make machines.claim0.703
  Evolutionary algorithms and self-organizing systems blur distinction between evolved and designed.
• Rahwan et al. 2019 Machine Behaviour (Nature)concept0.700
  The landmark paper calling for the field of machine behavior; the present paper extends its framework
• The full possibilities of my system will not have been realized until almost all of the machines in the shop are run by men who are of smaller caliber and attainment, and who are therefore cheaper than those required under the old system.quote0.696
  Taylor's own words revealing the deliberate deskilling and cost-cutting aim of scientific management.
• Feature Neurons and Memory Neurons Architectureframework0.695
  Biologically plausible two-pool architecture from Krotov & Hopfield (2020) splitting self-attention into feature and memory neuron populations; used to interpret TEM-t place cells.
