cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edgeEntities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
- Central speculative claim blurring the line between data and algorithms.
- Emphasis on creativity in reconstruction of memory.
- Levin proposes viewing memories as stigmergic notes left by past Selflets; parallelizes vertical (temporal) communication with horizontal (social) communication.
- Prior empirical observation from biological systems; motivates investigation in artificial agents.
- The double standard pointed out by S&C and endorsed by the authors.
