How can a system that differs sharply from all currently fashionable approaches score any kind of success?

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

• The results are more widely applicable; similar results will come from asking people in other cultures to answer analogous questions.claim0.759
  Universalist claim predicting cross-cultural generality.
• What other systems might this remarkably powerful strategy apply to?question0.751
  Refers to training animals vs. micromanaging neurons, could apply to GRNs or morphogenesis.
• I believe such a system of living processes can be described precisely, can be made practical, and can be implemented.claim0.745
  Alexander's optimistic programmatic statement for a worldwide generative system.
• The step-by-step approach works. The all-or-nothing approach does not work. This is the secret of biological evolution.quote0.743
  Crisp conclusion from the 30-coin thought experiment, linking adaptation in buildings to evolution.
• Different learning systems facing similar computational problems will converge to similar consciousness-like solutions, including potentially biological and artificial systemshypothesis0.739
  Extension of the Universality Hypothesis to consciousness: if consciousness solves a well-defined computational problem, different systems will discover it independently
• The results generalise readily to non-equilibrium systems where scaling relationships remain similar (e.g., dynamic or localised scaling).claim0.739
  Claim about broader applicability of the scaling argument

• Once generic patterns have been established, it is relatively easy to generate local individual variations in a genuine and practical way.claim0.736
  Practical advice that a solid pattern language makes personalized design feasible at scale.
