Is deep learning at a similar, albeit more modest, transition point as the invention of the microscope?

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

• Conceptual advances in the links between machine learning and evolution now provide quantitative formalisms with which to begin to develop testable models of collective intelligence across scales.claim0.769
  Asserts that the time is ripe for formal models.
• Progress in theory and practice requires a novel conception of 'machines as they could be,' based on the profound lessons of biology at all scales.claim0.767
  The paper's overarching constructive goal, paralleling Langton's 'life as it could be'
• "This will simply be another 'finger pointing at the moon,' in a language that might provide a generative bridge between the contemplative and scientific domains of inquiry."quote0.764
  Frames the paper's epistemic status and intent; invokes the traditional Buddhist metaphor to situate the formal model
• The deep nature of space appears to be so profound that just the geometric unfolding, when done properly, leads to results which make sense from an engineering point of view.claim0.754
  The mystery that beautiful geometry often yields good structural behavior is acknowledged but not yet fully explained mathematically.
• Late-20th-century holistic science still describes mechanisms; it has not overcome the mechanistic character of its models.claim0.749
  Even the beautiful descriptions of wholeness by scientists like Mae-Wan Ho remain mechanistic in detail and have not solved the bifurcation.
• Deep Learningconcept0.748
  Learning hierarchical representations of non-decomposable functions; proposed as formal equivalent to ETI process.
• The deep insights of neurobiology have relevance far beyond neurons.claim0.744
  Claim that principles of neurobiology apply to other tissues and systems.
• The larger task of making these processes genuinely morphogenetic so that they generate deeper and more coherent living structure—still lies on the horizon.claim0.742
