- by @alessin AaronAre you saying there are two different types of reorganization – one inherent (belonging to all living things) and another based on consciousness (belonging to human beings)? Where can I find your articles? I’m very interested to read more.
- by @wmansell WarrenHi Aaron, what you at saying is clearly true, but is not a description of the reorganisation process itself. Reorganisation will have wildly different capabilities when implemented in a multi-layered hierarchy that enables imagination, simulation, and order reduction through propositional code. But don’t confuse this with reorganisation itself which is a biological capability within every […]
- by @bnhpct Bruce E. Nevinrsmarken: bnhpct: PCT is the theory of agency. The control systems that PCT describes are agents. The control systems that engineering control theory describes have no agency, the operator of the ‘plant’ is the agent. Apparently, you have not yet taken a ride in a Waymo! I have and I don’t see any difference in […]
- by @alessin AaronEetuP: Do you mean that there is one “dictator” higher level reference signal which could decide what all the lower level control units do? Like Powers, I think there is a hierarchy of controls. I think the second highest level of control, the principles control level, could be also called ego. Ego desires that the […]

It seems to me, especially from my own lived experience, that there is far more to reorganization than simply a random process. In fact, it appears that this is precisely the purpose […]
