<div style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space">Dear Karl (et al),<div>As one who often receives the fish eyes when trying to communicate such a divergent view of emotion, I can feel your frustration. But rest assured that my claim to want to understand information is legitimate. Indeed, I have spent a good deal of time researching everyone’s backstories to better understand the models on offer. Yours in particular (given the generous depth and quality of your responses), and I conducted the book sorting experiment for the third time yesterday just in case I was missing something.</div><div><br></div><div>You have helped me realize the importance of permutational sorting and sequencing in of process of The Tao, with “sequencing” occurring as the timeless Domain 0 counterpart of the entropic Arrow of Time in Domain 1. You have also emphasized the foundational goal in AI engineering of minimizing the difference between between prediction (expected) and actual (observed) outcomes. I find these insights central to the hows and whys of living systems with emotional sentience - which are far more than prediction machines.
