I mostly like this, but in my version a) The mind is not conjured by the organism (but it is enslaved), and b) the mind does not dissolve in Nirvana, the self does.

Without a very specific way of feeding reward anticipating neurons set up in a suitable starting configuration, no mind emerges. Regulating consciousness may remain in the absence of a self (often, a new self emerges), but the mind can go beyond that, all the way into oblivion.

Shouldn’t a mind be called a “Genuine Intelligence” rather than an “Artificial Intelligence”? There is nothing “artificial” about it.

I agree, but that would not have gotten the idea across in few words, because many people will have esoteric ideas about "genuine intelligence", yet can intuit the concept of "AI" as "universal function approximator".

Why do you subordinate the mind to the organism instead of vice versa or neither? Both are emergent facts about physical systems. Why not say that information systems construct increasingly sophisticated organisms in order to instantiate and perpetuate themselves?
