Perception determines coherence of a model to sensory data, to determine the kind of universe we are currently in. The older we get, the fewer degrees of freedom does our perceptual universe possess.

This might be true if we finally converge to The One True Model (tm). Do you know any mathematical argument that the solution should be unique? I see no reason why we can’t or shouldn’t add dimensions/models ad infinitum.

No, the solution is clearly not unique, but many solutions seem to have similar predictive power for the available sensory data. However, there are limits to model complexity, both due to resource constraints of the human brain and training data, and a priori due to the math

So the additional degrees of freedom a younger agent percieves, are just folly moves from the view of the older. Hm. (TEIRESIAS: Alas, how terrible is wisdom when it brings no profit to the man that’s wise!)

Yes, and they are not explicitly perceived as degrees of freedom, but as the loose structure of the world.
