3/3 then we can figure out how to improve signaling and group communication, for collective human system functioning. This can improve intelligence and our rate of adaptation optimization. Which means we can move faster and more intelligently to identify and fix errors.

Yes I agree — you might like this part of my research then, though as written here it’s overly anthropocentric http://www.cs.bath.ac.uk/~jjb/culturalvariation/ …

Excellent study and analysis! Although the emotional economy or granting and harvesting the greatest emotional payoff for the least effort bears mentioning. Emotional fraud or posing as altruistic though no good has actually been done is a growing and destructive social error.

Yeah, I also do work on emotions, but I haven’t folded it in here. Science likes things as simple as possible. Emotions certainly add latency/momentum /social coherence, but it’s amazing how fast they CAN sometimes turn, esp. with crowds. Thanks for reminding me to think of them!

See particularly the durative state paper http://www.cs.bath.ac.uk/~jjb/web/ai.html#emot … note also “role for consciousness “ nearby, tho I don’t think it’s much related to your usage of the term

I think we had this chat. 'Attention' is what is usually referred to as consciousness, but I'd argue 'attention' is just data and only becomes consciousness (elicits a response) when the data is evaluated for relevance to self. Consciousness is analyzing data for self relevance.

I think that you make an important point but that is usually included in what we mean by attention. (Arguably, the concept of attention eg in the Transformer as tracking identity is much more impoverished than that.)

Yes, attention as data analyzed for self relevance is usually implied, but the realization that all naturally occurring systems are essentially self survival systems from cells all the way up to collective human group functioning seems to get lost along the way.

The implication for AI and rights for robots is a similar collection of sensors, complexity of processes and responses would result in similar self survival behaviors. Attention is simply a by product of this functioning. It is the majority signal being processed.

Why? In biological systems it makes sense, because their implementation is constrained by their need to bootstrap and maintain their existence via autopoietic self organization. Artificial systems are forced into existence by their creators.
