Well done Will,

You get it. So few do.

This is a symptom of 'the great map/territory' confusion that has possessed
this area since the beginning of AI. It lies in the difference between
'nature as computation' and 'computation about nature', confused on a
generational basis by entire science disciplines or at least whole cohorts
of key participants in the area of AGI.

Real AGI waits patiently for it to resolve and for the science to become a
proper science again after 60 years.
