computational boundary of the self notion is simply a way to try to be able to think about very diverse kinds of uh beings diverse kinds 00:08:12 of intelligences all all on one scale
for: purpose - computational boundary of self - it's utility is to have one idea that can help define intelligence non-anthropomorphically, not just of humans
-
it's easy for us to look at us and think okay we're 30 trillion human cells give or take we're about 39 trillion bacterial cells at what point do we consider ourselves bacteria or at what point do we consider ourselves 00:07:46 human
for - question - identity - individual cell vs multicellular organism
question - identity - individual cell vs multicellular organism - This is a fascinating question as it looks at our evolutionarily composite nature - as a multi-scale competency architecture - Certainly our ordinary consciousness operates as the governance system for the entire population of collaborating cells and microbes - but can we actually directly identify with each individual cell or microbe in this vast integrated collection? - how does Levin's computational boundary of self help to shed light on this question?

an overview of the paper
- for: paper overview, paper overview - the computational boundary of a self
-
paper overview
- motivated by 2018 Templeton Foundation conference to present idea on unconventional and diverse intelligence
-
Levin was interested in any conceivable type of cognitive system and was interested in find a way to universally characterize them all
- how are they detected
- how to understand them
- how to relate to them and
- how to create them
-
Levin had been thinking about this for years
- Levin adopts a cybernetic definition of intelligence proposed by William James that focuses on the competency to reach a defined goal by different paths
- Navigation plays a critical role in this defiinition.
