@yoginho@spore.social hi, # cache Cache is a common constituent of biological machines, and computation. Whatever is meant by the mind as computation, refers (or depends upon) mechanistic operations which construct and manipulate persisted state – or cache. Cache is a constituent part of the implementation of both – or "cache exists within the space of all implementation, of both" # on (the more poetic) 'space of all implementation' and 'space of all application' Consider Vineet's car diagrams here: https://neuromatch.social/@vineettiruvadi/111035855213632561 The diagrams illuminate a simplified subset of "the space of all implementation of a car" – but not just any subset. The diagrams illustrate a minimal-viable account of the implementation of the behavioural profile of the car: 1. which compresses all structures (and respective behaviours) of all parts of the car (down through individual atoms), to a single simplified architectural, behavioural, account 2. which is far simpler to describe than 'all of the things which are needed to implement a car', yet is sufficient to account for the resultant behaviour of all of those things, and the car itself Further, the diagrams illustrate a minimal-viable account of the application (or usage) of the behavioural profile of the car: 1. which compresses all causal possibilities into a set of constraints, expressed as structure and behaviour 2. which is far simpler to describe than 'all of the things which can be done with the car', yet is sufficient to account for the behaviour of the car in all subsequent (general case) situations The diagram illustrates a (circumstantially constrained) minimal form, which abstractly represents a nexus between the space of all implementation, and the space of all application. Through this simplification, all implementation, behaviour, and subsequent application of that behaviour, align, and intersect Back to the mind. What I'm saying is, it doesn't matter how you describe the illustrated form – whether in mechanical terms, or 'flows of agent intent' – but both have to align with the reality of both sides: implementation and application. That it can be described in one set of terms, does not negate others, in principle. As long as each align with territory, and as consequence, with each other. I will revisit this later to see all the ways I might inevitably improve communication. Thanks for the opportunity.
