Yes! What fun to read and I think you are pointing in a smarter direction.
Memory as recursion and the key to step toward AGI.
The trick is recursive self-control of attention while being battered by 1001 input streams. Perhaps better to think about “input” as interrupt requests that a “self” must evaluate and usually ignore to stay on tasks: Making all of those sandwiches!
Bodies may be essential soon along with all of the hard knocks of selection as motivation to memorize, learn, adapt.
Here is a great book that Terry Winograd and Fernando Flores read very carefully:
“Autopoiesis and Cognition: The Realization of the Living” by Maturana and Valera (1980).
This intense book is an axiomatic approach to life and cognition. Enactivist philosophers are now extending their original insights:
1: Terrence W. Deacon: Incomplete Nature
2. Evan Thompson: Mind in Life
3. Luis Favela: The Ecological Brain: Unifying the Sciences of Brain, Body, and Environment
4: Alva Noë: Out of Our Heads
5: Terry Winograd and Fernando Flores: Understanding Computers and Cognition
6: Douglas Hofstadter: I Am a Strange Loop
Pretty sure that Demis Hassabis, Rich Sutton, and Karl J. Friston. Like Maturana and Valera, all three of them have strong backgrounds in neuroscience.

Wonderful! Thanks, I'll definitely read the Maturana and Valera work, would be good to work through this line of thinking.
