Fascinating abstract. I think I may have accidentally downvoted your comment though, when I meant to upvote (on a phone).

I downloaded the PDF; hopefully I can find time to read it eventually. There are some gaps between the layers of abstraction presented in this abstract that I hope would be addressed by the full paper.

Their main point was that pre-computers, cognition was theorized to be tied to physical stimulus. When humans learned how to code computers, "AI" was theorized as existing in "black boxes" of pure abstract symbol manipulation.

The paper discusses how this doesn't make sense, and how cognition must be tied to biological sensing to be "smart".
