Succeeds in bringing to the forefront the uniqueness on embodiment, which no machine will ever be able to achieve, and how it is highly connected to what we call "consciousness". Animal intelligence, human in particular, is able to navigate - usually well - in the huge complexity of the non-ergodic reality. This is so because the brain is not just a powerful computing box (like a computer with a millions GPU's), it is part of a bio-system which integrate hugely different sensing and acting components, seamlessly. And this system is futher enhanced by societal & cultural interactions, Although it is not stated here explicitly, it turns out that this extraordinary complex assembly of molecules, organized as an effective intertwine of prior (DNA encoded) networks and learned fusions and behaviours IS a simplified model of the world around us, close enough that it is generally able ...
