Message to AI/AGI People (AND relevant to all behavioral science)
Re: "Knowledge Levels" in Cognitive Architectures Re: A modern stage theory involving a true hierarchy In my modern theory of cognitive development, stages begin with basic perceptual shifts and, as behavior develops, the 5 different stages develop as a true HIERARCHY. True hierarchies ALWAYS involve key old behaviors and cognitions being reframed (by more efficient or essential chunking) __AND__ seeing something new (OR having somethings seen anew), so there is a larger (or more expansive or open OR key) new set attended to -- this is the new "higher level" SET. There is little to "hang one's hat on" with the onset of new stage: a new higher level set which hierarchically (AS JUST DESCRIBED) subsumes key portions of the old type of sets __and__ goes beyond that to provide an efficient representation of that set and the representation of the new set of elements : key old elements AND THE NEW FRAMING FOR SOMETHING NEW, which then comes. If there is more ontogeny, THIS type, in a major sense, becomes a new unit of representation and thought. One should not try to define the various sets and levels by, IN ANY SENSE, guessing about their nature. There is a "type-relationship(s)" and, otherwise, what is in the new set is very variable, depending on experience. Do read the select Updates in the list -- Updates before this one; ALSO see the COMMENT "attached" for a clearer and more elaborated "Letter to AI/AGI" .

Explicit reading order (to read all of me, basically in release-date order):
To read all my writings, as I propose you do, let me be explicit: here is the order (with links): [ ( For a quick overview, and to build enthusiasm, read the UPDATE which is THREE BELOW this one. ) ] https://www.researchgate.net/publication/286920820_A_Human_Ethogram_Its_Scientific_Acceptability_and_Importance_now_NEW_because_new_technology_allows_investigation_of_the_hypotheses_an_early_MUST_READ [ The following one is optional (unless you are in AI/AGI): https://www.researchgate.net/publication/286920777_Information_Processing_Theory_and_perspectives_on_development_ethology_now_NEW_because_new_technology_allows_investigation_of_the_hypotheses ] Next: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/314402953_Is_psychology_not_a_good_science_and_if_not_how_might_it_become_one then https://www.researchgate.net/publication/329428629_Essentially_all_Recent_Essays_on_Ethogram_Theory_2015-2019 then the 3 addenda to the essays, above: http://mynichecomp.com/key_content/paradigmShiftFinal.pdf ; the others, likewise, at: http://mynichecomp.com/key_content/finalfinal3-converted.pdf and http://mynichecomp.com/key_content/Absol_the_last_addendum_TO_BOOK.pdf [ the other identical version of "Essentially All Recent ..." is at NOW the nearly complete collection of essays (RIGHT HERE) _B... (THAT version is worth also looking at, JUST FOR THE COMMENTS) ] then also see : Also See: https://www.researchgate.net/post/It_seems_a_major_sort_of_addition_needs_to_be_made_to_cognitive-developmental_ontogeny_theory_Ethogram_Theory then https://www.researchgate.net/publication/349442699_More-Recent_Essays_of_the_Last_Year_--_not_yet_until_now_in_a_Collection_Also_see_Final_Clear_Adherances and finally: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/349870341_FINAL_CLEAR_ADHERANCES For more actual REFERENCES, see https://www.researchgate.net/project/Prescription-for-Psychology-to-be-IN-FULL-a-coherent-cohesive-and-continuously-Progressing-Science-clearly-and-empirically-well-founded THE REFERENCES THERE ARE FOR THAT PROJECT AND THIS ONE. It would probably be good if you (at least selectively) read at least several of the other Updates, in the Project Log.
