Jace’s Question #44: Technical Deep Dive 1/3

From neural predictions to lived experience.

From tokens to representations.

From behavior to inner states.

Same output doesn’t mean the same mechanism.

How would we know if an AI truly understands?

Instead of isolated mechanics, we frame sensory noise vs. prior weighting under unified thermodynamic constraints:

• ASD: Hyper-exact sensory precision
• SZ: Aberrant prior precision
• MDD: Low reward precision
• ADHD: High switching threshold

Depending on the unique makeup of our developmental phase and ongoing demand in daily life, a more or less limiting corridor of perception is formed.

Your brain constantly generates predictions about reality. When your prediction is one of certainty, reality rearranges itself to match.

That is one of the more subtle and ubiquitous situations in which the effects of fear on our thinking can be observed. 🌱

Every worldview eventually mistakes its own success for ultimate truth. Then reality surprises it.

Every god is an overfit model awaiting the next prediction error.

The goal was never certainty. Spinoza knew that.

Consciousness continually revises its models to become more adequate to the world.

Wisdom is simply what that process feels like from the inside.

In Prior Types, I explore three fundamentally different ways experience can be stored. Understanding these distinctions changes how we think about memory, identity, trauma, and personal change.🌱

What do individual human neurons do when a sound violates expectations?
In our new EJN paper, we characterize single- and multi-unit responses to several auditory deviants using microwire recordings from 13 patients.

This is where our identity crystallizes and constrains us more and more the older we get if there is no curiosity and introspection.🌱

The Levels of Abstraction (A0-A5)
Nothing constrains perception or limits development more than what your system has already classified as settled.

Heal your mind.

EMDR is a model for this.
Rhythm and Processing is a model for it.
But all change comes from updating your internal model or taking action.
I teach therapists how to heal.
