How to Think About Kognition and Intelligence

Cognition is a container for information processing systems. Things like intentional intelligence or memory or, uh, perception seem to be added on properties of information loss and systems. I can tell stories about, um, metacognition in bacteria and I can tellstories about sense of free will in extremely, uh, minimal kinds of systems. All of these things sort of are scaled up versions of very simple things that really minimal agents are doing.
