Relevance Realization's Importance
- Relevance realization (RR) is central to intelligence and consciousness.
- It involves processes like generalization, specialization, and self-transcendence.
Neural Firing and Relevance
- Neurons firing in synchrony suggests compression, like a line of best fit.
- Asynchronous firing introduces variation, enabling specific data fitting.
Self-Organizing Criticality
- The brain oscillates between synchronous and asynchronous firing, a process called self-organizing criticality.
- This allows the brain to constantly evolve its fitness to the environment.
