Of course my use of “understanding” isn’t that common, let alone universal; but I think it’s an important concept to have, even if it’s vague.Easily and clearly explaining to a novice without resorting to others’ explanations or cached thoughts is the best tell-tale sign I know of.I do say a little more about this definition of understanding in my Sapience, understanding, and “AGI” . But not much.
