I am seeking definitions of key foundational concepts in this paper (cognitive pattern, context, influence, selection, motivations) with (a) something as close to formal precision as possible while (b) attempting a minimal word count. This might be asking a lot, but I think it can be done, and I think it is important. I suggest using a very basic foundation: the basic terminology of artificial neural networks (ANNs): neurons, weights, activations, etc. Let the difficulty arise in putting the ideas together, not in confusion about the definitions themselves. If there is ambiguity or variation in how these terms apply, I think it would make sense to lock-in some particulars so the definitions can be tightened up. (Walk before you run.) Even better if these definitions themselves are diagrammed and connected visually (perhaps with something like an ontology diagram).
I’d appreciate any efforts in this direction, thanks! I’ve started a draft myself, but I want to have some properly uninterrupted time to iterate on it before sharing.
Why do I ask this? Personally, I find this article hard to parse due to definitional reasons.
