Nice essay, makes sense to me! Curious how you see this playing into machine intelligence.
One thought is that “help maintain referential stability”, or something in that ballpark, might be a good normative target for an AI. Such an AI would help humans think, clarify arguments, recover dropped threads of meaning. (Of course, done naively, this could be very socially disruptive, as many social arrangements depend on the absence of clear flows of meaning.)
