My experience is that in a sense, a layer of discussion “above generators” that mixes with “meta” is possible. But is rare.
Practically, I met a person who had a very similar style of thinking, very similar cognitive skills, very similar education and more. But we were born at different places, went through a different life trajectories, and came to somewhat different generators.
In a way, they were quite close to what I would think the bunch of computation that is “me” would think if it started with different initial conditions.
The experience was quite moving—I decided I can kind of “import” their lifetime of experience wholesale, and assigned a lot of uncertainty to generators where we did not agree, in one step.
