I like your point about where most of the computation/lovecraftian monsters are located.
I’ll think about it more, but if I try to paraphrase it in my picture by a metaphor … we can imagine an organization with a workplace safety department. The safety regulations it is implementing are result of some large external computation. Also even the existence of the workplace safety department is in some sense result of the external system. But drawing boundaries is tricky.
I’m curious about how the communication channel between evolution and the brain looks like “on the link level”. It seems it is reasonably easy to select e.g. personality traits, some “hyperparameters” of the cognitive architecture, and similar. It is unclear to me if this can be enough to “select from complex strategies” or if it is necessary to transmit strategies in some more explicit form.
