For example, when asked to think about something I would like more deeper, masterful knowledge about, I replied “artificial neural networks”.
The closest thing I could think to potentially experiencing them and interacting is either 1. Through interactive demos or 2. Through a suit like this. I’m unsure if that is what is meant by interaction, though it does seem closer.
This is my first comment on this site, so if I’m missing particular norms, please let me know.
I understand why this was done, but it is amusing to me that in order to describe what “contact with the territory” looks like, you must use map-like terms such as “arm”, “finger”, and “hand”.
I was going to recommend that you could qualify all of these terms, but I realized that this would likely not be needed for most readers; hopefully most people will understand, after having reading the previous essays, that by “hand”, you’re taking advantage of our preconceptions and built-in maps in order to describe your thought.
(I also realize that this has been done elsewhere out of necessity in the essays as well—it just particularly stood out to me in this one section.)
