world and embodied models

# world and embodied models **Entity class:** Technology, method, or technical system **Collections:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] · [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] ## Definition **world and embodied models** is a technology, method, or technical system. The source corpus interprets the relationship this way: [[wiki/reusable human prior|reusable human prior]] is implemented as a federation of **world and embodied models**. The entry centers on the technology's mechanism, implementation, applications, and technical lineage, keeping demonstrated capability separate from projected deployment. ## Relationships  This entry is routed through [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] and [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]]. Its source context is developed in [[articles/Mind Uploading and AI — The Host is Reusable and the Person is the Delta|Mind Uploading and AI — The Host is Reusable and the Person is the Delta]], [[articles/Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer|Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer]], and [[articles/The Magic Kingdom and the Managed State|The Magic Kingdom and the Managed State]]. Status-qualified source edges are preserved in the terminal Research Edges section. ### Key Relationships - The source corpus interprets the relationship this way: [[wiki/reusable human prior|reusable human prior]] is implemented as a federation of **world and embodied models**.  ## Research Edges  #### Consciousness mapping and transfer graph patch — 2026-09-10 **Collections:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] · [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] **Relationship source:** [[research/Consciousness Mapping and Transfer Ecosystem Relationship Graph - 2026-09-10|Consciousness Mapping and Transfer Ecosystem Relationship Graph — 2026-09-10]] **Related source articles:** [[articles/Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer|Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer]] · [[articles/The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards|The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards]] · [[articles/2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces|2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces]] · [[articles/The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas|The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas]] #### Incoming typed edges - **Edge 627 — [[wiki/reusable human prior|reusable human prior]] `implemented_as_federation_of` → this entry** — **ARTICLE_ANALYTIC**; evidence `ARTICLE_NEW`.

Pattee has given us a schema and a way to think about how, using nothing but physics (including the principle of complementarity), life comes out of non-living stuff. The schema, way up the evolutionary scale, also accounts for how the subjective mind can emerge from objective neurons. Pattee suggests that instead of approaching conscious cognition as either information processing or neural dynamics, there is a third approach available. Consciousness is not reducible to one or the other. Both should be kept on the table. They are complementary properties of the same system. I say hats off to Pattee. We brain scientists have our work cut out for us." > **— Michael Gazzaniga**, *2017, Edge Annual Question, “What Scientific Term or Concept Ought to Be More Widely Known?”* [[reminders/Consciousness/Mind and Neurons May Be Complementary Properties of One System by Michael Gazzaniga|Mind and Neurons May Be Complementary Properties of One System by Michael Gazzaniga]] > "Homuncular flexibility isn't the only source of hints about how weird human experience might get in the future. There also questions related to language, memory, and other aspects of cognition, as well as hypothetical prospects for engineering changes in the brain. But in this one area, there's an indication of high weirdness to come, and I find that prospect dangerous, but in a beautiful and seductive way. "Thrilling" might be a better word." > **— Jaron Lanier**, *2006, Edge Annual Question, “What Is Your Dangerous Idea?”* [[reminders/Identity/Human Experience May Become Beautifully Strange by Jaron Lanier|Human Experience May Become Beautifully Strange by Jaron Lanier]] > "The most beautiful and elegant explanation should be as strong and overwhelming as a brick smashing your head; it should break your life in two. For instance, as a result of that explanation, you should realize that even if you are dreaming your brain is active doing what he does best: creating models of reality or, in fact, creating the reality where you live in." > **— Eduardo Salcedo-Albaran**, *2012, Edge Annual Question, “What Is Your Favorite Deep, Elegant, or Beautiful Explanation?”* [[reminders/Simulation/Dreams Reveal the Brain as a Reality-Making Machine by Eduardo Salcedo-Albaran|Dreams Reveal the Brain as a Reality-Making Machine by Eduardo Salcedo-Albaran]] > "Some topics in psychology have advanced beyond essentialist views. Memory, for example, was once thought to be a single process, and later was split into distinct subtypes like semantic memory and episodic memory. Memories are now considered to be constructed within the brain's functional architecture and not to reside in specific brain tissue. One hopes that other areas of psychology and neuroscience will soon follow suit. For example, cognition and emotion are still considered separate processes in the mind and brain, but there is growing evidence that the brain does not respect this division. This means every psychological theory in which emotions and cognitions battle each other, or in which cognitions regulate emotions, is wrong." > **— Lisa Feldman Barrett**, *2014, Edge Annual Question, “What Scientific Idea Is Ready for Retirement?”* [[reminders/Consciousness/The Brain Does Not Separate Cognition From Emotion by Lisa Feldman Barrett|The Brain Does Not Separate Cognition From Emotion by Lisa Feldman Barrett]]
