They all have to have a shape.
Some of them will be very, very precise.
You know, I can only be um plus or minus point six degrees centigrade away from uh this preferred temperature.
Some can be very, very uh forgiving.
Um, you know, I can be me in the North Pole, I can be me in New York, I can be me in Cape Town.
Um, so you know, some things have enormous, uh very precise constraints and sometimes and sometimes they have uh less precise, but they still have to be constrained.
They define that they define so you need a calculus and you need an algorithm, you need a a description, a mechanics of self organization that allows for this.
And
I I think that that that's that's a a point which we you know um uh which I've just reiterated.
Um the um in terms of um
Is yeah, Mark did say he was keeping it really simple.
Uh to my mind, I I think he kept it a bit too simple.
I I I think j j just making inferences under constraints.
Um
I think denies him uh the opportunity to wax lyrical about the encoding of uncertainty uh and the very essence of beliefs.
Um, you know, uh we we s we start off by saying that I can only believe you are conscious, I can never know.
Uh so we're talking about a calculus of of belief structures of probability densities, and of course the most important, well
The second most important aspect of a probability distribution or belief structure after its locational content is its shape.
Um and um
For me, that would be most simply it described in terms of its neg entropy or or or its precision.
