@yudapearl @Dr_Cuspy @sejnowski @AlisonGopnik disagree. the invariants certainly play a role, but ultimately a world model is a form of internal representation, and the nature of that representation depends on neural wetware.

@kacper_duras lol. self-play works for Go, not the real world, and is not about self-awareness (though the paper looks interesting).
