• 03-agents-as-information-processors/

  • 3d-agent-complexity-assessment-protocol.md

    • • How does one measure the dimensions, especially IOL and aspects of SPD, across such a diverse range of entities?
      • Scores on the 0-25 scales are subjective
      • Risk of anthropomorphism/reification
      • More than twice the character count limit. Needs to be broken up

• 04-information-systems/

  • 4b-emergent-stability-longevity/

    • 4b3-stability-patterns-across-types.md

      • • examining monuments through information theory lens, as an exceptionally stable anchor pattern that preserves and reinstantiates an encoded message across time.
        • Flesh out the bullet points

    • 4b4-threats-stability-defensive-responses.md

      • • Flesh out the bullet points

    • 4b5-implications-system-design.md

      • • Flesh out the bullet points

  • 4c-evolutionary-dynamics.md

    • • address the telos/intentionality of some information system design
      • are the biological analogies pushed too far?
      • potential oversimplification over various information system types

  • 4d-host-information-interactions.md

    • • Link templating to self-reinforcing patterns

    • 5d1-ethical-systems-competing.md

      • • Address normative dimension of ethics
        • Think about dimensionality: e.g. interplay between environmental ethics and economic ethics. Does moral pluralism sufficiently address this?
        • Elaborate on the nature of resources

    • 5d2-self-stabilizing-patterns.md

      • • empirical basis for treating ethical frameworks as exceptional
        • revisit sharpness of distinctions
        • unpack moral necessity

    • 5d3-mechanisms-competition.md

      • • might be too much reification leading to a cynical impression
        • potential opportunity to explore interlinking with the neighboring BIC section

    • 5d4-bio-informational-complexes.md

      • • clarify the murky space of BICs that have both ethical and non-ethical dimensions

    • 5d5-meta-ethical-competition.md

      • • How does explanatory power and logical consistency of a given framework impact its "market share"?
        • Clearly articulate agency types and sources
        • Take it easy with the bullet points, refactor as tables

    • 5d8-practical-applications.md

      • • Be deliberate about breadth/depth tradeoff
        • Needs better linking with the neighbors

    • 5d9-managing-competition.md

      • • this is a meta-ethical rabbit hole
        • explore emergence as a mechanism for proactive meta-ethical ecosystem management

  • 5-competitive-dynamics.md

    • • Clarify the mechanics of propagation and competition
      • Clarify resource specificity: what are the differences and roles

  • 5b-arenas-levels-competition.md

      • Overall flesh out the "how" to the "what" and "where"

  • 5c-evolutionary-outcomes-competition.md

    • • What does dominance really mean? What does extinction mean? Global vs local.
