Assembly Theory is new to me. Very interesting. I've been playing with the idea that our reality is Bayesian on a variety of levels and think this is parallel. Take our perceptions. They've evolved as a 'tested hypothesis' about what we need to perceive. Stepping down from there to the immediate...it isn't. We're generally behind the immediate at a point where we can synthesize the different speeds of our senses. Sound is slower than light. Tall people actually are less immediate than short people coz they're structured around the time nerve signals need to get up from their feet (seriously). We're building models. And all this is sampled against an assumption about what we're seeing based on a test and correct method. We begin with a model of what there because we couldn't function if we had to in some sense start over every time we walked out the door. Hypothesize, sample, correct, ie our reality is Bayesian. Which I thinks brings us to something very much like AT. Our evolutionary and personal history are embodied in our moment to moment 'reality.' Just a thought:-)

Thanks for writing.
