might not read this paper in full but it reminded me of something I meant to bring up when we were talking about manageable, temporary levels of disorder being the only reason intelligence is evolutionarily worth it

in particular I wanted to note that @twocubes‘ beautiful “we are made to chase ghosts of order” can be extended to acknowledge that we are the ghosts of order as well; the ever-changing (not following constant rules on evolutionary timescales) almost-predictable parts of our environment that intelligence capitalizes are nearly all, in fact, other intelligences

just thought that was worth pointing out
