Aaron, thank you for this review and analysis of Carl Muckenhoupt’s The Gostak, it was seminal at the time. The gostak gestims the doshes. Why is this IF important? Well, you have told many more new people. I’m glad.
It strikes me that this game could be relevant to contemporary debates over AI and what a system like GPT-4 'understands' by learning through predicting language, and what need there is for additional mechanisms like 'grounding'.
