  • this can be considered as an efficiency application to Mind
    • to test this compare how network algorithms would apply to such a situation
  • "The present hypothesis bears considerable similarity with a classical Darwinian concept which has been called “tinkering” by François Jacob (1977) or “exaptation” by Gould and Vrba (1982) – the re-utilization, during phylogenesis, of biological mechanisms for a new function different from the one for which they evolved."
    • see also TheTinkerersAccomplice and WithoutMiracles#Chapter5
  • "each cultural acquisition must find its ecological niche in the human brain, a circuit whose initial role is close enough and whose flexibility is sufficient to be reconverted to this new role."
    • it also could explain why there might be no need to precisely encode in DNA the location of neural circuitry but rather let it self-organize later on by usage yet still find similarities between individuals
      • despite the differences of timing and context incremental learning, building open what has previously been learn, would leverage the most efficient network topology thus finding similar "solutions" in different brains
  • Concluding predictions
    1. Our genetic envelope should limit the set of learnable cultural objects
    2. Learning difficulty should depend on the distance between the initial function and the new one.
       • see OwnConcepts#Epistemotaxis and consider a distance metric
