The newish SBCL parallel gc is fantastic and uses no additional memory during gc

Its interesting that they don't even mention the key to human intelligence, concepts, in this list.

Would it work with the parallel GC feature?

Incredible! Is this ready for at scale production use?

A key error is there literally are no where close to billions of concepts. Its a misunderstanding of what a concept is as used by us humans. There are an unlimited number of instances and entities, but the concepts we use to think about them is very limited by comparison.

Our[1] solution to that is to use a hierarchical semantic systems approach such that you can give access to a subsystem or entire biological systems.

Thats a terrible ontology (the relations) - needs to be much lower level to understand anything important.

Seems a bit scary that the "source" text from the pdfs could actually be hallucinated.

Does it hallucinate with the LLM being used?

Probably without too much difficulty. If you have a sample to confirm, that would be great. frederick @ graphmetrix . com

We[1] Create "Units of Thought" from PDF's and then work with those for further discovery where a "Unit of Thought" is any paragraph, title, note heading - something that stands on its own semantically. We then create a hierarchy of objects from that pdf in the database for search and conceptual search - all at scale.

Yep, they completely missed the boat. They tried to use concepts without actually modeling concepts, making a huge mess of contradicting statements which actually didn't model the world. Using a word in a statement does not a concept make!

There is no type of math that can model conceptual reasoning. You can use conceptual reasoning, however, to do math.

Exactly, we disagree and you are not alone in thinking this. You can use reason to do math, but your can't model reason with math.

gibsonf1 — Sat, 05 Apr 2025 18:06:29 +0000

My point is no type of math will work to model reason. Math is one of the many tools of reason, it is not the basis for reason. This is a very common error.

The error with that is that human reasoning is not mathematical. Math is just one of the many tools of reason.
