The fact that you're still ignoring any of the substantive and responsive portions of my comments, bodes ill for this being a useful exchange.
Yeah, I like that strategy. "In this extremely long, involved exchange, any part of my post that you didn't directly respond to, was an ultra-critical omission, and completely demonstrates your failure to act in good faith or adequately respond to my points."
Whatever. I didn't respond to it because I haven't gotten around to responding to your points in the other thread, or because it didn't address my request. In this case, it's the latter.
For example, it shows that the first thing to look for in modeling are continuous analog variables integrated over a time period, with shorter time periods generally being represented lower in the control hierarchy than longer time periods. AFAICT, this is far from an obvious or trivial modeling distinction.
Okay, and what epistemic profit does this approach gain for you, especially given that deliberate actions in pursuit of a goal are highly discontinuous? Oh, right, add another epicycle. Hey, the Hawkins HTM model, that'll work!
ETA: Do not interpret this post to mean I'm in full anti-PCT mode. I am still exploring the software on the site pjeby linked and working through the downloadable pdfs. I'm making every effort to give PCT a fair shake.

I'm not certain I understand your terms. If I interpret your words "classically", then of course I "know what you mean". However, if I'm viewing them through the PCT lens, those words make no sense at all, or are blatantly false.
When you drive a car and step on the brake, is that a "deliberate action" that's "discontinuous"? Classically, it seems obvious. PCT-wise, you're begging the question.
From the PCT perspective, the so...
