Dude... working out math-y theory related to AI has nothing to do with earning money that's for sure... it has more to do with clarifying core ideas in my own mind ...
The fact that you skimmed the first 20% of a paper and got nothing out of it ... well... err.... whatever.... This is not a Hollywood movie that needs to grab the bored viewer by the throat and not let them go, it's an attempt to lay out core formal structures underlying cognition... Explaining things very simply for folks without much relevant technical background is certainly of value... but writing things up precisely for those (fewer people) with relevant technical background is also useful IMO ... The role of hierarchy in the mind, for instance, is core to modern deep NNs and also to practical inference control heuristics e.g. in planning or automated theorem-proving .... one of the issues I was trying to resolve in the theory presented in this paper is: In what contexts is a pattern hierarchy a highly relevant and significant meta-pattern? What is the precise sense in which hierarchies and heterarchies can/should be aligned in a mind? These questions IMO are quite relevant to AGI design, and I think I have made some progress on understanding them ... in a way that will help inform some of the design decisions we're now making in designing the OpenCog Hyperon system... The theoretical direction of which this paper is a part is outlined here, https://multiverseaccordingtoben.blogspot.com/2020/05/gtgi-general-theory-of-general.html although I am sure this will interest you very little, it could interest some others on this list, who knows...
