The MIT one is interesting. It is mapping a visual scene to some kind of
world model, with laws of physics governing how objects interact.

Still a mapping. But a mapping to rules/laws.

As I recall Dileep George's company, Vicarious, also had a world model... I
think it came down to a model for the way the world can distort. Also a
mapping to rules/laws. I think it helped their object recognition by
generalizing. Two images could be distortions of the same thing.

I believe they labeled that "imagination"!

Both of those are also mappings to categories or simple operations as a
sense of "understanding". But they are slightly more general in the sense
they map to rules/laws instead of fixed patterns.

The closest thing I've found to "understanding" in the sense I use, is not
in AI, but in the reverse engineering field. Finding malicious stuff in
code for the govt:

Christopher Domas The future of RE Dynamic Binary Visualization

I don't think he talks about "understanding". But he is talking about the
need to move from a fixed set of interpretations, even a fixed set of
rules, to something which generates new patterns. What he calls "Dynamic
... Visualization".

That's the tweak on "understanding" I am pushing, too. (Hidden in my
definition by a dynamic interpretation of the word "organization".)

Maybe I should specify the novelty in mine as "A re-organization of
information."
