In my presentation at AGI-21 last year I argued that semantic primitives could not be found. That in fact "meaning", most evidently by the historical best metrics from linguistics, appears to display a kind of quantum indeterminacy:
Vector Parser - Cognition a compression or expansion of the world? - AGI-21 Contributed Talks https://youtu.be/0FmOblTl26Q I said I was glad that this no appeared to no longer be an entirely cracked suggestion, and that finally others were commenting along similar lines. For example, Bob Coecke: >From quantum foundations via natural language meaning to a theory of everything Bob Coecke https://arxiv.org/abs/1602.07618 I even cited comments by Linas Vepstas within OpenCog as finally recognizing issues along these lines: Vepstas, “Mereology”, 2020: "In the remaining chapters, the sheaf construction will be used as a tool to create A(G)I representations o f reality. Whether the constructed network is an accurate representation of reality is undecidable, and this is true even in a narrow, formal, sense."
