P.S. To spell out in a little more detail the main thought -
to engage with the world - to physically move through it, perceive its objects, fit objects together, measure and compare them, and draw connections between interrelating objects - we *have* to think in terms of lines and outlines of movement and thought, lines and outlines of structure and fit
culturally we can no longer survive without mapping - in lines and outlines - our paths through the world, and its objects
our myriad forms of external maps of the world no doubt make life much easier for us humans than for animals - and were fabulous inventions
but presumably, animals - and any AGI robot - must have some internal equivalent, however crude, of our external maps
and so must our brains, and those of the earliest humans
