That is a spectacular diagram. Let me share some that I have prepared since last October, on the basic views since I was tuning them a bit recently and never got to sharing, Actually wanted to pass a few to the attention of Robert and others as the AI topics surfaced - making this public.

Caption: This is the full operational model of coupled human–AI intelligence. An Object in the world is presented through Initial Signs. The LLM performs Neural Sign Mediation. The material is then organized into Diagrammatic and Logical Interpretants, which are tested against the Habit System (including ACT-R-style productions) and Collateral Experience (memory). Critical Semiosis evaluates adequacy. A successful process yields a Final Interpretant expressed as Conduct. Feedback loops enable clarification, habit revision, and memory update. Intelligence is the ongoing, consequence-sensitive process of semiosis itself.

Caption: The fundamental unit is not “human versus AI” but coupled semiosis. Human semiosis supplies embodiment, affect, norms, values, and accountability. Artificial semiosis supplies rapid sign transformation, retrieval, and formal manipulation. Both participate in a shared interpretive circuit that continuously transforms Objects into Signs, Interpretants, Habits, and Conduct. Intelligence emerges from this reciprocal loop rather than from either participant alone.

Caption: This is the most compact statement of the governing process. A Sign represents an Object to an Interpretant. When the Interpretant is stabilized through repetition and consequence, it becomes a Habit. Habits generate further Signs and Conduct, which re-enter the cycle. Intelligence is not a static property of any model; it is the continuous activity of this semiotic loop.
