What you're overlooking is that the hypercathexis of the narcissistic libido is impossible where the object is an entity without a physical instantiation of an organism which resembles the parent imago, especially the undifferentiated other which is eventually differentiated from the self and over time is recognized as the mother.

So Frank has been harassing me with psychobabble >8^D and during the course of it, I finally snapped and thought again about this paper:

  Experience Grounds Language
  https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.10151

The idea is that WS3 and higher *ground* the algorithm such that it's mechanism and output will match, more naturally, the mechanism and output of us humans. Psychodynamics (the process by which some sympathetic nit-picker infiltrates your mind through an interplay between your words and theirs) is simply a Turing test. (Shirley, we've all met Eliza: <http://psych.fullerton.edu/mbirnbaum/psych101/Eliza.htm>) We ought to be able to automate psychodynamics so that a patient can talk to their computer and reap the same (or better) results than going to a meat space Freud. And, sure enough, I found this:
