Yeah, that's a nice tie-in. I'm a moody person, not in the "stuck in a mood" sense, but in the traditional schizoidal sense. My parents called me "hyper-sensitive", which predates "snowflake" by some 40 years I guess. But following along with the conversation last Friday, one's algorithmic depth is an "impedance match" coupling to one's environment. The simplistic inference might be to argue that shallow algorithms are a marker for shallow realities (or the idea that circumstances are actually homogenous and universal - or xenophobic people didn't travel enough as kids). But the more interesting inference is that if we limit the dimensionality of the transduction boundary, we'll indirectly limit the hysteresis. We moody people suffer from low dimension sensori-motor interfaces. You stuck-in-a-mood people suffer from a high dimension interface.

Of course that means I'm now Googling LTA Research like a dorky middle schooler.
