Deep learning is mostly irrelevant for AGI but the best part of the article is bringing up the "recursive process called Merge”. This Merge [0] is called "chunking" in cognitive psychology [1, 2], first mentioned in classic paper "The Magical Number Seven" by George A. Miller [3].

It's the JOIN in Leslie Valiant LINK/JOIN model [4, 5]: "The first basic function, JOIN, implements memory formation of a…
