He discusses practical mechanisms such as dream journaling and metaphor extraction—for example, relating being "lost on the road" in a dream to experiencing difficulty in life decisions—and how these insights form a recursive learning cycle.
Experiments, Iteration, and Community Involvement
Throughout the presentation, Shapiro emphasizes that this work is highly experimental. He urges viewers not to submit pull requests to his repositories but instead to fork and experiment independently, highlighting the iterative nature of research in cognitive architectures.
He shares ongoing efforts to code the internal processes, such as updating notes with timestamps, refining memory linking, and integrating sensory input into the Nexus.
