a good sign that they started by trying to solve a narrower range of puzzles then noticed generality--- which is cool! but kinda like predictive processing being inside out

This is again such an intriguing contrast with the language of predictive processing, directly contradicting it. Ofc, they mean a different thing by "prediction", but it seems to me that PP is making an is/ought error that the PCT frame can much much better distinguish.
- and PP got into its confusion via starting by trying to understand simple perception rather than behavior
- although a question that kinda goes unanswered by the PCT model is how we go about perceiving things we aren't trying to control in the first place, or something
- like, arguably there still needs to be some sort of ontum for it, there's just no reference level at a given moment I guess?
  - but that's interesting and points at an important contrast between PCT and PP, where in PP "prediction" is used both for the "is" reference level of pure non-controlling perception and for the "ought" reference level of controlling-perception
