11. Ideal Steps of Communication
1. Identify Information for Communication
2. Encode Information into Communication Form
a) Words
b) Packets
3. Transmit Encoded Signals across Medium (Channel)
a) e.g. Voice, Gesture, Expression (Facial), Force
b) Electrical Signals / Radio Frequencies
4. Receive Encoded Signals from Channel(s)
a) e.g. via Ears, Eyes, Touch
b) Transducer / Receiver Antenna
5. Decode Encoded Information to Extract Information
a) Interpret Words
b) Interpret Packets

12. Limitations of Ideal Communication
1. Identify Information for Communication
“Information: the negative reciprocal value of probability.”
– Claude Shannon (1916-2001)

13. Limitations of Ideal Communication
1. Identify Information for Communication
“Understanding character disturbance requires viewing human
beings, and the reasons they do [say] some of the things they do
[say], in a very different light”
– Dr. George K. Simon (1948- )

16. Limitations of Ideal Communication
1. Identify Information for Communication
2. Encode Information into Communication Form
a) Words
b) Packets
3. Transmit Encoded Signals across Medium (Channel)
a) Medium may be noisy or otherwise crowded (busy)
b) Not all signals may be affected the same
4. Receive Encoded Signals from Channel(s)
a) Some signals may not be received
b) Some signals may have been altered by the channel
5. Decode Encoded Information to Extract Information
a) Properly decoded words may be ascribed different meaning
b) Receiver concepts construct meaning
c) Receiver constructions context dependent

• Perspective Response Process

19. Perspective Response Process
This is the space for deliberation where you identify
options for purposefully and effectively influencing
future occurrences in light of your goals.
Three components to this process:
• Awareness of Self
• Awareness of the Influence of Others
• Evaluation & “Choice”

20. Perspective Response Processes
MEMORIES
Perspective
Response
Process
Awareness of Self
Awareness of the
Influence of Others
Evaluation &
“Choice”
SENSES
OCCURRENCES
EMOTIONS
The Perspective Response Process is about your outlook, mind-set, and
decision making. You have a perspective whenever anything happens.

21. Automated/Conditioned
Responses (ACRs)
• Minsky’s Mini-Modules
• Habitual or Second Nature
• Appears Instinctive
• Susceptible to Unconscious Bias
or Affective Realism
• Can involve “Interfering Mental
Processes” that are not
considerate of goals
Deliberate/Managed
Responses (DMRs)
• Conscious Perspective “Choice”
• Leverages awareness of self and
biases
• Uses time to have and explore
thoughts (Mini-Module options)
• Evaluates differing perspectives
• Considerate of goals
• Approaches Free Will
Evaluation & “Choice”

22. Evaluation & “Choice”
Automated/Conditioned
Responses (ACRs)
• Examples:
• Hitting “Snooze” on
your alarm clock in the
morning
• Eating desert after
every dinner
• Biting nails when
nervous
Deliberate/Managed
Responses (DMRs)
• Examples:
• Trying something new
• Finding the courage to…
• Choose to be happy.

23. Interfering Mental Processes (IMPs)
• Interfering Mental Processes. IMPs exist within each person’s
thoughts and essentially are Mini-Module Ideas that work to
convince oneself to do something (or not do something) that is
counter to their own plans or stated goals.
• IMPs are like a force that resists deliberate/managed responses
(DMRs) from overcoming automated/conditioned responses
(ACRs).
• Particularly influential when brain or body are compromised

24. Evaluation & “Choice”
• Self Evaluation involves thinking about your thoughts
and behaviors together with their origins over time.
• Recall that your mind creates your reality.
• As you explore perspectives over time, you alter your
reality and its course.
• If you’ve chosen your goals, the perspective process
allows you to also choose how and whether to work
towards them.

25. How can we Implement Perspective in AI?
CLASS DISCUSSION
Motivational factors such as reward and punishment can be
improved upon by implementation of conceptual programming,
where an AI builds and uses models of its surrounding world to
predict based on prior experience how the world will evolve through
subsequent occurrences, with a motivation of (1) minimizing
prediction error over time, and (2) developing appropriate social
concepts autonomously.
