This could be a pretty important conceptual leap to stop thinking of a static blueprint or even a set of letters to a full on generative variational autoencoder. À metaphor with a much more flexible texture - an expansive, emergent system that just encodes endless possibilities

I explored a similar thought space recently through the lens of scientific methodology and appreciated reading your take. In addition to being a detour, I think we are approaching dead ends through this approach. Maybe it was the best we could do with the tools we had. But now we have different tools, and it’s time for new approaches.
