    This fits perfectly with my philosophy which says cost constraints determine internal structure in a system, structure and cost evolve together. While philosophers like to ignore costs and come up with "ideal conceivers" as if they would inherit our limited concepts but just have unlimited computational budget.

    The "Chinese Room" has the rule book baked in from the start, costs were hidden. When you remove cost from the system of course you can't see the semantics.
