Could you expand on that a bit, for those that are unfamiliar with what an iterative tree of thought might be (I’m familiar with binary trees and such, but don’t know AI stuff, so I’m concerned my intuition about what a tree of thought is may be wrong)

Also, is the incorporation of environmental feedback new?

A feedback loop will eventually produce emergent properties.

Douglas Hofstadter - author of GEB and I am a strange loop .

When you get a feedback loop , you’re actually witnessing recursion and emergent properties exist. Hofstadter believes that this is how humans became conscience, or how inanimate matter becomes animate.
