Good piece but one thing I hope the LLM revolution brings is a more uniform understanding of what a mental model is, and ultimately how to make better- still clickbaity, ofc- headlines.
Nature is not missing an evolutionary law. It's like a nonsensical sentence.
Our mental model for evolution is missing something, a generative explanation for the rise of structured complexity.
And is it a law? Something humans make that apply to human endeavors? Or is it a theory? Something generative that humans articulate that explains data and makes testable predictions?
"Science and philsophers identify evolutionary theory enhancement" is still pretty clickbaity, but more accurate.
