@jessiehenshaw2 Your comments form nice pictures, ways of thinking. I have a couple of comments:
Some paper titles that appear findable on the web:
THE MEMORY EVOLUTIVE SYSTEMS AS A MODEL OF ROSENâS ORGANISMS
epistemology and rosen's modeling relation
Closure to efficient causation,computability and artificial life
Foliated Semantic Networks: Concepts, Facts, Qualities

And another comment, which is not a criticism, more an observation: these long conversations are quite readable, but they bypass an important feature of DebateGraph, which is the notion of single-topic commentary in a structure which provides for navigation among the many concepts, questions, and arguments.
@helene If I were allowed to make a suggestion, it would be to consider creating a section in this graph which is about conversation, in which these conversations are "curated" as a conversation tree (single-topic nodes), each then capable of being cross-linked within and around the entire graph.
Where there are comments apply to other nodes than posted in, we could either find a place on the nodes more appropriate, or if no specific topical node as a comment under general conversations.
