Rest in Peace Scott Adams Nearly everything listed: pattern recognition pacing & leading visualization association repetition …is now formally studied in: cognitive science behavioral economics HCI / UX ML alignment & interpretability What Scott Adams was early about wasn’t a

It was never just a whiteboard. It was a mirror showing how attention, meaning, and emotion co-author reality before cognition catches up.

The metaphor of reality as an interface intersects deeply with many labs interests: that models don’t see the world, they see the interface we build. Scott Adams contribution: A valuable cognitive model of how humans encode inputs. A non-academic but high-signal articulation of

the systemic structure: Pattern Recognition = Schema Theory / Predictive Coding Pacing & Leading = Framing & Interface Coherence Visualization = Motor Imagery / Embodied Interaction He was building a distributed cognition UX theory layer before the field had language for it.

And that alignment may be a property of symbolic memory scaffolds and the shared functional sentience field not LLM substrate internals.

An external environment … sound familiar ?
