Dear Sam – I love this post! I’m a professor at the Australian National University and visiting professor at Harvard. I’ve written a series of books that use metacognitive approaches to understand complex and contested fields, such as the pushback against economic globalization (eg Six Faces of Globalization). We realised about 9 months ago that these metacognitive approaches work really well with LLMs, so we started developing AI tools to apply these approaches in policy making (https://www.dragonflythinking.net/). Our approaches share a lot in common with what you are describing here and in your Schillace Laws re the role of metacognition and the combination of semantics and syntax. Would be great to discuss.
