What “Communication” Actually Looks Like (Reality Check)
This is where credibility lives. If the model requires voices, commands, or infallible predictions, it’s already off-map. Hill’s functional framing implies something quieter: information that arrives through state quality, often symbolically.
What it is not
- Audible voices.
- Commands that override agency.
- Infallible truth or guaranteed prophecy.
- Ethics bypass (“the rules don’t apply to me”).
What it tends to look like
- Sudden clarity without urgency.
- Compressed insight (“of course”).
- Metaphor, symbol, or image that orients action.
- Recognition rather than novelty.
The crucial step is evaluation: capture first, interpret later, and test over time.
