That's exactly right, Gary. As I wrote on Linkedin yesterday, transcription and translation are two essential processes of consciousness (as RNA does it - the base of biological life). Take a look at my unified theory of consciosness:
DNA, Knowledge, NLU - RNA, Consciousness, NLP - Protein, Perception, Multi-modal AI - Signal Transduction to DNA, Memory via Epigenetic Modifications, Human-in-the-Loop (RL)
Knowledge - Consciousness - Perception - Memory via Epigenetic Modifications = Basic psychological functions according to Carl Gustav Jung: Intuition - Thinking - Sensation - Feeling = DNA - RNA - Protein - Signal Transduction to DNA
Epistemological AGI - NLU - NLP - Multi-modal AI - Human-in-the-Loop (RL)
