"The hierarchy in this case looks like linguistic compression to me, a way of summarizing results, the system is not depending on the levels of organization to work, we find levels convenient for explanations of how the system works."

"I'm loosely analogizing with Koza's automatically defined functions (ADFs) where the operators can work over both the primitives and the "macros".

Considering how we go back-and-forth in long threads here, trying to sort out semantics, I don't see why it is reasonable to expect a generative learning approach to employ internal neurons that have easily interpretable meanings.  Same with ADF:  "Here's a program written in a private language, how does it work?"  Like an Egyptologist trying to figure out hieroglyphics and understand the ancient culture.
