Chaos/reservoir computing and sequential cognitive models like HTM

The contrast between my argument and yours might come down to an interpretation of the word “contradiction” as being something you notice or don’t notice. If it’s only a contradiction when you notice it, then

This may a digression too far, but one point I thought György Buzsáki was trying to make was the deflation of an ‘object model’ in human vision and thought processing.
The fact that ML is approached by programmers generally, I think makes this problem worse (maybe due to earlier UML and OOP influences).
His view appeared closer to Batesons “the difference that makes a difference” - which is just splitting the data/world anyway that works.
This chimes with your view of living with the contradictions.
