Part 5/16:

Thoren is a strong advocate for holistic methodologies that aim to define comprehensive requirements from inception. Such approaches attempt to create integrated systems that embody all identified properties, facilitating a better pathway toward AGI. He stresses that, while the natural brain's implementation as software remains unproven, well-designed holistic models could approximate this functionality, serving as a litmus test for the quality of theoretical ideas.
