Maybe a big part of this goes to the nature of knowledge and intelligence in the first place.

For instance, the relationship of specialized and general knowledge. There are reasons the people leading armies are called Generals, while Specialist is about one rank above private.

Specialized knowledge is inherently centripetal. That focus on some core premise or area, as a locus or center of gravity.

While generalized knowledge might be more of the jack of all trades, master of none context, it is also being able to have multiple conceptual tools in the tool box and knowing which work best at which tasks.

While many might assume some monolithic deity, or theory of everything, all these maps, models, schools, etc. break down over infinities and disappear at zero. Everything in-between is relational.

So these conceptual nodes necessarily exist in larger contextual networks.

Like galaxies have that core focus, but are scattered across that infinity.

Even the effort to explain the entire universe as one entity/Big Bang, starts getting fuzzy over multi-dimensions, multiverses.

Now the Webb is finding "tiny red dots" that can't be shoehorned into the time frame.

So the fact our efforts to duplicate the functioning of the mind trip up over the fact we don't really have a good working concept of the mind will be a problem.
