TAPs is actually one of the CFAR concepts I’m most unsatisfied by. It doesn’t integrate very well with my broader understanding of how reinforcement learning works in humans. Briefly: most of the TAPs you already have were produced naturally by some mechanism as opposed to installed one-by-one. This mechanism produces a lot of TAPs which are hopefully reasonably well-suited to your actual needs, and it feels inelegant and hacky to me to install individual TAPs on top of this as opposed to working more directly with this mechanism (which I think other CFAR classes do).
Summon sapience is an interesting enough special case that I have separate thoughts about it; I’ll register that like Raemon I’m wary of setting a TAP for summoning it when you don’t actually need it. On the other hand, one CFAR alum claims to have no TAPs and to be sapient basically all the time, so this is apparently a way a mind can work. Mind-space, huh? It sure is a thing.
