Really enjoyed this post, both aesthetically (I like evolution and palaeontology, and obviously AI things!) and as a motivator for some lines of research and thought.
I also collected some cases of what I think are potentially convergent properties of ‘deliberating systems’, many of them natural, and others artificial. Maybe you’ll find those useful, and I’d love to know to what extent you agree or disagree with the concepts there.

I had a go at one point connecting natural selection with gradient descent which you might find useful depending on your aims.
