This seems sufficiently far from the initial usage in the discourse that a typology is in order that clearly distinguishes obviously different things. Alkjash’s initial post seemed like it was talking about pretty much the thing Hanson was talking about, which he was explicitly contrasting with an approach that attempts to learn deep generative structure.
Trying to test deep hypotheses efficiently seems like it’s totally outside the Babble/Prune paradigm, and that seems really important to understand and have an account of. Likewise map-territory distinctions.
I actually didn’t know about Hanson’s usage and my definition of Babble allows for pieces that contain entire cached arguments and that can generate deep content. I wanted it to be sufficiently general to contain most patterns of unfiltered thoughts that appear in my head.
