The speaker suggests that self-organizing software may require experience, including multidimensional self-monitoring and observing its own monitoring, to self-organize.

“Because the difference with these biological systems is that they're possessed by software, and the software is self-organizing. And in order to be self-organizing, it's possible that it needs to be capable of experience, that it needs to monitor itself across multiple dimensions and observe itself in the act of monitoring to make that self-organization happen.”
