As a newcomer to actually modifying 'pedia - as opposed to looking things up - I'm not sure how to take this further, and I'd hate to mess anything up. So I thought I'd just write down what I know, and hopefully wiser heads will know what if anything to do with it:
The entry for Mysterons makes no mention of another, recent use of the word: as a description/name of the group who are opposed to the current trend in Artificial or Machine Intelligence. Prof. Roger Penrose, author of 'The Emperor's New Minds' and other books on the subject, is a prominent Mysteron.
The word is slightly scornful, and initially arose as a pejorative, used by others (mostly pro-AI) as a put-down: the core of Penrose and his fellows' objection to AI is that they believe that an as-yet undiscovered 'mystery' exists at the heart of neural operation, and that consequently intelligence cannot be created in a machine simply by copying the more overt neural structure we have so far discovered. Penrose's specific objections are discussed in his page at [1]
