The heart is a pump metaphor.
Hofstader establishes some AI ideals as formalizing thought away from its current medium.
Thought as a platonic ideal is out there. It just happens to currently only manifest in the brain. The holy grail of AI, is to reproduce it outside of the grey-gooey.
The heart is a pump. Who needs hearts when you have pumps?
The artificial heart produces no pulse.

Poe, his pit and his pendulum would have no issue with guilty onomatopoeia.
An issue alarms us, a heart that does not pulse? Still a heart?
A machine that does not respond to adrenaline?
That does not increase in tempo in the presence of a loved one?
Does not deliver more oxygen to the escaping prey?
The heart is more than a pump.
We need more than a pump.
Or our robots will turn against us.
