Did you notice at 5:48 the narrator asks Spot if it "could show us its parents?" whereupon Spot went over to the exhibit of Spot V1. It was not programmed to do that! Did it "know" that it was an earlier version of itself? I don't think so but probably encoded in its training data a connection was established between parent, progenitor, previous version, prototype, and its visual memory.
