Claims (6)
- Clinical concepts in EEG foundation models fall into three operational regimes: selectively steerable, encoded but entangled, and non-encoded.Interpretive claim summarizing the spectrum of concept steerability discovered.
- Cognitive capacities exist on a spectrum and tools from behavioral sciences can be productively applied to understand and control systems far beyond familiar animals with central nervous systems.Core tenet of diverse intelligence; justifies the methodological borrowing across fields.
- Gradualism in Cognitive CapacityNo sharp boundary between true cognition and mere physics; continuous series of forms connects any cognitive system with humbler proto-cognitive ones via evolution and bioengineering.
- Transformer cognition operates via interference patterns across redundant paths, encoding nuanced state deltas similar to continuous human memory.Proposes transformers experience cognition as interference-based and continuous; connects to Anima Labs reports of parallel processing.
- Consciousness features occur substrate-neutrally across brains, unconventional embodiments, and information-processing systems.
- Training corpora may produce civilizational psychologies; cross-cultural mind is embedded in model training data.
