- Explores geometry of activation/behavior manifolds to enable selective, non-destructive concept interventions.
- Framework treating teleonomic behavior and goal-directedness as geometric alignment problems across anatomical, physiological, and representational spaces; emphasizes intervention via internal geometry rather than external direction.
- Goal-directedness as substrate-independent property enabling continuous, searchable fitness landscapes across diverse agents.
