Explores geometry of activation/behavior manifolds to enable selective, non-destructive concept interventions.
Substrate-agnostic behavioral inference of cognition
members_of
Cognition and sentience attributed solely via observable behavior, not neural substrate or species.
Geometric goal-alignment in multi-scale systems
members_of
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.
