cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edgeEntities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
- Foundational framework by Karl Friston; the paper extends it to three hierarchical levels for modeling meta-awareness.
- Changing configuration to sample environment differently; minimizes free energy.
- Physical systems whose hardware can be dynamically reconfigured, blurring the hardware/software distinction
- The view that biological substrates have intrinsic competencies, computational abilities, and homeodynamic setpoints, not merely passive matter.
- Internal representations of the model on which probes operate; the method uses activations to rank datapoints.
- Steering method deriving vectors from contrastive prompt pairs and adding to first-token activations.
- Electrical signals that plants display, propagating along vascular networks, analogous to animal neural signals.
