Concepts (3)

concept
  • The expected conditional entropy of outcomes given hidden states; lowering ambiguity favors states that solicit unambiguous observations.
  • Expected Free Energy
    associated_with
    Free energy expected under future outcomes; guides policy selection via epistemic and extrinsic value.
  • Compositionality
    associated_with
    Central concept: how meaning of wholes depends on meanings of parts and their structural arrangement; multiple formulations explored (Frege, Schrödinger, Whitehead, LEGO).

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

  • The drive to reduce expected ambiguity about outcomes given states, leading to seeking well-lit, informative environments.
  • extentconcept0.788
    The set of objects A of a formal concept (A,B).
  • implicationconcept0.787
    Implication A → B holds in a formal context iff every object that has all attributes in A also has all in B.
  • Contrastconcept0.779
    The property that living structures contain intense contrast—far more than one imagines helpful; true opposites which annihilate each other when superimposed, creating differentiation that gives birth to something; contrast unifies rather than separates when used correctly
  • The property that centers are hooked into their surroundings through intermediate centers that belong ambiguously to both, making it difficult to disentangle the center from its context and creating deeper unification
  • Referencemethod0.764
    Bibliographical element: a dynamic branching outward or internal link, citing or connecting to another text.
  • Key element for alignment faking: model's pre-existing preferences contradict the new training objective
