Attentional State

Higher-order generative model variables modulating perceptual precision; subject to policy selection (deliberate shifts of attention).

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

concept

Precision Parameter (γ)
associated_with
Core mechanism across all three levels; inverse variance controlling how much the system trusts evidence at each hierarchical level.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

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

attentional modeconcept0.818
Variable aperture of attention, ranging from collapsed to expanded; human and model analogs.
Attentionconcept0.808
Selective attention mechanism is a component of GWT-2 indicator; AST-1 models and enables control over attention
State-dependent attentionconcept0.801
Attention where selection depends on the current state of the system, enabling top-down control.
attention computationconcept0.784
Process using Q, K, V to compute a heat map over K and weighted sum of V.
Attention Decayconcept0.777
Decrease in attention paid to system prompt over conversational turns, leading to persona fidelity degradation (cited from Li et al.)
attention mechanismconcept0.776
Core operation in transformers, computing weighted combinations of previous elements
Focused Attention Cycleconcept0.766
Formal model of meditation phenomenology: focus → distraction → awareness of distraction → redirection, derived from active inference.
Attention streamsconcept0.761
Term introduced by this paper for the horizontal axis of information flow in transformers across token-positions via attention heads
