• "Computational processes are abstract beings that inhabit computers... A computational process is indeed much like a sorcerer's idea of a spirit. It cannot be seen or touched. It is not composed of matter at all."quote0.816
  Load-bearing quote from SICP framing computation as spirit-like; grounds the cyberanimism framework
• Modern reasoning models can be placed within the longstanding tradition framing computation as a physical processclaim0.795
  Closing claim connecting to Moore/Shaw/Crutchfield-style physical computation theory.
• processesconcept0.789
  Represented by boxes in process theory; transformations that take systems as inputs/outputs
• Computational Mechanicsframework0.781
  Crutchfield's framework inferring minimal causal models from stochastic processes; causal states and transition matrices.
• Structure in computationconcept0.780
  The actual computational operations a model performs, which the paper argues need not mirror representational structure

• Adaptive Computationconcept0.771
  The broader goal of dynamically allocating computation based on task difficulty, enabled by probe-guided early exit
