Frameworks (1)

framework
  • A conceptual framework for understanding cognition and intelligence across diverse substrates—including evolved biological systems, artificial systems, and bioengineered systems—using empirically-grounded, gradualist approaches. TTAME enables comparative analysis of mind-like phenomena regardless of the physical or biological substrate in which it emerges, facilitating cross-disciplinary study of unconventional intelligences.

Concepts (2)

concept
  • Activities of a Self that gather, process, and act on information for adaptive action.
  • The functional, dynamic aspect of a Self resulting from all cognitive and somatic activities.

    Core concept: capacity to experience as a subject; argued to be substrate-independent and achievable across diverse biological systems.
  • Formulated as shareable knowledge (con: together; scire: to know); associated with inference over counterfactual models
  • The functional ability to solve problems in various spaces, not tied to specific implementations.
  • A coherent system owning associations, memories, and preferences, defined by its cognitive light cone.
  • An event in the traversal of a space that is efficiently modeled as a choice among options.
  • Properties of decision-making and adaptive action; the degree to which a system requires higher-level models.
  • TAME posits that consciousness comes in degrees and kinds, not binary, and is tied to goal-directed activity.
