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.
- Memory of antler damage position in deer, persisting across years despite antler shedding; an example of spatial memory in morphogenesis.
- The central topic, treated as a dynamic, agential process rather than static storage.
- Information about body structure that persists across cellular turnover and regeneration.
- Memory system that stores patterns in connection weights and recalls them from partial or noisy cues; property of Hopfield networks and evolved networks
- Bioelectric pattern memory encoding target morphologies; can be modified by experience and persists across regeneration cycles; functional analog of behavioral memory.
- Machine learning problem, avoided in biology via polycomputing adding new interpretations.
- nostalgebraist's term for measuring performance when the model is incentivised to perform well.
- Memory transfer across tissues and through metamorphosis supports persistence of Self.
