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.
- Behavior driven by prior preferences (extrinsic value); dominates when uncertainty is resolved
- Probability of sensory input expected by an agent, aligning value maximization with surprise minimization.
- Value derived from information gain; comprises salience and novelty.
- Core design principle allowing new modules and data types to be added without modifying core; enabled by Oberon's type extension feature.
- Attribute: any conditional refinement, a softening or complicating of a statement.
- Expected information gain about hidden states; drives curiosity and novelty-seeking; mutual information term in expected free energy.
- The tacit assumption that values, especially in architecture and art, are merely personal opinions without objective reality, rooted in the mechanistic world-picture.
- The plasticity or willingness of cells to move; raised by stress sharing, analogous to annealing temperature.
