  • Pragmatic Behaviorconcept0.755
    Behavior driven by prior preferences (extrinsic value); dominates when uncertainty is resolved
  • valueconcept0.753
    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.
  • Extenuationmethod0.725
    Attribute: any conditional refinement, a softening or complicating of a statement.
  • Epistemic Valueconcept0.723
    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.
