Novel framework introduced by this paper: three-level generative model (perception, attention, meta-awareness) for formalizing consciousness of one's own attentional states.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
