Modularity

Property of developmental systems where functions are encapsulated in modules with simple triggers, enhancing evolvability.

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.

functional complexityconcept0.781
Flusser’s category of complexity where a system provides a complex use (like chess), enabling creative plays.
Functional Programmingframework0.769
One of the three major competing approaches to parallel programming mentioned in the paper; used for comparison with Linda.
Functionalismframework0.759
Epistemological position that what any phenomenon is is its causal/operational role; rejects hidden essence; foundational to CIMC's stance
Computational Functionalismframework0.750
Hypothesis that some class of computations suffices for consciousness; central assumption for AI consciousness route.
Functional Faithfulnessconcept0.749
Empirical effect where intervening on one feature induces coherent shifts across multiple linguistic dimensions aligned with the target attribute.
Functional closureconcept0.748
The property of a subsystem that cannot influence others; used to lesion systems in simulations.
Modular additionconcept0.740
The mathematically natural computation for cyclic concepts (e.g., addition mod 12 for months), which the paper shows Llama does NOT directly implement
Functional Adaptationconcept0.734
The deep fit between a building's form and its functional requirements, achieved only through differentiation.
