concept

integrated information (ΦID)
related_tosame_as
Measure of self-coherence; proposed to test if memories increase composite system coherence.
Causal Emergence
implements
Core concept: degree to which an agent exerts unique predictive power on its future; key to cognition at all scales.
Latent-Space Representations
implements
Substrate on which causal emergence was computed across agent lifetimes; aligned with learning success.

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.
