memory as inductive inference

Von Foerster's view that memory is fundamentally generalization, not inherently temporal.

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

thinker

Heinz Von Foerster
introduces
Referenced for principle of symmetry between foresight, hindsight, and insight in temporal interpretation.

method

Copycat system
implements
Hofstadter & Mitchell's analogy-making model illustrating intelligence as abstract mapping.

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.
