Multi-Stability (Toggle Switch)

A system with multiple stable states separated by energy barriers, used as an analogy for isomeric molecules.

Ratchet Mechanism
associated_with
Physical principle of stable states separated by energy barriers, allowing discrete jumps; exemplified in clocks, switches, molecular isomerism, and life.

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.

Multi-Turn Promptingmethod0.732
A prompting baseline that elicits N responses across N sequential conversation turns
Meta Stabilityconcept0.716
Condition where a pattern memory cannot settle on a unique outcome, producing stochastic switching; common to cognitive and morphogenetic systems.
Multi-Attempt Responseconcept0.712
A response containing multiple distinct attempts to answer the prompt, used as primary metric for ESR
Multi-stable mechanical systems with energy barriers (ratchets) provide a physical model for how genetic states persist and discretely change.hypothesis0.710
A minimal prompt change can flip behavior.quote0.707
Illustrates sensitivity to anchors.
Multi-Level Selection Theoryframework0.698
Framework dividing covariance of character and fitness into between-collective and within-collective components; addresses limitation of kin selection.
Multi-Response Diversityconcept0.697
Diversity measured over a set of m responses for a single conversation, as opposed to test set diversity
Multiple Realizabilityconcept0.697
Philosophical framework asserting same function can be implemented by very different systems; key to arguing sentience is substrate-independent.
