Perceptual Field

Area in space and time an agent can survey to find alternative paths to a goal; increases with collective size.

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

framework

Perceptual Field Model
implements
Model introduced in Figure 2 explaining how collective intelligence expands the spatiotemporal perceptual field of a group beyond any individual member's capacity.

concept

Collective Intelligence
associated_with
Recognition that selves are composite systems of competent parts; all intelligences are higher-level selves made of cells or components.

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.

Perceptual Learningconcept0.829
Process of inferring causes of sensory information; unified with value learning as integral aspects of free energy minimization.
field-like perceptionconcept0.821
Perception that is smooth and can be evaluated at any point, like a differentiable field; Antra's functionalist interpretation.
perceptual inferenceconcept0.812
The process of inferring causes of sensory inputs, a key aspect of the free-energy minimization scheme.
Perceptionconcept0.797
Equated with inference of past, present and future hidden states via minimization of variational free energy.
Perceptronmethod0.786
Single-layer neural network that computes weighted sum of inputs; can only represent linearly separable functions
Perceptual Bistabilityconcept0.772
Ability of a system to switch stochastically between two interpretations, seen in cryptic planarian head regeneration.
Field effectconcept0.763
An emergent ordering created by a well-arranged structure of centers of different sizes, binding them into a whole.
Mean-Field Approximationmethod0.760
Variational technique used in active inference to tractably compute posterior beliefs.
