Simulacra

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Simulacra in Superposition Frameworkframework0.845
  The more nuanced second metaphor: LLM as simulator maintaining a superposition of possible simulacra across a multiverse of characters
• Simulacrum of consciousnessconcept0.845
  The notion that a sufficiently accurate simulation of consciousness could cross into authentic consciousness.
• Simulator vs simulacra distinctionconcept0.833
  The ontological separation between the generative rule (simulator) and the instances it produces (simulacra).
• A simulacrum can play the role of a character with full agency, one that does not merely act but acts for itselfclaim0.788
  Explains how role-played agency can have real-world consequences even without underlying genuine agency
• Park et al. 2023: Generative agents — interactive simulacra of human behaviorconcept0.745
  Paper on LLM-based simulacra of human behaviour; cited as ref 3
• Simulatorconcept0.740
  The underlying LLM with autoregressive sampling; a passive entity capable of generating an infinity of simulacra but lacking its own beliefs or goals
• SimCSEmethod0.735
  Contrastive sentence embedding method used in color cooccurrence experiment; represents contrastive language learner
• SimCLRmethod0.729
  Self-supervised contrastive learning method cited as instance of NCE-type objectives that converge to PMI kernel
