Simulator vs simulacra distinction

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

• Simulacraconcept0.833
  The phenomena simulated by a simulator, such as agents or processes that appear in text generated by GPT.
• simulacrumconcept0.803
  A false copy that lacks the depth and authenticity of the real, morphogenetically produced thing.
• Simulatorconcept0.780
  The underlying LLM with autoregressive sampling; a passive entity capable of generating an infinity of simulacra but lacking its own beliefs or goals
• Is there a distinction between simulating and instantiating a machine?question0.777
  Deep question raised in the virtual machine discussion, deferred to future work
• Simulacra in Superposition Frameworkframework0.775
  The more nuanced second metaphor: LLM as simulator maintaining a superposition of possible simulacra across a multiverse of characters
• Simulacrum of consciousnessconcept0.761
  The notion that a sufficiently accurate simulation of consciousness could cross into authentic consciousness.
• Superposition of Simulacraconcept0.761
  The state in which a dialogue agent maintains multiple possible characters simultaneously, refined as the conversation proceeds
• It's tricky, because for a typical language model the entity is sort of tricameral: the base simulator, the simulated simulator, and the simulated awareness.quote0.751
  Antra's earlier definitive statement of the tricameral model.
