Indicator: state-dependent attention and sequential module recruitment for System 2 thought.

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.

Attentional Stateconcept0.801
Higher-order generative model variables modulating perceptual precision; subject to policy selection (deliberate shifts of attention).
Focused Attention Cycleconcept0.772
Formal model of meditation phenomenology: focus → distraction → awareness of distraction → redirection, derived from active inference.
Self-attentionconcept0.738
A form of key-query attention within a single input sequence; core to Transformers.
GWT-4: State-dependent attention, giving rise to the capacity to use the workspace to query modules in succession to perform complex tasksconcept0.737
Fourth GWT indicator; links global workspace to working memory and complex task performance; entails RPT-1
Attentionconcept0.729
Selective attention mechanism is a component of GWT-2 indicator; AST-1 models and enables control over attention
attention computationconcept0.729
Process using Q, K, V to compute a heat map over K and weighted sum of V.
Attention Decayconcept0.723
Decrease in attention paid to system prompt over conversational turns, leading to persona fidelity degradation (cited from Li et al.)
Dependmethod0.716
Attribute: attachment with issues of reliance, a text depending on another for meaning.
