cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edgeEntities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
- The ability to generalize across tasks; lacking in latent methods.
- Evaluation criteria for sentience based solely on observable response patterns, independent of substrate.
- Rouleau & Levin's position: evaluation criteria should focus on observable response patterns without reference to the substrate producing them.
- Core operation in transformers, computing weighted combinations of previous elements
