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.
- Simulating biological computation on digital hardware is fundamentally different from instantiating it; SpiNNaker example shows digital neuromorphic systems miss consciousness-relevant properties.
- The objective of minimizing predictive error on a self-supervised distribution, leading to Bayes-optimal conditional inference.
- The use of hand-drawn simulations to visualize step-by-step unfolding of the four-fold pattern over time.
- The underlying LLM with autoregressive sampling; a passive entity capable of generating an infinity of simulacra but lacking its own beliefs or goals
- Philosophical problem underlying sentience assessment: how to determine consciousness in beings unlike ourselves.
- The risk that any indicator merely correlated with consciousness can be artificially implemented without the system actually being conscious
- The question of how competent small-scale agents bind into a unified larger Self.
- Problem of finding a system with desired response to perturbation; contrasted with forward problem of predicting responses of a given system
