concept
  • Secondary substrate demonstrating cross-modal applicability of manifold steering.
  • The joint distribution over events in the world that generate observed data; the proposed endpoint of representational convergence
  • Causal Emergence
    associated_with
    Core concept: degree to which an agent exerts unique predictive power on its future; key to cognition at all scales.
  • Introspection
    associated_with
    The ability of a model to observe its own past internal states or computations; claimed to be architecturally permitted by transformers.
