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

• Perceptual Reality Monitoring Theory (PRM)framework0.740
  A computational HOT claiming that consciousness depends on metacognitive monitoring distinguishing reliable perceptual representations from noise.
• Predictive Processing Theoryframework0.739
  Theory that perception and cognition involve predictive coding; listed with indicators in Butlin et al. 2023.
• Process Theoryconcept0.738
  Foundational framework consisting of systems (wires), processes (boxes), and composition (wirings); basis for quantum and compositional reasoning.
• R-Transformer: Recurrent Neural Network Enhanced Transformer (Wang et al., 2019)concept0.727
  Prior work on recurrently generated position encodings; cited as precedent for TEM-t's recurrent position encoding method.
• Transformers are recurrent through autoregression because K/V stream provides horizontal information flow across positions.claim0.721
  Claim formalizing the Anima Labs idea that transformers are effectively recurrent due to K/V stream.
• Reinforcement learning (RL)concept0.719
  Machine learning paradigm where agents learn to maximize cumulative reward through interaction.
• autoregressive recurrenceconcept0.719
  Transformers are recurrent through autoregression because the K/V stream provides horizontal information flow across positions, even though each forward pass is feedforward.
• Process theories can be derived from variational principles in a straightforward manner with biological plausibility.hypothesis0.712
  Paper's core methodological hypothesis: gap between normative and process-level theories can be bridged.
