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.

  • The evolution of an agent's latent representations over the course of training, shown to align with reward improvement when causal emergence is high.
  • The central empirical phenomenon: different neural networks trained on different data/objectives develop increasingly similar representations
  • Process Theoryconcept0.760
    Foundational framework consisting of systems (wires), processes (boxes), and composition (wirings); basis for quantum and compositional reasoning.
  • Category Theoryconcept0.756
    Fundamental mathematical tool; poset-as-category provides simple instances of categorical notions like products and adjunctions.
  • Property of conscious representations: they do not contain information about the fact that they are representations at the level of the representation itself
  • The theory that new levels of biological organization arise when independent replicators cooperate to form higher-level entities (Szathmáry, Maynard Smith).
  • Dominant interpretation of generative models as neural structures with representational content; main target of critique
  • The aspect of design dealing with data structures, modules, and implementation.
