- Large pretrained models used as backbones across tasks; their universality motivates the convergence hypothesis
- Technique to measure representational compatibility by integrating intermediate representations of one model into another
- A representation that captures relevant aspects of a system; according to the theorem, the regulator must embody this.
- Neural network models demonstrating how organized functional relationships emerge via unsupervised learning; basis for evolutionary connectionism analogy.
- Ability of a model to predict its own outputs or behavior, sometimes distinguished from introspection.
- Used by Alexander at Eishin to design complex wooden trusses with curved and stepped members by studying geometric distortion under load.
