Occam Window Pruning

Pruning policy trees by discarding policies whose expected free energy exceeds that of the best by a threshold.

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

paper

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.
