TOTE loop

Schematic cybernetic mechanism for goal-pursuit via continuous error-minimization between current state and set point; illustrated in Figure 1A.

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

concept

Homeostatic drive
implements
Fundamental living process—reducing difference between current and optimal conditions—hypothesized as primal origin of goal-directedness and higher cognition.

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.
