Formulating a prior intention constitutes a catastrophic bifurcation—a phase change in cognitive organization—analogous to Bénard cell emergence.

• "When agents formulate a prior intention, the establishment of second-order contextual constraints dissipates the disequilibrium by reorganizing a more complex region of cognitive and affective space."concept0.807
  Load-bearing characterization of how prior intention forms as phase transition in cognitive dynamics; core mechanism of action.
• Such priors suppress the inherent contextuality of the boundary and that their removal constitutes a formal counterpart to the Buddhist notion of emptiness realisation.claim0.775
  Equivalence claim between prior removal and emptiness.
• In response to disequilibrium either within an agent's own cognitive organization or between the agent's cognitive state and other internal dynamics, a person's current frame of mind can undergo a phase change and recalibrate to rectify the disequilibrium.concept0.775
• Thinking about creation in this way, brutal and too-decisive though it may seem, is the process by which the guts of a thing, its valuable force, is made.claim0.767
  Final claim: the brutal geometric process is what gives anything its essential force and value
• The key question is not only the scale-up of a unitary cognitive capacity, but the many-into-one transition: the emergence of minds from collectives, working in spaces beyond those of their component cells.quote0.764
  Encapsulates the core challenge of the field.
• A belief in impermanence can be computationally modeled as a global belief in volatility leading to increased learning rate and weakened priorsclaim0.763
  Novel computational translation of the Buddhist doctrine of impermanence into active inference parameters
• Flusser places computation at the threshold of a crisis in which objective reason acquires autonomy and turns against the human itself.claim0.760
  Interpretation of Flusser’s warning about the autonomy of apparatuses; used to ground the urgency of open games.
• Foundation-ness is precisely the degree to which learned representations remain coherent when the ground shifts; loss of coherence forces fallback to prior defaults.claim0.759
