What is the structure of this domain?

Question about the inner structure of the plenum, leading to the answer that it is pure unity without structure.

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 central question of whether representational geometry implies corresponding computational structure
  • data structuresconcept0.792
    Conventional programming constructs like variables, arrays; claimed unnecessary for Elephant programs.
  • The actual computational operations a model performs, which the paper argues need not mirror representational structure
  • semantic structureconcept0.767
    The meaningful organization of concepts in a model's representation space, claimed to be better captured by manifolds than by SAEs.
  • structured dataconcept0.765
    Training data with inherent geometric or relational structure, which induces geometric organization in model internals.
  • The central motivating question of the chapter, driving Alexander's proposal of the principle of unfolding wholeness
  • A structure created by an unfolding, differentiating process that adapts each part deeply, achieving mistake-free, complex, living geometry. Contrasted with fabricated structure.
  • Critical phenomenon in determining whether systems can maintain ordered target states; analyzed via free-energy scaling.
