Overview

Extracted from the local paper documentation when available.

This paper integrates concepts from Husserlian phenomenology, active inference, and category theory to create a framework for understanding social action based on shared goals. It emphasizes the role of shared protentions among agents and their connection to collective goal-directed behavior.

Concise findings and methods pulled from README/SKILL documentation.

Findings / Concepts
  • Development of a comprehensive framework linking phenomenology, active inference, and category theory.
  • Formalization of shared goals in terms of shared protentions within multi-agent systems.
  • Introduction of mathematical tools from category theory to model interactions among agents.
  • Exploration of the emergence of group intentionality through shared protentions.
Methods / Techniques
  • Review of Husserlian phenomenology focusing on inner time-consciousness concepts.
  • Application of active inference as a formal approach to model agent behavior.
  • Utilization of sheaf and topos theory to represent agent interactions and shared understanding.
  • Construction of a 'consensus topos' to analyze social action based on shared goals.
