Overview

primitive emulation of social cortex currently only about tagging object types and labeled objects in simulations and having them refer to a table of category and response, which might include a sim of their own sensitive to cues such as mood or transferable cues of when the object type is called; then "emulated" in the mind a pulse-to-response only version of the associated objects for this purpose ( should update with more social cortex posits soon )

Findings and contributions

  • Proposes classifying entities on a certainty spectrum, from predictable (walls, rocks) to highly dynamic social entities carrying their own prediction matrix.
  • Introduces a self-social (OTSSA) label so identities can be represented and swapped into social-social simulations in place of another social creature.
  • Notes that biologically objects may first be treated as social and then downgraded, but the sketch deliberately starts bottom-up for an optimized working agent.
  • States the aim of building an agent by attaching any vision model to a labeling regime, which the authors flag as subject to change.

Methods

  • Cat-in-environment thought scenario for a simulated agent — The design is framed around a single agent (a cat) perceiving an environment of objects, each treated as a signal-publishing beacon.
  • Pattern-scan and labeling procedure with object-type codes — A numbered formal process scans vision for patterns, ranks them by significance, and assigns labels such as OTSP, OTSA, OTSB and OTSSB by object type.
  • Beacons table with confirmation and weight pulses — Sketches building a beacons table, checking nearest object types, then publishing pulses as weights onto the agent's simulation.
  • Baseline-to-learned epigenetic reaction tables — Beacon processing trees are encoded in a table that starts from an inherited baseline of reactions and is modified by learning.
