Overview

BehavioralCycle / CYC / “ from epigenetic-sequence / epigenetic-cycle” transcribed onto ROS-like / gymnasium like Nodes-of-action-sequence; but in actual essence; is just an empty node-scaffold To fill with action-context-pairs that is designed so that they are decomposable Onto the lowest level (which is muscle tension %) “ BevCYC is a framework that implements a decomposable Chain of Node ( N – N – N ) Representing an Action Sequence / Concept Sequence That is based on the Epigenetic Cycle ideations.

Findings and contributions

  • The authors posit that state–action–state triplets can be treated as state–state–state, deliberately blurring the state/action distinction.
  • The authors suggest a minimal 'silly cat' agent demonstrating only social-cortex logging and applying could be built in the near term.
  • The authors flag that the work is experimental and hypothesized, with later revision for proper active inference modeling contingent on technical help.

Methods

  • Decomposable chain of nodes (N–N–N) for action/concept sequences — Proposes BevCYC as a chain of empty nodes for action-context pairs, modeled on epigenetic-cycle ideas, representing action or concept sequences.
  • Hierarchical decomposition down to muscle tension % — Nodes are decomposed hierarchically until they resolve to a muscle tension percentage at the lowest level.
  • Shrinking $$$] / $$] / $] scaffold with interruption slots — Experiments with a scaffold whose earlier nodes have more slots (L) for interruption or vision/theme injection than later ones.
  • Worked sketch: cat food-seeking cycle (EpiFoodPlau) as ROS-style nodes — Illustrates the idea with a cat morning routine of chained triplets (wake–roam–sleep, roam–hunt–roam) treated as ROS nodes with completion checkpoints.
  • Proposed conversion node/table to robotics frameworks (BT, HTN, STRIPS) — Suggests converting BevCycles to behavior trees, HTNs, motor primitives or STRIPS planning by adding a conversion node and table.
