Overview

Extracted from the local paper documentation when available.

The AlphaFund whitepaper reframes recursive self-improvement (RSI) as a portfolio optimization problem: a corporation recursively improves when realized economic gains finance the next cycle of better prediction and deployment, and the firm's standing is summarized by t-RSI, a standardized gap between alpha-creation and alpha-decay rates. AlphaCOGANT observes that this construction is, term for...

Use Notes

Concise findings and methods pulled from README/SKILL documentation.

Findings / Concepts
  • t-RSI metric recovers as standardized EFE-improvement certificate for recursive self-improvement
  • Corporate EWM maps to five-channel hidden-state factors: Investments, Sensors, Actuators, Parameters, R&D
  • Epistemic value equals information gain about EWM purchased by Sensors/R&D (data-scaling law)
  • Filtration integrity constraint enforces no-peeking discipline in corporate modeling
Methods / Techniques
  • Generalized Notation Notation (GNN) modeling
  • Active Inference simulation
  • Portfolio optimization analysis
  • State inference
