Brigette Bardot Says It All (An Exercise in the 1D Cluster Variation Method)

Probably best to get the kids out of the room before you play this one. Lots of heavy breathing by Brigette. And you can read the backstory here. (And a bit more here, if you’re so inclined.) But to business … The Starting Point … and the FIRST Illustrative Text String I had previously worked… Continue reading Brigette Bardot Says It All (An Exercise in the 1D Cluster Variation Method)

CORTECONs and AGI: Reaching Latent Layer Equilibrium

The most important thing in building an AGI is the ability to repeated bring the latent layer to equilibrium. This is the fundamental capability that has been missing in previous neural networks. The lack of a dynamic process to continuously reach a free energy minimum is why we have not had, until now, a robust… Continue reading CORTECONs and AGI: Reaching Latent Layer Equilibrium

CORTECONS: A New Class of Neural Networks

In the classic science fiction novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, author Philip K. Dick gives us a futuristic plotline that would – even today – be more exciting and thought-provoking than many of the newly-released “AI/robot as monster” movies. The key question today is: Can androids dream? This is not as far-fetched as… Continue reading CORTECONS: A New Class of Neural Networks
