This post was rejected for the following reason(s):

  • Difficult to evaluate, with potential yellow flags. We are sorry about this, but, unfortunately this content has some yellow-flags that historically have usually indicated kinda crackpot-esque material. It's totally plausible that actually this one is totally fine. Unfortunately, part of the trouble with separating valuable from confused speculative science or philosophy is that the ideas are quite complicated, accurately identifying whether they have flaws is very time intensive, and we don't have time to do that for every new user presenting a speculative theory or framing (which are usually wrong).

    Our solution for now is that we're rejecting this post, but you are welcome to submit posts or comments that are about different topics. If it seems like that goes well, we can re-evaluate the original post. But, we want to see that you're not just here to talk about this one thing (or a cluster of similar things).

  • Insufficient Quality for AI Content. There’ve been a lot of new users coming to LessWrong recently interested in AI. To keep the site’s quality high and ensure stuff posted is interesting to the site’s users, we’re currently only accepting posts that meets a pretty high bar. 

    If you want to try again, I recommend writing something short and to the point, focusing on your strongest argument, rather than a long, comprehensive essay. (This is fairly different from common academic norms). We get lots of AI essays/papers every day and sadly most of them don't make very clear arguments, and we don't have time to review them all thoroughly. 

    We look for good reasoning, making a new and interesting point, bringing new evidence, and/or building upon prior discussion. If you were rejected for this reason, possibly a good thing to do is read more existing material. The AI Intro Material wiki-tag is a good place, for example.

I’ve developed a full architecture for an AGI system that reasons by simulating internal visual scenes, not just predicting tokens.

Unlike transformer models, this system integrates:

  • Visual Thought Simulation (to "see" abstract and concrete ideas)
  • Meta-Cognitive Loops (to catch contradictions and self-correct)
  • Symbolic Memory Graphs (to store beliefs and adjust them over time)
  • Motivation Modeling (with curiosity-driven goal generation)

46-page technical PDF available here:

I'm looking for feedback, critiques, or discussion about this visual-first AGI approach.
