Novel theories or conceptual extensions of mathematics are core to human progress, but are uniquely challenging to construct. The environment, be it physical reality or known formal system, provides the agent with limited observations, which it uses in an attempt to assemble a predictive model or policy. Asymmetry manifests differently:...
There are plenty of narratives about AI self-improvement, AGI, and superintelligence - and substantial uncertainty surrounding them all. In my opinion, these are completely reasonable things to worry about, considering three years ago your PC suddenly started talking to you. Naturally, I think about these questions too. Can I trust...
My work happens to consist of two things: writing code and doing math. That means that periodically I produce a very abstract thing, and then observe reality agree with its predictions. While satisfying, it has a common adverse effect of finding oneself in a deep philosophical confusion. An effect so...
About one month ago, I saw an Agile Manifesto. It inspired me to create my own one because you know, manifests seem to be popular. So, for the 1st of April, I created Rational Manifesto: * Manifests are full of obvious things. This is one of them. * The previous...
Let's take a look at the picture we've made. How does our mind process information? 1. You receive signals from your sensory mechanisms, and they activate neuronal networks in our brains. Most strongly coupled parts of the system enable as a whole, and that gives you a sense of the...
Our final problem. Let's take a look at our task: 1. We know that memories are coupled subnetworks in the Knowledge Graph. 2. We know that what we can recall them using our Working memory. 3. We understood the regulation mechanism that motivates us to do it. We also realized...
If you will feel confused reading this paragraph - you failed your exam. * If the thing that is now happening was expected by you - A+ * If you were thinking that I am wrong but understanding what's going on - A-. * If you can only explain why...
