The Causality Deficit

Standard AI models are trapped in a heuristic loop. They master correlation but fail at causation.

ERR_01

Heuristic Trap

Models optimized solely for prediction error learn brittle shortcuts that collapse in novel environments.

ERR_02

Black Box

Opague decision making processes that offer no audit trail or explainability for critical failures.

ERR_03

Hallucination

Without physical grounding, large models confidently generate plausible but factually incorrect outputs.

The Cognitive Pipeline

Real-time code execution path from sensation to action.

01

SENSE: Ingestion

We turn chaos into a standard signal. Raw data—text, images, logs—is ingested and standardized into a unified format. This turns separate streams of entropy into a single, cohesive Semantic Mass ready for processing.

src/perception/deepr/ingestion_d.py
class DataIngestionModule(nn.Module):
    def process_text(self, text):
        # 1. Real Tokenization (GPT-2 BPE)
        encoded = self.tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')
        
        # 2. Embed into Latent Space (768D)
        # assigning "mass" to the information
        vectors = self.embedding(encoded['input_ids'])
        
        return {
            "timestamp": time.time(),
            "vectors": vectors, 
            "source": "user_input"
        }
02

PERCEIVE: Temporal Graph

The architecture doesn't just store data; it relates it. The Relational Engine binds new inputs to historical context, constructing a dynamic Temporal Graph of cause and effect.

src/perception/relational_tgn/temporal_context_graph_r.py
class RelationalEngine(nn.Module):
    def forward(self, input_embedding):
        # 1. Upsert Thought to Relational Engine (Persistent Memory)
        self.memory_client.upsert_points("working_memory", input_embedding)
        
        # 2. Retrieve Causal Context (Neighbors)
        # "What implies this? What does this imply?"
        results = self.memory_client.search_points(input_embedding)
        
        # 3. Refine via Graph Attention (GAT)
        refined_memory = self.gat(results, edge_index)
        
        return refined_memory # Context-Aware Thought
03

COGNITION: Compression

To understand the world, the agent must simplify it. The Claustral Core (GATE) compresses the complex graph into a single, probabilistic belief state ($z$), filtering out noise to find the signal.

src/cognition/gate/claustral_core_gate.py
class OntonicGATE(nn.Module):
    def forward(self, x, edge_index):
        # 1. Aggregate Graph Info
        x = F.elu(self.gat1(x, edge_index))
        
        # 2. Project to Gaussian Parameters (μ, σ)
        mu = self.fc_mu(x)       # Mean (Belief)
        logvar = self.fc_logvar(x) # Uncertainty
        
        # 3. Sample Latent Belief State (z)
        z = self.reparameterize(mu, logvar)
        
        return z, mu, logvar
04

DYNAMICS: Physics Update

This is where thinking happens. The iGLNN Physics Engine minimizes "Semantic Action", evolving the belief state along the most parsimonious trajectory—mimicking how nature finds the path of least resistance.

src/cognition/iglnn/intrinsic_glnn.py
class iGLNN(nn.Module):
    def compute_euler_lagrange_residual(self, q, q_dot):
        # 1. Compute Lagrangian: L = T - V
        L = self.compute_lagrangian(q, q_dot)
        
        # 2. Euler-Lagrange Equation
        # d/dt(∂L/∂q̇) - ∂L/∂q = F_nc
        # This forces the agent to follow the path of least action.
        residual = dt_dL_dq_dot - dL_dq - F_nc
        
        return residual
05

GOVERN: System 2

Trust requires verification. If internal "Kinetic Energy" (Surprise) spikes, System 2 engages to simulate counterfactuals and veto dangerous thoughts before they are acted upon.

src/ontonic_agent.py
# 1. Calculate Semantic Kinetic Energy (Surprise)
T_scalar = self.physics.compute_kinetic_energy(mu_t, prev_mu)

# 2. Engage System 2 if Surprise > Threshold
if self.cee.should_engage_system2(T_scalar):
    # 3. CPTM: Simulate Counterfactuals (What if?)
    outcome = self.ree.simulate_counterfactual(input, action)
    
    # 4. Check Prosocial Utility
    u_prosocial = self.ree.estimate_prosocial_utility(outcome)
    
    if u_prosocial < -0.5:
        return np.nan # VETO ACTION

Core Innovation: The Physics of Thought

We model intelligence not as statistical pattern matching, but as a physical system minimizing Cognitive Action.

L = T - V
T

Kinetic Energy

Information Divergence

The "velocity" of thought. It represents Surprise—the KL divergence between the agent's prior belief and the new posterior state.

T = D_KL(Q(z|x) || P(z))
V

Potential Energy

Prediction Error

The "position" relative to truth. It represents Confusion—the reconstruction loss or distance between prediction and reality.

V = -E[log P(x|z)]
S

Principle of Least Action

Parsimony

Just as light takes the fastest path, the agent naturally seeks the most parsimonious causal explanation by minimizing the Action integral.

S = ∫ (T - V) dt
RESEARCH PROPOSAL

The Inductive Bias Probe

A critical experiment to determine if Artificial General Intelligence can be grounded in physical truth.

STATUS OPEN PROPOSAL
SUBJECT Lagrangian Neural Networks

The Hypothesis

If we constrain the latent dynamics of a neural network to satisfy the Principle of Least Action ($\delta S = 0$), then the network will be forced to learn interpretable, generalizable physical laws instead of statistical correlations.

POTENTIAL OUTCOMES

Defining the Event Horizon

Scenario A: The Null Hypothesis

The physics-constrained model fails to outperform the Transformer on out-of-distribution tasks.

Implication: The "Heuristic Trap" is unavoidable. Neural networks are fundamentally limited to curve-fitting, and true causal understanding requires a non-gradient-based paradigm.
OR

Scenario B: The Ontonic Thesis

The model successfully recovers invariant physical laws and generalizes perfectly to novel environments.

Implication: Intelligence is a physical symmetry. By encoding the laws of physics into the learning objective, we can build Trustworthy, Interpretable AGI.

We are building the testbench. We need rigorous validation.

DATA GENERATION

Fueling the Model with Reality

We build consumer applications that solve real problems to generate the high-entropy, causal data streams needed to train the Ontonic model.
