Unlocking the next generation of predictive intelligence through the Principle of Least Semantic Action.
Standard AI models are trapped in a heuristic loop. They master correlation but fail at causation.
Models optimized solely for prediction error learn brittle shortcuts that collapse in novel environments.
Opague decision making processes that offer no audit trail or explainability for critical failures.
Without physical grounding, large models confidently generate plausible but factually incorrect outputs.

The agent consumes entropy (data) as a fuel source. It expends computational energy to reduce this entropy into ordered knowledge.
A "System 2" watchdog that actively rejects hallucinations. It uses counterfactual simulation to test new data against established physical laws before integration (Veto Power).
A temporal graph optimized for signal propagation. Unlike static databases, the Relational Engine allows "pain" (error signals) to travel instantly across the entire memory architecture.
Real-time code execution path from sensation to action.
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.
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"
}
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
Trust requires verification. If internal "Kinetic Energy" (Surprise) spikes, System 2 engages to simulate counterfactuals and veto dangerous thoughts before they are acted upon.
# 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
We model intelligence not as statistical pattern matching, but as a physical system minimizing Cognitive Action.
The "velocity" of thought. It represents Surprise—the KL divergence between the agent's prior belief and the new posterior state.
The "position" relative to truth. It represents Confusion—the reconstruction loss or distance between prediction and reality.
Just as light takes the fastest path, the agent naturally seeks the most parsimonious causal explanation by minimizing the Action integral.
A critical experiment to determine if Artificial General Intelligence can be grounded in physical truth.
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.
The physics-constrained model fails to outperform the Transformer on out-of-distribution tasks.
The model successfully recovers invariant physical laws and generalizes perfectly to novel environments.
We are building the testbench. We need rigorous validation.
We build consumer applications that solve real problems to generate the high-entropy, causal data streams needed to train the Ontonic model.
