I think a lot of us have perceived this shift but I've been curious to see how it might bear out in the data. as others have said, this may well explain a lot about the tenor of elite conversation about politics over the past few years www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is the paper where, after almost 20 years, I started taking my AIT obsessions a bit more seriously. I am happy I did... maybe you have some too... => Don't wast time! : ) academic.oup.com/nc/article/2... PS: the Supplementary Data part is more fun!

An Introduction to Galois Theory (with connections to AIT): zenodo.org/records/1845... ...This note aims to demystify Galois Theory by connecting its foundational definitions to a broader principle of computational and compositional tractability.

Could life have begun with simpler molecules than we once thought? A new paper in @science.org by @edogia.bsky.social shows that a tiny RNA catalyst can self-replicate itself, suggesting that life may have been easier to emerge than expected. Getting closer. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

What if we had a Rosetta Stone for brain oscillations—one framework to translate between models and scales? In this paper lead by F Castaldo and @ruffini.bsky.social they build a simple, systematic ladder of neural mass models showing how diverse formalisms connect arxiv.org/pdf/2512.10982

1/ 🧠 New in Computational Neuroscience: "Rosetta Stone of Neural Mass Models." An unifying framework connecting harmonic oscillator with Stuart-Landau, Wilson-Cowan, NMM1 & NMM2 (next generation). W. @Castaldo_Fr, R de Palma Aristides, P Clusella & J Garcia-Ojalvo - arxiv.org/abs/2512.109...

New preprint 🪢: Neural Encoding through Hierarchical Amplitude Modulation (HAM). Slower rhythms multiplicatively modulate the amplitude of faster ones, so information can live in signals, their envelopes, and envelopes‑of‑envelopes. 1/5

News🥁! Preprint on an AIT version of the Good Regulator Theorem. World (W) and Regulator (R) are Turing machines interacting via "interface" tapes. Regulation =: compression of W output (e.g., x = temperature series of a room). #Cybernetics #AlT #ActiveInference arxiv.org/abs/2510.10300 1/9

Here's our poster – "Algorithmic Structure and Lie Groups" – at ICMNS 2025 (Barcelona): www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/qbn55... It is a summary of our recent paper, Structured Dynamics in the Algorithmic Agent (www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/27...).

🔬🧠 Can optimized stimulation protocols offer better outcomes for major #depression? This randomized trial, featuring our @ruffini.bsky.social and Ricardo Salvador, & our friend Mohammad Ali Salehinejad, used our Starstim (www.neuroelectrics.com/products/res...) to deliver multichannel tDCS.

How can brain stimulation uncover patterns of cognitive decline in #AlzheimersDisease? 🔍 This study, featuring our CTO @ruffini.bsky.social used our Starstim (www.neuroelectrics.com/products/res...) to explore how 40 Hz tACS-EEG gamma activity relates to cognitive severity & inflammation.

🧵 Thread: 1. The Laminar Neural Mass Model (LaNMM) — A Unified Framework for Oscillatory Dynamics in Health and Disease (news!) The Laminar Neural Mass Model (LaNMM) links circuit-level mechanisms to M/EEG biomarkers across brain states — from healthy function to disease and altered consciousness.

Blog! Post on our recent paper on symmetry, dynamics and neural networks (wet or dry) for the Entropy Special issue on “The Mathematics of Structured Experience: Exploring Dynamics, Topology, and Complexity in the Brain," still welcoming contributions! => www.neuroelectrics.com/blog/bridgin...

I am happy to announce that an updated/improved version of "Structured dynamics in the algorithmic agent" has been released! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We bridge perspectives from AIT (Kolmogorov C., compression), symmetry (group theory), and dynamics (conservation laws, reduced manifolds).

LLMs aren’t just statistical 🦜s. Learning the probability of the next letter based on the prior 100 brute-force would involve ~28¹⁰⁰ possibilities. This is cosmically impossible: ~28¹⁰⁰ is more than the atoms in the universe! 🌌 Instead, LLMs learn patterns—compressing vast amounts of information...

roombas are my go to example to test theories of AI minds. they have beliefs (well, maps), desires (well, goals), plans (well, schedules), embodiment, and more. what else could you ask for?
