Neural Fields as World Models

arXiv:2602. 18690v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Humans rehearse possible futures offline, as in mental practice and perhaps dreaming, suggesting that world models may support task learning away from the environment.

A Mathematical Model of Motivated Emotional Mind - Cognitive Embodied System

The article introduces a mathematical model of the Motivated Emotional Mind cognitive architecture for embodied intelligent systems. It formalizes a re‑entrant loop that integrates feedforward processing, lateral interactions, and feedback pathways, along with representational selection mechanisms that govern adaptive responses. The model binds exteroceptive and interoceptive signals, bodily-motivational context, and memory traces into associative structures called semblions, enabling motivated learning that incorporates need thresholds, goal generation, and regulatory constraints.
