An Energy-Based Mechanism for Compositional Behavior

The paper proposes a single variational principle that explains how gating mechanisms, their dynamics, and neural implementations for behavioral composition can be unified. This principle yields softmax gating, an energy‑based dynamical system with guaranteed convergence, and a recurrent neural network model with context‑dependent, local interactions. Experiments across collective behavior, human decision‑making, and layered control show that the mechanism reproduces known behavioral patterns, offers interpretable accounts of behavior combination, and matches or outperforms existing methods.
