arXiv:2608. 16409v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Today, a neural system is almost always used in two phases -- trained, then deployed -- and in that regime it freezes twice: training ends, and the topology itself was never a degree of freedom.

arXiv:2606. 12502v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose that value -- the quantity goal-directed agents create, destroy, and exchange -- is a lawful structural quantity in the same category as information.

arXiv:2602. 03846v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We develop a continual learning method for pretrained models that \emph{requires no access to old-task data}, addressing a practical barrier in foundation model adaptation where pretraining distributions are often unavailable.

arXiv:2607. 18433v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Intelligence appears under different names in different fields: as data compression in statistics and machine learning, as universal computation in dynamical systems, and as adaptive behavior in agents.

arXiv:2607. 00006v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Beckmann & Butlin's (2026) ontological framework for the LLM individuation problem inherits an unargued cross-regime co-reference assumption from the persona-vectors literature: that the same direction picks out the same content under prompt-conditioning, gradient-descent fine-tuning, and inference-time steering.

arXiv:2606. 21253v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Continual learning that is gradient-free, local, online, and append-only is attractive for edge and streaming deployment, but its value is usually argued informally.
