Predictive Set Theory: A Generative Framework for Cognitive Architecture with Operationalized Core Mechanisms

arXiv:2608. 02704v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Predictive processing theories portray the brain as a hierarchical prediction engine that minimizes prediction error, yet they lack operational definitions for the structure of a "prediction," the standardized response to a prediction error, and the mechanism that maintains consistency across successive updates.

Agents That Model Agents: Five Principles Toward a Theory of Mind for 6G Networks

The paper proposes that future 6G networks will use Large Language Model agents to manage the Radio Access Network, but current designs mistakenly treat inter‑agent messages as objective facts. It argues that messages are actually traces of the sender’s reasoning, carrying subjective conclusions that can propagate hallucinations and cause outages. By modeling these interactions as cognitive channels on a cellular sheaf, the authors derive five design principles—treating messages as evidence of hidden reasoning, defining trust as a continuous cognitive Signal‑to‑Noise Ratio, computing network consistency via the sheaf’s Laplacian, limiting peer‑modeling to two levels, and bounding credible capacity by goal alignment—and validate them with a signaling‑storm study on 1B‑parameter telecom language models.
