3 research directions
How can a computational self remain aligned with the person it represents?
We investigate architectures for identity, memory, intention, experience, and continuity: how computational selves develop through interaction, remain faithful to a person, and adapt to changing circumstances.
Computational selfhoodWhat is intention before there is a conscious agent to intend?
We explore intention as intrinsic directedness in living systems. Intention Plasma asks whether a proposed organization of biological fields could contribute to coherence and orchestration, and how such a proposal could be tested.
Physical foundations of intentionHow does a self preserve its direction amid competing intentions?
We study concealed objectives, strategic deception, and the preservation of agency under manipulation. The aim is to distinguish an agent’s own governing intention from externally imposed objectives.
