Cognitive Computing
Cognitive Computing
Section titled “Cognitive Computing”MindFry draws from neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and computational theory.
Theoretical Foundations
Section titled “Theoretical Foundations”Hebbian Learning
Section titled “Hebbian Learning”“Neurons that fire together, wire together.”
MindFry implements this through automatic bond strengthening:
- Co-accessed lineages form synergy bonds
- Frequent co-activation strengthens bonds
- Neglected bonds decay
Spreading Activation
Section titled “Spreading Activation”Memory retrieval in humans works through spreading activation — activating one concept primes related concepts.
MindFry’s synaptic propagation is a computational model of this process.
Mood-Congruent Memory
Section titled “Mood-Congruent Memory”Psychological research shows that mood affects memory accessibility. Happy people recall happy memories more easily.
MindFry’s consciousness threshold implements this directly:
- High mood → Low threshold → More accessible
- Low mood → High threshold → Only intense memories surface
Mathematical Mechanics
Section titled “Mathematical Mechanics”Consciousness Threshold
Section titled “Consciousness Threshold”τ(μ) = 0.5 × (1 - μ)Where μ ∈ [0, 1] is the current mood.
Organic Decay
Section titled “Organic Decay”E(t) = E₀ × e^(-λt)Exponential decay mirrors biological forgetting curves.
Synaptic Induction
Section titled “Synaptic Induction”δ_target = δ_source × strength × polarity × (1 - resistance)Energy propagates through bonds with damping.
Personality Resonance
Section titled “Personality Resonance”resonance(P, D) = (1/8) × Σ[(Pᵢ × Dᵢ + 1) / 2]How well data “fits” the system’s personality.
