substrate-agnostic

A predictive, substrate-agnostic theory of consciousness proposing that awareness arises from delayed sensory processing, memory integration, and recursive modeling. Applicable to both biological and artificial systems. Authored by Joshua B. Hinkson, MA · Published 2025 · Public preprint available on Academia.edu.

Adaptive Intelligence Framework (AIF) formalizes intelligence as a boundary-regulated adaptive process. Grounded in SymC principles, it studies how systems maintain coherence under uncertainty through constraint negotiation, regulation, and phase transitions - focusing on adaptive stability rather than benchmark optimization or ML scaling.
