Physarum toybox 1.0: an interactive finger-front model of the vein network of Physarum polycephalum

A small, free Python program for playing with the growth of the vein network of the slime mould Physarum polycephalum. Core idea (from the author's experiments): every finger of the growth front leaves exactly one vein, so splitting and fusion of fingers alone produce a network of degree-3 nodes. Added from the literat...

What a language model does when you poke it: the clinical map of the Perturbational Complexity Index, pre-registered and reproduced in Pythia-410m

The Perturbational Complexity Index (PCI) decides whether a human is conscious without asking them: a brief transcranial pulse, and the EEG tells whether the response is long and complex (wakefulness) or short and simple (anaesthesia, deep sleep). This record applies the same logic to an open language model that nobody...

Experience is processing: a theory of consciousness in one axiom and five definitions, tested on model networks, a worm's wiring and a language model

"Consciousness" is a collective word. Process-Identity Theory (PIT, "Erleben = Verarbeitung") sets one axiom — experience is processing, the same thing under two names — and five definitions, and derives forty propositions from them. They separate four things that can be measured apart: whether a system experiences (ho...
