Abstract

This paper introduces a novel approach to neural network design termed Adaptive Neuron Topology Optimization. The core concept revolves around dynamically adjusting the connectivity topology of a neural network based on real-time monitoring of neuron activity. Traditional neural network topology is static, often hindering optimal performance. This work proposes a system leveraging reinforcement learning to optimize the network's topology. Specifically, a reinforcement learning algorithm is employed to modify both connection weights and the connections themselves between neurons, creating a self-adapting topology. The system aims to improve learning efficiency and generalization capabilities by allowing the network to evolve its structure based on the data it is processing. The key innovation lies in the dynamic, data-driven adaptation of the network topology, moving away from pre-defined static architectures. The system's effectiveness is demonstrated through a theoretical framework outlining the core mechanisms and potential benefits.

DIArc Foundational Note v0.1 — Minimum Claim Edition

Abstract The rapid development of artificial intelligence has significantly increased the availability of information, analytical capability, and machine-assisted reasoning. However, greater access to information does not necessarily produce better decisions. In many organizational contexts, the emerging bottleneck is no longer information acquisition, but the human and organizational capacity to determine what information is sufficient, when analysis should stop, when a decision should be made, and how outcomes should improve future judgment. This Foundational Note introduces Decision Intelligence Architecture (DIArc) as an architectural framework for Human–AI collaborative decision systems. DIArc is based on a central proposition: in the AI era, competitive advantage increasingly depends not on maximizing information, but on maximizing the rate at which high-quality decisions generate learning and improve judgment, under explicit constraints on information consumption and decision cycles. The architecture is organized into four theoretical layers. First, the Capability Inversion Hypothesis describes a structural shift in which information, knowledge, and analysis become increasingly abundant while judgment, commitment, execution, and learning become comparatively scarce capabilities. Second, Identity-driven Information Consumption (IDIC) describes a decision failure mechanism in which continued information consumption may serve identity reinforcement rather than decision improvement. Third, the Decision Constraint Architecture, comprising Decision Information Budget (DIB) and Decision Cycle Budget (DCB), introduces explicit constraints on information consumption and analytical iteration. Fourth, High-quality Decision Velocity (HQDV) describes the performance objective of accelerating completed high-quality decision loops, while Judgment Evolution Rate (JER) represents the longer-term evolutionary objective of improving judgment through outcome-based learning. This note constitutes the initial public disclosure of the DIArc architecture and establishes its theoretical baseline for subsequent research and branch concepts.
