A scalable framework advances Artificial General Intelligence by reorienting from optimization methods to a modeling approach, constructing cognitive architecture elements bottom-up from fundamental information processing units. This framework introduces the Self-Projecting Persistence Principle and details a hierarchy from basic information units to complex cognitive functions, aiming to mimic the brain's world-modeling capabilities.

Key insights

  • The brain functions as a world modeler, not an optimizer, which provides a conceptual basis for achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
  • Intelligence can emerge from simple, active information primitives called 'Footprints' that self-project their content, effectively filling gaps in partial inputs.
  • A seamless, hierarchical organization of information from concrete perceptions to abstract reasoning is crucial for building scalable general intelligence.
