Abstractions & Latents

Abstractions & Latents

Mediation, redundancy, natural latents, and condensation — how observers of the same world are forced onto the same abstractions, and why that guarantees translation between human values and an AI's.

Agent Foundations

Agent Foundations

Logical uncertainty and self-reference, coherence and consequentialism, and descriptive agent foundations — from Löb's theorem to embedded agency.

Participant guide Exercises
