• From Detecting Agency to Doing Work: Self-Caused Credit Builds a Durable Behavioral Self in a Minimal Spiking Agent

  Haoliang Han · 30 de junio de 2026

  How does an agent that can tell self from world come to be durably shaped by that distinction? Recent work shows that a predictive system can detect its own agency (Ye, 2026), but detecting agency does not explain durable, self-shaped behavior. We show that agency-gated slow credit -- a conjunctive …

• DECK: A Consistency x Confidence Taxonomy of LLM Hallucinations

  Mohit Singh Chauhan · 2 de junio de 2026

  Existing hallucination taxonomies classify LLM errors by what is wrong with the output -- memorised misconceptions, reasoning failures, fluent fabrications. These taxonomies are useful for diagnosis but cannot answer a different question: which uncertainty scorer would have caught this error? We pro…

• Certified Causal Defense with Generalizable Robustness

  Yiran Qiao, Yu Yin, Chen Chen, Jing Ma · 29 de mayo de 2026

  While machine learning models have proven effective across various scenarios, it is widely acknowledged that many models are vulnerable to adversarial attacks. Recently, there have emerged numerous efforts in adversarial defense. Among them, certified defense is well known for its theoretical guaran…

• A Cellular Doctrine of Morality: Intrinsic Active Precision and the Mind-Reality Overload Dilemma

  Ahsan Adeel · 6 de mayo de 2026

  Current AI systems, grounded in oversimplified neuroscience, risk eroding the distinction between truth and falsehood. They maximize reward by amplifying attention to information without intrinsic precision mechanisms to assess whether it is valid or worth attending to. This increases both the volum…

• Interoceptive machine framework: Toward interoception-inspired regulatory architectures in artificial intelligence

  Diego Candia-Rivera (NERV) · 29 de abril de 2026

  This review proposes an integrative framework grounded on interoception and embodied AI-termed the interoceptive machine framework-that translates biologically inspired principles of internal-state regulation into computational architectures for adaptive autonomy. Interoception, conceived as the mon…
