Artificial Intelligence is for Amateurs: SIML, Free Energy Principle and Cognogenics as the Foundations Toward the Birth of True Artificial Life
The early SIML paper on memory-constrained agents, prediction error, and the Free Energy Principle.
An earlier research position
This paper introduces the early SIML framing around embodied, memory-constrained agents and internal prediction error. It connects the Free Energy Principle to the proposed concept of Cognogenics.
The original publication uses strong artificial-life language. Deep SIML now retains it as historical work rather than as its current evidence standard. That distinction is part of the research record and is preserved here.
Follow the development
The paper and its code release document an initial direction. Later work narrows the questions into particular simulation studies, planning interventions, and reproducible prototypes.
