How Minds Get Small: Cognitive Compression from Biology to SIML
Cognitive compression, predictive internal models, and the role of simulation in AI architecture.
Intelligence through compression
At CPOSC 2026, Richard presented a talk about how biological systems and emerging AI architectures condense experience into useful internal models. The conference preview connects cognitive compression with JEPA-style learning and simulation-grounded architectures.
The talk brings his public speaking into direct conversation with the SIML research program: what should an intelligent system retain, predict, and use when it acts?
