## 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?
