Iirc, he was aiming for locality and introduced the hidden variable. Which is different to what Richard Fenyman says that there simple isn’t the information available in the quantum component (aka the “wave”) to know where it will collapse into physical reality (aka be seen as a particle).

\n

Which Wolfram touches on with Computational Irreduciblity. Which I’m now seeing as a component of Time (probably Space-Time) is needed that we do not have the mathematics for.

\n

As such we simply have to weight to see the results of the interactions, rather than having the information in advance to put into an equation.

@thompsonson Is there something about the entropy of the next token probability distribution (need to find the paper that shows “reasoning tokens” - like however or therefore - have a high entropy).

\n

What is the entropy at each token in SLMs and LLMs compared to the r_c and r_o values… 🤔

@thompsonson “thinking” in the context of LLM’s is simple the LLM creating more context from it’s own model.

\n

It is not reasoning, it is linking more information of its own internal information source.

\n

Training a model on Chain-of-Thought is a way to train it to collect more relevant data.

@thompsonson Potential updated version to include Acceptance Criteria:

\n

Agent Design Process

\n

Environment Analysis

\n

Environment Specification: Specify the task environment using the PEAS framework (Performance measure, Environment, Actuators, Sensors)
\nEnvironment Analysis: Determine the properties of the Task Environment (observable, deterministic, static, discrete, single/multi-agent)

\n

Architecture Selection

\n

Agent Function: Define the ideal behaviour - what the agent ought to do - in abstract terms (mathematical mapping from percept sequences to actions)
\nAgent Type Selection: Choose appropriate agent architecture (simple reflex, model-based, etc.) capable of implementing the agent function
\nAcceptance Criteria (ATDD): Define testable observable behaviors using Given-When-Then format based on agent function and type constraints

\n

Implementation Considerations

\n

Agent Program: Implement the chosen architecture within physical constraints (compute availability, performance vs cost, etc.)

@thompsonson I’m half way through my coursework and refining my view of this

\n

Today (12th May) I now think

\n

Sensors

\n\n

Actuators

\n\n

Environment

\n\n

Performance Measures

\n\n

Sensors and Actuators feel better sperated… still missing something - maybe the Agent Function/Program (which I may be trying to cram some of it into this part)
