Artificial Birth & Initial Conditions
Theoretical Summary
Establishing the initial computational learner: bounded capabilities, sensorimotor primitives, and explicit developmental starting priors without fabricated adult knowledge.
Primary Hypothesis
“An artificial learner initialized with minimal inductive biases and self-supervised sensory priors can establish stable perceptual anchors without pre-baked linguistic ontologies.”
Open Research Questions
- What minimal architecture provides sufficient plasticity without immediate representational collapse?
- How should initial perceptual coordinate frames be established without ground-truth labels?
Planned Experimental Protocol
Simulation baseline comparing random weight initialization against basic foveated sensorimotor autoencoding in a controlled continuous 3D sensory environment.
Known Methodological Limitations
Limited to virtual physics simulation; hardware noise and thermal variance are not modeled at this stage.
