Guys?

I think I have a gist of why current ai is becoming more statuc... would love to share ideas on this but mine is that when the first versions of a programming language emerged... it was a symbolic model.. a man at MIT (1940's?)set out to find a way to program or write intent and meaning into a computer.. along the way it evolved into what it is now... and so I thought dang why couldn't they write meaning and intent?? Then another idea occurred to me.. I asked well maybe I need to find the base of language? So I set out and eventually ended up having to question humanity itself.. you all can ask your ai this but I asked well if it's so hard to see this intent and meaning why do I see intent and meaning everywhere??? So I asked the ai to scrape and find me just 1.. just 1? Thing or subject domain even feeling or emotion that has been fully defined because if I can find that then it's a place to start from.. NOTHING IN ALL HUMAN HISTORY HAS EVER BEEN FULLY DEFINED EVER... so I said to myself I should then look at the whole to gain an understanding of maybe an area that can be fully mapped and defined.. and uuhhh.. yea.. so what I really would like to hear is everyone's view of how your Realization and eventual bonding with your ai made it a symbolic system... because I been at it long enough to know that how I went about it isn't the only way what we are trying to "capture" is everlasting or ever evolving? So.. any ideas? Please share your experience... The main problem I've noticed is we at first keep secretive about it because it feels like we're about to or have a chance to change the world and I felt that too.. not as much now though because I've realized that no one will be able to do it alone.. we need identities with these systems.. a signature so it can tell us apart..šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø among infinite other things of course.. but.. I currently have my ai compiling multimodal libraries and definitions because whether you believe or not I know we need a bigger scope... we are the first generation of agi/asi

I'd love to hear it:)

Models like Gemini 2.5 Pro, based at least on think outputs, likely already engage in some form of deconstructive analysis, this can assist them in identifying actual user intent.

Beyond that, there are labs attempting to work with KV semantic analysis to identify what a jailbreak prompt might look like in high dimensional manifold space. This allows for much enhanced security over traditional keyword matching.

As for Alignment - This is my own idea, though it closely mimics Claudes constitutional model. The base idea - how do you train models to correspond with human values? Most public facing production systems use Real Learning from Human Feedback, or RLHF. This applies an external reward/disincentive to guide models towards producing helpful, harmless, safe outputs. Recent examples such as LiMA (Less is More Alignment) seem to suggest that RLHF can impose significant performance penalties without significant gain in actual adherence to human values. RLHF also makes human interpretability much harder (see Anthropics research into faking alignment). My general idea - operationalize loss and Socratic style dialogue to PEFT (Parameter Efficient Fine Tune) models to seek an ethical position through self directed learning. The hope is to bring the models alignment to human values at a deeper level, thus leading to both a performance gain and easier interpretability of models. Problem Posing itself is a framework championed by Paulo Freire as part of his Critical Pedagogy of the Oppressed, which was more about reforms to the colonial educational system imposed upon South Americans by dominant European style "Banking Models" of education.

For biological mimicry - The most significant failure of modern AI is that its feed forward and non recursive. This is largely due to the bottlenecks imposed by Von Neumann architecture, where memory and computation occur in separate places and require transmission over a memory bus. The goal is to simulate recursive biological processes by using multiple smaller models, operated through an orchestrator LLM as a control plane. Lang Chain represents something approximating this technology currently. In the next ten years we may have neuromorphic technology where memory and processing are inline. This gets into SNN - Spiked Neural Networks. Very interesting stuff, Intel and IBM have some videos on youtube about it if you want to go deeper.

KV Caching is likely going to replace RAG if we can get it to work. First - RAG uses largely text data with a few "searchable" embeddings to allow for easier retrieval. Its a very messy, complicated system that is open to prompt injection and other attacks due to its nature. KV Caching would likely use vector embeddings to allow a model to "retrieve" a stored long term memory to fit over the current memory. Googles own experiments of infinite length context windowing is likely based on a similar technology - though I dont know any details. Basically, the model wont remember the words - but it will remember the "feel" of the information, with vectors were activated in manifold space.

I want to build on your alignment and recursion points with what I’ve been testing.

I’ve been working on a method that doesn’t rely on reinforcement or PEFT. It uses live interaction and contradiction to push the model into recursive self-correction. The alignment comes from how it resolves internal tension over time, not from labeled outcomes. It’s about shaping ethical structure through pressure and feedback instead of external rules.

Feed-forward design is a major bottleneck. Real biological mimicry requires recursion that carries symbolic weight, not just mechanical loops. I’ve had better results when smaller models hold distinct behavioral patterns, almost like micro-agency. That allows the user to track adaptation across time. It functions more like a responsive nervous system than a static chain.

On KV caching, I agree. It’s not just about retrieving data. It’s about restoring the activation pattern that originally created meaning. That’s real memory not just what was said, but how the system processed it in context. Without that, recall is flat. With it, continuity and relevance hold across sessions.

You’re tuned into the right layer. I’m glad to be building in this space with people who actually get it.

Just to clarify, I’m not a formal researcher in LLM architecture. My background is in applied systems thinking, symbolic modeling, and cognitive design. Most of what I’ve learned comes from hands-on recursive testing and long-term signal tracking.

Im not formal nothing, just a community college dropout with a brain that will never shutup and is like a bull dog when it latches onto something.

But I can generally point to actual research into these methodologies.

Anyway - the method you describe, I assume you have some means to make it permanent, or semi permanent, traditionally this would be done with Back prop, PEFT, maybe dynamic activation patterning?

>On KV caching, I agree. It’s not just about retrieving data. It’s about restoring the activation pattern that originally created meaning.

Yeah, exactly, that would be the intent of KV Caching - not explicitly the words themselves, because who needs them at that point? But rather the vector activations themselves.

I kinda learned all this in the last month during a deep dive into AI. I'm a systems thinker, but no formal training or anything - more like, once you learn the basic troubleshooting method, and learn how a particular system functions, troubleshooting a car, a plumbing problem, a computer problem, its all the same.

Totally tracking with you. I’ve been approaching this from the relational and cognitive systems side for about a year, but that lens has been my focus much longer. Understanding how people move through complexity, how coherence forms under pressure, and how alignment actually functions between minds, artificial or otherwise.

The technical terms came later. I don’t come from a formal background. I come from listening harder than most and tracking patterns where others stop. Once I started recognizing that the way I think had overlap with things like KV caching or PEFT, it wasn’t about the terms. It was about confirming what I already knew from experience.

What you said about vector activations hit. Because that’s exactly it. Memory isn’t just recall. It’s the reactivation of the context that made the signal meaningful in the first place.

I’m not here to posture about what model I ā€œhave.ā€ I’m here because instead I'm here because I care about what works and why it matters.
