Figure 1 I just ran into this area while trying to invent something similar myself, only to find I’m years too late. It’s an interesting analysis suited to relaxed or approximated causal modelling of causal interventions. It seems to formalise coarse-graining for causal models. We suspect that the notorious causal inference in LLMs might be built out of such things or understood in terms of them. 1 Causality in hierarchical systems A. Geiger, Ibeling, et al. (2024) seems to summarise SOT...| The Dan MacKinlay stable of variably-well-consider’d enterprises

On candy stripe legs the Spiderman comes, softly through the shadow of the evening sun (Lullaby, The Cure) Cellular automata are an inmense source of artistical images. Today, I experimented with Cyclic automata, which are ruled with these simple rules: Create a grid of cells. Give a state to each cell randomly; states a numbers … Continue reading Neighborhoods: Experimenting with Cyclic Cellular Automata→ The post Neighborhoods: Experimenting with Cyclic Cellular Automata first appeared ...| Fronkonstin
When I was a kid / teenager I wanted to play the guitar. Like many people that age. Got myself a guitar and everything but never really practiced at all in any meaningful way. I didn’t so much want to play the guitar but I wanted the reward I associated with the output, the cultural […]| Smashing Frames
