Research Foundation

Key papers and theories informing ELO-AGI's architecture.

Global Workspace Theory (Baars, 1988)

Foundation for the attention-gated broadcasting mechanism. Modules compete for access to the global workspace; winners broadcast their content to all other modules simultaneously.

Free Energy Principle (Friston, 2006)

Core inference mechanism. The system minimizes free energy through hierarchical prediction and prediction error propagation, implementing variational Bayesian inference.

Dual-Process Theory (Kahneman, 2011)

System 1 (fast, intuitive) and System 2 (slow, analytical) reasoning pathways. Override detection triggers deliberate reasoning when intuitive confidence is low.

Active Inference (Friston et al., 2017)

Extends the Free Energy Principle to action selection. The system selects actions that are expected to minimize future prediction error, unifying perception, learning, and decision-making.

Somatic Marker Hypothesis (Damasio, 1994)

Emotional signals from body states influence decision-making. The Emotion module generates somatic markers that bias value computation in the Decision Making module.

Agentic AI Survey (arxiv:2510.25445, 2025)

Survey of agentic AI capabilities informing the multi-agent coordination and self-improvement modules.

ARC Prize 2025 Technical Report (arxiv:2601.10904)

Compositional generalization benchmark informing the Compositional Abstraction module design and evaluation methodology.
