Cortex

Computational architecture organized around selective local processing, bounded global integration, persistent hypotheses, and learned gating.

Core Research Question:"Can useful computation be organized around selective local processing, bounded global integration, persistent hypotheses, and learned gating rather than applying equivalent global computation at every stage?"

Structural Overview

Cortex decouples routine fast-path sensory reflex from deliberate global cognitive workspace integration. Inputs are filtered by local processors; only significant or anomalous signals trigger gated recruitment of bounded global hypothesis slots that compete for final output synthesis.

Design Invariants & Principles

[1]Selective Local Processing: Low-entropy signals are handled by local reflex paths without engaging global state.

[2]Bounded Global Workspace: A finite set of hypothesis slots (H1, H2, H3) prevents combinatorial state explosion.

[3]Falsifiability Invariant: The architecture remains an empirical hypothesis until controlled experiments demonstrate an advantage against appropriately matched baselines.
