canonical 5D NeRF.

We observe that these NeRF-like deformation fields are prone to local minima, and

| 215 |

propose a coarse-to-fine optimization method for coordinate-based models that allows for

| 216 |
-
more robust optimization.

By adapting principles from geometry processing and physical simulation to NeRF-like

models, we propose an elastic regularization of the deformation field that further

improves robustness.

<div class="content has-text-justified">

<p>
|
| 128 |
+
The core of MPCA is the "Cognitive Mycelium," a graph-based knowledge structure. Unlike rigid, pre-trained models, the Mycelium is built from the ground up to understand the grammatical and conceptual relationships in language. It learns, forgets, and even "dreams" to form new connections, creating a resilient and emergent form of intelligence with a fraction of the computational overhead of conventional architectures.
|
|
|
|
| 129 |
</p>
|
| 130 |
+
<h2 class="title is-3" style="margin-top: 2rem;">Radical Efficiency: The Spore Advantage</h2>
|
| 131 |
+
<p>
|
| 132 |
+
A key breakthrough of the MPCA is its incredible efficiency. A fully-formed Cognitive Mycelium, built from a large dataset (~100k entries, >2.9M sentences), can be compressed into a <code>spore</code> file of only <strong>~9 MB</strong>. This stands in stark contrast to conventional AI models like Transformers (GPT-2 is ~500 MB; modern models are many gigabytes).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 133 |
</p>
|
| 134 |
<p>
|
| 135 |
+
This efficiency is a direct result of the architecture's design. Instead of storing billions of statistical weights to predict tokens, the Mycelium stores a compressed graph of concepts and their relationships. It captures knowledge, not just statistical patterns, leading to a powerful, lightweight, and truly novel form of intelligence.

<li><strong>Genesis (Building):</strong> The <code>Builder</code> creates a Mycelium from a data source, performing grammatical parsing to construct a graph of nodes and relationships, which is then saved as a <code>.spore</code> file.</li>
|

<li><strong>Awakening (Loading):</strong> The system loads a <code>.spore</code> file into memory, awakening the Cognitive Mycelium.</li>
|
| 175 |

<li><strong>Interaction (Solving):</strong> A user asks a question. The <code>Solver</code> takes the core concepts and finds a thought-path through the Mycelium to construct an answer.</li>
|

<li><strong>Evolution (Learning):</strong> Successful thought-paths are reinforced via Hebbian learning, strengthening the system's knowledge.</li>

<li><strong>Introspection (Dreaming):</strong> During downtime, the system can dream to form new, speculative connections, expanding its creative potential.</li>

The current architecture is a powerful foundation for understanding language. Its true potential lies in extending this conceptual graph to understand and generate other forms of data. The core principle is that MPCA acts as a <strong>central orchestrator</strong>, connecting its abstract conceptual understanding to specialized external models for processing and generation.

<h3 class="title is-4">Image Understanding and Generation</h3>
|
| 195 |
+
<div class="content has-text-justified">
|
| 196 |
+
<p><strong>Understanding:</strong> A Vision-Language Model (VLM) like CLIP analyzes an image and outputs concept tags (e.g., "a red car on a street"). The <code>Builder</code> integrates these concepts into the Mycelium, linking an <code>ImageNode</code> to existing nodes like <code>Node('car')</code> and <code>Node('red')</code>. The graph learns <em>what's in the image</em>, not the pixels themselves.</p>
|
| 197 |
+
<p><strong>Generation:</strong> The <code>Solver</code> assembles a conceptual blueprint (e.g., <code>Node('boat') → Node('blue') → Node('ocean')</code>). This blueprint is passed as a highly-structured prompt to an external image generation model (like a VAE or Diffusion model) to render the final image.</p>

A similar approach applies to audio and video. For audio, speech-to-text models provide text for integration, while event detection models can identify non-speech sounds ("dog barking"). For video, an analysis model tracks objects and actions over time, which the <code>Builder</code> represents as a complex, time-stamped sub-graph.

Actions are a native <code>Node</code> type in MPCA. To enable agency, these action nodes can be linked to real-world API calls or robotic functions. When the <code>Solver</code>'s thought-path traverses an <code>ActionNode</code> linked to an external function (e.g., <code>Node('turn_on_light')</code>), it triggers that function. This turns the MPCA from a passive knowledge base into an active agent that can perceive, reason about, and act upon its environment.
