<ul data-eligibleForWebStory="true">Az Symmetry Filtering is a cognitive architecture focused on self-regulating intelligence.The framework aims for a balance between grounding and abstraction in cognition.It incorporates a layered design inspired by symmetry, energy efficiency, and self-correction.The 'Az' point represents the balance between empirical sensory input and high-level reasoning.The architecture consists of three key layers: Symmetry Filtering, Curved Cognitive Dynamics, and Meta-Cognitive Monitoring.Symmetry Filtering removes noise and distraction, allowing meaningful data to pass through.Curved Cognitive Dynamics help maintain stable memory states and provide recovery mechanisms.Meta-Cognitive Monitoring tracks confidence, logic consistency, and alignment for self-assessment.Core principles include valuing symmetry in knowledge, curved thought dynamics, humility, gatekeeping, and guided cognitive effort.Potential use cases include robotics, cognitive assistants, explainable AI, and generative models.The creator plans to open-source parts of the architecture and is seeking collaborators for further development.
