Recursive Theory-of-Mind Dynamics in Symbolic Functional Consciousness: A Variational Framework and the Principle of Least Shannon–Neumann Action

2025-12-01

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>We introduce a formal framework for modeling recursive Theory--of--Mind ($TM$) dynamics inside the Symbolic Functional Consciousness ($SFC$) architecture, integrating hierarchical cognitive representation with goal--directed and insight--driven learning. Cognitive-affective states are factorized into four levels---L1 capacities, L2 mindsets, L3 core senses, and L4 global states of being...
