Enactive Drift Regulation and the Emergence Machine: A Framework for Coherent Adaptation Through Regulated Interaction
Nicholas Davis
Adaptive systems increasingly operate in environments characterized by persistent non-stationarity, where patterns reorganize rather than merely vary. While existing approaches suc…
The Cognitive Trajectory Laboratory: Modeling the Creative Process Through Time in Art Therapy
Nicholas Davis
Art therapy has demonstrated effectiveness across diverse clinical populations, and its theoretical traditions have generated valuable perspectives on symbolism, expression, narrat…
Cognitive Trajectory Modeling: Quantifying Human-AI Co-Creation through Cognitively Grounded Interaction Trajectories
Nicholas Davis
Co-creative AI research increasingly seeks methods capable of representing how interaction dynamics evolve through time. While many existing approaches focus on observable interact…
Interaction-Centered Intelligence: Toward an Interaction-Based Theory of Human-AI Co-Creation
Nicholas Davis
Traditional artificial intelligence has largely conceptualized intelligence as isolated computation occurring within bounded agents. Across classical AI, machine learning, and many…
AI Drawing Partner: Co-Creative Drawing Agent and Research Platform to Model Co-Creation
Nicholas Davis, Janet Rafner
This paper describes the AI Drawing Partner, which is a co-creative drawing agent that also serves as a research platform to model co-creation. The AI Drawing Partner is an early e…
