The Homological Brain: Parity Principle and Amortized Inference
Xin Li
Biological intelligence emerges from substrates that are slow, noisy, and energetically constrained, yet it performs rapid and coherent inference in open-ended environments. Classi…
The Geometry of Certainty: Recursive Topological Condensation and the Limits of Inference
Xin Li
Computation fundamentally separates time from space: nondeterministic search is exponential in time but polynomially simulable in space (Savitch's Theorem). We propose that the bra…
What should we forget? A computational model of memory consolidation
Xin Li
Neural and immune memory rely on different biological mechanisms but face the same computational problem: future situations rarely repeat past ones exactly. Memory must retain dist…
Bayesian Theory of Consciousness as Exchangeable Emotion-Cognition Inference
Xin Li
This paper proposes a unified framework in which consciousness emerges as a cycle-consistent, affectively anchored inference process, recursively structured by the interaction of e…
Inverted Inference and Recursive Bootstrapping: A Primal-Dual Theory of Structured Cognition
Xin Li
This paper introduces a unifying framework that links the Context-Content Uncertainty Principle (CCUP) with optimal transport (OT) via primal-dual inference. We propose that cognit…
On the Arrow of Inference
Xin Li
Just as the arrow of time structures physics, the arrow of inference organizes cognition, directing the flow of information in perception, action, and memory. The Context-Content U…
