Post-AGI Economies: Superposition and the Second Fundamental Theorem of Welfare Economics
Elija Perrier
The classical Second Welfare Theorem decentralizes any Pareto efficient allocation through prices and transfers under convexity and regularity. In post AGI economies, autonomy righ…
Watts-per-Intelligence Part II: Algorithmic Catalysis
Elija Perrier
We develop a thermodynamic theory of algorithmic catalysis within the watts per intelligence framework, identifying reusable computational structures that reduce irreversible opera…
Deconstructing Superintelligence: Identity, Self-Modification and Différance
Elija Perrier
Self-modification is routinely treated as constitutive of artificial superintelligence (\textbf{SI}), yet modification is a relative action requiring a \emph{supplement} outside th…
Post-AGI Economies: Autonomy and the First Fundamental Theorem of Welfare Economics
Elija Perrier
The First Fundamental Theorem of Welfare Economics assumes that welfare-bearing agents are autonomous and implicitly relies on a binary distinction between autonomy and instrumenta…

Elija Perrier, Michael Timothy Bennett
Machine consciousness evaluations mostly see behavior. For language model agents that behavior is language and tool use. That lets an agent say the right things about itself even w…
The Role of Risk Modeling in Advanced AI Risk Management
Chloé Touzet, Henry Papadatos, Malcolm Murray +6
Rapidly advancing artificial intelligence (AI) systems introduce novel, uncertain, and potentially catastrophic risks. Managing these risks requires a mature risk-management infras…
