A Cellular Doctrine of Morality: Intrinsic Active Precision and the Mind-Reality Overload Dilemma
Ahsan Adeel
Current AI systems, grounded in oversimplified neuroscience, risk eroding the distinction between truth and falsehood. They maximize reward by amplifying attention to information w…
Scalable Machines with Intrinsic Higher Mental-State Dynamics
Ahsan Adeel, M. Bilal
Drawing on recent breakthroughs in cellular neurobiology and detailed biophysical modeling linking neocortical pyramidal neurons to distinct mental-state regimes, this work introdu…
Single layer tiny Co outpaces GPT-2 and GPT-BERT
Noor Ul Zain, Mohsin Raza, Ahsan Adeel
We show that a tiny Co machine(Adeel,2025) with a single layer, two heads, and 8M parameters, operating at an approximate cost of (where is the number of input token…
Context-sensitive neocortical neurons transform the effectiveness and efficiency of neural information processing
Khubaib Ahmed, Ahsan Adeel, Mario Franco +1
Deep learning (DL) has big-data processing capabilities that are as good, or even better, than those of humans in many real-world domains, but at the cost of high energy requiremen…
Beyond Attention: Toward Machines with Intrinsic Higher Mental States
Ahsan Adeel
Attending to what is relevant is fundamental to both the mammalian brain and modern machine learning models such as Transformers. Yet, determining relevance remains a core challeng…
Cooperation Is All You Need
Ahsan Adeel, Junaid Muzaffar, Fahad Zia +5
Going beyond 'dendritic democracy', we introduce a 'democracy of local processors', termed Cooperator. Here we compare their capabilities when used in permutation invariant neural…
