FractalIntelligence
Expansion of cognitive capability through recursive decomposition of concepts into contract-bounded sub-concepts
Definition
Mechanism
Expansion of cognitive capability through SolverDecomposition: a concept (problem or task) is broken into contract-bound sub-concepts, each governed by the same five-surface Solver Contract (Manifest, Execute, Consult, Verify, Feedback) that governs the parent. A few Agents can assign solver roles to themselves and perform lightweight fractal intelligence for a specific problem — the resulting structure may persist as a reusable pattern that improves through use, or may be torn down at completion; both are legitimate modes. The unified System of scalable cognition uses Reason to orchestrate fractal expansion within the UniversalSolverTree. A ProblemFramer initiates by formulating a high-level Strategy before assigning a PolymorphicSolver to a Task; the solver executes a RecursionDive to spawn child nodes, each applying Specialize with LocalizedLearning, while ExperienceSharding and Synthesis preserve global coherence. StateSnapshot provides crash recovery for persistent instances. MarginalValueRule governs recursion depth. On failure, Reframe restructures the tree.
Invariants
- Fractal Self-Similarity: The process at the Root is identical to the process at the Leaf.
- Bounded Expansion: Recursion is limited by Economic constraints (Marginal Value).
- Memory Conservation: Specialization must not result in the loss of global context.
