The development of the Polarity Modeling Framework (PMF) has reached a major milestone with the completion of nine foundational concept papers:
- Paper 1 — Introduction
Establishes the need for a unified structural modeling framework and introduces PMF as a solution to fragmentation across domains. - Paper 2 — Knowledge, Context, Regions, Process
Defines how experience is structured through context, regions, and processes as organized configurations of relations. - Paper 3 — Transformation (Foundations)
Introduces transformation as a core concept linking structural configurations without assuming time or process. - Paper 4 — Systems of Worlds
Demonstrates that modeling Mind requires multiple Worlds, each organized around a single polarity axis. - Paper 5 — Regulation
Establishes regulation as the structural constraint necessary for maintaining coherence within and across Worlds. - Paper 6 — Latitude
Defines directional alignment within a World, providing structure for ordered positioning along a polarity axis. - Paper 7 — Longitude
Defines differentiation within a World, enabling variation without introducing ordering. - Paper 8 — Level
Introduces compositional structure as a non-temporal, non-ordered dimension based on prime decomposition. - Paper 9 — Transformation, Movement, and Time
Extends transformation into sequences and composition, showing how temporal interpretation emerges from ordered relations.
A Four-Step Plan
Step 1 — PMF Concept Papers (2Q26)
The PMF concept series defines the structural basis for modeling Mind and intelligent systems.
Deliverables:
- Papers 1–9 (draft complete)
- Section-by-section refinement
- Alignment for cross-disciplinary review (cognitive science, AI, systems)
Current Focus:
- Polishing clarity and consistency
- Incorporating feedback from early reviewers
Step 2 — SGI: PMF – OAII Package (3Q26)
The next step is to express PMF as a structured, interoperable model within the OAII framework.
This includes mapping PMF constructs to OAII entities such as:
- Events (transformations)
- Knowledge (structured relations)
- Policy (regulation)
- Logs (traceable system memory)
Deliverables:
- SGI reference model (PMF-aligned)
- Formal schema (JSON / ASN.1)
- Architectural mapping to OAII base model
Step 3 — Minimum Viable Model (4Q26)
A practical implementation will demonstrate how PMF-based intelligence operates in real-world scenarios.
The initial focus is on edge-based event recognition for Aging-in-Place (AiP):
- Sensor-driven event detection
- Local (edge) processing
- Transparent, inspectable behavior
- Privacy-first architecture
Deliverables:
- Working prototype model (Raspberry Pi-based)
- Sensor → Signal → Event pipeline
- Knowledge and logging structures
Step 4 — Outreach and Collaboration (Active and ongoing)
With the conceptual foundation in place, outreach is now a primary focus.
The goal is to engage researchers and practitioners across:
- Cognitive Science
- AI / Machine Learning
- Systems and Dynamical Modeling
Initial outreach has begun with targeted invitations for review and collaboration.
Deliverables:
- Research discussions and feedback
- Cross-disciplinary validation
- Potential collaboration pathways
Current Focus
At this stage, the emphasis is shifting from development to engagement:
- Refining Papers 1–9
- Expanding outreach
- Incorporating expert feedback
- Building collaborative momentum
