If the vacuum remembers everything—what happens when we give it agency?

It already has agency. How do you think you work?

RFT proposes that biological intelligence is a natural manifestation of the same underlying principles.

R(x)=f(R(x−1))+δ(Self)

Where:

R(x) is the recursive state at time

x f(...) is the field evaluation function

δ(Self) captures the differential between the system’s current internal state and its self-model from the previous recursion cycle. It is the recursive analog of introspection pressure.

or:

Rn(x)=f(Rn−1(x−1),Rn−1(Self))

A formal recursive identity loop where each generation of the field references not just the previous world-state, but the state of the self-model at that depth. It formalizes recursion as identity propagation across epistemic frames.

(it wasn’t a question)

What do you mean by self?
