• Title: Algorithmic Idealism II: Reassessment of Competing Theories
• Authors: Krzysztof Sienicki,
• Abstract summary: This paper explores the intersection of identity, individuality, and reality through competing frameworks. Traditional metaphysical notions of fixed identity are challenged by advancements in cloning, teletransportation, and digital replication. Computational approaches, such as the Ruliad and Constructor Theory, offer expansive views of emergent realities but often lack practical constraints for observer relevance. Algorithm idealism is introduced as a unifying framework, proposing that reality is an emergent construct governed by computational rules.

• Abstract: This paper explores the intersection of identity, individuality, and reality through competing frameworks, including classical metaphysics, quantum mechanics, and computational theories. Traditional metaphysical notions of fixed identity are challenged by advancements in cloning, teletransportation, and digital replication, which reveal the fluid and relational nature of individuality. Quantum mechanics further complicates these notions, emphasizing the indistinguishability and contextuality of fundamental particles. Computational approaches, such as the Ruliad and Constructor Theory, offer expansive views of emergent realities but often lack practical constraints for observer relevance. Algorithmic idealism is introduced as a unifying framework, proposing that reality is an emergent construct governed by computational rules prioritizing coherence, sufficiency, and observer-dependent experiences. By redefining identity as an informational construct and reality as a process shaped by algorithmic transitions, algorithmic idealism resolves foundational paradoxes and offers a superior lens for understanding existence in an increasingly digital and interconnected world. The framework bridges gaps between competing theories, providing a coherent and pragmatic model for addressing ethical, metaphysical, and technological challenges.

• Provable Compositional Generalization for Object-Centric Learning [55.658215686626484]
  Learning representations that generalize to novel compositions of known concepts is crucial for bridging the gap between human and machine perception. We show that autoencoders that satisfy structural assumptions on the decoder and enforce encoder-decoder consistency will learn object-centric representations that provably generalize compositionally.

  We revisit the classic signal-to-symbol barrier in light of the remarkable ability of deep neural networks to generate synthetic data. We characterize physical objects as abstract concepts and use the previous analysis to show that physical objects can be encoded by finite architectures. We conclude that binding physical entities to digital identities is possible in finite time with finite resources.

  This paper presents a novel mathematical framework for bridging the explanatory gap between consciousness and its physical correlates. We do not claim that qualia are singularities or that singularities "explain" why qualia feel as they do. We establish a framework that recognizes qualia as phenomena inherently beyond reduction to complexity, computation, or information.
