• Abstract: This paper introduces a formal framework for modeling observer-dependent collapse dynamics and temporal identity drift within artificial and mathematical systems, grounded entirely in the symbolic foundations of Alpay Algebra. Building upon the fixed-point emergence structures developed in Alpay Algebra I and II, this third installment formalizes the observer-coupled {\phi}-collapse process through transfinite categorical flows and curvature-driven identity operators. We define a novel temporal drift mechanism as a recursive deformation of identity signatures under entangled observer influence, constructing categorical invariants that evolve across fold iterations. The proposed system surpasses conventional identity modeling in explainable AI (XAI) by encoding internal transformation history into a symbolic fixed-point structure, offering provable traceability and temporal coherence. Applications range from AI self-awareness architectures to formal logic systems where identity is not static but dynamically induced by observation. The theoretical results also offer a mathematically rigorous basis for future AI systems with stable self-referential behavior, positioning Alpay Algebra as a next-generation symbolic framework bridging category theory, identity logic, and observer dynamics.

  This paper explores self-supervised disentangled representation learning within sequential data, focusing on separating time-independent and time-varying factors in videos. We propose a new model that breaks the usual independence assumption between those factors by explicitly accounting for the causal relationship between the static/dynamic variables. Experiments show that the proposed approach outperforms previous complex state-of-the-art techniques in scenarios where the dynamics of a scene are influenced by its content.

  We introduce a novel neural systems model that integrates attractor dynamics with symbolic representations to model cognitive processes akin to the probabilistic language of thought (PLoT) Our model segments the continuous representational space into discrete basins, with attractor states corresponding to symbolic sequences, that reflect the semanticity and compositionality characteristic of symbolic systems through unsupervised learning, rather than relying on pre-defined primitives. This approach establishes a unified framework that integrates both symbolic and sub-symbolic processing through neural dynamics, a neuroplausible substrate with proven expressivity in AI, offering a more comprehensive model that mirrors the complex duality of cognitive operations
