Our integrated brain model, called the Xzistor Mathematical Model of Mind, allows us to build machines with intelligence and emotions.

Very pleased to offer this simple explanation of how the Xzistor Mathematical Model of Mind provides robots with subjective ‘body-felt’ emotions that are principally no different from human emotions (@Mark_Solms mentioned). @PRISM_Machines youtu.be/2IbbuiXAtFs

Nice correspondence here with the recursive logic loop frequency supporting cognition in Xzistor robots. This will make more sense soon.

19-45 Hz rhythm in the central thalamus looks like a signature of “conscious-like” brain states (awake and dreaming) as opposed to unconscious ones. Thalamic oscillations distinguish natural states of consciousness in humans nature.com/articles/s41562-0… #neuroscience

Thalamic oscillations distinguish natural states of consciousness in humans

Nature Human Behaviour - Chowdhury et al. report the discovery of a 19–45-Hz thalamic oscillation that is present during human wakefulness and REM sleep, but not NREM sleep.

Difficult perceptual discriminations induce an amnesic shadow, effectively suppressing episodic memory content to sustain external focus. This suggests that maintaining attention on the world requires actively inhibiting the replay mechanisms that generate internal thought. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

I am most interested in the scientific and computational principles behind our neural systems, especially the brain. I also believe, a systematic and rigorous scientific, mathematical, and computational theory of our neural systems (intelligence and consciousness) is the final frontier of Science.

The brain does not operate as a stable hierarchy where cortical systems govern subcortical mechanisms, but as a heterarchy where control shifts dynamically between structures like the thalamus and prefrontal cortex depending on the specific task phase. Local asymmetries of influence remain real, yet because neural elements constrain one another across concurrent processes, these relations form cycles that resist any single, fixed ranking. arxiv.org/abs/2610.04643

Incredible breakthrough in robotic intelligence! @Figure_robot may have developed a baby RGI (robotic general intelligence) or at least show that scaling also works for generalizing physical intelligence-like LLMs. The path to full RGI is now open & just a matter of massive data!
