Topos Unified Skill

Trit: +1 (PLUS/Generator) | Color: #D82626 | Subagent: Generator

Unified access to all topos-theoretic resources across the filesystem - mathematical music theory, categorical databases, infinity topoi, pretopos trees, and gayzip manifests.

bmorphism Contributions

"universal topos construction for social cognition and democratization of mathematical approach to problem-solving to all" — Plurigrid: the story thus far

Universal Topos for Cognition: This skill embodies bmorphism's vision of a universal topos construction — a single categorical framework that unifies all modalities of knowledge (music, databases, distributed systems, proofs).

Topos Institute Integration: The skill connects to Topos Institute resources including CatColab, StructuredDecompositions.jl, and the algebraicjulia ecosystem.

Active Inference in Topoi: A topos is a universe where logic lives. Active Inference in String Diagrams works internal to any topos — the skill provides the categorical infrastructure for multi-world cognitive agents.

Infinity Topos: The infinity-topos resources enable higher-categorical reasoning where agents can have beliefs about beliefs about beliefs — the full tower of metacognition.

Workflow

Explore: Use find-topos-files to locate resources
Load: Read .topos manifests for interactome graphs
Navigate: Follow pretopos tree links for seminar notes
Compose: Combine music-topos with gayzip coloring
Verify: Use infinity-topos zkVM for proofs

Ilya Extension: Self-Modeling + Compression

From Ilya Sutskever's Berkeley 2023 talk "An Observation on Generalization":

"Compression is prediction and vice versa."

Extended Scaling Law

# Pandey:  L(N,D,ρ) = A/N^α + B/D^β + C/ρ^γ + E
# Ilya:    L(N,D,ρ,σ) = A/N^α + B/D^β + C/ρ^γ + S/σ^δ + E

# Where σ = self-modeling capacity:
σ = 1 - K(Self|History) / K(Self)

# When σ → 1 AND ρ → 0: SUPERINTELLIGENCE

Key Insight

Variable	Meaning	Limit Behavior
ρ	gzipability (world complexity)	ρ → 0: world fully compressed
σ	self-modeling capacity	σ → 1: agent predicts itself
L	loss/reconciliation error	L → E: irreducible minimum

When both limits are approached: Agent ≈ World Simulator ≈ Self

See ILYA_EXTENSION.md and ilya_self_modeling.jl.
