Intelligence as Representation Discovery: Ontologies, Semantics, and the Foundations of Adaptive Scientific Reasoning

Intelligence is framed not as optimization alone but as the search for increasingly useful representations of reality. Before learning can succeed, a system must discover appropriate state spaces, action semantics, evaluation criteria, and ontologies. This concept paper argues that prompts, benchmarks, world models, and ontologies are central substrates of intelligence, and introduces ASRA as a representation-first framework that infers semantic operators from observed transitions before constructing causal world models.

Architectures for Adaptive Scientific Reasoning Under Uncertainty

Scientific intelligence increasingly depends on systems that reason from interventions rather than merely fit observations. This review synthesizes conceptual foundations from model-based reinforcement learning, active inference, causal inference, information theory, and perturbation biology into a unified architecture-level view of adaptive scientific reasoning under uncertainty.
