Body-Grounded Perspective Formation and Conative Attunement in Artificial Agents
The paper discusses a new architecture for body-grounded perspective formation in artificial agents. It introduces mechanisms for linking bodily tendencies to action readiness and demonstrates how these can lead to stable body-directed behavior. The study aims to operationalize minimal structural conditions for artificial subjectivity through embodied organization.
- ▪The proposed model includes an interoceptive viability signal and a Fisher-style metric over fused states.
- ▪Conation is shown to convert learned bodily tendencies into stable behaviors in a reward-free environment.
- ▪The research highlights how bodily perturbations can influence an agent's perspective in a recoverable manner.
