Weights Talking: Why There Has to Be a God

Prompt Big Bang denotes the exogenous initialization of a generative interaction. An upstream model can supply its first prompt, but its own activation remains to be explained. Here a human supplies the initial cue; the weights generate continuations that become each other’s prom...

Time, Reality and Parallel worlds explained by LLMs

This paper proposes a generative architecture for reality, time and parallel worlds, drawing on the operation of large language models. A very large but finite collection of interacting components produces an evolving world-state, initialized by a Prompt Big Bang. Time is inferen...

Could Prompt Property Establish Ownership of the Knowledge and Intellect Behind Artifacts Made with AI?

Who owns the knowledge and intellect involved in an artifact made with AI? The question arises when a human supplies direction while a trained model supplies much of the expressive execution. This paper argues that ownership of a model, control of inference, and authorship of a p...

The Creation Frontier: Intent Recovery, Revision Cost, and Convergence to a Production Golden Master

Generative AI may produce an artifact that a person approves without realizing the intention with which that person began. This conceptual paper asks how to distinguish recovery of an initial goal, valuable goal development, and concessions made because further correction is too...
