| Brain-like Predictive Coding Code World Model |
| ============================================= |
| |
| A hierarchical predictive coding network built with Nengo + Numba. |
| |
| Architecture (inspired by cortical hierarchy): |
| - L1 (V1-like): Code token embeddings β LIF-rate neurons |
| - L2 (IT-like): Hidden associative representations |
| - L3 (PFC-like): Higher-level context / sequence memory |
| |
| Key brain-like features: |
| 1. LIF-rate neurons β biologically plausible spiking (rate approximation) |
| 2. Top-down predictions β like cortical feedback connections |
| 3. Prediction error minimization β like free-energy principle |
| 4. PES learning β error-driven weight updates (biologically plausible) |
| 5. Numba JIT β acceleration for core kernels |
| |
| Acceleration (CPU, free): |
| - Vectorized NumPy + Numba for hot paths |
| - Nengo backend uses optimized NumPy/BLAS |
