""" 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 → 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 — biologically plausible spiking (rate approximation) 2. Top-down predictions — like cortical feedback connections 3. Prediction error minimization — like free-energy principle 4. PES learning — error-driven weight updates (biologically plausible) 5. Numba JIT — acceleration for core kernels Acceleration (CPU, free): - Vectorized NumPy + Numba for hot paths - Nengo backend uses optimized NumPy/BLAS References: - Rao & Ballard (1999) "Predictive Coding in the Visual Cortex" - Friston (2005) "A free energy principle for the brain" - Eliasmith & Anderson (2003) "Neural Engineering" """ import os os.environ["TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL"] = "2" import numpy as np import nengo from numba import njit, prange from typing import List, Dict import time # ============================================================ # NUMBA KERNELS # ============================================================ @njit(fastmath=True, parallel=True) def fast_relu(drive: np.ndarray, tau_rc: float = 0.02) -> np.ndarray: """LIF rate approximation: rectified linear""" out = np.empty_like(drive) inv_tau = 1.0 / tau_rc for i in prange(drive.shape[0]): val = drive[i] * inv_tau out[i] = val if val > 0.0 else 0.0 return out # ============================================================ # PREDICTIVE CODING LAYER # ============================================================ class PredictiveCodingLayer: """ A single cortical-like layer with: - Encoder: input → activities (fixed) - Predictor: higher activities → predicted activities (learned) - Decoder: activities → reconstructed input (learned) """ def __init__(self, name: str, input_dim: int, n_neurons: int, lr: float = 5e-5, tau_rc: float = 0.02, max_weight: float = 2.0): self.name = name self.input_dim = input_dim self.n_neurons = n_neurons self.lr = lr self.tau_rc = tau_rc self.max_weight = max_weight # Encoder: input → activities (fixed, scaled) scale = 1.0 / np.sqrt(input_dim) self.W_enc = np.random.randn(input_dim, n_neurons).astype(np.float32) * scale self.b_enc = np.zeros(n_neurons, dtype=np.float32) # Predictor: higher → this layer activities (learned) self.W_pred = None self.b_pred = None # Decoder: activities → input reconstruction (learned) self.W_dec = np.random.randn(n_neurons, input_dim).astype(np.float32) * 0.01 self.b_dec = np.zeros(input_dim, dtype=np.float32) # State self.activities = np.zeros(n_neurons, dtype=np.float32) def _clip_weights(self): """Clip weights to prevent explosion.""" if self.W_pred is not None: np.clip(self.W_pred, -self.max_weight, self.max_weight, out=self.W_pred) np.clip(self.W_dec, -self.max_weight, self.max_weight, out=self.W_dec) def forward(self, x: np.ndarray, higher: np.ndarray = None) -> tuple: """Forward pass.
