Neural wiring diagrams for message passing in multiscale organizations – Topos Institute
In our recent paper, “Dynamic task delegation for hierarchical agents”, Sophie Libkind and I described a task delegation from an agent to a team of subordinates as morphisms in a certain operad called 𝑂 𝑟 𝑔 𝑚 Org m . However, such morphisms include a great deal of data, and the examples we gave there barely scratched the surface of what’s possible. In this post I’ll show how “recumbent” neural wiring diagrams—with arbitrary feedback and “axon” splitting—give rise to a message-passing language for describing certain such task delegations. That is, I’ll define a cyclic operad 𝑟 𝑛 𝑊 𝐷 rnWD and a functor 𝑟 𝑛 𝑊 𝐷 → 𝑂 𝑟 𝑔 𝑚 rnWD→Org m . In our recent paper, “Dynamic task delegation for hierarchical agents”, Sophie Libkind and I described what we called task delegations, procedures involving an agent and a team of subordinates, as the morphisms in a certain operad 𝑂 𝑟 𝑔 𝑚 Org m . Think of agents as things that perform tasks, like travel agents, agent 007, a

However, the math in this post still stands. 1 1 Introduction In our recent paper, “Dynamic task delegation for hierarchical agents” , 2 Sophie Libkind and I described what we called task delegations , procedures involving an agent and a team of subordinates, as the morphisms in a certain operad \mathbb{O}\mathbf{rg}_\mathfrak{m} .
