The Decoherence Trap: essay on incompatible AI models
Background reading arguing that AI use accelerates decoherence and limits runaway self-improvement. It has no release or tooling change.
What the research found
An essay defines decoherence as the buildup of locally valid but mutually incompatible or redundant models, argues AI use is accelerating it toward a Decoherence Collapse, and says this limits runaway self-improvement; it is background reading with no concrete release or tooling change.
Claims and how well the evidence supports them
- The essay defines decoherence as accumulation of locally valid but mutually incompatible or redundant models within a system 99%
- Decoherence growth rate increases with the rate of change and with existing decoherence 98%
- AI use is currently producing decoherence at an unsustainable rate 98%
