Research paper introduces "perspective latents" for causal emergence in AI agents

A new research paper explores the concept of "perspective latents" within active inference agents, proposing them as an architectural condition for causal emergence. The study investigates how a separation between fast perception latents and slow global latents influences information-theoretic measures like $\Phi_r$ in a reward-free environment. Findings suggest that while aggregate $\Phi_r$ may decrease with training, learning's substantive effects are observable at a more granular, atom-compositional level, with specific latents identified as the architectural locus for temporal organization.
