- Defined by:
gmeow:slices/awareness - Box roles: ABox role (What is this?)
Generative free-running — the model sampling from its latent space with little or no external grounding, the regime in which gmeow:awarenessScalar (temperature-like) most directly applies. The machine analogue of human mind-wandering or imagining (by analogy, NOT equivalence): unconstrained internal generation, the home of confabulation risk.
Structure
Types: gmeow:AwarenessMode
Practical Pattern
Use gmeow:modeSampling as a controlled value typed as gmeow:AwarenessMode.

# Worked example — an AI agent's operational-state regime, the Principle-5 bridge.
# The same gmeow:AwarenessTenure machinery that records a human's sleep records a
# machine's operational state: a live serving window (gmeow:modeOnlineInference),
# a weight-updating training run (gmeow:modeTraining), and a free-running generative
# pass (gmeow:modeSampling), each scoped to a temporal interval and each carrying a
# continuous gmeow:awarenessScalar (a temperature-like regime value). These machine
# modes are SIBLINGS of the human modes in ONE open vocabulary, bridged to human
# waking / dreaming / mind-wandering by ANALOGY, NOT by equivalence (no owl:sameAs,
# no owl:equivalentClass) — substrate-specific realisations of the awareness faculty.
# --- A free-running generative pass — sampling from latent space, the machine
# analogue (by analogy, not equivalence) of human mind-wandering / imagining,
# the regime where the temperature-like gmeow:awarenessScalar bites hardest and
# confabulation risk is highest.
