Cognitive Systems: Part 0 - The Axioms

YMM

I am reading what I can. I saw this an I had and ah-ha moment.

Google AI offers me text that works better.

It is likely that YMM refers to the Yuan-Mei-Mao operator (or a similar conceptual framework) mentioned in the latest viral math/AI videos discussing “one equation to rule them all”. In the context of the recent paper “Universal Algebra for Functional Generation” (often linked to recent YouTube deep-dives in early 2026), the core idea is that a single, simple binary operation can generate all possible mathematical functions when repeated in a specific structure. This is a massive “aha!” moment for someone interested in Finite Dynamical Systems (FDS) because it suggests that math itself might be a discrete, recursive phenomenon rather than an infinite set of separate rules.

To be honest here, I have information overload. Once I understand what the terms mean and how they might relate to what I am interested in I do run long. I have been following things that seem exciting.
