What Is a Self-Model for a Machine?
A practical definition of the model that connects machine state, commands and future response.
Read the guide →A08 Learn
Understand how machines model themselves.
Short guides on learned dynamics, operating boundaries, evaluation, uncertainty and model repair.
Library
Start with the operating question.
When the Machine Changes but the Model Does Not
Why payload, wear, friction and latency can invalidate an otherwise capable machine model.
What Verified World Model Repair Means
A model update should be local, attributable, reversible and independently checked.
Why Machine Models Need an Evidence Registry
Model identity, operating limits and repair history should travel with every deployed version.
A08 Notes
Machine self-models, explained clearly.
Follow the research, repair methods and physical-validation work.
