Memory as transformation: LETHE, a self-referential gan-inspired architecture

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.04289v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LETHE (Latent-parameter Evolution with Temporal Hierarchical quasi-Equilibrium) is a self-referential sonic-oblivion system implemented in SuperCollider. It adopts the formal vocabulary of Generative Adversarial Networks in a closed configuration without external datasets or supervision after initialization. Audio is processed by a 3 x 3 mixing matrix built around two delay lines; its nine coefficients and two delay times evolve through the interaction of a five-feature linear discriminator and a random-perturbation optimizer analogous to single-sample REINFORCE. The discriminator compares current energy behavior with an archive of the initial state and guides parameter updates. Circular, fixed, and live sources can be mixed independently. Ac
