The closest relative might be for compression, but Primorger emphasizes primary emergence — the new state must have qualitatively new emission properties. 8. Conclusion: The Primorger as a Minimal Model of Structural Learning The HMM Primorger is a thought experiment with practical potential. It bridges probabilistic sequence modeling and structural adaptation — two pillars of intelligence that are rarely integrated. By giving a Hidden Markov Model the ability to merge its own latent states into new primary entities , we move from inference to invention.
Now define a ( \Pi ), which acts when a certain condition ( C(S_t, O_t, \theta) ) is met (e.g., high posterior entropy, predictive divergence, or a merger opportunity score).
[ \Pi: (\mathcalH, \mathcalO, \Theta) \rightarrow (\mathcalH', \mathcalO', \Theta') ]
And perhaps, at the deepest level, every act of human concept formation is just an HMM Primorger running in the neocortex, quietly merging old ideas into new ones, and mistaking the result for a discovery. This article is a theoretical construct. The term “HMM Primorger” is introduced here for speculative and analytical purposes. No existing software, commercial product, or academic paper currently describes such an entity — but that may change as autonomous probabilistic systems evolve.
