   Beyond Large Language Models: A Mental World Model Framework for Mental Modeling, Simulation, Evolution, and Interpretability
   This paper introduces the Mental World Model (MWM) and its implementation, the Multi-Branch Mental Evolution Architecture (MMEA), which explicitly constructs subjective worlds, models interactions between cognition and mental states, and simulates continuous mental evolution shaped by historical experiences.

   What is the strongest mechanistic argument that next token prediction plus reinforcement learning can produce open-ended general intelligence? [D]
   I'd like to start one logical step earlier: What is the strongest argument that the learning mechanisms underlying today's AI systems can actually produce AGI?
