Unlocking Autonomy in AI
The Missing Layer in AI: How Entanglement Learning Enables Autonomy
Why Today’s AI Can’t Truly Adapt ...
No internal benchmark
No way to self-assess
Depends on static rules or external feedback
-
Despite massive training sets and advanced models, today’s AI systems remain structurally dependent on human oversight.
-
AI seeks to build systems capable of performing diverse tasks and adapting to new environments and tasks without human oversight. Yet, current AI faces a fundamental limitation: it lacks an intrinsic mechanism for self-evaluation.
-
Once deployed, these systems lack any intrinsic way to know when they’re drifting, failing, or misaligned with reality. As a result, adaptation isn’t emergent—it must be preprogrammed, retrained, or manually triggered.
-
True autonomy requires an internal mechanism to measure alignment with the world. That’s what Entanglement Learning provides.
Entanglement Learning: A Framework for Measuring Information Throughput as an Internal Performance Reference
-
Entanglement Learning (EL) addresses this challenge by providing AI with an intrinsic measure: information throughput—the continuous, bidirectional flow of information between an agent and its environment.
-
EL quantifies the predictability of the environment for the agent (and vice versa), driving the system to maximize this alignment.
-
Consequently, adaptation emerges as a natural outcome of optimizing information flow, not as a programmed feature, but as a fundamental imperative for maintaining informational coherence.
Understanding Information Throughput in AI Systems
AI systems rely on structured patterns of information to translate inputs into actions. Information throughputmeasures how well these patterns are preserved across the system—from sensing to internal processing to output.
​
Entanglement Learning (EL) uses this flow as a real-time signal of system alignment. With the help of the Information Digital Twin (IDT), EL continuously monitors and adjusts throughput to maintain and improve performance—especially under changing conditions.
AI systems interact with their environments by processing input patterns—data distributions that represent sensed or observed conditions—into action patterns, the outputs they produce to affect the world.
​
Between these two ends lies the system’s core: where internal patterns are formed. These internal patterns represent structured, predictive relationships that connect what the system observes to how it responds.
​
Information throughput is the measure of how much of this structure is preserved across the full transformation—from input distributions through internal representations to action distributions. A high-throughput system maintains strong alignment among these patterns.
​
When input distributions shift or internal coherence breaks down, the resulting misalignment causes degraded performance. By continuously monitoring these pattern relationships, systems can detect disruptions early and adapt in real time to preserve informational integrity.
From Patterns to Metrics: Quantifying Information Throughput
To measure information throughput, we analyze the entropy of the system’s patterns:
-
H(S) for input/observation patterns
-
H(A) for internal action patterns
-
H(S′) for observed outcomes or environmental responses
The overlaps between these distributions reflect how much meaningful structure is shared between sensing, acting, and resulting system behavior.
The central intersection—where all three patterns align—represents mutual information across the system: the part that is predictable, interpretable, and useful.
Entanglement Learning aims to maximize this core overlap, ensuring the system remains tightly coupled with its environment, even as conditions change.

The Information Digital Twin
A non-intrusive layer that tracks and restores information coherence in real time
The Information Digital Twin (IDT) is the operational engine of Entanglement Learning—an independent layer that runs alongside an AI system without interfering with its primary functions.
​
It continuously monitors and models the information throughput between the system and its environment, measuring how much structured, predictive information flows across observations, actions, and resulting outcomes.
​
By calculating entanglement metrics—such as base entanglement (ψ), asymmetry (Λψ), and memory (μψ)—the IDT detects when mutual predictability begins to degrade. When that happens, it emits information gradients: directional adjustment signals that help the system recalibrate its parameters and restore optimal alignment, all without manual intervention or retraining.
The Human Digital Twin (HDT)
Applying Entanglement Learning to human–technology interactions
The Human Digital Twin (HDT) extends the Entanglement Learning framework beyond machines to human-centered systems. While the Information Digital Twin (IDT) manages information coherence within technical architectures, the HDT applies the same principles to the complex, multi-system environments surrounding individuals.
​
The HDT constructs a multi-modal architecture that monitors information throughput across all systems interacting with a person—from wearables and medical devices to vehicles, interfaces, and smart environments. By calculating entanglement metrics across these channels, the HDT detects when alignment weakens and issues guidance to restore coherence.
​
This is especially valuable in scenarios where direct communication is limited or where early indicators of change emerge across subtle, distributed signals. Whether tracking treatment-response dynamics in healthcare or optimizing team performance in high-stakes environments, the HDT enables adaptive alignment between people and the systems they rely on.

Current Entanglement Learning Use Cases
The following conceptual implementations illustrate how Entanglement Learning is being explored across diverse domains. Each use case outlines the core challenge, proposed EL-based approach, and the expected impact on system autonomy and adaptability.
EL for Adaptive Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)
Challenge: Image classification networks remain vulnerable to distribution shifts and adversarial attacks, with no reliable way to detect when internal representations no longer align with reality without external validation.
EL Implementation: Our Information Digital Twin monitors the mutual predictability between activation layers and classification outputs, detecting subtle changes in information flow that signal misalignment before classification accuracy visibly degrades.
Impact: EL-enabled CNNs identify adversarial inputs and distribution shifts in real time, maintaining reliable performance through targeted adaptations rather than requiring complete retraining when environments change.
