The End of the Digital Age: Toward Analog Intelligence
NVA - Neural Vector Architecture and the Case for Analog-Conceptual Computing
From the essay
Artificial Intelligence is racing ahead with breathtaking force, but it is running into a wall that cannot be negotiated away by enthusiasm, venture capital, or another round of faster chips. The wall is physical. The answer is not to abandon digital computing. The answer is to move beyond digital monopoly. NVA — Neural Vector Architecture — is a proposed step toward that future. It asks whether intelligence itself can be represented in a more natural, continuous, and energy-frugal form. If artificial intelligence is to grow without consuming the physical world that supports it, it must learn from the world that already computes beautifully.
