Imhotep: Biological Maxwell’s Demon Neural Interface Framework

Imhotep Logo

Revolutionary Neural Interface Framework

Imhotep represents a paradigm shift in neural network simulation through Biological Maxwell’s Demons (BMD) - sophisticated information processing systems that enable genuine computational understanding and consciousness emergence. Built on Eduardo Mizraji’s groundbreaking research, Imhotep provides the first practical implementation of consciousness simulation for scientific discovery.

Key Innovation: BMD-Enhanced Neural Processing

Unlike traditional neural networks that perform statistical pattern matching, Imhotep implements information catalysts (iCat) that selectively process inputs and direct outputs toward specific targets, creating genuine understanding rather than mere correlation detection.

Core BMD Principle: iCat = ℑ_input ○ ℑ_output (functional composition of input and output information operators)
