We present a biologically detailed extension of the classical Hopfield/Marr auto-associative memory model for CA3, implementing ten populations (two asymmetric pyramidal subtypes, eight GABAergic interneuron classes), forty-seven compartments, multi-rule plasticity (recurrent Hebb, BCM anti-saturation, mossy-fiber short-term, endocannabinoid iLTD, burst-gated Hebb), and a bimodal cholinergic encoding/consolidation cycle. Evaluated on pattern completion across auto-associative, associative, and temporal regimes, and on a controlled inhibitory-proportion manipulation at $N{=}256$, the full architecture exhibits \emph{three qualitative signatures absent from a minimal Hopfield baseline}: (i)~multi-attractor cross-seed behaviour at $K{=}5$ with biologically realistic inhibitory proportions, where two of five seeds converge to positive attractors with margin ${+}0.10{-}0.22$ (Cohen's $d{=}0.71$, one-sided $p{=}0.08$); (ii)~target-selective associative recall in paired $(A, B)$ memory at $K{\geq}5$, where the full model retrieves $B$ from a partial cue of $A$ while the minimal model echoes $A$ (Pearson margin $Δ{=}{+}0.163$ at $K{=}5$); (iii)~reduced cross-seed variance of the full model below the minimal baseline under clean upstream, with ratios $1.0{-}3.0$. These three signatures are architecture-specific: they appear consistently across independent regimes and are absent from the minimal control.

The Id-Pattern system within the RED.AI project (Reabilitação Estrutural Digital através da AI) consists of an agentic system designed to assist in the identification of stone deterioration patterns. Traditional methodologies, based on direct observation by expert teams, are accurate but costly in terms of time and resources. The system developed here introduces and evaluates a multi-agent artificial intelligence (AI) system, designed to simulate collaboration between experts and automate the diagnosis of stone pathologies from visual evidence. The approach is based on a cognitive architecture that orchestrates a team of specialized AI agents which, in this specific case, are limited to five: a lithologist, a pathologist, an environmental expert, a conservator-restorer, and a diagnostic coordinator. To evaluate the system we selected 28 difficult images involving multiple deterioration patterns. Our first results showed a huge boost on all metrics of our system compared to the foundational model.

In this work we introduce the concepts of linguistic transformation, linguistic loop and semantic deficit. By exploiting Lie group theoretical and geometric techniques, we define invariants that capture the structural properties of a whole linguistic loop. This result introduces new line of research, employing tools from Lie theory and higher-dimensional geometry within language studies. But, even more intriguingly, our study hints to a mathematical characterization of the meta-linguistic or pre-verbal thought, namely of those cognitive structures that precede the language.

The conservation of stone-based cultural heritage sites is a critical concern for preserving cultural and historical landmarks. With the advent of Large Multimodal Models, as GPT-4omni (OpenAI), Claude 3 Opus (Anthropic) and Gemini 1.5 Pro (Google), it is becoming increasingly important to define the operational capabilities of these models. In this work, we systematically evaluate the abilities of the main foundational multimodal models to recognise and classify anomalies and deterioration patterns of the stone elements that are useful in the practice of conservation and restoration of world heritage. After defining a taxonomy of the main stone deterioration patterns and anomalies, we asked the foundational models to identify a curated selection of 354 highly representative images of stone-built heritage, offering them a careful selection of labels to choose from. The result, which varies depending on the type of pattern, allowed us to identify the strengths and weaknesses of these models in the field of heritage conservation and restoration.
