Saturating knowledge-gradient magnitude

Map a nonnegative gradient magnitude r to r/(1+r). It is zero at r=0, increases monotonically, and approaches one for large r, limiting the influence of very large gradients.

Terms & definitions

The recovered passage does not supply a separate symbol table. Read the source context for the notation used in this version; familiar letters may carry different meanings in other builds.

How it works

  1. Read g(t) as the quantity being defined or updated by this relation.

  2. Uses a derivative or gradient to describe a rate of change or a direction of variation.

  3. Use this version’s variable definitions and update order. The same symbol may be assigned a different meaning in another build.

Assumptions & limits

  • The expression assumes compatible units or a dimensionless gradient magnitude. It does not measure consciousness independently of the chosen H.
