Summary

Presents the mathematical foundations of ECAN using information geometry, formalizing how attention is allocated across the AtomSpace based on short-term and long-term importance values.

Relevance to Hyperon

Defines the theoretical basis for ECAN, one of Hyperon's core cognitive algorithms for managing attention and resource allocation across the metagraph.
