Mass Conservation as an Inductive Bias for Self-Organized Criticality in NCA Reservoirs

arXiv:2606.23115v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Self-organized criticality (SOC), a dynamical regime associated with maximal information processing, offers a promising foundation for reservoir computing. Recent work has shown that neural cellular automata (NCA) can be evolved toward critical avalanche dynamics and
