4.2 - Beyond Scale, Part 2: The Modular Architecture

Part 2 turns from diagnosis to design: the proposed modular system with executive orchestration, multi-level plasticity and continuous learning, multi-agent coordination, alignment handled by design rather than as an afterthought, a phased development roadmap, and the broader implications. This is the audio edition of Beyond Scale: Towards Biologically Inspired Modular Architectures for Adaptive AI, presented in two parts. The full written whitepaper, with references and intellectual foundations, is at jamesmaconochie.com. This is a public episode.
