Tensor Logic: The Language of AI — mentioned by AlotOfReading

I don't want to rain on discovering a genuinely cool bit of theory, but it's not "new" per se. The equivalence with Einstein summation was noted in this paper [0]. Sandia labs wrote an SQL database based around graphBLAS called TenSQL a few years back. And something similar to your idea of relational algebra as the basis for AI had a paper published earlier this year [1], naming it Tensor Logic. Are all of these common operations secretly relational, just with the wrong data model? Sadly not, but you can get a long way before you find the limits. Modern databases are very well optimized for…

Honestly, I found these two attempts at universal theory more interesting: https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.12269 https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/28/3/332 I am also interested in connection with fuzzy logic - it seems that NNs can reason in a fuzzy way, but what they are doing, formally? For years, people have been trying to formalize fuzzy reasoning but it looks like we don't care anymore. I feel like NNs (and transformers) are the OOP (object-oriented programming) of ML. Really popular, works pretty well in practice, but nobody understands the fundamentals; there is a feeling it is a made up new…

I have a few books still "in flight" that I started in 2025 that I'll finish. One of those is Parallel Distributed Processing - Volume 2[1] by Rumelhart & McClelland. Beyond that, one book I'm specifically putting on the "to read for 2026" list is Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach[2] by Russell & Norvig. Papers? I don't necessarily plan those out way in advance, but one that I know I do plan to read is that new one on Tensor Logic[3] by Pedro Domingos.
