This paper introduces IRAM-Omega-Q, a framework that models uncertainty regulation in adaptive agents using a quantum-like state representation paired with closed-loop entropy control. By comparing regulation-first versus disturbance-first causal orderings, the study demonstrates that proactive regulation yields lower sustained adaptive gain despite comparable coherence-gap trajectories. The findings suggest that the timing of regulatory intervention is a critical architectural determinant for managing stability thresholds under stochastic disturbance.

IRAM-Omega-Q: A Computational Framework for Uncertainty Regulation in Adaptive Agents

arXiv3 min read

arXiv:2603.16020v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Adaptive agents operating under uncertainty must do more than optimize task outputs: they must maintain a workable internal state under noise, perturbation, and changing conditions. This paper introduces IRAM-Omega-Q, a computational framework for modeling uncertainty regulation in adaptive agents under stochastic disturbance. The framework combines a quantum-like state representation with closed-loop adaptive control over an internal entropy signal. The quantum-like formalism is used instrumentally: the evolving state is a normalized complex amplitude vector, coherent evolution is propagated exactly as psi(t + Delta t) = exp(-i H Delta t) psi(t), and a derived density matrix supports entropy and coherence-gap analysis. Two causal control orderings are compared. In regulation-first (RF) ordering, adaptive regulation is available before current-cycle disturbance and attenuates incoming exposure; in disturbance-first (DF) ordering, current-cycle disturbance is received before a new regulatory response can be computed, and stabilization acts reactively. Publication-mode, matched-seed simulations show broadly comparable coherence-gap trajectories but lower sustained adaptive gain under RF. Susceptibility maps based on post-burn-in temporal fluctuations further show that DF shifts the critical initial-gain ridge toward larger values across multiple disturbance intervals. These results identify ordering as an architectural determinant of regulatory demand and threshold location within an otherwise shared regime structure.
