Do Neurons Dream of Primitive Operators? Wake-Sleep Compression Rediscovers Schank's Event Semantics

ArXi:2603.25975v1 Announce Type: cross We show that they do. Schank's conceptual dependency theory proposed that all events decompose into primitive operations -- ATRANS, PTRANS, MTRANS, and others -- hand-coded from linguistic intuition. Can the same primitives be discovered automatically through compression pressure alone? We adapt DreamCoder's wake-sleep library learning to event state transformations.
