摘要

arXiv:2605.25062v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The dominant artificial intelligence paradigm trains neural architectures via gradient descent against proxy objectives and reinforcement learning from human feedback. While remarkably capable, this top-down optimization inherently generates structural failure modes, including hallucination, sycophancy, reward hacking, and alignment fragility, which represent paradigmatic limitations rather than mere engineering defects. In response, we introduce RECLAIM (Recursive, Ecological, Cognitive, Lifelike, Adaptive, Intelligent Machine), a theoretical framework for cultivating intelligence through computational ecology rather than engineering it through strict optimization. The model is supported by four interlocking theoretical pillars.
