We tell them the space of possible symmetries (e.g., affine); the algorithm discovers which (e.g., translation, or some translations).

Learning Symmetries: Discovering Constraints in Phenomenon Modeling
By
–
The prior is that there's a space of symmetries the phenomenon being modeled may obey (e.g., affine), and the learning task is to discover which (e.g., only translations, or only some translations).

Controlled Perturbation: Function Application as Risk Factor
By
–
But in reality you may fail when you try to do f(X), so doing it is effectively just another perturbation, albeit under your control.

Rung 3 Model: Conditioning on Evidence and Counterfactuals
By
–
All rung 3 requires is a model that lets you condition on arbitrary evidence, including counterfactuals. To learn the model you need inductive biases / prior assumptions, which are necessary and sufficient for all rungs and may or may not include a theory of causality.

Permutation Invariance: Operating on Unordered Sets
By
–
Permutation invariance lets you operate on (unordered) sets. It's not a symbol manipulation apparatus per se.
