Definition

Multimodal processing integrates multiple input or output modalities such as text, audio, and images.

Role in VSAVM

VSAVM is multimodal by representation: all modalities become event streams. This allows one VM and one correctness contract to operate uniformly across modalities.

Mechanics and implications

Audio becomes transcript events with timing; images and video become symbolic descriptors or discrete tokens. Structural separators define scope even in temporal streams. The VM remains modality-agnostic because it consumes discrete events and canonical facts.

Further reading

Multimodal learning literature is broad. VSAVM’s emphasis is on representation unification and execution-based checking, not on any specific encoder design.

multimodal diagram
Multiple modalities converge into a single event stream so the same closure rules apply.
