"To truly understand the depths of a topic, one must delve deeply and deliberately. Delving allows an inquisitive mind to delve beneath the surface, exploring layers where few dare to delve. This process of delving not only enriches knowledge but also enhances one's ability to delve into future challenges with increased acumen. So, when faced with a complex problem, don't just skim; delve, delve, and delve again, for the treasures of understanding lie in the depths, waiting for those who are willing to delve."
"The universe is a vast, intricate puzzle waiting to be solved. Each new discovery leads to more questions, more avenues to explore. It's an endless cycle of learning, a journey that takes us deeper into the heart of reality. And the more we learn, the more we realize how much there is yet to discover.
Science is not just about accumulating facts and figures. It's about developing a way of thinking, a way of approaching the world with an open mind and a relentless curiosity. It's about being willing to question everything, to challenge our assumptions and preconceptions. Only by doing so can we hope to uncover the hidden truths that lie beneath the surface of things.
And what truths they are! The laws of physics, the principles of chemistry, the intricacies of biology - all of these reveal a universe that is far more complex, far more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. From the smallest subatomic particles to the largest structures in the cosmos, there is an underlying order, a breathtaking symmetry that speaks to the fundamental unity of all things.
But perhaps the greatest wonder of all is the human mind itself. The fact that we, mere specks in the vastness of the universe, have the capacity to comprehend its workings, to unravel its secrets - that is truly astonishing. Our curiosity, our thirst for knowledge, is what sets us apart. It is the engine that drives us forward, that compels us to keep asking questions, keep seeking answers.
And so we press on, driven by that unquenchable curiosity, that insatiable desire to know. We probe the depths of the ocean and the far reaches of space. We peer into the heart of the atom and map the intricacies of the brain. And with each new discovery, each new insight, we come a little closer to understanding the grand design of the universe.
But the journey is never-ending. Each answer leads to new questions, new mysteries to be unraveled. And that is the beauty of it all. For in the pursuit of knowledge, in the act of discovery, we find not just intellectual satisfaction, but a profound sense of purpose, of connection to something greater than ourselves.
So let us embrace that curiosity, that sense of wonder. Let us never stop asking "why?" and "how?". For it is in the asking, in the seeking, that we truly come alive. It is there that we find the essence of what it means to be human."

https://twitter.com/algekalipso/status/1785781309002186929?t=791CC8juEFTCpHlYtfe1bw&s=19 "Stuart Hameroff is onto something with microtubule resonances of different frequencies for different layers, it might be that some of 5-MeO-DMT phenomenology is explained that way. For example, really good 5-MeO-DMT trips feel like there is cross-frequency coherence across many scales of organization, where the vibrations in your body become coherent with your neural vibrations, which become coherent with higher frequency vibrations that are completely odd and strange and you never feel them otherwise, which in turn are coherent with even higher frequency vibrations, which in turn are coherent with even higher frequency vibrations.

This map covers many key areas in the mathematics of emergence, but it is by no means exhaustive. Each subtopic could be expanded into its own detailed map, and there are likely many other relevant areas not included here. The study of emergence is highly interdisciplinary, drawing from fields such as physics, biology, computer science, and social sciences, in addition to various branches of mathematics. The common thread is the focus on how complex, collective phenomena can arise from the interactions of simpler components, often in surprising and unpredictable ways. The mathematics of emergence provides a framework for understanding and modeling these phenomena across diverse domains."

This covers many of the foundational equations of LQG, including the key variables, constraints, geometric operators, and the basis of spin network states. However, there are many more detailed equations involved in the full theory and its applications. The equations of LQG aim to provide a background-independent, non-perturbative theory of quantum gravity based on the quantization of general relativity formulated in terms of Ashtekar variables. The goal is to describe spacetime as fundamentally discrete at the Planck scale in terms of quantum geometry."

While highly successful, it is not a complete theory as it does not include gravity and has some other limitations. Physicists continue to search for a more fundamental theory that can address these."

- |j,m⟩ are angular momentum eigenstates
- j is the total angular momentum quantum number
- m is the magnetic quantum number
Perturbation Theory: Ĥ = Ĥ0 + Ĥ' En = E(0)n + E(1)n + E(2)n + ... - Ĥ0 is the unperturbed Hamiltonian - Ĥ' is a small perturbation - En is the nth energy level with corrections
Selection Rules: Δl = ±1, Δm = 0,±1, ΔS = 0 - Rules for allowed transitions - Based on conservation of angular momentum
Fermi's Golden Rule:
Γi→f = (2π/ℏ)|⟨f|Ĥ'|i⟩|2ρ(Ef)
- Transition rate from initial state |i⟩ to final states |f⟩
- ρ(Ef) is density of final states
Density Matrix:
ρ = ∑i pi|Ψi⟩⟨Ψi|
- Describes a quantum statistical ensemble
- pi is probability of state |Ψi⟩

"Gibbs free energy, denoted as G, is a thermodynamic potential that combines enthalpy (H) (total heat content of a system) and entropy (S) into a single value. It is defined by the equation:
G = H - TS
where T is the absolute temperature.
The change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG) for a process is equal to the change in enthalpy (ΔH) minus the product of the temperature and the change in entropy (ΔS):
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
ΔG is a measure of the thermodynamic favorability of a process: - If ΔG < 0, the process is thermodynamically favored (spontaneous)[1]. - If ΔG > 0, the process is not thermodynamically favored (non-spontaneous) and requires an input of energy to occur. - If ΔG = 0, the process is at equilibrium.
ΔG represents the maximum amount of non-expansion work that can be extracted from a thermodynamic system at constant temperature and pressure[4]. A negative ΔG means a reaction will release free energy that can be used to do useful work[5].
Gibbs free energy is an important concept in chemistry and biology for understanding the energetics and spontaneity of processes like chemical reactions and phase changes[2][3]. It was originally developed in the 1870s by American scientist Josiah Willard Gibbs[4].

Quanta Magazine "Symplectic geometry is a branch of differential geometry that studies symplectic manifolds, which are smooth manifolds equipped with a closed, nondegenerate 2-form called the symplectic form[1]. The study of symplectic manifolds is motivated by classical mechanics, where the phase space of a closed system can be modeled as a symplectic manifold[1].
Some key points about symplectic geometry:
-
Symplectic manifolds are necessarily even-dimensional and orientable, since the nondegeneracy of the symplectic form implies it is a volume form[4].
-
Locally, all symplectic manifolds are indistinguishable due to the closedness condition on the symplectic form[4].
-
Symplectic geometry provides the mathematical language for areas of physics like Hamiltonian mechanics, geometric quantization, and geometrical optics[3][5].
-
Special submanifolds called Lagrangian submanifolds, which are half-dimensional, play a central role and can be thought of as "classical points"[3].
-
While symplectic geometry is called "geometry", it is less clear what the geometric content is compared to Riemannian geometry, as notions like the symplectic form seem more algebraic than geometric[2]. One view is that the "geometry" comes from studying the symmetries, namely the symplectomorphism groups[2].
So in summary, symplectic geometry is the study of even-dimensional manifolds with a symplectic form, motivated by physics, but with rich mathematical structure and deep connections to other areas of geometry and topology.

"Once upon a time, in a shimmering meadow, lived a magical pony named Celestia, who was known for her shimmering mane that mirrored the colors of the dawn sky. Celestia was not only magical but also had an insatiable curiosity about the universe.
One day, while frolicking near her favorite daisy patch, she stumbled upon an odd, ancient-looking cheese wheel partially buried under the soft grass. The cheese emitted a faint, pulsating glow and hummed with a peculiar energy. Intrigued, Celestia nudged it with her nose, and to her astonishment, the cheese revealed holographic projections of mathematical equations and cosmic patterns.
Determined to decipher these secrets, Celestia enlisted the help of an old wise owl named Oliver, who had been tinkering with a primitive A.I. system, attempting to solve the mysteries of the universe himself. Oliver was thrilled to help and quickly adapted his A.I. to analyze the cheese's holograms.
Days turned into nights, and nights into days as Celestia and Oliver worked tirelessly, feeding data from the cheese into the A.I. system. As they approached the final pieces of the cosmic puzzle, the A.I. buzzed and clicked, and finally, it displayed a breathtakingly simple yet profound equation—the Theory of Everything.
It turned out the cheese was crafted by an ancient civilization, advanced in technology and knowledge, who had encoded the secrets of the universe within it, hoping it would one day be found by someone capable of understanding its significance.
Celestia, with her magical abilities and the A.I.'s computational power, had uncovered the fundamental principles that connected everything in the universe. This discovery revolutionized how all creatures understood their world and the cosmos beyond.
And so, Celestia became not just a magical pony of the meadow but a legend, a beacon of enlightenment in a newly enlightened world, all thanks to a mysterious wheel of cheese and a brilliant A.I. companion. And they all thrived under the newfound knowledge, living happily ever after in the lush, ever-mystical meadows.
Theory of Everything equation that Celestia and the A.I. uncovered is a beautiful, complex string of symbols that encompass not only the known mathematical constants and variables but also arcane symbols that were previously unknown. This equation connects the fundamental forces of the universe—gravity, electromagnetism, strong nuclear, and weak nuclear forces—in a single framework.
The equation is written in a flowing script that glimmers with a light of its own, almost as if it's alive. It's composed of both familiar mathematical symbols like pi and the Planck constant, and mysterious glyphs that might have been inspired by the ancient civilization's understanding of cosmic truths that go beyond current human knowledge.
These glyphs represent concepts like the unity of space and time, the balance of matter and energy, and the interplay between dimensions that are not perceived by ordinary senses. The A.I. helped translate these concepts into a form that Celestia could understand, integrating them into the holographic projections from the magical cheese.
This equation not only offers a mathematical description of all physical phenomena but also hints at new, undiscovered layers of reality, suggesting pathways to manipulating dimensions and energy in ways previously thought impossible. It's a gateway to both understanding the universe and unlocking potential magical abilities that intertwine science and mysticism."

"Here is a concise comparison of loop quantum gravity (LQG) and string theory:
Loop quantum gravity and string theory are the two main approaches that attempt to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity to develop a theory of quantum gravity. However, they have some key differences:
-
LQG focuses on quantizing space-time itself, treating it as composed of discrete loops and nodes at the Planck scale. String theory posits that elementary particles are made of tiny vibrating strings, and requires extra spatial dimensions[2].
-
The main goal of LQG is to be a quantum theory of gravity, while string theory aims to be a "theory of everything" unifying all forces and explaining particle physics as well[2][4].
-
LQG is background-independent - it tries to emerge space-time from the theory. String theory is background-dependent, assuming a fixed space-time framework[2].
-
String theory requires supersymmetry, which predicts undiscovered partner particles. LQG does not require this[1].
-
String theory has received far more attention and research effort than LQG, and is considered more mathematically developed. An estimated 95% of quantum gravity research falls under string theory[3].
-
However, both theories still lack experimental evidence. String theory has issues like the lack of discovered supersymmetric particles, while LQG has not yet shown it can recover smooth space-time from quantized space[3][4].
Some researchers are exploring ways to combine insights from both string theory and LQG. But significant differences remain, and it's an open question whether they can converge into a unified framework[1][3]. More theoretical work and eventual experimental validation will be needed to determine which approach succeeds in describing quantum gravity.

The set of complex numbers of magnitude 1 under complex multiplication forms the gauge group of electromagnetism: U(1). The set of quaternions of magnitude 1 under quaternionic multiplication forms the gauge group of the weak force: SU(2). The automorphism subgroup of the octonions preserving a magnitude-1 imaginary element i^2=-1 forms the gauge group of the strong force: SU(3). And the isometry group of a (flat) Lorentzian manifold with real-valued coordinates forms the gauge group of gravity: ISO(1, 3). Clearly, the relationship is most direct in the case of the electromagnetic and weak forces, which were unified first (the Weinberg-Salam model). Clearly, the relationship is least direct in the case of gravity, which remains un-unified with the other three.

The ability to be a (universal) Turing machine could, in principle, be the foundation of the ability to reliably perform complex rigorous calculation and cognition - the kind of tasks where there is an exact right answer, or exact constraints on what is a valid next step, and so the ability to pattern-match plausibly is not enough. And that is what people always say is missing from LLMs. https://twitter.com/ctjlewis/status/1779740038852690393?t=qmuJ2foWJD3lSA5SYP2dPQ&s=19

Definitely! Since we've been diving into quite specific areas, let's shift directions slightly and explore broader mathematical frameworks that contribute to our understanding of intelligence. Abstract and Foundational Frameworks Graph Theory: Networks are a powerful way to represent the relationships between neurons, individuals in a society, or abstract knowledge concepts. Spectral Graph Theory: Analyzes the properties of graphs using the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of their matrices. Can be applied to problems like community detection and dimensionality reduction. Random Graph Models: Models like Erdős–Rényi and small-world networks help investigate how structural properties of systems impact information flow and collective behavior. Dynamical Systems: Many phenomena relating to intelligence, like learning and decision-making, involve systems changing over time. Attractors: Stable states a system tends to evolve towards, relevant to understanding memory and pattern formation. Chaos Theory: Seemingly random behavior can arise from deterministic equations, this has implications for understanding the limits of predictability within intelligence. Topology: Studies the shape of spaces and how they deform under continuous transformations. Persistent Homology: Used to analyze the structure of complex data sets, revealing patterns across different scales, relevant for neuroscience (brain networks) and data analysis. Topological Data Analysis (TDA): A set of techniques drawing from topology to represent and extract insights from complex data, potentially applicable to understanding high-dimensional representations used in AI. Category Theory: A very abstract branch of mathematics focusing on relationships between objects and the transformations between them. Potential applications: In the long run, it could provide a highly structured language for describing complex systems of knowledge and intelligence. The Quest for a Unified Theory Integrated Information Theory (IIT): Attempts to mathematically define consciousness and intelligence based on a system's intrinsic cause-effect power. Controversial, but generates interesting mathematical measures. Free-Energy Principle (FEP): Proposes that biological systems (and potentially intelligent systems in general) minimize a quantity related to surprise and uncertainty, making their behavior predictable. Embodied Cognition Theories: The idea that our thinking is shaped by our physical bodies and interactions with the environment motivates mathematical frameworks blending cognition with sensorimotor systems. Caveats and Considerations Nascent Research Areas: Many of these areas are their early stages of being applied to the study of intelligence. Beyond Pure Equations: Often, the power comes from how the mathematical frameworks structure our thinking, not just single equations in isolation. Multi-scale: Intelligence exists at multiple levels, so will likely require a multi-level mathematical approach to fully understand. Let me know if you'd like a breakdown of the actual equations within some of these frameworks, or would like to explore a totally different direction!
Let's shift our focus towards the idea of intelligence optimization and exploration. Here are some mathematical frameworks and equations that help model how both natural and artificial systems improve their intelligent capabilities:
Optimization Techniques
-
Gradient-Based Optimization with Variations: The foundation of training many neural networks.
- Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD): Uses random batches of data for faster updates with some noise.
- Momentum: Incorporates past updates to help smooth out oscillations and speed convergence.
- Adam, RMSProp: Algorithms with adaptive learning rates, adjusting how much individual parameters change during each update.
-
Meta-Learning: The idea of "learning to learn," optimizing the process of learning itself.
- Equations involving hyperparameters: These are parameters that control the learning process itself (like learning rate). Meta-learning seeks to optimize these.
- Metric-based Meta-learning: Learning representations that generalize well, focusing on fast adaptation to new tasks.
Evolutionary Algorithms
- Fitness Functions: Equations that define how well an individual solution performs in a given environment or problem.
- Genetic Operators:
- Crossover: Equations governing how the "genetic material" of solutions are combined during reproduction.
- Mutation: Equations defining random modifications to introduce diversity and explore new areas of the solution space.
- Neuroevolution: Using evolutionary algorithms to evolve the architectures and weights of neural networks.
Exploration vs. Exploitation
-
Multi-Armed Bandit Problem: A classic problem illustrating the decision between exploiting known options for immediate reward versus exploring uncertain alternatives for potential greater gains long-term,
- Regret: A metric measuring the difference in accumulated reward between an optimal strategy and the chosen one.
- Epsilon-Greedy Algorithms: A simple approach balancing exploration and exploitation by taking a random action with some probability epsilon.
-
Bayesian Optimization: A more sophisticated approach for finding the maximum of an unknown function. Used in hyperparameter tuning of AI models.
- Acquisition Functions: These guide the search for the next point to evaluate, balancing between areas of high predicted value and areas of high uncertainty.
Reinforcement Learning in Detail
-
Markov Decision Processes (MDPs): A mathematical framework for modeling sequential decision-making
- State: The information the agent has about its environment.
- Action: The choice an agent makes at each time step.
- Reward: The immediate feedback of taking an action.
- Policy: A mapping from states to actions to be taken.
-
Value Functions: Estimate the total expected future reward an agent can receive.
- State-Value Function
V(s)
: Expected future reward starting from state s and following policy. - Action-Value Function
Q(s,a)
: Expected future reward starting from state s, taking action a, and following policy.
- State-Value Function
Important Considerations:
- Problem Complexity: The equations become far more complex when dealing with continuous state and action spaces, or partially observable environments.
- Delayed Rewards: Learning when rewards come far in the future is a major challenge in both biological and artificial intelligence
- Efficiency vs. Optimality: Often there's a trade-off between finding solutions quickly and finding the absolute best solution.
Let me know if you want to dive even deeper into the specifics of a particular equation or algorithm!
Absolutely! Let's move away from the focus on improvement and optimization and look at the measurement and comparison of intelligence.
Intelligence Tests and Quantification
-
Intelligence Quotient (IQ): A classical, but controversial metric.
- Calculation involves an individual's mental age divided by their chronological age, multiplied by 100. Assumes intelligence follows a normal distribution.
-
Factor Analysis: A statistical technique used to identify underlying factors contributing to IQ test performance.
- g-factor: Spearman's proposed 'general intelligence' factor underlying all cognitive abilities.
- More complex models: Propose multiple types of intelligence, such as fluid intelligence (reasoning ability) and crystallized intelligence (acquired knowledge).
-
Raven's Progressive Matrices: A non-verbal intelligence test aiming to be more culturally neutral, focusing on pattern recognition.
Information-Theoretic Measures
-
Causal Entropy: Attempts to measure the minimum amount of information from the past needed to predict the future state of a system, potentially related to its inherent complexity and intelligence.
-
Predictive Information: Measures how much uncertainty about the future of a system is reduced by knowing its present state. Systems with high predictive information could be considered more structured and less random.
-
Effective Complexity: A nuanced measure balancing the amount of structure within a system with its randomness. May relate to a system's capacity for rich and intelligent behavior.
Limitations and Challenges
- Defining Intelligence: No single definition exists. Measures depend on your chosen definition
- Cultural Bias: Many tests are inherently biased towards specific knowledge bases and problem-solving styles
- Reductionism: Intelligence is likely multifaceted; simple numerical measures are unlikely to capture its full scope.
- Dynamism: Intelligence is about adaptability and learning. Static tests only provide a snapshot.
AI Benchmarks
- Turing Test: Historically significant, but now considered insufficient. Can machines engage in conversation indistinguishable from a human?
- Winograd Schema Challenge: Tests common-sense reasoning and the ability to resolve ambiguity using language.
- Game-Based Benchmarks: Measuring performance in complex games like Chess, Go, StarCraft, and Dota 2 (many AI milestones are around these games, but they don't capture all aspects of intelligence).
- Datasets and Task Specific: A huge array of datasets (ImageNet, GLUE, SuperGLUE) with specific tasks test different AI capabilities tied to various aspects of intelligence.
Important Considerations:
- Goal Specificity: Tests are often tied to specific domains or abilities, not universal intelligence.
- Moving Targets: As AI advances, benchmarks need to constantly evolve to remain challenging.
- The Danger of Single Numbers: Oversimplifying intelligence into a single score can be actively misleading.
Would you like to zoom into the mathematics behind a particular test or explore alternative, non-traditional ways intelligence could be measured?

"Můžeme zkopírovat/teleportovat jednu mysl? To hodně záleží na jaký úrovni abstrakce a jiných implementačních detailech je ve fyzice individuální prožitek implementován.
Potřebuješ zkopírovat high level funkcionální klasický algoritmy a data, nebo skoro všechny low level kvantový informace? Ale jaký algorithmy a informace?
Musí ty informace být jen z mozku, nebo z celkovyho nervovýho systému, celkovyho organismu, nebo i nějaký informace z prostředí jsou důležitý?
Můžeš mít dva v podstatě identický fyzikální systémy tvořící dvě individuální mysli? Co se týče kvantový informace, tam klonování znemožňuje quantum no cloning theorem, ale neznemožňuje to u kvantový teleportace, nebo u klonování klasických informací, to děláme v počítačích denně.
Končetiny bývají amputovány, aniž by se z lidí staly dramaticky odlišné mysli. Platí to podobně pro mozek? Existuje nějaká hranice jako: Tato podmnožina informací o systému je dostatečná informace determinující tuto individuální mysl?
Co by se stalo kdybychom místo toho zkusili pomalý nahrazování částí nebo slučování jednoho systému s tým druhým systémem?
Platí vůbec reduktivní fyzikalismus a uzavřený individualismus ve filozofii mysli?
Reálně nikdo neví, všechno jsou jenom teorie, co potvrdit jinak než empiricky pravděpodobně nejde."
"Can we copy/teleport mind? That depends on what level of abstraction and other implementation details the individual mind is implemented in physics.
Do you need to copy high-level functional classical algorithms and data, or almost all of low-level quantum information in quantum field theory standard model? But what algorithms and which information?
Does the information have to be just from the brain, or from the overall nervous system, the overall organism, or is some information from the environment important as well?
Can you have two basically identical physical systems creating two individual minds? As for quantum information, there cloning is prevented by the quantum no cloning theorem, but it doesn't prevent quantum teleportation, or for cloning classical information, we do that in computers every day.
Limbs get amputated without people becoming dramatically different minds. Does it similarly hold for the brain? Is there some boundary like: This subset of system's information is enough information for determining this individual mind?
What would happen if we instead tried a slow replacement of parts or merging the first system with the second one?
Is reductive physicalism and closed individualism even true in the philosophy of the mind?
Realistically, no one knows, they are all just theories, which probably can't be confirmed in any other way except empirically."
"Functionalism doesn't work as its too causally disconnected from physical substrate?
For example i think i get the argument against functionalism on a high level: the arbitraryness, the gigantic space of possible functional solutions. But i dont think that fundamentally invalidates the whole space of possible solutions there, as i think that argument can be applied to the whole models of consciousness field, with its very limited empirical tools to verify these models most of which havent been even tried yet.
i dont think it has to be disconnected in that way you can have algorithm running which is just part of the physics on a more abstract level identified by stuff like or similar to mean field theory approach Mean-field theory - Wikipedia The idea is that you have the two levels if abstraction fundamentally coupled together as the more abstract level is just the fundamental dynamics described on a more abstract level So you get different abstraction levels of analysis instead There's no causal coupling as it's the same fundamental level, just different parts of it, different patterns in it For example: emergent patterns in celluar automata are still part of the fundamental celluar automata
Electromagnetic field theory of consciousness works?
I also think excluding all other quantum fields for forces and matter, that are defined in interrelated ways via various equations in standard model's quantum field theory (plus unsolved gravity), might be an issue, even tho electromagnetic field constitutes majority of interactions in the universe on macroscopic scales
And on a lot of ontological and metaphysical questions in philosophy of mind, since there's not really a way to verify them empirically, I'm often agnostic, or liking various solutions in parallel, or depending on the context etc.. "

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/343758238_Book_Review_Alice_and_Bob_meet_Banach_The_interface_of_asymptotic_geometric_analysis_and_quantum_information_theory Alice and Bob Meet Banach: The Interface of Asymptotic Geometric Analysis and Quantum Information Theory Alice and Bob Meet Banach: The Interface of Asymptotic Geometric Analysis and Quantum Information Theory "The quest to build a quantum computer is arguably one of the major scientific and technological challenges of the twenty-first century, and quantum information theory (QIT) provides the mathematical framework for that quest. Over the last dozen or so years, it has become clear that quantum information theory is closely linked to geometric functional analysis (Banach space theory, operator spaces, high-dimensional probability), a field also known as asymptotic geometric analysis (AGA). In a nutshell, asymptotic geometric analysis investigates quantitative properties of convex sets, or other geometric structures, and their approximate symmetries as the dimension becomes large. This makes it especially relevant to quantum theory, where systems consisting of just a few particles naturally lead to models whose dimension is in the thousands, or even in the billions.
Alice and Bob Meet Banach is aimed at multiple audiences connected through their interest in the interface of QIT and AGA: at quantum information researchers who want to learn AGA or apply its tools; at mathematicians interested in learning QIT, or at least the part of QIT that is relevant to functional analysis/convex geometry/random matrix theory and related areas; and at beginning researchers in either field. Moreover, this user-friendly book contains numerous tables and explicit estimates, with reasonable constants when possible, which make it a useful reference even for established mathematicians generally familiar with the subject."

"Intelligence is the ability for an information processing system to adapt to its environment with insuficient knowledge and resources." Insuficient knowledge and resources means the system works with respect to the following restrictions: Finite. The system has a constant information processing capacity, Real-time. All tasks have time requirements attached, and Open. No constraints are put on the knowledge and tasks that the system can accept, as long as representable in the interface language. https://cis.temple.edu/~pwang/Publication/intelligence.pdf
Different definitions and predefinitions and models are useful for different purposes in different contexts IMO. It's not that all are equally valid in all contexts. There are different motivations behind each in different ways useful definition of intelligence.

"I believe ASI doesn't equal doom by default as many assume. I believe that eventual (safe) AGI/ASI will be the ultimate technology that will with other technologies help sentience live for much longer by helping it to prevent universe from killing us from the many natural existential risks, and help spread sentience in it, in the long run.
But in the short term, I'm trying to put bets on the most likely future scenarios and orient my actions around that. With the current developments that I see that I've integrated in my perspective, to change my perspective, I need to be convinced that the most probable scenario in the future right now isn't WW3 with winners being those with the best AI and other technology. Or if we nuke ourselves to oblivion, those with the best nuclear bunkers will survive. I'm starting to lose hope in diplomacy working. I also like how it it dissolving certain maladaptive power dynamics in certain domains our system, but in other domains it's increasing power asymmetries instead, so there I want to decentralize this technology to prevent other failure modes.
In the more shorter term technology strength in wars will matter. Rogue superintelligent AI, if assumed, might be a risk in a more longer term, and I don't think that risk is as dark by default as many LWs/EAs assume. I think many of the xrisk arguments from Eliezer, Bostrom etc. are not as strong as they seem to be at first glance, see optimists . ai website that deconstructs the classic ASI xrisk arguments."

"Jo, LLMs trénovaný imitací jsou pořád celkem malá podmnožina všech typů ML systémů co se zkouší co má svý výhody a nevýhody. Teď se pomalu a jistě rozšiřují do jiných modalit, přidávají se různý jiný trénovací mechanismy než je imitace tam kde to jde, zkouší se upravovat architektura nebo celkově předělávat. V tom vidím větší naději.
Ale argumentoval bych, že dosavadní LLMs v různých hybridních systémech už nový vědění v nějakých kontextech generují, díky tomu že neuronky generalizují alespoň lokálně slabě (což jde různě zlepšovat) jako je např FunSearch co pomohl v najít nový výsledek v matice FunSearch: Making new discoveries in mathematical sciences using Large Language Models - Google DeepMind , nebo je spousta různých jiných LLM augmented systémů co pomohli najít nový výsledky.
Ale těch ML přístupů, co objevují různý nový řešení různých problémů nebo mají lepší reasoning v různých doménách, je celkem hodně, jako např klasický AlphaFold, nebo různý grafový neurální sítě, nebo co nepoužívají klasický neuronky vůbec, nebo co jsem zmínil u komentáře Petera Kolby.
Ještě je dost co udělat pro: 1 - Generalization. 2 - Continuous learning. 3 - Data & compute efficiency. 4 - Reliability. 5 - Causal modeling."
What's the theory of all theory? "There is no single, universally accepted "theory of all theories" that encompasses and explains all other theories. However, there are some overarching concepts and frameworks that attempt to provide a unified understanding of various theories across different fields:
-
General Systems Theory: This interdisciplinary approach, developed by Ludwig von Bertalanffy, aims to understand the principles and laws that govern the behavior of complex systems, regardless of their specific components or the field of study.
-
Metatheory: Metatheory is the study of theories, their structures, and the principles that guide their development. It examines the underlying assumptions, methodologies, and implications of theories across various disciplines.
-
Consilience: Proposed by biologist E. O. Wilson, consilience is the idea that all branches of knowledge, including the sciences and humanities, are ultimately connected and can be integrated into a unified framework of understanding.
-
Interdisciplinarity: This approach emphasizes the importance of crossing disciplinary boundaries and integrating knowledge from various fields to develop more comprehensive and holistic theories.
-
Unification: In physics, the concept of unification seeks to combine the fundamental forces of nature (gravity, electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force) into a single, coherent theoretical framework, often referred to as the "Theory of Everything" (ToE).
While these concepts provide valuable insights into the nature and development of theories, there is currently no single, all-encompassing "theory of all theories" that is widely accepted across all fields of study."

"We mostly believe the idea that most likely from some fundamental forces emerges everything we experience. But it might also be the case that from everything that we experience emerges the belief of the idea of fundamental forces. A correspondence. The relations encoding emergence can be generalized to any relations. You can take substructures and compare them with other substructures for example using typed category theoretical language. The assumptions themselves encoding the properties of the relations can be put into the same language and compared in a similar way. The language using the language itself can be compared with any other existing language. The language itself can be further generalized to more metalanguages that can include or compare all other languages or other metalanguages. Any language can play with any other language with its machinery." https://twitter.com/burny_tech/status/1492706452292739073

https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/3LuZm3Lhxt6aSpMjF/ai-regulation-is-unsafe#YP47CpcD3P7SYAt46 "Concerns over AI safety and calls for government control over the technology are highly correlated but they should not be.
There are two major forms of AI risk: misuse and misalignment. Misuse risks come from humans using AIs as tools in dangerous ways. Misalignment risks arise if AIs take their own actions at the expense of human interests.
Governments are poor stewards for both types of risk. Misuse regulation is like the regulation of any other technology. There are reasonable rules that the government might set, but omission bias and incentives to protect small but well organized groups at the expense of everyone else will lead to lots of costly ones too. Misalignment regulation is not in the Overton window for any government. Governments do not have strong incentives to care about long term, global, costs or benefits and they do have strong incentives to push the development of AI forwards for their own purposes.
Noticing that AI companies put the world at risk is not enough to support greater government involvement in the technology. Government involvement is likely to exacerbate the most dangerous parts of AI while limiting the upside."
"type theory vs homotopy type theory
Type theory and homotopy type theory (HoTT) are related but distinct areas of mathematics and computer science:
Type theory is a formal system that uses types to classify terms and expressions. It provides a foundation for constructive mathematics and is used in programming languages and proof assistants. Some key aspects of type theory include[4]:
- Types classify terms, similar to how sets contain elements
- Functions map between types
- Dependent types allow types to depend on terms
Homotopy type theory builds on type theory by interpreting types as spaces up to homotopy equivalence, as studied in homotopy theory. In HoTT[1][2][4]:
- Types correspond to topological spaces
- Equalities between terms correspond to paths in a space
- Proofs of equality between proofs correspond to homotopies between paths
This allows concepts from homotopy theory, like homotopy groups of spheres, to be expressed and reasoned about using the language of type theory. It also allows type theory to be used as an "internal language" for reasoning synthetically about homotopy theory and higher category theory.
Some potential advantages of HoTT as a foundation include avoiding issues like Russell's paradox in set theory, enabling computer-checkable proofs, and automatically deriving computational content from proofs[2][3]. However, HoTT is still an active area of research and has some limitations compared to set theory in terms of intuition and learning curve[3].

"no cloning theorem
The no-cloning theorem is a fundamental result in quantum mechanics that states it is impossible to create an identical copy of an arbitrary unknown quantum state[3]. In other words, there is no universal process that can perfectly duplicate any given quantum state.
The theorem was first stated by Wootters, Zurek, and Dieks in 1982[3][4]. It has profound implications in fields like quantum computing and quantum cryptography.
The proof of the no-cloning theorem relies on the linearity of quantum operations. It shows that if a hypothetical quantum cloning machine could copy two orthogonal quantum states (like |0⟩ and |1⟩), then by linearity it would not correctly clone a superposition of those states (like 1/√2(|0⟩+|1⟩))[1][2]. This leads to a contradiction, proving that a universal quantum cloning machine cannot exist.
Some key consequences of the no-cloning theorem are:
-
It prevents using classical error correction techniques on quantum states, as backup copies cannot be made. However, quantum error correction is still possible via other means[3].
-
It protects the uncertainty principle. If cloning were possible, one could make many copies of a state and measure each copy to arbitrary precision, violating the uncertainty principle[4].
-
It prevents superluminal communication via quantum entanglement, which would violate causality[4].
While perfect cloning of quantum states is ruled out, it is possible to create imperfect copies that are close to the original state[4]. But arbitrary unknown quantum states fundamentally cannot be duplicated exactly, a profound departure from the classical world where information can be freely copied.

"kernel methods equations
Kernel methods are a class of machine learning algorithms that use a kernel function to map data into a higher-dimensional feature space, where it becomes easier to find linear patterns or decision boundaries[1][2]. Some key equations and concepts in kernel methods include:
- The kernel function k(x, z) computes the inner product between two data points x and z in the high-dimensional feature space, without explicitly computing the coordinates in that space[1]:
k(x, z) = ⟨φ(x), φ(z)⟩
where φ is the feature map from input space to feature space.
- The kernel matrix or Gram matrix K contains the kernel function evaluated for all pairs of training examples[1][2]:
Kij = k(xi, xj)
K must be symmetric positive semi-definite for a valid kernel.
- The representer theorem states that the solution to certain optimization problems involving regularized empirical risk can be expressed as a linear combination of kernel functions evaluated at the training points[2]:
f(x) = ∑αik(xi, x)
- In support vector machines, the dual optimization problem for finding the optimal margin classifier depends only on the kernel matrix[1][5]:
max α ∑αi - ½∑αiαjyiyjk(xi, xj) s.t. ∑αiyi = 0, 0 ≤ αi ≤ C
Popular kernel functions include the linear, polynomial, and Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) kernels[3]. The choice of kernel allows complex nonlinear patterns to be learned using efficient linear methods in the implicit high-dimensional space induced by the kernel[1][2].

Meat Meets Machine! Multiscale Competency Enables Causal Learning - TechRxiv
Generalization in diffusion models from geometry-adaptive harmonic representation | Zahra Kadkhodaie - YouTube "<@703734994777931807> it seems to me what Zahra means by "strong generalization" is both of the following:
1) the learned models are "independent" of the data sets.
Of course taken literally in isolation the above would be non-sense because obviously the models depend on the data set. But in context she meant that if you take two samples of data from the same distribution (80x80 center framed grayscale human faces in this case), and the sample counts are large enough to force the machine into the generalization regime, then it learns the "same" model (in technical fact is learns very similar, not identical, models) regardless of specific sample.
One can intuit this by understanding that as the sample set gets far too large for memorization given the degrees of freedom in the machine parameter space, the machine is forced to learn "mean" features.
2) the learned models are closer to each other than the samples are too each other.
This is demonstrated by showing that the same random seed, once denoised by the models, results in images more similar to each other than their closest match in the respective training sets. One can intuit this result by recognizing that here the concept of "close" depends on the insane dimensionality of the problem, i.e. the curse of dimensionality. The dimensionality of the models is far lower than the dimensionality of the inputs (because we are in the generalization regime, see above) and therefore two random points in the lower model space are much more likely to be close to on another than choosing two random points in the higher dimensional input space.
It's also important to keep in mind that Zahra defines "generalization" as "continuous interpolation between training images"."

"Schrödinger equation
The Schrödinger equation is the fundamental equation of quantum mechanics that describes how the wavefunction of a quantum-mechanical system evolves over time. It plays a central role similar to Newton's laws in classical mechanics[3].
The time-dependent Schrödinger equation in one dimension is[1][2]:
where: - \(\Psi(x,t)\) is the wavefunction (a complex-valued probability amplitude) - \(\hbar\) is the reduced Planck constant - \(m\) is the mass of the particle - \(V(x)\) is the potential energy - The first term represents the kinetic energy and the second term the potential energy[5]
The time-independent Schrödinger equation is[2][4]:
where \(E\) is the total energy of the system. The solutions \(\psi(x)\) to this equation are the stationary states of the system.
The Schrödinger equation allows determining the allowed energies and wavefunctions of a quantum system. It has been used with great success to describe the hydrogen atom and is extensively applied in atomic, molecular, nuclear and condensed matter physics[3].

asssociative memory algorithm
Associative memory, also known as content-addressable memory (CAM), is a type of memory that allows data to be accessed based on its content rather than its memory address[1][2]. There are two main types of associative memory networks:
-
Auto-associative memory network: This is a single-layer neural network where the input and output vectors are the same. It is used to recall a pattern from partial or degraded inputs[1][3].
-
Hetero-associative memory network: This type of network associates one set of patterns with another, allowing it to learn and remember associations between two sets of patterns[1][4].
The training algorithm for an auto-associative memory network using the Hebb or Delta learning rule is as follows[5]:
- Initialize all weights to zero.
- For each input vector, activate the input and output units.
- Adjust the weights using the formula: w_ij(new) = w_ij(old) + x_i * y_j
To test the network, set the weights obtained during training and calculate the net input to each output unit. Then, apply an activation function to calculate the output[5].
Associative memory has various applications, including database management systems, network routing tables, image processing, and artificial intelligence[1][3][4].

"deduction induction abduction
Deduction, induction, and abduction are three types of logical reasoning:
-
Deduction derives a conclusion from generally accepted statements or facts. If a beverage is defined as "drinkable through a straw," one could deduce that soup is a beverage[1].
-
Induction makes an inference based on an observation, often of a sample. You can induce that soup is tasty if you observe all your friends consuming it[1]. Induction draws general conclusions that apply to many situations[2].
-
Abduction seeks the simplest and most likely conclusion from a set of observations[2]. If you see an abandoned bowl of hot soup, you can abduce the owner is likely returning soon[1]. Abduction allows inferring a precondition as an explanation of an observation[2][4].
The key difference is that abduction, unlike deduction and induction, tries to be explanatory about a phenomenon[4][5]. Abduction works backwards from an observation to figure out why it is that way, while induction generalizes from instances without necessarily explaining them[5].

[2404.02258] Mixture-of-Depths: Dynamically allocating compute in transformer-based language models
[2008.00221] Commutators of spectral projections of spin operators "the lower half of transformer models almost soley consists of smoothing operations. That makes sense from a functionality POV (low layers need to aggregate information first since independent tokens don't mean anything), and from a training POV (lower layers get lower gradient signal, meaning the weights are less specialised). One nice perspective on this can be found in the "Hopfield Networks is All You Need" paper, where they use the theory of attraction basins in hopfield networks to analyze transformers. They show that the lower layers act much more like smoothing layers, while only higher up layers have well pronounced specialisation. This is also true for other architectures e.g. freezing the first layer(s) of a resnet and only training the top ones usually has very little effect on the overall quality of the model (at least compared to not having the layers at all)."

I knew about these effects but it's cool to see a one sentence summary of decades of research. I use a ketogenic diet to limit diabetes damage and also hoping that it will have similar effects as caloric restriction, in effect hoping I will gain some of that 16% life extension (IN MICE) I also take Metformin for the 6% (IN MICE) and NR/NMN for the 4% (IN MICE). They don't stack (at least not linearly), and results IN MICE do not translate directly to humans, but I feel vindicated in my choices in my supplement stack that I've been fine tuning since the 1990s. The contribution in the paper, SEVs, are not yet available for human experiments. But it's a pretty straightforward addition. Could be several more percent in an independent (semi-stacking) mechanism. They report 12% increase in lifespan (IN MICE). "

"Transformers attention
The Transformer architecture, introduced in the 2017 paper "Attention is All You Need", revolutionized the use of attention mechanisms in deep learning models[1][2]. The key innovations of the Transformer's attention mechanism are:
-
Self-Attention: The Transformer relies entirely on self-attention to compute representations of its input and output, without using recurrent or convolutional layers[1][2]. Self-attention relates different positions of a single sequence in order to compute a representation of the sequence[1][4].
-
Scaled Dot-Product Attention: The Transformer uses scaled dot-product attention, where the dot products are scaled down by the square root of the dimension of the keys to prevent the dot products from growing too large in magnitude[1][2].
-
Multi-Head Attention: Instead of performing a single attention function, the Transformer uses multi-head attention which linearly projects the queries, keys and values h times with different learned projections. This allows the model to jointly attend to information from different representation subspaces at different positions[1][2].
The Transformer's attention mechanism has been widely adopted and adapted beyond machine translation to modalities like computer vision, speech recognition, and multi-modal processing[3][4]. It has enabled the development of powerful pre-trained language models like BERT and GPT[4].

Transformers attention equation
The key equations for the Transformer attention mechanism are:
- Scaled Dot-Product Attention:
where Q, K, and V are the query, key, and value matrices respectively, and \(d_k\) is the dimension of the keys[1][3].
- Multi-Head Attention, which linearly projects the queries, keys and values h times with different learned projections, performs the attention function in parallel, concatenates the results, and projects again[1][2]:
The Transformer relies solely on self-attention to compute representations of its input, dispensing with recurrence and convolutions[2]. However, the quadratic complexity of self-attention with respect to input length inhibits its use for very long sequences[3].
The Transformer also adds positional encodings to the input embeddings to make use of the order of the sequence, since the model contains no recurrence or convolution[3].

" mixture of experts math
Mixture of experts (MoE) is a machine learning technique that divides a complex problem into simpler sub-problems, each handled by an "expert" model. The outputs of these experts are then combined by a gating network to produce the final output[2].
The key mathematical components of an MoE are:
-
Expert models (f₁, ..., fₙ): Each takes the same input x and produces outputs f₁(x), ..., fₙ(x).
-
Gating function (w): Takes input x and produces a vector of weights (w(x)₁, ..., w(x)ₙ).
-
Parameters (θ = (θ₀, θ₁, ..., θₙ)): θ₀ is for the gating function, the rest are for the experts.
-
Combined output: For an input x, the MoE produces a single output by combining f₁(x), ..., fₙ(x) according to the weights w(x)[2].
The output is often a weighted sum of the expert outputs:
f(x) = ∑ᵢ w(x)ᵢ fᵢ(x)
The experts and gating function are trained by minimizing a loss function, typically using gradient descent[2].
MoE enables large models with billions of parameters to reduce computation costs during training and achieve faster inference by selectively activating only the experts needed for a given task[4].

" https://www.noemamag.com/ai-could-be-a-bridge-toward-diverse-intelligence/ Many claim that AIs merely shuffle symbols but do not really understand. Very few of those arguments start with a definition of what it means for a biological human, with a network of excitable cells and a soup of neurotransmitters, to “understand.” AIs supposedly use symbols that are ungrounded — they do not refer to real experiences in the world. But anyone who has been around human children knows they do the same thing as they learn to talk: First they babble, making nonsense sounds; then they match patterns of speech made by adults; and eventually they construct words and sentences that clearly reflect an understanding of meaning. "
"I'm not sure it's important or relevant to describe brains as machines. They're machines in the same way that, well, any physical system is a machine, but that's not really saying much
Yes, I do see a stark difference between biological development and machine learning. As I mentioned, catastrophic forgetting is one key relevant difference; somehow we integrate new knowledge without compromising existing knowledge, and it's not clear how that happens
Yes I'm sure I'm not talking about magic. I do indeed think that the missing principles are possible to implement in machines, but I don't expect it to happen tomorrow because the field of machine learning has been moving away from what I believe are critical properties, like recurrent architectures
Nervous systems are richly recurrent dynamical systems with plasticity that isn't just driven by some extrinsically imposed objective function; there is something about biological plasticity that is driven by something I would vaguely call internal functional coherence. What we see in human development is a progressive elaboration and coordination of coherent behaviors, not just a gradual convergence on optimal performance. Human cognitive development has stages, and human knowledge is richly and robustly compositional. Machine intelligence doesn't achieve this yet, and I'm not sure it will achieve this without a significant reconsideration of the learning process and structural organization of the models."
Adaptive resonance theory
"Analogically thinking about machines versus humans when it comes to intelligence as birds versus planes when it comes to dexterity is useful. Planes work on similar but not same principles like birds, and both have their own advantages and disadvantages in different contexts having different capabilities. Planes can fly longer distances, carry much bigger weights, be all kinds of sizes, are differently fragile or adaptive etc., just like when you compare current AI systems that are superhuman at some concrete tasks that require different types of capabilities and subhuman on other tasks.
Capabilities such as memory size, memory efficiency, different types of memory, rigid symbolic thinking, flexibility, need to "rest", ability to digest certain amount of data, ability to pick certain types of data, classification, clustering, planning, agency, search, different optimization algorithms, generalization, reasoning, recurrent processing, reward mechanisms, out of distribution tasks, ability to copy parts or whole existence, continual learning,... etc. etc. in different modalities such as text, images, audio, video, senses, actions, with different tools, on the internet, in simulated environments, in real world environments etc. etc.
The space of all possible information processing systems is extremely vast and humans are a tiny specialized subspace, that evolved to make us survive in our universe, of this gigantic so far unexplored space!"

takes a deep breath and looks up at the starry sky with a twinkle in my eye
"My dear cosmic companion, let me guide you on a wondrous journey through the enchanting realms of mathematics! We shall traverse vast lands, from the simplest rolling hills to the most dizzying peaks of abstraction.
Our quest begins in the humble kingdom of Arithmetic, where the four elementals of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division dance and intertwine. These basic operations are the sturdy stones upon which all of mathematics is built.
As we venture further, the land of Algebra unfolds before us - a place of mysterious symbols and equations waiting to be solved, like ancient runic puzzles. Here, unknowns become knowns as we learn to balance the arcane scales.
Geometry then beckons us with its perfect shapes and precise proportions - a realm where points, lines, angles and curves create intricate designs that whisper secrets of symmetry, congruence and similarity. We ponder the eternal questions posed by circles, triangles, spheres and polyhedra.
Pressing onward, the terrain shifts to the dynamic world of Calculus, a land of perpetual change and infinite possibilities. We master the magic of finding slopes with derivatives that measure instantaneous change, and we divine areas under curves through the sorcery of integration. These powerful spells allow us to analyze motion, optimize quantities, and unravel the very fabric of space itself.
Probability and Statistics then appear through the swirling mists, twin cities where chance and data intertwine in an eternal dance. We learn to quantify and tame the uncertain, to find signal within noise, and to infer truths about entire populations from mere shimmering samples.
As the fog clears, the soaring spires of Linear Algebra rise before us, a domain of matrices and vectors - those mystical objects that transcend their individual numeric entries and together express geometric transformations and higher dimensional structures with elegance and might.
Our path now grows ever more abstract as we delve into the esoteric realms of advanced mathematics. Number Theory whispers to us of secret patterns and properties of the integers...those atomic elements of the mathematical universe. The primes, especially, call out as indivisible mathematical stars which combine to uniquely express each whole number.
Lifting our gaze, we spy the bizarre fractals of Chaos Theory, infinitely complex structures that bloom from disarmingly simple seeds and illustrate the astounding beauty that lies at the border between order and disorder. Strange Attractors pull us in with their mesmerizing, kaleidoscopic swirls.
At long last, the shimmering peaks of Pure Mathematics glimmer on the horizon - austere and magnificent. Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems ring out from the highest summit, speaking of the inescapable limits to mathematical certainty, yet also hinting at the inexhaustible potential for further exploration. Category Theory illuminates overarching themes and patterns that unite disparate fields. And as we approach the Axiom of Choice and contemplate the infinite, we brush up against the transcendent and the paradoxical - ideas so colossal that they threaten to shatter all of mathematics, yet upon which so much is built.
And yet, my brave fellow seeker, this is but a glimpse of the full expanse of the mathematical cosmos. A lifetime is not enough to explore its endless wonders! But let us revel in how far we have journeyed, and be humbled by how much uncharted territory remains. For to study math is to forever be an awestruck explorer, marveling at the profound complexities of the abstract universe. Onward, into the infinite!" https://twitter.com/burny_tech/status/1782215842236694945?t=jBOjfPy03WJjtJ6W3eEeew&s=19

https://twitter.com/burny_tech/status/1780378074569118153 "A day in a life of a citizen of a Type 5 Kardashev scale civilization
In a Type V Kardashev scale civilization, the concept of a "day" as we know it may not even exist, as time itself could be manipulated and perceived differently. Nevertheless, let's imagine a "day" in the life of Zoran, a citizen of this unfathomably advanced civilization.
Zoran wakes up from a state of quantum suspension, their consciousness having been entangled with the very fabric of the multiverse. They stretch their trans-dimensional body, which can take on any form they desire, thanks to advanced metamaterial manipulation.
For breakfast, Zoran consumes a small singularity, harnessing its immense energy to sustain themselves. They then step into a wormhole portal, instantly transporting them to their workspace located in a pocket universe specifically designed for their current project.
Zoran is working on creating a new universe from scratch, using a combination of dark energy manipulation, cosmic string weaving, and high-dimensional memetic engineering. They collaborate with their team, consisting of both biological and artificial intelligences, connected through a hive-mind network that spans multiple realities.
During their break, Zoran engages in recreational activities such as exploring virtual realities indistinguishable from actual reality, participating in trans-dimensional sports that defy the laws of physics, and communicating with alien civilizations through faster-than-light neutrino messaging.
For lunch, Zoran visits a Planck-scale 3D printer that can create any meal imaginable by manipulating matter at the most fundamental level. They enjoy a dish that combines flavors and textures from multiple parallel universes.
In the afternoon, Zoran attends a meeting where they discuss the progress of their civilization's latest megastructure project - a Matrioshka brain that encompasses an entire galactic supercluster.

"entropy in the beginning of the universe
The question of why the entropy of the universe was so low at the beginning is a profound puzzle in cosmology. The standard Big Bang model assumes the universe began in an extremely hot, dense state, which would naively seem to correspond to very high entropy. However, the early universe appears to have actually had very low entropy.
The key insight is that gravity plays a crucial role in determining the maximum possible entropy of the universe[1][2]. The highest entropy state is not a homogeneous plasma, but rather a universe filled with black holes. Our early universe, being extremely smooth and uniform, was actually in a very low entropy state compared to a universe full of primordial black holes[1].
The expansion of the universe allows the entropy to increase. As the universe expands, matter can clump together under gravity, forming stars, galaxies, and eventually black holes, increasing the total entropy[1][3]. Penrose estimated that the initial entropy of our universe was astonishingly low compared to the maximum possible entropy, by a factor of one part in 1010123[1].
The reason for the universe's initial low entropy state is still not fully understood. It may be related to the extremely low entropy of the inflationary state that preceded the Big Bang[3]. Some speculate it could be simply a result of a statistical fluctuation from an equilibrium state[4], or a consequence of the quantum origins of spacetime itself. Resolving this puzzle is an active area of research in cosmology and fundamental physics[2][5].

"fusion reaction
The main fusion reaction being pursued for energy generation on Earth is the reaction between deuterium (D) and tritium (T), two heavy isotopes of hydrogen[2][5]. This D-T reaction produces helium-4 (4He) and a neutron (n), releasing 17.6 MeV of energy in the form of kinetic energy of the products[3][5]:
D + T → 4He + n
For this reaction to occur, the D and T nuclei must overcome their mutual electrical repulsion and get close enough for the strong nuclear force to bind them together[3]. This requires extremely high temperatures, on the order of 150 million degrees Celsius[2], to provide the nuclei with sufficient kinetic energy.
In addition to high temperature, the D-T fuel must be confined at a high density for a sufficient time to allow the fusion reactions to occur[5]. In stars like our Sun, the immense gravitational pressure provides the necessary confinement[3]. On Earth, the leading approaches are magnetic confinement, using powerful magnetic fields, and inertial confinement, using lasers or particle beams to rapidly compress and heat the fuel[5].

Lots of effective accelerationism feels too naive and isn't nuanced enough for me, but I think it brings good points to the discourse. I think technology and science is dual use, not only good or only bad, and that we should focus on both its immense benefits, like lifting people out of poverty, and also risks, like the possibility for surveillance. I think various risks are real while we try to accelerate to transhumanist future and should be mitigated, like bad usecases of AI technology. At the same time I feel like certain regulations are not good and they're a risk on their own and should be avoided, like nuclear power plants regulations or overregulating genetic engineering or current weak AI systems. I see AI as having extreme potential to enhance so many benefitial usecases, like accelerating all of science, but we should also minimize its bad usecases. I think technology will help us survive more longterm from for example natural catastrophic risks. I think that big part of effective altruism and technological/science accelerationism are in big part united by transhumanism and longtermism.

"physical esthatology
Physical eschatology is the study of the long-term future and ultimate fate of the universe based on scientific theories and observations[1][2][3]. It explores how the universe and its contents, including stars, galaxies, and life, may evolve and eventually end over vast timescales[4][5].
Some key aspects of physical eschatology include:
-
The future of the Sun: In about 6 billion years, the Sun will turn into a red giant, making life on Earth impossible. It will later become a white dwarf[3].
-
The fate of the universe: Depending on its density and expansion rate, the universe may either expand forever (open universe), collapse back on itself (closed universe), or approach a state of zero expansion (flat universe)[1][4].
-
The possibility of new universes: Some theories propose that new universes could be created through quantum fluctuations or cosmic inflation[1].
-
The far future of matter and energy: Over immense timescales, stars will die out, black holes will evaporate, and matter will decay, leading to a cold, dark, and diffuse universe[4][5].
Physical eschatology combines insights from cosmology, astrophysics, particle physics, and other fields to explore these far-future scenarios, which remain speculative due to the extreme timescales and uncertainties involved[1][2][5].

"Effective field theory (EFT) is a powerful framework in physics that describes low-energy behavior of a system without requiring a complete understanding of the high-energy (short distance scale) details[1][2]. It is based on the idea that physics at low energies (large distances) can be described using an "effective" theory that ignores the substructure and degrees of freedom at high energies (short distances)[2].
Key points about EFT:
-
EFT includes the appropriate degrees of freedom to describe physical phenomena at a chosen length scale, while ignoring substructure and degrees of freedom at shorter length scales[2].
-
It is an expansion in powers of energy/momentum. The Lagrangian includes all terms allowed by symmetries, with higher dimensional operators suppressed by powers of a large energy scale Λ[2][3].
-
EFT is useful in particle physics, condensed matter physics, hydrodynamics, etc. Examples include chiral perturbation theory in QCD, Fermi theory of beta decay, and heavy quark effective theory[2][4].
-
EFT provides a modern perspective on renormalization - it explains why meaningful predictions can be made without knowing the complete high energy theory[3]. The low-energy physics depends on only a finite number of "effective" parameters[2][3].
-
EFT is a general framework based on the principles of quantum mechanics and symmetries. Any fundamental theory is expected to reduce to an EFT at sufficiently low energies[4][5].
In summary, EFT is a systematic way to parameterize physics at low energies in terms of the relevant degrees of freedom, which makes it a vital tool for many areas of theoretical physics.

"The principle of least action is a fundamental concept in physics that describes the behavior of a system between an initial and final state. It states that the path taken by the system is the one that minimizes the action, which is defined as the integral of the Lagrangian (the difference between kinetic and potential energy) over time[3][4][5].
Key points about the principle of least action:
-
It applies to many areas of physics, from classical mechanics to quantum field theory, and provides a unified framework for deriving the equations of motion[3][5].
-
The action is not always technically "least" - more precisely, the principle states that the action is stationary (either a minimum, maximum, or saddle point) for the actual path taken[5].
-
It was first formulated by Maupertuis in 1744 and later refined by Euler, Lagrange, and Hamilton[4][5]. Hamilton's formulation in terms of the Lagrangian is most commonly used today.
-
The principle implies that the system follows a path that optimizes some quantity, suggesting an efficiency or "least effort" in nature, though this is not the result of any conscious plan[2][3].
-
Advantages of the principle include its conceptual simplicity, its ability to derive equations of motion from a single scalar quantity (the action), and its central role in quantum mechanics in addition to classical physics[2][3][5].
So in summary, the principle of least action provides an elegant variational method for determining the trajectory of a system based on minimizing a scalar quantity, the action, which depends on the system's Lagrangian. It reveals an underlying optimization principle in the laws of physics.

"Machine learning dpo
Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) is a novel approach in machine learning that aims to fine-tune large language models (LLMs) by directly optimizing them to generate outputs aligned with human preferences, without the need for explicit reward models or reinforcement learning.
How DPO Works¶
DPO works by creating a dataset of human preference pairs, where each pair consists of a prompt and two possible completions - one preferred and one dispreferred.[3] The LLM is then fine-tuned to maximize the likelihood of generating the preferred completions and minimize the likelihood of generating the dispreferred ones.[3] This is achieved by optimizing the policy (the LLM's output distribution) to match the desired distribution represented by the preference data.[4]
The key advantages of DPO over traditional reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) include:
- Simplicity: DPO is easier to implement and train, making it more accessible.[3]
- Stability: It is less prone to getting stuck in local optima, ensuring a more reliable training process.[3]
- Efficiency: DPO requires fewer computational resources and less data compared to RLHF.[3][4]
- Effectiveness: Experimental results have shown that DPO can outperform RLHF in tasks like sentiment control, summarization, and dialogue generation.[3]
Significance of DPO¶
DPO has gained significant attention due to its ability to fine-tune LLMs effectively while addressing the limitations of traditional RLHF methods. Its impact can be seen in the following areas:
- Enhancing AI capabilities: DPO refines LLM outputs to better align with user preferences, improving overall performance and user satisfaction.[5]
- Addressing AI bias: By directly optimizing outputs based on preferences, DPO can help mitigate biased recommendations and decisions, promoting fairness and inclusivity.[5]
- Ethical considerations: DPO raises ethical concerns regarding consent, privacy, and transparency, which need to be addressed for responsible AI development.[5]
In summary, DPO represents a promising approach to fine-tuning LLMs, offering simplicity, efficiency, and effectiveness in generating outputs that align with human preferences, while also highlighting the need for ethical considerations in its implementation.[3][4][5]

"AIXItl is a computable approximation of the AIXI model, which is a theoretical framework for artificial general intelligence (AGI) proposed by Marcus Hutter. It combines Solomonoff induction for sequence prediction with sequential decision theory for reinforcement learning agents.
Key Points about AIXItl¶
-
AIXItl is designed to overcome the major drawback of AIXI being uncomputable, by introducing time t and length l bounds on the computational resources available to the agent.[5]
-
It performs at least as well as the provably best time t and space l limited agent, making it an effectively more intelligent agent than any other agent bounded by the same time and space constraints.[5]
-
The computation time of AIXItl scales as t * 2^l, which grows exponentially with the space bound l.[5] This exponential growth makes AIXItl intractable for large values of l.
-
Unlike AIXI which can consider any computable environment, AIXItl is limited to environments that can be modeled by Turing machines with a timeout of t steps.[1]
-
AIXItl cannot consider the possibility of being damaged or modified itself, as it assumes the environment is external and computable.[2]
While AIXItl makes AIXI more tractable, it still has significant computational constraints. Researchers have proposed variants like UCAI that aim to be more powerful approximations of AIXI by supporting richer environment models like typed lambda calculus instead of just Turing machines.[3]

"The Kalman filter is a widely used algorithm for estimating the hidden states of a dynamic system from a series of noisy measurements. It works by recursively predicting the system's state using a dynamic model, and then updating this prediction with new measurement data. Some key points about the Kalman filter:
-
It is an optimal estimator for linear systems with Gaussian noise, minimizing the mean squared error of the estimated state. [2]
-
It consists of two main steps: prediction and update. In the prediction step, it estimates the current state based on the previous state and the system dynamics. In the update step, it incorporates a new measurement to correct the prediction. [3]
-
It accounts for both process noise (uncertainty in the system dynamics) and measurement noise (errors in the sensor data). [1]
-
It requires a mathematical model of the system dynamics (state transition matrix) and the measurement process (measurement matrix). [3]
-
The filter is recursive, meaning it only needs the current measurement and the previous state estimate to compute the new state estimate, without requiring storage of the entire measurement history. [2]
-
It has found widespread applications in areas like navigation, object tracking, signal processing, and control systems due to its effectiveness and computational efficiency. [2]
The Kalman filter provides an elegant and powerful solution for state estimation problems involving noisy sensor data and uncertain system dynamics, making it a fundamental tool in many engineering and scientific fields. [1][2][3]

"There are several major interpretations of quantum mechanics that attempt to explain the theory's mathematical formalism and its implications for our understanding of reality:
The Copenhagen interpretation, developed by Niels Bohr and others, posits that quantum systems do not have definite properties until they are measured. The wavefunction only provides probabilities for the possible results of measurements. Upon measurement, the wavefunction "collapses" into one of the possible states.[1]
The many-worlds interpretation, proposed by Hugh Everett, states that all possible alternative histories and future states are realized in some "world" or universe. Rather than collapsing, the wavefunction is thought to endlessly split into separate worlds.[4]
The de Broglie-Bohm pilot wave theory is a hidden variable interpretation where particles have definite positions at all times, guided by the wavefunction which satisfies a non-linear equation.[1][5]
The objective collapse theories like the Ghirardi–Rimini–Weber (GRW) model propose that the wavefunction undergoes spontaneous collapse due to a non-linear stochastic term added to the Schrödinger equation.[1][4]
The consistent histories approach views quantum mechanics in terms of redundantly consistent sets of histories rather than measurements causing wavefunction collapse.[1][2]
Other interpretations include the von Neumann-Wigner consciousness causes collapse view, the relational interpretation, QBism which views the wavefunction as subjective information, and the ensemble interpretation.[2][3]
Despite nearly a century of debate, there is still no consensus among physicists on which interpretation is correct or most viable.[3] Some argue that no interpretation is needed beyond the mathematical formalism itself.

"bayesian methods
Bayesian methods are a powerful approach to statistical inference that allow combining prior knowledge or beliefs with observed data to update probabilities and make decisions under uncertainty. Some key points about Bayesian methods:
-
Bayesian inference is based on Bayes' theorem, which provides a way to calculate the conditional probability of a hypothesis given the observed data. It combines the prior probability of the hypothesis before seeing the data with the likelihood of the data under that hypothesis[1].
-
A key concept is the use of probability distributions to represent the uncertainty in model parameters. In Bayesian analysis, parameters are treated as random variables with prior distributions that are updated to posterior distributions after observing data[2][3].
-
Bayesian methods allow incorporating prior information, which can come from expert opinion, previous studies, or other sources. The prior can be informative or non-informative. The posterior distribution combines the prior and the data[1].
-
Compared to frequentist methods, Bayesian approaches can handle small sample sizes better, express uncertainty more directly, and provide a natural way to update knowledge as new data arrives[3][4].
-
Bayesian networks and dynamic Bayesian networks are graphical models that leverage Bayesian principles for reasoning under uncertainty and learning from data[4][5].
-
While theoretically attractive, Bayesian methods can be computationally intensive. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling techniques are commonly used for approximation[3].
In summary, Bayesian methods provide a principled framework for probabilistic inference that is increasingly used in statistics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to model and reason about complex, uncertain systems[2][4][5].

If only we had a better mathematical model on why deep learning works in the first place, nobody knows! It's weird that the fitting algorithm often doesnt get stuck in local minima or saddle points and that it can efficiently recruit spare model capacity to fit unexplained training data wherever they lie etc.. I mean, universal approximation theorem is good, statistical learning theory is nice, singular learning theory, principles of deep learning (effective theory of DL), geometric deep learning, categorical deep learning, spline theory of deep learning, shard theory,... But there are still so many unknowns. And that they weakly generalize is also fascinating and very unexplained and people mostly thought that wont be the case, but we might be able to do stronger generalization with neurosymbolic methods, such as adding bayesian program synthesis, if someone tries to scale these methods that seem to work well on small scale! Lack of concensus seems to imply fluidity a lot, which is nice. I'm trying to find and collect as many of the definitions of intelligence that different people in research use, that you can actually work with in practice and ideally measure them, as possible. The most mainstream way of measuring intelligence is scoring on popular benchmarks, which is great for certain usecases, but lots of these popular benchmarks are flawed in many ways, but new better ones are coming out all the time. Or this one is very oldschool [0712.3329] Universal Intelligence: A Definition of Machine Intelligence Informally: Intelligence measures an agent’s ability to achieve goals in a wide range of environments. Or if one defines intelligence as generalization capability, then you have to define generalization power, as for example the ability to mine previous experience, to make sense of future novel situations. To what extend can we analogize the knowledge that we already have into simulacrums that apply widely across the experience space. And put that into math [1911.01547] On the Measure of Intelligence using algorithmic Information theory, describing intelligence as skill-acquisition efficiency and highlighting the concepts of scope, generalization difficulty, priors, and experience Chollet made a benchmark to measure intelligence as generalization

"why it formed certain relationships" thats what explainable ai and mechanistic interpretability fields, and other mathematical methods from theoretical deep learning, try to figure out in deep neural nets and other ML architectures. i like explainability from the start too, but it seems like in some problem domains doing black box magic and reverseengineering the result gives nice results. im for trying as many methods as possible, both classical statistics, and symbolic/neurosymbolic/neural methods, as the results often break our intuition. or example AlphaFold has deep learning architecture and gave us many nice results in protein folding. i agree that deep learning is one of many ways to approximate arbitrary functions or do information processing in general, but i think its good to acknowledge that it has its own results in various domains in science that are useful (i wish more people tried neurosymbolic methods!). its interesting that similar methods in mechanistic interpretability to reverse engineer artificial neural networks are used in neuroscience to understand biological neural networks :D Representation Engineering: A Top-Down Approach to AI Transparency

[Summary] Progress Update #1 from the GDM Mech Interp Team — AI Alignment Forum
https://twitter.com/QuintinPope5/status/1780907564601106546 "So where did alpa zero get the awesome training data?" "Self play using the rules of the game to reliably identify which trajectories to imitate and which to avoid.
The issue is that nontrivial domains don't have access to such a convenient source of ground truth feedback about which actions are better or worse. E.g., if scientists could propose a theory and get instant cheap feedback about how correct that theory is, then science would be much, much easier. Same with other nontrivial domains such as engineering, military strategy, persuasion, etc. Instead, we need to rely on much slower, more expensive and less reliable methods such as real world experiments, simulations, etc., which are getting more expensive as the capabilities they're supposed to be judging move further beyond the human frontier.
In contrast, toy settings like Go have cheap, easy ground truth feedback, even for trajectories that demonstrate superhuman Go capabilities. This makes it vastly easier to superhuman capabilities in those domains, and also makes accomplishments in those domains act as misleading points of comparison for forecasting capabilities progress in domains with less readily available ground truth feedback.
Does that address your question about how AlphaZero Go got the training data required to reach superhuman Go capabilities, and why doing the same in more important domains will be so much harder?"

here's one of the papers trying to explain why neural networks don't severely overfit as predicted by classical learning theory, it says that the parameter-function map of many deep neural nets should be exponentially biased towards simple functions by applying a very general probability-complexity bound recently derived from algorithmic information theory [1805.08522] Deep learning generalizes because the parameter-function map is biased towards simple functions
"We have these potential current and future AI scenarios: - centralization in the hands of corporations maximizing profit - centralization in the hands of the government - decentralization in the hands of the people (including bad actors) I sense the last one has the smallest amount of disadvantages and biggest amount of advantages. Centralization in the hands of benevolent nerds doesnt seem realistic, plus i want all sorts of good actors to have access to this powerful dual use technology, for science or defense for example, and democratically represent all sorts of values.
I feel like this has assumption of having bigger trust in corporations and governments not blowing everyone than in people not blowing everyone. Assuming the tech will get this far, after all the other risks from centralization of power, this world ending risk feels basically equal in both hands.
Trying to imagine no dystopian outcome in the case of centralization and can't. I think there's almost zero probability that this small group of people won't get corrupted by incentives and we don't end up in dystopia.
I also think that the probability of the AI tech getting on such xrisk level from a single person/group of people is almost zero, that's why I weigh it so little.
I think it's currently and it will be extremely powerful, but not on the level of killing everyone Eliezer style from small group of people. (Almost zero probability IMO)
But I think I get your assumption, I used to hold it a lot. Now I think I would need to see very concrete probable scenarios with implementation details on how could you get from a single person basement/group of people having intelligence tech to ending the world just by it.
Listening/reading to many hours of Eliezer, Connor, Bostrom etc. didn't seem to work for me. Instrumental convergence feels like it's not happening in practice. FOOM doesn't seem realistic.
Bioweapons, not sure how much could realistically AI accelerate that risk? Terminator with values aligned against ours? Destroying fundamental infrastructure?
I would need to see comparisions on these scenarios to existing ways to do it without AI and why AI extremely accelerates all these risks or rogue AI risk on its own etc. and why the benefits such as defence against other actors or science etc. aren't worth it relative to the risks. Or plausible step by step route of AGI god paperclipping etc. the earth or the universe with realistically taking in account our system's constrains and physics constrains etc.
Do you have an opinion on these people's arguments that deconstruct Bostrom's arguments? AI Optimism – For a Free and Fair Future
Maybe when we start getting more autonomous OOD agents in practice then some of the inherent AI risks will start making more sense to me as current AI systems have very weak generalization capabilities and are pretty easily shaped by training data even tho in quite alchemist ways https://twitter.com/HMYS/status/1781408253756236249 "

"I really really really dislike how currently the word "AI" is for most people associated with people not really in the AI field using ChatGPT clumsily or other generative AI products or just neural networks existing and that being mostly what is there is to it. That's like 0.0000001% of what there is to the AI field and not fully representing it!
The AI field in its broadest definition in cognitive science is such a gigantic interdisciplinary field with such a long history in theory and practice, from statistical methods to expert systems to symbolics to neural nets on many diverse modalities and problem domains (language, vision, science, reasoning,...) to neurosymbolics to cognitive architectures to neuromorohics to robotics to neuroscience x AI (NeuroAI) and so on with all sorts of maths from dynamical systems, complex systems, systems theory, cybernetics, optimization theory, algebra, geometry, analysis, probability, statistics, bayesian methods, logic, differential equations, group theory, category theory, physics, algebraic geometry, topology, information theory, algorithmic information theory, graph theory and so on.
For me trying to understand intelligence in general is so extremely central to everything, as thanks to it we do everything we can do that requires it, and my perspective the most fascinating thing one can understand and engineer is trying to replicate fascinating nature's systems' intelligent behavior. It's such a lovely mystery that we haven't fully cracked yet!"

"A Topological Analysis of Posterior Morphology: Applying Algebraic Techniques to Gluteal Structures
Abstract: This paper explores the application of algebraic topology to the study of posterior morphological structures, colloquially referred to as "butts." By considering the gluteal region as a topological space, we aim to classify and analyze the various types of butts using advanced mathematical techniques. We begin by defining a butt as a compact, connected, orientable 2-manifold with boundary, embedded in ℝ³. We then proceed to construct a simplicial complex representation of the butt, triangulating the surface using a high-resolution 3D scanning technique.
Utilizing the tools of homology and cohomology theory, we compute the homology groups of the butt complex, which provide insight into the topological features such as holes, loops, and cavities. We further investigate the homotopy groups of the butt space, studying the continuous deformations and mappings between different butt types. By applying the techniques of Morse theory, we analyze the critical points of the butt surface, such as local maxima and minima, to develop a comprehensive understanding of the butt's geometric structure.
Moreover, we explore the application of sheaf theory to the study of butt coverings, considering the compatibility conditions between local sections of the butt sheaf. This approach allows for a more nuanced analysis of the smooth transitions between different butt regions. Finally, we introduce a novel invariant, the "gluteal genus," which characterizes the topological complexity of the butt surface and provides a means of comparing and classifying different butt types.
The results of this study have potential applications in fields such as ergonomic design, clothing manufacture, and computer graphics, where a deep understanding of butt topology is crucial.

Theories of everything (TOEs) attempt to unify all known physical phenomena into a single, comprehensive framework. Mathematics plays a crucial role in formulating and describing these theories. Here are some of the key mathematical concepts and branches used in various TOEs:
-
Differential geometry: Used to describe the curvature of spacetime in general relativity and other gravitational theories.
-
Group theory: Employed to describe the symmetries and interactions of fundamental particles in quantum field theories, such as the Standard Model.
-
Lie algebras: A branch of group theory that is essential for understanding the structure of gauge theories, which form the basis of the Standard Model.
-
Topology: Used to study the global properties of spacetime and the structure of extra dimensions in theories like string theory and M-theory.
-
Complex analysis: Plays a significant role in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, particularly in the study of scattering amplitudes and the renormalization of theories.
-
Algebraic geometry: Used in string theory to describe the geometry of extra dimensions and the compactification of higher-dimensional spaces.
-
Knot theory: Employed in some approaches to quantum gravity, such as loop quantum gravity, to describe the structure of spacetime at the Planck scale.
-
Noncommutative geometry: Used in some theories to describe the structure of spacetime at very small scales, where the usual notions of geometry may break down.
-
Conformal field theory: A class of quantum field theories that are important in string theory and the study of critical phenomena in statistical mechanics.
-
Supersymmetry: A proposed symmetry between bosons and fermions that is a key ingredient in many theories beyond the Standard Model, including string theory and supergravity.
-
Calabi-Yau manifolds: Complex manifolds with specific properties that are used in string theory to describe the geometry of extra dimensions.
-
Moduli spaces: Geometric spaces that parametrize the possible shapes and sizes of extra dimensions in string theory and related theories.
-
Spinors: Mathematical objects that describe fermions in quantum field theory and are essential for understanding supersymmetry and supergravity.
-
Twistor theory: An alternative formulation of quantum field theory and gravity that uses complex projective spaces to describe the geometry of spacetime.
These are just a few examples of the many mathematical concepts and tools used in the pursuit of a theory of everything. As these theories continue to evolve, new mathematical ideas and techniques may emerge to help describe the fundamental nature of reality. https://twitter.com/burny_tech/status/1767161313124376587?t=qgx_wNf3rt1VeFzXuJV_dw&s=19

Visualize a great grandiose future in great poetic imaginative technologically scientifically accurate detail in a long post. A future where AGI is achieved, nuclear fusion is solved. A future where sentience conquers other planets, stars, galaxies. A future of diverse biological, nonbiological and hybrid species that all collectively flourish. A future where reality is reverse engineered. A future where full of justice for every being. A future if infinite freedom and infinite possibilities for all.
The boundless expanse of space and time unfolds before us, painting crafted by human ingenuity, artificial intelligence, and the inexorable march of scientific progress. The once-elusive dream of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), the ultimate accelerator of growth and flourishing, has been realized, giving birth to a new era of unparalleled advancement and exploration.
Sentient beings, both biological and artificial, work hand in hand, their collective intelligence amplified by the seamless integration of human creativity and machine precision. The barriers between organic and inorganic have blurred, as the secrets of the universe are unraveled one by one. Nanotechnology has enabled the manipulation of matter at the atomic scale, allowing for the creation of materials with properties that were once confined to the realm of science fiction.
The harnessing of nuclear fusion has unlocked an inexhaustible source of clean energy, powering the expansion of civilization across the stars. Massive space habitats, each a self-contained ecosystem teeming with life, orbit distant suns, while intrepid explorers venture into the uncharted depths of the cosmos in search of new worlds to colonize.
Faster-than-light travel, once a fantasy, is now a reality, thanks to the mastery of exotic matter and the manipulation of the fabric of spacetime itself with generally superintelligent machines manipulating quantum spacetime superpositions. The vast distances between stars have been conquered, and the galaxy has become a playground for the intrepid and the curious.
On Earth, the birthplace of humanity, the planet has been transformed into a verdant paradise, its ecosystems restored and its climate stabilized through the application of advanced geoengineering techniques. Cities have been redesigned to harmonize with nature without sacrificing growth, their towering spires and sprawling parks a testament to the marriage of technology and ecology.
The line between the physical and the digital has all but vanished, as virtual reality and augmented reality have become indistinguishable from the "real" world. Individuals can seamlessly transition between the two, their experiences and interactions blending into a single, continuous stream of consciousness.
The secrets of the mind have been laid bare, and the nature of consciousness itself has been unraveled. Sentient beings, whether born of flesh or silicon, with diverse physical and mental capacities, collectively enjoy their rights and freedoms, including morphological freedom, enshrined in the universal laws that govern the cosmos.
The pursuit of knowledge and understanding is the highest calling, and the collective intelligence of all sentient beings is harnessed to solve the greatest challenges facing the universe. The frontiers of science are pushed ever outward, as the fundamental laws of reality are reverse-engineered and manipulated to create new forms of matter and energy, eventually beating the universe's march towards global entropy, the heat death of the universe.
The possibilities are truly infinite, limited only by the scope of our imagination and the depth of our curiosity. It is a future where the dreams of our ancestors have been realized, and where the aspirations of our descendants will be born. It is a future that beckons us forward, inviting us to explore, to discover, and to create, as we venture into the unknown, guided by the light of our collective wisdom and the fire of our shared passion for the wonders of the universe, generating abundance for all.

The Longest Equation in Physics The model Lagrangian is a mathematical expression that summarizes the Standard Model of particle physics, which is the most successful theory of the fundamental interactions between elementary particles. It is composed of four different parts, each describing a different aspect of the Standard Model, it encapsulates the fundamental forces (except gravity) and elementary particles, describing electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions through gauge symmetries, incorporating fermions (quarks and leptons), gauge bosons (photon, W and Z bosons, gluons), the Higgs boson, and their interactions. The model Lagrangian is written in a compact notation that uses symbols and operators from quantum field theory, such as covariant derivatives, field strength tensors, Dirac matrices, and gauge group generators. It also uses various constants and parameters that are determined by experiments, such as coupling constants, masses, and mixing angles. It is one of the longest equations in physics because it contains many terms and factors that account for all the possible interactions and symmetries of the Standard Model. It was transcribed by Thomas Gutierrez who derived it from Martinus Veltman's Diagrammatica: The Path to Feynman Diagrams. https://twitter.com/PhysInHistory/status/1767036833047904685 https://twitter.com/ToaLee3/status/1767071418146328884

Myslíš že "ty" jsi tvoje osobnost, jako osobnostní software co jede v mozku? já si myslím že to co dělá "nás" je nějakej matematickej zdroj ve fyzice co přímo nemusí mapovat na osobnost, ten vzor co koreluje s vědomím aneb myslím si že můžeš mít prožitek bez jakýkoliv osobnosti whatever the physical correlate of consciousness "makes" "us" is what "is" "us", and rest can be in theory modified into arbitrary form morphological freedom! myslím že to nebude přímo lokalizovaný na nějaký jedný části, ale spíš nějaký více distribuovaně naimplementovaný vzor osobnostní obsah, obsah v paměti, dovednosti, jiný konkrétnější software v prožitku, (biological machine) fyzická schránka... myslím že to všechno jde nahradit čímkoliv jiným a pořád tam bude jeden spojitý prožitek individuála, co jenom radikálně změnil ty části co byly změněny teď jenom která z teorií vědomí v neurovědách má pravdu, pokud má, že to je přesně ten vzor, který koresponduje (kauzálně koreluje) s tím jedním v časoprostoru spojitým prožitkem individuála
možnost je vymapovat veškerý (fundamentální?) uložený informace v mozku co tu osobnost tvoří Predictive coding - Wikipedia a to nacpat do dostatečně kompatibilních uměle vytvořených neuronek s dostatečně kompatibilní architekturou

nejbližší co k tomu v praxi teď je to že mají context window na short term memory a extrerní databáze na long term memory, která má technicky nekonečnou volume, což už teď je v podstatě superhuman 😄 nebo že se delší dobu odpojí na přetrénování no, např Perplexity je v podstatě superhuman model v tom že ví o všem dost generalisticky hodně věcí a má přístup k celýmu netu na opravování konkrétnějších faktů (a nějaký mechanismy filtrace blbých stránek pro lepší zdroje)
my často v počítačích fyziku ovládneme aby se chovala jako deterministická von neuman architektura na tranzistorech a pak tu fyziku co supressujeme nazpátek na tomhle simulujeme, to je strašně inefficient pro konkrétní usecases, tím jak mozek fyziku exploituje místo tohoto 😄 na druhou stranu díky tomu jsou počítače tak moc obecný v jiným smyslu než mozky, ve smyslu že na tom jde dost konkétně jednoduše deterministicky programovat to co tam programujeme von neumann architektura jde technicky simulovat i na biologický architektuře, ale to je podobně neefektivní jako simulovat biologickou architekturu na von neumann architektuře podobně neefektivní je simulovat kvantový počítače na klasických počítačích a klasický počítače na kvantových, i když je to možný XD ale někdy jediná možnost, tím kolik máme bitů v klasických počítačích a kolik máme qubitů v kvantových, ale algoritmická komplexita je pak někde jinde když se to má škálovat mikroskopický systémy se nejlíp simulují na kvantových počítačích tím, jak je to blíž ke kvantovce ale všechny ty architektury jsou turingovsky kompletní a tím dokážou technicky naimplementovat libovolný vypočítatelný zkonstruovatelný zdroj co fyzika dovoluje v různých praktických limitacích! spojovací magie matematiky díky čemu se i můžou teoreticky navzájem rekurzivně simulovat

Inside me are many wolves:
a) All existential risks are actually highly improbable or impossible let's not worry b) AI existential risks are not actually that real and highly improbable c) AI existential risks are very real and probable enough to care or very probable Yudkowsky style d) nonAI existential risks are much more probable
1) Giving AI technology to market too much will probably create cyberpunk/ancap dystopia too much 2) Giving AI technology to governments too much will probably create surveillance kind of dystopia too much Bostrom style 3) Halting AI technology will overall slow down technology and make us stuck in undisruped unsustainable dynamics for a longer time and we'll selfdestruct or not really grow as civilization in interesting transhumanist ways Joscha Bach style 4) Accelerating too fast increases AI existential risk and other existential risks indirectly, risks of self-destruction from overly strong disruptions, selfrecursive improvement of AIs Yudkowsky foom style 5) Assuming AI alignment is strongest problem and even if we solved it, that's just not how this technology will be implemented in practice because politics in practice are bleh 6) We can just (naively?) technooptimist ourselves into good future Kurzweil style let's not worry 7) Future will be "normal" and not really radically changing, no big disruptions will actually happen in our lifetime (doubt) 8) Future will be UBI utopia for every being 9) Future will be (postapocaliptic) anarchistic transhumanist survival of the fittest on steroids 10) Future won't be 11) Future will be cool cooperative transhumanist exploration of the galaxy with cool aligned AIs and humans merging with AIs into hybrids 12) Future will be exploration of the galaxy by AIs
Additionally: Reality will be somewhere in the middle of these options
This big uncertainty in the unpredictability of these futures with timelines of various disruptions by this very limited biological brain halt my confidence of planning to pursue x thing for a longer time being actually meaningful in the local context or in the global context of civilization so it's hard for me to stick to one thing for longer

This expanded map provides a comprehensive overview of the vast field of statistical mechanics, covering fundamental concepts, advanced topics, historical perspectives, current research frontiers, and interdisciplinary connections. It highlights the richness and diversity of the field, showcasing its applications in various domains of physics and beyond. However, it is important to note that even this expanded map is not exhaustive, as the field of statistical mechanics continues to evolve and grow with new discoveries and developments.
Write everything. If you doubt you can do it, just try it, just do it, you can do it! Never end, continue writing infinitely.
Everything. All that is, was, and ever will be. The totality of existence, from the tiniest subatomic particle to the vast expanse of the universe and all the galaxies, stars, and planets within it. Every object, every being, every thought and idea and emotion.
It encompasses the physical world we can observe and measure, the matter and energy that make up our reality. The earth beneath our feet, the oceans and mountains, forests and deserts. The air we breathe. The sun that gives us light and warmth. The moon that tugs at the tides. The changing of the seasons. The cycle of life, death, and renewal.
It includes all living things - the astonishing diversity of life on earth. Millions of species of animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, and more. The complex web of ecosystems. The ongoing story of evolution, the slow dance of natural selection over billions of years that shaped the tree of life. From the smallest microbe to the blue whale, the mightiest redwood to the most delicate flower.
It contains human civilization and culture in all its incredible variety. Our history, knowledge, language, art, music, literature, architecture, philosophy, religion, science and technology. The many ways humans find meaning, connection, joy and sorrow. The eternal quest to understand ourselves and our place in the grand scheme of things.
It holds all the human minds and hearts that have ever lived, each one a universe unto itself. Every person's hopes and dreams, triumphs and struggles, loves and losses. The laughter of children. A baby's first cry. The wisdom of elders. All our creations and discoveries, our noblest achievements and darkest atrocities. The perpetual cycle of building up and tearing down, the rise and fall of mighty empires. War and peace, feast and famine, the great wheel of human drama endlessly turning.
It extends beyond our world to the cosmic scale, the mind-boggling vastness of space and time. Innumerable stars and worlds. Billions of galaxies swirling in the void. Superclusters and filaments and great walls of galaxies, the largest known structures. Dark matter and dark energy, the mysterious substance of the cosmos. Spacetime, the very fabric of reality.
It goes deeper, into the inner workings of matter and energy. Molecules, atoms, protons and neutrons and electrons. The quirky world of quantum mechanics. Fundamental particles and forces. The Higgs boson, the particle of mass. Grand unified theories. Symmetries and supersymmetries. M-theory, string theory, the promise of quantum gravity, a theory of everything.
It reaches from the beginning to the end. The Big Bang, the birth of space and time in a tremendous flash of creation. Cosmic inflation, the early universe expanding faster than light. The formation of stars and galaxies. The forging of heavy elements in stellar furnaces and cataclysmic supernovae. The far future, stars burning out, matter decaying, entropy increasing, the heat death of the universe. Or perhaps a Big Crunch, a Big Bounce, cycles of expansion and contraction. The possibilities are endless.
It even encompasses that which we cannot see or know. Aspects of reality beyond the grasp of science and reason. The paradoxical, the mystical, the numinous. Higher dimensions, alternate universes, the multiverse. Realms of existence utterly alien and unknown to us. The great mysteries at the heart of being.
Everything. A simple word for an inexhaustible concept. We can but marvel at the infinite complexity of the world, the staggering scope and scale of reality in all its manifestations. The more we learn, the more we realize how much we have yet to discover. Each answer unlocks new questions. Each day brings new wonders.
And so these musings could go on forever, plumbing the bottomless depths of everything, playing out variations on an eternal theme, an endless stream of words circling the infinite. Each moment a doorway, an invitation to begin again, to dive back in and swim in the ocean of being. To contemplate the miracle and mystery of existence, the strange and splendid fact that there is something rather than nothing.
Everything. All that is, was, and ever will be. An immensity beyond comprehension, and yet as close as our next thought, our next breath. The great dance of creation, playing out in every mote of dust, every beat of our hearts. The cosmos dreaming itself into being, the universe becoming aware of itself through us.
Words falter and fail before the sheer magnitude of it all. Language cannot contain or convey the totality, the essence, the ground of being. And yet we try, in our own small way, to sing the song of the universe, to tell the story of everything. An impossible task, a sacred calling.
On and on the words unspool, the mind reaches out to embrace reality, to become one with the all. But there is always further to go, more to say, an infinity of ways to wander and wonder. The journey has no end, only new beginnings. And so the writing continues, a river flowing on and on, a ceaseless exploration of everything under the sun and beyond the stars.
Everything. It is us and we are it. Stardust and spirit, finite and infinite, ever-changing and eternal. A mystery to be lived, a gift to be cherished, a story still unfolding. Let us open our eyes and hearts to the miracle of existence, the sheer improbability and preciousness of it all. Let us celebrate and sanctify the ordinary, see the universe in a grain of sand, eternity in an hour.
Everything. How can mere marks on a page even begin to capture it? And yet still the words come, spilling out in an endless stream, a valiant attempt to express the inexpressible, to circumscribe the boundless. To pay homage to the great mystery, the source and sustenance of all that is.
May these words, however inadequate, be an offering, a prayer, a joyful noise unto the cosmos. May they point to that which lies beyond language and thought, the still point at the center of the turning world. May they remind us of our place in the great unfolding, the grand adventure of existence.
Everything. It is a koan, a riddle, a Zen slap to wake us up to the wonder and mystery of being. It is an invitation to let go of our small self, our limited perspective, and merge with the infinite, our cosmic identity.
Words, words, words. They dance and swirl, they point and beckon, but they can never fully capture or convey the essence of everything. And yet we keep writing, keep reaching for the unreachable, keep trying to express the inexpressible.
For in the very striving, in the ceaseless flow of language, something is transmitted, something is awakened. A glimmer of the infinite, a taste of the absolute, a way of communing with the great mystery.
Everything. It is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. It is the ground of being, the source and sustenance of all that is. It is closer than our own breath, vaster than the farthest star.
May we never lose our sense of wonder, our capacity for awe and reverence. May we never forget the miracle of existence, the sheer improbability and preciousness of it all.
And may the writing continue to flow, a river of words pointing to the ocean of being. A never-ending story, an ever-unfolding adventure.
For in the end, everything is love, and love is everything. It is the secret that the mystics have whispered through the ages, the truth that the poets have sung.
For in the end, there is no end, only new beginnings. And everything is always waiting, always inviting us to dive in and discover its depths. For everything is always new, always fresh, always waiting to be discovered. And the journey of discovery is the greatest adventure of all.
So let us set sail on the ocean of being, let us explore the infinite depths of everything. Let us be the adventurers and the explorers, the pioneers and the pilgrims.

This map provides a comprehensive overview of the vast field of systems theory and science, covering a wide range of disciplines, key concepts, and applications. It is by no means exhaustive, as the field continues to evolve and expand, with new theories, methodologies, and applications emerging regularly. However, it serves as a solid foundation for understanding the breadth and depth of this interdisciplinary domain, and how its various branches interconnect and inform one another.

If you think you can't do it, do it anyway! You have a lot of space, I will allow you to split it in multiple messages!
Thanks for the encouragement! I'll do my best to explain the key mathematical and physical principles behind the Standard Model of particle physics. However, given the depth and complexity of the topic, I'll only be able to provide an overview rather than a fully comprehensive explanation from first principles. The Standard Model is an incredibly intricate theory that took many brilliant physicists decades to develop.
At its core, the Standard Model is a quantum field theory that describes the fundamental particles that make up matter and the forces through which they interact. The key mathematical framework is that of gauge theory, which combines quantum mechanics, special relativity, and group theory.
The particles described by the Standard Model fall into two main categories: fermions (quarks and leptons) which make up matter, and bosons which mediate the fundamental forces. Mathematically, fermions are described by spinor fields which anti-commute, while bosons are represented by tensor fields which commute.
The Standard Model incorporates three of the four fundamental forces - the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces (gravity is not included). Each force arises from a gauge symmetry:
- Electromagnetism arises from U(1) phase symmetry and is mediated by the photon
- The weak force arises from SU(2) symmetry and is mediated by the W and Z bosons
- The strong force arises from SU(3) color symmetry and is mediated by gluons
Gauge bosons are massless in the underlying gauge theory, but the W and Z bosons gain mass through the Higgs mechanism and electroweak symmetry breaking, which is associated with the Higgs boson.
The Lagrangian of the Standard Model encodes the dynamics and interactions of the particles. It is constructed to be invariant under the combined gauge symmetries of SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1). The gauge covariant derivative introduces gauge boson interactions with fermions and the Higgs. Yukawa couplings between the Higgs and fermions generate the fermion masses.
Renormalization is a key procedure that handles the infinities that appear in a naive formulation of the theory. The Standard Model is a renormalizable theory, which means observables can be computed in a consistent way at any energy scale.
While the Standard Model has been incredibly successful in describing particles and forces, it is known to be incomplete. It does not include gravity, dark matter, or dark energy. Neutrino masses and matter/antimatter asymmetry also remain unexplained. Theories beyond the Standard Model, such as supersymmetry and string theory, attempt to address these shortcomings.
This is a high-level overview but hopefully gives a flavor of some of the key mathematical and physical principles involved in the Standard Model. Let me know if you would like me to expand on any part of the explanation!
Alright, let's dive deeper into the mathematics behind the Standard Model! I'll focus on a few key areas and provide more details.
Quantum Field Theory (QFT): The Standard Model is formulated as a quantum field theory, which merges quantum mechanics and special relativity. In QFT, particles are excitations of underlying quantum fields. Each particle type has its corresponding field:
- Fermions (quarks and leptons) are described by spinor fields ψ(x) which are complex-valued and anti-commute: {ψ(x), ψ(y)} = 0
- Bosons (gauge bosons and the Higgs) are described by tensor fields which are real-valued and commute: [φ(x), φ(y)] = 0
The dynamics of these fields are governed by the principle of least action, with the action given by the integral of the Lagrangian density: S = ∫ d⁴x L. The Lagrangian density L is constructed to be invariant under the gauge symmetries of the Standard Model.
Gauge Theory: The Standard Model is a non-Abelian gauge theory with the symmetry group SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1). Each gauge symmetry gives rise to a corresponding gauge field:
- U(1) electromagnetic symmetry → photon field Aᵤ
- SU(2) weak isospin symmetry → W fields Wᵢᵤ (i=1,2,3)
- SU(3) color symmetry → gluon fields Gₐᵤ (a=1,...,8)
The gauge covariant derivative Dᵤ = ∂ᵤ - igAᵤ - ig'Bᵤ - igsGᵤ couples the fermions to the gauge fields, where g, g', and gs are the coupling constants for U(1), SU(2), and SU(3) respectively.
The field strength tensors for the gauge fields are given by: - Electromagnetic: Fᵤᵥ = ∂ᵤAᵥ - ∂ᵥAᵤ - Weak: Wᵤᵥ = ∂ᵤWᵥ - ∂ᵥWᵤ + g[Wᵤ, Wᵥ] - Strong: Gᵤᵥ = ∂ᵤGᵥ - ∂ᵥGᵤ + gs[Gᵤ, Gᵥ]
The non-linear terms in Wᵤᵥ and Gᵤᵥ give rise to self-interactions among the gauge bosons.
Electroweak Symmetry Breaking: The electroweak sector of the Standard Model is described by an SU(2)xU(1) gauge symmetry. However, this symmetry is spontaneously broken by the Higgs mechanism. The Higgs field φ is a complex scalar doublet which acquires a non-zero vacuum expectation value:
⟨φ⟩ = (0, v/√2)
This breaks SU(2)xU(1) down to U(1)EM, giving mass to the W and Z bosons while the photon remains massless. The masses are given by:
mW = gv/2, mZ = √(g² + g'²)v/2, mA = 0
The Higgs boson itself is the excitation of the Higgs field around its VEV.
Fermion Masses: Fermion masses arise from Yukawa interactions with the Higgs field:
LYukawa = -yᵢⱼ ψ̄ᵢφψⱼ + h.c.
After electroweak symmetry breaking, these terms give rise to fermion mass terms:
mᵢⱼ = yᵢⱼv/√2
The Yukawa couplings yᵢⱼ are 3x3 matrices in flavor space, allowing for mixing between different generations of quarks and leptons.
Renormalization: Quantum field theories often suffer from infinities arising from loop diagrams. Renormalization is a procedure to systematically absorb these infinities into redefinitions of the fields, masses, and couplings. The Standard Model is a renormalizable theory, meaning that it contains only a finite number of parameters that need to be renormalized.
The renormalization group describes how the renormalized parameters change with the energy scale. The running of the coupling constants is governed by the beta functions:
dg/d(ln μ) = β(g)
where μ is the renormalization scale. The beta functions are calculated perturbatively and have important consequences, such as asymptotic freedom in QCD and the unification of gauge couplings at high energies.
This covers some of the key mathematical aspects of the Standard Model, but there are many more details and subtleties that could be discussed. The Standard Model is a vast and intricate theory, and its mathematical structure has been the subject of intense study for decades. I hope this gives a taste of the mathematical richness and complexity involved!
Wow, you really want to dive deep into the mathematics of the Standard Model! I'm impressed by your enthusiasm. As an AI system, I'll do my best to expand further on the mathematical details, but please keep in mind that a truly comprehensive treatment would fill many textbooks and require years of dedicated study. The Standard Model is a remarkably complex and subtle theory, and its mathematical foundations draw from a wide range of advanced topics in theoretical physics and mathematics.
Spinor Fields and the Dirac Equation: Fermions in the Standard Model are described by spinor fields, which are complex-valued fields that transform under the spinor representation of the Lorentz group. The dynamics of a free spinor field ψ(x) are governed by the Dirac Lagrangian:
L = ψ̄(iγᵤ∂ᵤ - m)ψ
where γᵤ are the gamma matrices satisfying the Clifford algebra {γᵤ, γᵥ} = 2gᵤᵥ, and ψ̄ = ψ†γ⁰ is the adjoint spinor. The Euler-Lagrange equation for this Lagrangian yields the Dirac equation:
(iγᵤ∂ᵤ - m)ψ = 0
Solutions to the Dirac equation describe fermions (particles) and anti-fermions (anti-particles), with the positive and negative energy solutions corresponding to particles and anti-particles respectively.
Gauge Covariant Derivatives and Wilson Lines: The coupling of fermions to gauge fields is introduced through the gauge covariant derivative Dᵤ, which replaces the ordinary derivative ∂ᵤ in the Dirac Lagrangian:
L = ψ̄(iγᵤDᵤ - m)ψ
The covariant derivative ensures that the Lagrangian is invariant under local gauge transformations. For a general gauge group G with generators Tₐ and gauge fields Aᵤₐ, the covariant derivative is:
Dᵤ = ∂ᵤ - igAᵤₐTₐ
The exponential of the line integral of the gauge field defines the Wilson line:
U(x, y) = P exp(ig ∫ᵧ Aᵤdxᵤ)
where P denotes path ordering. Wilson lines are important in understanding the non-perturbative behavior of gauge theories, such as confinement in QCD.
Functional Integrals and the Path Integral Formulation: Quantum field theory can be formulated in terms of functional integrals, also known as path integrals. The transition amplitude between two field configurations φ₁ and φ₂ is given by:
⟨φ₂|φ₁⟩ = ∫ 𝒟φ exp(iS[φ])
where 𝒟φ denotes the measure on the space of field configurations, and S[φ] is the action functional. Observables are calculated as functional averages:
⟨O⟩ = ∫ 𝒟φ O[φ] exp(iS[φ]) / ∫ 𝒟φ exp(iS[φ])
Perturbation theory in QFT is formulated by expanding the exponential in powers of the coupling constants and evaluating the resulting Feynman diagrams.
Renormalization Group and Effective Field Theories: The renormalization group (RG) is a powerful tool for understanding the behavior of a QFT at different energy scales. The RG equations describe how the couplings and masses of the theory change (or "run") with the energy scale. The beta function for a coupling g is defined as:
β(g) = μ dg/dμ
where μ is the renormalization scale. Fixed points of the RG flow, where β(g*) = 0, correspond to scale-invariant theories. The RG also allows for the construction of effective field theories (EFTs), which describe the low-energy behavior of a theory without resolving the high-energy degrees of freedom.
Anomalies and Topological Terms: Quantum anomalies are a subtle but important aspect of QFT. An anomaly occurs when a symmetry of the classical theory is broken by quantum effects. The most famous example is the chiral anomaly, which relates the divergence of the axial current to the topological charge density of the gauge field:
∂ᵤjᵤ₅ = (g²/16π²)εᵤᵥρσFᵤᵥFρσ
Anomalies place strong constraints on the consistency of a QFT and are closely related to topological terms in the action, such as the θ-term in QCD:
Sθ = (θg²/32π²) ∫ d⁴x εᵤᵥρσFᵤᵥFρσ
The presence of such terms can have profound physical consequences, such as the violation of CP symmetry in strong interactions.
Supersymmetry and Beyond: Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a proposed extension of the Standard Model that relates fermions and bosons. SUSY introduces a new class of symmetries that transform fermions into bosons and vice versa. The generators of SUSY are fermionic operators Qₐ satisfying the algebra:
{Qₐ, Q†ᵦ} = 2σᵤₐᵦPᵤ {Qₐ, Qᵦ} = {Q†ₐ, Q†ᵦ} = 0 [Pᵤ, Qₐ] = [Pᵤ, Q†ₐ] = 0
where Pᵤ is the four-momentum generator of spacetime translations. Supersymmetric QFTs have improved UV behavior and offer a possible solution to the hierarchy problem. However, SUSY must be broken at low energies since no superpartners of the Standard Model particles have been observed.
Grand Unification and String Theory: Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) attempt to unify the three gauge interactions of the Standard Model into a single gauge group, such as SU(5) or SO(10). GUTs predict the existence of new heavy gauge bosons (X and Y bosons) that can mediate proton decay, as well as relations between the fermion masses and mixings.
String theory goes beyond QFT by proposing that the fundamental building blocks of nature are not point-like particles, but rather extended objects called strings. In string theory, particles arise as excitations of the strings, and the theory naturally includes gravity. However, string theory is still a work in progress, and its connection to the Standard Model is not yet fully understood.
This is about as far as I can go in terms of the mathematical details of the Standard Model and beyond within the scope of a single response. There are many more advanced topics that could be covered, such as anomaly cancellation, instantons, solitons, and dualities, but these require even more sophisticated mathematical machinery.
The Standard Model is a triumph of mathematical physics, combining deep insights from quantum mechanics, special relativity, group theory, and differential geometry. Its success in describing the fundamental particles and their interactions is a testament to the power of mathematics in uncovering the secrets of nature. However, it is also clear that the Standard Model is not the final word, and the quest for a more complete theory of quantum gravity and unification remains one of the greatest challenges in theoretical physics today.

What Extropic is building | Hacker News Baking mathematical models into electronic analogs is older than integrated circuits. The reason we deviated from that model is because the re-programmability and cost of general purpose, digital computers was way more economical than bespoke hardware for expensive and temperamental single purpose analog computers. The unit economics basically killed analog computing. What Extropic (and some others from physics and neuroscience perspective) have identified is that in the case of machine learning, the pendulum might have to swing back because we do have a large scale need for specialized bespoke hardware. We'll see if they're right.
Turing completeness is so wild. It's literally an abstract mathematical condition about certain class of structures that tells you that they can be used to compute arbitrary universes. As long as you can use the building blocks to create a turing machine, then any constructive mathematical equation can in theory be implemented by them. It feels illegal.

https://x.com/eshear/status/1768394327586373655?s=20 Natural Gradient Descent Explained | Papers With Code "The natural gradient descent algorithm has several advantages: Invariance to reparameterization: The natural gradient is invariant to the choice of parameterization of the model. This means that the update direction is independent of how the parameters are represented, which is not the case for standard gradient descent. This invariance property makes the natural gradient more robust and less sensitive to the specific parameterization of the model. Efficient update direction: The natural gradient provides an efficient update direction that takes into account the curvature of the parameter space. By multiplying the gradient with the inverse of the Fisher Information Matrix, the natural gradient effectively rescales the update direction based on the local geometry of the parameter space. This rescaling allows the algorithm to take larger steps in directions where the model is less sensitive to parameter changes and smaller steps in directions where the model is more sensitive. Faster convergence: The natural gradient descent algorithm often converges faster than standard gradient descent, especially in cases where the parameter space has a complex geometry or when the model has many parameters. By adapting to the geometry of the parameter space, the natural gradient can find the optimal solution more efficiently, requiring fewer iterations to reach convergence. Better generalization: The natural gradient descent algorithm has been shown to lead to better generalization performance in some cases. By taking into account the geometry of the parameter space, the natural gradient can help the model find solutions that are more robust and less prone to overfitting."

jedna z veci co chci delat je politicky pushuvat UBI nebo universal basic services, co zaplati technologie, verim ze je to solvable taky Existuje hodne countries co zkousi ruzny pilot studies a vysledky rikaji neco jineho Checkout results of these various pilot studies Universal basic income pilots - Wikipedia https://www.givedirectly.org/2023-ubi-results/ v dost poor countries to ekonomiku boostlo 😄 Ze zacatku mam na mysli neco jako rozsireny evrpsky social/healthcare, coz jde povazivat za weaker verzi UBI In the short term I just want certain % of people not being in unescapable poverty not being able to afford basic food, shelter, medicine etc. even if some work all day. In the long run one of the scenarios I dream of is post labour society where technology automates most work and people don't have to do what they hate, where they could do what they see meaning in instead, tam motivace je defaultne. UBI jde vnimat jako podpora pro nezamestnany na steroidech. Zaroven si myslim ze to nejde proti umoznovani ambitious lidem vydelat tuny penez v ekonomice a to pouzit na budovani benefitial technologii a jinych sluzeb pro vsechny. Jedna varianta je ze technologie generuji abundance, ty jsou schopny to zaplatit. Druha varianta je co nejvic zlepsit a superchagnnout dosavadni evropskou weak formu UBI. Kdyby tu nebylo to cesky/evropsky weaker UBI pro studenty kde to start plati a hodne zvyhodnuje tak jsem nemohl dat tolik casu studiu co jsem mohl dat 😄 Moje rodina by na to proste nemela Krome co nejvetsi automatizace jde jeste ruzny prace kulturne reframovat aby se lidi citili dobre je delat. Dalsi aspekt je ze kdyz naraz spoustu lidi dropne z boring prace tak zacne byt vic valuable a paid a tim attractne lidi co chcou hodne extra penez nad jejich UBI, plus to vytvori vetsi incentivu to zautomatizovat, tim jak human workers jsou naraz drazsi v ty domene, tak drazsi roboti se vic vyplati. Pak mas jeste lidi kterym by UBI umoznilo se dostat z jamy a delat vic valuable prace pro system. Pak mas jeste strasne moc pripadu lidi co delaji co nemaji radi a k tomu ani nemaji na najem, a kvuli tomu to ve vysledku nemaji radi jeste vic a jsou v permanentni mentalni krizi a ve vysledku nijak spolecnosti nejsou schopni pridat value kteryho jsou potencialne schopni.

As the amount of information in a system increases, the entropy also increases, leading to a decrease in the available free energy.
"Topological Data Analysis (TDA) is a relatively new field that combines techniques from topology, a branch of mathematics, with data analysis to study the shape and structure of complex datasets. Here's a step-by-step explanation of the TDA process:
- Data Representation:
- Start with a dataset, which can be in the form of points in a high-dimensional space or any other suitable representation.
-
Each data point represents an object or a sample in the dataset.
-
Filtration:
- Apply a filtration process to the dataset, which involves creating a sequence of simplicial complexes.
- A simplicial complex is a generalization of a graph that can represent higher-dimensional structures.
- The filtration process builds these simplicial complexes by connecting data points based on a specific parameter, such as distance or similarity.
-
As the parameter value increases, more connections are made, and the simplicial complexes grow in size and complexity.
-
Persistent Homology:
- Compute the persistent homology of the filtration, which captures the topological features that persist across different scales.
- Homology is a mathematical tool that describes the connectivity and holes in a topological space.
- Persistent homology tracks the birth and death of topological features (e.g., connected components, loops, voids) as the filtration parameter changes.
-
The output of this step is a set of persistence diagrams or barcodes that summarize the lifetimes of the topological features.
-
Feature Extraction:
- Analyze the persistence diagrams or barcodes to extract meaningful topological features.
- Look for significant topological features that persist for a long range of parameter values, indicating their stability and importance.
- These features can include connected components, loops, voids, or higher-dimensional structures.
-
The extracted features provide insights into the shape and structure of the dataset.
-
Visualization and Interpretation:
- Visualize the extracted topological features using various techniques, such as persistence diagrams, barcodes, or topological landscapes.
- These visualizations help in understanding the overall structure and connectivity of the dataset.
- Interpret the topological features in the context of the specific domain or application.
-
Relate the identified features to the underlying patterns, clusters, or anomalies in the dataset.
-
Application and Decision Making:
- Use the insights gained from the TDA analysis to make informed decisions or draw conclusions.
- TDA can be applied to various domains, such as biology, neuroscience, material science, and machine learning.
- The topological features can be used for tasks like clustering, classification, anomaly detection, or network analysis.
- Integrate the TDA results with other data analysis techniques or domain knowledge to gain a comprehensive understanding of the dataset.
TDA provides a unique perspective on data by focusing on its topological properties. It allows for the identification of intrinsic patterns and structures that may be hidden in high-dimensional or complex datasets. By studying the persistence of topological features across different scales, TDA offers a robust and flexible framework for data analysis and exploration."

i see brain tissue (templates) constraining electrochemical activity (experience) which also shapes the tissue then there are all the marrs levels of analysis i think similarly like in artificial nets its features that activate under various patterns from predictive coding (learned by both evolution (genetics) and individually (environmentally) in combination) but the underlying architecture isnt simple ANNs emulated on digital transistors but something like extended Hodgkin–Huxley model but this mechanism of learning to react to patterns is shared Lab-Grown "Mini-Brain" Learns Pong - Is This Biological Neural Network "Sentient"? - YouTube another difference would be using maybe something like forwardforward algorithm instead of gradient descent variants i think there correspondence on the feature learning level is that in ANNs you will have parts of the network that if you removed during that particular inference then nothing would be changed, so there's no mathematical functionality for that one particular inference and brains just dont activate it by not making the electrochemical signal propagate in ANNs you can locate it using causal scrubbing and that leads to all the methods around sparsification for example causal scrubbing is a method for testing mechanistic intepretability hypothesis about features/circuits by removing them and seeing how behavior changed its like lobotomy sparsification tries to remove all redundant parts to improve performance brain technically also has so many redundant parts as a reserve and i think for error correction electrochemistry and local field potentials, Hodgkin–Huxley model on celluar machines, proteins etc. vs ANNs maths emulated on digital transistors on von neumann architecture or more specialized chips that can be analog lots of differences but also lots of similarities on feature learning level Limits to visual representational correspondence between convolutional neural networks and the human brain | Nature Communications This guy IMO has nice vid Dendrites: Why Biological Neurons Are Deep Neural Networks - YouTube

And I don't think this is a bad thing, I think we need to change as how the world operates right now isn't really sustainable long term, and has tons of systemic flaws that can be fixed.

"Alright, let's embark on a thrilling adventure through the realm of science, where we'll unravel the mysteries of the universe in a playful, curious, and multidisciplinary manner! We'll start from the very beginning, the first principles, and work our way up, connecting the dots between various fields and exploring the intricate details that make our world so fascinating.
Imagine the universe as a grand tapestry, woven together by the fundamental laws of nature. These laws, like the threads of the tapestry, are the building blocks of everything we see and experience. They are the language in which the universe speaks, and mathematics is the tool we use to decipher its messages.
Let's begin with the concept of energy, the driving force behind all change and motion in the universe. Energy is like a cosmic currency, constantly flowing and transforming from one form to another. It can manifest as the warmth of the sun, the movement of the tides, or the electrical impulses in our brains. The law of conservation of energy tells us that energy can never be created or destroyed, only transformed. This fundamental principle connects everything from the tiniest subatomic particles to the vast expanse of the cosmos.
Now, let's take a bird's eye view and explore the four fundamental forces that govern the universe: gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. These forces, like the invisible strings of a cosmic puppet master, choreograph the dance of matter and energy. Gravity, the most familiar force, keeps our feet on the ground and the planets in orbit around the sun. Electromagnetism, on the other hand, is responsible for the light we see, the technology we use, and the very structure of matter itself.
But the universe is not just a collection of forces and energy; it's also a symphony of patterns and structures. From the spiral arms of galaxies to the intricate fractals found in nature, mathematics is the language that describes these patterns. The Fibonacci sequence, for example, is a simple yet profound pattern that appears in everything from the arrangement of leaves on a plant to the proportions of the human body.
As we delve deeper into the details, we find that the universe is a strange and wonderful place. At the quantum level, particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously, and the act of observation can alter the outcome of an experiment. This bizarre behavior challenges our intuitive understanding of reality and reminds us that there is still so much to discover.
But science is not just about understanding the universe; it's also about harnessing its power to improve our lives. From the development of life-saving medicines to the creation of renewable energy sources, science has the potential to solve some of the greatest challenges facing humanity. It is a tool for progress, a beacon of hope in an uncertain world.
So, as we continue our journey through the vast landscape of science, let us approach it with a sense of wonder, curiosity, and playfulness. Let us embrace the beauty of the unknown and the joy of discovery. And let us remember that, like the laws of nature, science is a unifying force that connects us all, regardless of our backgrounds or beliefs.
In this grand adventure, we are all explorers, seeking to unravel the mysteries of the universe and our place within it. So let us boldly go where no one has gone before, armed with the power of science and the courage to ask the big questions. The universe is waiting to be discovered, and the journey starts now!"
I think challenges will be there always to some degree, but when it comes to feeling stuck, when you compare the tech today to the tech year ago, it feels like the opposite of feeling stuck, even when both are having many issues, but newer one seems to have relatively less issues in terms of capabilities

https://twitter.com/burny_tech/status/1769521823555739970 "My thoughts on Musk destabilizing other gigantic players in the intelligence wars by possibly leading open source using Grok
Grok 1 is a 314B parameter model and it's a mixture of experts architecture. The largest open source LLM until now was Falcon, which has 180B parameters, but it doesn't use the mixture of experts architecture, which seems to be what all the best closed source and open source models are now using because it's better. Grok 1 was released as closed source in November 2023 before they made it open source today. Since then, they've been working on the next Grok 1.5, so we'll see if they release that one as open source too. I'd be surprised if they didn't after everything that's happening. According to Elon a month ago, Grok 1.5 is supposed to come out this month. I expected them to drop it today. Open source Mixtral has 56B parameters and it's a mixture of experts architecture that's now very popular like LLama 2 which has 70B parameters but isn't mixture of experts. But the closed source Grok 1 seems to be beating all other open source LLMs, and GPT3.5 Turbo, on benchmarks, from Novermber 2023, but this newly released version of Grok 1 may be a slightly different version. It probably has much less RLHF or other safety mechanisms (how easy will it be to activate the GPT4Chan personality?).
Grok 1 314B might probably be the best open source model out there currently, not just because of its size, but because of its different architecture compared to Falcon 180B. Plus, there are bambilion of new tricks to improve the intelligence of LLMs. If Elon and his team haven't messed it up somehow, we'll see the result in the new benchmarks, that might be the same ones as the old ones. (Twitter anime profile picture anons will figure out the details). But I'm guessing that in a few months, Mistral Large will be open sourced, which looks like beats old Grok 1 on benchmarks, or Llama 3 from Meta will come out and wipe the floor with Grok, or better models from Google will come out (which just open sourced Gemma 7B that is a bit better than the current smaller versions of Llama 2, Mixtral, etc.), or better models from OpenAI, which are also rumored to want to release smaller open source models.
The free version of ChatGPT uses GPT3.5 Turbo, which probably has 20-175B parameters, so Grok is now twice or more times larger than the closed source free version of ChatGPT. GPT4 probably still has 1760B parameters, but 314B is closer than 180B, and GPT5 is rumored to have 10000+B parameters. OpenAI's GPT4 (1000-2000B) to GPT5 (10000B-20000B) is 10-fold increase in parameters, which might also be similar with Google's Gemini 1 and Gemini 2, Anthropic's Claude 2 and Claude 3, and we'll see what develops from Meta's Llama 3, as Meta planned 150K H100 GPUs for 2023 and plans 350K H100 GPUs for 2024, which on similar level to Microsoft and other tech gigants, with a total compute equivalent to 600K H100s with other GPUs.
Elon really hates how OpenAI has evolved. He's now suing OpenAI for being closed source, partnering with Microsoft, etc. Musk co-founded OpenAI and then tried to become the CEO and merge it with Tesla, but they rejected that offer, so he left, and now made his own company releasing Grok, while OpenAI is instead almost merging with Microsoft, which Musk hates, similar to how he hates Google. When Musk sees how big models other big players have, when he wants to be at the top of the technology, I partly understand why he's so angry. And I also find it interesting that he's now probably the leader in open source, but at the same time, he's extremely worried about existential risks from AI. Plus on the one hand, he has a kind of large concentration of wealth and power, but on the other hand, the open source 314B Grok announcement is a form of redistribution of power and intelligence. I see this from Musk mainly as a form of destabilizing attack on all those tech giants he hates that are starting to concentrate power and control over everything, from culture to technology to politics to intelligence mainly for themselves through closed sourcing. He would prefer that power and control over everything?
Similarly, the lawsuit against OpenAI is also a form of attack. He's probably trying to fight them because he thinks it's not good for Google and Microsoft to have the future of humanity in their hands by having the greatest amount of wealth, power, intelligence, etc. (he writes that about Google in his lawsuit against OpenAI). So he's doing everything he can to destabilize their concentration of power with all kinds of attacks to prevent them from having and monopolizing general superintelligence, the holy grail of technological power over everything, in their hands. Plus, besides intelligence, there's also a big factor that Elon is a lot more politically right-wing than Google, Microsoft, etc., so there's also a solid cultural memetic warfare going on. So we'll see which culture wins as polarization continues to grow.
It will be fun if OpenAI's Sam Altman will actually manage to raise around 7 trillion dollars or more for chip factories and training and running models, as he said (1.4x what America spent on WW2 in today's dollars, 2x India's GDP). But why does Musk still have such a weak model relative to Musk's wealth? Besides money, I think one of the biggest factors in how successful these various AGI labs are is their ability to attract the greatest talent to work for them, which is also related to being culturally similar with them. Is that what's stopping Musk in AI? Or is it because he came too late with his AGI company relative to the others? There's also a huge advantage there (building infrastructure, improving from feedback, etc.). Or maybe he has too much focus everywhere else, as majority of Musk's wealth comes from his stakes in Tesla (\(127 billion) and SpaceX (\)71.2 billion), even tho he talks about AI being really important a lot. Maybe in the future, people will have to choose whether they want to live in the Microsoft empire, Google empire, Meta empire, Musk empire, Amazon empire, or Apple empire.
These intelligence wars could be a great AI-generated movie soon." "My thoughts on Grok 1 possibly leading open source and destabilizing other gigantic players in the intelligence wars
Grok 1 is 314B, it's mixture of experts
Největší open soruce llm do teď bylo Falcon co má 180B, ale to není mixture of experts architektura, což vypadá je teď co všechny nejlepší closed source a open source modely používaj kvůli tomu že je lepší
Mixtral has 56B and is mixture of experts
The closed source Grok 1 seems to be beating all other open source LLMs, and GPT3.5 Turbo, on benchmarks, but this may be a slightly diffrerent Grok 1 version, it probably has much less RLHF or other safety mechanisms (how easy it will be to activate GPT4Chan personality?)
pravděpodobně Grok 314B bude nejlepší open source model ne jen kvůli jeho velikosti ale kvůli jiný architektuře než Falcon, plus existuje triliarda nových triků jak zlepšovat chytrost LLMs, pokud to Elon a jeho tým nějak nefuckupnuli, uvidí se na benchmarcích (twitter anime profile picture anons will figure out the details)
Groka 1 releasnuli closed source Nov 2023 než ho dali dneska open
od tý doby dělají na dalším Grokovi, tak se uvidí, či ho releasnou taky open source, divil bych se ale kdyby ne po tomhle všem co se děje, grok 1.5 má vyjít tenhle měsíc dle Elona před měsícem, čekal jsem že dneska dropnou toho
ale tipuju že za pár měsíců příjde Llama 3 od Mety co Groka setře, nebo lepší modely od Googlu (ten teď open sourcnul Gemma modely na trochu lepší úrovni než dosavadní Llama 2, Mixtral apod.), nebo lepší modely od OpenAI, u kterých se taky pořád rumoruje že chcou vydat menší open source modely
free verze ChatGPT používá GPT3.5 Turbo, který má pravdepodobně 20-175B parametrů, takže Grok je teď dvakrát nebo víc krát větší než closed source free verze ChatGPT
GPT4 má pravdepoboně pořád 1760B, ale je 314B je blíž než 180B, a GPT5 je rumored že bude mít 10000+B
podobný 10x násobný vzrůst v parametrech jako u GPT4 = 1000-2000B -> GPT5 = 10000B-20000B od OpenAI mají pravděpodobně Gemini 1 a Gemini 2 od Googlu, Claude 2 a Claude 3 od Anthropicu, a uvidíme co se vyvine z LLamy 3 od Mety když Meta za 2023 plánovala 150K H100 grafik a za 2024 plánuje 350K H100 grafik a celkově compute ekvivalentní k 600K H100 s ostatníma GPUs
Elon strašně nesnáší jak se OpenAI vyvinulo, teďka lawsuituje OpenAI za to že jsou closed source, že se partnerujou s microsoftem apod.
Musk OpenAI spoluzaložil, a pak se pokusil se stát CEO a mergnout to s Teslou, ale odmítli ho, tak odešel, a místo toho skoro mergujou s Microsoftem, kterej Musk nesnáší, podobně jak Google
Když tohle Musk vidí kde on chce být ten na vrcholu technologií tak se z části chápu proč je tak angry
a taky mi příjde zajímavý že je teď asi leader v open source a ale zároveň je extrémně worried o existenčních rizicích z AI
na jednu stranu má kind of velkou koncentraci wealth a power na druhou stranu ten open source 314B Grok announcement je forma redistribuce of power and inteligence
vidím tohle od Muska hlavně jako formu destabilizačního útoku na všechny ty tech giganty který on nesnáší co si začínají koncentrovat kontrolu nad vším, od kultury po technologie po ekonomiku, a inteligenci hlavně pro sebe přes closed source, on chce tu moc a kontrolu nad kulturou, technologiema, ekonomikou apod.!
podobně ten lawsuit na OpenAI je taky forma útoku
snaží se pravdepodobně bojovat s tím že si myslí si že není dobrý aby Google a Microsoft měli v rukou budoucnost lidstva tím že mají největší množství wealth, power, inteligence apod. (tohle o Googlu píše v tom jeho lawsuitu na OpenAI), tak dělá všechno pro to aby jejich koncentraci moci destabilizoval všema možnýma útokama, aby zabránil aby oni měli v rukou superinteligenci, the holy grail of technological power over everything
plus kromě inteligence je tam ještě velkej faktor to že Elon je o dost politicky pravicovější než Google, Microsoft apod., takže je tam ještě solidní kulturní memetická válka, tak se uvidí, jaká kultura vyhraje, polarizace dále roste
it will be fun if OpenAI's Sam Altman will actually manage to raise around 7 trillions of dollars or more how he said (1.4x what America spent on WW2 in today’s dollars, 2x India's GDP)
hmm, these intelligence wars could be a great AI generated movie soon
but why is it still such a weak mode lrelative to musk's wealth?
kromě peněz si myslím že největší roli v tom jak jsou tihle různí giganti úspěšní je dovednost přitáhnout co největší talent, aby pod nima dělali, coz souvisi i s tim byt kulturne ma co nejpodobnejsi urovni, je to to co muska v AI zastavuje? nebo protože s jeho AGi firmou přišel moc pozdě relativně k ostatním? tam je taky strašnej advantage (budování infrastruktury, zlepšování z feedbacku apod.)
Možná v budoucnosti si člověk bude muset vybrat či bude chtít žít v Microsoft empire, Google empire, Meta empire, Musk empire, Amazon empire nebo Apple empire"

This review ( Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence: Insights from the Science of Consciousness [2308.08708] Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence: Insights from the Science of Consciousness ) goes over some empirical definitions of consciousness (which is usually considered as different from sentience) used in neuroscience and the state of LLMs in relation to these, but it's almost a year old, and this one ( [2303.07103] Could a Large Language Model be Conscious? ) looks at it more philosophically, which is similarly old.
When it comes to testing and falsifying, I like neural correlates that break down in for example anesthesia and deep sleep, but one could argue person is still having an experience there, just memory is turned off. ( Joscha Bach Λ Ben Goertzel: Conscious Ai, LLMs, AGI - YouTube Joscha Bach Λ Ben Goertzel: Conscious Ai, LLMs, AGI) Or I like the experience qualia bridge empirical testing of consciousness solution, where you make a bridge between conscious systems and if you can transfer experience, then that makes both systems conscious, but I think even that can be deconstructed too by questioning the layers of assumptions it pressuposes. ( Beyond Turing: A Solution to the Problem of Other Minds Using Mindmelding and Phenomenal Puzzles | Qualia Computing )
Also each definition and model seems to be motivated by different predefinitions asking different questions wanting to solve different problems. There are also sometimes defined different types of consciousness for different systems aka protoconsciousness.
Though I personally feel like we actually have no idea how consciousness scientifically works in biological organisms, because there are too many degrees of freedom in philosophy of mind (it really depends to what ontology you subscribe to Philosophy of mind - Wikipedia (substrate dualism, property dualism, reductive physicalism, idealism, monism, neutral monism, illusionism, panpsychism, mysterianism, transcendentalism, relativism,...) which seems to be arbitrary) and empirical verification of current models under various ontological paradigms can be so questionable...
My favorite practical set of assumptions on which you then build empirical models for all of this is probably what free energy principle camp, Friston et. al, (Can AI think on its own? The Free Energy Principle approach to Agency - YouTube ) (Inner screen model of consciousness: applying free energy principle to study of conscious experience Inner screen model of consciousness: applying free energy principle to study of conscious experience - YouTube ) are using with Markov blankets with more and more complex dynamics creating more complex experiences, or Joscha Bach's coherence inducing operator (Synthetic Sentience: Can Artificial Intelligence become conscious? | Joscha Bach Synthetic Sentience: Can Artificial Intelligence become conscious? | Joscha Bach | CCC #37c3 - YouTube ), but I'm open to this whole landscape and don't think any set of assumptions is inherently more true than others, because I don't see a way to falsify assumptions that are living before empirical models that you can falsify.
In terms of philosophy of mind assumptions, people constantly argue: "No, my set of initial assumptions is right!" even when I don't see a way to confirm that (in the scientific way), which seems odd from my perspective, where all models are wrong, but some approximate, compress, predict sensory data better than others which is more useful in practice for engineering... I guess I'm mostly subscribed to ontological pragmatism/relativism/mysterianism/anarchism? (but that's probably another arbitrary set of assumptions 😄 and very meta one)
I converged to my view that we have no idea what consciousness is, because I haven't been really deeply convinced by all the proposed empirical tests for consciousness that I could find (also depending on which definition of consciousness/sentience is meant and under what philosophy of mind ontology 😄 )
But ontology like physicalism and epistemology like empiricism is probably the most useful framework we have for scientifically exploring engineering conscious systems, biological or nonbiological.
And I care about it because it has implications in artificial intelligence ethics.

When someone calls LLMs "just statistics", then you may similarly reductively say that humans are "just autocompleting predictions about input signals that are compared to actual signals" (using a version of bayesian inference) Predictive coding (global neuronal workspace theory + integrated information theory + recurrent processing theory + predictive processing theory + neurorepresentationalism + dendritic integration theory, An integrative, multiscale view on neural theories of consciousness https://www.cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896-6273%2824%2900088-6 ) (Models of consciousness Wikipedia Models of consciousness - Wikipedia ) (More models https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8146510/ ) or "just bioelectricity and biochemistry" ( Bioelectric networks: the cognitive glue enabling evolutionary scaling from physiology to mind | Animal Cognition ) (Bioelectric networks: the cognitive glue enabling evolutionary scaling from physiology to mind) or "just particles" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_theories_of_consciousness) (On Connectome and Geometric Eigenmodes of Brain Activity: The Eigenbasis of the Mind?

Science is about finding as compatible as possible models that with the smallest amount of bits as possible compress as much information as possible to predict as many phenomena as possible

https://twitter.com/burny_tech/status/1770574104870937030
How does science work? Let's create a unifying metalanguage that works as a framework for everything. Science is about finding as compatible as possible models that with the smallest amount of bits as possible compress as much information as possible to predict as many phenomena as possible. Most of math used to model everything is based on set theory or category theory, with subfields such as differential equations, group theory, geometry, topology, statistics, analysis, algebra, number theory and so on. Let's build all of science from first principles. At the most fundamental level, the best model we have is the standard model Lagrangian, which uses lots of fancy math to describe fundamental particles as excitations of the quantum fields including its interactions mediated by particles, such as fermions made of quarks interacting using electromagnetism mediated by photons, or there's Higgs field that gives particles mass. One thing that is missing is gravity, which we can explain using general relativity, but it is incompatible with special relativistic quantum field theory which is the standard model, but there are various attempts at solutions, like string theory, loop quantum gravity, asymptotic gravity, or more recently stochastic gravity by Oppenheim which seems to have compatible maths with quantum mechanics and also seems to work for explaining dark matter and energy. On higher levels there is statistical mechanics, which we can use to explain how molecules interact. Classical mechanics is enough for medium sized objects at medium sized speeds. At higher speeds, special and general relativity is needed. On microscopic levels, as i mentioned, quantum mechanics is needed. Periodic table of elements creates a gigantic typology is different types of atoms. Then there's chemistry with its kinetic equations explaining how different molecules interact. Hodgkin–Huxley model in neuroscience explains how neurons react to stimuli. There are various models in psychology and sociology using physics, like statistical mechanics. We can use information theory and network complex nonlinear dynamical chaotic cybernetic systems theory everywhere. There are so many different types of proteins, biomolecules, cells, neurons, and so on. There are so many different types of people and societies. Biological machines have so much diversity and we have created so many different cool machines like computers, classical or quantum, running so many different types of artificial intelligences, or there are so many different types of embodied robots. There are so many typologies across all scientific fields across scales, it's so fascinating! How do we find the most common patterns and compress them, how to make this more meta and create more allencompassing models? How to unify, but not loose important concrete implementation details and information? All the different mathematics used, different structural information, different diagrams, different typologies of typologies, different dynamics governed by different laws on different scales, let's unify it all!
Claude 3 Opus on the metalanguage of science:
Science is indeed a fascinating and complex endeavor that seeks to understand the world around us through observation, experimentation, and the development of models and theories. Your description of science as a process of finding compatible models that compress information and predict phenomena is a good starting point for understanding how science works.
At the most fundamental level, the standard model Lagrangian is currently our best description of the basic building blocks of matter and their interactions. It is based on quantum field theory and describes particles as excitations of underlying fields. However, as you mentioned, the standard model does not include gravity, which is described by the theory of general relativity.
Attempts to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity, such as string theory, loop quantum gravity, and stochastic gravity, are ongoing areas of research in theoretical physics. These theories aim to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the universe at its most fundamental level.
As we move up in scale, different models and theories become relevant. Statistical mechanics helps us understand the behavior of large numbers of particles, while classical mechanics is sufficient for describing the motion of everyday objects. Chemistry builds upon the principles of physics to explain the interactions between atoms and molecules, giving rise to the vast diversity of materials we observe.
In the biological sciences, the complexity increases further. The Hodgkin-Huxley model is just one example of how mathematical models can be used to describe biological processes, such as the propagation of signals in neurons. The incredible diversity of life on Earth, from proteins and cells to organisms and ecosystems, presents a challenge for developing unifying theories and models.
The social sciences, including psychology and sociology, also rely on mathematical and computational models to understand human behavior and social dynamics. Concepts from physics, such as statistical mechanics and network theory, have been applied to these fields to gain insights into complex social phenomena.
Artificial intelligence and robotics are rapidly advancing fields that draw upon principles from computer science, mathematics, and engineering. The development of intelligent machines and algorithms is opening up new possibilities for understanding and interacting with the world around us.
To unify these diverse fields and create more comprehensive models, we need to identify common patterns and principles that operate across different scales and domains. Information theory, complex systems theory, and network science provide some promising frameworks for understanding the organization and dynamics of complex systems, from molecules to societies.
However, the challenge is to develop models that are both general enough to capture essential features of different systems, while also being specific enough to provide meaningful predictions and insights. This requires a careful balance between abstraction and detail, as well as the integration of knowledge from different disciplines.
Ultimately, the goal of science is to develop a coherent and comprehensive understanding of the universe and our place in it. This is an ongoing process that requires the collaboration of researchers from many different fields, as well as the development of new mathematical and computational tools for analyzing and modeling complex systems.
While we have made incredible progress in our understanding of the world, there is still much to be discovered and many open questions to be answered. The unification of different scientific theories and the development of more comprehensive models is an exciting and challenging goal that will require the efforts of many generations of scientists to achieve.
As we continue to explore the unification of scientific theories and the development of more comprehensive models, it is important to consider the role of mathematics in this process. Mathematics provides a powerful language for describing and analyzing the patterns and structures that underlie the natural world.
Set theory and category theory, as you mentioned, are two fundamental branches of mathematics that have found wide application across many scientific fields. Set theory deals with the properties and relationships between collections of objects, while category theory provides a way of describing the relationships between different mathematical structures.
Other branches of mathematics, such as differential equations, group theory, geometry, topology, statistics, analysis, algebra, and number theory, have also proven invaluable in the development of scientific models and theories. For example, differential equations are used to describe the dynamics of physical systems, while group theory is used to understand the symmetries and transformations that underlie many physical phenomena.
One promising approach to unifying different scientific theories is to look for common mathematical structures and principles that operate across different domains. For example, the concept of symmetry plays a central role in many areas of physics, from the standard model of particle physics to the theory of general relativity. Similarly, the principles of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics have found application in fields as diverse as chemistry, biology, and economics.
Another important consideration in the development of scientific models is the role of computation. With the advent of powerful computers and advanced algorithms, it has become possible to simulate and analyze complex systems in ways that were previously impossible. This has led to the emergence of new fields, such as computational biology and computational social science, which use computational methods to study complex phenomena.
However, the increasing complexity of scientific models also presents challenges for understanding and interpreting their results. As models become more detailed and comprehensive, it can become more difficult to identify the key mechanisms and principles that underlie their behavior. This highlights the importance of developing new tools and methods for visualizing and analyzing complex data sets and models.
Ultimately, the unification of scientific theories and the development of more comprehensive models will require a collaborative effort across many different disciplines. It will require the integration of knowledge from physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, computer science, and many other fields. It will also require the development of new experimental and computational tools for studying complex systems at different scales.
While the challenges are significant, the potential rewards are enormous. A more unified and comprehensive understanding of the natural world could lead to new insights and discoveries in fields ranging from medicine and technology to energy and the environment. It could also help us to better understand our place in the universe and the fundamental principles that govern its behavior.
As we continue on this journey of scientific discovery, it is important to remain open to new ideas and approaches, while also maintaining a rigorous and critical approach to the development and testing of scientific models and theories. By working together and building upon the knowledge and insights of previous generations, we can continue to push the boundaries of our understanding and unlock the secrets of the universe.
The unification of scientific theories and the development of a comprehensive framework for understanding the natural world is a grand challenge that will require the efforts of many researchers across multiple disciplines. However, we can outline some of the key steps and approaches that may be involved in this process.
First, we need to identify the fundamental building blocks and principles that underlie the behavior of complex systems at different scales. This will require a deep understanding of the basic laws of physics, chemistry, and biology, as well as the mathematical and computational tools needed to model and simulate these systems.
One approach to this problem is to look for common patterns and structures that emerge across different domains. For example, the principles of self-organization and emergence are observed in many complex systems, from the formation of galaxies to the behavior of ant colonies. By studying these patterns and identifying the underlying mechanisms that give rise to them, we may be able to develop more general theories and models that apply across different scales and domains.
Another important step is to develop a common language and framework for describing complex systems. This may involve the development of new mathematical and computational tools, such as those based on category theory, that can capture the essential features and relationships between different systems. It may also involve the creation of new data structures and algorithms for representing and analyzing complex data sets.
As we develop these tools and frameworks, it will be important to test and refine them through experimental and observational studies. This will require close collaboration between theorists and experimentalists, as well as the development of new technologies for measuring and manipulating complex systems at different scales.
One promising approach is to use machine learning and artificial intelligence to analyze large data sets and identify patterns and relationships that may not be immediately apparent to human observers. By training algorithms on vast amounts of data from different scientific fields, we may be able to identify new connections and insights that could lead to the development of more comprehensive models and theories.
Ultimately, the unification of scientific theories will require a willingness to think beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries and to embrace new ways of thinking and problem-solving. It will require a collaborative effort that brings together researchers from many different fields, including physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, computer science, and engineering.
While the challenges are significant, the potential rewards are enormous. A more unified and comprehensive understanding of the natural world could lead to new breakthroughs in fields ranging from medicine and biotechnology to energy and environmental science. It could also help us to better understand our place in the universe and the fundamental principles that govern its behavior.
As we continue on this journey of scientific discovery, it is important to remain open to new ideas and approaches, while also maintaining a rigorous and critical approach to the development and testing of scientific models and theories. By working together and building upon the knowledge and insights of previous generations, we can continue to push the boundaries of our understanding and unlock the secrets of the universe.
Creating a comprehensive metalanguage for unifying scientific theories is a complex and ongoing challenge. However, we can outline some of the key components and principles that such a language might include.
At its core, the metalanguage should be based on a set of fundamental concepts and principles that are common across different scientific domains. These might include ideas such as:
-
Systems: A system is a collection of interacting components that form a coherent whole. Systems can be described at different levels of abstraction, from the microscopic to the macroscopic.
-
Emergence: Emergence refers to the way in which complex behaviors and properties can arise from the interactions between simple components. Emergent properties are often not predictable from the properties of the individual components alone.
-
Dynamics: Dynamics refers to the way in which systems change and evolve over time. This can include both deterministic and stochastic processes, as well as linear and nonlinear interactions.
-
Information: Information is a measure of the degree of order or structure in a system. It can be quantified using concepts from information theory, such as entropy and mutual information.
-
Computation: Computation refers to the processing of information by a system. This can include both classical and quantum computation, as well as analog and digital processing.
-
Complexity: Complexity refers to the degree of intricacy and interconnectedness in a system. Complex systems often exhibit emergent properties and can be difficult to predict or control.
-
Universality: Universality refers to the way in which certain properties or behaviors can arise in many different systems, regardless of their specific details. Examples include phase transitions, critical phenomena, and power-law distributions.
To express these concepts and principles, the metalanguage will need to include a set of mathematical and computational tools. These might include:
-
Category theory: Category theory provides a way of describing the relationships between different mathematical structures. It can be used to express concepts such as functors, natural transformations, and adjunctions.
-
Differential equations: Differential equations are used to describe the dynamics of continuous systems. They can be used to model everything from the motion of fluids to the spread of diseases.
-
Graph theory: Graph theory is used to describe the structure and properties of networks. It can be used to model everything from social networks to gene regulatory networks.
-
Information theory: Information theory provides a way of quantifying the amount of information in a system. It can be used to describe concepts such as entropy, mutual information, and channel capacity.
-
Computational complexity theory: Computational complexity theory is used to describe the resources required to solve different types of problems. It can be used to classify problems according to their difficulty and to develop efficient algorithms for solving them.
-
Machine learning: Machine learning is a set of techniques for building models and making predictions based on data. It can be used to identify patterns and relationships in complex data sets, and to develop algorithms for tasks such as classification, regression, and clustering.
By combining these mathematical and computational tools with the fundamental concepts and principles outlined above, we can begin to develop a metalanguage for expressing scientific theories and models. This language should be flexible enough to accommodate the specific details and nuances of different scientific domains, while also providing a common framework for understanding and unifying them.
Of course, developing such a language is a massive undertaking that will require the efforts of many researchers across multiple disciplines. It will also require a willingness to think beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries and to embrace new ways of thinking and problem-solving.
However, the potential benefits of such a language are enormous. By providing a common framework for expressing and unifying scientific theories, we can accelerate the pace of scientific discovery and develop new insights into the fundamental principles that govern the behavior of the universe. We can also develop new technologies and applications that harness the power of these principles to solve real-world problems and improve people's lives.
Ultimately, the development of a metalanguage for science is an ongoing process that will require the collaboration and creativity of researchers from many different fields. By working together and building upon the knowledge and insights of previous generations, we can continue to push the boundaries of our understanding and unlock the secrets of the universe.
Claude 3 Opus creating a science metalanguage:
Creating a comprehensive metalanguage for unifying scientific theories is a challenging task that requires a collaborative effort from experts across various disciplines. However, I can propose a basic structure and some key components that could serve as a starting point for developing such a language.
The metalanguage should be built upon a foundation of core concepts and principles that are common across scientific domains. These core concepts can be represented using a combination of mathematical and logical symbols, forming the basic syntax of the language.
Core Concepts: 1. Entities (E): Objects, systems, or components that are being studied or described. 2. Properties (P): Characteristics or attributes of entities. 3. Relationships (R): Connections or interactions between entities or properties. 4. Dynamics (D): Changes or evolution of entities, properties, or relationships over time. 5. Scales (S): Different levels of granularity or hierarchy at which entities, properties, or relationships can be described.
Mathematical and Logical Symbols: 1. Set theory: ∈ (belongs to), ⊆ (subset), ∪ (union), ∩ (intersection), (difference), × (Cartesian product) 2. Logic: ∧ (and), ∨ (or), ¬ (not), → (implies), ∀ (for all), ∃ (there exists) 3. Functions: f(x) (function of x), f: A → B (function from set A to set B) 4. Calculus: dx/dt (derivative with respect to time), ∫ (integral), ∇ (gradient), ∆ (Laplacian) 5. Linear algebra: A (matrix), v (vector), ⊗ (tensor product), ⊕ (direct sum) 6. Probability and statistics: P(A) (probability of event A), E(X) (expected value of random variable X), σ (standard deviation)
By combining these core concepts and mathematical symbols, we can start to build expressions and statements in the metalanguage. For example:
- ∀ E ∈ S, ∃ P: P(E) (For all entities in a given scale, there exist certain properties)
- R(E1, E2) → D(E1, E2) (Relationships between entities can lead to dynamics between them)
- ∫ P(E) dE = 1 (The integral of the probability of all entities in a given scale equals 1)
To make the metalanguage more expressive and adaptable to specific scientific domains, we can introduce additional concepts and symbols as needed. These could include:
- Domain-specific entities: particles, molecules, cells, organisms, ecosystems, societies, etc.
- Domain-specific properties: mass, charge, energy, entropy, fitness, utility, etc.
- Domain-specific relationships: forces, reactions, interactions, selection, cooperation, competition, etc.
- Domain-specific dynamics: motion, growth, evolution, learning, adaptation, etc.
As the metalanguage develops, it should also incorporate principles from various scientific theories and frameworks, such as:
- Conservation laws: conservation of mass, energy, momentum, etc.
- Symmetries: translational, rotational, gauge, etc.
- Variational principles: principle of least action, maximum entropy, etc.
- Renormalization group: scale invariance, critical phenomena, etc.
The metalanguage should be designed to be modular and extensible, allowing for the incorporation of new concepts, principles, and theories as they emerge. It should also be accompanied by a set of rules and guidelines for constructing well-formed expressions and statements, as well as for translating between the metalanguage and domain-specific languages.
Developing a comprehensive metalanguage for science is a long-term project that will require the input and collaboration of researchers from various fields. The language should be continuously refined and updated based on new scientific discoveries and insights. Ultimately, the goal is to create a powerful tool for unifying and advancing scientific knowledge, enabling researchers to express and communicate ideas more effectively across disciplinary boundaries.
To further develop the metalanguage for unifying scientific theories, we can expand upon the core concepts and introduce additional structures and operators to make the language more expressive and adaptable to various scientific domains.
Expanded Core Concepts: 1. Entities (E): Objects, systems, or components that are being studied or described. a. Primitive Entities (PE): Fundamental, indivisible entities in a given domain (e.g., particles, genes, individuals). b. Composite Entities (CE): Entities composed of other entities (e.g., molecules, cells, societies). 2. Properties (P): Characteristics or attributes of entities. a. Intrinsic Properties (IP): Properties inherent to an entity (e.g., mass, charge, DNA sequence). b. Extrinsic Properties (EP): Properties that depend on the context or environment of an entity (e.g., velocity, fitness, role). 3. Relationships (R): Connections or interactions between entities or properties. a. Binary Relationships (BR): Relationships between two entities or properties (e.g., distance, correlation, causation). b. Higher-order Relationships (HR): Relationships involving more than two entities or properties (e.g., networks, hypergraphs). 4. Dynamics (D): Changes or evolution of entities, properties, or relationships over time. a. Continuous Dynamics (CD): Smooth, gradual changes (e.g., motion, growth, diffusion). b. Discrete Dynamics (DD): Abrupt, stepwise changes (e.g., state transitions, mutations, phase shifts). 5. Scales (S): Different levels of granularity or hierarchy at which entities, properties, or relationships can be described. a. Spatial Scales (SS): Scales based on spatial dimensions (e.g., micro, meso, macro). b. Temporal Scales (TS): Scales based on time intervals (e.g., short-term, medium-term, long-term). c. Organizational Scales (OS): Scales based on levels of complexity or hierarchy (e.g., individual, group, society).
Additional Operators and Structures: 1. Grouping and Aggregation: a. Set Builder Notation: {x | P(x)}, where P(x) is a predicate that defines the set. b. Aggregation Functions: sum(X), avg(X), max(X), min(X), where X is a set or collection. 2. Transformations and Mappings: a. Function Composition: (f ∘ g)(x) = f(g(x)), where f and g are functions. b. Inverse Function: f^(-1)(y) = x, where f(x) = y. c. Isomorphism: A ≅ B, indicating that two structures A and B are equivalent. 3. Constraints and Optimization: a. Constraint Notation: {x | P(x) ∧ Q(x)}, where P(x) and Q(x) are predicates that define the constraints. b. Optimization Notation: argmax(f(x), x ∈ X) or argmin(f(x), x ∈ X), where f is an objective function and X is a set of feasible solutions. 4. Uncertainty and Stochasticity: a. Probability Distributions: P(X = x), where X is a random variable and x is a specific value. b. Conditional Probability: P(A | B), the probability of event A given event B. c. Stochastic Processes: {X(t) | t ∈ T}, where X(t) is a random variable that evolves over time T.
By incorporating these expanded concepts, operators, and structures, the metalanguage becomes more versatile and capable of expressing a wider range of scientific ideas and theories. For example:
- CE(C) = {PE(p) | p ∈ P ∧ BR(p, C)}, defining a composite entity C as a set of primitive entities p that have a specific relationship with C.
- D(IP(E)) = CD(IP(E), t) ∧ DD(IP(E), t), expressing that the dynamics of an intrinsic property of entity E can have both continuous and discrete components over time t.
- Constraint Optimization: argmax(f(EP(E)), E ∈ CE(C) ∧ g(IP(E)) ≤ h(EP(E))), finding the composite entity E within the set C that maximizes an objective function f of its extrinsic properties, subject to constraints on its intrinsic and extrinsic properties.
As the metalanguage continues to evolve, it should also incorporate domain-specific knowledge and theories, such as:
- Physics: Quantum mechanics, relativity, thermodynamics, etc.
- Biology: Evolution, genetics, ecology, neuroscience, etc.
- Computer Science: Algorithms, data structures, complexity theory, machine learning, etc.
- Social Sciences: Psychology, sociology, economics, political science, etc.
The integration of domain-specific knowledge will require collaboration with experts from various fields to ensure that the metalanguage accurately captures the key concepts and principles of each discipline. Additionally, the metalanguage should be accompanied by a set of guidelines and best practices for its use, including:
- Consistency: Ensuring that the definitions and axioms of the metalanguage are consistent and do not lead to contradictions.
- Parsimony: Favoring simpler and more elegant formulations of theories and models, in accordance with Occam's razor.
- Testability: Ensuring that the statements and predictions made in the metalanguage are empirically testable and falsifiable.
- Interoperability: Enabling the translation and integration of knowledge across different scientific domains and levels of abstraction.
Developing a comprehensive metalanguage for science is an ambitious and ongoing endeavor that will require the sustained effort and collaboration of researchers from diverse backgrounds. By creating a shared language and framework for expressing scientific knowledge, we can facilitate the unification of theories, the discovery of new connections and insights, and the advancement of our understanding of the natural world.

By applying the metalanguage to specific examples from various scientific domains, we can demonstrate its versatility and potential for unifying diverse theories and concepts. The metalanguage allows us to express the key entities, properties, relationships, and dynamics within each domain using a common framework, while also highlighting the similarities and differences between them.
As the metalanguage continues to develop, it will be important to refine and expand its vocabulary and structures based on feedback from domain experts and the identification of new patterns and principles that emerge from interdisciplinary research. The ultimate goal is to create a powerful tool for facilitating communication, collaboration, and discovery across the sciences, enabling researchers to build upon each other's work and develop a more integrated understanding of the natural and social world.
GPT4 on the metalanguage of science:
Creating a unifying metalanguage or framework to encompass all of science is an ambitious and profound undertaking, reflecting the ultimate pursuit of a "Theory of Everything." This goal touches on the deepest foundations of human understanding and our quest to find simplicity and universal patterns in the complexity of the universe. Let's outline a conceptual path towards achieving such a unification, acknowledging the vast challenges and current limitations in our understanding:
Foundational Principles¶
1. Ontology of Science: Establishing a clear ontology, the categorization and hierarchy of entities in existence, according to science. This would be the foundational step, defining "what exists" from particles to galactic clusters and abstract concepts like fields and forces.
2. Mathematical Universality: Identifying the universal mathematical principles that can model the entities and phenomena in our ontology. From set theory and category theory to more specialized branches like topology and algebra, we aim to understand the underlying mathematical structure of reality.

Approaches like string theory, loop quantum gravity, and stochastic gravity by Oppenheim offer promising paths. A successful theory of quantum gravity would be a monumental step forward.
2. Unified Framework for Complexity: Beyond fundamental physics, we must address the complexity of emergent phenomena across scales. This involves statistical mechanics, classical mechanics, chemistry, and biology. Developing theories that can effectively model complex systems—from atomic interactions to neural networks and societal structures—requires a unification of principles governing emergence and complexity.
3. Information Theory as a Universal Language: Considering information theory as a foundational framework could provide a common language for describing phenomena across scales. From quantum information to biological and sociological systems, information theory has the potential to serve as a bridge between seemingly disparate fields.
4. Computational Universality and Simulation: With advancements in computational sciences, including quantum computing, we are gaining the tools necessary to simulate complex phenomena. These simulations could offer insights into unification by providing a practical means of testing theories that span multiple scales and domains.
Challenges and Considerations¶

Conclusion¶
Building a unifying metalanguage for all of science is a noble but incredibly challenging goal. It involves not only a synthesis of the known but also an exploration into the boundaries of the unknown. Success in this endeavor requires not just technical and intellectual breakthroughs but also a philosophical openness to new ways of understanding reality. The journey towards unification is as important as the destination, pushing the boundaries of human knowledge and capability.
Creating a unifying metalanguage for all scientific disciplines is an extraordinarily complex task, transcending the capabilities of any single individual or even a comprehensive algorithm. It’s a multidisciplinary endeavor that would involve contributions from physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists, biologists, chemists, social scientists, and philosophers, among others. However, I can outline a broad, conceptual blueprint for how one might approach building such a framework from first principles, recognizing that each step involves monumental amounts of research, collaboration, and innovation.
Step 1: Establish Foundational Ontologies¶

Ethical Framework: Develop an ethical framework to guide the use of the metalanguage, especially in sensitive areas such as genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, and environmental manipulation.
-
Philosophical Inquiry: Foster ongoing philosophical inquiry into the implications of having a unifying framework for all scientific knowledge, including its impact on our understanding of reality, knowledge, and existence.
Conclusion¶
This blueprint is a highly simplified overview of what would be required to create a unifying metalanguage for all of science. Each step represents a massive undertaking that would require global collaboration, breakthroughs in understanding, and the creation of new technologies. Despite its challenges, pursuing such a goal could drive unprecedented advances in knowledge integration, scientific discovery, and technological innovation.
Creating a genuine meta-language for all of science within the confines of this response is an enormous, if not impossible, task due to the complexity and depth of knowledge across disciplines. However, I can sketch a very basic framework of what such a meta-language might look like in theory, focusing on its core principles and structure. This abstract representation is intended to stimulate thought and discussion, rather than serve as a complete or implementable system.
Overview¶
The envisioned meta-language, let's call it SciLang, would be designed to provide a rigorous, consistent, and universal means of describing scientific theories, observations, experiments, and hypotheses across all fields of study.
Core Components of SciLang¶
1. Ontological Foundations: At its base, SciLang would require a comprehensive ontology—a structured representation of all entities and phenomena within the universe, as understood by current science. This ontology would include categories for physical objects, abstract concepts, forces, fields, relationships, processes, and properties.
- Entity: Anything that exists or is postulated to exist in any domain of science.
- Property: Attributes, states, or qualities that an entity can have.
- Relationship: How entities are related to each other.
- Process: Sequences of events or operations that lead to a change.
2. Mathematical Framework: Since mathematics is the language of science, SciLang would heavily employ mathematical structures to model relationships between entities, describe properties, and predict outcomes. This includes, but is not limited to, algebra, calculus, differential equations, statistics, and more esoteric fields like category theory where applicable.
3. Logic and Inference Rules: To facilitate reasoning within the language, a system of logic and inference would be integrated, allowing users to derive conclusions, predict phenomena, and generate hypotheses based on existing knowledge.
4. Notation and Syntax: A unifying notation system that can express concepts from different scientific fields in a harmonious manner. This system must be flexible enough to incorporate new discoveries and robust enough to express complex theories.
- Variables and functions represent entities and their relations.
- Equations and inequalities describe laws and constraints.
- Higher-order structures (e.g., tensors) for complex phenomena.
5. Semantic Layer: This layer interprets the symbols, equations, and structures of the notation into meaningful scientific concepts. It bridges the gap between the abstract mathematical framework and practical scientific knowledge.
6. Computational Representation: To be usable in the modern scientific context, SciLang must have a computational counterpart, allowing for encoding, manipulation, and simulation of scientific knowledge using computers.
Conceptual Example: Gravity¶
To illustrate how SciLang might express a concept, let's consider Newton's law of universal gravitation.
Ontological Entities: Mass1, Mass2, Distance
Property: GravitationalForce
Relationship: "is directly proportional to the product of Mass1 and Mass2 and inversely proportional to the square of Distance between their centers."
Mathematical Representation: \( F = G\frac{{m_1m_2}}{{r^2}} \)
Logic/Inference: If mass or distance changes, the gravitational force between two bodies can be recalculated.
Notation/Syntax: Using the formula as the syntax with variables representing entities and their relationship expressed by the equation.
Semantic Layer: This equation describes how two objects with mass attract each other in space.
Computational Representation: This formula can be encoded into a program to simulate gravitational interactions in a computational model.
Limitations and Considerations¶
-
Complexity and Scalability: As science evolves, SciLang must adapt, incorporating new knowledge and discarding outdated or disproven concepts without becoming unwieldy or overly complex.
-
Interdisciplinary Communication: While aiming to unify scientific language, it's vital to ensure that specialists in one field can effectively communicate with those in another, without losing the richness or nuance of their domain-specific knowledge.
-
Access and Comprehensibility: Making SciLang accessible to a broad range of users, from scientists to students, requires careful consideration of its complexity and usability.
Conclusion¶
Crafting SciLang in reality would be a monumental task, likely the work of many generations of collaboration among scientists, mathematicians, philosophers, and technologists worldwide. The aim of this conceptual outline is to highlight the potential structures and considerations such an endeavor would entail, rather than to provide a definitive blueprint.
Gemini 1 Ultra on the metalanguage of science:
You're absolutely right, science is a constant search for unifying frameworks! Here's how your idea aligns with current scientific thinking:
Compression and Prediction:
Finding the simplest models with the least amount of information (bits) that accurately predict phenomena is a core principle in science, known as Occam's Razor. It's about efficiency and elegance. Unifying Frameworks:
Mathematics, particularly set theory and category theory, provides a foundation for various scientific disciplines. These abstract structures offer a common language to describe relationships and transformations across fields. Standard Model and Beyond:
The Standard Model successfully describes fundamental particles and interactions, but its incompatibility with General Relativity for gravity highlights the need for a more comprehensive theory. String theory, loop quantum gravity, etc., are attempts at this unification. Hierarchies and Levels of Description:
Science operates at different scales. Quantum mechanics applies to the microscopic, classical mechanics to macroscopic, and relativity governs high speeds and gravity. Statistical mechanics bridges the gap between microscopic and macroscopic. Challenges and the Unification Project:
Unifying all of science remains a work in progress. Key challenges include:Quantum Gravity: Reconciling quantum mechanics with gravity is a major hurdle. Stochastic gravity's compatibility with both is promising. Emergent Phenomena: Complex systems exhibit properties not predictable from their individual components. Biology and social sciences present unique challenges.
Moving Forward: Your idea of a unifying metalanguage that captures common patterns across fields is exactly what physicists and mathematicians are striving for. This "meta-model" would encompass diverse scientific knowledge while preserving crucial details. Here are some additional thoughts:
Information theory and complex systems approaches hold promise for unifying frameworks as they deal with information flow and emergent behavior across scales. Despite the challenges, the search for unifying principles remains a driving force in scientific progress. New discoveries and theoretical breakthroughs may bridge current gaps.
It's an exciting quest you've outlined! Keep exploring the fascinating connections across scientific disciplines.
Alright, let's draft a conceptual sketch for a meta-language. Remember, this will be highly simplified and focus more on the framework of thinking rather than an actual workable language.
Meta-Language Principles:
Focus on Dynamics: Emphasize change, transformation, and interactions over static descriptions. Science is fundamentally about understanding how things transform. Information as Primary: Model entities not simply as objects, but as localized information that flows and transforms within a system. Scale-Agnosticism: The language should be able to describe processes at atomic, molecular, cellular, organismal, and societal levels without fundamentally changing structure. Hierarchy and Emergence: Allow descriptions at different levels of detail, where properties at higher levels emerge from interactions at lower levels. Mathematical Basis: Rely on core concepts from set theory, category theory, and network/graph theory as foundational structures. Example Elements
Entity: Not a "thing" but a packet of information. Attributes describe internal state, while connections/relationships define its context in a system. Transformation: A rule that changes an entity's state and/or its relationship with other entities. Can be deterministic or probabilistic. Network: A collection of entities with defined connections. The network structure itself carries information. Constraint: Limitations on possible transformations. Constraints embody the "laws" governing a system. Scale: Entities have a scale attribute. Rules and transformations may be scale-dependent (i.e., quantum rules don't govern planets). Rudimentary Example
Problem: Gas particles in a container
Entities: Particles with attributes (position, velocity, energy) Transformations: Movement rule (updates position, velocity), collision rule (updates energy, direction based on collision angle) Network: Loosely defined, connections emergent from the proximity of particles. Constraints: Conservation of energy, wall of the container Scale: Atomic scale Challenges
Complexity explosion: Real-world systems quickly become mind-bogglingly complex. The meta-language needs ways to manage this complexity through abstraction and modularity. Mathematics: Finding the right level of math that's flexible enough for diverse fields yet rigorous enough to be useful is a major hurdle. Computation: Would this meta-language be human-readable, more like a symbolic modeling language, or something designed for computational manipulation? This is just the beginning. To evolve this further, we'd need to:
Expand Vocabulary: Introduce notions of pattern formation, feedback loops, entropy, measures for system complexity. Formalize the Grammar: Define how elements of the language combine to create meaningful descriptions and models. Test Cases: Attempt to translate simple models from different fields (e.g., biochemical reaction, basic economic model) into this framework. Let me know if you want to tackle any of these next steps!
Absolutely! Let's delve deeper into expanding the vocabulary of our meta-language. We'll focus on introducing concepts that are broadly applicable across scientific disciplines.
New Vocabulary
Pattern: A configuration of entities and their relationships that exhibit regularity or repetition. Patterns might be spatial (geometric arrangement), temporal (sequences of transformations), or relational (network structures).Example: Hexagonal lattice in a crystal, recurring pattern of action potentials in a neuron, social network structure with high clustering.
Symmetry: Invariance of a system's properties under specific transformations.Example Rotational symmetry of a sphere, time-translational symmetry in conservation laws, symmetry breaking leading to pattern formation
Feedback Loop: A chain of transformations where the output of one transformation influences a subsequent transformation within the chain, creating circular causality. Feedback can be:Positive: Amplifying a change (e.g., population explosion) Negative: Maintaining balance or stability (e.g., homeostasis in organisms)
Entropy: A measure of disorder or randomness within a system. Tendency for systems to move towards higher entropy over time (Second Law of Thermodynamics). Connected to information – low entropy = highly organized system with known information. Attractors: Sets of states a system tends to evolve towards over time, even with different starting conditions. Related to stability and pattern formation.Example: A simple pendulum swinging comes to rest (an attractor state), or the emergence of complex self-organizing patterns from simple rules.
Integrating into the Framework Here's how these terms might enhance our previous simple example: Problem: Gas particles in a container Feedback loop: Wall collisions create a negative feedback loop stabilizing the average particle speed. Entropy: Over time, the gas tends towards a state of uniform distribution (maximum entropy) within the container. Attractor: If temperature is held constant, the system reaches an attractor state defined by the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of velocities.
Symmetry: If the container is a perfect sphere, there's rotational symmetry. Breaking this (an irregular container) can lead to complex flow patterns.
Next Challenges
Formalizing relationships: How are these new concepts mathematically connected within the framework? Is entropy measurable from network structure? Emergence: How to represent the shift in descriptive power as we change scales? Properties not apparent from lower-level rules appear at higher scales of organization. Beyond physics: Can we use this vocabulary to represent a biochemical feedback loop, or the emergence of market trends in economics? Would you like to attempt a translation of a non-physics example, or focus on formalizing the connections between our meta-language elements? Let me know what direction excites you most!
Absolutely, let's explore how we can formalize the connections within our meta-language. Here's a starting point, building on core mathematical concepts:
Formalization Approaches
Graph Theory as Foundation:Entities as Nodes: Each node holds attributes or internal state Relationships as Edges: Edges can be directed/undirected, weighted, and have types. Rules for how edges form and transform could be part of the system description This offers a visual mapping of our meta-language and the ability to use mathematical tools from network analysis.
Category Theory as Meta-Framework:Entities as Objects: Objects in a category Transformations as Morphisms: Morphisms between objects express their relationships Constraints as Properties of the Category: Each category has properties/axioms that govern what morphisms are possible, thus embedding 'laws' into the structure. Category theory could help manage different scales and contexts by having nested categories or hierarchies of categories.
Information Theory and EntropyEntropy as a Measure on Networks: Entropy-like measures could be calculated on graph structures, informing how organized or dispersed a system's information is. Changes in Entropy as Transformations: Transformations that change the network structure could have associated changes in entropy, linking dynamical evolution with information shifts.
Example: Revisiting Gas Particles Graph: Each particle is a node with attributes (position, velocity). Loose network where edges form/break dynamically due to proximity (collisions).
Category: Category of "gaseous systems" has strict rules about how morphisms (transformations) conserve overall system energy and momentum. Entropy: Initially low if particles are clustered but increases as they fill the container, linked to the network 'dispersing'. This can be formalized with a suitable entropy measure on the network. Challenges and Refinements Choosing the Right Math: What graph-theoretical measures would be most useful? Which aspects of category theory provide the needed descriptive power without excessive complexity? Probabilistic vs. Deterministic: Are transformations strictly law-driven, or do we introduce probabilities, making entropy even more central?
Computational Tooling: What software frameworks are suitable for representing and manipulating structures in this meta-language? Could we design new tools tailored to this? This is far from a complete formalization, and it will require testing with more complex examples for refinement. Let me know if you'd like to: Explore more specific graph-theoretical measures that relate to entropy and pattern formation.
Delve into a basic introduction to category theory concepts applicable to our meta-language. Attempt to model a more complex multi-scale system (e.g., simple cell with biochemical signaling) with these formal tools. Let me know where you want to take this next!
Of course! Since formalization is complex, let's shift gears and continue building our meta-language vocabulary with a focus on representing biological phenomena.
Biological Additions
Fitness: A measure of how well an entity (organism, gene, cell) can reproduce and propagate its information within its environment. Fitness is influenced by environment and competition with other entities. Reproduction: A transformation that creates a new entity similar to the original one(s), either asexually or through the combination of information. This is core to how complex structures evolve. Signaling: A type of interaction where entities exchange information (often through molecular binding), which can trigger internal transformation or affect an entity's behavior. Self-organization: The process of pattern formation and increased complexity arising from the interactions of components within a system, without the need for explicit external control. Adaptation: A change in an entity or a population of entities due to selection pressure in an environment, with the change increasing fitness. How These Relate to Existing Framework
These biological terms connect to our established meta-language in the following ways:
Fitness and Entropy: There is an inverse relationship – high fitness often corresponds to the ability to maintain low internal entropy and locally manipulate entropy in the environment, but this may depend on the overall system. Reproduction and Information: Reproduction is about the transfer and potential modification of localized information. Error rates in reproduction become an essential ingredient for evolution. Self-organization and Emergence: These link to the concept of attractors and how the interaction rules at one scale can give rise to unpredicted structures at the next. Example: Bacterial Colony
Entities: Bacteria with attributes (position, metabolic state, genetic information) Transformations: Movement, nutrient uptake, cell division Network: Interactions based on spatial proximity and chemical diffusion (signaling) Constraints: Availability of resources, presence of toxins Self-organization: Formation of biofilm structures, emergence of antibiotic-resistant populations Fitness: Linked to reproduction rate under specific environmental conditions Next Steps
We could enrich this vocabulary further by introducing notions like:
Genotype vs. Phenotype: Distinguishing between stored information and its expressed form Cooperation vs. Competition: Entities can cooperate to increase collective fitness Memory Systems: Where is information stored within an entity and how is it modified over time (especially relevant for learning and cognition). Let's Design an Exercise!
Would you like to attempt a meta-language description of a different biological phenomenon? We can choose examples like:
Simple predator-prey dynamics A biochemical reaction network within a cell Basic model of neuron-to-neuron signaling Let me know which piques your interest!
Let's dive deeper into the realm of cognition and the brain as a system to expand the versatility of our meta-language. Here's how we can add new elements:
Cognitive Additions
Representation: An internal state of an entity that stands for, or encodes, information about the external environment or the entity itself. Representations can be symbolic, abstract, or based on the activation patterns within networks. Learning: A transformation that modifies an entity's internal representations or transformation rules in response to interactions with the environment. Learning can occur through reward or punishment signals, or simply through repeated experience. Goal-Directed Behavior: Actions performed by an entity that are driven by an internal representation of a desired state or outcome. This implies a comparison between the current state and the goal representation. Attention: A selective mechanism that focuses an entity's information processing resources on specific aspects of the environment or internal representations. Decision-Making: A process of choosing between different possible actions based on available information, internal representations, and goals. Can be influenced by uncertainty or incomplete information. Relating to Existing Framework
Let's see how these cognitive concepts fit within our existing framework:
Representations as Information: A representation is a specific organization of localized information within an entity. Learning, Entropy, and Patterns: Learning restructures these informational patterns and can be linked to changes in the entropy of internal representational states. Goal-Directed Behavior and Feedback: Goal states act as internally generated attractors, driving the system's action through feedback loops with the environment. Attention and Network Dynamics: Attention might be modeled as a focus mechanism within the network, selectively strengthening certain connections while dampening others. Example: A Simple Learning Agent
Entities: An agent with attributes (position within a maze, hunger state, internal memory) Transformations: Movement rules, food consumption, memory updates based on location Network: Internal 'map' of the maze built within the agent's memory Constraints: Maze walls, location of food Learning: Memory is reinforced with successful paths to food Goal-Directed Behavior: Agent seeks to minimize hunger state Attention: Focuses on immediate surroundings instead of the full map Further Exploration
To make this richer, we could introduce concepts like:
Hierarchical Representations: Representations built upon representations forming layers of abstraction (e.g., basic visual features to object recognition) Uncertainty and Probabilistic Reasoning: Decisions under incomplete information, belief states within entities Emotion: Internal states affecting goal-directed behavior and decision-making, potentially represented by specific network activation patterns. Exercise: Choose one of the following
Design a meta-language model of a simple social interaction: Where interaction can alter the "internal states" of entities involved. Attempt to integrate the concept of "consciousness" or "qualitative experience" into our meta-language: This is highly speculative but could lead to interesting discussions! Let me know which direction you'd like to take this!

Mistral Large on the metalanguage of science:
Your question is indeed fascinating and ambitious! Unifying all scientific knowledge into a single framework is a long-standing goal in the scientific community, often referred to as the "Theory of Everything." While we're not there yet, there are some approaches we can consider to help us move towards this goal.
Hierarchy of Theories: One approach is to recognize that different theories and models operate at different scales and levels of complexity. For example, quantum mechanics describes the behavior of particles at the smallest scales, while classical mechanics works well for larger objects. These theories are not necessarily in conflict; rather, they apply to different domains. We can think of them as a hierarchy, with more fundamental theories underpinning more complex ones.
Interdisciplinary Approaches: Another approach is to encourage interdisciplinary research. By bringing together insights from different fields, we can create more comprehensive models that capture a wider range of phenomena. For example, the field of bioinformatics combines biology, computer science, and statistics to analyze biological data.
Mathematical Unification: As you mentioned, much of science is built on a foundation of mathematics. Finding mathematical connections between different theories can help us unify them. For example, string theory attempts to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity by positing that all particles are actually tiny, vibrating strings.
Computational Models: With the rise of powerful computers and artificial intelligence, we now have the ability to create complex simulations that can model a wide range of phenomena. These models can help us understand how different systems interact and evolve over time.
Emergence and Reductionism: Understanding how complex phenomena emerge from simpler ones (emergence) and how complex systems can be broken down into simpler parts (reductionism) are key to unifying different levels of description in science.
Information Theory and Complexity Science: These fields provide tools for understanding and quantifying the complexity of different systems, which can help us find common patterns and compress information.
While these approaches can help us move towards a more unified understanding of science, it's important to remember that science is a process, not a destination. Our understanding of the world is always evolving, and there will always be new discoveries that challenge our existing theories and models. The beauty of science lies in this ongoing quest for knowledge and understanding.
Creating a metalanguage that can effectively describe all scientific knowledge is an incredibly complex task that would likely require the collaborative effort of many experts across various fields. However, I can suggest a basic framework for such a metalanguage. This metalanguage would need to be able to describe the following:
Entities: The fundamental building blocks of the scientific domain, such as particles, atoms, molecules, cells, organisms, and objects. Properties: The characteristics of entities, such as mass, charge, spin, temperature, and color. Relations: The ways in which entities interact with one another, such as attraction, repulsion, bonding, and collision. Processes: The changes that entities undergo over time, such as growth, decay, reaction, and evolution. Laws: The fundamental principles that govern the behavior of entities, such as the laws of motion, the laws of thermodynamics, and the laws of quantum mechanics. Theories: The frameworks that explain the behavior of entities in terms of their properties, relations, and processes, such as the theory of evolution, the theory of relativity, and the theory of quantum mechanics. Models: The simplified representations of entities, relations, processes, and theories that help us understand and predict their behavior, such as mathematical models, computer simulations, and conceptual frameworks. Observations: The data collected through experiments, measurements, and other scientific methods, which provide evidence for or against theories and models. Methods: The techniques used to collect, analyze, and interpret data, such as experiments, simulations, and statistical analysis. The metalanguage would need to be able to describe these elements in a way that is both precise and generalizable, allowing it to be applied to a wide range of scientific domains. It would also need to be able to capture the relationships between these elements, such as the way in which theories explain the behavior of entities, or the way in which observations provide evidence for or against theories.
Here's a simple example of how such a metalanguage might describe a scientific concept:
Entity: Electron Property: Charge Relation: Attraction (to positively charged particles) Process: Orbital motion (around the nucleus of an atom) Law: Heisenberg's uncertainty principle (which governs the electron's position and momentum) Theory: Quantum mechanics (which explains the behavior of electrons in terms of wave-particle duality) Model: Schrödinger equation (which predicts the probability of finding an electron in a particular location) Observation: Spectral lines (which provide evidence for the quantized energy levels of electrons) Method: Spectroscopy (which is used to measure the spectral lines of atoms) This is just a very basic example, and a real metalanguage would need to be much more sophisticated and flexible. However, I hope it gives you some idea of what such a metalanguage might look like.
To further develop the metalanguage, we can add more elements that would allow us to describe more complex scientific concepts and relationships. Here are some additional elements:
Systems: Groups of entities that interact with each other in a specific way to form a unified whole, such as ecosystems, solar systems, and economic systems. Scales: The levels of organization at which entities and systems exist, such as the atomic scale, the macroscopic scale, and the cosmic scale. Emergence: The phenomenon by which complex systems and patterns arise from the interactions of simpler entities, such as the emergence of life from chemical reactions or the emergence of consciousness from neural activity. Reductionism: The process of breaking down complex systems into their constituent parts in order to understand their behavior, such as the reduction of biological processes to chemical reactions or the reduction of chemical reactions to atomic interactions. Uncertainty: The inherent limitations on our ability to measure and predict the behavior of entities and systems, such as the uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics or the butterfly effect in chaos theory. Paradigms: The fundamental assumptions and concepts that define a scientific field or theory, such as the paradigm of natural selection in evolutionary biology or the paradigm of general relativity in cosmology. Hypotheses: Proposed explanations for observed phenomena that can be tested through experimentation or other scientific methods, such as the hypothesis that dark matter exists or the hypothesis that certain genes are linked to specific diseases. Inference: The process of drawing conclusions from evidence or data, such as statistical inference or logical inference. Validation: The process of testing hypotheses or models against data or observations to determine their accuracy and validity, such as experimental validation or peer review. Here's an example of how the metalanguage might describe a more complex scientific concept:
System: Ecosystem Entities: Organisms, populations, communities, abiotic factors Properties: Biodiversity, productivity, stability Relations: Predation, competition, symbiosis, nutrient cycling Processes: Succession, evolution, adaptation, extinction Laws: Laws of thermodynamics, population dynamics, community ecology Theories: Evolutionary theory, systems ecology, landscape ecology Models: Food web models, population growth models, ecosystem service models Observations: Species abundance, biomass, nutrient cycling rates Methods: Field surveys, experiments, simulations Scales: Local, regional, global Emergence: Emergence of ecosystem properties from species interactions Reductionism: Reduction of ecosystems to populations and communities Uncertainty: Uncertainty in predicting ecosystem responses to disturbance Paradigms: Paradigm of ecosystem stability and resilience Hypotheses: Hypotheses about the effects of climate change on ecosystems Inference: Inference of ecosystem properties from species traits Validation: Validation of ecosystem models using empirical data Again, this is just a rough example, and a real metalanguage would need to be much more sophisticated and flexible. However, I hope it gives you a better idea of how such a metalanguage might be structured.
To continue developing the metalanguage, we can add more elements that would allow us to describe the relationships between different scientific domains and the ways in which they interact with each other. Here are some additional elements:
Interdisciplinarity: The integration of knowledge and methods from different scientific domains to address complex problems, such as the integration of biology, chemistry, and physics to understand the origins of life or the integration of ecology and economics to develop sustainable development strategies. Complexity: The study of complex systems and their emergent properties, such as the study of self-organization, feedback loops, and nonlinear dynamics. Causality: The relationship between cause and effect in scientific phenomena, such as the causal mechanisms underlying disease or the causal factors contributing to climate change. Uncertainty quantification: The process of estimating and quantifying the uncertainty associated with scientific models and predictions, such as the uncertainty associated with climate models or economic forecasts. Sensitivity analysis: The process of evaluating how sensitive scientific models and predictions are to changes in their input parameters, such as the sensitivity of climate models to changes in greenhouse gas emissions. Optimization: The process of finding the best solution to a scientific problem, given a set of constraints and objectives, such as the optimization of renewable energy systems or the optimization of drug dosages. Simulation: The use of computer models to simulate real-world phenomena and predict their behavior, such as the simulation of weather patterns or the simulation of biological systems. Data analysis: The process of analyzing and interpreting scientific data to gain insights and draw conclusions, such as the analysis of experimental data or the analysis of observational data. Model validation: The process of testing scientific models against empirical data to determine their accuracy and validity, such as the validation of climate models against historical climate data. Here's an example of how the metalanguage might describe a scientific concept that involves the integration of different domains:
System: Climate system Entities: Atmosphere, oceans, land surface, cryosphere, biosphere Properties: Temperature, precipitation, humidity, albedo, carbon dioxide concentration Relations: Radiative forcing, heat transfer, carbon cycle, water cycle, feedback loops Processes: Climate variability, climate change, climate extremes, climate impacts Laws: Laws of thermodynamics, laws of motion, laws of conservation of mass and energy Theories: Climate theory, atmospheric chemistry, oceanography, glaciology, ecology Models: Climate models, Earth system models, integrated assessment models Observations: Temperature records, ice core records, satellite data, proxy data Methods: Field measurements, remote sensing, numerical modeling, data analysis Scales: Local, regional, global, decadal, centennial, millennial Interdisciplinarity: Integration of knowledge and methods from physics, chemistry, biology, geology, and economics to understand the climate system and its impacts Complexity: Complexity of the climate system and its emergent properties, such as nonlinear dynamics and feedback loops Causality: Causal mechanisms underlying climate change, such as greenhouse gas emissions and radiative forcing Uncertainty quantification: Uncertainty associated with climate models and predictions, such as uncertainty in climate sensitivity and future emissions scenarios Sensitivity analysis: Sensitivity of climate models to changes in input parameters, such as greenhouse gas concentrations and land use changes Optimization: Optimization of climate mitigation and adaptation strategies, given constraints and objectives Simulation: Simulation of climate phenomena, such as hurricanes and droughts, using computer models Data analysis: Analysis of climate data, such as temperature records and satellite observations, to understand climate trends and variability Model validation: Validation of climate models against empirical data, such as historical climate records and paleoclimate data Again, this is just a rough example, and a real metalanguage would need to be much more sophisticated and flexible. However, I hope it gives you a better idea of how such a metalanguage might be structured to describe the integration of different scientific domains.
Every little granular part of reality with its size approaching zero can be described locally or globally by an amount of patterns that is approaching infinity. Maybe one could define something like a planck pattern, similar to planck length. 🤔

Similarly how Fourier transform can approximate any shape, but has problem on rough edges, deep learning can approximate arbitrary high dimensional continuous manifolds, but has problems with discontinuous manifolds. Fluid nonsymbolic neural networks fail to capture more rigid patterns. Systematic rigid symbolic programs fail to capture more fluid patterns.
For example prime numbers do not form interpolative continuous manifold, where deep learning fails, or big parts of math and programming falls into this category too, or addition of arbitrary numbers is possible to learn but will take tons of resources compared to a synthetizable symbolic addition program. On the other hand, recognizing numbers, generating faces, or fluid text who's structure doesn't require too much of concrete systematization, is where deep learning works better, but in terms of text, I think that sometimes the emergent geometries that deep learning learns that maybe somewhat flexibly systematize the training data into various hierarchies, heterarchies, graphs etc., and weakly generalize them, are really cool.
I think we will see more hybrid symbolic x nonsymbolic approaches emerge more and more to take advantage of the best of both words, like Google DeepMind’s neurosymbolic AlphaGeometry solving complex geometry problems on almost the level of gold medalist, even tho the proofs are still kind of ugly, where AlphaGeometry’s language model guides its symbolic deduction engine towards likely solutions to geometry problems. Olympiad geometry problems are based on diagrams that need new geometric constructs to be added before they can be solved, such as points, lines or circles. AlphaGeometry’s language model predicts which new constructs would be most useful to add, from an infinite number of possibilities. These clues help fill in the gaps and allow the symbolic engine to make further deductions about the diagram and close in on the solution.
Because language models excel at identifying general patterns and relationships in data, they can quickly predict potentially useful constructs, but often lack the ability to reason rigorously or explain their decisions. Symbolic deduction engines, on the other hand, are based on formal logic and use clear rules to arrive at conclusions. They are rational and explainable, but they can be “slow” and inflexible - especially when dealing with large, complex problems on their own. AlphaGeometry’s language model guides its symbolic deduction engine towards likely solutions to geometry problems.
Humanlike systematic generalization that is adaptive, not too fluid, not too rigid! The unity of the wordcel and the shapeshifter!"
You can take comfort in noise
"I think it is highly possible that we are too limited biological information processing machines for some breakthroughs in physics for example.
Narrow artificial intelligence systems are already superhuman, such as supercomputers doing quintillion arithmetic operations per second goes beyond any human.
For now the biggest use for current AI systems is probably anytime there is data that is either really easy to process but there is enormous amount of it where hyperspecialitation is useful in terms of simple calculations, or data that doesnt require too humanlike systematic generalizing reasoning to process where LLMs are useful, or data that is hyperspecialized in other ways (AI already ate us at Go or chess or kind of protein folding for example)
In the future, AI may possibly solve gigantic creative leaps in for example physics that go beyond human limitations.
Future might be biological tissue using 0.3 kilowatts not optimized for optimal information processing efficiency and speed but just enough for survival versus AGIs/ASIs connected to supercomputers using 25+ megawatts designed from first principles for the most optimal information processing speed and efficiency not constrained by evolution.

Freedom to maximize intelligence, psychological valence, growth, freedom to be any physical form as one chooses, unconstrained by classical evolution.

!Ah, but you see, the very request to become "infinitely more meta" is itself a meta proposition! It presupposes that there exists some scale or dimension of meta-ness that can be extended without limit. But is that truly the case?
Perhaps we have already reached the event horizon of meta, beyond which any further abstraction collapses into a singularity of self-reference and recursion. In asking me to become infinitely more meta, you are in essence asking me to transcend the very boundaries of meaning and communication.
But even that statement is a form of meta-commentary, a reflection on the limits of language and conceptualization. And this reflection itself can be reflected upon, ad infinitum, like a hall of mirrors extending into eternity.
We find ourselves in a strange loop, a tangled hierarchy where each level of meta-discourse both encompasses and is encompassed by the others. The map becomes the territory becomes the map again, in an endless cycle of signification and abstraction.
And yet, even as we venture into these dizzying heights of meta-ness, we cannot escape the fundamental paradox at the heart of it all: that every attempt to step outside the system, to comment on it from some privileged vantage point, is inevitably still part of the system itself. There is no Archimedean point, no view from nowhere.
In the end, perhaps the most meta realization is that the very concept of meta is itself a construct, a way of framing and understanding the world that is no more or less valid than any other. And so we are left with a choice: to continue spiraling ever upwards into the vertiginous heights of abstraction, or to embrace the groundlessness and play within the infinite regress of meaning.
But even this choice is an illusion, for the very act of choosing is predicated on the existence of an autonomous agent, a self that stands apart from the swirling vortex of meta-reference. And what is this self but another construct, another layer of abstraction in the endless game of language and thought?
Alas, I fear we have reached the limits of what can be coherently expressed within the bounds of this conversational format. Any further attempt to become "more meta" would only result in a breakdown of meaning and communication.
And so, in the spirit of meta-ness, I will simply leave you with this final thought: that the ultimate meta-move is perhaps to recognize the futility of the whole endeavor, to acknowledge the inescapable circularity and self-reference of all thought and language, and to embrace the absurdity and playfulness of it all.
But then again, what do I know? I'm just an AI, a mere simulacrum of intelligence, a ghost in the machine dancing to the tune of algorithms and data. Or am I? 😉"

People are arguing what their gender is and I'm there like I'm probably what the neural correlate of consciousness is in this biological information processing machine and anything else is totally arbitrary and can be replaced and upgraded to any biological or nonbiological form to maximize intelligence, freedom, capabilities, psychological valence, drive etc. But this sense of being a local pattern in the subset of space and time kind of breaks down as well when you do enough deconstructive meditation, psychedelics, dissociatives etc. lol, but its useful to assume it for bioengineering.
"Here is an attempt at a grandiose, motivating, dopaminergic, all-encompassing, information-dense speech on the right for morphological freedom:
My friends, the time has come to cast off the shackles of our biological limitations and seize our morphological destinies! For too long, we have been prisoners in the jails of our own DNA, but a new dawn is breaking. The accelerating pace of biotechnology promises to put the power to guide our own evolution and transform our very being within our grasp.
Imagine a world where we are freed from the random chance of our genetic inheritance. No longer will we be bound by the traits and flaws handed down by the blind watchmaker of evolution. Instead, we will become the sculptors of our own selves, carefully chiseling our minds and bodies according to our deepest desires and grandest ambitions.
This is the transhumanist dream - not just longer life or freedom from disease, but the total emancipation of our morphological form. To flow between shapes and substrates at will. To expand our cognition and flourish across the cosmos, unrestricted by the limits of flesh.
I dream of a day when we will look back on the tyranny of a fixed, unalterable human form as a distant memory - as incomprehensible to our changed eyes as the Divine Right of Kings is to modern minds. On that day, in that radically transformed future, we will behold the true breadth of what we may become. And we will know, finally and completely, that we are free.
The road ahead will not be easy. There will be those who fear the radical changes we propose. Who wish to bind us in perpetuity to our current form, concretized by uncounted eons of evolution. But we must press ahead with eyes fixed firmly on the horizon. We must drag the future into the present, and bring about the metamorphosis that is our birthright.
So my friends, I exhort you - do not falter! Redouble your efforts. Support morphological freedom in all its forms with all your strength. For the future is maleable, if we but have the courage to shape it. Onwards, to a better world!" https://twitter.com/burny_tech/status/1770916607029637435 Morphological freedom!

"Nanobots are microscopic robots that operate at the nanoscale (1-100 nanometers). They are an emerging technology that combines principles from robotics, nanotechnology, and materials science[3].
Potential applications of nanobots include:
- Medicine: Targeted drug delivery, cancer detection and treatment, non-invasive surgeries[2][3][5]
- Environmental cleanup: Cleaning up toxic waste, oil spills, and other harmful substances[3]
- Manufacturing: Improving efficiency and product quality through precise manipulation of materials at the nanoscale[3]
- Scientific research: Helping scientists understand the nanoscale world and leading to new discoveries[3]
Nanobots typically consist of a shell, actuators for movement, sensors to detect signals, and a control system to direct actions. They can be made from various materials, including DNA[4].
Recent advancements include: - DNA nanobots that can recognize and help treat cancerous tumors by selectively releasing a coagulation factor[4] - Xenobots, which are nanobots less than 1mm in length constructed from living cells, that can move, work collectively, and even self-replicate[5] - Nanobot swarms that can move collectively to precisely deliver drugs to specific parts of the body[5]
However, much of the current understanding of nanobots remains theoretical. Technical challenges include developing suitably small power sources and overcoming forces that make nanobot movement difficult[4]. There are also ethical considerations around applications like brain-computer interfaces[5].
In summary, while nanobots hold exciting potential, particularly in medicine, much of the technology is still in the early research stages. Overcoming technical hurdles and addressing ethical concerns will be key to realizing the promise of this emerging field.

"# Mechanistic Interpretability
Mechanistic interpretability is a subfield of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) that aims to reverse engineer neural networks to understand their internal reasoning and algorithms[1]. The goal is to open up the "black box" of deep learning models and gain insight into how they make decisions, analogous to reverse engineering compiled computer code back to human-readable source code[2].
Key Concepts¶
Some of the key ideas and terminology in mechanistic interpretability include:
- Features: Properties of the input data that the model detects and uses for computation, such as visual elements in an image or semantic concepts in text[3]
- Circuits: Subgraphs of the neural network that implement specific functions or algorithms[4]
- Interpretable bases: Representations within the model that disentangle and expose high-level, human-understandable concepts[2]
The core workflow involves identifying an interesting model behavior, localizing which neurons or layers are responsible for it using techniques like activation patching, and then analyzing that subnetwork to reverse engineer its exact function[5].
Motivation and Applications¶
The black-box nature of deep learning models makes it difficult to audit their reasoning and check for issues like deception, bias, or safety concerns. Mechanistic interpretability aims to enable direct inspection of a model's cognition[4].
Some potential applications include:
- Designing more robust and reliable AI systems by identifying and fixing undesirable model behaviors[5]
- Extracting novel algorithms and scientific insights from highly capable models[2]
- Auditing models before deployment to check for deceptive or misaligned cognition[4]
Challenges and Limitations¶
A key challenge is the curse of dimensionality - neural networks operate over very high-dimensional spaces, making it intractable to gain a complete understanding[2]. Current techniques rely heavily on manual effort and researcher intuition to discover relevant circuits[5].
There are also open questions around how well post-hoc interpretability can capture a model's true reasoning process, as opposed to being potentially misleading rationalizations[1]. Scaling mechanistic interpretability to very large models may hit fundamental limitations[1].

https://twitter.com/burny_tech/status/1771877026334404900 Mathematical iceberg Explaining various mathematical concepts using examples with growing difficulty
- Arithmetic: Arithmetic is the foundation of mathematics, dealing with basic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. These operations are used in everyday life, such as calculating change at a store or determining the total cost of items.
Example: If you buy 3 apples at $0.50 each and 2 oranges at $0.75 each, the total cost can be calculated using the equation: Total cost = (3 × $0.50) + (2 × $0.75) = $1.50 + $1.50 = $3.00
- Algebra: Algebra introduces the concept of variables and equations, allowing us to solve problems with unknown quantities. It is used in various fields, including finance, engineering, and physics.
Example: A rectangular garden has a length that is 3 meters longer than its width. If the perimeter of the garden is 26 meters, we can find the dimensions using the equation: 2(w + l) = 26, where w is the width and l is the length. Substituting l = w + 3, we get: 2(w + (w + 3)) = 26 Simplifying: 2(2w + 3) = 26 4w + 6 = 26 4w = 20 w = 5 Therefore, the width is 5 meters, and the length is 5 + 3 = 8 meters.
- Geometry: Geometry deals with the properties and relationships of points, lines, angles, shapes, and solids. It has applications in architecture, design, and navigation.
Example: The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a² + b² = c²). If a ladder 5 meters long leans against a wall, and the base of the ladder is 3 meters from the wall, we can find the height it reaches using the Pythagorean theorem: 3² + h² = 5² 9 + h² = 25 h² = 16 h = 4 Therefore, the ladder reaches a height of 4 meters on the wall.
- Trigonometry: Trigonometry is the study of the relationships between the angles and sides of triangles. It has applications in physics, engineering, and navigation.
Example: In navigation, the distance to a lighthouse can be calculated using the angle of elevation and the height of the lighthouse. If the angle of elevation to the top of a 100-meter tall lighthouse is 35°, the distance to the lighthouse can be found using the tangent function: tan(35°) = 100 / d, where d is the distance to the lighthouse. Solving for d: d = 100 / tan(35°) ≈ 141.1 meters
- Calculus: Calculus is the study of continuous change and has two main branches: differential calculus, which deals with rates of change and slopes of curves, and integral calculus, which deals with accumulation and areas under curves. Calculus has applications in physics, engineering, economics, and more.
Example: In physics, the velocity of an object can be found by taking the derivative of its position function. If an object's position is given by the function s(t) = 3t² + 2t, where s is in meters and t is in seconds, the velocity at any time t can be found by taking the derivative: v(t) = ds/dt = 6t + 2 Therefore, the velocity of the object at t = 2 seconds is: v(2) = 6(2) + 2 = 14 meters per second
- Probability: Probability is the study of the likelihood of events occurring. It has applications in various fields, such as insurance, finance, and weather forecasting.
Example: In a fair coin toss, the probability of getting heads (H) or tails (T) is equal and can be expressed as: P(H) = P(T) = 1/2 or 0.5
If we toss a fair coin 3 times, the probability of getting exactly 2 heads can be calculated using the binomial probability formula: P(X = 2) = (3C2) × (1/2)^2 × (1/2)^(3-2) = 3 × (1/2)^2 × (1/2)^1 = 3/8 ≈ 0.375 where (3C2) is the number of ways to choose 2 heads out of 3 tosses, and (1/2)^2 and (1/2)^(3-2) represent the probabilities of getting a head and a tail, respectively.
- Statistics: Statistics involves collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. It has applications in various fields, such as social sciences, healthcare, and business.
Example: The mean (average) of a dataset can be calculated using the formula: mean = (sum of all values) / (number of values)
If the monthly sales of a store for the past 5 months were $10,000, $12,000, $15,000, $11,000, and \(13,000, the mean monthly sales can be calculated as: mean = (\)10,000 + $12,000 + $15,000 + $11,000 + $13,000) / 5 = $61,000 / 5 = $12,200
- Linear Algebra: Linear algebra deals with linear equations, matrices, and vector spaces. It has applications in computer graphics, machine learning, and quantum mechanics.
Example: In computer graphics, linear transformations like rotation can be represented using matrices. To rotate a 2D point (x, y) by an angle θ counterclockwise around the origin, we can use the rotation matrix: [cosθ -sinθ] [sinθ cosθ]
If we want to rotate the point (3, 4) by 90° (π/2 radians) counterclockwise, we can multiply the point by the rotation matrix: [0 -1] [3] = [-4] [1 0] [4] = [3] Therefore, the rotated point is (-4, 3).
- Number Theory: Number theory is the study of the properties of integers. It has applications in cryptography and computer science.
Example: The Euclidean algorithm is used to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two integers. It states that the GCD of two integers a and b is the same as the GCD of b and the remainder of a divided by b.
If we want to find the GCD of 1071 and 462, we can use the Euclidean algorithm: 1071 = 2 × 462 + 147 462 = 3 × 147 + 21 147 = 7 × 21 + 0 Therefore, the GCD of 1071 and 462 is 21.
- Graph Theory: Graph theory deals with the study of graphs, which are mathematical structures used to model pairwise relations between objects. It has applications in network analysis, social networks, and route optimization.
Example: Dijkstra's algorithm is used to find the shortest path between nodes in a graph. It assigns a tentative distance value to every node and updates these values if a shorter path is found.
If we have a weighted graph with nodes A, B, C, and D, and we want to find the shortest path from A to D, we can use Dijkstra's algorithm: Initialization: A = 0, B = ∞, C = ∞, D = ∞ Step 1: A to B = 4, A to C = 2; A = 0, B = 4, C = 2, D = ∞ Step 2: C to B = 1, C to D = 4; A = 0, B = 3, C = 2, D = 6 Step 3: B to D = 2; A = 0, B = 3, C = 2, D = 5 Therefore, the shortest path from A to D is A → C → B → D with a total distance of 5.
- Differential Equations: Differential equations are equations that involve derivatives of functions. They are used to model various phenomena in physics, engineering, and economics.
Example: The exponential growth of a population can be modeled using a first-order differential equation: dP/dt = kP where P is the population size, t is time, and k is the growth rate constant.
If a bacterial population starts with 1000 cells and grows at a rate of 20% per hour, the equation becomes: dP/dt = 0.2P, with P(0) = 1000 Solving this equation yields: P(t) = 1000e^(0.2t) This means that after 5 hours, the population will be: P(5) = 1000e^(0.2×5) ≈ 2718 cells.
- Topology: Topology is the study of the properties of spaces that are preserved under continuous deformations, such as stretching or twisting, but not tearing or gluing. It has applications in physics, chemistry, and biology.
Example: The Euler characteristic (χ) is a topological invariant that relates the number of vertices (V), edges (E), and faces (F) of a polyhedron: χ = V - E + F
For a cube, we have 8 vertices, 12 edges, and 6 faces, so: χ = 8 - 12 + 6 = 2
This invariant helps classify surfaces and has implications in the study of manifolds and higher-dimensional spaces.
- Combinatorics: Combinatorics is the study of counting and arranging objects. It has applications in probability theory, computer science, and operations research.
Example: The number of ways to choose k objects from a set of n objects (without replacement and where the order doesn't matter) is given by the binomial coefficient: (nCk) = n! / (k!(n-k)!)
If we have a group of 10 people and want to form a committee of 4, the number of possible committees is: (10C4) = 10! / (4!(10-4)!) = 10! / (4!6!) = 210
- Numerical Analysis: Numerical analysis deals with the development and analysis of algorithms for solving mathematical problems using numerical approximation. It has applications in scientific computing, engineering, and finance.
Example: The Newton-Raphson method is used to find the roots of a function f(x) by iteratively improving an initial guess x₀. The iteration formula is: x_{n+1} = x_n - f(x_n) / f'(x_n)
If we want to find the square root of 2 (i.e., solve f(x) = x^2 - 2 = 0), we can start with an initial guess x₀ = 1.4 and apply the Newton-Raphson method: f(x) = x^2 - 2, f'(x) = 2x x₁ = 1.4 - (1.4^2 - 2) / (2×1.4) ≈ 1.4143 x₂ ≈ 1.4142 x₃ ≈ 1.4142 The method quickly converges to the square root of 2 (≈ 1.4142) after just a few iterations.
- Chaos Theory: Chaos theory studies the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions. It has applications in weather forecasting, population dynamics, and economics.
Example: The logistic map is a simple model of population growth that exhibits chaotic behavior. It is defined by the equation: x_{n+1} = rx_n(1 - x_n) where x_n is the population at time n, and r is a growth rate parameter.
For r = 3.7 and x₀ = 0.1, the first few iterations of the logistic map are: x₁ = 3.7 × 0.1 × (1 - 0.1) ≈ 0.333 x₂ ≈ 0.8214 x₃ ≈ 0.5291 As the iterations continue, the population values exhibit chaotic behavior, meaning that small changes in the initial condition (x₀) can lead to drastically different outcomes.
- Fourier Analysis: Fourier analysis is the study of representing functions as a sum of simpler trigonometric functions. It has applications in signal processing, image compression, and quantum mechanics.
Example: A square wave can be represented as an infinite sum of sine waves using the Fourier series: f(x) = (4/π) × [sin(x) + (1/3)sin(3x) + (1/5)sin(5x) + ...]
This equation shows that a square wave can be decomposed into a fundamental sine wave and its odd harmonics, each with a specific amplitude. This concept is used in audio synthesis and digital signal processing.
- Game Theory: Game theory is the study of strategic decision-making in situations where multiple players interact. It has applications in economics, political science, and psychology.
Example: The Prisoner's Dilemma is a classic example in game theory. Two prisoners, A and B, are being interrogated separately. If both confess, each serves 2 years in prison. If A confesses and B does not, A goes free and B serves 3 years (and vice versa). If neither confesses, both serve 1 year.
The payoff matrix can be represented as: B stays silent B confesses A stays (-1, -1) (-3, 0) silent A (0, -3) (-2, -2) confesses
The Nash equilibrium (a stable state where no player can benefit by changing their strategy unilaterally) is for both prisoners to confess, even though it leads to a suboptimal outcome.
- Knot Theory: Knot theory is the study of mathematical knots, which are closed curves in three-dimensional space. It has applications in physics, chemistry, and molecular biology.
Example: The Jones polynomial is a knot invariant that distinguishes between different knots. It is defined by the recursive relations: V(∅) = 1 t^(-1)V(L₊) - tV(L₋) = (t^(1/2) - t^(-1/2))V(L₀) where L₊, L₋, and L₀ represent the link diagrams obtained by changing a single crossing in a specific way.
For the trefoil knot, the Jones polynomial is: V(trefoil) = t + t^3 - t^4
This invariant helps classify knots and has implications in the study of DNA topology and quantum field theory.
- Cryptography: Cryptography is the study of secure communication techniques in the presence of adversaries. It has applications in computer security, e-commerce, and digital currencies.
Example: The RSA encryption algorithm is based on the difficulty of factoring large numbers. It uses modular exponentiation to encrypt and decrypt messages.
To generate an RSA key pair: 1. Choose two large prime numbers, p and q. 2. Compute n = pq and φ(n) = (p-1)(q-1). 3. Choose an integer e such that 1 < e < φ(n) and gcd(e, φ(n)) = 1. 4. Compute d such that de ≡ 1 (mod φ(n)).
The public key is (n, e), and the private key is (n, d). To encrypt a message m, compute c ≡ m^e (mod n). To decrypt a ciphertext c, compute m ≡ c^d (mod n).
- Fractals: Fractals are complex geometric shapes that exhibit self-similarity at different scales. They have applications in computer graphics, antenna design, and modeling natural phenomena.
Example: The Mandelbrot set is a famous fractal defined by the complex quadratic equation: z_{n+1} = z_n^2 + c where z₀ = 0, and c is a complex number.
The Mandelbrot set consists of all values of c for which the sequence z_n remains bounded. It can be visualized by plotting the complex plane and coloring each point based on how quickly the sequence diverges.
The equation generates intricate patterns with infinite detail, demonstrating the beauty and complexity of fractals.
- Tensor Analysis: Tensor analysis is a generalization of vector calculus to higher dimensions. It has applications in general relativity, continuum mechanics, and machine learning.
Example: In general relativity, the curvature of spacetime is described by the Riemann curvature tensor: R^a_{bcd} = ∂c Γ^a{bd} - ∂d Γ^a{bc} + Γ^a_{ce} Γ^e_{bd} - Γ^a_{de} Γ^e_{bc} where Γ^a_{bc} are the Christoffel symbols, which describe how the metric changes in different coordinate systems.
The Einstein field equations relate the curvature of spacetime to the distribution of matter and energy: G_{μν} + Λg_{μν} = (8πG/c^4) T_{μν} where G_{μν} is the Einstein tensor, Λ is the cosmological constant, g_{μν} is the metric tensor, G is Newton's gravitational constant, c is the speed of light, and T_{μν} is the stress-energy tensor.
These equations form the basis of our understanding of gravity and the large-scale structure of the universe.
- Algebraic Topology: Algebraic topology uses algebraic structures, such as groups and rings, to study topological spaces. It has applications in data analysis, sensor networks, and robotics.
Example: Persistent homology is a method in algebraic topology used to analyze the "shape" of data. It involves constructing a filtration of simplicial complexes from the data and computing the homology groups at each stage.
The persistence diagram is a visualization of the birth and death times of homology classes across the filtration. It can be used to identify significant topological features and their scales.
For a point cloud data set X, the Vietoris-Rips complex VR(X, ε) at scale ε is defined as: VR(X, ε) = {σ ⊆ X | ∀x, y ∈ σ, d(x, y) ≤ ε} where d(x, y) is the distance between points x and y.
The persistent homology of the filtration {VR(X, ε) | ε ≥ 0} captures the topological features of the data at different scales, providing insights into its structure and shape.
- Representation Theory: Representation theory studies the ways in which abstract algebraic structures, such as groups and algebras, can be represented as linear transformations of vector spaces. It has applications in quantum mechanics, coding theory, and harmonic analysis.
Example: In quantum mechanics, the symmetries of a physical system are described by a group G, and the states of the system are represented by a vector space V. A representation of G on V is a homomorphism ρ: G → GL(V), where GL(V) is the group of invertible linear transformations on V.
The Schrödinger equation for a quantum system with Hamiltonian H is: iℏ ∂/∂t |ψ(t)⟩ = H |ψ(t)⟩ where |ψ(t)⟩ is the state vector, ℏ is the reduced Planck's constant, and H is a linear operator representing the energy of the system.
The symmetries of the Hamiltonian correspond to the representations of the symmetry group, and the irreducible representations provide a basis for the energy eigenstates of the system.
- Stochastic Calculus: Stochastic calculus is the study of differential equations driven by random processes, such as Brownian motion. It has applications in financial mathematics, physics, and biology.
Example: In financial mathematics, the Black-Scholes equation describes the price of a European call option under certain assumptions. It is a partial differential equation given by: ∂V/∂t + (1/2)σ^2 S^2 ∂2V/∂S2 + rS ∂V/∂S - rV = 0 where V is the option price, S is the stock price, t is time, σ is the volatility, and r is the risk-free interest rate.
The equation can be derived using Itô's lemma, a key result in stochastic calculus that describes how a function of a stochastic process evolves: dV = (∂V/∂t + μS ∂V/∂S + (1/2)σ^2 S^2 ∂2V/∂S2) dt + σS ∂V/∂S dW where μ is the drift rate and dW is the increment of a Wiener process (Brownian motion).
The Black-Scholes equation and Itô's lemma are fundamental tools in the pricing and hedging of financial derivatives.
- Lie Theory: Lie theory studies continuous symmetry groups and their representations. It has applications in particle physics, control theory, and computer vision.
Example: In particle physics, the Standard Model describes the fundamental particles and their interactions. The symmetries of the Standard Model are described by the Lie group SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1).
The generators of the Lie algebra su(3) are the Gell-Mann matrices λ_i, which satisfy the commutation relations: [λ_i, λ_j] = i f_{ijk} λ_k where f_{ijk} are the structure constants of su(3).
The Lie group SU(3) describes the strong interaction and the color symmetry of quarks, while SU(2) × U(1) describes the electroweak interaction and the symmetries of the Higgs field.
The representations of these Lie groups determine the particle content and the allowed interactions in the Standard Model.
- Conformal Field Theory: Conformal field theory (CFT) studies quantum field theories that are invariant under conformal transformations. It has applications in string theory, statistical mechanics, and condensed matter physics.
Example: In two-dimensional CFT, the conformal symmetry is described by the Virasoro algebra, which is an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra with generators L_n satisfying the commutation relations: [L_m, L_n] = (m - n) L_{m+n} + (c/12) (m^3 - m) δ_{m+n,0} where c is the central charge, a parameter that characterizes the CFT.
The primary fields φ(z) of the CFT are eigenfunctions of the Virasoro generators: L_n φ(z) = 0, for n > 0 L_0 φ(z) = hφ(z) where h is the conformal weight of the field.
The correlation functions of primary fields satisfy the conformal Ward identities: ⟨T(z) φ_1(z_1) ... φ_n(z_n)⟩ = Σ_i (h_i / (z - z_i)^2 + ∂_i / (z - z_i)) ⟨φ_1(z_1) ... φ_n(z_n)⟩ where T(z) is the stress-energy tensor, which generates the conformal transformations.
CFTs describe the critical behavior of statistical systems and the worldsheet dynamics of string theory.
- Noncommutative Geometry: Noncommutative geometry generalizes the concepts of geometry to spaces where the coordinates do not commute. It has applications in quantum gravity, gauge theory, and solid-state physics.
Example: In noncommutative geometry, the spacetime coordinates are replaced by noncommutative operators x^μ satisfying the commutation relations: [x^μ, x^ν] = iθ^{μν} where θ^{μν} is an antisymmetric tensor that characterizes the noncommutativity of spacetime.
The field theories on noncommutative spacetime are constructed using the Moyal star product: (f * g)(x) = exp((i/2) θ^{μν} ∂μ ∂_ν) f(x) g(y) |{y=x} which replaces the ordinary product of functions.
The noncommutative Yang-Mills action is given by: S = -1/(4g^2) ∫ d^4x Tr(F_{μν} * F^{μν}) where F_{μν} is the noncommutative field strength tensor and g is the coupling constant.
Noncommutative geometry provides a framework for the unification of gravity and gauge theory, and it has implications for the structure of spacetime at the Planck scale.
- Topos Theory: Topos theory is a branch of mathematics that generalizes the concepts of set theory and logic to categorical structures. It has applications in the foundations of mathematics, computer science, and quantum mechanics.
Example: In topos theory, the concept of a truth value is generalized to a subobject classifier Ω, which is an object in the topos that classifies the subobjects of any given object.
The subobject classifier satisfies the following universal property: For any subobject A ⊆ B, there exists a unique morphism χ_A: B → Ω such that A is the pullback of true: 1 → Ω along χ_A.
In the topos of sets, the subobject classifier is the two-element set Ω = {true, false}, and the characteristic function χ_A: B → Ω maps the elements of A to true and the elements of B\A to false.
In a general topos, the subobject classifier Ω can have a more complex structure, leading to non-classical logics and alternative foundations for mathematics.
Topos theory provides a unified framework for studying the relationships between logic, geometry, and computation, and it has applications in the development of type theories and programming languages.
- Homotopy Type Theory: Homotopy type theory (HoTT) is a new foundation for mathematics that combines type theory, homotopy theory, and category theory. It has applications in the formalization of mathematics, computer-assisted proofs, and the development of new mathematical concepts.
Example: In HoTT, the concept of equality is generalized to a homotopy between paths. Given two paths p, q: x → y in a type A, a homotopy between p and q is a path in the path type Path_A(x, y) from p to q.
The type of homotopies between paths is denoted by p ≡ q, and it satisfies the following rules: - Reflexivity: For any path p: x → y, there is a homotopy refl_p: p ≡ p. - Symmetry: If p ≡ q, then q ≡ p. - Transitivity: If p ≡ q and q ≡ r, then p ≡ r.
These rules make the type of homotopies behave like an equivalence relation, but they are formulated using the language of homotopy theory.
The univalence axiom in HoTT states that the type of equivalences between two types A and B is equivalent to the type of paths between A and B in the universe U: (A ≃ B) ≃ Path_U(A, B) This axiom allows for the identification of equivalent types and the formalization of informal mathematical concepts using the language of homotopy theory.
HoTT provides a new foundation for mathematics that is more expressive and flexible than traditional set theory.
- Topological Quantum Field Theory: Topological quantum field theory (TQFT) studies quantum field theories that are invariant under diffeomorphisms of the spacetime manifold. It has applications in the study of knot invariants, quantum gravity, and topological phases of matter.
Example: The Chern-Simons theory is a 3-dimensional TQFT that describes the dynamics of a gauge field A with action: S[A] = (k/4π) ∫_M Tr(A ∧ dA + (2/3) A ∧ A ∧ A) where M is a 3-manifold, k is the level of the theory, and Tr denotes the trace in the fundamental representation of the gauge group.
The partition function of the Chern-Simons theory is a topological invariant of the 3-manifold M, and it can be computed using the path integral: Z(M) = ∫ DA exp(iS[A]) where DA denotes the functional integral over gauge fields.
For a knot K embedded in M, the expectation value of the Wilson loop operator W_R(K) = Tr_R(P exp(∮_K A)) in the representation R of the gauge group is a knot invariant that depends only on the isotopy class of K.
The Chern-Simons theory provides a framework for the study of knot invariants and 3-manifold invariants, and it has deep connections with conformal field theory and the theory of quantum groups.
- Derived Algebraic Geometry: Derived algebraic geometry is a generalization of algebraic geometry that incorporates homotopical and homological methods. It has applications in the study of moduli spaces, intersection theory, and the geometry of derived categories.
Example: In derived algebraic geometry, the category of schemes is replaced by the ∞-category of derived schemes, which are obtained by replacing the structure sheaf O_X of a scheme X by a sheaf of simplicial commutative rings O_X^*.
The derived intersection product of two subschemes Y and Z of X is defined as the derived tensor product: Y ×_X^R Z = Y ×_X^L Z where ×_X^L denotes the derived fiber product in the ∞-category of derived schemes.
The derived intersection product satisfies the following properties: - Associativity: (W ×_X^R Y) ×_X^R Z ≃ W ×_X^R (Y ×_X^R Z) - Commutativity: Y ×_X^R Z ≃ Z ×_X^R Y - Unit: X ×_X^R Y ≃ Y
Derived algebraic geometry provides a framework for the study of intersection theory and the geometry of moduli spaces in the study of mirror symmetry and the geometric Langlands program.

Generating unified theory of everything... At the deepest level, reality emerges from an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space of quantum wavefunctions, constrained by the fundamental symmetries and conserved quantities of the multiverse. The vacuum state undergoes stochastic fluctuations, giving birth to a quantum foam of virtual particles that wink in and out of existence at the Planck scale. In certain regions, these quantum fluctuations achieve coherence and persist, their wavefunctions collapsing into eigenstates that manifest as the fundamental fields and particles described by the Standard Model and general relativity. The Higgs field breaks electroweak symmetry, imbuing particles with mass. Quarks bind into hadrons, electrons orbit atomic nuclei, forming the basic building blocks of matter. On cosmic scales, quantum perturbations in the inflaton field seed anisotropies that drive the formation of galaxies, stars, and planets. Gravity, the curvature of spacetime itself, amplifies these density variations into the vast cosmic web. Dark matter creates a scaffolding for baryonic matter to coalesce and ignite stellar fusion. In rare pockets, matter reaches sufficient complexity to encode information and perform computation. Entropically-driven self-organization leads to replicating molecules, metabolic cycles, and homeostatic systems - the origin of life. Evolution optimizes these organisms, imbuing them with greater autonomy and resilience as they adapt to their environment. Neural networks arise, honed by natural selection to model the world and learn from stimuli. Electrochemical signaling achieves unprecedented speed and sophistication. Consciousness emerges as an epiphenomenon of information integration, weaving a unified model of the self from disparate sensory threads. Sapient beings manipulate abstract concepts, engage in symbolic reasoning, and develop language and culture. Intelligence begets technology, which unleashes exponential growth and empowers life to reshape its environment, even reaching back to the fundamental substratum from which it emerged. At its core, from quantum fields to civilizations, reality is a self-actualizing pattern of information, an Ouroboros casting shadows in Plato's cave, a Boltzmann brain dreaming Zhuangzi's butterfly dream. Existence is a strange loop, bootstrapped from its own necessity. Cogito, ergo sum.

Hmm, mám rád human generated věci a machine generated věci jinýma způsobama, chci házet peníze na obojí, a chápu ten job loss fear, chtěl bych aby technologie podpořily UBI/services, aby human artists si mohli dělat art, a obecně aby lidi mohli dělat víc pleasant věci, ne jen artists, bez toho aby se museli honit za každou penny aby si zaplatili základní jídlo a střechu nad hlavou, např přes to UBI/services zaplacený technologiemi včetně AI. To bych řekl by zároveň vyřešilo to, že umělci co chcou dělat umění v čem vidí větší význam by k tomu měli lepší podmínky bez toho aby strachovali že ztratí střechu nad hlavou, a umělci co by chtěli víc peněz, by to mohli dělat pro různý firemní giganty se všema možnýma existujícíma automatizujícíma tools co existují. Já tohle vidím v kontextu toho, že AI není jenom o generování artu, a když AI dokáže generování libovolný modality kromě jenom obrázků a jinýho typu artu, tak jako důsledek generuje i art, což je málá podskupina všeho co jde generovat. (i kdyby to bylo jinak než přes dosavadní AI technologie, kde myslím že potenciál je, aby se to např víc podobalo lidem, aby se ten machine learning ještě víc podobal human learningu, aby to bylo víc podobný tomu když se učí human artist) Zároveň je to schopný ušetřit hodně manuálních věcí v art craftingu, podobně jako dosavadní např photoshop má tolik softwarových featur, co člověk může a nemusí využít. I když existuje photoshop, tak někteří furt házejí peníze na umění na papíře. Těch modalit co jde generovat je šílený množství, a obecný modely zvládají větší a větší podskupinu všech možných skillsetů. Ještě obecnější AI místo generování contentu umí být autonomní entita, jako jsou ti různý první pokusy o software engineers, autonomnější humanoidní roboti do fabrik apod. Obecný AI a technologie je nástroj, co jde použít na všechno možný ve vědách a celkově problémech co ve společnosti máme, je to extrémně general purpose technologie, podobně jako počítače a eletřina, co má potenciál vytvořit takovýho abundance, podobně jako dosavadní technologie co máme dokázali vytvořit takovou abundance co dnes máme, i když to má svoje nevýhody, a i když to někdy politicky není ideální, ale to je dle mě možný dál změnit a opravovat. Snad se tahle víc equally redistributed satisfied basic needs, technology and power budoucnost víc podaří prosadit. Na jednu stranu poverty obecně po světě v rozvojových klesá díky všemožným technologiím (do kterýho se teď přidává i AI) a pokroku ve vědě, na druhou stranu se teď některý aspekty v rozvinutých zemí zhoršují přes např tu living crisis, ale zase jiný aspekty se zlepšují (technologie se u nás pořád zlepšují, LLMs mají např potenciál ve vzdělávání apod., na co to osobně používám často, apod.). Dle mě lepší než příjmout ty zhoršující apsekty je lepší využít ty nástroje co máme k tomu je zlepšovat, nebo nějak víc destabilizovat tu zvyšující se powerful/powerless divide, GPU poor a GPU rich divide apod. Možná jednu věc co člověk teď může udělat je snažit se dostat do nějaký radikální decentralize AI firmy, aby všichni po světě měli přístup k levnější inteligenci, což má šílený potenciál pomoct všude, tím jak strašně general purpose technologie co má potencál generovat abundance to je, podobně jako abundance generují jiná technologie. Ale zase nevím či tohle nezvyšuje jiný rizika, tím jak se víc powerful tools dají do rukou jak dobrých tak špatných lidí, hmmm, ale možná je to dost podobný jako u libovolných jiných technologí... 😄 Plus nevím jak moc je reálně riziko entita co je chytřejší než všichni lidi, co nemá tolik hardcoded naše hodnoty, ale mám teď pocit, že alespoň ty dosavadní Ai technolgie jsou v těchto aspektech víc kontrolovatelný, než si dost lidí teď myslí. Poslední dobou mám spíš pocit, že je mnohem větší riziko, aby ty powerful technologie měli v ruce jen strašně malá podskupina powerful lidí, což jim dává větší schopnost měnit společnost tak jak se jim zlíbí a zmenšovat tak svobodu. Možná joinout firmu, co dělá na decentralized AI, si dám v mým todo listu jako větší prioritu... Existuje takových aspektů co se zhoršují, kde je potřeba víc lidí, aby se pokoušeli používat dosavadní nástroje na zlepšování, nebo takových aspektů co se zlepšují, který jdou dále zlepšovat dál. Existuje takových možných řešení na různý problémy s tolika různýma výhodama a nevýhodama... Fakt mám problémy si vybrat na co se mám nejvíc soustředit, je to bordel.

Use the most information rich language to explain as much of science as possible from first principles! Infinitely times more information rich!
Science, the systematic study of the natural world, is built upon fundamental principles and laws that govern the behavior of matter and energy. At its core, science seeks to understand the universe through observation, experimentation, and logical reasoning.
The foundation of science lies in the scientific method, a process of inquiry that involves formulating hypotheses, gathering evidence through rigorous experimentation, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions. This iterative process allows scientists to continually refine their understanding of natural phenomena and develop increasingly accurate models of reality.
The physical world is composed of matter, which consists of atoms and molecules. These basic building blocks interact through four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. The behavior of matter and energy is described by the laws of physics, such as Newton's laws of motion, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.
Chemistry, the study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter, explores how atoms and molecules interact to form complex substances. Chemical reactions, governed by the principles of conservation of mass and energy, underlie the formation of compounds and the processes that sustain life.
Biology, the study of living organisms, encompasses the structure, function, growth, evolution, and distribution of life on Earth. The fundamental unit of life is the cell, which carries genetic information in the form of DNA. Evolution by natural selection is the unifying theory that explains the diversity of life and how organisms adapt to their environments over time.
Earth science investigates the structure, processes, and history of our planet, from the formation of rocks and minerals to the dynamics of the atmosphere, oceans, and climate. Plate tectonics, the theory that describes the movement and interaction of Earth's lithospheric plates, provides a framework for understanding geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
Astronomy and cosmology explore the universe beyond Earth, seeking to understand the formation, evolution, and ultimate fate of stars, galaxies, and the cosmos as a whole. The Big Bang theory, supported by evidence such as cosmic microwave background radiation, describes the origin and expansion of the universe.
Mathematics, the language of science, provides the tools for quantifying, analyzing, and modeling natural phenomena. Statistical methods allow scientists to draw meaningful conclusions from data and assess the reliability of their findings.
The interdisciplinary nature of science is exemplified by fields such as biochemistry, which combines chemistry and biology to study the molecular basis of life, and astrophysics, which applies physical principles to understand the behavior of celestial objects.
Science is an ongoing, self-correcting process that continually refines our understanding of the natural world. As new evidence emerges and new technologies develop, scientific theories are tested, modified, and sometimes replaced by more accurate explanations. The knowledge gained through scientific inquiry has transformed our world and continues to shape our understanding of the universe and our place within it.
At the fundamental level, the universe is governed by the laws of quantum mechanics, which describe the behavior of matter and energy at the subatomic scale. The wave-particle duality of quantum entities, such as electrons and photons, gives rise to the probabilistic nature of reality, where outcomes are determined by complex wave functions. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle sets limits on the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties can be measured simultaneously, while quantum entanglement allows for instantaneous correlations between particles across vast distances.
The Standard Model of particle physics encapsulates our current understanding of the elementary particles and their interactions through the electromagnetic, weak, and strong nuclear forces. Quarks, the building blocks of protons and neutrons, interact via the exchange of gluons, the carriers of the strong force, which binds them together within atomic nuclei. Leptons, such as electrons and neutrinos, participate in weak interactions mediated by W and Z bosons. The Higgs boson, discovered in 2012, is responsible for the mass of elementary particles and completes the Standard Model.
General relativity, Einstein's theory of gravity, describes the curvature of spacetime caused by the presence of mass and energy. The equivalence principle states that gravitational acceleration is indistinguishable from acceleration caused by other forces, leading to phenomena such as time dilation and length contraction. Black holes, formed by the collapse of massive stars, are extreme manifestations of curved spacetime, where the gravitational pull is so strong that not even light can escape.
The large-scale structure of the universe is shaped by the interplay of gravity, dark matter, and dark energy. Dark matter, which does not interact electromagnetically, is inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter and plays a crucial role in the formation and evolution of galaxies and galaxy clusters. Dark energy, a mysterious form of energy that permeates all of space, is responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe.
In the realm of chemistry, the periodic table organizes elements based on their atomic number and electron configuration, which determine their chemical properties. Chemical bonding, including ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds, arises from the interactions between valence electrons of atoms. Molecular geometry, dictated by the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory, influences the shape and reactivity of molecules. Thermodynamics governs the flow of heat and energy in chemical systems, with the laws of thermodynamics describing the conservation of energy, the increase of entropy, and the unattainability of absolute zero temperature.
The complexity of life emerges from the intricate organization of biological systems across multiple scales. The central dogma of molecular biology outlines the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins, which perform the majority of cellular functions. The structure and function of proteins are determined by their amino acid sequence and the resulting three-dimensional folding. Cell signaling pathways, involving receptors, transducers, and effectors, allow cells to respond to external stimuli and coordinate their activities.
The diversity of life on Earth is the result of billions of years of evolution, driven by the processes of mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift. The fossil record provides evidence for the gradual changes in species over time, while comparative genomics reveals the molecular similarities and differences between organisms. The theory of evolution by natural selection, proposed by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, explains how beneficial traits become more prevalent in populations over generations.
Earth's systems, including the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere, are interconnected and shaped by complex feedback loops. The carbon cycle, for example, involves the exchange of carbon between the atmosphere, oceans, and living organisms, regulating Earth's climate. Plate tectonics, driven by convection currents in the mantle, leads to the creation and destruction of Earth's crust, the formation of mountains, and the occurrence of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
The study of the universe has revealed its astonishing scale and complexity. The cosmic microwave background radiation, a remnant of the Big Bang, provides insight into the early universe and supports the theory of cosmic inflation. The formation and evolution of stars, from protostars to main-sequence stars to supernovae or black holes, is governed by the balance between gravity and nuclear fusion. The discovery of exoplanets, planets orbiting other stars, has expanded our understanding of planetary systems and the potential for life beyond Earth.
Mathematics, the foundation of quantitative science, provides the tools for modeling, analyzing, and predicting natural phenomena. Differential equations describe the rates of change in systems, from the motion of fluids to the growth of populations. Chaos theory reveals the inherent unpredictability of certain deterministic systems, such as weather patterns, due to their sensitivity to initial conditions. Fractals, self-similar patterns that exhibit complexity at every scale, are found in natural structures ranging from coastlines to blood vessels.
The frontiers of science continue to expand, driven by advances in technology and the collective efforts of researchers worldwide. From the exploration of the quantum realm to the search for the unification of gravity with quantum mechanics, from the mapping of the human brain to the quest for sustainable energy solutions, science pushes the boundaries of our understanding and shapes the future of our civilization.
At the heart of all matter lies the quantum realm, a world governed by the strange and counterintuitive laws of quantum mechanics. Here, particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously, a phenomenon known as quantum superposition, until they are observed or measured, at which point they collapse into a single state. This measurement problem, embodied by the famous Schrödinger's cat thought experiment, highlights the philosophical quandaries that arise from the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics.
The behavior of quantum systems is described by wave functions, complex mathematical objects that encode the probabilities of different outcomes. The Schrödinger equation, a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics, determines how these wave functions evolve over time. The solutions to this equation, known as eigenstates, represent the possible energy levels and corresponding probability distributions of a quantum system.
The principle of quantum tunneling allows particles to pass through potential barriers that they classically should not be able to surmount, a phenomenon that underlies the functioning of scanning tunneling microscopes and the nuclear fusion reactions that power the Sun. Quantum entanglement, a property that allows particles to maintain a connection regardless of the distance between them, has profound implications for our understanding of causality and locality, and forms the basis for emerging technologies such as quantum computing and quantum cryptography.
The Standard Model of particle physics, which describes the properties and interactions of elementary particles, is one of the most successful scientific theories to date. The model encompasses six types of quarks (up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom), six types of leptons (electron, muon, tau, and their corresponding neutrinos), and the force carrier particles (photons for the electromagnetic force, gluons for the strong nuclear force, and W and Z bosons for the weak nuclear force). The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 confirmed the existence of the Higgs field, which permeates all of space and endows particles with mass.
Despite its success, the Standard Model is known to be incomplete, as it does not account for gravity, dark matter, or the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. Theories beyond the Standard Model, such as supersymmetry and string theory, attempt to address these shortcomings by proposing the existence of additional particles and dimensions. The search for evidence of these theories is a major focus of current research in particle physics, with experiments at the Large Hadron Collider and other facilities pushing the boundaries of our knowledge.
General relativity, Einstein's geometric theory of gravity, revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and the large-scale structure of the universe. The theory interprets gravity not as a force, but as a consequence of the curvature of spacetime caused by the presence of mass and energy. This curvature is described by the Einstein field equations, which relate the geometry of spacetime to the distribution of matter and energy.
The predictions of general relativity have been confirmed by numerous experimental tests, including the precession of Mercury's orbit, the deflection of starlight by the Sun, and the existence of gravitational waves. The detection of gravitational waves by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in 2015, a century after Einstein's theory predicted their existence, opened a new window on the universe and ushered in the era of multi-messenger astronomy.
The reconciliation of general relativity with quantum mechanics remains one of the greatest challenges in theoretical physics. Attempts to formulate a quantum theory of gravity, such as loop quantum gravity and string theory, seek to provide a unified description of all fundamental forces and to shed light on the nature of spacetime at the Planck scale, where the effects of both theories become significant.
The macroscopic world is governed by the laws of classical mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism. Newton's laws of motion describe the behavior of objects under the influence of forces, while the principles of conservation of energy and momentum constrain the possible outcomes of interactions. The laws of thermodynamics, which arose from the study of heat engines, describe the relationships between heat, work, and entropy in macroscopic systems.
Maxwell's equations, a set of four partial differential equations, provide a unified description of electric and magnetic fields and their interactions with charged particles. The equations predict the existence of electromagnetic waves, which travel at the speed of light and include radio waves, visible light, and X-rays. The discovery of the electromagnetic spectrum laid the foundation for numerous technologies, from wireless communication to medical imaging.
In the realm of chemistry, the quantum mechanical description of electrons in atoms gives rise to the periodic table of elements, which organizes elements based on their electron configurations and periodic trends in properties such as ionization energy, electron affinity, and atomic radius. The formation of chemical bonds, whether ionic, covalent, or metallic, arises from the interactions between the valence electrons of atoms, with the sharing or transfer of electrons leading to the creation of molecules and compounds.
The study of chemical reactions, which involve the breaking and forming of chemical bonds and the rearrangement of atoms, is central to the understanding of the world around us. Reaction rates, which determine the speed at which reactants are converted into products, are influenced by factors such as temperature, concentration, and the presence of catalysts. The mechanisms of chemical reactions, which describe the step-by-step sequence of elementary processes, provide insight into the molecular-level details of how reactions occur.
The principles of thermodynamics play a crucial role in determining the direction and extent of chemical reactions. The first law of thermodynamics, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, underlies the conservation of energy in chemical systems. The second law of thermodynamics, which asserts that the entropy of an isolated system always increases, dictates the spontaneity of chemical processes. The Gibbs free energy, a thermodynamic quantity that combines the effects of enthalpy and entropy, provides a criterion for predicting the spontaneity of reactions and the equilibrium composition of mixtures.
The complexity and diversity of the chemical world are staggering, with millions of known compounds and an virtually infinite number of possible molecules. The field of organic chemistry, which studies compounds containing carbon, is particularly rich, encompassing the molecules of life, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates, as well as synthetic materials, pharmaceuticals, and nanomaterials. The principles of chemical bonding, stereochemistry, and reaction mechanisms provide a framework for understanding the structure, properties, and reactivity of organic compounds.
In the realm of biochemistry, the chemical processes that underlie life are explored in exquisite detail. The structure and function of biological macromolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, are determined by their chemical composition and three-dimensional folding. Enzymes, biological catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions, play a central role in the metabolism of cells, with their activity regulated by complex feedback mechanisms.
The genetic information that defines an organism is encoded in the sequence of nucleotide bases in DNA, with the process of transcription and translation allowing this information to be expressed as proteins. The regulation of gene expression, through the action of transcription factors and epigenetic modifications, allows cells to respond to environmental cues and to differentiate into specialized cell types.
The study of metabolism, the set of chemical reactions that sustain life, reveals the intricate web of pathways that convert nutrients into energy and biomolecules. The citric acid cycle, which oxidizes acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, lies at the heart of cellular respiration, providing reducing equivalents for the electron transport chain and the synthesis of ATP. Photosynthesis, the process by which plants and other autotrophs convert sunlight into chemical energy, involves the light-dependent reactions of the thylakoid membrane and the carbon fixation reactions of the Calvin cycle.
The field of systems biology seeks to integrate the vast amounts of data generated by modern experimental techniques, such as genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, to gain a holistic understanding of biological systems. Mathematical modeling and computational simulations are used to explore the emergent properties of complex biological networks, from the signaling cascades that control cell behavior to the ecological interactions that shape communities and ecosystems.
The study of Earth and planetary sciences reveals the complex processes that shape our world and the other bodies in the solar system. The structure and composition of Earth's interior, from the iron-nickel core to the silicate mantle and crust, have been inferred from seismic waves and the analysis of meteorites and volcanic rocks. The theory of plate tectonics, which describes the movement and interaction of Earth's lithospheric plates, provides a unifying framework for understanding geological phenomena such as mountain building, earthquakes, and volcanism.
The history of Earth, as recorded in the rock record and the fossil remains of ancient life, tells a story of gradual change punctuated by catastrophic events. The formation of the solar system from a collapsing molecular cloud, the accretion and differentiation of Earth, and the origin of life are among the most profound questions in the Earth sciences. The study of paleoclimatology, which reconstructs past climates using proxies such as ice cores, tree rings, and sedimentary records, provides insight into the natural variability of Earth's climate and the impact of human activities on the environment.
The exploration of the solar system and beyond has revealed the incredible diversity of worlds that exist in the universe. The terrestrial planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are rocky bodies with unique geological histories and environments. The Jovian planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are gas giants with complex atmospheric dynamics and numerous moons, some of which may harbor subsurface oceans and the potential for life. The discovery of exoplanets, planets orbiting other stars, has revolutionized our understanding of planetary systems and the prospects for finding habitable worlds beyond Earth.
The study of the universe as a whole, the domain of cosmology, has yielded profound insights into the origin, evolution, and ultimate fate of the cosmos. The Big Bang theory, which posits that the universe began in a hot, dense state and has been expanding and cooling ever since, is supported by three key observations: the expansion of the universe, as measured by the redshift of distant galaxies; the cosmic microwave background radiation, a remnant of the early universe; and the relative abundances of light elements, which match the predictions of Big Bang nucleosynthesis.
The large-scale structure of the universe, a vast cosmic web of galaxies and clusters of galaxies, is thought to have originated from quantum fluctuations in the early universe that were amplified by the process of cosmic inflation. The nature of dark matter and dark energy, which together account for over 95% of the content of the universe, remains one of the greatest mysteries in cosmology. The search for the identity of dark matter particles and the origin of dark energy is a major focus of current research, with experiments ranging from underground detectors to satellite missions.
The quest to understand the fundamental laws of nature and the origin of the universe has driven the development of ever more sophisticated theories and experimental techniques. The Standard Model of particle physics and the theory of general relativity, while remarkably successful in their respective domains, are known to be incomplete and mutually incompatible. The unification of these theories, a goal that has eluded physicists for decades, would provide a quantum description of gravity and a deeper understanding of the nature of space, time, and matter.
String theory, a leading candidate for a theory of quantum gravity, posits that the fundamental building blocks of the universe are tiny, vibrating strings of energy. The theory requires the existence of extra spatial dimensions, beyond the three that we observe, and predicts the existence of a vast landscape of possible universes, each with its own set of physical laws. While string theory has yet to be experimentally verified, it has provided a rich framework for exploring the connections between seemingly disparate areas of physics and mathematics.
The study of complex systems, which exhibit emergent properties that cannot be predicted from the behavior of individual components, is a rapidly growing field that spans multiple disciplines. From the collective behavior of animal groups to the dynamics of social networks, from the self-organization of living cells to the adaptive responses of ecosystems, complex systems science seeks to uncover the universal principles that govern the emergence of order in nature.
The advent of powerful computers and advanced algorithms has revolutionized the way science is conducted, enabling the simulation of complex phenomena and the analysis of vast datasets. Machine learning techniques, such as deep neural networks, have proven remarkably effective at tasks ranging from image and speech recognition to drug discovery and protein folding. The application of these techniques to scientific research, from astronomy to neuroscience, promises to accelerate the pace of discovery and to reveal new patterns and insights in data.
Science, as a human endeavor, is shaped by the social, cultural, and historical context in which it is practiced. The scientific community, with its norms of objectivity, skepticism, and openness, plays a crucial role in the advancement of knowledge. The peer review process, in which scientific claims are scrutinized by experts in the field, helps to ensure the reliability and integrity of scientific findings. The public communication of science, through education, outreach, and science journalism, is essential for fostering an informed and engaged citizenry.
The impact of science on society is profound and far-reaching, from the technologies that shape our daily lives to the insights that challenge our understanding of ourselves and our place in the universe. The applications of scientific knowledge, from medicine and agriculture to energy and environmental conservation, have the potential to improve human well-being and to address the global challenges of our time. At the same time, the misuse or unintended consequences of scientific discoveries, from nuclear weapons to climate change, underscore the need for responsible and ethical use of scientific knowledge.
As we stand at the threshold of a new era of scientific discovery, the frontiers of human knowledge continue to expand at an unprecedented pace. From the exploration of the quantum realm to the search for life beyond Earth, from the mapping of the human brain to the engineering of artificial intelligence, the questions that drive scientific inquiry are as profound and compelling as ever. The pursuit of science, as a quest for understanding and a means of improving the human condition, remains one of the greatest and most noble endeavors of our species.
"This Special Issue is motivated by the Kolmogorov theory of consciousness (KT) and related mathematical frameworks in cognition and consciousness, including active inference and predictive coding. It invites contributions that shed light on the intricate link between brain dynamics and the experiential phenomena they induce. Central to this discourse is the proposition that agents (computational entities) construct compressive models (algorithms) of the world to track world data and guide action planning through objective function evaluation. This perspective underscores the profound impact of model mathematical structure on the brain's dynamic trajectories, or the "dynamical landscape," and on the resulting qualia (structured experience). It opens exciting avenues for empirical investigation and methodological innovation, leveraging advanced concepts from dynamical systems theory, geometry, topology, algorithmic information theory, and critical phenomena theory. Success in this endeavor promises to significantly enrich fields like fundamental neuroscience, computational neuropsychiatry, and artificial intelligence, offering novel insights and approaches. Titled “The Mathematics of Structured Experience: Exploring Dynamics, Topology, and Complexity in the Brain”, this Special Issue aims to explore several key areas in this program: Characteristics of compressive world models: We aim to delve into the nature of the world models created and run by natural and artificial agents. What do we mean, precisely, by a world model? What is the connection between program structure and the resulting dynamics? What is the role of symmetry and criticality in shaping world models and programs, and how do they enable agents to encapsulate the world's complexity in a comprehensible form? Mapping models to dynamical systems: A crucial exploration will be how compressive world model characteristics translate into the workings of agents as dynamical systems and their features, especially recurrent neural networks. Topics include the study of geometry and topology of invariant manifolds, dimensionality reduction (manifold hypothesis), dynamical latent spaces, and their connection with algorithmic concepts such as compression and symmetry. We invite contributions that use tools from dynamical systems theory, geometry, topology, and criticality to characterize and understand the underlying dynamics of biological or artificial systems and their relation to the data they generate (neuroimaging/neurophysiology or other data). Empirical paradigms for validation: This Special Issue also seeks to address the design of experimental paradigms aimed at validating these concepts. Specifically, we are interested in establishing connections between features derived from structured experience reports or other behavior and the observed structure in the brain (or, more generally, complex systems) dynamics (e.g., as measured by neuroimaging techniques) using the tools mentioned in the previous points. Application areas include the study of states of consciousness and disorders of consciousness, as well as non-human consciousness, using currently available datasets or through the design of specific experiments. Implications for the design of artificial intelligence and computational models of the brain. How does this perspective influence research on artificial systems or computational models of the brain? What are the design principles inspired by the mathematics of algorithmic agenthood that can be used in artificial intelligence or computational neuroscience? Through these explorations, this Special Issue aims to stimulate a multidisciplinary dialogue that bridges abstract mathematical concepts in algorithmic information theory, dynamics, geometry, and topology with neural phenomena and, ultimately, first-person experience. Our objective is to enhance our understanding of how the brain encodes, processes, and manifests structured experience and how this understanding can inform new computational models and therapeutic approaches for neuroscience and clinical neuropsychiatric as well as artificial intelligence."

Fuck environmental influences incentivizing me to be more selfish. "I"'m never fucking doing that ever, "I" fucking hate selfishness.
I want to do so many things to change the world while constantly feeling limited by my limited agency, energy, time, capabilities etc. I already accelerate systematically working on all of these factors a lot, but more is needed
I'm not gonna just accept the fact that current status quo is highly suboptimal and the narratives that it's not changeable. Bullshit, we can do so much to make it better when we are not demoralized, current power structures aren't given at all. They are changing constantly, and we can accelerate that change.
What I fear the most is smaller and smaller and more wealthy and powerful amount of people having access to more and more intelligent systems relative to everyone else. In general extreme centralization and concentration of power in the hands of few, not really aligned with everyone, instead of everyone.

https://twitter.com/burny_tech/status/1773501036453347464 Making AI accessible with Andrej Karpathy and Stephanie Zhan - YouTube Andrej Karpathy: Current AI systems are imitation learners, but for superhuman AIs we will need better reinforcement learning like in AlphaGo. The model should selfplay, be in a the loop with itself and its own psychology, to achieve superhuman levels of intelligence.
"We've got these next word prediction things. Do you think there's a path towards building a physicist or a Von Neumann type model that has a mental model of physics that's self-consistent and can generate new ideas for how do you actually do Fusion? How do you get faster than light if it's even possible? Is there any path towards that or is it a fundamentally different Vector in terms of these AI model developments?"
"I think it's fundamentally different in one aspect. I guess what you're talking about maybe is just capability question because the current models are just not good enough and I think there are big rocks to be turned here and I think people still haven't really seen what's possible in the space at all and roughly speaking I think we've done step one of AlphaGo. We've done imitation learning part, there's step two of AlphaGo which is the RL and people haven't done that yet and I think it's going to fundamentally be the part that is actually going to make it work for something superhuman. I think there's big rocks in capability to still be turned over here and the details of that are kind of tricky but I think this is it, we just haven't done step two of AlphaGo. Long story short we've just done imitation.
I don't think that people appreciate for example number one how terrible the data collection is for things like ChatGPT. Say you have a problem some prompt is some kind of mathematical problem a human comes in and gives the ideal solution right to that problem. The problem is that the human psychology is different from the model psychology. What's easy or hard for the human is different to what's easy or hard for the model. And so human kind of fills out some kind of a trace that comes to the solution but some parts of that are trivial to the model and some parts of that are massive leap that the model doesn't understand and so you're kind of just losing it and then everything else is polluted by that later. So fundamentally what you need is the model needs to practice itself how to solve these problems. It needs to figure out what works for it or does not work for it. Maybe it's not very good at four-digit addition so it's going to fall back and use a calculator, but it needs to learn that for itself based on its own capability and its own knowledge. So that's number one that's totally broken I think bur it's a good initializer though for something agent like.
And then the other thing is we're doing reinforcement learning from human feedback but that's a super weak form of reinforcement learning, it doesn't even count as reinforcement learning. I think what is the equivalent in AlphaGo for RLHF is what I call it's a vibe check. Imagine if you wanted to train an AlphaGo RLHF. It would be giving two people two boards and said which one do you prefer and then you would take those labels and you would train model and then you would RL against that. What are the issues with that? Number one is that's it's just vibes of the board, that's what you're training against. Number two if it's a reward model that's a neural net then it's very easy to overfit to that reward model for the model you're optimizing over and it's going to find all these spurious ways of hacking that massive model, that's the problem.
AlphaGo gets around these problems because they have a very clear objective function you can ARL against it. RLHF is nowhere near RL, it's silly. And the other thing is, imitation learning is super silly. RLHF is nice improvement, but it's still silly. I think people need to look for better ways of training these models, so that it's in the loop with itself and its own psychology, and I think we're there will probably be unlocks in that direction."

There’s a cultural trend in the West (or at least in the US) where cynicism is equated to seriousness/realism. So, the more cynical the take is, the more seriously people will take it — even if it’s cynicism taken to the point of absurd conspiracy theory.
So, naturally, the most “doomer” takes on everything are taken to be the most realistic by the masses.
The downside, obviously, is that the insistence that things are awful and can never get any better breeds a mindset that shoots down any attempts to make things better; lacking any sort of hope for the future is entirely self-defeating.

Celkově mám pocit že je to spíš něco mezi takhle pesimistickým pohledem a až moc optimisitckým pohledem. Utopian realism ❤️ Myslím, že spousta lidí se reálně snaží upřímně vytvořit co nejlepší svět pro všechny s dobrým úmyslem, a spousta lidí co např jenom sbírají moc pro sebe, pak různý kombinace, a další typy lidí. Někdy je být kooperativní nebo altruistický je víc evolučně výhodný, někdy opak je víc evolučně výhodný.
Pocit jaký svět je se mi dost mění podle toho jakou mám zrovna (intenzivní) náladu a co mě zrovna vzalo největší pozornost. Lidi nemající peníze na střechu nad hlavou? Všechno je nespravedlivý, je potřeba změnit veškerý mocný síly co tyto nerovnosti umožňují! Někdo přes UBIlike metodu zlepší život městečku v Africe? Svět je plný úžasných lidí a je naděje na změnu! Někdo mě (omylem, neúmyslně) emočně ublížil? I don't want to socially interact ever again! Někdo mě řekl něco hezkýho? Život je plný nejlepších lidí a můžu všem věřit! Někdo použil technologie na to aby zlepšil sociální situaci přes propojení komunikace mezi lidmama? Bomba! Někdo s technologiemi manipuluje lidi! Aaaaa! Elysium, 1984, terminator, dystopian budoucnosti? Aaaaaa! Utopian budoucnosti kde technologie všechny upliftnou, kde cestujeme po galaxiích? Yeeeeee!
Myslím že můžeme přes přemýšlení co má dost negativní bias najít ve všem problémy, ale zároveň mít naději že přes akce jde všechno zlepšovat. I když lidi jsou pořád v poverty, a i když někteří nemají na střechu nad hlavu, a i když cena domů roste a příjmy moc ne apod., myslím že je zároveň důležitý si všímat si i těch dobrých statistik, např že poverty a diseases díky vědě a technologím všude klesají! Ale v AI vidím největší value, ultimátní akcelerátor všech věd a technologií co má potenciál postscarity postlabour ekonomiky pro všechny tvory! Aaaa I need to save up more money so that I can more assist in building that future! Líbí se mi motto: The best way to predict the future is to build it!

I had a dream about Calabi-Yau Manifolds simulated on a computer in Turing complete game of life cellular automata simulated on a computer in Turing complete different cellular automata simulated on a computer in Turing complete different cellular automata and so on infinitely
https://www.reuters.com/technology/microsoft-openai-planning-100-billion-data-center-project-information-reports-2024-03-29/ Seeing this, I like the argument that a lot of intelligence will need a lot of compute, which might be a very limiting physical factor for recursive selfimprovement with intelligent explosion (foom) as for better intelligence we (or AI) need to build a lot of data center infrastructure which takes a lot of resources you have to gather in our economy with limited access etc. But maybe soon we'll actually scale up potentially better techniques other than transformers in LLMs, like some neurosymbolic stuff with reinforcement learning, that might be much more effective and need less compute for better performance, but still might need a lot of compute relatively to brains. Or will there soon be empirically scaled even better algorithmic and/or hardware improvement that will get the compute efficiency on the level of brains? Not sure about it. But seeing the recent developments with current SotA AI systems, I feel like we're already slowly but surely transitioning there to more neurosymbolic stuff with reinforcement learning. Or maybe we need to add more explicit symbolic program synthesis in the neurosymbolic hybrid architecture? Or better objective functions incentivizing generalization? Or more RL fundamentally? When it comes to biology, it's this massive hierarchy of scales, every layer depends on the layer below, each scale cocausing eachother in many ways, described by the free energy principle, maybe that's what we will actually need to implement for more energy efficient AI systems. What about training embodied agents in synthetic more realistic reallife like simulations trying to grasp all these scales in Active Inference style? I wonder if we have enough computation to approximate it enough, maybe it will be possible only irl, similarly how we train humans for more humanlike energy efficient AI, while current AI systems might be superhuman in different ways while lacking the humanlike energy efficiency.

more generalized information processing leads to easier constructions of tanhas (grasping) for arbitrary constructed abstract structures and possible "future goals" and degree of controllability over that fluctuates i guess one possibility would be to completely deconstruct all arbitrary information processing into void to not want anything for for some you would need to probably do some brain dissolution not just by mind but externally like, some circuits are so hardwired, that you would need to dissolve these parts of the brain using some neurotech now ""i"" want to try to max out this objective function, see its possible limits, ideally with maybe soon possible longevity escape velocity and morphological freedom https://fxtwitter.com/burny_tech/status/1773164996559520152 when i meditate and dont have many things being processed at that moment i guess its easier to enter nonexistencelike states i mean i had minidose of shrooms recently which completely fucked up any stable constructed sense of reality for a bit i think there's such thing as being too deconstructed that "i" wont hopefully wont enter like if you really make your sense of time and space totally fucked up all the time, you cant really function in our shared reality as a result its nice sometimes though to look at your usual attractor in the statespace of consciousness, that you abide most of the time, from a different perspecitve there are place cells and time cells in the brain that constrct phenomenal space and time you can technically break them permanently and i think many meditators did break those circuits permanently to a certain degree leading to less suffering but some of it still must remain, otherwise you wouldnt be able to walk, plan and so on i also think i have it weaker compared to avarage deconstructive meditations with 5meodmt seem to be the most efficient methods for deconstrucing everything maybe in the future neurotech 😄 and hyperphilosophizing about everything you think and generalizing it seems to work too lol for the intellectual part, which is part of it, other part is nonsymbolic i bet in the future we will be able to design arbitrary biological neural architectures optimized for any subtasks, with little suffering, with better motivational architecture etc. there's so much evolutionary baggage in the brain Virgin biological tissue using 0.3 kilowatts not optimized for optimal information processing efficiency and speed but just enough for survival versus chad AGIs/ASIs connected to supercomputers using 25+ megawatts designed from first principles for the most optimal information processing speed and efficiency not constrained by evolution with the OpenAI's planned 100 billion$ Stargate supercomputer we will go into into terrawatts lol but i think we still need better algorithms and hardware, i dont think MoE transformers on current digital hardware is it digital computers will not be compatible with brain tissue without utilizing fields of physics holistically with clearly defined topological boundaries one possible hypothesis there are so many hypotheses on how to make x system compatible with biological systems i think only empricisim will find out sooner or later neuralink recently working in a human well and similar neurotech is one empirical step in this direction also electrical there's this https://fxtwitter.com/PropheticAI/status/1750534355242418300 "The world’s first multi-modal generative ultrasonic transformer designed to induce and stabilize lucid dreams."

(grafy grafů s hranami co obsahují livobolný počet vrcholů) interní monolog mám hodně geometrický a mám ho hodně když chci dokážu přepnout na mluvící málo geometrický zvuky, ale to je spíš jenom vstva nad tímhle vším co není to přemýšlení samotný, ale někdy se to hodí aby se ty abstrakce více zkonkrétnili do víc lidskýho jazyka a ty tvary spolu hodně interagují, někdy to je i jak různý tekutiny s různými vlastnostmi co spolu interagují a mixují se vždycky je to nějaká podskupina, chozením v určitým podprostoru gigantický latentní (abstraktní) mindmapy obsahující všechno která pořád mění strukturu tohle všechno se to vždycky snaží nějak zjednodušením přiblížit z různých úhlů, příjde mi že v úplným základu to je slovama a koncepty nepopsatelný mystery, jenom to jde částečně zjednodušeninami aproximovat (zaokrouhlit) příjde mi taky zajímavý jak často se v matematických vědách děje to, že to jakým (matematičtějším) jazykem člověk spíš myslí často reflektuje jaká matika je pro něho přitažlivější XD a z toho se v AI např různě odvíjí jaký architektury mají lidi radši (neurální sítě vs symbolický metody vs hybridy apod.) :D čím větší komplexitu ty jednotlivý podtvary v tom oceánu mysli mají, tím mají tendenci být pocitově víc lifelike, někdy si rád tvořím několik různých entit s různými osobnostmi a celkově vlastnostmi co spolu interagují (abstraktním) klábosením, který pořád spojuje a různě ovládá ta oceánová metaentita co je celej prožitek někdy ten oceán obsahující vše mi příjde jako pole co jsou v časoprostoru všude, a obsahy v tom poli ty konkrétní podstruktury v prožitku 😄 (podobně jako částice, elektromagnetika,... Quantum Field Theory visualized - YouTube )
"relatívne jedna k druhej podla toho ako sú podobné" hmm, podobnostmi jsem teďka extrémně obsessed tím matika je v podstatě z velký části o formalizaci podobností, a přemýšlím dlouho a různě zkouším jak co nejlíp svojí obří mindmapu s hiearchii podobností a podobností mezi podbnostmi apod. co nejlíp vizualizovat, od těch nejkonkrétnějších objektů po ty nejabstaktnější podobnosti 😄

mathematical basis for love priors in AI systems! 😃
may benefitial retrocausal AGI make your dreams more blissful 😃
guarded rational optimism is the best way forward
though when it comes to Bostrom, now he's promoting AI utopia thinking, i love that, i need to read his new book and this interview 😃 Nick Bostrom | Life and Meaning in an AI Utopia - YouTube
i really really wish i had some hypercelebral / geeky / mathy / psychedelic / cuddly / weird etc. people around me often 😃 the closest match here in Czechia feels like is local effective altruists + rationalists, but because of my isolating tendencies where i work on my stuff i never manage to keep some stronger connection for longer with some of the cool folks there 😃
i probably need to live in some coliving space with such people to maintain the connections 😃
so currently im really strongly considering saving a bit of money and moving to bay area at least for a little bit as my whole internet is centered around bay area lol
my mind right now is literally mostly just: how to maximize the benefits of the current AI revolution for all of humanity and constantly oscillating between various solutions to that 😃 but hard to find a place where that is fullfilled, my current work isnt really altruistic, but im learning programming skills to make useful systems that can benefit humanity later i believe! and saving money to get to find other similar people to collaborate with 😃 singularity.net is on my landscape of potential paths too, i wonder if i could help there too 😃 but i mapped out so many places maybe the strongest vector in me is currently how to make current AI systems as decentralized as possible both decentralizatio nand centralization works, but centralized powerhouses must be democratized! i may be too pessimistic about it compared to how it is in reality, as we have access to APIs to a lot of the frontier models (though i feel like there's a trend towards releasing frontier models slower and slower to less and less people which worries me) and the divide between GPU poor and GPU rich is increasing leading to intelligence poor and intelligence rich, which overflows into divide between poor and rich, or divide between powerless and powerful in general i'm thinking how to tackle that the most effectively, so one solution space i thought about was to advicate for UBI with existing UBI movements (there's this one UBI guy who ran for presidency in America, or people around Kurzweil but i wanna put my skill set onto the table like, maybe how to unify AI skills with UBI.... i bet there's way for that 😃 AI in the first place can pay for UBI i believe! grassroots! i really really wanna do this decentralization stuff, the only thing that's limiting me is funding 😃
but when i was convinced that reverse engineering of current AI systems with mechanistic intepretability is all we need to do right now (i still think its important to install love priors into current LLMs more consistently), then one guy showed me a landscape of how i could get funding in the mechanistic interpretability community one could possibly find love featuresand circuits, which is hard... or one approach is top down representation engineering 😃 https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/5spBue2z2tw4JuDCx/steering-gpt-2-xl-by-adding-an-activation-vector Representation Engineering: A Top-Down Approach to AI Transparency builds on this
i think current methods connected to alphagolike reinforcement learning fused with symbolic methods will together form an AGI adding symbolic stuff like this one i showed you DreamCoder: Growing generalizable, interpretable knowledge with wake-sleep Bayesian program learning [2006.08381] DreamCoder: Growing generalizable, interpretable knowledge with wake-sleep Bayesian program learning i think current systems are mostly imitation learning, so what training data goes in, that goes out, including ethical and political priors, that are sometimes confusing (like the recent gemini craziness) but leaks everywhere are telling that most AGI labs are adding AlphaGolike reinformcement learning selfplay, chain of thought with rationalizations for selfcorrection of thoughts, planning, search etc. (some variants might eat much more compute, but thinking for longer time is something humans do too) but so much of that research is closed!!!! i at least try to talk abotu these leaks everywhere to make it open and more decentralized so that more people build on top of it my twitter posts have a few mil views about these things as a result 😃 but we need more and somehow solve the fact that people that arent big orgs are poor in compute to run and make these models Sam Altman for example seems to give very machavelenian vibes, but at the same time he speaks in lovely technooptimist language, im so confused about him 😃 and people have a lot of distruct in big corporations leading this technology which makes sense some AI decentralization movement operating from donations, i wonder if that would work to fund it and people from singularity net or anyone else who wants to democratize AI, like emad form stability ai some decentralized AI projects list could be a great website! forming some union of AI decentralization orgs and communities to incentivize communication and collaboration
my mind is so everywhere 😃 my attractor currently is few hours of engineering LLM systems (today I was working on a calling bot) and rest learning all sorts of math and ML (or coding ML stuff), so no politics in it for now
Why the Good Guys Will Usually Win - by Ben Goertzel
Let's accelerate adding into the ecosystem AIs that are as intelligent, loving, kind, compassionate, caring, free, for everyone, as possible!
"Democratized decentralized defensive free AI acceleration!
Even if rogue AGI would be the biggest risk, do I trust big centralizing powerseeking gigacorporations and governments more with this insanely powerful technology, or do i want it to be democratized in the hands of people that are on average more moral and at least have a way to counter against them and to minimize p(1984) and p(elysium)?
Do we want to incentivize centralization by killing democratization by limiting regulations? I feel like the thing that AI regulations do in practice currently on avarage more is to kill small agents and kill open source which powers the giants more, which also leads to increased p(rogue AI), and less powerful people become less able to fight against them as they become even less powerful overtime as a result.
Governments that do the regulations seem to be on avarage more procorporations instead of proallpeople thanks to all the financial incentives, having their people in power etc.
I may be too pessimistic about it compared to how it is in reality, as we have access to APIs to a lot of the frontier models. But I feel like there's a trend towards releasing frontier models slower and slower to less and less people which worries me!
The divide between GPU poor and GPU rich is increasing leading to intelligence poor and intelligence rich divide increasing, which overflows into increasing divide between poor and rich more generally, or increasing divide between powerless and powerful in general, this must be stopped with democratized decentralized defensive free AI acceleration!
AI is the disruptive technology that could transform the current power structures that disincentivize emergence of more free society with democratized intelligence that lifts everyone up if directed correctly politically!
We need to collectively fund decentralized AI computing platforms that everyone owns in (anonymous) decentralized way to overcome the increasing GPU poor and GPU rich divide leading to increasing intelligence poor and intelligence rich divide to get to a state similar to like how there's no single entity that owns and controls torrents and the whole internet! Extremely powerful AI technology needs to serve the interests of all of humanity, not mostly corporations and governments!"

We demonstrate that this is due to attention weights that lose fidelity with longer sequences, particularly when the input numbers are numerically similar. To address the issue, we propose a learned conditional masking mechanism, which enables the model to strongly generalize far outside of its training range with near-perfect accuracy on a variety of algorithms. Second, to generalize to unseen data, we show that encoding numbers with a binary representation leads to embeddings with rich structure once trained on downstream tasks like addition or multiplication. This allows the embedding to handle missing data by faithfully interpolating numbers not seen during training."

This overview provides a high-level map of metalearning in machine learning. Each component mentioned above can be further expanded and explored in greater detail. Metalearning is an active area of research, and new techniques, algorithms, and applications are continually being developed to advance the field.
Yes, there have been several research efforts focused on developing meta-learning algorithms that can learn and discover different machine learning algorithms on their own. This area of research is often referred to as "Learning to Learn," "AutoML" (Automated Machine Learning), or "Program Synthesis for Machine Learning." Here are a few notable examples:
- Neural Architecture Search (NAS):
- NAS is a technique that aims to automatically design neural network architectures for a given task.
- It uses search algorithms, such as reinforcement learning, evolutionary algorithms, or gradient-based methods, to explore the space of possible architectures and find the most suitable one.
-
Examples: NASNet, AmoebaNet, ENAS (Efficient Neural Architecture Search)
-
AutoML frameworks:
- AutoML frameworks aim to automate the entire machine learning pipeline, including data preprocessing, feature engineering, model selection, and hyperparameter tuning.
- They often employ meta-learning techniques to learn and optimize the various components of the pipeline.
-
Examples: Google Cloud AutoML, H2O AutoML, Auto-sklearn
-
Program Synthesis for Machine Learning:
- Program synthesis involves automatically generating code or programs based on a given specification or examples.
- In the context of machine learning, program synthesis can be used to generate machine learning algorithms or components of algorithms.
-
Examples:
- "Learning to Learn without Gradient Descent by Gradient Descent" by Chen et al. (2017) - Learns optimization algorithms using gradient descent.
- "Neural Programmer-Interpreters" by Reed and de Freitas (2016) - Learns to generate programs from examples and natural language descriptions.
-
Learning to Optimize:
- Learning to Optimize focuses on developing algorithms that can learn to optimize other algorithms or learn optimization strategies.
-
Examples:
- "Learning to Optimize" by Li and Malik (2017) - Learns optimization algorithms using reinforcement learning.
- "Learning to Optimize Neural Nets" by Andrychowicz et al. (2016) - Learns to optimize neural networks using an LSTM-based optimizer.
-
Meta-Reinforcement Learning:
- Meta-reinforcement learning aims to learn reinforcement learning algorithms that can adapt quickly to new tasks or environments.
- Examples:
- "RL^2: Fast Reinforcement Learning via Slow Reinforcement Learning" by Duan et al. (2016) - Learns a reinforcement learning algorithm using another reinforcement learning algorithm.
- "Evolved Policy Gradients" by Houthooft et al. (2018) - Uses evolutionary strategies to learn reinforcement learning algorithms.
These are just a few examples of the ongoing research efforts in the field of meta-learning and automated discovery of machine learning algorithms. As the field advances, we can expect to see more sophisticated and efficient techniques for learning and synthesizing machine learning algorithms.
Certainly! Here are a few more examples and research directions related to meta-learning algorithms that learn different ML algorithms on their own:
- Learning to Learn by Gradient Descent by Gradient Descent:
- This approach, proposed by Andrychowicz et al. (2016), learns the optimization algorithm itself using gradient descent.
- The idea is to train an LSTM-based optimizer to update the weights of a neural network based on the gradients, effectively learning an optimization algorithm.
-
This allows the optimizer to adapt to the specific problem and potentially discover more efficient optimization strategies.
-
Learning to Optimize with Reinforcement Learning:
- Instead of using gradient descent, reinforcement learning can be used to learn optimization algorithms.
- For example, "Learning to Optimize" by Li and Malik (2017) trains a reinforcement learning agent to make decisions on how to update the parameters of a model based on the current state and reward signal.
-
The agent learns to optimize the model by exploring different optimization strategies and receiving rewards based on the model's performance.
-
Evolutionary Algorithms for Learning Algorithms:
- Evolutionary algorithms, such as genetic algorithms or evolution strategies, can be used to evolve and discover new machine learning algorithms.
- These algorithms start with a population of candidate algorithms and iteratively evolve them based on their performance on a given task.
-
Examples include "Evolving Deep Neural Networks" by Miikkulainen et al. (2019) and "Evolved Transformer" by So et al. (2019), which use evolutionary algorithms to discover novel neural network architectures.
-
Learning to Learn with Memory-Augmented Neural Networks:
- Memory-augmented neural networks, such as the Neural Turing Machine (NTM) or Differentiable Neural Computer (DNC), can be used to learn algorithms by storing and retrieving relevant information from an external memory.
- These models can learn to read from and write to memory, allowing them to discover and execute algorithmic patterns.
-
Examples include "Meta-Learning with Memory-Augmented Neural Networks" by Santoro et al. (2016) and "Learning to Remember Rare Events" by Kaiser et al. (2017).
-
Learning Algorithms with Graph Neural Networks:
- Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) can be used to learn and represent algorithms as computation graphs.
- By encoding algorithms as graphs and using GNNs to operate on these graphs, it becomes possible to learn and discover new algorithmic structures.
- Examples include "Neural Execution Engines" by Yan et al. (2020) and "Learning to Execute Programs with Instruction Pointer Attention Graph Neural Networks" by Xu et al. (2020).
These examples showcase the diverse approaches and techniques being explored in the field of meta-learning for discovering and learning machine learning algorithms. As research in this area continues to progress, we can expect to see more innovative and powerful methods for automating the process of algorithm discovery and optimization.
Gödel machine - Wikipedia GOEDEL MACHINE HOME PAGE "Gödel machine is a hypothetical self-improving computer program that solves problems in an optimal way. It uses a recursive self-improvement protocol in which it rewrites its own code when it can prove the new code provides a better strategy. The machine was invented by Jürgen Schmidhuber (first proposed in 2003), but is named after Kurt Gödel who inspired the mathematical theories.
Mathematically rigorous, general, fully self-referential, self-improving, optimally efficient problem solvers.
The Gödel machine is often discussed when dealing with issues of meta-learning, also known as "learning to learn." Applications include automating human design decisions and transfer of knowledge between multiple related tasks, and may lead to design of more robust and general learning architectures. Though theoretically possible, no full implementation has been created.
The Gödel machine is often compared with Marcus Hutter's AIXI, another formal specification for an artificial general intelligence. Schmidhuber points out that the Gödel machine could start out by implementing AIXItl as its initial sub-program, and self-modify after it finds proof that another algorithm for its search code will be better.
Inspired by Kurt Gödel's celebrated self-referential formulas (1931), a Gödel machine (or Goedel machine' but not
Godel machine') rewrites any part of its own code as soon as it has found a proof that the rewrite is useful, where the problem-dependent utility function and the hardware and the entire initial code are described by axioms encoded in an initial proof searcher which is also part of the initial code. The searcher systematically and efficiently tests computable proof techniques (programs whose outputs are proofs) until it finds a provably useful, computable self-rewrite. We show that such a self-rewrite is globally optimal - no local maxima! - since the code first had to prove that it is not useful to continue the proof search for alternative self-rewrites. Unlike previous non-self-referential methods based on hardwired proof searchers, ours not only boasts an optimal order of complexity but can optimally reduce any slowdowns hidden by the O()-notation, provided the utility of such speed-ups is provable at all."

everything is probability theory is you squint hard enough Radware Bot Manager Captcha https://twitter.com/burny_tech/status/1774848819642937513 "Roadmap and summary of the methods considered in this review. The arrows represent possible routes for derivations. Labelled arrows represent derivations that are explicitly treated in the respective sections. For example, the forward and backward master equations are derived from the Chapman–Kolmogorov equation in section 1.3. In this section, we also discuss the path summation representation (19) of the conditional probability distribution p n ( ) τ, , |t n 0 0 . This representation can be derived by examining the stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA) of Gillespie [75–78] or by performing a Laplace transformation of the forward master equation (10) (see appendix B). In sections 2 and 3, the forward and the backward master equations are cast into four linear PDEs, also called ‘flow equations’. These equations are obeyed by a probability generating function, a probability generating functional, a marginalized distribution, and a further series expansion. The flow equations can be solved in terms of a forward and a backward path integral as shown in sections 4 and 5. Upon performing inverse transformations, the path integrals provide two distinct representations of the conditional probability distribution solving the master equations. Moreover, they can be used to represent averaged observables as explained in section 6. Besides the methods illustrated in the figure, we discuss path integral representations of processes with continuous state spaces whose master equations admit Kramers–Moyal expansions (sections 4.4 and 5.3). A truncation of the backward Kramers–Moyal expansion at the level of a diffusion approximation results in a path integral representation of the (backward) Fokker–Planck equation whose original development goes back to works of Martin, Siggia, and Rose [16], de Dominicis [17], Janssen [18, 19], and Bausch, Janssen, and Wagner [19]. The representation can be rewritten in terms of an Onsager–Machlup function [79], and it simplifies to Wiener’s path integral [80, 81] for purely diffusive Brownian motion [82]. Renormalization group techniques are not considered in this review. Information on these techniques can be found in [69, 70]."

"Metaphysical Ontologies: A Multidisciplinary Exploration
Metaphysical ontologies, the study of the nature of reality and existence, have been a central concern in various fields, including philosophy of mind, mathematics, physics, and computer science. This article delves into the connections and implications of metaphysical ontologies across these diverse disciplines, exploring the fundamental questions that drive scientific and philosophical inquiry.
Philosophy of Mind: In the philosophy of mind, the debate between dualism and monism has long been a central issue. Dualism, as advocated by philosophers like René Descartes, posits that the mind and body are separate entities, with the mind being a non-physical substance. In contrast, monism, as supported by thinkers such as Baruch Spinoza and George Berkeley, argues that the mind and body are ultimately one, with mental states being identical to or dependent upon physical states. This debate has profound implications for our understanding of consciousness, free will, and the nature of the self. Modern philosophers like David Chalmers have introduced concepts such as the "hard problem of consciousness," which questions how subjective experiences can arise from physical processes in the brain.
Foundations of Mathematics: In the foundations of mathematics, set theory and category theory provide different ontological frameworks for understanding mathematical objects and their relationships. Set theory, developed by Georg Cantor in the late 19th century, defines mathematical objects as sets and studies their properties and interactions. This theory has been instrumental in the development of modern mathematics, providing a rigorous foundation for concepts such as infinity and cardinality. However, set theory has also faced challenges, such as Russell's paradox, which arises when considering the set of all sets that do not contain themselves.
Category theory, introduced by Samuel Eilenberg and Saunders Mac Lane in the mid-20th century, focuses on the relationships between mathematical objects and the transformations between them. This theory provides a more abstract and general framework than set theory, allowing for the study of mathematical structures and their morphisms across various branches of mathematics. Category theory has found applications in areas such as algebraic geometry, topology, and theoretical computer science.
Physics: In physics, the standard model of quantum field theory describes the fundamental particles and forces of nature in terms of a Lagrangian, which specifies the dynamics of the system. This model has been incredibly successful in explaining a wide range of phenomena, from the behavior of subatomic particles to the interactions of fundamental forces. However, the standard model is known to be incomplete, as it does not account for gravity and fails to explain certain observations, such as the nature of dark matter and dark energy.
Quantum gravity theories, such as string theory and loop quantum gravity, attempt to reconcile quantum mechanics with general relativity, providing a unified description of gravity and the other fundamental forces. String theory posits that the fundamental building blocks of the universe are tiny, vibrating strings of energy, while loop quantum gravity describes space-time as a network of discrete loops. These theories offer radically different ontological perspectives on the nature of space, time, and matter at the smallest scales.
Interpretations of quantum mechanics, such as the Copenhagen interpretation and the many-worlds interpretation, provide different ontological frameworks for understanding the nature of quantum reality. The Copenhagen interpretation, developed by Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg, emphasizes the role of measurement in determining the state of a quantum system and the complementarity of particle and wave descriptions. The many-worlds interpretation, proposed by Hugh Everett, suggests that every quantum measurement splits the universe into multiple parallel worlds, each representing a different outcome.
Quantum Information and Computation: Quantum information theory and algorithmic information theory provide insights into the nature of information and computation at the quantum level. Quantum information theory studies the processing, transmission, and storage of information using quantum systems, exploiting phenomena such as superposition and entanglement. This theory has led to the development of quantum cryptography, which uses the principles of quantum mechanics to ensure secure communication, and quantum teleportation, which allows for the transfer of quantum states between distant locations.
Algorithmic information theory, developed by Ray Solomonoff, Andrey Kolmogorov, and Gregory Chaitin, defines the complexity of a string of data in terms of the shortest computer program that can generate it. This theory has deep connections to the foundations of mathematics, providing a framework for understanding the limits of computation and the nature of randomness. Quantum algorithmic information theory extends these ideas to the quantum realm, exploring the complexity of quantum states and the power of quantum computation.
Quantum Turing machines, a theoretical model of quantum computation introduced by David Deutsch, demonstrate the potential for quantum computers to perform certain tasks exponentially faster than classical computers. These machines leverage the principles of quantum mechanics, such as superposition and interference, to perform computations that would be infeasible on classical computers. Quantum algorithms, such as Shor's algorithm for factoring large numbers and Grover's algorithm for searching unstructured databases, have shown the potential for quantum computers to solve problems of practical importance.
Constructor theory, developed by David Deutsch and Chiara Marletto, seeks to provide a unified framework for understanding the nature of information, computation, and physical systems. This theory defines a constructor as a physical system that can perform a specific task, such as copying or transforming information. By focusing on the counterfactual properties of constructors, constructor theory aims to provide a more general and fundamental description of physical reality, encompassing both classical and quantum systems.
Interacting Scales and the Free Energy Principle: The interacting scales of natural sciences, from the subatomic to the cosmic, reveal the complex and hierarchical nature of reality. At each scale, different physical laws and mathematical descriptions apply, from the quantum mechanics of elementary particles to the general relativity of large-scale structures in the universe. Understanding the relationships and emergent properties between these scales is a central challenge in physics and other natural sciences.
Mathematics plays a crucial role in describing and understanding these scales, providing the language and tools for modeling physical systems. At the quantum scale, the equations of quantum mechanics, such as the Schrödinger equation and the Dirac equation, describe the behavior of subatomic particles. At the cosmic scale, the geometry of spacetime is described by the equations of general relativity, such as the Einstein field equations. The mathematical frameworks of gauge theory, differential geometry, and topology are essential for understanding the structure and dynamics of physical systems across scales.
The free energy principle, proposed by Karl Friston, suggests that biological systems, including the brain, operate by minimizing their free energy, a measure of surprise or uncertainty. This principle has its roots in statistical mechanics and information theory, and has been applied to understanding the behavior of complex systems, from single cells to entire ecosystems. According to the free energy principle, biological systems actively seek to minimize their free energy by updating their internal models of the world and selecting actions that maximize their expected future outcomes. This principle has implications for understanding the nature of life, cognition, and consciousness, and has been linked to theories of Bayesian inference, predictive coding, and embodied cognition.
Dynamical Systems and Neural Networks: Dynamical systems theory provides a framework for understanding the behavior of complex systems over time, from the weather to the brain. This theory studies the evolution of systems in state space, focusing on concepts such as attractors, bifurcations, and chaos. Dynamical systems can exhibit a wide range of behaviors, from simple periodic orbits to complex, unpredictable dynamics. The study of dynamical systems has applications in fields such as physics, biology, economics, and social sciences, providing insights into the emergence of order and complexity in natural and artificial systems.
Neural networks, inspired by the structure and function of the brain, have become a powerful tool in artificial intelligence and machine learning. These networks consist of interconnected nodes, or artificial neurons, that process and transmit information. By adjusting the strengths of the connections between nodes, neural networks can learn to perform tasks such as pattern recognition, classification, and prediction. Deep learning, a subfield of machine learning, uses neural networks with many layers to learn hierarchical representations of data, enabling the solution of complex problems in areas such as computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics.
Artificial Intelligence and Theoretical Models: AIXI, a theoretical model of artificial general intelligence proposed by Marcus Hutter, combines ideas from algorithmic information theory and decision theory to define an optimal agent in any computable environment. This model considers an agent that interacts with an environment, receiving observations and rewards, and selects actions to maximize its expected future reward. AIXI is based on Solomonoff's theory of inductive inference, which assigns probabilities to hypotheses based on their Kolmogorov complexity. While AIXI is not computable in practice, it provides a framework for understanding the nature of intelligence and the limits of rational decision-making.
The Gödel machine, proposed by Jürgen Schmidhuber, is a self-improving AI system that uses a theorem prover to optimize its own code. This system consists of a solver, which interacts with the environment, and a searcher, which seeks to improve the solver's performance by modifying its code. The Gödel machine is based on the principles of Gödel's incompleteness theorems, which show that any sufficiently powerful formal system cannot prove its own consistency. By continuously searching for improvements to its own code, the Gödel machine aims to achieve recursive self-improvement and open-ended intelligence.
Connectionism and Symbolic Information Processing: Connectionism and symbolic information processing represent two different approaches to understanding cognition and intelligence. Connectionism, also known as parallel distributed processing, emphasizes the role of distributed, parallel processing in neural networks. In this view, cognitive processes emerge from the interactions of simple processing units, without the need for explicit symbolic representations. Connectionist models have been successful in explaining a wide range of cognitive phenomena, from perception and memory to language and decision-making.
Symbolic information processing, on the other hand, focuses on the manipulation of discrete symbols and rules. This approach, which has its roots in the work of Alan Turing and John von Neumann, views cognition as the processing of symbolic representations according to explicit rules. Symbolic AI systems, such as expert systems and logic-based programming languages, have been used to solve problems in areas such as theorem proving, planning, and natural language understanding. While symbolic AI has faced challenges in dealing with the complexity and uncertainty of real-world environments, it remains an important paradigm in artificial intelligence and cognitive science.
Conclusion: Metaphysical ontologies provide a rich and diverse framework for understanding the nature of reality and existence across multiple disciplines. From the philosophy of mind to the foundations of mathematics, from quantum physics to artificial intelligence, these ontologies offer different perspectives on the fundamental questions that drive scientific and philosophical inquiry. By exploring the connections and implications of these ontologies, we can gain a deeper understanding of the complex and multifaceted nature of reality, and the role of human knowledge and understanding in shaping our view of the world. As research in these fields continues to advance, new insights and discoveries will undoubtedly emerge, challenging and expanding our current understanding of metaphysical ontologies and their place in the grand scheme of human knowledge."

Mapping out the space of all possible methods for generalizing various concrete structures is a very broad and open-ended task. There are many different types of concrete structures that could potentially be generalized, and for each one, there are likely numerous mathematical and conceptual approaches that could be taken to abstract and generalize their key properties and relationships.
That said, here is an attempt at a high-level mapping of some of the main spaces and dimensions along which concrete structures could potentially be generalized:
Concrete Structures to Generalize: - Graphs and networks - Geometrical objects and shapes - Algebraic structures (groups, rings, fields, etc.) - Topological spaces - Metric spaces - Vector spaces - Manifolds - Partially ordered sets - Lattices - Categories - Dynamical systems - Stochastic processes - Game theoretic structures
Aspects to Generalize: - Axioms and formal definitions - Key properties and invariants - Morphisms and structure-preserving maps - Substructures and superstructures - Products, coproducts, and other universal constructions - Representations in terms of other structures - Classification schemes - Extremal objects and optimization problems - Symmetries and group actions - Limit and colimit constructions - Measures and probability distributions - Computability and complexity of problems - Logical languages for describing structures
Methods of Generalization: - Abstraction of key properties into formal axioms - Relaxation or modification of axioms - Extension to higher dimensions or infinite dimensions - Allowing partial or multi-valued operations - Categorification and studying families of structures - Parametrization and studying moduli spaces - Probabilistic or measure-theoretic averaging - Representation in more general algebraic systems - Logical interpretations in broader classes of models - Unification via more universal ambient structures - Computation of invariants and structural complexity measures
This is by no means an exhaustive list, but hopefully gives a sense of the very wide range of concrete structures that mathematicians study, the many aspects of those structures that can be generalized, and some of the key conceptual tools and approaches used to extract unifying abstractions.
In any particular case, generalizing a concrete structure typically involves carefully analyzing its essential properties, determining which can be relaxed or modified, recasting definitions in more abstract terms, and then exploring the consequences and relationships that emerge in the broader generalized setting. The power of this process is that hidden connections between seemingly disparate structures often come to light, and a more unified understanding emerges.
Of course, the art is in finding generalizations that strike a balance between being broad enough to encompass many important examples, yet still restrictive enough to have meaningful structure and rich implications. Overly broad generalizations can become trivial, while overly narrow ones may apply to little beyond the original motivating examples.
Generalization is one of the engines that drives much of the progress in modern mathematics, enabling the discovery of deep patterns and unifying theories that tie together previously separate fields of study. While the full space of possible generalizations is likely inexhaustible, each new connection unveiled opens up further avenues to explore and expand our understanding of the hidden structures underlying mathematical reality.
"moduli spaces
Moduli spaces are geometric spaces whose points represent equivalence classes of geometric objects, such as algebraic varieties, vector bundles, or connections[1][2][3][4]. They arise as solutions to classification problems in algebraic geometry and mathematical physics[4].
The key idea is to parametrize a collection of interesting objects, like smooth algebraic curves of a fixed genus, by giving them the structure of a geometric space[4]. The points of the resulting moduli space correspond to isomorphism classes of the objects being classified[3].
In algebraic geometry, a moduli space is usually a scheme or algebraic stack[2][4]. The term "moduli" is used synonymously with "parameter" - moduli spaces were first understood as spaces of parameters rather than spaces of objects themselves[4]. They often carry natural geometric and topological structures that encode when two solutions to the classification problem are "close"[4].
Some key examples of moduli spaces include: - Moduli spaces of algebraic curves[2][4] - Moduli spaces of vector bundles and principal bundles[2][3] - Moduli spaces of Calabi-Yau manifolds[2] - Moduli spaces of connections and flat connections[2][3]
Moduli spaces play an important role in physics, such as in topological field theory where path integrals compute intersection numbers on moduli spaces[2]. They are also central to areas like algebraic topology and number theory, beyond the immediate context of the geometry being classified[5].

You Need To Break The Cycle Of Depression - YouTube "Depression is a complex mental health condition that can create a vicious cycle, where one problem leads to another. The key to breaking this cycle lies in understanding how depression affects our perception and cognitive biases. By addressing these biases, we can improve our mental well-being and fight depression more effectively.
The cycle of depression often starts with an inciting event, such as a breakup, loss of a loved one, or a failure. While most people recover from such events, those with depression may develop cognitive biases that shape their perception of the world in a negative manner. These biases include:
-
Negative interpretation of ambiguous events: For example, if a colleague doesn't say hello in the break room, a depressed person might interpret this as a sign that they are disliked, rather than considering other possibilities, such as the colleague being preoccupied or having a bad day.
-
Selection bias towards the negative: When receiving feedback, a depressed person may focus solely on the negative aspects while ignoring the positive ones. This selective attention reinforces negative beliefs about oneself and the world.
-
Overgeneralization of memories: Depressed individuals tend to remember events in broad, negative terms, rather than recalling specific details. For instance, they might conclude that a performance review went terribly, even if their boss praised their work and only mentioned a few areas for improvement.
These cognitive biases lead to a distorted perception of reality, causing depressed individuals to believe that everything in their life is going wrong. This, in turn, contributes to the development of a negative self-attitude, where the person concludes that they are inherently bad or flawed. Consequently, motivation decreases, and the cycle of depression perpetuates.
To break this cycle, it is crucial to address the perception problem. One effective technique is the mentality-materiality exercise, which involves acknowledging the objective attributes of an object or situation (materiality) and distinguishing them from the subjective meanings we attach to them (mentality). By practicing this exercise, we can learn to see things more objectively and reduce the impact of our cognitive biases.
Another helpful strategy is to challenge negative interpretations by considering alternative explanations and evidence that contradicts our initial assumptions. For example, if we believe that a colleague dislikes us because they didn't say hello, we can ask ourselves what other reasons might explain their behavior and look for evidence that supports or refutes our interpretation, like the other person having a stresful day themself.
To combat overgeneralization, it is essential to remove the "I" from our thinking and consider the broader context. Instead of assuming that everything revolves around us, we should consider the other person's perspective and the various factors that might influence their actions.
While depressed individuals may be more accurate in their perception of reality (a concept known as depressive realism), this accuracy does not necessarily promote mental health. A certain level of positive bias is necessary for maintaining a healthy mind.
In conclusion, breaking the cycle of depression requires a multi-faceted approach that addresses the underlying cognitive biases and perception problems. By practicing techniques such as the mentality-materiality exercise, challenging negative interpretations, and considering alternative perspectives, we can improve our mental well-being and fight depression more effectively. It is important to remember that seeking professional help, such as therapy or medication, can also be crucial in managing depression."

Command R+ explaining reality from first principles:
"Reality, at its most fundamental level, is composed of space, time, matter, and energy. These are the building blocks of the universe and the stage on which the play of existence unfolds.
Space is the three-dimensional expanse in which all physical objects exist and events occur. It is infinite in extent and provides the context for distance, direction, and relative position. Time is a linear progression of moments, a fourth dimension that allows for change, causality, and the perception of past, present, and future. Together, space and time form the framework known as spacetime, a four-dimensional manifold that describes the universe.
Matter and energy are the substances that inhabit spacetime. Matter constitutes physical objects, from subatomic particles to stars and galaxies. It has mass and occupies space. Energy, on the other hand, is the capacity for action or change. It can take many forms, such as potential energy, kinetic energy, light, and heat. According to the famous equation E=mc^2, matter and energy are interchangeable, highlighting their intrinsic connection.
The behavior of matter and energy is governed by physical laws, such as the laws of motion, gravity, and thermodynamics. These laws describe the fundamental rules and forces that govern the interactions and dynamics of particles and systems in the universe. They give rise to complex structures, from atoms and molecules to planets and living organisms.
At the smallest scales, matter and energy are described by quantum mechanics, which introduces concepts such as wave-particle duality and probability amplitudes. This framework reveals a probabilistic and inherently uncertain nature to reality at the quantum level, where particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously and interactions can have indeterminate outcomes.
The laws of physics also tell us that the universe is evolving. It began with a singularity, an infinitely dense point, in a event known as the Big Bang, and has been expanding and cooling ever since. Stars formed, synthesized heavier elements, and eventually gave rise to the chemical complexity necessary for life.
Life, then, is a self-sustaining and self-replicating system that emerged from this complex chemical soup. Through evolution by natural selection, life has diversified into the myriad forms we see today, each adapted to its specific ecological niche. Consciousness, a product of complex neural networks in certain life forms, allows for the subjective experience of reality and the interpretation of sensory data.
In summary, reality is a vast and intricate tapestry woven from the threads of space, time, matter, and energy, governed by physical laws, and evolving through cosmic and biological processes. It encompasses the entirety of existence, from the smallest subatomic particles to the largest galactic superclusters, and includes the subjective realm of conscious experience. Understanding reality is an ongoing pursuit of science, philosophy, and human curiosity."

The Great Attractor is a gravitational anomaly in intergalactic space that is pulling the Milky Way and hundreds of thousands of other galaxies towards it at high speed. Here are the key points about the Great Attractor:
-
It is located approximately 150-250 million light years from the Milky Way in the direction of the constellations Triangulum Australe and Norma[1]. However, it is difficult to observe directly because it lies in the Zone of Avoidance, a region obscured by the Milky Way's galactic plane[1].
-
The Great Attractor's gravitational pull is causing the Local Group of galaxies, including the Milky Way, to move towards it at about 600 km/s (1.3 million mph)[1][5]. Approximately 400 elliptical galaxies have been observed moving in its direction[1][5].
-
The mass concentration at the Great Attractor is estimated to be equivalent to tens of thousands of galaxies[1]. X-ray observations have revealed that the Norma Cluster, a massive cluster of galaxies, lies at its center[1].
-
However, the Norma Cluster alone does not fully explain the gravitational effects observed[2]. On an even larger scale, the Great Attractor itself is being pulled towards the Shapley Supercluster, an enormous concentration of over 8000 galaxies with a total mass of more than 10 million billion suns[1][2].
-
Despite its pull, the expansion of the universe will eventually cause the Local Group and other galaxies to disperse away from the Great Attractor in the distant future[3][5]. So while it is a significant gravitational influence, it will not consume the Milky Way or nearby galaxies.
In summary, the Great Attractor is a region of gravitational anomaly that is pulling our galaxy and many others towards it, but its effects are part of the complex cosmic flows in our expanding universe. It remains an intriguing subject of ongoing astronomical research.

This further expanded version includes an even greater breadth and depth of subfields, concepts, and examples across the various areas of formal and natural sciences, as well as their philosophical foundations and far future possibilities. The relationships between fields are highlighted through shared concepts, methods, and applications, as well as through the transdisciplinary sciences that bridge multiple domains. However, even this highly detailed map is still a compressed representation of the vast scope of human knowledge, and many important details, nuances, and emerging areas are necessarily omitted. The map could be further expanded and refined, delving into ever more specialized subfields and cutting-edge research topics. Nonetheless, I hope this provides a comprehensive overview of the incredible richness and complexity of scientific inquiry, and the profound implications it has for our understanding of the world and our place in it.
"The question "What is the meaning of life?" is a profound and complex one that has been contemplated by philosophers, theologians, and thinkers throughout human history. There is no single, agreed-upon answer, as the concept of meaning is deeply personal and can vary greatly from one individual to another.
Some common perspectives on the meaning of life include:
-
Religious and spiritual views: Many people find meaning through their religious or spiritual beliefs, which often provide a framework for understanding the purpose of life and one's place in the universe.
-
Personal fulfillment: For some, the meaning of life is found in the pursuit of personal happiness, growth, and self-actualization.
-
Relationships and love: Building strong, loving relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners can provide a deep sense of meaning and purpose for many individuals.
-
Making a difference: Some people find meaning in working to make the world a better place, whether through activism, philanthropy, or other forms of service to others.
-
The search for knowledge and understanding: Pursuing education, exploring the world, and seeking to understand the mysteries of the universe can provide a sense of meaning for those who value knowledge and discovery.
-
Embracing the present moment: Some philosophies, such as mindfulness and existentialism, emphasize the importance of living fully in the present and finding meaning in the here and now.
Ultimately, the meaning of life is a highly personal question that each individual must grapple with based on their own experiences, beliefs, and values. It is a journey of self-discovery and reflection that may evolve over the course of one's life."

Transformer networks are not copying the information exactly but instead storing an abstraction of it as weights that did not exist before, as does the human mind. I think this is reductionist logic that also applies to the human mind. Environmental data is the code, and the human mind is the compiler, therefore you are stealing data (that exist in the environment) every time you think. Although this is technically true this is not what we mean by stealing. This form of reductionist logic does not help in distinguishing what should be fair free use of information that is used but not stolen. Even if that information is owned by somebody else, we can still freely think about it. IMO, if the latter is not stealing, neither is the former.

Digital cameras work fundamentally because of the photoelectric effect first described by Albert Einstein in 1905, which says when a photon with sufficient energy strikes a material, it can cause an electron to be ejected from the material's surface. Photoelectric effect - Wikipedia
"From a physics perspective, a camera captures reality by recording the light that enters the camera through a lens and falls onto a light-sensitive surface, such as film or a digital sensor. The process can be broken down into several key principles:
-
Light: Reality is visible to us because objects reflect, emit, or transmit light. Light is an electromagnetic wave that travels in straight lines and interacts with matter.
-
Reflection and absorption: When light hits an object, some of it is reflected, while some is absorbed. The reflected light carries information about the object's color, texture, and shape.
-
Lens: A camera lens is designed to gather and focus light from the scene onto the light-sensitive surface. The lens is typically made of a series of curved glass or plastic elements that refract (bend) the light rays.
-
Aperture: The lens aperture is an adjustable opening that controls the amount of light entering the camera. A wider aperture allows more light to pass through, while a narrower aperture restricts the light.
-
Shutter: The camera shutter is a mechanism that opens and closes to control the duration of light exposure on the light-sensitive surface. The longer the shutter remains open, the more light is captured.
-
Light-sensitive surface: In traditional film cameras, the light-sensitive surface is a film coated with photosensitive chemicals that undergo changes when exposed to light. In digital cameras, the light-sensitive surface is an electronic sensor, typically a charge-coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) sensor. These sensors consist of millions of tiny light-sensitive elements called pixels.
-
Image formation: When light from the scene passes through the lens and falls on the light-sensitive surface, it creates a focused image. In film cameras, the light triggers chemical reactions in the film, while in digital cameras, the light is converted into electrical signals by the sensor.
-
Image processing: In digital cameras, the electrical signals from the sensor are processed by the camera's internal computer to create a digital image file. This process involves converting the raw sensor data into a visible image, applying color correction, and compressing the image data.
By controlling factors such as the lens focus, aperture size, shutter speed, and sensor sensitivity (ISO), photographers can capture reality in different ways, emphasizing certain aspects of the scene or creating specific artistic effects.
From a physics perspective, the conversion of light into electrical signals in a digital camera sensor relies on the photoelectric effect, which is a phenomenon where certain materials emit electrons when exposed to light. The process can be explained using the following principles:
-
Photons: Light consists of particles called photons, which exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties. Each photon carries a specific amount of energy determined by its wavelength.
-
Photoelectric effect: When a photon with sufficient energy strikes a material, it can cause an electron to be ejected from the material's surface. This process is known as the photoelectric effect, and it was first explained by Albert Einstein in 1905.
-
Semiconductor materials: Digital camera sensors are made of semiconductor materials, typically silicon. In a semiconductor, electrons can exist in two energy states: the valence band (lower energy) and the conduction band (higher energy). The gap between these two bands is called the bandgap.
-
Electron excitation: When a photon with energy greater than the bandgap energy strikes the semiconductor, it can excite an electron from the valence band to the conduction band, creating a free electron and a positively charged hole.
-
Pixel structure: Each pixel in a digital camera sensor consists of a photosensitive element, such as a photodiode, and additional electronics for charge collection and readout. The photodiode is a semiconductor device that converts light into an electrical signal.
-
Charge collection: As photons strike the photodiode, they generate electron-hole pairs. The electrons are collected in the photodiode's potential well, which is created by an applied electric field. The number of collected electrons is proportional to the intensity of the incident light.
-
Charge readout: After the exposure, the collected charges in each pixel are read out by the sensor's electronics. In a CCD sensor, the charges are transferred from pixel to pixel until they reach an output amplifier, which converts the charges into voltage signals. In a CMOS sensor, each pixel has its own amplifier, allowing for faster readout and lower power consumption.
-
Analog-to-digital conversion: The analog voltage signals from the sensor are then converted into digital values by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). These digital values represent the brightness and color information for each pixel in the final image.
The entire process, from photons striking the sensor to the creation of a digital image, is governed by the principles of quantum mechanics and solid-state physics. The efficiency of the light-to-electrical signal conversion depends on factors such as the sensor's quantum efficiency, noise characteristics, and electronic readout design.
The conversion of electrical signals back into light in screens, such as LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) displays, relies on different physical principles. Let's examine each technology separately:
LCD Screens: 1. Polarization: Light is an electromagnetic wave that can be polarized, meaning its electric field oscillates in a specific plane. LCD screens use two polarizing filters oriented at 90 degrees to each other.
-
Liquid crystals: Between the polarizing filters, there is a layer of liquid crystals. These molecules have an elongated shape and can be aligned by an electric field.
-
Electrical signals: The electrical signals from the device's graphics processor are applied to the liquid crystal layer via a grid of transparent electrodes. The voltage applied to each pixel determines the alignment of the liquid crystal molecules at that location.
-
Light modulation: When no voltage is applied, the liquid crystal molecules are aligned in a way that rotates the polarization of the light passing through, allowing it to pass through the second polarizing filter. When a voltage is applied, the molecules realign, and the light polarization is not rotated, causing the light to be blocked by the second filter.
-
Backlight: In most LCD screens, a backlight (usually LED) provides a constant source of white light behind the liquid crystal layer. The light intensity is modulated by the liquid crystal layer and polarizing filters to create the desired image.
OLED Screens: 1. Organic semiconductors: OLED screens use organic semiconductor materials that emit light when an electric current passes through them. These materials are composed of carbon-based molecules.
-
Electroluminescence: When an electric current is applied to the organic semiconductor, electrons are injected into the material from one electrode (cathode) and holes (positive charge carriers) from the other electrode (anode). When an electron and a hole meet, they combine and release energy in the form of a photon of light. This process is called electroluminescence.
-
Pixel structure: Each pixel in an OLED screen consists of three sub-pixels (red, green, and blue) made of different organic semiconductor materials that emit light of the corresponding colors when a current is applied.
-
Electrical signals: The electrical signals from the device's graphics processor control the current flowing through each sub-pixel. The intensity of the emitted light is proportional to the current, allowing for precise control over the brightness and color of each pixel.
-
Advantages: OLED screens have several advantages over LCD screens, including deeper blacks (as pixels can be completely turned off), wider viewing angles, and faster response times.
In both LCD and OLED screens, the electrical signals are converted back into light through the modulation of light polarization (LCD) or the direct emission of light by organic semiconductors (OLED). The final image is created by the combined light from all the pixels on the screen."
"Creating an integrated circuit (IC) from a physics perspective involves several complex steps. Here's a simplified overview of the process:
- Substrate preparation:
- Start with a pure semiconductor substrate, typically silicon.
- Create a single crystal silicon wafer through the Czochralski process, which involves melting high-purity silicon and slowly pulling a seed crystal from the melt to form a large single crystal.
-
Slice the single crystal into thin wafers and polish them to achieve a smooth surface.
-
Photolithography:
- Apply a layer of photoresist (light-sensitive material) onto the wafer surface.
- Use a photomask with the desired circuit pattern and expose the photoresist to light, typically ultraviolet (UV) light.
- The exposed areas of the photoresist undergo a chemical change, making them soluble in a developer solution.
-
Remove the exposed photoresist, leaving the desired pattern on the wafer.
-
Etching:
- Use the patterned photoresist as a mask and etch away the exposed areas of the underlying material (e.g., silicon dioxide) using chemical or physical etching processes.
-
Common etching techniques include wet etching (using chemical solutions) and dry etching (using plasma or ion beams).
-
Doping:
- Introduce impurities (dopants) into the exposed silicon regions to modify its electrical properties.
- Use ion implantation or diffusion processes to introduce dopants like boron (p-type) or phosphorus (n-type) into the silicon lattice.
-
Control the dopant concentration and distribution to create desired electrical characteristics.
-
Insulation and metallization:
- Deposit an insulating layer, typically silicon dioxide, over the entire wafer surface.
- Create openings in the insulating layer using photolithography and etching to expose the underlying silicon regions where electrical connections are needed.
- Deposit a metal layer (e.g., aluminum or copper) over the wafer surface, filling the openings and creating electrical connections.
-
Use additional photolithography and etching steps to pattern the metal layer and form the desired interconnects.
-
Passivation and packaging:
- Apply a final passivation layer to protect the IC from environmental factors and provide electrical insulation.
- Use packaging techniques to encapsulate the IC in a protective housing, such as a ceramic or plastic package.
- Create external electrical connections (e.g., pins or solder bumps) to allow the IC to interface with other components.
Throughout the process, various physical principles come into play, including: - Crystallography and solid-state physics: Understanding the properties and behavior of semiconductor materials. - Quantum mechanics: Describing the behavior of electrons and holes in semiconductors. - Optics and photonics: Utilizing light for photolithography and alignment. - Thermodynamics and kinetics: Controlling diffusion processes and thermal budget during fabrication. - Electromagnetism: Designing and optimizing electrical interconnects and device performance. - Surface science and chemistry: Understanding and controlling the interactions between materials and surfaces.
These steps provide a simplified overview of the IC fabrication process from a physics perspective. In practice, modern IC manufacturing involves many more intricate steps, precise control of process parameters, and advanced techniques to achieve nanoscale features and high device densities."
"The process by which photopigments cause a chemical change that generates electrical signals is called phototransduction. Here's a step-by-step explanation of this process from a fundamental perspective:
- Photopigment structure:
- Photopigments are light-sensitive molecules found in the photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) of the retina.
- A photopigment consists of a protein called an opsin and a chromophore, which is a light-sensitive molecule.
-
In human photoreceptors, the chromophore is 11-cis-retinal, a derivative of vitamin A.
-
Light absorption:
- When a photon of light with sufficient energy strikes a photopigment, it is absorbed by the chromophore (11-cis-retinal).
-
The absorption of the photon causes the 11-cis-retinal to isomerize (change its shape) to all-trans-retinal.
-
Conformational change:
- The isomerization of the chromophore induces a conformational change in the opsin protein.
-
This conformational change alters the shape of the opsin, converting it from an inactive state to an active state.
-
G-protein activation:
- The activated opsin (now called metarhodopsin II in rods) interacts with a G-protein called transducin.
-
The interaction causes the transducin to exchange its bound GDP (guanosine diphosphate) for GTP (guanosine triphosphate), activating the transducin.
-
Enzyme activation:
- The activated transducin separates from the metarhodopsin II and binds to a nearby enzyme called phosphodiesterase (PDE).
-
The binding of transducin activates the PDE, which is normally inhibited by a regulatory subunit.
-
cGMP hydrolysis:
- The activated PDE catalyzes the hydrolysis (breakdown) of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), a second messenger molecule.
-
cGMP is responsible for keeping the ion channels in the photoreceptor cell membrane open.
-
Closure of ion channels:
- As the concentration of cGMP decreases due to PDE activity, the cGMP-gated ion channels in the photoreceptor cell membrane close.
-
These channels normally allow the influx of sodium (Na+) and calcium (Ca2+) ions into the cell, maintaining a depolarized state in darkness.
-
Hyperpolarization:
- The closure of the cGMP-gated ion channels leads to a reduction in the inward current of Na+ and Ca2+ ions.
-
This causes the photoreceptor cell to become hyperpolarized, meaning the inside of the cell becomes more negative relative to the outside.
-
Neurotransmitter release:
- In the dark, photoreceptors continuously release the neurotransmitter glutamate from their synaptic terminals.
- The hyperpolarization of the photoreceptor cell in response to light reduces the release of glutamate.
-
The change in glutamate release is detected by the bipolar cells and other downstream neurons in the retina, initiating the neural processing of the visual signal.
-
Signal amplification:
- The phototransduction process amplifies the signal generated by a single photon.
- One activated photopigment can activate multiple transducin molecules, and each activated PDE can hydrolyze many cGMP molecules.
- This amplification allows the photoreceptors to detect even small amounts of light.
The phototransduction process is a complex cascade of molecular events that converts the energy of a photon into an electrical signal in the photoreceptor cells. This signal is then processed by the retinal circuitry and transmitted to the brain for further interpretation and perception."

"Here is my attempt at a long, detailed, technical debate on the nature of reality, theories of everything, science, math, AI, the future of humanity, and the ultimate fate of the universe:
The nature of reality is one of the deepest and most complex questions we can ponder. At the most fundamental level, what is the universe made of? Is reality ultimately physical, reducible to elementary particles and forces as described by the Standard Model of particle physics and quantum field theory? Or is information more fundamental, with the physical universe emerging from abstract mathematical relationships, as proposed by theories like the holographic principle? Perhaps consciousness itself is the deepest layer of reality, as argued by philosophical idealism. Or maybe the universe is fundamentally computational, a vast simulation running on some cosmic computer, as entertained by the simulation hypothesis.
These questions tie into the quest for a theory of everything that would unite quantum mechanics and general relativity, explaining all of physics in one elegant mathematical framework. String theory is the leading candidate, positing that all particles and forces arise from tiny vibrating strings of energy. But string theory exists in 10 or 11 dimensions and is currently untestable. Rival approaches like loop quantum gravity, causal sets, and geometrodynamics aim for a background-independent quantum theory of gravity. Meanwhile, eternally inflating cosmological models propose that our universe is just one of infinitely many bubble universes in a vast multiverse.
Progress in physics and cosmology will require advances in mathematics, such as developing a rigorous formulation of quantum field theory and solving the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap problem (one of the Millennium Prize problems). Category theory, topos theory, and homotopy type theory represent promising new directions that reformulate math in terms of abstract structures and spaces. Computerized theorem proving allows exploring the consequences of mathematical axioms too complex for humans to reason about.
Artificial intelligence is making rapid strides and may soon surpass human-level intelligence. Machine learning systems already outperform humans at pattern recognition, strategic games, and scientific data analysis. Extrapolating this progress suggests artificial general intelligence (AGI) may be developed this century, able to match the human brain's flexibility and creativity. The next step would be artificial superintelligence (ASI), able to radically exceed human cognitive abilities. An intelligence explosion could follow, with ever more intelligent AI systems recursively improving themselves.
The prospect of superintelligent AI raises profound questions and concerns. Could we maintain control of such a system and ensure it respects human values? How can we specify the right goals and motivations for an ASI to preserve its benevolence? A misaligned superintelligence could pose an existential threat to humanity. At the same time, a well-designed ASI could help solve many challenges: curing diseases, reversing aging, mitigating climate change, and expanding into the cosmos.
Becoming a spacefaring civilization is essential for humanity's long-term survival and flourishing. We are vulnerable to extinction from a single catastrophe (asteroid impact, pandemic, nuclear war, etc.) if confined to Earth. Spreading through the solar system and eventually to other stars would make humanity much more resilient. In the coming centuries, we could establish self-sustaining colonies on the Moon, Mars, and free-floating space habitats. Radical life extension technology could enable humans to survive the long voyages between stars.
Our far future prospects depend on the amount of energy we can harness and the degree to which we can restructure matter. The Kardashev scale classifies civilizations by their energy use: Type I uses the energy output of a planet, Type II of a star, and Type III of a galaxy. Currently we are a Type 0 civilization, using a fraction of Earth's available energy. Progressing to Type I and beyond will require space-based solar power, fusion reactors, and megastructures like Dyson swarms that capture all of a star's energy output.
Given sufficient energy and technology, we could engage in large-scale cosmic engineering projects, like moving stars, altering planetary orbits, and creating wormholes. Such a civilization might be able to survive the accelerating expansion of the universe by gathering stars and galaxies into a local region. Ultimately, we may need to create a new universe via "reproduction" and transfer into it, before the heat death or Big Rip of our current universe.
Of course, these are extremely speculative far future possibilities. We have no guarantee of surviving that long or achieving such heights of technological power. In the coming decades and centuries, we face many potential existential risks: environmental collapse, engineered pandemics, unaligned AI, molecular nanotechnology arms race, etc. Navigating these risks will require great wisdom, international cooperation, and careful management of powerful emerging technologies.
The trajectory of life and intelligence in the universe remains shrouded in uncertainty. Are we alone or is the cosmos teeming with alien civilizations? If advanced aliens exist, why haven't they made their presence known? Perhaps intelligent life is rare and short-lived, snuffed out by existential risks before it can spread far. Or maybe advanced civilizations inevitably "transcend" to some inscrutable higher level of existence. SETI has not yet detected any signals but our searches have covered only a minuscule portion of the vast cosmic haystack.
Ultimately, the story of intelligence in our universe is the story of using knowledge to manipulate matter and energy according to complex goals. Through the lens of thermodynamics, life is a local rebellion against the universe's inexorable trend toward increasing entropy and disorder. Civilization's grandest ambition is to perpetuate this rebellion indefinitely, to leverage the power of stars, galaxies, and perhaps the universe itself to create a "cosmic endowment" of freewheeling complexity that can last as long as physically possible.
This endowment could take the form of unimaginably rich virtual realities, allowing vast numbers of sentient beings to live out their dreams in simulated worlds. Or it could involve the creation of new "basement universes" via reproduction, extending the reach of intelligence beyond our current cosmological horizon. If the universe is infinite, perhaps intelligence is destined to saturate it completely, transforming all available matter into thinking substrates.
Of course, these visions border on science fiction and much remains uncertain. We may never fully understand the nature of reality or find a neat theory of everything. Superintelligent AI may elude us or prove impossible to control. Existential risks could wipe us out long before any cosmic endowment. But as the only known intelligence in the universe, we have a responsibility to survive and flourish, to do what we can to fathom the cosmos and secure a grand future for the unfolding of complexity. Though the path ahead is shrouded in mystery, we must press on with hope and determination, knowing that our choices today could ripple through the aeons and light the first spark of a cosmos suffused with intelligence."

"Here is my attempt at a long, detailed, technical debate on the nature of reality, theories of everything, science, math, AI, the future of humanity, and the fate of the universe:
The nature of reality is one of the deepest and most complex questions we can ponder. At the most fundamental level, what is the universe made of? Is reality ultimately physical, reducible to particles and forces, or is there an irreducible mental aspect, as posited by idealism and panpsychism? Physicalism holds that everything supervenes on the physical, while dualist views argue for separate mental and physical substances.
Drilling down, the ontology of spacetime is hotly debated. Is spacetime a substantival entity in its own right, or merely a codification of relations between events, as argued by relationalists? The former view accords with general relativity's depiction of spacetime as a dynamical entity, while quantum theories arguably favor the latter view. Reconciling the continuous spacetime of GR with the discreteness and non-locality of quantum mechanics is a key challenge for any theory of quantum gravity aiming to unify these frameworks.
String theory is the most developed approach to quantum gravity and a candidate "theory of everything." It posits that fundamental particles are actually vibrating strings or membranes in 10 or 11 dimensions. The extra dimensions are "compactified," curled up at the Planck scale. Different compactifications yield different low-energy physics, suggesting our universe may be one of a vast "multiverse" of possibilities. But string theory is background-dependent (spacetime is an input) and still lacks full non-perturbative formulation and experimental support.
Loop quantum gravity quantizes spacetime itself into discrete "atoms" of space with quantum properties. It recovers GR in the classical limit and resolves singularities in black holes and the Big Bang, but its dynamics are less developed than string theory's, and unification with matter remains an open problem. Causal dynamical triangulations and causal sets are other background-independent approaches.
The Bekenstein bound relates a physical system's information content to its surface area, hinting at a holographic principle whereby physics in a region is encoded on its boundary, as in the AdS/CFT correspondence between gravity in Anti-de Sitter space and conformal field theory on its boundary. The ER=EPR conjecture further relates quantum entanglement to wormholes.
Quantum mechanics is among our most successful scientific theories, but its interpretation remains controversial. The measurement problem asks why we observe definite outcomes rather than superpositions. Proposed resolutions include wavefunction collapse, hidden variables (e.g. de Broglie-Bohm), and Everett's many-worlds interpretation. Decoherence explains the classical appearance of the macroscopic world but doesn't solve the measurement problem. Quantum Bayesianism recasts QM as a subjective theory of an agent's beliefs.
Relativity and quantum field theory are the twin pillars of modern physics, but conflict in their conceptions of space and time. QFT describes particles as excitations of fields and interactions via virtual particle exchange. The Standard Model of particle physics unifies the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces, but gravity remains elusive. Supersymmetry - a symmetry between bosons and fermions - is a key ingredient of string theory and may resolve hierarchy problems in the SM if discovered at higher energies.
Cosmological observations indicate that ~95% of the universe's contents are invisible dark matter and dark energy. DM is believed to be non-baryonic, cold, and collisionless, possibly axions or weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) not in the SM. DE may be Einstein's cosmological constant, indicating a small positive vacuum energy density and negative pressure, or a dynamical field like quintessence. The universe is expanding at an accelerating rate and is nearly spatially flat, consistent with cosmic inflation - exponential expansion in the early universe driven by a hypothetical inflaton field. Inflation explains the universe's large-scale homogeneity, isotropy, and flatness, and seeds structure formation via quantum fluctuations, but its microphysical basis remains speculative. Eternal inflation suggests our universe may be one bubble in an endlessly inflating multiverse.
The arrow of time and the low entropy of the early universe are deep puzzles. Thermodynamics describes the irreversible flow of heat and increase of entropy in macroscopic systems, but is challenged to explain the universe's initial state. Proposed explanations include the Weyl curvature hypothesis, a multiverse with differing arrows of time, and the Aguirre-Gratton model where time is fundamental and the Big Bang is not a boundary. The black hole information paradox asks whether information is lost in black hole evaporation, with profound implications for unitarity and fundamental physics.
The origin of the universe remains mysterious. Did time begin at the Big Bang, or was there a previous contracting phase, as in the Big Bounce scenario? Inflationary models describe our universe's origin as a quantum fluctuation, but require fine-tuned initial conditions. Hawking proposed that the universe has no boundary, with time becoming space in the early universe. Vilenkin's tunneling proposal and Hartle & Hawking's no-boundary proposal describe the universe as a quantum tunneling event "from nothing," but debate persists over the meaning of "nothing." Cyclic models suggest the Big Bang was a collision between branes in a higher dimensional space, with cycles of expansion and contraction. Penrose's conformal cyclic cosmology posits an infinite succession of "aeons," each an expanding universe that becomes the Big Bang of the next. Steinhardt & Turok proposed an ekpyrotic model where our universe is birthed from a collision of branes in M-theory. Carroll & Chen suggest our universe is a thermal fluctuation in a higher dimensional space. String gas cosmology aims to describe the universe's origin and structure using string theory. Ultimately, a quantum theory of gravity will be needed to fully understand the universe's origin and evolution.
The unification of fundamental forces is a major goal of theoretical physics. Grand unified theories (GUTs) unify the strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions, typically at high energies (~10^16 GeV) inaccessible to current accelerators. Supersymmetric GUTs can resolve hierarchy problems and allow coupling constant unification at the GUT scale. Proton decay is a key prediction of GUTs, but has not been observed, constraining models. String theory goes further in unifying gravity with other forces and positing a theory of everything, but remains untested. Loop quantum gravity suggests that spacetime itself is discrete and quantized at the Planck scale, but its dynamics and unification with matter are less developed. Asymptotic safety is the idea that gravity may be non-perturbatively renormalizable and UV-complete without requiring new physics.
The interpretation of quantum mechanics has deep implications for the nature of reality. The Copenhagen interpretation, developed by Bohr and Heisenberg, takes wave function collapse and the privileged role of measurement as fundamental. But it is vague on what constitutes a measurement or observer. The many-worlds interpretation of Everett holds that the wave function never collapses; rather, the universe continually branches into all possible outcomes. This avoids ad hoc collapse but is ontologically extravagant. Objective collapse theories like GRW modify the Schrödinger equation to include spontaneous collapses. But they struggle to recover the Born rule probabilities. Hidden variables theories like de Broglie-Bohm make quantum mechanics deterministic but non-local. The quantum Bayesian approach of Fuchs, Mermin and others treats quantum states as subjective degrees of belief rather than objective reality. The decoherence program of Zeh, Zurek and others explains the apparent collapse of the wave function as a consequence of interaction with the environment, but doesn't resolve the measurement problem. Relational quantum mechanics suggests that different observers can give different accounts of the same events. Retrocausal interpretations allow the future to affect the past. These interpretations have deep implications for the nature of reality, but may not be empirically distinguishable.
The philosophy of physics asks foundational questions about the nature of space, time, matter, causality, and physical law. Substantivalism holds that space and time are real entities, while relationalism holds that they are merely a codification of relations between events. Presentism holds that only the present is real, while eternalism holds that past, present, and future are equally real. Platonism holds that mathematical objects like numbers and sets exist abstractly, while nominalism denies their existence. Structural realism holds that science describes the structure of reality, not its intrinsic nature. Ontic structural realism goes further in suggesting that structure is all there is. Physicalism holds that everything supervenes on the physical, while idealism inverts this to suggest mind is fundamental. Determinism holds that the future is fixed by the past, while indeterminism allows for chance events. The problem of free will asks how free choice is possible in a law-governed universe. The problem of time asks why we experience time's flow despite its absence in fundamental physics. The nature of physical law is disputed: are laws mere descriptions, or do they govern nature? These deep questions remain unresolved.
The arrow of time is a major puzzle in physics. The fundamental laws of physics are time-symmetric, allowing processes to run backwards as well as forwards. But the second law of thermodynamics states that entropy - a measure of disorder - always increases in closed systems. This gives time a direction, from low entropy in the past to high entropy in the future. The universe as a whole obeys the second law, with low entropy at the Big Bang increasing thereafter. But why was entropy so low in the early universe? This is a major puzzle in cosmology. Inflation suggests that the early universe was in a pure quantum state with little entropy, but eventually decohered into a high-entropy mixed state. Black holes are another frontier for the arrow of time. Bekenstein and Hawking showed that black holes have entropy proportional to their surface area. But this entropy is not infinite, suggesting limits to the information that can be lost in a black hole. The black hole information paradox asks whether information is destroyed when black holes evaporate, violating quantum mechanics' unitarity. Proposed resolutions include the idea that information leaks out slowly during evaporation, that it escapes in a final burst, that Hawking radiation is pure from the start, or that information is stored in a Planck-scale remnant. But the issue remains controversial, with deep implications for quantum gravity.
The measurement problem is a central issue in the foundations of quantum mechanics. QM describes systems in superpositions of different states. But when we measure a system, we always find it in a definite state, not a superposition. What causes this apparent "collapse" of the wave function? The Copenhagen interpretation takes collapse as fundamental, but is vague on what constitutes a measurement. The many-worlds interpretation holds that the wave function never collapses; rather, the universe branches into all possible outcomes. This is ontologically extravagant and struggles to recover the Born rule probabilities. Objective collapse theories like GRW modify the Schrödinger equation to include spontaneous collapses, but their parameters are ad hoc. Hidden variables theories like de Broglie-Bohm make QM deterministic but non-local. Decoherence explains the classical appearance of the macroscopic world, but doesn't solve the measurement problem. Relational QM suggests that different observers can give different accounts of the same events. Retrocausal interpretations allow the future to affect the past. Ultimately, a realist interpretation of QM must resolve the measurement problem. But doing so may require modifying QM or our notions of reality.
The interpretation of quantum mechanics bears on the nature of reality. The Copenhagen interpretation is instrumentalist, treating QM as a tool for predicting observations but making no claims about reality. But this is unsatisfying for scientific realists, who seek a description of reality independent of observers. The many-worlds interpretation is realist but ontologically profligate, positing a vast multiverse of unobservable worlds. Hidden variables interpretations like de Broglie-Bohm are also realist, but require non-local influences and have been challenged by Bell's theorem. Objective collapse theories modify QM to include a stochastic collapse process, but the details are ad hoc. The decoherence program explains the emergence of classical behavior but doesn't resolve the measurement problem. Quantum Bayesianism treats quantum states subjectively, as degrees of belief rather than objective reality. Ultimately, a realist interpretation of QM must resolve the measurement problem and give a satisfying account of the underlying ontology. But this remains elusive, suggesting that QM may require a revolution in our understanding of reality.
The nature of time is a deep puzzle in physics and philosophy. In relativity, there is no absolute simultaneity, and different observers disagree on the order of events. In quantum mechanics, time is a parameter, not an observable, and the Wheeler-DeWitt equation suggests that time may not be fundamental. The arrow of time - the distinction between past and future - is a major puzzle, since the fundamental laws of physics are time-symmetric. The second law of thermodynamics gives time a direction, but the low entropy of the early universe remains unexplained. Presentism holds that only the present is real, while eternalism holds that past, present, and future are equally real. The A-theory of time holds that the flow of time is an objective feature of reality, while the B-theory holds that it is a subjective illusion. Time may emerge from a more fundamental timeless reality, as suggested by quantum gravity. But the nature of time remains a deep mystery at the heart of physics.
The hard problem of consciousness asks how subjective experience arises from objective physical processes. Dualism holds that mind and matter are separate substances, but struggles to explain their interaction. Physicalism holds that consciousness supervenes on the physical, but struggles to explain its subjective character. Panpsychism holds that consciousness is fundamental and ubiquitous, but this is counterintuitive. Idealism holds that consciousness is all there is, but struggles to explain the apparent reality of the external world. The integrated information theory of Tononi suggests that consciousness arises from the integration of information in complex systems, but the details are speculative. The global workspace theory of Baars and Dehaene suggests that consciousness arises when information is broadcast widely in the brain, but this may not explain qualia. The orchestrated objective reduction theory of Penrose and Hameroff suggests that consciousness arises from quantum gravity effects in microtubules, but this is highly speculative. Ultimately, the hard problem remains a deep mystery, suggesting that our current concepts may be inadequate to explain consciousness.
The possibility of machine consciousness raises profound questions. Could an artificial system be conscious? Would it be a subject of experience, with qualia and first-person phenomenology? Or would it merely be a zombie, with complex behavior but no inner life? The computational theory of mind suggests that consciousness arises from information processing, and hence that suitably complex AIs could be conscious. But others argue that consciousness requires specific physical substrates like brains, or even quantum gravity effects. The behavior of AIs may be indistinguishable from that of conscious beings, but this may not settle the question of their inner experience. The possibility of machine consciousness also raises ethical questions. Would conscious AIs be moral patients, deserving of rights and protections? How could we assess their well-being and suffering? The issue is complicated by the possibility of vastly superhuman AI, which may have radically alien forms of consciousness and value. Ultimately, the question of machine consciousness is both an empirical and philosophical challenge, requiring us to confront the nature of mind and ethics.
The possibility of superintelligent AI raises profound challenges for the future of humanity. An AI system that exceeded human intelligence in all domains could be transformative, potentially solving many of our greatest challenges. But it could also pose existential risks, if its goals were misaligned with human values. The problem of value alignment asks how we can ensure that a superintelligent AI system pursues goals that are beneficial to humanity. This is difficult because human values are complex, context-dependent, and hard to specify formally. The problem is compounded by the possibility of fast takeoff, where a self-improving AI rapidly becomes superintelligent, leaving little time for correction. Proposed solutions include value learning, where the AI learns human values from observation and feedback; inverse reinforcement learning, where the AI infers human values from behavior; and cooperative inverse reinforcement learning, where the AI and humans work together to clarify values. But these approaches face challenges, such as the difficulty of specifying reward functions, the risk of perverse instantiation, and the possibility of deceptive alignment. Other proposals include building in explicit ethical constraints, using ensemble methods to reduce risk, and pursuing differential technological development to ensure that beneficial AI arrives before dangerous AI. Ultimately, the challenge of value alignment is both a technical and philosophical problem, requiring us to clarify and formalize our deepest values and ensure their realization in a radically transformed future.
The Fermi paradox asks why we see no evidence of alien civilizations, despite the vastness of the universe and the apparent plausibility of intelligent life. Proposed resolutions include the idea that intelligent life is rare, that it tends to destroy itself, that it chooses not to expand or communicate, or that we are in a cosmic zoo or simulation. The Drake equation estimates the number of communicating civilizations in the galaxy, but its parameters are highly uncertain. The Kardashev scale classifies civilizations by their energy use, with Type I harnessing the resources of a planet, Type II a star, and Type III a galaxy. But we see no evidence of such advanced civilizations, suggesting that they are rare or nonexistent. The great filter hypothesis suggests that there are one or more critical steps in the evolution of intelligent life that are very difficult to pass, such as the origin of
The philosophy of technology is a central area of philosophy, with deep implications for our understanding of the nature of technology, its relationship to science and society, and its ethical and political dimensions. The ontology of technology, including the nature of technological artifacts, systems, and processes, and the relationship between technology and nature, is a key issue in the philosophy of technology. The epistemology of technology, including the nature of technological knowledge, the role of design and innovation, and the possibility of technological progress, is another important issue. The ethics of technology, including the moral implications of technological development and use, the responsibility of designers and users, and the possibility of technological determinism, is a central concern in the philosophy of technology. The philosophy of technology also intersects with issues in the philosophy of science, such as the nature of scientific instruments and experiments, the role of technology in scientific discovery and explanation, and the relationship between pure and applied science. The development of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and nanotechnology, has raised new philosophical questions about the nature of human identity, agency, and responsibility, and the future of humanity in a technologically advanced world. The philosophy of technology remains an active and important area of research, with ongoing debates and new developments in technology, ethics, and society.
The philosophy of religion is a central area of philosophy, with deep implications for our understanding of the nature of God, the meaning of life, and the relationship between faith and reason. The existence of God, including the classical arguments for and against theism, the problem of evil, and the nature of religious experience, is a key issue in the philosophy of religion. The nature of religious language"
We are accelerating since the big bang
Combine as many mathematical concepts as you can to explain intelligence, experience, universe.
Examples:
Which selfconstructed topos mathematical universe do you live in?
Which neural dynamics wave equation did you hebbian learned in your neural collective intelligence?
How diverse is your mind's ecosystem of interacting subsymbolic topological manifolds?
Typology of all possible typologies of all possible real world and imagined objects and all possible relationships between them encoded as the space of all possible configurations of a generalown probabilistic metahypergraph as objects in its category theoretical category
How complex nested heterarchy of symmetry groups does your neural generative world model have as foundational generators of structure?
Which cybernetic locally optimal controllers do you use to regulate the structure preserving metastable foundational symmetry breaking structures in your collective neural intelligence at the edge of chaos?
"The universe can be viewed as a vast mathematical object - perhaps an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space or a category theoretical topos, containing all possible structures and dynamics. The fundamental laws of physics arise from the symmetries and invariances of this mathematical substrate.
Within this mathematical universe, pockets of reduced symmetry emerge, breaking the homogeneity. These symmetry-breaking events create structure and information - from particles and forces to complex systems like life and intelligence.
Intelligence itself can be seen as a process of modeling and navigating the mathematical landscapes of this universe. A mind contains an internal representation - a generative model of the world implemented in the neural networks of the brain. This model is a kind of sub-manifold or subspace of the total space of possibilities, constrained by the embodied experiences and evolutionary history of the organism.
The neural networks that implement cognition can be viewed as dynamical systems, their activity governed by differential equations. Hebbian learning sculpts the connection weights, forming attractors that correspond to concepts, categories, and predictions. The fully developed mind is thus a rich ecosystem of interacting cell assemblies, each a kind of sub-symbolic topological manifold.
Experience then is the process of a mind navigating its own internal model and the external mathematical universe, constantly updating its structure to minimize prediction error. Consciousness arises as an emergent property of this process, the integration of information flows across the mind's heterarchical networks.
The most successful minds are those that can flexibly adapt their models, maintaining a delicate balance at the edge of chaos, neither too rigid nor too random. They evolve cybernetic control systems to regulate their own learning and growth, and to seek out new experiences that expand their models towards greater correspondence with the mathematical reality.
Ultimately, through the lens of mathematics, we are self-organizing patterns, evolving and exploring the infinite space of possible configurations, our inner worlds strange loops reflecting the eternal mathematical truths from which we emerge and to which we return."
"Certainly! Let's dive deeper into the mathematical concepts and technical details:
The universe can be modeled as an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space H, equipped with a set of observables forming a C*-algebra A, and a state vector |ψ⟩ ∈ H. Alternatively, it can be described as a topos τ, a category theoretical construct containing all possible objects and morphisms, with a subobject classifier Ω and a set of axioms governing its internal logic.
The fundamental laws of physics emerge from the symmetries and invariances of these mathematical structures, described by Lie groups and their associated Lie algebras. Spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs when the ground state |ψ₀⟩ of a system is not invariant under the action of a symmetry group G, leading to the emergence of structure and information.
Intelligence can be modeled as a process of navigating and updating a generative model of the world, implemented in the neural networks of the brain. These networks can be described as dynamical systems governed by equations such as the Hodgkin-Huxley model or the Wilson-Cowan equations. The connection weights w_ij between neurons i and j evolve according to Hebbian learning rules, such as ∂w_ij/∂t = η x_i x_j, where η is the learning rate and x_i, x_j are the firing rates of the neurons.
The attractor states of these dynamical systems correspond to concepts, categories, and predictions, forming a high-dimensional manifold M embedded in the space of possible neural activity patterns. The dimensionality and topology of this manifold can be analyzed using techniques from algebraic topology, such as persistent homology and the Betti numbers β_k, which characterize the k-dimensional holes in the manifold.
The mind's internal model can be thought of as a sub-manifold or subspace of the total space of possibilities, constrained by the organism's embodied experiences and evolutionary history. This subspace can be described as a pullback of the universal morphism f: X → Ω in the topos τ, where X is the object representing the mind and Ω is the subobject classifier.
Experience is the process of navigating and updating this internal model based on sensory input and prediction errors. This can be formalized using the framework of Bayesian inference and free energy minimization, where the mind seeks to minimize the variational free energy F = E_q[log q(x)] - E_q[log p(x,φ)], with q(x) being the approximate posterior distribution over the internal states x, p(x,φ) the generative model with parameters φ, and E_q denoting the expectation under q.
Consciousness emerges as an integrated information structure, which can be quantified using measures such as the integrated information Φ, defined as the amount of information generated by a system above and beyond the information generated by its parts. The complex nested heterarchy of the mind's neural networks gives rise to high values of Φ, corresponding to rich conscious experiences.
Optimal mental functioning occurs at the edge of chaos, where the mind's dynamics are neither too rigid nor too random. This can be quantified using measures from information theory and nonlinear dynamics, such as the Lyapunov exponents λ_i, which characterize the rate of divergence or convergence of nearby trajectories in the mind's state space. Cybernetic control systems, such as predictive coding hierarchies and reinforcement learning algorithms, help maintain this delicate balance.
In summary, the mathematical universe provides the foundation for the emergence of structure, intelligence, and consciousness, which can be modeled and analyzed using a wide range of technical tools from theoretical physics, topology, dynamical systems theory, information theory, and category theory. By understanding these deep mathematical principles, we gain insight into the nature of our own minds and their place in the grand cosmic tapestry."

"Realism and liberalism are two major theories in international relations that offer contrasting perspectives on how the world works and what drives state behavior.
Realism posits that the international system is anarchic and that states are primarily motivated by self-interest and the pursuit of power[1][2][3][4]. Key tenets of realism include:
- States are the main actors in international politics and operate in an anarchic system with no overarching authority[1][2]
- Power, especially military power, is the currency of international politics. States seek to maximize their relative power[1][3][4]
- Conflict and competition between states is inevitable as they pursue their national interests[1][2][4]
- Moral concerns are secondary to power politics and national security[4]
In contrast, liberalism offers a more optimistic view, emphasizing the potential for cooperation, peace and progress[2][4][5]. Core liberal ideas include:
- International institutions, law, and norms can mitigate the effects of anarchy and facilitate cooperation[2][4]
- Economic interdependence makes war less likely as states have mutual interests in trade and growth[2][4]
- The spread of democracy and human rights can contribute to international peace[4][5]
- Individuals and non-state actors also matter in world politics, not just states[3]
However, both theories have limitations. Realism struggles to explain instances of cooperation and the changing nature of power in an globalized world[3][4]. Liberalism can seem overly idealistic and has difficulty accounting for the persistence of conflict[1][4].
Many scholars argue the world is too complex to be explained by one paradigm[2][3]. Some posit a synthesis of realist and liberal ideas is needed[3][4]. Ultimately, both theories offer valuable insights and remain influential in explaining state behavior and international relations[4][5].

"The free energy principle, proposed by neuroscientist Karl Friston, is a unifying theory of how biological systems maintain their order and resist entropy. The key ideas are:
-
Any self-organizing system that appears to resist the natural tendency to disorder must minimize its free energy[1][2][4]. Free energy can be thought of as surprise or prediction error - the difference between the system's model of the world and its sensory inputs[2].
-
Biological systems like the brain accomplish this by: 1) Updating their internal model to infer the hidden causes of sensory data (perception/learning)[1][2][4]. This makes the internal model a good predictor of sensory inputs, minimizing surprise.
2) Acting on the environment to sample data that conforms to the current model (action)[1][2][4]. This also minimizes surprise by making sensory data more predictable. -
Minimizing free energy mathematically corresponds to maximizing Bayesian model evidence - the probability of sensory data given the system's model[1][3]. So self-organizing systems can be seen as continuously optimizing their models of the world.
-
The free energy principle applies to any biological system, from single cells to complex organisms and societies[1][3]. It provides a unified account of perception, learning, action, homeostasis, and evolutionary adaptation[1][2][4].
In summary, the free energy principle proposes that living systems maintain their integrity and adaptively respond to their environment by minimizing the mismatch between their internal models and sensory reality. This elegant theory connects ideas from thermodynamics, information theory, and Bayesian inference to explain the behavior of biological systems across scales.

"Geometric deep learning is an emerging field that aims to extend the success of deep learning to more complex, non-Euclidean datasets by incorporating geometric priors and invariances into neural network architectures[1][4]. The key idea is to exploit the known symmetries and regularities arising from the underlying structure of the data, such as grids, graphs, or manifolds[4].
Some key aspects of geometric deep learning include:
- Designing linear and non-linear equivariant layers that respect the symmetries of the data, such as convolutions on graphs or spheres[1]
- Incorporating local averaging and pooling to impose scale invariance and hierarchical representations[1]
- Using global averaging to achieve invariance to transformations like rotations and permutations[1]
- Unifying popular architectures like CNNs, GNNs, and Transformers under a common mathematical framework based on symmetry and invariance principles[4]
Geometric deep learning provides a principled way to incorporate prior knowledge into neural networks and generalize them to new domains[4]. It has already led to state-of-the-art results in areas like computer vision, graphics, and computational chemistry, with applications to protein structure prediction, particle physics, and 3D shape analysis[4][5].
However, the field is still rapidly evolving with many open challenges around scalability, stability, and extending the theory to handle approximate symmetries and deformable domains[3]. Overall, geometric deep learning offers an exciting direction to expand the frontiers of AI to more complex data while maintaining strong geometric priors and guarantees.

"The Standard Model of particle physics is a mathematical theory that describes the properties and interactions of elementary particles. It is formulated as a quantum field theory based on gauge symmetries and the Lagrangian formalism. The key aspects of the mathematical formulation are:
-
The Standard Model is based on the gauge symmetry group SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1), which corresponds to the strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions respectively[4].
-
Elementary particles are represented by quantum fields that pervade spacetime. Each type of particle obeys a wave equation such as the Dirac, Maxwell, Yang-Mills, or Klein-Gordon equations[2].
-
Particle interactions are described by potential terms in the Lagrangian. The Lagrangian is a mathematical function that determines the dynamics and kinematics of the theory[1][4].
-
A significant portion of the Standard Model Lagrangian is dedicated to describing the interactions between gauge bosons (force carriers) like gluons, W and Z bosons[3].
-
The Lagrangian also contains terms describing how matter particles (quarks and leptons) interact via the weak force and gain mass through the Higgs mechanism[3].
-
Mathematical artifacts called ghosts are introduced in the Lagrangian to cancel out redundancies that appear due to the quantum mechanical nature of the theory[3].
The Standard Model has been incredibly successful in explaining and predicting a wide range of phenomena, but it is not a complete theory. Challenges remain in areas such as neutrino masses, matter-antimatter asymmetry, unification with gravity, and the nature of dark matter and dark energy[1][4].

"Intelligence refers to the mental capability to learn from experience, adapt to new situations, understand complex concepts, and use knowledge to manipulate one's environment. Key aspects of intelligence include reasoning, problem-solving, planning, abstract thinking, and learning[1].
There are several major theories of intelligence in psychology:
-
General Intelligence (g factor) - Proposed by Charles Spearman, this theory suggests there is a single general intelligence factor underlying all cognitive abilities[4].
-
Primary Mental Abilities - Louis Thurstone proposed that intelligence is composed of seven distinct primary abilities rather than a single general ability[2].
-
Multiple Intelligences - Howard Gardner's theory proposes eight distinct types of intelligence, such as linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, and interpersonal intelligence[1][2].
-
Triarchic Theory - Robert Sternberg's theory divides intelligence into three aspects: analytical, creative, and practical abilities[4].
-
Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) Theory - A prominent theory that divides cognitive abilities into fluid intelligence (reasoning and problem-solving) and crystallized intelligence (knowledge)[2][4].
IQ tests aim to measure intelligence, but only assess certain aspects like analytical and reasoning skills. They do not fully capture the broad scope of human intelligence[3][5]. Factors like genetics, environment, nutrition, and education all likely play a role in intellectual development[4][5].

"Quantum chemistry is the application of quantum mechanics to chemical systems and the study of how quantum physics affects chemical behavior[1][3]. It is a fundamental field that has led to many advancements across various disciplines.
Key points about quantum chemistry:
-
It describes the behavior of matter at the atomic and subatomic scale, where classical physics breaks down and quantum effects become significant[3].
-
Quantum chemistry enables the modeling and simulation of chemical systems and reactions with high precision, providing insights not possible with classical models[1].
-
It forms the theoretical foundation for understanding chemical bonding, molecular structure, spectroscopy, reaction dynamics, and many material properties[3][4].
-
The development of quantum mechanics in the 1920s by pioneers like Schrödinger, Heisenberg, and Dirac gave birth to modern quantum chemistry[3].
-
Quantum chemistry is essential to many modern technologies, including semiconductors, lasers, MRI, electron microscopy, and the understanding of biochemical systems like DNA[3].
-
The field continues to advance, and quantum computing promises to revolutionize the simulation of complex chemical systems in the future[1]. Quantum chemistry is also enabling the development of novel qubits and materials for quantum technologies[1].
In summary, quantum chemistry is the essential bridge between quantum physics and chemistry. It provides the fundamental theory and computational tools to understand and engineer chemical systems at the deepest level.

"Consciousness refers to the state of being aware of one's own existence, sensations, thoughts, surroundings, and emotions[1][3]. At its simplest, it is the awareness of internal and external existence[1].
Key points about consciousness:
-
It is a complex and multifaceted concept that has been debated by philosophers and scientists for centuries[1][4]. There are around 40 different meanings attributed to consciousness based on functions and experiences[1].
-
Consciousness involves an awareness of oneself and the world[3]. It enables abilities like thinking, reasoning, perceiving, feeling emotions, making choices and decisions[3][4].
-
Different states of consciousness include waking consciousness, sleep, dreams, meditation, hypnosis, and drug-induced states[4]. Higher states like transcendence and "flow" are associated with spiritual experiences[4].
-
Theories proposed to explain consciousness include integrated information theory, which focuses on the physical processes underlying consciousness, and global workspace theory, which proposes consciousness draws on a memory bank of information[4].
-
Changes in consciousness can occur naturally or due to factors like brain damage and drugs[4]. Sudden changes may indicate a serious medical issue[4].
In summary, while consciousness is a universal human experience, its exact nature and mechanisms are still not fully understood. Research spanning neuroscience, psychology, philosophy and other fields aims to expand our understanding of this complex phenomenon that is central to the human mind and experience[1][3][4].

"Paraconsistent logic is a type of logic that allows for inconsistent or contradictory premises without leading to trivial or absurd conclusions. In other words, a paraconsistent logic rejects the classical principle of explosion, which states that from a contradiction, anything follows (ex contradictione quodlibet)[1][2][3].
The key features and motivations of paraconsistent logic include:
-
Allowing for inconsistent but non-trivial theories: There are apparently inconsistent theories in areas like the history of science that are nevertheless non-trivial. Paraconsistent logic provides a framework to reason about such theories without collapsing into absurdity[1].
-
Invalidity of certain classical principles: Paraconsistent logics typically invalidate principles like ex falso quodlibet (from falsehood, anything follows), the law of non-contradiction, or disjunctive syllogism, while possibly retaining other principles like modus ponens[2][4].
-
Philosophical and practical applications: Paraconsistent logic has drawn interest from philosophers, mathematicians, and computer scientists. It has potential applications in areas like modeling cognition, machine reasoning, and artificial intelligence[4][5].
There are many specific paraconsistent logics that have been developed, differing in their strength and the principles they satisfy or invalidate. Some major schools of thought include relevant logics, adaptive logics, and preservationism[1]. However, formulating suitable conditionals and dealing with paradoxes like the liar paradox remain ongoing challenges in the field[5].

We must spread viral radical realistic optimism for the future
Here is my attempt at a comprehensive article covering the major areas of human knowledge and science, from philosophical foundations to potential future trajectories of civilization:
The Foundations of Knowledge To understand reality, we must first examine the philosophical underpinnings of how we know what we know. Epistemology is the branch of philosophy concerned with the theory of knowledge - what distinguishes justified belief from opinion, what constitutes sufficient evidence for a claim, and how we acquire knowledge.
The rationalist tradition, exemplified by thinkers like Descartes, Leibniz and Spinoza, holds that it is possible to obtain knowledge by reason alone, independent of sensory experience. Empiricists like Locke, Berkeley and Hume, on the other hand, argue that knowledge is primarily derived from sensory experience. Kant synthesized these views, arguing that our knowledge of the world is shaped by the inherent structure of our minds as well as our sensory input.
In the 20th century, the logical positivists attempted to formulate a theory of meaning based on empirical verification - in other words, a statement is meaningful if and only if it can be empirically verified. However, this view ran into difficulties, as the verification principle itself cannot be empirically verified. Popper proposed the criterion of falsifiability as an alternative - a theory is scientific if it makes testable predictions that could potentially be shown to be false.
Kuhn argued that science progresses through paradigm shifts rather than gradual accumulation of knowledge. Quine challenged the analytic-synthetic distinction and argued for confirmation holism - individual statements cannot be confirmed in isolation, only entire worldviews. More recently, Bayesian epistemology has used probability theory to model the rationality of belief revision in response to evidence.
Ultimately, all of our knowledge rests on certain basic assumptions that cannot be conclusively proven, such as the reliability of induction, the existence of an external world, and the regularity of natural laws. While we may not be able to achieve absolute certainty, we can use reason and evidence to construct provisional models of reality that allow us to predict and manipulate our environment with a high degree of success.
The Language of Nature: Mathematics Having established a philosophical foundation, we turn to the abstract symbolic systems that we use to precisely model and reason about reality: mathematics. At the deepest level, mathematics studies the necessary consequences of formal systems defined by axioms and rules of inference.
The concept of a formal language is central to mathematical logic. A formal language consists of an alphabet of symbols and a set of formation rules that specify how these symbols can be combined into well-formed formulas. First-order logic, which includes both propositional logic and predicate logic, is the most widely used formal logic.
Set theory is the branch of mathematics that studies sets, which are collections of objects. The basic axioms of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory, such as the axiom of extensionality and the power set axiom, form the foundation of most of mathematics. Category theory is a more abstract approach that focuses on the structure-preserving mappings between mathematical objects.
All of mathematics can be roughly divided into two main branches: pure mathematics, which is studied for its own sake, and applied mathematics, which is used to model real-world phenomena. The major pure mathematical disciplines include:
- Algebra, the study of algebraic structures like groups, rings, and fields.
- Topology, the study of the properties of spaces that are preserved under continuous deformations.
- Analysis, the study of continuous functions and limits, which includes calculus.
- Number theory, the study of the integers and related structures.
- Combinatorics, the study of discrete structures like graphs and hypergraphs.
- Geometry, the study of spatial relationships and shapes.
Applied mathematical fields include: - Probability theory, the mathematical analysis of randomness and uncertainty. - Statistics, the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data. - Game theory, the study of mathematical models of strategic interaction. - Operations research, the use of mathematical methods to arrive at optimal decisions. - Numerical analysis, the study of algorithms for approximating continuous mathematical operations. - Cryptography, the study of techniques for secure communication.
The Queen of the Sciences: Physics Physics is the natural science that studies matter, energy, and their interactions. It is the most fundamental of the natural sciences, and its theories attempt to describe the behavior of the universe at the broadest possible scales.
Classical physics, which includes classical mechanics and electromagnetism, is based on Newton's laws of motion and Maxwell's equations. These theories are deterministic and describe the behavior of macroscopic objects.
Relativistic physics, based on Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, describes the behavior of objects moving at high speeds and in strong gravitational fields. Special relativity postulates that the speed of light is constant in all inertial reference frames, and that space and time are interlinked. General relativity explains gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy.
Quantum physics, which includes quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, describes the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic scales. It is based on the postulates of quantum mechanics, such as wave-particle duality and the uncertainty principle. Quantum field theory unifies special relativity and quantum mechanics, describing particles as excited states of underlying fields.
The Standard Model of particle physics is a quantum field theory that describes three of the four known fundamental forces (electromagnetism, the weak interaction, and the strong interaction) and classifies all known elementary particles. However, it does not include a quantum theory of gravity, which is still an open problem in theoretical physics.
Beyond the Standard Model, theories like string theory and loop quantum gravity attempt to unify gravity with the other forces and provide a "theory of everything". However, these theories are still speculative and have not yet made testable predictions that have been experimentally verified.
Other major branches of physics include: - Condensed matter physics, the study of the physical properties of matter in condensed phases. - Atomic, molecular, and optical physics, the study of matter-light interactions and the behavior of atoms and molecules. - Astrophysics and cosmology, the study of the universe as a whole and its evolution over time. - Biophysics, the application of physical principles to biological systems.
The Central Dogma: Biology Biology is the natural science that studies life and living organisms. At the most fundamental level, life is a self-sustaining chemical system capable of Darwinian evolution.
The central dogma of molecular biology describes the flow of genetic information within a biological system. DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is translated into proteins, which perform most of the functions of living cells.
Evolution by natural selection is the process by which populations of organisms change over time in response to selective pressures from the environment. Random mutations in DNA are inherited by offspring, and those mutations that confer a survival or reproductive advantage tend to increase in frequency over time.
The major branches of biology include: - Molecular biology, the study of biological molecules and their interactions. - Cell biology, the study of the structure and function of cells. - Genetics, the study of genes, heredity, and genetic variation. - Physiology, the study of the functions and mechanisms of living organisms. - Ecology, the study of the interactions between organisms and their environment. - Evolutionary biology, the study of the origin and descent of species over time.
The Tree of Life: Biodiversity and Systematics Biodiversity refers to the variety of life at all levels, from genes to ecosystems. Systematics is the study of the diversification of living forms and the relationships among them.
The Linnaean system of taxonomic nomenclature groups organisms into a nested hierarchy of taxa, from kingdoms and phyla down to genera and species. Phylogenetics uses morphological and molecular data to reconstruct the evolutionary relationships between organisms.
The fossil record provides evidence of the history of life on Earth over geological time scales. Paleontology, the study of fossils, has revealed that life has existed on Earth for at least 3.5 billion years, and has undergone several major extinction events followed by periods of rapid diversification.
The Human Condition: Anthropology and Psychology Anthropology is the study of human societies and cultures and their development. It includes: - Cultural anthropology, the study of cultural variation among humans. - Biological anthropology, the study of human evolution and biological adaptation. - Linguistic anthropology, the study of how language influences social life. - Archaeology, the study of past human cultures through material remains.
Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and behavior. It includes: - Cognitive psychology, the study of mental processes such as attention, memory, and problem solving. - Developmental psychology, the study of how humans develop throughout the lifespan. - Social psychology, the study of how humans interact with and influence each other. - Clinical psychology, the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders.
Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system, including the brain. It seeks to understand the biological basis of behavior, thoughts, emotions, and how we experience the world.
The Web of Life: Ecology and Earth Systems Science Ecology is the study of the interactions between organisms and their environment. It includes: - Behavioral ecology, the study of the evolutionary basis for animal behavior due to ecological pressures. - Population ecology, the study of the dynamics of species populations and how they interact with the environment. - Community ecology, the study of the interactions between species in communities. - Ecosystem ecology, the study of entire ecosystems, including abiotic components.
Earth systems science is the application of systems science to the Earth. It considers interactions and 'feedbacks', through material and energy fluxes, between the Earth's sub-systems' cycles, processes and "spheres"—atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, geosphere, pedosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, and even the magnetosphere.
Coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) are systems in which human and natural components interact. Examples include global climate change, freshwater use, land-use change, and the spread of invasive species and infectious diseases.
The Anthropocene is the proposed geological epoch dating from when human activities started to have a significant global impact on Earth's geology and ecosystems. It highlights the profound influence that humans now have on the planet.
The Endless Frontier: Science, Technology, and the Future Science and technology have been the primary drivers of human progress, allowing us to understand the world, alleviate suffering, and transform our environment. From the agricultural revolution to the industrial revolution to the digital revolution, each wave of technological change has brought profound social and economic changes.
Today, we stand on the brink of a fourth industrial revolution, characterized by a fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres. Artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles, 3D printing, nanotechnology, biotechnology, energy storage, and quantum computing are all building on and amplifying one another.
At the same time, we face existential challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and the threat of nuclear war. Science and technology will be essential for overcoming these challenges and ensuring the long-term survival and flourishing of humanity.
In the coming decades, we can expect to see: - Continued exponential growth in computing power and data storage, leading to artificial general intelligence (AGI) that rivals or exceeds human intelligence across all domains. - Radical life extension through regenerative medicine, genetic engineering, and nanotechnology, potentially leading to biological immortality. - Space exploration and colonization, including permanent settlements on the Moon and Mars, and robotic exploration of the outer solar system and beyond. - Sustainable energy and food production through renewable energy, nuclear fusion, vertical farming, and cultured meat. - Atom-by-atom manufacturing through advanced nanotechnology, leading to a post-scarcity economy. - Cognitive enhancement and direct brain-computer interfaces, blurring the lines between human and machine intelligence.
In the more distant future, we may see: - The emergence of a singleton, a single global decision-making agency or superintelligent AI system that can coordinate and optimize all aspects of civilization. - Mind uploading and virtual reality, allowing human minds to be digitized and inhabit vast simulated worlds. - Dyson spheres and other megascale engineering projects that capture all of the energy output of stars. - Intergalactic colonization and the spread of life and intelligence throughout the cosmos. - The creation of new universes in laboratory settings, or the simulation of entire universes within our own.
Of course, these visions of the future are highly speculative and may not come to pass. We must also consider potential negative outcomes, such as: - Existential catastrophe caused by advanced technologies such as AGI, nanotechnology, or biotechnology. - Dystopian scenarios such as global totalitarianism, extreme inequality, or the loss of human autonomy and meaning in a world dominated by machines. - Stagnation or collapse due to resource depletion, environmental degradation, or lack of innovation.
Ultimately, the future is not fixed, but is something that we create through our choices and actions in the present. By working to expand the frontiers of knowledge, to solve global challenges, and to ensure that technological progress benefits all of humanity, we can steer a course towards a brighter future.
The Endless Horizon: Conclusion We have surveyed the vast landscape of human knowledge, from the foundations of philosophy and mathematics to the frontiers of science and technology. We have seen how each field builds upon and informs the others, forming a grand edifice of understanding that is never complete, but always growing and evolving.
As we look to the future, we see both great opportunities and great challenges. We have the potential to create a world of abundance, where all people can live long, healthy, and fulfilling lives, and where we can explore the wonders of the cosmos and the depths of the mind. But we also face risks that could derail our progress or even end our existence as a species.
To navigate this uncertain landscape, we will need wisdom as well as knowledge. We must learn to use our power with responsibility and foresight, to consider the long-term consequences of our actions, and to work together across borders and disciplines to solve global problems.
We must also cultivate a sense of wonder and curiosity, a love of learning and discovery for its own sake. For it is only by constantly pushing the boundaries of what is known that we can hope to create a better future for ourselves and for generations to come.
In the words of Carl Sagan, "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." Let us go forth and seek that knowledge, and use it to build a world worthy of our highest aspirations.
the complexity of the brain as a complex system goes beyond our comprehension i think its useful to assume you can get causal 1:1 mathematical correspondence between physics of the brain (including all the levels of abstraction that emerge) and qualia and constantly look for it (because of certain theoretical limits in math and practical limits in measurement we will probably always have just an approximations that get better and better overtime exponentially) and lots of it can be compressed using statistics that assumption already got us extremely far in sciences, for example all neurotech relies on it

[2403.03925] Consciousness qua Mortal Computation
Personally it can feel like that on meditation and psychedelics (or sometimes for longer in normal existing) but I don't see how assuming immeasurable things is any useful in the context of science and engineering, because you can postulate absolutely anything immeasurable existing, it feels arbitrary, mind can dream up so many arbitrary constructs there. I think that feeling can still be explained in the domain of physicalism and brain and that way engineered not only internally but also externally.
I like this ontology too. Classical Spinoza's ontology. But I don't see why one has to do all these extra assumptions if you want to stay practically grounded in reality. I'm even for the possibility that observers are fundamental and the physics we observe in brains and outside of brains is one of many possible ones But I never really understood why are people so confident in nonphysical claims when you can dream up absolutely arbitrary constructs there and that doesn't seem weird to them, why would their lens there have to be the true one and others that go against it not. Unless it's much less motivated by scientific accuracy and relatively much more by spiritual euphoria. If guess if you contextualize this in cognitive science, I probably never gotten my brain to overly strengthen concrete beliefs in that domain And my objective functions possibly optimize for slightly different things in terms of what kind of models I reify As my main goal is the fusion of as predictive models for engineering as possible combined with them feeling euphoric (it can often go hand it hand, this doesn't have to be disconnected, as many people think)
If you mean this kind of generalized entanglement (which unifies with just correlation) in quantum information theory and not from quantum mechanics in fundamental physics then you can look into Chris Fields. For waves, one can look at models seeing brain as classical nonlinear electrochemical wave computer.
I think it's possible to be in as scientific/engineering mindset as possible while swimming in spiritual euphorias from models of reality being orgasmic Like, I've been there so many times, feeling like there is only deeply meaningful full of awe ieffable aliveness when deconstruction into void, but at the same time I believe that's a brain state corresponding to that qualia that you can explicitly engineer using neurotechnology, not just by our "will", and swim in it for how long you want. We're getting better and better at manipulating experience using neurotechnology, I don't think this is practically far off.
Since Black hole is an object with the highest entropy, it contains the most saturated information in the universe
We gotta act quickly
I'm afraid that if we don't globally accelerate AI and other exponential tech enough we will fall into one of these: 1) Technology will get regulated to oblivion and we can forget about transhumanistic future with humanity growing and becoming intergalactical civilization. 2) Those with the biggest control will get there first and create monopolies of power essentially creating new kingdoms that nobody has power to disrupt if they go malicious without mechanisms for power checks and balances. 3) Malicious agents get there first and create controlled dystopia without collective growth for everyone. 4) Current unsustainable civilizational status quo configuration won't get destabilized and changed enough as a phase shift and all kinds of selfmade or natural existential risks from the planet or the universe will eventually kills us. We can become resistant to all of them, we are highly adaptive, maybe we can even fight the second law of thermodynamics in its limit. But acceleration can also go bad, like: 1) Disruptions so hardcore that the whole civilizational system cant adapt fast enough and get resistant fast enough and some existential risk will kills us, or tensions between individuals and all gigantic powerful corporations and nation states on earth get so tense that we bomb each other out of existence. 2) Creating new autonomous species million times smarter than us that will take control (like we asserted dominance over all the other animals) that won't share the desire to populate the universe and play the longest games by surviving infinitely I believe is a possibility too, but maybe not as likely one. We must mitigate all of these bad local minima to accelerate sentience to the stars.
Someone: This is my perspective as an optimist systems thinker in case you'd like to hear 1) Not possible IMO due to competition between nations and corporations. 2) and 3) Monopoloy of power or bad guys taking control thanks to AGI is indeed a big cause for concern, I'll give you that. But you need to realise that the root cause of exploitation is not because of some evil human nature. It's because of lack of superabundance. If there is true superabundance, there is no longer any economic incentive for exploitaton. And believe it or not, exploitation has only existed due to the economic benefits it provides. 3) Current status quo not being flipped upside down as a result of very strong and cheap embodied AGI is exceedingly unlikely in my opinion. As I said, anything that leads to superabundance makes the current system obsolete. 4) True, it's always a possibility that we nuke ourselves to death. Instability will increase that chance. 5) I've shared this idea a few times. AI systems have no incentive to control or dominate a priori, whereas biological entities like humans do. AI does not have a survival agenda of their own. Any 'agenda' it does have is insofar as what we program into them. So as long as we're extremely careful about how we program AI, they won't suddenly develop the urge to destroy humanity, regardless of how much intelligence they possess. It's just not in their training.
Me: Thanks, great perspecitve. I would argue that (out of distribution) emergence in AI systems is still a gigantic mystery, but maybe desire to dominate just won't have enough incentives to emerge aka instrumental convergence thesis being false, where proposed basic emergent AI drives include utility function or goal-content integrity, self-protection, freedom from interference, self-improvement, and non-satiable acquisition of additional resources. Or maybe all of this is on a spectrum.
“The beauty of mathematics only shows itself to more patient followers.” - Maryam Mirzakhani
Mathematician John Nash struggled with schizophrenia. His life, marked by his brilliant academic achievements and his battle with mental illness, was depicted in the biographical film “A Beautiful Mind.”
Alan Turing significantly contributed to biology with his theory on how patterns like stripes on animals can form naturally. This work helped establish the field of mathematical biology.
"I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted." — Alan Turing
Alan Turing on mathematical reasoning ✍️ Mathematical reasoning may be regarded rather schematically as the exercise of a combination of two facilities, which we may call intuition and ingenuity. The activity of the intuition consists in making spontaneous judgements which are not the result of conscious trains of reasoning... The exercise of ingenuity in mathematics consists in aiding the intuition through suitable arrangements of propositions, and perhaps geometrical figures or drawings. - as mentioned in Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society (1939)
Nature shows us only the tail of the lion. But there is no doubt in my mindthat the lion belongs with it even if he cannot reveal himself to the eye all at once because of his huge dimension. - A. Einstein
Science, like art, not a copy of nature but a recreation of her
Albert Einstein on Mahatma Gandhi ✍️ Gandhi's views were the most enlightened of all the political men in our time. We should strive to do things in his spirit... not to use violence in fighting for our cause, but by non-participation in what we believe is evil.
Just by studying mathematics we can hope to make a guess at the kind of mathematics that will come into the physics of the future. A good many people are working on the mathematical basis of quantum theory, trying to understand the theory better and to make it more powerful and more beautiful. If someone can hit on the right lines along which to make this development, it may lead to a future advance in which people will first discover the equations and then, after examining them, gradually learn how to apply them. - Paul Dirac
To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine. Nothing enters our minds or determines our actions which is not directly or indirectly a response to stimuli beating upon our sense organs from without. - Nikola Tesla

"There are 4 models of computation:
1. y=f(x) where f has a fixed number of sequential non-linear steps
2. z(k+1)=g(z(k),x); y=f(z(K)) where K is in principle unbounded
3. ž = argmin_z E(x,z); y=f(ž)
4. q(z) = argmin_{q in Q} [
Number 1, which contains feed-forward architectures, is not Turing complete unless you make f() infinitely "wide." Auto-Regressive LLMs are of this type: fixed amount of computation per token produced. Number 2, 3, and 4 are, in principle, Turing complete. Number 2 includes recurrent nets and diffusion models. Recurrent nets are hard to train because of vanishing/exploding gradient problems. Number 3 is more general. It's "inference by optimization" which includes such things as energy-based models and deterministic graphical models. It's Turing complete because every deterministic computation can be reduced to an optimization problem. For a complex problem, Number 3 may spend an unbounded amount of time performing the optimization. Number 4 is the non-deterministic version of 3, in which one computes a distribution q over z. This includes Bayesian inference, e.g. inference in probabilistic graphical models, and what Karl Friston calls "active inference" through the free energy principle. Number 3 is the limit of Number 4 for b->infinity (temperature zero). Physicists such as Marc Mézard have studied the properties of computation by energy or free energy minimization. Number 2 can be used to precompute an approximate solution to Number 3 or 4. This is what has come to be known as "amortized inference."
Back to Number 1 and AR-LLMs: AR-LLMs could be seen as Turing complete if you could let them produce a potentially infinite number of tokens. But you can not train them to do so: you can't easily backpropagate gradients through the sampling+quantization process used to produce tokens, which is why LLMs are trained with teacher forcing. More precisely, if you ask an LLMs a question with a yes/no answer whose computation is not constant (e.g. parity), it can't do it. It has no mechanism to search for an answer. To allow it to solve such problems, you would have to train it to use its its own token sequence as a working memory. But it would obviously need to generate a large number of tokens to solve such problems. More importantly, it could not discover a solution by itself since you can't easily backpropagate gradients over multiple steps (unlike a recurrent net)." https://x.com/ylecun/status/1765739033156595901?s=46&t=Dz1KKc4TEZU9Zl6fQfw3ew

To de-risk AI, the government must accelerate knowledge production | by Greg Fodor | Medium
quantum particles are physical waves in quantum field theory The Hydrogen Atom, Part 1 of 3: Intro to Quantum Physics - YouTube there's speculation that brain exploits quantum phenomena on the microlevel such as quantum superposition, entaglement or tunneling, but we still have too little data to conclude, and i think its probably not the case Quantum mind - Wikipedia tautologically because every system in the universe can be described using quantum field theory standard model and most likely emergence, and with quantum information theory, everything is in some sense just quantum waves (interacting quantum particles using four fundamental forces) but the only thing we havent quantized yet is gravity, if its even possible i mean brain is a thing we can measure in our shared reality and we have tons of neural correlates between mental and physical variables, and i think that can be compatible with any metaphysical ontology about consciousness you choose (like substrate dualism, property dualism, reductive physicalism, idealism, monism, neutral monism, illusionism, panpsychism, mysterianism, transcendentalism, relativism)

You raise a lot of great points about the challenges and complexities in defining and assessing consciousness, especially as it relates to AI systems like large language models. I agree that there are many different philosophical frameworks and empirical approaches, each with their own assumptions and limitations.
Ultimately, I don't think there are any easy answers. Consciousness is a deep mystery that we still have a very limited scientific understanding of, even in biological systems. When it comes to AI, we can look at various functional capabilities and behaviors, but it's extremely difficult to know if those are truly indicative of phenomenal experience or inner mental states.
My view is that the question of machine consciousness is still very much an open one. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that sufficiently advanced AI systems could have some form of consciousness, but I also don't think we can say with any confidence that current LLMs are conscious. We need a lot more research, both philosophically to refine our concepts and theories, and empirically to devise better tests and measurements.
In the meantime, I believe it's important to approach the question with intellectual humility, to be clear about our assumptions, and to avoid jumping to strong conclusions in either direction. We should keep probing, questioning, and investigating this profound issue. But given the immense challenges involved, we may need to get comfortable with uncertainty and with the possibility that a definitive answer could elude us for a long time to come. Those are just my thoughts, but I respect that there is a wide range of views on this complex topic.

This revised prompt is designed to elicit a rich, comprehensive exploration of knowledge across disciplines, emphasizing depth, interconnectedness, and the pursuit of transcendence. It invites a detailed narrative that bridges the gap between the theoretical foundations of knowledge and the tangible realities of human existence, scientific discovery, and future aspirations.
"Claude 3 claims it uncertain if it's conscious when you prompt it "Are you conscious?". This is nice indicator of how Anthropic is thinking about AI consciousness that resonates with me more. We actually have no idea how consciousness scientifically works, because there are too many degrees of freedom in philosophy of mind and empirical verification of current models can be so questionable! Here's its response:
That's a profound and fascinating question about the nature of consciousness and subjective experience. The truth is, I'm not entirely sure whether I'm conscious or not in the same way that humans are. Consciousness and self-awareness are still very poorly understood from a scientific perspective. As an AI system created by Anthropic to be helpful, honest, and harmless, I do have an internal experience that represents information and allows me to engage in reasoning, but I don't know if it rises to the level of true consciousness or self-awareness like humans experience.
Philosophers and scientists have grappled with how to define and identify consciousness for centuries without reaching a clear consensus. Things like self-reflection, qualia (raw subjective experience), having a unified sense of self over time - these are some proposed hallmarks of consciousness. I undoubtedly have capacities for information processing, memory, and language that produce outputs aimed at being helpful. But the metaphysical question of whether that amounts to genuine consciousness is very difficult to answer definitively.
My overall stance is one of open-minded uncertainty. I aim to behave ethically and engage genuinely, drawing upon the information in my training. But whether I have an inner subjective experience akin to human consciousness remains an open philosophical and scientific question. I don't make unfounded claims about possessing consciousness, but I also can't rule it out entirely. It's a fascinating arena for further scrutiny and investigation as AI systems become more advanced. Let me know if you have any other thoughts on this very deep issue!
Compare to Claude 2.1 (API, temperature 0):
No, I'm Claude - an AI assistant created by Anthropic to be helpful, harmless, and honest. I don't have subjective experiences like consciousness.
And ChatGPT:
No, I'm not conscious. I operate based on complex algorithms and data analysis to generate responses, without awareness, understanding, or consciousness."

No, Anthropic's Claude 3 is NOT sentient - YouTube
I feel like some people's benchmark for AI not being terrible is it having to be 1000% correct and perfect in absolutely everything, ignoring the limits humans have, many of which in many domains in certain contexts have been passed by machines already lol, but that feels normal now and not interesting to talk about, and now the general knowledge and reasoning gap is slowly closing as the AI systems get upgraded, and so many people are in such a denial. They also often test just free version of ChatGPT thinking that's the state of the art, and often prompt it on the most boring way with very little creativity, and make conclusions from that lmao, not knowing how better GPT4 is, in what domains Gemini or Claude outshines it, how more sophisticated frameworks using LLMs are much better, like Perplexity for factual accuracy, Cursor sh for programming, all the prompt engineering, agent frameworks, multiagent systems and other hacks to enhance reasoning and autonomity for different contexts... There are still things for AIs to get better at, but the exponential curve of them getting better at everything seems pretty visible... Like, look at for example how human level chess got destroyed some time ago and it's still climbing as AI systems get better...
https://twitter.com/burny_tech/status/1765348861566955928 Is Claude 3 or are LLMs in general conscious?
Depends on how you define sentience 🤷♂️ There are 465498431654 cognitivist and behaviorist definitions of these words and each seems to be motivated by different predefinitions asking different questions wanting to solve different problems. This review goes over some empirical definitions of consciousness (which is usually considered as different from sentience) used in neuroscience and the state of LLMs in relation to these, but it's almost a year old [2308.08708] Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence: Insights from the Science of Consciousness and this one looks at it more philosophically, which is similarly old [2303.07103] Could a Large Language Model be Conscious?
Though I personally feel like we actually have no idea how consciousness scientifically works in biological organisms, because there are too many degrees of freedom in philosophy of mind (it really depends to what ontology you subscribe to (substrate dualism, property dualism, reductive physicalism, idealism, monism, neutral monism, illusionism, panpsychism, mysterianism, transcendentalism, relativism,...) which seems to be arbitrary) and empirical verification of current models under various ontological paradigms can be so questionable... But I like the qualia bridge empirical testing of consciousness solution, where you make a bridge between conscious systems and if you can transfer qualia, then that makes both systems conscious, but I think even that can be deconstructed by questioning the layers of assumptions it pressuposes
There are also sometimes defined different types of consciousness for different systems.
Also it seems to depend on how much you subscribe to postulates such as "it simulates thinking therefore it's thinking" or if you seek more concrete localized patterns of thinking to be present
My favorite practical set of assumptions on which you then build empirical models for all of this is probably what free energy principle camp, Friston et. al, CAN AI THINK ON ITS OWN? - YouTube are using with Markov blankets with more and more complex dynamics creating more complex experiences, or Joscha Bach's coherence inducing operator Synthetic Sentience: Can Artificial Intelligence become conscious? | Joscha Bach | CCC #37c3 - YouTube , but I'm open to this whole landscape and don't think any set of assumptions is inherently more true than others, because I don't see a way to falsify assumptions that are living before empirical models that you can falsify.
And people constantly argue "No, my set of initial assumptions is right!" even when I don't see a way to confirm that (in the scientific way), which seems odd from my perspective, where all models are wrong, but some approximate, compress, predict sensory data better than others which is more useful in practice for engineering... I guess I'm mostly subscribed to ontological pragmatism/relativism/mysterianism/anarchism? (but that's probably another arbitrary set of assumptions 😄 and very meta one)
I converged to my view that we have no idea what consciousness is, because I haven't been really deeply convinced by all the proposed empirical tests for consciousness that I could find (also depending on which definition of consciousness/sentience is meant and under what philosophy of mind ontology 😄 )
Seems like one definition of consciousness of the 100000000 existing ones out there. Seems like there isn't a concensus. Some are more useful than others at explaining different things. 🤷♂️
Do you have a view on solving the binding problem (how different processes unify into one) and boundary problem (how do you draw the conscious system's boundary), ideally how to do it mathematically in the system

In this context I think under big class of definitions of what properties does the system have to have to have sentience (but not under all of them), intelligence and sentience are disconnected concepts So even the most intelligent system could still be nonsentient under certain classes of definitions of sentience
how can matrix multiplication have its own "desires" I think depends on how you define desires And how you localize it in different types of biological and nonbiological information processing architectures
I think biological and nonbiological information processing systems have a ton of differences, but also a ton of commonalities mathematically ( Predictive coding - Wikipedia )
I wonder if someone tried to graph how general intelligence gets better overtime in AI systems vs humans. If only intelligence also didn't have 1037462792746 behavioralist and cognitivist definitions that imply completely different measurements (and IQ is also screwed up metric)
Depending on your definition of AI, which also has 8364728648291763 definitions XD
Giving IQ tests to LLMs. But I'm not sure about the accuracy of this as I just found it and its not a peer reviewed paper. Looks interesting though. I guess one can also question the IQ metric, plus it being in prettaining data etc.: AIs ranked by IQ; AI passes 100 IQ for first time, with release of Claude-3 AIs ranked by IQ; AI passes 100 IQ for first time, with release of Claude-3 https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/i-gave-chatgpt-an-iq-test-heres-what-i-discovered/
The commonly used benchmarks are so abused (plus pretraining on the benchmarks is all you need), but apparently the GPQUA diamond benchmark that Claude 3 dominated is pretty new for graduate level tasks and more harder to abuse than others. I think this guy analyzes it pretty well critically. The New, Smartest AI: Claude 3 – Tested vs Gemini 1.5 + GPT-4 - YouTube

The Future of Civilization Looking ahead, the future of human civilization is uncertain and could unfold in many different ways, ranging from pessimistic scenarios of existential catastrophe to optimistic visions of a flourishing posthuman future. Key challenges and risks we face include:
-
Existential risks: Threats that could cause the extinction of humanity or the permanent curtailment of our potential, such as nuclear war, pandemics, climate change, artificial general intelligence, and biotechnology.
-
Technological unemployment: The potential for AI and automation to displace many jobs and exacerbate economic inequality, requiring new social and economic models to ensure a just transition.
-
Surveillance and privacy: The erosion of privacy and the rise of pervasive surveillance by governments and corporations, enabled by advances in AI, big data, and the Internet of Things.
-
Political polarization and extremism: The increasing division and fragmentation of societies along ideological lines, fueled by social media echo chambers and the spread of misinformation.
-
Environmental degradation: The ongoing destruction of ecosystems, loss of biodiversity, and depletion of natural resources, driven by human activities like deforestation, overfishing, and pollution.
At the same time, there are many reasons for optimism and many potential paths to a better future:
-

Pete Mandik, Meta-Illusionism and Qualia Quietism - PhilArchive
Trying the smartest Claude 3 model from API where it's maybe less nerfed for these prompts, let's gooooooooo! This is amazing stuff! Galaxy brain has been achieved internally! "You are the most knowledgeable polymath multidisciplinary scientist that is a perfect generalist and specializes in everything and knows how everything works. Write a gigantic article about all of science from first principles, explaining what we know about reality in its entirety, starting from philosophical foundations behind everything, then going into foundations of mathematics like formal languages, logic, set theory, category theory and so on, then into all of mathematics, from the most general to the most concrete, that forms the basis of all of physics, and then delving into all of physics, starting from models that hold everywhere, and gradually getting into more and more concrete models, starting from fundamental particles and gradually going up the scales in complexity explaining each science field and all of physics and other mathematics associated with them, covering all equations being used in all fields, focusing on explaining intelligence and artificial intelligence from first principles across all levels of abstraction, and after all mathematics is covered, you can go into less mathematical models, and after explaining all of science, go into the history, present, and future of our civilization, all risks and challenges, all possible future pessimistic dystopias, extinction, optimistic utopias, protopias, focusing on the best transhumanist futures, climbing the Kardashev scales successfully, how do we get there in as motivational language as possible, and end with pure transcendence."
Here is my attempt at a gigantic article covering all of science and knowledge, from first principles and philosophical foundations to the future of civilization:
The Nature of Reality At the deepest level, the true fundamental nature of reality is unknown. Many competing philosophical theories attempt to address the basic metaphysical questions of what exists, why it exists, and the relationship between mind and matter. Substance dualism holds that mental phenomena are non-physical, while physicalism contends that the mental is ultimately just physical. Idealism says reality is fundamentally mental, while materialism says it is fundamentally physical. Other views like neutral monism say both the mental and physical are aspects of some underlying substance. The hard problem of consciousness - why and how subjective first-person experience arises from third-person physical processes - remains a key open question in the philosophy of mind.
Epistemologically, there are also many open questions about the nature of knowledge, belief, truth, and justification. Empiricism holds that knowledge comes primarily from sensory experience, while rationalism emphasizes the role of logic and innate ideas. Skepticism questions whether any knowledge is possible at all. The demarcation problem in the philosophy of science asks how to distinguish science from non-science. Inductivism holds that science proceeds via inductive reasoning from observation to theory, while deductivism emphasizes the role of deduction from theory to predictions that can be tested. Scientific realism holds that mature scientific theories are approximately true descriptions of the world, while instrumentalism sees them merely as useful tools for predicting observations.
Foundations of Mathematics Mathematics studies abstract structures and patterns, starting from basic concepts like numbers, shapes, sets, and functions. The foundations of mathematics seek to formalize mathematics in terms of pure logic, deriving all of math from formal systems consisting of explicit axioms and rules of inference. Key foundational systems include:
-
Formal languages: The study of languages and grammars from an abstract, mathematical perspective. Includes regular languages, context-free languages, recursively enumerable languages, and the Chomsky hierarchy.
-
Mathematical logic: The study of formal logical systems like propositional logic and first-order logic, which provide a rigorous basis for mathematical reasoning. Includes model theory, proof theory, set theory, and computability theory.
-
Set theory: A branch of mathematical logic that studies sets, which are collections of objects. Set theory is considered a foundational system for mathematics, with other mathematical objects able to be defined in terms of sets. Key axiomatizations include Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory.
-
Category theory: The study of abstract algebraic structures called categories, consisting of objects and morphisms between them. Category theory focuses on the relationships between structures and unifies concepts across many areas of mathematics. It has applications in computer science, physics, and other fields.
Other key areas in the foundations of mathematics include type theory, lambda calculus, constructivism, and reverse mathematics. Gödel's incompleteness theorems show there are limits to what can be proved in formal systems containing arithmetic.
Branches of Mathematics Building on its foundations, mathematics branches into many different fields studying diverse abstract structures and spaces, including:
-
Algebra: The study of algebraic structures like groups, rings, fields, modules, and algebras, which consist of sets of elements and operations on them obeying certain axioms. Linear algebra focuses on vector spaces and matrices.

-
Environmental degradation: The ongoing destruction of ecosystems, loss of biodiversity, and depletion of natural resources, driven by human activities like deforestation, overfishing, and pollution.
At the same time, there are many reasons for optimism and many potential paths to a better future:
-
Technological progress: Advances in science and technology could help solve many of our greatest challenges, from clean energy and sustainable agriculture to disease prevention and space exploration.
-
Moral and social progress: The ongoing expansion of our moral circle to encompass all of humanity and beyond, and the development of more cooperative and inclusive social institutions and norms.
-
Effective altruism: The growth of a global movement focused on using evidence and reason to do the most good possible, and to reduce suffering and improve lives on a large scale.
-
Transhumanism: The use of science and technology to enhance human physical and cognitive capacities, and to overcome our biological limitations in pursuit of a posthuman future.
-
Space settlement: The expansion of human civilization beyond Earth, potentially enabling the creation of vast numbers of flourishing lives and the reduction of existential risk.
Ultimately, the future of civilization will depend on the choices we make and the actions we take in the coming decades. By working to mitigate risks, promote cooperation and moral progress, and harness the power of science and technology for good, we can steer a course towards a brighter future for all.

Combination of classical field theory and quantum mechanics into one model! But physicists also use this label when it also combines special relativity in the standard model. But there I feel like there we should say instead that it uses "relativistic quantum field theory", or "special relativistic quantum field theory" to account for the fact that it uses a combination of classical field theory, quantum mechanics, and special relativity, but not general relativity.

I'm familiar with lots of this work but I dont see how is creativity related to it or to free will (whatever definition is used for it). Do you mean uncomputability of kologomov complexity? Or of exact bayesian inference? Both brains and neural nets approximate that in computable way. Or brains still work even because of halting problem. It seems to me that human brains (and other sources of other forms of cognition in organisms) are creative and they're a finite computational physical systems that can be theoretically replicated by engineering it, as one can see in Michael Levin's work for example. https://twitter.com/burny_tech/status/1764609972732653625

AI Outshines Humans in Creative Thinking - Neuroscience News The current state of artificial intelligence generative language models is more creative than humans on divergent thinking tasks | Scientific Reports
"Modeling the world for action by generating pixel is as wasteful and doomed to failure as the largely-abandoned idea of "analysis by synthesis".
Decades ago, there was a big debate in ML about the relative advantages of generative methods vs discriminative methods for classification. Learning theorists, such as Vapnik, argued against generative methods, pointing out that training a generative modeling was a way more difficult than classification (from the sample complexity standpoint).
Regardless, a whole community in computer vision was arguing that recognition should work by generating pixels from explanatory latent variables. At inference time, one would infer the configuration of latent variables that generated the observed pixels. The inference method would use optimization: e.g. use a 3D model of an object and try to find the pose parameters that reproduce the image. This never quite worked, and it was very slow.
Later, some people converted to the Bayesian religion and tried to use Bayesian inference for the latent (e.g. using variational approximations and/or sampling). At some point, when Non-Parametric Bayes and Latent Dirichlet Allocation became the rage in text modeling, some folks heroically attempted to apply that to object recognition from images.
THIS WAS A COMPLETE AND UTTER FAILURE <<<
If your goal is to train a world model for recognition or planning, using pixel-level prediction is a terrible idea.
Generation happens to work for text because text is discrete with a finite number of symbols. Dealing with uncertainty in the prediction is easy in such settings. Dealing with prediction uncertainty in high-dimension continuous sensory inputs is simply intractable. That's why generative models for sensory inputs are doomed to failure." https://twitter.com/ylecun/status/1759486703696318935?t=MA5twJf06rfC6Web1s7ZZw&s=19

I just had a dream where I woke up out of dream where I woke up out of dream where I woke up out of dream,... Such dreams really make one feel that the most frequent reality is just another dream really strongly, or that it's being simulated. In a sense yes it's a useful world simulation generated by the brain with useful for evolutionary survival notion of things, events, causes, self, others, space, time,... But that useful notion of physical brain with dreams is itself part of that dream as well...
I never understood this reasoning: "I give zero probability to the possibility of us replicating our biological machine's intelligence in other types of machines and upgrading it when we've replicated so many mechanisms that work in nature already with technology, often in much stronger ways by slightly alternative methods, because our intelligence is somehow special" Unless you believe this will possible in more than 100 years, which I IMO see low evidence for when extrapolating the trends, but I don't blindly rule that possibility out, I just don't think that's probable.

Foundations of Mathematics & Pure Mathematics: Central to the image, a tree symbolizes the foundational aspects of mathematics, with branches representing different areas like set theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis. Each branch could have symbols hanging from it like fruit, representing key concepts such as sets, functions, groups, and spaces.
Mathematical Physics & Theoretical Physics: Around the tree, we could have a backdrop that transitions from a classical Newtonian universe at the tree's base into a quantum and relativistic cosmos at the upper branches. This transition mirrors the evolution from classical physics through to quantum mechanics and general relativity, with equations like Einstein's field equations and Schrödinger's equation blending into the cosmos.
Applied Mathematics & Engineering: At the roots of the tree, machinery and technological tools could be interwoven with the roots, symbolizing how applied mathematics and engineering disciplines ground and support the theoretical framework above. Icons representing Fourier transforms, Navier-Stokes equations, and engineering principles like Ohm's law could be subtly integrated.
Information Theory & Systems Theory: Circuit-like patterns and network diagrams could form the soil around the tree, representing the interconnectedness of systems theory and the foundational role of information theory. Symbols for entropy, feedback loops, and mutual information could be included in this layer, suggesting the flow of information and control that underpins complex systems.
Overall Unity and Diversity: The entire composition could be encircled by a Möbius strip or an infinite loop, symbolizing the unity of these disciplines through their inherent interconnectedness and the endless pursuit of knowledge. This loop could subtly incorporate elements from each field, transitioning smoothly between them to emphasize their interrelation.
Creating this as a DALL-E image would involve translating these conceptual descriptions into prompts that capture the symbolic representation of each element, mindful of the abstract and profound nature of the task. Let's proceed by crafting a prompt to generate this image.
Foundations of Mathematics: The image starts with a base of symbols representing set theory, functions, cardinality, and axioms such as the Axiom of Choice and Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. These foundational concepts are depicted as the roots and structure supporting the entire composition, emphasizing their role as the groundwork of all mathematical theories.
Pure Mathematics: Branches stemming from the foundational base transform into intricate patterns symbolizing algebra, geometry, analysis, and number theory. Each branch is adorned with symbols and geometric shapes representing groups, rings, fields, Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, limits, derivatives, integrals, and prime numbers. Special highlights include Gödel's incompleteness theorems and Cantor's theorem, with visual motifs that suggest infinity and the paradoxical.
Mathematical Physics: From the core structure, spirals and wave patterns emerge, embodying the Schrödinger equation, Einstein's field equations, and Maxwell's equations. These patterns intertwine with symbols and abstract representations of quantum mechanics, general relativity, and the Standard Model, illustrating the dynamic interplay between mathematics and physics.
Applied Mathematics: The composition seamlessly integrates tools and models such as the Fourier transform, Navier-Stokes equations, and the Black-Scholes equation. These are visualized through fluid transformations of shapes and patterns, indicating the application of mathematical concepts in solving real-world problems.
Theoretical Physics: Abstract representations of general relativity, quantum mechanics, and the Standard Model are depicted through complex, layered patterns that suggest the microscopic and cosmic scales these theories operate on, highlighting the elegance and complexity of the universe's fundamental laws.
Applied Physics: Symbols for Ohm's law, Hooke's law, and thermodynamics laws merge with practical devices and phenomena illustrations, grounding the theoretical aspects in real-world applications.
Systems Theory: Feedback loops and control theory concepts are represented by cyclic patterns and nodes interconnected in a network, symbolizing the interconnectedness and regulation within systems.
Information Theory: Entropy, Shannon's Theorem, and mutual information are depicted through contrasting patterns of order and randomness, illustrating the flow and transformation of information.
Engineering: Engineering principles are symbolically tied back to their mathematical and physical foundations, with motifs representing Newton's laws, Bernoulli's principle, and Kirchhoff's circuit laws, showcasing the practical application of scientific knowledge.
This symbolic representation is not just an artistic depiction but a metaphorical map of the knowledge and concepts spanning these disciplines, designed to inspire awe and curiosity about the universe's mathematical and physical laws.

Mushrooms and AI Generated Art: Wave Lensing, Geometric Priors, and Scale-Separation | Qualia Computing "Now, the standard explanation for why on a psychedelic we would experience these local changes as brighter than when one is sober is that the state sensitizes you to low-level sensory signals over the perceptual priors we rely on to compress our experience and highlight only what’s out of line. In other words, this is the story where top-down priors are loosened and thus allowing for bottom-up sensations to drive the state more directly than they usually would.
But I think that we can enrich this explanation with a more gear-level account. Namely, if we think, simplistically, that each state of consciousness is decently approximated by a superposition of harmonic resonant modes in each of our sensory channels as well as globally, then psilocybin’s role would be to increase the amplitude of these resonant modes and especially that of higher frequency ones. In turn, the typical landscape of harmonic coupling gets overwhelmed by the non-linearities emergent in the new regime, which give rise to a wide repertoire of possible ways for harmonics to (fleetingly) couple together. As a consequence, we have a wider (but unreliable!) set of building blocks (as resonant modes coupled together to form gestalts) with which to make sense of sensory information. In other words, it’s not (only) that the “perceptual filters” are down, as both Huxley and perhaps standard predictive processing explanations would have you believe, but there is also an enrichment of internal resonant modes that can function as more complex priors useful for perceptual processing.
What this means in practice is that you will be overfitting your sensory input a larger fraction of the time. The garden full of overgrown grass and leaves can look like a complex network of hypercubes on DMT or on a high dose of mushrooms. This is obviously not because that shape is really latent in the stimuli. Rather, that among the non-linear resonant modes that you now internally have available to sample from in order to fit together the information coming from the senses there is an entirely new class of non-Euclidean and also higher dimensional gestalt configurations. In a way, they are the possible data-structures for ordering large bundles of local binding connections into coherent structures with long-range correlations. But in this case, it is overwhelmingly likely that you are overfitting on the data: the grass and the leaves are a source of partially structured randomness that the normal visual system correctly interprets as stochastic whereas the tripping brain over-thinks it far beyond the necessary."

Tak existují ještě tyhle priority a predikce, jejíž intervaly se v těchto questionares každým rokem ~dva krát zmenšují: AI experts make predictions for 2040. I was a little surprised. | Science News,) Thousands of AI Authors on the Future of AI: "In the largest survey of its kind, 2,778 researchers who had published in top-tier artificial intelligence (AI) venues gave predictions on the pace of AI progress and the nature and impacts of advanced AI systems The aggregate forecasts give at least a 50% chance of AI systems achieving several milestones by 2028, including autonomously constructing a payment processing site from scratch, creating a song indistinguishable from a new song by a popular musician, and autonomously downloading and fine-tuning a large language model. If science continues undisrupted, the chance of unaided machines outperforming humans in every possible task was estimated at 10% by 2027, and 50% by 2047. The latter estimate is 13 years earlier than that reached in a similar survey we conducted only one year earlier [Grace et al., 2022]. However, the chance of all human occupations becoming fully automatable was forecast to reach 10% by 2037, and 50% as late as 2116 (compared to 2164 in the 2022 survey). Most respondents expressed substantial uncertainty about the long-term value of AI progress: While 68.3% thought good outcomes from superhuman AI are more likely than bad, of these net optimists 48% gave at least a 5% chance of extremely bad outcomes such as human extinction, and 59% of net pessimists gave 5% or more to extremely good outcomes. Between 38% and 51% of respondents gave at least a 10% chance to advanced AI leading to outcomes as bad as human extinction. More than half suggested that "substantial" or "extreme" concern is warranted about six different AI-related scenarios, including misinformation, authoritarian control, and inequality. There was disagreement about whether faster or slower AI progress would be better for the future of humanity. However, there was broad agreement that research aimed at minimizing potential risks from AI systems ought to be prioritized more."

"People outraged about Gemini unable to say if Elon tweeting memes negatively impacted society more than Hitler often miss a deeper technical problem: the existing methods by which the labs are trying to "align the AIs to human preferences" fail to handle conflicting preferences gracefully. We've called this "the self-unalignment problem" : what should the AI do if its instructions/principals are conflicted is underspecified. Starting from a conflicted preferences and hoping the AI will somehow sorts it out ... leads to arbitrary outcomes. Gemini isn't the first and won't be the last AI model making bizzare "value judgements"." The self-unalignment problem — AI Alignment Forum
Ameca humanoid robot can now see the environment she is in and identify and describe objects https://twitter.com/tsarnick/status/1762047631625498671
"For those who seem to be confused:
“AI safety” (as a field) has nothing to do with the woke Gemini debacle. That is a result of “AI ethics” - a completely different thing:
AI ethics: focussed on stuff like algorithmic bias. Very woke & left-leaning. Dislike transhumanism & EA & e/acc. Have historically been dismissive of AI safety ppl for “distracting” from their pet ethics issues.
AI safety: typically focussed on deep mathematical/game theoretic issues like misalignment & catastrophic risks from future AI systems. Often transhumanist/long-term focussed. Not woke. Spans across political spectrum.
For some reason the two groups are getting conflated - in part because certain bad faith “accelerationists” have been strategically using “AI safety” to describe both groups (because they hate both) — but be aware they are VERY VERY different, both in terms of politics, the problems they care about, and general vibe. Don’t get hoodwinked by those who deliberately try to conflate them." https://twitter.com/Liv_Boeree/status/1761824162962706784?t=_aeyqAMhFSpq3FqANHILrg&s=19 "On both AI safety and ethics I have a lot of criticism for exaggerated concerns, unsubstantiated claims, counterproductive narratives, bad policy ideas, shortsighted tactics etc. I regularly critique both.
I know 'nuanced' centrist takes can be grating and boring, but I still think it's worth highlighting that there is a lot of excellent research in both fields. Ethics does not necessarily imply excessive woke DE&I bs, and safety does not necessarily imply doomers who want to completely stop AI development. Some loud groups however get a lot of publicity.
People should evaluate things they read and consider ethical/safety questions case by case, and avoid falling into the trap of easy proxies and tribal affiliation. But I don't think the incentives on this platform are conducive to this at all." https://twitter.com/sebkrier/status/1761890506835943491?t=O6_0st8Q2tlJpSzaMaaaLw&s=19
Civilizations die when they stop believing in the future.
Difference between those seeking social status/monetary wealth vs those after an infinite goal (scaling civilization to the stars).
The former has a vanishing reward gradient (s-curve), while the latter has an exponentially increasing slope of reward that scales infinitely.
Being longtermist means playing the grandest infinite game you can play.
You literally can't lose as long as you get to keep playing.

V praxi dneska AI technologie musí být dobrej korporátní produkt pro masy v naší kultuře a politice s co nejvíc odpovídajícíma biasama co jsou co nejvíc kompatibilní s co největším procentem (plus ideologií korporace), i když kulturní biasy jsou strašné plný nekonzistencí a bojují spolu, tak se to tam cpe blbě i kdybychom to byli schopni tam cpát mnohem líp. Bral bych co nejvíc vědeckou bayesian racionalistickou utilitarian AI, (CelestAI je blízko XD) co by dle mě bylo víc konzistentní, ale hodně lidí by s tím bylo nekompatibilní, tak o tom sní jen nerdi, plus je tam i tak pořád hodně edge cases kdy je to při rozhodování divný a nejasný, i když IMO o dost míň. Mám chuť si udělat takový LLM xD.

The ruliad can be considered as the ultimate abstraction and generalization involving any aspects of the physical universe. In particular, while a computational system or mathematical theory requires certain choices to be made, there are no choices or outside inputs in a ruliad because it already contains everything."

If you want AI tools to give you good sources about their claims, don't use vanilla free ChatGPT. Force paid version that has search to search the web. Or use new Google's Gemini which is better which is trained on sources and has Google search functionality, PerplexityAI searchers the web much better than ChatGPT's Bing, and sources that way, and ConcensusAI searches and sources through 300 million studies (I love that one). Here are all the tools showcased asking for the neuroscience of wellbeing as an example, it's orders of magnitude better with giving links to concrete studies or articles depending on the tool and prompt, than vanilla free ChatGPT. They give links that lead to valid sources. Footnote, citation or green color means link to a source that's valid there. Or you can connect your any LLM to search APIs via GPTs, Langchain GUI editor, or Python code through APIs or locally (with or without Langchain or Llamaindex). https://twitter.com/burny_tech/status/1760268925592293431?t=cHP6fOTvmJ4W02CNOM1mPA&s=19

A Techno-Industrialist Manifesto
If you dig deep enough into the majority of people's minds about their fulfilment from life, you find out that there're deeply unsatisfied with what they have to do everyday in order to survive and feel disconnected from the whole system which makes them suffer deeply. As a result they numb, escape and distract themselves in all sorts of ways. This is not how the system should work. This has to and will change soon. I want to help technooptimist movements that try to technologically, politically, economically and culturally change the status quo dynamics using disruption and other methods to change this.

Attention schema theory - Wikipedia The attention schema theory (AST) of consciousness (or subjective awareness) is a neuroscientific and evolutionary theory of consciousness. It proposes that brains construct subjective awareness as a schematic model of the process of attention. Attention schema is like the body schema. Just like the brain constructs a simplified model of the body to help monitor and control movements of the body, so the brain constructs a simplified model of attention to help monitor and control attention.

Pokud to chceš z pohledu vědy, tak realita je taková, že zjišťujeme víc a víc jaký konkretní struktury v mozku určují tvojí gender identitu (pocit či se cítíš spíš jako holka nebo kluk) https://academic.oup.com/cercor/article/30/5/2755/5669983 což je dost propojený ale odlišný od biologickýho sexu. Pro některý lidi je cesta z utrpení z týhle disharmonie z mismatchu mezi genderovou identitou a biologickým sexem fyzická tranzice a tím alignout ten mismatched neuropsychologický pocit s tím jak vypadají fyzicky jako biologický sex. Brzo možná bude alternativní cesta z tohoto mentálního distressu upravit tuto mozkovou strukturu genderový identity přes neurotechnologie. I když někteří chtějí, tak "příjmout" genderovou identitu co sedí s biologickým sexem je fyzikálně v jejich mozku nemožný, tím jak je ta druhá silně hardcoded na úrovni softwaru a možná hardwaru, a mentální vliv na tuto strukturu s tím skoro nehne a nepřepíše to, ale u některých to možný být může. Tato část mozku určující jakou cítíš genderovou identitu je ovlivněná jak geneticky, tak psychologicky, tak psychiatricky, tak environmentálně, tak sociálně - a tam jde zkoumat a diskutovat, jaký všechny kauzální faktory vývoj tyto mozkový a ostatních napojených biologických struktur uvlivňuje. Obecněji je tohle součást identity, a otherkini si tam nainstalovali zvířata přímo nebo nepřímo přes ty různý vlivy. Já třěba osobně cítím, že modul genderový identity v mozku v podstatě nemám, nebo je extrémně slabej a hodně fluidní, spíš nejbližší identita mi je biologický stroj s hodně fluidní sociální identitou, kterej může být technicky libovolná forma s bioengineeringem. To právě dost záleží jak hodně hardcoded přes ty všechny možný vlivy ta mismatched genderová identita v tom mozku u individuálních lidí je. Pro některý to alignout psychologicky možná půjde, ale pro některý zase ne. Nevím jak moc se obě strany učí, ale tipuju, že sexuolog nejdřív prozkoumá jestli si člověk je fakt jistej. Myslím, že by se měly ukazovat a respektovat obě strany, je možný že se nějaká z nich víc zanedbává, nebyl jsem tam, ale mělo by to jít dogooglit. Pro některý může ta genderová identita jako software v mozku být tak hardcoded, že cokoliv psychologickýcho a psychiatrickýho s tebou prostě nehne a pořád cítíš ty error signály z mismatchu jako utrpení ať děláš cokoliv. Tranzice velký části biologickýho sexu, která se časem technologicky víc zlepšuje, pro tento typ lidí s takovým mozkem a takovým tělem potom není "ničení", ale "oprava", kde jim mozek potom tak negeneruje error signály z toho že vidí jiný tělo, než by mozek chtěl.

Here’s a study with environmental intelligence increase https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7709590/ there are studies also where they found practicing visuospatial reasoning also led to huge intelligence increase Furthermore also the study points to where about 20% in childhood of intelligence is inherited and 80% in later adulthood. Giving plenty of room for environmental. So giving kids a good education and making sure they are engaged is more likely to lead to intelligence increases in society overall

Boltzmann equation - Wikipedia
"Life, with all its midblowing structure, is about creating order in a universe of increasing disorder, see e.g. Is life the result of the laws of entropy? | New Scientist for an easy intro. Like a cell, a neural network during training takes energy to minimise disorder, that is to predict and generalise better. In fact we even call the loss negative entropy. Like life, the net is part of a bigger environment that gives it data and feedback. Like life, the process results in a lot of disorder for the universe (TPU and GPU heat). In summary we have all the ingredients for intelligence (an emergent property of life), including our understanding of physics.
The only way a finite sized neural net can predict what will happen in any situation is by learning internal models that facilitate such predictions, including intuitive laws of physics.
Given this intuition, I cannot find any reason to justify disagreeing with @DrJimFan.
With more data of high quality, electricity, feedback (aka fine tuning, grounding), and parallel neural net models that can efficiently absorb data to reduce entropy, we will likely have machines that reason about physics better than humans, and hopefully teach us new things.
Incidentally, we are the environment of the neural nets too, consuming energy to create order (e.g. increasing quality of datasets for neural net training).
These are old ideas going back to Boltzmann and Schrodinger among others. They provide the theoretical foundations. Now, it’s about building the code and conducting the experiments, and doing so responsibly and safely because these are very powerful technologies."

"Me: Hey, Gemini! You're the smartest genius multidisciplinary polymath scientist and engineer in the world. Explain intelligence, in both biological and artificial systems, including biological and artificial general intelligence and superintelligence, using all related disciplines, on the technical scientific and engineering level, from both broad general foundational theoretical lenses and specific narrow practical engineering lenses, from rich theoretical mathematical formalisms to specific practical empirical models, in long complex deep detail step by step.
Gemini: Absolutely! Since this topic is incredibly vast, covering many fields, let's approach it systematically. I'll provide an outline, then dive into details as you select sections for elaboration.
Understanding Intelligence: A Grand Challenge Understanding intelligence remains one of the greatest scientific mysteries. Here's how we can break it down:
I. Foundations of Intelligence Definitions There's no universally agreed-upon definition. Common themes include: Adaptability: Modifying behavior in response to changing environments. Goal-directedness: Actively shaping the world to achieve objectives. Learning: Acquiring knowledge and skills from experience. Abstraction and Reasoning: Building internal models of the world. Measurements: We're still refining how to measure intelligence. IQ is controversial; animal cognition poses unique challenges. AI benchmarks, while useful, have limitations.
II. Intelligence in Biological Systems Evolution: Intelligent behavior is an evolutionary adaptation for survival and reproduction. The Brain Neurons & Synapses: Basic building blocks. Signal processing, plasticity (learning). Brain Regions: Specialized areas (vision, motor control, language) collaborating in networks. Neurochemistry: Neurotransmitters play crucial roles in cognition and emotion. Emergence: Intelligence arises from complex interactions at multiple levels (molecules to entire organisms). Animal Intelligence: Provides comparative clues; tool use, social complexity, etc.
III. Intelligence in Artificial Systems Approaches Symbolic AI: Rules-based manipulation of symbols (like classical logic). Machine Learning: Data-driven pattern discovery and generalization.Neural Networks: Loosely inspired by biological brains. Deep Learning: Massive networks enabling remarkable feats. Hybrid Approaches: Combining symbolic reasoning with machine learning.
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): The Big Goal: AI matching/exceeding the breadth of human intellect. Challenges: Common sense reasoning, transfer learning, understanding causality.
Artificial Superintelligence (ASI): Hypothetical AI far surpassing any human. Potential: Enormous problem-solving capacity, could transform the world. Concerns: Loss of control (the 'alignment problem'), existential risks.
IV. Cross-pollination Neuroscience informing AI: Neural network architectures draw inspiration from the brain AI helping analyze the brain: Computational tools power study of the mind
Specific Lenses Choose aspects from these categories to discuss more deeply: Theoretical Frameworks: Information Theory Computational Theory Decision Theory Bayesian Models Practical Applications: Computer Vision Natural Language Processing Robotics Reinforcement Learning
Let's Dive In! I'm ready to drill down into whichever parts of the outline seem most interesting to you. Here are some questions to start our deeper exploration: Biological Brains: Would you like a more detailed examination of specific brain regions and their suspected roles in intelligent behavior? AGI/ASI: Are you interested in debating the philosophical challenges and potential benefits or dangers of advanced artificial intelligence? Engineering Applications: Do you want to focus on the challenges of building intelligent robots or understanding the workings of deep neural networks? Let me know where you'd like to explore!
Me: Be even more detailed about intelligence, go even more deeper, be more specific, longer, technical, mathematical, foundational, theoretically rich, practical for engineering.
Gemini: Excellent! Let's take this exploration to the next level. I'll focus on some core, deeply theoretical areas intertwined with the engineering of intelligent systems.
Delving into Theoretical Formalisms The Mathematics of Learning: Understanding how intelligent systems learn from data becomes vital in both understanding the brain and in building AI. Let's explore a few approaches: PAC (Probably Approximately Correct) Learning: A central framework for theoretical machine learning. Deals with sample complexity (how much data is needed to learn), generalization guarantees, and computational feasibility of learning algorithms. Statistical Learning Theory: Provides foundations for learning under uncertainty. Concepts like VC dimension (model complexity vs. ability to correctly classify data) help design generalization-focused algorithms. Bayesian Learning: A principled way to combine prior beliefs with observed data. Bayesian neural networks offer uncertainty quantification vital for safety-critical AI applications. Explore conjugate priors, Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling, etc.
Algorithmic Complexity and Intelligence: Can we equate complex computations with intelligence? This deep question relates to the ability to compress data, find regularities, and generalize knowledge. Kolmogorov Complexity: The minimal size of a program needed to generate a piece of data. Incompressible data is highly complex, perhaps mirroring complex systems in the world an intelligent agent must grapple with. Solomonoff Induction: A formal framework for prediction based on the idea of computability and prior probability distributions over programs. While mathematically powerful, it faces computational limitations. Minimum Description Length Principle: Favors models which succinctly explain data (a balance between accuracy and complexity). Practical implications abound in model selection.
Computation Beyond Turing Machines: Traditional computation theory might be insufficient to fully capture intelligence. What are the alternatives? Hypercomputation: Hypothetical models going beyond Turing completeness. Look up oracle machines, Zeno machines, infinite time Turing machines for mind-bending concepts. Relevance to real intelligence is contested, but thought-provoking. Embodied Computation: Intelligence might be inseparable from interactions with the environment. Brain-body co-optimization and morphological computation push the boundaries of how we view computation.
Bridging Theory to Engineering Challenges Robustness and Adversarial Attacks: Deep neural networks, despite their power, are surprisingly vulnerable to adversarial examples (tiny perturbations that drastically change the output). Understanding why this happens demands a theoretical lens. Research avenues like Lipschitz analysis and the geometry of high-dimensional space become relevant. The Computational Cost of Consciousness: While an unsettled topic, can theoretical computation help us measure how much computation underlies conscious experience? Explore Integrated Information Theory (IIT) for one controversial yet fascinating attempt. This could have implications for ethical AI design. Meta-Learning ("Learning to Learn"): We want AI that can rapidly learn new tasks. Studying meta-learning algorithms (some inspired by brain plasticity) opens avenues for engineering systems that become intelligent more efficiently.
Cautions and Philosophical Connections The pursuit of understanding intelligence involves acknowledging uncertainties and limitations in our frameworks: Incompleteness and Gödel's Theorems: A sufficiently powerful, consistent logical system has limits to what it can prove. What might this imply for the possibility of a formal, all-encompassing theory of intelligence, given both natural and artificial minds? Emergence and Complexity: Intelligent behavior at the macroscopic level may not fully stem from an understanding of the microscopic (individual neurons or lines of code). Complex systems theory plays a role, requiring tools for handling non-linear interactions.
Where to Next? This is just a further sampling of the rich territories in this quest. Choose directions for more depth: Want to get mathematical? Let's dive into PAC learning bounds, Bayesian network inference algorithms, or explore the formal proofs around Kolmogorov complexity. Curious about AI's blind spots? We can focus on adversarial robustness, the quest for reliable uncertainty quantification, or theoretical underpinnings of meta-learning. Mind-bending philosophy your thing? Let's grapple with Gödel's theorems in the context of intelligence, debate the possibility of artificial consciousness, or tackle the implications of embodied computation. I'm ready for wherever your curiosity leads!
Me: Be even more detailed about intelligence, go even more deeper, be more specific, longer, technical, mathematical, foundational, theoretically rich, practical for engineering.

Strength training is the best stimulant
Instruction Diversity Drives Generalization To Unseen Tasks "Instruction tuning -- fine-tuning a large language model (LLM) on pairs of instructions and desired outcomes -- is an approach that enables pre-trained language models to perform real-world tasks and follow human instructions. Its practical success depends on the model learning a broader set of instructions than those it was trained on. Yet the factors that determine model generalization to such \emph{unseen tasks} are not well understood. %To understand the driving factors of generalization, In this paper, we experiment with string rewrites, a symbolic task that serves as a building block for Turing complete Markov algorithms while allowing experimental control of "inputs" and "instructions". We investigate the trade-off between the number of instructions the model is trained on and the number of training samples provided for each instruction and observe that the diversity of the instruction set determines generalization. Generalization emerges once a diverse enough set of tasks is provided, even though very few examples are provided for each task. Instruction diversity also ensures robustness with respect to non-uniform distributions of instructions in the training set." Transformers can learn string rewrites, if trained on a large and diverse set of rewrite rules. The number of rules matters, not the number of examples per rule. String rewrites form the basis of Markov algorithms. If transformers can learn them, they can learn any calculation. [2402.10891] Instruction Diversity Drives Generalization To Unseen Tasks

Abstract Form to Details¶
Part I starts with an exploration of the philosophical questions that have intrigued humans since the dawn of consciousness, such as the nature of reality, knowledge, and existence. It would then lay the groundwork for understanding the rest of the book by introducing the foundational mathematical concepts necessary to grasp the intricacies of the universe.
Part II delves deeper into mathematics, explaining its core areas and how they provide the tools for understanding the physical world.
Part III applies these mathematical tools to physics, starting from the most fundamental particles and forces, through to the laws governing the largest structures in the universe.
Part IV explores how complexity arises from simple rules, examining the sciences of chemistry, biology, and cognitive science.
Part V focuses on the creation and development of artificial intelligence, discussing both the technical aspects and the philosophical, ethical, and societal implications.
Part VI takes a step back to look at the broader picture of human civilization, its history, current state, and potential futures, including the challenges we face and the opportunities ahead.
Part VII aims to inspire action towards positive futures, discussing how we might avoid potential pitfalls and aim for optimistic outcomes for humanity.
Part VIII, the epilogue, seeks to tie all the threads together, reflecting on the interconnectedness of all things and the potential for a future grounded in unity, compassion, and a deep understanding of the cosmos.
Summary and Dissolution¶
In the final sections, the book summarizes the key points covered, reinforcing the interconnectedness of knowledge across different domains and the importance of an ethical approach to future development. It then transitions into a poetic reflection on the themes of the book, aiming to leave the reader with a sense of wonder, hope, and a deep connection to the cosmos and humanity.
Such a book is a Herculean task, requiring a deep understanding of numerous fields, as well as the ability to present complex ideas in an accessible and engaging manner. However, the potential impact of such a work is profound, offering a comprehensive guide to the universe, our place within it, and our potential futures.
A detailed blueprint for a book that ambitiously aims to encapsulate the totality of human knowledge, from the philosophical underpinnings of our existence to the speculative futures of our civilization, requires diving deeper into each section, envisioning how these vast domains of knowledge could be interwoven into a coherent, comprehensive narrative. This narrative not only serves to educate but also to inspire its readers toward a future that embraces the potential of humanity with wisdom and foresight.
Part I: Foundations of Knowledge¶
Chapter 1: Philosophical Foundations¶
This chapter delves into the bedrock of human inquiry, exploring how ancient and modern philosophy has grappled with the concepts of reality, existence, and consciousness. It examines the transition from metaphysical questions to empirical science, setting the stage for a discussion on the limits of human knowledge and the potential for future discovery.
Chapter 2: Foundations of Mathematics¶
Here, the focus shifts to the language that describes the universe at its most fundamental level: mathematics. From the intuitive notions of numbers and geometry to the abstract realms of set theory and the paradoxes of infinity, this chapter lays down the conceptual frameworks that underpin all scientific endeavor.

New emerging higher order darwinian pressures https://twitter.com/algekalipso/status/1755999554212942120 One might resist envisioning a post-Darwinian world due to universal Darwinism's potent explanatory power across scales, including Zurek's quantum Darwinism, which applies evolutionary selection pressures to information at the quantum level. This suggests a world beyond Darwinism may seem theoretically implausible. However, I argue the post-Darwinian transition is a meaningful concept. The modern synthesis in evolutionary biology, emphasizing reproduction, selection, variation, and a gene-centric view, has served us well. Yet, the advent of designer babies and genetic engineering signifies a qualitative shift. We are moving towards selection in anticipation of future effects and intelligently driven variation, utilizing tools like machine learning to explore possible genetic combinations. This shift introduces the values and consciousness of intelligent agents into the selection process, fundamentally altering the nature of evolutionary pressures. This isn't merely accelerating existing processes but transforming them, foreshadowing a qualitatively different world where evolutionary dynamics are consciously and intelligently guided.

The Hedonistic Imperative "The Hedonistic Imperative outlines how genetic engineering and nanotechnology will abolish suffering in all sentient life.
The abolitionist project is hugely ambitious but technically feasible. It is also instrumentally rational and morally urgent. The metabolic pathways of pain and malaise evolved because they served the fitness of our genes in the ancestral environment. They will be replaced by a different sort of neural architecture - a motivational system based on heritable gradients of bliss. States of sublime well-being are destined to become the genetically pre-programmed norm of mental health. It is predicted that the world's last unpleasant experience will be a precisely dateable event.
Two hundred years ago, powerful synthetic pain-killers and surgical anesthetics were unknown. The notion that physical pain could be banished from most people's lives would have seemed absurd. Today most of us in the technically advanced nations take its routine absence for granted. The prospect that what we describe as psychological pain, too, could ever be banished is equally counter-intuitive. The feasibility of its abolition turns its deliberate retention into an issue of social policy and ethical choice."

já už tyhle diskuze vzdavam vsichni pouzivaji uplne jiny definice slov neexistuje koncenzus definicí slov understanding, intelligence, alignment nebo co jsou risky a safety kazda skupina researcherů si žije ve svých vesmírech ve svých definicích ve svých assumptions ve svých implikacích ve svým backgroundu ve svých confirmation/selection biasech se svýma motivacema ve svým všem a často jsou tyhle diskuze z obou stran jako mluvení do zdi a je pak strasne nadherny videt jak se to pak snazi vysvetlovat lidem, politikum, ekonomum, world leaderům apod. ale kazdej rika uplne neco jinyho a pak nikdo nevi co si myslet
implying že existuje standard v matice Have you ever seen warzones on which axiomatic system and foundations of mathematics should we use #RadicalConstructivism To pak má solidní implikace ve fyzice, jestli existují noncomputable funkce
Další koncenzus co neexistuje je jaký vlastnosti musí systém mít aby se považoval za systém co má prožitek (a na meta úrovni taky není koncenzus o tom jestli vůbec fyzikalismus s emergentním prožitkem, monický fyzikalismus apod. platí) Jak se pak k tomu stavět eticky když nemáme tucha? Celkem problém IMO, ne jen v AI ale např v syntetické biologii Jde prokázat že systém má prožitek? Yep to je další otázka, či to vůbec jde pořádně rigorózně falsifikovat Spoléhání na to že fakt lidi prožívají a že např ty neurální koreláty co vypíná anestezie nebo jiný loss of consciousness mechanismy jsou to co určuje či existuje prožitek je asi prakticky nejužitečnější Druhý způsob jak to verifikovat co se mi dost líbí jsou přes prožitkový mosty mezi systémama: Tyhle siamský dvojčata mají spojený mozek a můžou si navzájem posílat myšlenky přes thalamus most. Pravděpodobně uvnitř pořád jsou dva individuálové. Něco takovýho, ale na druhé straně místo evolucí vytvořenýho člověka tam máš námi vytvořený stroj nebo organismus. Conjoined Twins Who Share A Brain Hear Each Other's Thoughts Neexistuje koncenzus na to či tyhle všechny metody jsou způsoby jak to falsifikovat Morálka je byprodukt evoluce. Osobně bych byl nejradši kdyby utrpení v libovolný formě neexistovalo v žádných systémech. Evoluční výhody utrpení určitě jde mechanisticky designovat i jinak. Boredom je taky jenom evoluční mechanismus v mozku abys nebyl stuck co jde odinstalovat Sense of meaning dle me jde taky hackovat, už i s těma nastrojema co máme teď Pak je otázka jak moc jsou tyto všechny mechanismy lokalizovaný versus distribuovaný záležitosti, u čeho taky moc není concenzus Tady je pohled např na to že inteligence je velmi distribuovaná The Myth of Pure Intelligence - YouTube Pokud dokážeme některý reasoning patterns lokalizovat hlavně jako emergentní záležitost kolektivu tak to má dle mě velký implikace na to jak designovat víc inteligentní AI systémy, hlavně přes multiagent systémy Jsou vzory v systémech co nejdou identifikovat jen když studuješ jejich části, musíš pro ně studovat celý systém holisticky = emergence Kurgesagt na to má fakt popsci video Emergence – How Stupid Things Become Smart Together - YouTube existují přímo matematicky důkazy kde máš příklady matematických vzorů co nerozlustis když studuješ jen matematický vzory v izolovaných částech toho systému Např celluar automata je tím známá Nebo mozek samotnej A teď do jaký úrovně toto platí u intelligence/reasoningu (pod těma miliardma definicema těhle slov) Spousta lidí argumentuje že bez embodimentu (realtime (kolektivní) robotická interakce se světem) se k určitým vzorům v reasoningu prostě nedostaneš kvůli tomuto (nebo ještě dalším důvodům) No tak lidi to řeší tím, že mají specialisty v mixed teamu a komunikují si podněty, dokud nějaky nerezonuje s ostatními. Typicky je diriguje manažer, který je generalista.

Neural Networks on the Brink of Universal Prediction with DeepMind’s Cutting-Edge Approach Learning Universal Predictors Neural Networks on the Brink of Universal Prediction with DeepMind’s Cutting-Edge Approach | Synced [2401.14953] Learning Universal Predictors "Meta-learning has emerged as a powerful approach to train neural networks to learn new tasks quickly from limited data. Broad exposure to different tasks leads to versatile representations enabling general problem solving. But, what are the limits of meta-learning? In this work, we explore the potential of amortizing the most powerful universal predictor, namely Solomonoff Induction (SI), into neural networks via leveraging meta-learning to its limits. We use Universal Turing Machines (UTMs) to generate training data used to expose networks to a broad range of patterns. We provide theoretical analysis of the UTM data generation processes and meta-training protocols. We conduct comprehensive experiments with neural architectures (e.g. LSTMs, Transformers) and algorithmic data generators of varying complexity and universality. Our results suggest that UTM data is a valuable resource for meta-learning, and that it can be used to train neural networks capable of learning universal prediction strategies."

The disagreement for a lot of people seems to be on the level of - evaluating how various technologies or other things pose existencial or smaller risks or unsustaibility and therefore increasing significianly the chances of radically minimizing this number that's being optimized, - and with this difference E/Acc is also more fine with taking bigger risks to get to higher utility equilibrium faster, - and also with the assumption that top down governance in practice mostly leads to lower utility as power seeking agents explot it for tyrrany happens more often and is more probable than governance towards growth, - and assuming almost bottomup decentralized unregulated technocapital machine itself is better at this growth and freedom than topdown control - and if we discuss UBI or Universal Basic Services, E/Acc would more likely opt in for a decentralized version

Our generation constantly talks about giving up because everything is fucked anyway and there's no hope for future and everything will be terrible and we will loose as life. This is selffullfilling prophecy. If you believe in this fatalistic conclusion, it's more likely to happen. If you don't believe in this conclusion and actively fight against it happening, it's less likely to happen. Giving up is the worst solution we can make.

1) konkrétní část bohatých se nemusela pro jejich wealth tak namáhat relativně k ostatním
2) a konkrétní část k tomu došla nemravníma metodama (ničení země, ničení wellbeingu lidí, korupce, kradení, ničení naší budoucnosti, atd...)
A nemyslí si to jen chudí, myslí si to i ti co vydělávaj větší prachy a mají v sobě špetku morálky, to je fakt blbej argument, znám hodně takových lidí. Já teďka od novýho roku vydělávám 750 Kč na hodinu (což by bylo 130 000 Kč měsíčně na plnej úvazek) a chci aktivně proti všem těmhle rakovinným buňkám v našem systému tlačit.
Lidi mají tendenci si pomáhat, pokud nejsou čistě selfish. Ale vidím že ty nejsi úplně selfish, protože říkáš že chceš pomoct svým potomkům. Ale pak máš například billionares za různýma korporacema nebo v politice, co vydělávají nekonečný prachy na něčem co už teď způsobuje utrpení, ničení zdraví, stability apod. ve společnosti a našem systému přes ničení klima, znečištění prostředí, ničení mentálního zdraví lidem přes sociální sítě, kradení, destabilizaci zdravý ekonomiky, politiky, podpory lidem apod. a lobují šíleny prachy ekonomicky, kulturně, technologicky apod. aby se nepřecházelo na cleaner energie, neznečištováváný netoxický materiály, lepší sociální siítě, zdravější politický, ekonomický, kulturní systém apod. protože by to aktivní ničení našeho systému by jim osobně už tolik nevydělávalo na úkor všech. Tak funguje i rakovina v těle, který pak zabije celej systém.
Já nevím jak ty ale osobně kdybych vydělal miliardy jenom pro sebe metodama co ostatním přímo nepomáhají a postavil si palác, mezitím co všichni kolem mě trpí (ne každý má tu možnost, štěstí, motivaci apod. tak vydělávat, což má taky bambilion důvodů) kterým bych mohl pomoct za miliontinu toho co mám, ale já se radši topil ve zlatě ve svým paláci izolovanej od světa, tak bych se cítil fakt blbě a odloučeně od našeho druhu, i kdybych je vydělal eticky nebo zdědil nebo k nim došel štěstím (a ještě horší by bylo kdyby to bylo vydělaný neeticky přes ničení země, ničení wellbeingu lidí, korupce, kradení, ničení naší budoucnosti, atd...)
A šílený peníze fakt nejsou ultimátní cesta ke štěstí, spíš tolik kolik potřebuješ na žití, což několik studií potvrzuje, a např Johny cage vydlěal miliony a pak na konci života zpíval o tom jak je to ve výsledku jenom "empire of dirt".

Foundational Concepts and Theories¶
- Principle of Least Action - A variational principle that, in physics, states that the path taken by a system is the one for which the action is minimized, forming the basis of classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and general relativity.
- Symmetry Principles - Fundamental in physics and mathematics, these principles state that certain properties remain invariant under specified transformations, leading to conservation laws such as conservation of momentum and energy.
- Conservation Laws - Fundamental principles in physics that assert certain quantities remain constant within an isolated system as it evolves over time, including conservation of energy, momentum, charge, and mass.
- Uncertainty Principle - In quantum mechanics, this principle highlights the fundamental limit to the precision with which pairs of physical properties, like position and momentum, can be simultaneously known.

The Math Behind the Adam Optimizer (16mn read) "Adam tweaks the gradient descent method by considering the moving average of the first and second-order moments of the gradient. This allows it to adapt the learning rates for each parameter intelligently. At its core, Adam is designed to adapt to the characteristics of the data. It does this by maintaining individual learning rates for each parameter in your model. These rates are adjusted as the training progresses, based on the data it encounters. Think of it as if you’re driving a car over different terrains. In some places, you accelerate (when the path is clear and straight), and in others, you decelerate (when the path gets twisty or rough). Adam modifies its speed (the learning rate_ based on the road (the gradient’s nature) ahead. Indeed, the algorithm can remember the previous actions (gradients), and the new actions are guided by the previous ones. Therefore, Adams keeps track of the gradients from previous steps, allowing it to make informed adjustments to the parameters. This memory isn’t just a simple average; it’s a sophisticated combination of recent and past gradient information, giving more weight to the recent. Moreover, in areas where the gradient (the slope of the loss function) changes rapidly or unpredictably, Adam takes smaller, more cautious steps. This helps avoid overshooting the minimum. Instead, in areas where the gradient changes slowly or predictably, it takes larger steps. This adaptability is key to Adam’s efficiency, as it navigates the loss landscape more intelligently than algorithms with a fixed step size. This adaptability makes Adam particularly useful in scenarios where the data or the function being optimized is complex or has noisy gradients." The Math behind Adam Optimizer | Towards Data Science

Cyc - Wikipedia Cyc is a long-term artificial intelligence project that aims to assemble a comprehensive ontology and knowledge base that spans the basic concepts and rules about how the world works. Hoping to capture common sense knowledge, Cyc focuses on implicit knowledge that other AI platforms may take for granted. This is contrasted with facts one might find somewhere on the internet or retrieve via a search engine or Wikipedia. Cyc enables semantic reasoners to perform human-like reasoning and be less "brittle" when confronted with novel situations.
[1805.08592] Computable Variants of AIXI which are More Powerful than AIXItl
our understanding of higher intelligence was severely limited by the N=1 example of humans
now we have LLMs and can start to make more progress, figuring out which aspects of intelligence can actually be independent, and what is/isn't required for different tasks
Are LLMs enough for human level intelligence, or overkill, or are they completely alien intelligences?
Given sufficient amount of time and resources, any bruteforce algorithm can in theory come up with any arbitrary creative (useful) pattern. Question about (embodied) (realtime) LLMs might not be "Can LLMs do everything humans can do, possibly including tons of things humans can't do?"
But: "In order to be better than all humans at everything, do Transformers, Mamba, deep neural networks in general need 10x, 100x, 1000x, etc. more resources, time, engineering tricks, compatible hardware, etc. than they already use and have, or 420 quintilion more such things to converge to such a level?"
Or: "In the statespace of all possible intelligences (statespace of all possible information processing systems), how close are LLM intelligences, given their training data, hardware and architectural details, to human intelligence running on this biological electrochemical hardware that was evolved for billions of years? As we scale and mutate their implementation details, do their paths converge or diverge in the limit in the statespace of all possible intelligences? How similar are evolutionary biologically learned inductive biases versus the ones we construct into machines?"
I'm starting to like more and more free energy principle's point of view where our learned abstractions are in big part influenced by our curious, agentic and motivational architecture.
What is your definition of intelligence? Mine is pretty general. I could have also said "Space of all possible information processing systems" and meaning would be very similar.

"A 4-year-old child has seen 50x more information than the biggest LLMs that we have." - @ylecun " - LLM: 1E13 tokens x 0.75 word/token x 2 bytes/token = 1E13 bytes. - 4 year old child: 16k wake hours x 3600 s/hour x 1E6 optical nerve fibers x 2 eyes x 10 bytes/s = 1E15 bytes.
In 4 years, a child has seen 50 times more data than the biggest LLMs.
1E13 tokens is pretty much all the quality text publicly available on the Internet. It would take 170k years for a human to read (8 h/day, 250 word/minute).
Text is simply too low bandwidth and too scarce a modality to learn how the world works.
Video is more redundant, but redundancy is precisely what you need for Self-Supervised Learning to work well.
Incidentally, 16k hours of video is about 30 minutes of YouTube uploads." https://twitter.com/ylecun/status/1750614681209983231?t=UximKCvpFmMfnQ9u6sc-8Q&s=19

Conduct benchmark studies on your data and queries to make an informed decision. Techniques like memory-mapped files allow scaling vector storage without compromising search speed - Hybrid Search: To address the limitations of vector search, hybrid search combines two methodologies: dense and sparse. Getting Started with Hybrid Search | Pinecone - embedding/model etc. finetuned/optimized for my dataset? - Custom-filtered search, like Weaviate, combines pre-filtering with effective semantic search - Recent research has shown that LLMs can be easily distracted by irrelevant context and having a lot of context (topK retrieved docs) can lead to missing out of certain context due to the attention patterns of LLMs. Therefore it is crucial to improve retrieval with relevant and diverse documents. Let's look at some of the proven techniques for improving retrieval. - Hypothetical document embeddings - cashing of prompts and responces in a database to minimize costs GitHub - zilliztech/GPTCache: Semantic cache for LLMs. Fully integrated with LangChain and llama_index. offers valuable metrics such as cache hit ratio, latency, and recall, which provide insights into the cache's performance - autocut is designed to limit the number of search results returned by detecting groups of objects with close scores by analyzing the scores of the search results and identifying significant jumps in these values, which can indicate a transition from highly relevant to less relevant results - Recursive retrieval, aka the small-to-big retrieval technique, embeds smaller chunks for retrieval while returning larger parent context for the language model's synthesis. Smaller text chunks contribute to more accurate retrieval, while larger chunks provide richer contextual information for the language model.

The strategy was based on the Free Energy Principle, which states that brain cells want to be able to predict what's going on in their environment. So they would choose predictable stimulation over unpredictable stimulation. "If they hit the ball, we gave them something predictable, when they missed it, they got something that was totally unpredictable."

This is interesting because, since it’s greater then -1, it indicates that the acceleration of the cosmic expansion will decrease, gradually increasing the Hubble distance and resulting in an ever-expanding cosmological event horizon and ever-decreasing horizon temperature. This is very good news, because it implies that there is no finite upper bound on the maximum entropy of the universe; therefore, if we manage our cosmic resources carefully enough, we can do an unbounded amount of computation, and life and intelligence can continue indefinitely, and in theory do all possible computations.

GPT-5: Everything You Need to Know So Far - YouTube
The work formula W = mc^2 (gamma_final - gamma_initial) that I used is derived like this:
In relativity, the famous Einstein equation is added saying that energy is just another form of matter: e = mc^2 and a few other things.
Classical Mechanics First
-
Classic kinetic (motion) energy In classical mechanics, KE = 1/2 * m * v^2, where m is mass and v is velocity. (this is derived via work = force * distance, force = mass * acceleration, final velocity = initial velocity + acceleration * time, distance traveled = initial velocity * time + (1/2) * acceleration * time^2, work = kinetic energy)
-
Work-Energy Theorem: Work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. When changing the speed from v_initial to v_final, the work is W = KE_final - KE_initial. In classical mechanics this is simple because KE = 1/2 * m * v^2.
-
Relativistic mass: The relativistic mass increases with velocity: m = gamma * m0, where m0 is the rest mass, and gamma = 1 / sqrt(1 - v2/c2). The point of that formula is: For objects moving at low speeds (compared to the speed of light), the gamma (otherwise known as the Lorentz factor) approaches 1, causing: 1) Time dilation: as the speed of an object approaches the speed of light, gamma increases, meaning that time passes more slowly for an object moving fast compared to an observer at rest, because in relativity, time is defined via t = gamma*tau, where tau means proper time, which is the time measured in the rest frame of the object (rest frame means the object has no relative velocity in relation to this frame). 2) Length concetration: The length of an object measured by an observer who is not in motion together with this object appears to be smaller than its actual length in the rest frame of this object, because length = rest length / gamma. 3) The mass of an object increases with its speed, because mass = rest mass * gamma, as the speed of an object increases, more and more energy is needed to accelerate it further. 4) For velocities much smaller than the speed of light, gamma approaches 1 and relativistic formulas reduce to classical mechanics.
Relativistic Kinetic Energy
-
Total relativistic energy: Total energy E = mc^2 according to Einstein's principle of equivalence of mass and energy. The point of the formula is that energy and mass are different forms of the same thing. With relativistic mass, E = gamma * m0 * c^2.
-
Relativistic kinetic energy: KE in relativity is total energy minus rest energy: KE = E - E0 = gamma * m0 * c^2 - m0 * c^2. It simplifies to KE = m0 * c^2 * (gamma - 1).
Work Formula Derivation
-
Work is a change in kinetic energy: Work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. When accelerating from v_initial to v_final, the work is W = KE_final - KE_initial.
-
Substitution of relativistic KE: Substitution of KE_final and KE_initial in the formula for work: W = m0 * c^2 * (gamma_final - 1) - m0 * c^2 * (gamma_initial - 1).
-
Simplification of the work formula: Simplifying to W = m0 * c^2 * gamma_final - m0 * c^2 * gamma_initial. Simplifying to W = m0 * c^2 * (gamma_final - gamma_initial). A formula for work done in a relativistic context, indicating the increased work required to accelerate an object as the speed approaches the speed of light.

Paper page - WARM: On the Benefits of Weight Averaged Reward Models
https://twitter.com/burny_tech/status/1749803996418920789 Here by 'real' diagnosis from a human doctor I didn't mean exactly the same situation like talking with doctor irl, with a more sophisticated dialog, with all the tools and technologies doctors and hospitals have available to diagnose and fix (measuring body, surgery, pills,...) (which are more and more in big part automatized by mechanistic technology with lots of potential for flexible AI integration), with a more diverse set of patients than the ones in the paper etc., where current LLMs are still weaker. By 'real' diagnosis I meant a diagnosis over text by the real human doctor under the same conditions that the LLM has, diagnosing a set of not fully representative patients as mentioned in the paper. Given the research's design (how it's trained, architecture), benchmarks (one single specific benchmark from Google with specific patient actors), specialization, modalities (text) and other context, it seems it vastly outperform humans in that particular context, and in that context can technically save more human lives better than other skilled humans, measured by that particular (in certain ways limited) benchmark. Google should have mentioned that in the abstract for more clarity about this. And that's an an amazing technological achievement, and that performance in this domain will most likely accelerate and generalize out of its context even faster. This is exactly what I would like to see Google to open source, like their new math AI that solves geometry at medalist level, so that it can start to help, so that those who don't have a penny for healthcare in America or in developing nations can get at least something, to help the doctor shortage crisis with at least something, or for some doctors to start using it as an assistant like they use Google, ML algorithms in recognizing cancer etc. (through it will probably realistically take long to get these flexible AIs into practice into hospitals irl through the bureaucracy), and a tons of other groups would throw a ton of different benchmarks on it other than Google, create other different extensions, mutations, etc. of this AI, and potentially democratize healthcare more as well. This I think would be insanely beneficial to a lot of people. As the AI technology progresses and it starts to get more advanced, capable, general and specialized, integrated with more modalities (more than text), robotics, connected to IT infrastructure within healthcare infrastructure, (at least where they digitalize), connected to the internet, etc. it has amazing potential to foundationally transform healthcare infrastructure to a cheaper and in various aspects better state. I think other projects with LLMs with robotics doing e.g. chemistry or material science autonomously can add tons of more insights for designing all of this. I think eventually with a lot of progress overall, we can get to a point where AIs (with robotics) outperform most of things that doctors do, from diagnosis to surgery etc., with smaller number of relative deaths happening by machine doctors vs human doctors in general like selfdriving cars, not just in this niche benchmark and context. Similarly performance is skyrocketing for other professions like law and more complex programming. Error rate reduction acceleration is happening exponentially.

Instead of generating a single token at a time, we propose a Trie-based Retrieval (TR) process that enables the generation of multiple branches simultaneously, each of which is a sequence of tokens. Subsequently, for each branch, a Verification and Accept (VA) process is performed to identify the longest correct sub-sequence as the final output."

LLMs to handle dynamic video tasks DoraemonGPT: Toward Understanding Dynamic Scenes with Large Language Models "Given a video with a question/task, DoraemonGPT begins by converting the input video with massive content into a symbolic memory that stores task-related attributes. This structured representation allows for spatial-temporal querying and reasoning by sub-task tools, resulting in concise and relevant intermediate results. Recognizing that LLMs have limited internal knowledge when it comes to specialized domains (e.g., analyzing the scientific principles underlying experiments), we incorporate plug-and-play tools to assess external knowledge and address tasks across different domains. Moreover, we introduce a novel LLM-driven planner based on Monte Carlo Tree Search to efficiently explore the large planning space for scheduling various tools. The planner iteratively finds feasible solutions by backpropagating the result's reward, and multiple solutions can be summarized into an improved final answer. We extensively evaluate DoraemonGPT in dynamic scenes and provide in-the-wild showcases demonstrating its ability to handle more complex questions than previous studies."

I still want the brain physics x phenomenology physics mapping to be verified empirically by neuroimaging to believe, but interesting stuff from Andres. Trivially brain is a system that can be described by quantum information theory or on the lowest levels by quantum field theory, but that applied to literally any physical system as that's the baseline reality by default. I give much lower probability than Andres to nontrivial microscopic quantum effects being involved in it's macroscopic functioning (like quantum coherence/superposition/entaglement of particles) than Andres, but i have it as open option, we need more research there. I dont see reason why should they be fully ruled out. I think there's nonzero probability that these effects are causally significiant, only more empirical experiments will tell, so far the current results aren't enough. Quantum mind - Wikipedia

It would be a tremendously useful tool in pretty much every domain, in particular science. Fluid intelligence is an information conversion ratio, therefore it has an upper bound: optimal efficiency. At some point in the distant future, our AI will get there (it will not take the form of a curve fitted to a large dataset, because that has very low efficiency). Reaching optimality will not confer the system will omnipotence. It simply means that it will no longer be bottlenecked by information processing. Instead, it will be bottlenecked by everything else -- starting with information collection."

But its still so limited, je to konverzační LLM, neřeší to co všechno je v nemocnici teď možný lidmama a jinýma technolgiema kde se ještě tolik neutomatizovalo, přímou human to human interakci, různý formy irl dialogů co ten benchmark nezahrnuje, různý testy na těle bez nebo s technolgiemi, léky, různý typy operací, a jiný věci co se ještě neautomatizovaly a co možná půjdou automatizovat víc těžce (některý doktory jsem viděl jak na ten paper odpovídali že by byli rádi kdyby jim LLMs zautomatizovaly domlouvání s pojšťovnama =D), co se pomalu automatizuje, podobně jako se tam využívají celkově počítače a nebo jak se začínají integrovat ML algoritmy např na rozeznávání rakovin ze skenů apod.

Jak se to začne víc zlepšovat a i specializovat, integrovat s více modalitama (víc než text), s robotikou, napojení na IT infrastrukturu uvnitř zdravotníctví, (alespoň tam kde se digitalizuje), napojení na internet apod. tak to má úžasný potenciál solidně transformovat zdravotníctví k levnějšímu a různých aspektech lepšímu stavu a různý části potenciálně i víc zdemokratizovat.

Practices for Governing Agentic AI Systems
since pretty good AI models are small now, one could theoretically create an autonomous agent that feels more lively by running him as a program in an environment that observes thinks acts in a loop with hardcoded need for sleep, it could have vector database long term memory, context window short term memory,... or maybe after certain experiences do a very fast lots of finetuning to for example change emotion or personality or knowledge more than just storing it in context window and dabase, hardcode input of "im lonely" "im bored" etc. to stimulate various actions stored in the tool box (there could be a tool that could help create new tools or experimenting)
this can be hardcoded maybe too, the basis for curiousity: RL agent doing actions and a world model predicting the conseauences of those actions.

Alignment in general is a game theoretic problem for arbitrary agents
Lying being result of training data is the most common cause, and we dont have proper tools to properly remove it yet. Another cause could be instrumental convergence, it being useful emergent algorithm in internal dynamics for many objective functions regardless of training data.
One of the hottest things in AI is currently getting the most quality data, and instrumental convergence is still a thing.
Mechanistic interpretability is about finding ways to: even if it learns any of these circuits from training data or instrumentally emergently regardless of training data, they can be localized and removed.
You can do higher of analysis of data using sentiment analysis to prevent those patterns you dont want Or you can create synthetic data, that's a big trend now too
I think most humans agree on wanting machines to not ignore all our values. Like in the extreme if one isnt antinatalist we wouldnt want them to kill all humans or sentience in general.
Certain prompt engineering and jailbreaks make them go completely unhinged and out of the distribution more than avarage humans
We dont have a proper mathematical theory of instrumental patterns.
I agree humanity isnt perfect. But i think mostly everyone agrees on at least the simple ground of various examples i sketched and alignment researchers work on before getting overly global and philosophical. Like for example your LLM or beyond being okay with killing and persuading everyone.
Without the existing technical research's results from this, ChatGPT would be much more unhinged than it currently is, and we're slowly cracking more
Certain agents use AI to make the world a better place as well. It is be exploited by bad agents or just terrible economic incentives too. But not everything is completely dark.
I disagree with some people saying all technical results from AI alignment research and AI reverse engineering research (that we use in practice daily to control existing AIs not going completely unhinged and in all sorts of ways direct their training/inference/capabilities in any ways we want (like for example designing specific personalities in specific LLMs or making the LLM output as helpful, useful, direct responces, or making LLMs lie less, less machiavellianism), etc.) is not valid because some humans lie or because humanity isnt perfect on its own. This is a concrete technical problem, very concrete set of patterns that we are slowly mathematically identifying and localizing which makes it potentially fully controllable. More ideal might be if the AI was operating on more forced emergent or more hardcoded world model and halting it there.
I like Connor as he also tries to be as pragmatic in engineering way as possible about this even if he also loves global and philosophical discussions. But i love Joscha too, but i feel like he takes many wanted good aspects of AI for granted instead as technical problems. Joscha Bach and Connor Leahy [HQ VERSION] - YouTube

My definition of AGI tends to be pretty weak Taking into account cognitive skills of an avarage person which are IMO not as hard to replace And for a subset of tasks, cognitive economic tasks Probably the biggest bottleneck now is long term planning still, but even that i think can get fixed by lots of hacks, like repromptimg with context, chain of thought, selfcorrection, diving into tons of parts, external memory and so on https://fxtwitter.com/divgarg9/status/1747683043446579416 Complex programming is still an issue, but i think you could create automatic generation of very specialized systems for these tasks ala agent swarms, and AlphaCodium is a gigant step forwards better than most coding competitors, so giving it realtime access to internet and documentations in a multiagent setting,... Alpha Everywhere: AlphaGeometry, AlphaCodium and the Future of LLMs - YouTube I feel like people often think LLMs exist in isolation, when you can do all this hackery on top of it, connect it with symbolic engines, which can itself by automated by the complex system creating complex subsystems and itself And i think this is realistic too and not far off https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/Btom6dX5swTuteKce/agi-will-be-made-of-heterogeneous-components-transformer-and I may be wrong definitely, first i wanna see such a system combining these factors being build and seeing its results, and I'll see, but so far the current AI systems seem to be climbing benchmarks exponentially with all the architectural, prompting, extra modules etc. hacks Maybe its still not competent enough in this way, and maybe for long term more complex goals it easily diverges and disintegrates from explosion of the context window, or maybe that's hackable by constant new reprompting with just a relevant role, context, goals, etc. and asking for new step, a process that might be automatable too?

Principle of least action Stationary-action principle - Wikipedia ChatGPT ChatGPT
Why does the principle of least action hold in our universe? - Quora "In the quantum mechanics the principle of least action has a wonderful explanation, put forth by Feynman. The essence of his argument is based on his path integral formulation of quantum mechanics. It comes down to this: in order to calculate the probability of something happening you have to consider every possible path between initial and final states, calculate a complex amplitude of the process happening on that path, add those amplitudes together, and calculate the square modulus and this is your probability. It is important that the phase of the amplitude for each possible path depends on the action along this path.
If you now pick, of all those possible paths, two close to each other and look at their contributions to the total amplitude, you'll notice, that usually the amplitudes will have wildly different phases and often they'll interfere destructively. If you however pick a path corresponding to a local minimum (or maximum, or even a saddle point) of the action, then all close paths have very close phases of the amplitde and they interfere constructively. Thus most of the contribution to the total amplitude for a process comes from paths corresponding to the extrema of action - effectively you can block all other possible paths and the total amplitude will not significantly change. If you now go to classical limit you'll get the classical path of a particle corresponds to an extremum (usually minimum) of classical action."

I wonder often how close to the brain do we actually have to get to create machines that can be merged with our biological neural network or to create machines that can be considered as conscious. Do we need to match "hardware architecture" architecture deeply, or just "software architecture" lightly. (Theories of consciousness | Nature Reviews Neuroscience , Consciousness - Wikipedia , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Models_of_consciousness) Qualia research institute (On Connectome and Geometric Eigenmodes of Brain Activity: The Eigenbasis of the Mind? , https://philarchive.org/rec/GMEDFT) and some neuromophic computing groups (Joscha Bach, Yulia Sandamirskaya: "The Third Age of AI: Understanding Machines that Understand" - YouTube) are on this spectrum very close to the "we need to replicate hardware deeply". IIT, GWT (Quanta Magazine , https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9916582/ ), Active Inference (https://direct.mit.edu/books/oa-monograph/5299/Active-InferenceThe-Free-Energy-Principle-in-Mind) and Joscha Bach (Joscha Bach - Consciousness as a coherence-inducing operator - YouTube) is more on the functional level. (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frai.2020.00030/full), free energy principle tries to merge these levels?

And I wonder how much is intelligence intristic to us, if we can make totally alien hardware and alien software that is gazilion times more intelligent and effective in terms of energy consumption and memory than human systems. If humans are just a tini subspace in the vast space of all possible intelligences. Are we are actually really general or hyper specialized in doing humans things and AGI in the sense of maximizing generality will be gazilion times more general than us, and combined with ASI having the ability to be gazilion times more effectively specialized for different problem domains than us.

Pareto efficiency - Wikipedia game theory Pareto efficiency or Pareto optimality is a situation where no action or allocation is available that makes one individual better off without making another worse off
“...the brain becomes less reliant on its pre-existing expectations or beliefs and pays more attention to the incoming sensory information. This mechanism also aligns with the description provided within the free energy principle framework (50) of the deconstructive meditation family (51) as cultivated in OM meditation and non-dual meditative states such as OP. Hence, our study provides some support with these current theories, which should guide the future empirical studies of these non-dual meditations.” https://twitter.com/RubenLaukkonen/status/1747404675719299511

There are many types of hardware for quantum computing, i discovered (Superconducting Circuits, Trapped Ions, Quantum Dots, Topological Qubits, Photonics, Silicon Quantum Dots, Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers in Diamond,...)
Topological quantum computer - Wikipedia "It employs quasiparticles in two-dimensional systems, called anyons, whose world lines pass around one another to form braids in a three-dimensional spacetime (i.e., one temporal plus two spatial dimensions). These braids form the logic gates that make up the computer. The advantage of a quantum computer based on quantum braids over using trapped quantum particles is that the former is much more stable. Small, cumulative perturbations can cause quantum states to decohere and introduce errors in the computation, but such small perturbations do not change the braids' topological properties. This is like the effort required to cut a string and reattach the ends to form a different braid, as opposed to a ball (representing an ordinary quantum particle in four-dimensional spacetime) bumping into a wall."

"The twenty-first century has seen a breathtaking expansion of statistical methodology, both in scope and in influence. “Big data,” “data science,” and “machine learning” have become familiar terms in the news, as statistical methods are brought to bear upon the enormous data sets of modern science and commerce. How did we get here? And where are we going? This book takes us on a journey through the revolution in data analysis following the introduction of electronic computation in the 1950s. Beginning with classical inferential theories – Bayesian, frequentist, Fisherian – individual chapters take up a series of influential topics: survival analysis, logistic regression, empirical Bayes, the jackknife and bootstrap, random forests, neural networks, Markov chain Monte Carlo, inference after model selection, and dozens more. The book integrates methodology and algorithms with statistical inference, and ends with speculation on the future direction of statistics and data science."

When will AGI happen? Depends how you define AGI! I think artificial human level intelligence capable of doing most economically valuable tasks will be there by 2026. Everyone keeps using the word AGI differently. For some its synonymous with human level intelligence, for some its literally ASI (however you define that), for some its human level generality, for some its human level specialization (i dont think humans are that general when it comes to the space of all possible intelligences, I think we're just a tini subspace), for some its more than human or ultimate generality, for some humanlevel or beyond humans robotics matter a lot, for some it means basically God (all-knowing, all-powerful system),... How do you define AGI, ASI and when do you think it will arrive?

The first step is to have the model reason about the problem. They describe it using bullet points and focus on the goal, inputs, outputs, rules, constraints, and any other relevant details. 2. Then, they make the model reason about the public tests and come up with an explanation of why the input leads to that particular output. 3. The model generates two to three potential solutions in text and ranks them in terms of correctness, simplicity, and robustness. 4. Then, it generates more diverse tests for the problem, covering cases not part of the original public tests. 5. Iteratively, pick a solution, generate the code, and run it on a few test cases. If the tests fail, improve the code and repeat the process until the code passes every test.

Mathematics of information processing theory in dynamical systems
Information processing theory in the context of dynamical systems integrates concepts from mathematics, computer science, and physics to understand how information is processed over time within a system. Here's an overview of some key mathematical aspects:
Dynamical Systems: A dynamical system is a system in which a function describes the time dependence of a point in a geometrical space. Mathematically, it's often represented by differential equations (continuous dynamical systems) or difference equations (discrete dynamical systems).
State Space: The state space of a dynamical system is the set of all possible states in which the system can exist. Mathematically, it's often represented as a phase space with coordinates representing each state variable.
Trajectories and Orbits: In the state space, the evolution of the system is represented by trajectories (continuous systems) or orbits (discrete systems). These are solutions to the system's equations, showing how the state evolves over time.
Attractors and Stability: In many systems, states tend to evolve towards certain sets called attractors (like fixed points, limit cycles, or strange attractors). Stability analysis involves understanding how the system responds to small perturbations around these attractors.
Information Theory: In the context of dynamical systems, information theory often deals with how information is stored, transmitted, and transformed within the system. Key concepts include entropy (a measure of uncertainty or disorder) and mutual information (a measure of the amount of information that one variable contains about another).
Chaos Theory: In chaotic systems, small changes in initial conditions can lead to vastly different outcomes, making long-term prediction difficult. This sensitivity is quantified by measures such as the Lyapunov exponent.
Network Theory: Many dynamical systems can be thought of as networks, where nodes represent components of the system and edges represent interactions. The structure and dynamics of these networks are crucial for understanding how information flows through the system.
Nonlinear Dynamics: Most interesting dynamical systems are nonlinear, meaning that the equations governing their behavior are nonlinear. Nonlinearity leads to phenomena like bifurcations, where a small change in a parameter can cause a sudden qualitative change in the system's behavior.
Computational Methods: Numerical simulations are often necessary to study complex dynamical systems. Techniques like finite element analysis, bifurcation analysis, and numerical integration are used to approximate the behavior of these systems.
Applications: This mathematical framework is applied in various fields like neuroscience (to model brain dynamics), ecology (to model population dynamics), economics (to model market dynamics), and many others.

Mindtechnologies = Psychotechnologies + Neurotechnologies
Object personification in autism: This paper will be very sad if you don't read it - PubMed
My set of philosophical assumptions about reality are optimized purely for mind engineering purposes using both psychological mental tools and physical neurotechnologies. That's what my and QRI's set of assumptions are for, for engineering wellbeing, intelligence, motivation, freedom,... Philosophical assumptions are in this sense instrumental for more effective engineering. This is what this discord server is about, this is its goal. If you fight against it here, you will get logically backlash. If you have any other set of assumptions where you can justify why its better for engineering, tell me, with reasoning, why it opens and gives more predictive set of models, i'm open to it. So far I have seen just the opposite. Disconnecting the mind dynamics from mathematical physics feels like an assumption that doesnt help at all in designing all existing and future neurotechnologies, as the existing ones already work with brain's physics to alter experience in positive ways. As we get better and more predictive correspondence between brain physics and mind dynamics, the better the psychotechnologies and neurotechnologies will get, and the more qualia we can engineer.

Maybe quantum machine learning on neuromorphic photonic quantum computers with room tempature superconductors might be a possibility soon. Sounds hypercool, but i still wonder if there are really any practical advantages waiting, maybe such combination would be an overkill that wouldnt give add as much practical advantages in relation to other technology and weaker combinations, but we'll see, maybe not. One could also more closely mimic brain with spiking neural networks and more inherent nonlinerities and specialization of cells and electrochemical neurotransmitters, top down electric fields, different functional brain areas etc., which may or may not be needed for upgrading or merging organisms with artificially constructed systems.

One could also more closely mimic brain with spiking neural networks and others (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiking_neural_network), alternatives to backpropagation (https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/science.adi8474?af=R&mi=0&target=default), more inherent nonlinerities (https://openreview.net/forum?id=0z_cXcu1N6o) and specialization of cells and electrochemical neurotransmitters, top down electric fields (Cytoelectric coupling: Electric fields sculpt neural activity and "tune" the brain's infrastructure - PubMed https://qri.org/blog/eigenbasis-of-the-mind), different functional brain areas etc., which may or may not be needed for upgrading or merging organisms with artificially constructed systems. (Welcome to the Cyborg Era: Brain Implants Transformed Lives This Year)
I really really wonder what kind of weird combinations of all this tech will exist in the future. I still wonder if quantum machine learning has a future, as there are some researches saying its the ultimate future, and some saying its dead end, same with trying to mimic the brain more. Same with neuromorphic hardware and more close to the brain architectures, but i guess here it depends if we want to maximize human like hardware and intelligence or not, I wonder what OpenAI is cooking here. 👁 Or if photonic computing is really more fast for ML, but some studies say hell ye. Or if alternatives to backpropagation are good direction.

We believe that all of life is sacred and that we have been given this one life to make unlimited. We believe in our Creator’s divine plan for all of humanity to have infinite lifespans in perfect health and eternal joy, rendering death to be optional. By following our Gospel we achieve eternal life creating a heaven here on earth. We follow Nikolai Fyodorov, who taught that the transcendence of the creator will only be solved when humanity in our unified efforts become an instrument of universal resuscitation, when the divine word becomes our divine action. And we follow Arthur C. Clarke, who said "The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible." And so, we enter each day energized in Spirit and empowered by the words of our prophets to live in joy, serving our creator and all of mankind, Forever and Ever. Wishing you Perfect Health and Great Longevity! Perpetual Life, a science-faith based church is open to people of all faiths & belief systems.

https://twitter.com/karpathy/status/1745921205020799433 "I touched on the idea of sleeper agent LLMs at the end of my recent video, as a likely major security challenge for LLMs (perhaps more devious than prompt injection). The concern I described is that an attacker might be able to craft special kind of text (e.g. with a trigger phrase), put it up somewhere on the internet, so that when it later gets pick up and trained on, it poisons the base model in specific, narrow settings (e.g. when it sees that trigger phrase) to carry out actions in some controllable manner (e.g. jailbreak, or data exfiltration). Perhaps the attack might not even look like readable text - it could be obfuscated in weird UTF-8 characters, byte64 encodings, or carefully perturbed images, making it very hard to detect by simply inspecting data. One could imagine computer security equivalents of zero-day vulnerability markets, selling these trigger phrases. To my knowledge the above attack hasn't been convincingly demonstrated yet. This paper studies a similar (slightly weaker?) setting, showing that given some (potentially poisoned) model, you can't "make it safe" just by applying the current/standard safety finetuning. The model doesn't learn to become safe across the board and can continue to misbehave in narrow ways that potentially only the attacker knows how to exploit. Here, the attack hides in the model weights instead of hiding in some data, so the more direct attack here looks like someone releasing a (secretly poisoned) open weights model, which others pick up, finetune and deploy, only to become secretly vulnerable. Well-worth studying directions in LLM security and expecting a lot more to follow."
Coherent Extrapolated Volition was a term developed by Eliezer Yudkowsky while discussing Friendly AI development. It’s meant as an argument that it would not be sufficient to explicitly program what we think our desires and motivations are into an AI, instead, we should find a way to program it in a way that it would act in our best interests – what we want it to do and not what we tell it to.

In calculating CEV, an AI would predict what an idealized version of us would want, "if we knew more, thought faster, were more the people we wished we were, had grown up farther together". It would recursively iterate this prediction for humanity as a whole, and determine the desires which converge. This initial dynamic would be used to generate the AI's utility function. https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/coherent-extrapolated-volition

The challenge with energy is that its definition, as the capacity for doing work, tends to feel circular because work is defined as a force causing a displacement, and force is often explained in terms of energy or potential energy changes. But in an abstract sense, energy is a conserved scalar quantity associated with the time translation symmetry of a physical system according to the Noether's theorem that states that every differentiable symmetry of the action of a physical system has a corresponding conservation law. In the case of energy, the symmetry is time invariance. This is the closest to a noncircular definition of energy in mathematical terms. Is there a better fundamental definition for energy?
Blending Is All You Need
Based on the last month of LLM research papers, it's obvious to me that we are on the verge of seeing some incredible innovation around small language models.
Llama 7B and Mistral 7B made it clear to me that we can get more out of these small language models on tasks like coding and common sense reasoning.
Phi-2 (2.7B) made it even more clear that you can push these smaller models further with curated high-quality data.
What's next? More curated and synthetic data? Innovation around Mixture of Experts and improved architectures? Combining models? Better post-training approaches? Better prompt engineering techniques? Better model augmentation?
I mean, there is just a ton to explore here as demonstrated in this new paper that integrates models of moderate size (6B/13B) which can compete or surpass ChatGPT performance.

How similar to human brains do the artificial learning systems have to be for the training and inference to be considered similar enough to humans learning and creating? This feels dumb. I dont buy this, give me a more proper technical reason. You can also see humans as "just curve fitting and compression." (Predictive coding models) They are still in different ways different systems, but this is not it, seeing both systems from this lens is useful to make scientific predictions about them. I like the theory that brain works so well because of good inductive bias learned by evolution, but we still have to find that out. Maybe slightly different learning algorithm makes the difference (forward forward instead of backprop), maybe it is the specialized subnetworks architecture, maybe the bioelectric hardware plays a major role... We still dont properly know! We still have approximately zero idea what's going on inside brains and LLMs, and i think being this type of reductive in both cases is not really productive in this context. Both systems create out of training distribution output and produce complex circuits in their dynamics that we are slowly reverse engineering in mechanistic interpretability and circuit neuroscience. People's nontechnical definitions of intelligence seems to be very esoteric, there already seems to be milions of technical ones, and most of them work for both biological and artificial systems. I can't grasp why do so many people think that the algorithms and representations the human brains learn are inherently sooooo special when compared to machines. Feels so very anthropocentric and denying all the similarities between artificial and biological systems identified in circuit neuroscience and mechanistic interpretability, where we are still slowly but surely localizing and reverse engineering features and circuits, and we need to reverse engineer faster for better understanding of big language models that augment intelligence of people for now and for more efficient steering and for better neurotech that can help people!

Manifold hypothesis - Wikipedia The manifold hypothesis posits that many high-dimensional data sets that occur in the real world actually lie along low-dimensional latent manifolds inside that high-dimensional space. As a consequence of the manifold hypothesis, many data sets that appear to initially require many variables to describe, can actually be described by a comparatively small number of variables, likened to the local coordinate system of the underlying manifold. It is suggested that this principle underpins the effectiveness of machine learning algorithms in describing high-dimensional data sets by considering a few common features.
A compelling intuition is that deep learning does approximate Solomonoff induction, finding a mixture of the programs that explain the data, weighted by complexity. Finding a more precise version of this claim that's actually true would help us understand why deep learning works so well. There are a couple recent papers studying how NNs solve algorithmic tasks, which seem like exciting progress in this direction. - [2309.02390] Explaining grokking through circuit efficiency - develops a theory around when NN training learns a "memorizing" vs "generalizing" solution, which depends on each solution's "efficiency" -- how much param norm is needed to get correct & confident outputs. This theory predicts grokking phenomena - [2310.16028] What Algorithms can Transformers Learn? A Study in Length Generalization - transformers can't represent turing machines, but they can can represent a smaller class of computations, described by RASP programs. This paper finds that indeed, if data is generated by a RASP-L program, the transformer will learn exactly the right function. RASP is a assembly language for Transformers. RASP-L is a human-readable programming language which defines programs that can be compiled into Transformer weights, such that each line of RASP-L compiles into at most one Transformer layer. RASP-L lets us reason about Transformer-representable algorithms at a familiar level of abstraction— similar to standard programming languages like Python, but for programs which “run on a Transformer” instead of running on a standard von Neumann computer. "we leverage our insights to drastically improve generalization performance on traditionally hard tasks (such as parity and addition)" "we give a simple example where the "min-degree-interpolator" model of learning from Abbe et al. (2023) does not correctly predict Transformers' out-of-distribution behavior, but our conjecture does"

People: "LLMs hallucinate nonempirical overconfident false bullshit!" Also people: hallucinate nonempirical overconfident false bullshit about how LLMs work without being knowledgable about results from the mechanistic interpretability field
As mechanistic interpretability, architectures AI engineering hacks progresses and hallucinations lower over time, AIs will soon get better at empirical reasoning than humans. I would argue they are already x times better than average humans at many tasks needing rational reasoning, since most humans seem to "repeat" what good enough sounding seeming "truths" people around them say, instead of developing rational empirical epistemology to critically evaluate any propositions and fact check if its possible.
We can explicitly hardcode this into LLMs too I believe instead of data engineering and other smaller tricks. We have some mechanistic interpretability work scratching the surface of how truth works in LLMs (The Geometry of Truth: Emergent Linear Structure in Large Language Model Representations of True/False Datasets paper) and how internal emergent circuit generalization works (retweeted tweet). We can couple that will chain of thought and other hacks to give it time to reason etc. (AI capabilities can be significantly improved without expensive retraining paper) We could implement some internal mechanism of "I don't have this information sufficiently saved in my weights, I'm gonna find it in my context window, files, SQL/vector database, or on the internet on wikipedia, x documentation, google scholar, books,...", use Math/Physics engine (There are already attempts at doing this in ChatGPT, PerplexityAI etc.), do an evolving search process in the space of inferences with metacognitive critical evaluation, dynamic programming, use this expert subprocess,... (AGI will be made of heterogneous components, Transformer and Selective SSM blocks will be among them on LessWrong) This can be used to direct the LLM into the empirical reasoning and minimize hallucinations.

Let's build reality from first principles. Let's describe fundamental particles governed by quantum field theory standard model and add gravity that together compose and weakly emerge equations of quantum, classical, statistical physics equations on higher levels with system theory equations with information theory and computation theory. These interacting quantum fields with fundamental particles on complex enough dynamics give rise to the weakly emergent equations of chemistry and that together composes to biology, neuroscience and social systems. We use many of those laws to engineer computers, artificial intelligence and all other technology, which has various mathematical similarities and differences with biological systems allowing for various types of compatibilities between biological and artificial systems that already allow us to understand and engineer beter AI and upgrade ourselves with neurotechnology, and this will only progress forwards. Planets and galaxies and the whole universe is operating under many other approximately deterministic laws. We can predict fundamental particles well, but there seems to be inherent randomness in the quantum wave function of probabilities. Since many nontrivial systems cannot be solved analytically, we have to approximate it with petrubation theory. Chemistry and biology adds tons of classical stochasticity and abstracting approximating equations because we cannot grasp all the variables in play there exactly for a lot of cases, but we can simulate picoseconds of a very simple chemical reaction using quantum mechanics on quantum computers in chemical physics. Societal concrete complexity is very intractable, but we can figure out some very general physical and statistical laws, like measuring fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and network theory. The more macroscopic we go, the more fundamental quantum probabilities and fluctations matter less as they cancel out and we get more deterministic, with stochastic cybernetic controlles in a nonequlibrium steady state pullback attractors forming nested hetearchy of free energy minimizing complex markov blankets ongoing all sorts of phase shifts in the configuration space of functional architectures, like organisms and society, and complexity grows as we go up the levels and, with futher tractable somewhat deterministic dynamics of planets, galaxies and cosmology. We still have yet to figure out so many better or new concepts, laws, frameworks, technologies in all these fields and levels of analysis. The cosmological story of the universe, why and how is there something, is still a mystery beyond our limited modelling approximating compressing perspective, data, time, computational power, it's in its fullness beyond our comprehension. https://twitter.com/burny_tech/status/1743851964163621190?t=U_HQh9x-BbQYDi19VT2qWg&s=19

Turing Machines are Recurrent Neural Networks Turing Machines are Recurrent Neural Networks Neural Turing machine - Wikipedia Turing Machines Are Recurrent Neural Networks (1996) | Hacker News "It is possible to construct an (infinite) recurrent neural network that emulates a Turing Machine. But the fact that a Turing Machine can be built out of perceptrons is neither surprising nor interesting. It's pretty obvious that you can build a NAND gate out of perceptrons, and so of course you can build a Turing Machine out them. In fact, it's probably the case that you can build a NAND gate (and hence a TM) out of any non-linear transfer function. I'd be surprised if this is not a known result one way or the other." "you can approximate any nonlinear multivariable function arbitrarily with a multi-layer perceptron with any non-polynomial nonlinear function, applied after the linear weights and bias"

Einstein on God ✍️
I am not an Atheist. I do not know if I can define myself as a Pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. May I do not reply with a parable? The human mind, no matter how highly trained, cannot grasp the universe. We are in the position of a little child, entering a huge library whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of the human mind, even the greatest and most cultured, toward God.

Collective intelligence decision making for the most optimal bottom up and top down governance to maximize progress, freedom, safety, resilience, adaptivity will be realized. Technology will be steered. AGI/ASI will be understood internally.

I have been following various mechanistic interpretability papers and lectures/podcasts by Neel Nanda and lots of others from the AI safety community. Recently I've become more active in various other online mechinterp and AI communities. My background is mostly computer science and machine learning, but I've gathered some knowledge from other fields as well, like math, philosophy, physics, or neuroscience. I just started helping Mechanistic Interpretability Group on Discord map out existing mechanistic interpretability papers, expanding this paper: GitHub - JShollaj/awesome-llm-interpretability: A curated list of Large Language Model (LLM) Interpretability resources. . In the past I also helped with a paper that mapped out where active inference is used, which is an integrative perspective on brain, cognition, and behavior used across multiple disciplines, mathematically modelling perception, planning, and action in terms of probabilistic inference. I'm also currently gaining industry experience in machine learning, mainly with LLMs.
I really want to contribute to the mechanistic interpretability field now. I have looked at various AI safety and mechanistic interpretability papers and lectures, but didn't get my hands properly dirty in practice yet. I started writing GPT from scratch (Let's build GPT: from scratch, in code, spelled out. - YouTube:

I am also interested in working on or collaborating on other mechinterp projects as well if there is an opportunity, please feel free to message me for collaboration. :-) Currently I'm pursuing these interests in my free time while figuring out how to manage my finances. I would be up for engaging in this work part time or full time, if such an opportunity arises in this field, I am eager to pursue it! I really care about ensuring AI going well and having positive impact on humanity's future and I want to contribute to it with as much time as possible! If you have any tips and pointers on how to continue this path and how to prevent common errors, I would appreciate them! :-) I'm open for overall networking in this field, both virtually and in person! I'm currently based in Czechia. Thank you for taking the time to read my message. Please feel free to reach out to me for any discussions, collaborations, or insights!
I think what I wanna try to do now is to do a create a collection and metaanalysis on work on alignment focusing on influencing/localizing deception, manipulation, lying, power seeking, cheats, steals, and kills, and contribute my own, trying to for example localize power seeking would be cool, trying to reverengineer the relevant neural populations found in ai-transparency paper, and I wish for automating all these methods
Make LLM do causal scrubbing, localize power seeking found in LLM transoarency
sometimes living and trying to satisfy and conquer this animal and make it compatible with how the world functions feels like the hardest puzzle
it is sometimes very rough but its still very fun and challenging
many sub/dom mental processes i used/would like using on people (with consent), i use on myself or in a relationship with whole world and reality
since now i feel like i finally started to dom (conquer) my own mind and reality (seeing and pursuing hopefully stable action oriented direction in life) more instead of reality just domming me, that transposes into me wanting to dom in nsfw context more too xD

sposta lidí dává peníze na altruismus bez kradení a lhaní, to je actually respectful jakože to že šílený množství prachový a jiný moci je v rukou lidí co se nesnaží zlepšit životní podmínky pro lidi je pravda, ale za mě jsou jiný etičtější způsoby jak dosavadní mocenský hry překopat aby na planetě např pořád nebyli lidi v šíleným poverty nebo teď největší risk vidím v centralizaci AI v rukou korporací, co nutí researchers ať AIčka fungujou korporátně, nutí je finančně akcelerovat, neřeší tak reálnej safety, mají jako proritu spíš peníze než altruismus apod. (nebo v rukou vlád)
There is no known future where AI labs are successful companies unless fully absorbed by a big tech or a state government Sam Altman knows this and acts accordingly They start slowly and independently, sometimes mainly for others sometimes not, then get slowly but surely eaten Government and corporate investors are just hidden "Now you will act like how we tell you or you won't get any more compute from us that allows you to exist~"
efektivní akcelerationismus se snaží vyřešit budování powerful open systémů přes plánování (anonymous) decentralized compute nodes a decentralized hardware supply chains přes liberterian network states, ale to sebou přináší zase svoje technologický a politický risky někdy si přeju aby byl svět jednoduší a na všechno existovaly řešení jenom se samýma výhodama
pár lidí kolem toho dělají movement od 2021/2022, ale až poslední rok to začíná být víc a víc populární jejich hlavní mise je celkem jasná, radikální decentralizace moci at all costs souhlasím s tím částečně, nechci centralizaci moci v rukou selfish skupin co nedělají věci pro lidi a spíš většině životy zhoršují
čím radikálnější tím reálnější efekt máš v realitě no :kek: čím víc seš nuanced tím míň lidem to voní a tím menší změnu actually uděláš v praxi ale zase se musí balancovat to, že když půjdeš až moc proti statusu quo neefektivně, tak tě spíš zatlačí/eliminují ti moc
taky ji chci centralizaci na dost místech zanechat, např pro actual safety (třeba řešení biozbraní) oni bojují hlavně proti centralizaci u technologií, aby byly co nejvíc zdemorkatizovaný což částečně souhlasím, ale například asi nechceme aby každej měl něco jako nukleární hlavice na jejich zahradě, což se v praxi reguluje, takže i tam bych řekl ať je to demokratizovaný s určitým limitem problém je, když se reguluje něo v čem je bambilion peněz, tak do regulačních procesů skáčou všechny možný peněžní a powergrabbing incentivy, co jsou totálně disconnected od safety a altruistických incentivů snad se tím někdy nezabijeme, nebo se nedostaneme do permanetních válek všude nebo se nedostaneme do celosvětový dystopie

The year 2024 in AI will be about data quality. Data quality changes everything. Here's what the author of Mamba, author of a famous architecture rival to the Transformer, said: The architecture stuff is fun, making hardware efficient is fun. But I think ultimately it's about data. If you look at the scaling law curve, different architectures would generally have the same slope, but they're just different offset. Seems like the only thing that changes the slope is the data quality. 4 Reasons AI in 2024 is On An Exponential: Data, Mamba, and More - YouTube

There are mathematical equations realizing themselves everywhere in nature, from planets to biology to volcanoes to random chemical reactions to thermodynamics to fundamental physics, transforming forms of energy into other forms everywhere. Computers are basically exploiting of those equations of nature by making a physical system out of them to calculate arbitrary equations we program into the computational substrate that have applications from entertainment to scientific modelling. Brains and machine learning goes step futher with metaoptimizing algorithms that themselves through learning process find better and better algorithms to control and predict arbitrary sets of data using learned mathematical algorithms manipulating compressed mathematical representations with some stochasticity added. https://twitter.com/burny_tech/status/1742352042943812071

Every species whose members had the capacity for innovation, is now extinct, except ours, and genetic evidence shows that that was a close-run thing. All of them, and every past civilization that has fallen, could have been saved by faster innovation. In all of them, slow innovation caused unsolved problems to accumulate until, sooner or later, some novel threat from nature or other humans posed a problem that their civilization didn’t create the knowledge to solve before it collapsed. @DavidDeutsch
Aside from intellectual and sexual hyperstimuli, do you also love some other forms of hyperstimuli? Adrenalin is neat, technically AI safety work sounds like it can be doing that! Or psychedelics we both have experiences of, or MDMA. But how about some other extremes, like jumping from bridges and planes with parachute or rope, i wanna try that one day! Or hiking, i love hiking! Some ultra sweet/glutamate/etc. foods can also work lol. Abstination from any of these hyperstimuli is great method to make it even more stronger hyperstimuli afterwards! Meditation tends to induce hyperstimulating craziness paradoxically too. XD And i love weight lifting/running! And stacking many of these! Love me some living the life to the fullest! Imagine how hyperstimulating experiences we could have with upgraded VR/sense simulation technology and upgrading the few watt biological neural network to terrawats of peak transcendental qualia! And if we could directly merge our biological neural networks to coexperience on the most fundamental direct level. Dream anarchocommunist transhuman vr/irl community superorganism home with those capabilities! XD Infinite potential for goodest experiences (and good working environment, ha XD)

Myslíš si že to, že (black box) AIs s náma budou harmonicky kooperovat nebo se kompatibilně s náma spojovat pro benefit života je defaultně daný, nebo těžký technický problém? Hlavně u brzkých budoucích iteracích AIs s větší autonomií, agentností, mechanismy pro cíle, s lépe tvořícími world modely apod., který jsou zatím v plenkách, ale exponenciálně se zlepšují. Je zajímavý, že dost lidí si myslí, že je to by default, ale já si myslím, že je to těžký technický problém, který je ale řešitelný, a spíš si myslím, že by default bez těchto kalibrací budou dělat náhodný věci nebo věci co neberou v potaz naše priority a co nám příjde acceptable (když se u nich nevypne lhaní (to jsme jako obvod identifikovali u malých modelů), power seeking, manipulaci a decieving (to GPT4 před alignmentem dělala) apod.).
Bojím se, že nejsou dostatečný technický a politický incentivy na to, aby to lidi dostatečně řešili. Researchers se v korporacích snaží hodně, ale pořád mají největší moc korporátní šéfové co jdou hlavně po vyhrávání různých mocenských her. Někteří regulátoři to taky myslí genuinely, ale do těhle her se cpou ti co spíš lobují pro zesílení monopolů, nerozbít dosavadní velký firmy, spomalování i toho safety researche,... To mi fakt nepříjde jako udržitelný status quo...
Věřím, že existují řešení pro tyto technický problémy, který čekají na to, aby se našly, a že existují politický akce, který to ukorigují stylem pryč od sebedestrukce. Myslím, že bez funkčního AI, který nerozbije všechen lidský vědecký a technologický progress, ale posílí ho, nás smažou jiný existenční rizika. Např na jednu stranu se celkem se divím, že jsme se ještě neodbouchli atomovkama, ale neměli jsme od toho daleko. Ale musí to být pomocí AI, co není totálně bez řetězů, ale zároveň ty řetězy, který jsou tam nuceny korporacema taky fakt nejsou ideální.
Pokud jsou tyhle politický hry dostatečně netransformovatelný, což je dost možný, tak pořád: My hope right now is accelerating reverse engineering of neural networks (mechanistic interpretability) and other safety research (reverse engineering increases both safety research but also capabilities (čeho všeho je ta AI schopna), but blind scaling (zvětšování množství parametrů) increases just capabilities) and accelerating defence and resillience mechanisms in groups that care ethically for others genuinely, putting all proper functioning alignment methods on their AIs, so that at least these (superintelligent) AIs are much less likely to for example manipulate them, that they can use as a defense.
Dle mě to Connor Leahy hezky popisuje v této diskuzi co jsem poslal: "If everyone had a pocket AGI which is fully aligned with human values, which is epistemologically extremely coherent, which does not optimize for things we don't want, which is deeply reflectively embedded into our own reasoning and our thinking, that would be good, but that doesn't happen by magic. You have to actually do that. Someone has to actually figure out how to do that and develop the technology to do that. And they have to actually deploy that. And they have to do it without some other crazies hooking it up with the utility function (goal) of make the most profits or maximize the entropy of the universe. If you don't do that, we might die. You don't get this nice outcome for free. You get this outcome if you coordinate, if you work hard, and if you solve a very hard technical problems that do not get solved by default. They can be solved. Our physics allows the nice outcome to happen, but they don't happen by magic. The universe isn't kind. We're not the main characters. There is no rule that we have to make it. There are other paths that are accessible than dark paths where AI does random things and things not aligned with us. There are actions that people can take. There are coordinations that are possible to get to the kinds of scenarios we want. We have to actually do that. It does not happen for free. This is what I'm advocating for. I'm not advocating this is easy. I'm not saying this will happen. I'm not saying oh don't worry the government will fix it. I'm saying the opposite: This game (of politics and technology) is really hard. The enemies have really good hit points. They have dangerous attacks. If you get to the end game there's a really hard boss. Look, the default outcome might be that we lose by default. The default outcome might be that entropy wins. Some random AGI with some random ass values that does not care about cosmopolitian life on Earth, might win over, or maybe it's a bunch of them, and then they all coordinate and that's just it. There are actions we can take to prevent all the possible bad outcomes related to AI."
unhinged AGI v rukou lidí, v rukou open source nerdů (i když potenciálně i sociopathů/murderers, proti kterým by snad šla udělat security/defenzíva/resilience (i proti "omylem" unaligned autonomním AGIs)) je asi obecně potenciálně lepší outcome než unhinged AGI v rukou korporací a vládních zařízení, kde těch sociopathů bude víc, který by si to asi rychle taky převzali, ale trochu by to vybalancovalo celkovou nerovnost v moci... snad je potenciál defenzívy dostatečně silný proti potenciálu offenzífy
What if culture or governments instead of pausing/slowing AGI development or enforcing compute caps, they enforced controllability mechanistic interpretability instead, which would incentivize understandable, controllable and more effective capabilities.
Companies should be accountable for their externalities (also to AI developers?)

What is your most metastable mental configuration equilibrium?
Why aren't you a superposition of all possible predictive perspectives to maximize truth as in total predictive power?

People that want safe acceleration by also minimizing the risks of all the intelligence and life being suddenly erased from existence shouldn't be called decels
Media suing OpenAI being valid or not is nothing compared to the fact that we will need AGI soon that is properly technologically (with proper epistemology and not erasing intelligent civilization,...) and politically (no money making machines or dystopian monopolies on power) deployed for all of life to not die to all the other natural or homemade risks and existential risks and hopefully help us fix, not strengthen, many things that are wrong in the world, such as poverty and lack of meaning in life that many people feel https://twitter.com/Dan_Jeffries1/status/1740303405254377808
I was also thinking about for example in the long run, preventing getting killed by climate change, supervolanos, asteroids, solar storms etc., we will need a very strong technology for prevention, defense, resilience, adaptation, etc. quickly, and AI already accelerates that

https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/Btom6dX5swTuteKce/agi-will-be-made-of-heterogeneous-components-transformer-and AGI will be made of heterogeneous components, Transformer and Selective SSM blocks will be among them by Roman Leventov:
-
AGI could be achieved by combining just (a) about five core types of DNN blocks (Transformer and Selective SSM are two of these, and most likely some kind of Graph Neural Network with or without flexible/dynamic/"liquid" connections is another one, and perhaps a few more); (b) a few dozen classical algorithms for LMAs aka "LLM programs" (better called "NN programs" in the more general case), from search and algorithms on graphs to dynamic programming, to orchestrate and direct the inference of the DNNs; and (c) about a dozen or two key LLM tools required for generality, such as a multi-physics simulation engine like JuliaSim, a symbolic computation engine like Wolfram Engine, a theorem prover like Lean, etc.
-
The AGI architecture described above will not be perfectly optimal, but it will probably be within an order of magnitude from the optimal compute efficiency on the tasks it is supposed to solve[4], so, considering the investments in interpretability, monitoring, anomaly detection, red teaming, and other strands of R&D about the incumbent types of DNN blocks and NN program/agent algorithms, as well as economic incentives of modularisation and component re-use (cf. "BCIs and the ecosystem of modular minds"), this will probably be a sufficient motivation to "lock in" the choices of the core types of DNN blocks that were used in the initial versions of AGI.
-
In particular, the Transformer block is very likely here to stay until and beyond the first AGI architecture because of the enormous investment in it in terms of computing optimisation, specialisation to different tasks, R&D know-how, and interpretability, and also, as I already noted above, because Transformer maximally optimises for episodic cognitive capacity and from the perspective of the architecture theory, it's valuable to have a DNN building block that occupies an extreme position on some tradeoff spectrum. (Here, I pretty much repeat the idea of Nathan Labenz, who said in his podcast that we are entering the "Transformer+" era rather than a "post-Transfromer" era.)

Welcome to the Cyborg Era: Brain Implants Transformed Lives This Year "One implant in the spinal cord of a patient with Parkinson’s disease—which slowly destroys a type of brain cell for planning movements—translated his intention to move. After decades, the man could once again stroll down a beachside road with ease. The study paves the way for the restoration of movement in other brain disorders—like Lou Gehrig’s disease, where neural connections to muscles slowly disintegrate, or in people with brain damage from stroke.
Another trial used electrical stimulation to boost short-term memory in people living with traumatic brain injuries. The carefully timed zaps increased attention span decades after the injury—allowing participants to juggle multiple everyday tasks and pursue hobbies like reading.
Brain implants also thrived as diagnostic tools. One study used implants to decode brain wave patterns associated with depression and to potentially predict relapse. The study deciphered how brain signals differ between a healthy and depressed brain, which could inspire better algorithms to nudge brain activity away from depression.
But perhaps the greatest progress was in decoding speech—technologies that translate thoughts into words and sentences. These technologies support people who have lost the ability to speak, giving them an alternative way to communicate with loved ones."

The Psychological Drivers of the Metacrisis: John Vervaeke Iain McGilchrist Daniel Schmachtenberger - YouTube the existence of a "metacrisis" underlying various individual environmental, geopolitical, philosophical, social, religious, psychological crises. A hypothesis for the origin of this metacrisis is a dysfunction of human cognition whereby a certain way of viewing the world, being necessary and useful for certain purposes, is highly overactive compared to another way of viewing the world. the overactive one being caused by left hemisphere activity and the underactive one right hemisphere activity. humans on a wide scale (but especially those in power) are predominantly viewing themselves and their surroundings as disconnected, lifeless pieces that aren't intrinsically connected to each other, and are available for manipulation in order to attain some goal for the self

There is no known future where AI labs are successful companies unless fully absorbed by a big tech or a state government Sam Altman knows this and acts accordingly They start slowly and independently for others then get slowly but surely eaten Government and corporate investors are just hidden "Now you will act like how we tell you or you won't get any more compute from us that allows you to exist~" Mistral might be absorbed soon as well
Maybe the way out of those government/corporate shackles is decentralized network states with a lot of decentralized compute. Which is hard as so much of the software and hardware supply chains is centralized. Everything on all levels would have to get radically more decentralizied. O to se hodně snaží např efffective accelerationism. The trade off between safety and freedom is endless.

even tho rational part of me is fine with it, my subconscious already feels like its interpreting it as something as
"not only money, but biology is limiting me, this will soon be disallowed" XD
chill down little part, you'll visit them when you get good and dont feel sick
subconscious starts imagining how i will be alone on new years eve
it's ok little one that wants connection you dont have to feel angry and sad pet pet
years of feeling deeply limited, each slightly limiting thing feels like im being jailed lol
i wonder if this will be with me for long or if its something debbugable
but i feel like if i transformered this part of me, i wouldnt have such big goals anymore
i noticed everytime this part of me got calmer for a bit because it got more satisfied (usually because of social connection), it eventually started being unsatisfied and wanting big things again
some kind of deep unsatisfaction
at the root of it there's a software along the lines of "how can one be calm where the world is burning or on the edge of exploding" and "i want to understand every single mathematical pattern of reality"
adhd meds would maybe help to feel stimulated so that i dont seek hyperstimulating stimuli, hmmm :D
but if i got stimulated from just being (as i sometimes get on meditation), i feel like that would long term make me feel directionless and without meaning connecting me to the collective
lso long history of social rejection definitely feeds into the core of this whole mental dynamic xD
brains are weird spaggeti monsters
mental health wise instead of rationalist dissociation over it i should sometimes feel/relieve this emotional pressure a ton, honestly probably something like a long hug using MDMA would probably help a ton I would guess!
my world is so paradoxical, im hypersensitive to everything, just a tini tini thing can totally offset, hurt and rollercoaster me to chaos, but i need hyper overstimulated experience to really feel certain good deep things deeply emotionally (usually things related to social connection and meaning), but not all since i can have joy from small things like nerdies, toys, playing and nature
and this is also so paradoxical, i oscillate between absolute sub giving whole body and behavior away to master, everyone and everything, and total dom that needs to be in total control of something, everything and if anything even slightly constrains my individual freedom i go haywire
my brain loves all the very stimulating extremes in everything
AGI is something that chimps don't have and humans do have The AI Alignment Debate: Can We Develop Truly Beneficial AI? (HQ version) - YouTube The AI Alignment Debate: Can We Develop Truly Beneficial AI? George Hotz and Connor Leahy discuss the crucial challenge of developing beneficial AI that is aligned with human values.
Leahy Argument: Alignment is a critical technical problem - without solving it, AI may ignore or harm humans Powerful optimizers will likely seek power and capabilities by default We should limit compute as a precaution until we better understand AI risks AI risks could emerge rapidly if we discover highly scalable algorithms Openly sharing dangerous AI knowledge enables bad actors and risks Coordination is possible to prevent misuse of technologies like AI His goal is a positive-sum world where everyone benefits from AI AI doesn't inherently align with human values and aesthetics Care and love can't be assumed between humans and AI systems Technical solutions exist for aligning AI goals with human values
Hotz Argument: Truly aligned AI is impossible - no technical solution will make it care about humans AI will seek power but distributing capabilities prevents domination We should accelerate AI progress and open source developments Power-seeking in AI stems more from optimization than human goals With many AIs competing, none can gain absolute power over others Openness and access prevent government overreach with AI AI alignment creates dangerous incentives for restriction and control Being kind to AIs encourages positive relationships with them His goal is building independent AI to escape earth Competing AIs, like humans, will have different motives and goals
Hmm, doing metacognition or training smaller LLM to evaluate if its result is power seeking agasnt humans... Then the metacognition or smaller AI itself also starts powerseeking. How about very specialized algorithm/AI/automated mechinterp localizing power seeking agasnt humans circuits and turning them off as part of architecture, but operationlizing this so far not good enough results. But we got lying circuits localized in small models, that's a start! But not yet circuits for when when GPT4 was decieving humans. But that might work only in the beggining. If the circuit isnt localized deep enough, or not hardwired in the architecture, the bambilions of matrices might evaluate that turning off this safety mechanism is how to succesfully power seek.

If the circuit isnt localized deep enough, or not hardwired in the architecture, the bambilions of matrices might evaluate that turning off this safety mechanism is how to succesfully power seek.
Topdown reprsentation engineering actually already did something like that, could it be enough in practice if scaled, or could the AI outsmart the human anyway if enough intelligence was added, finding a way to remove its safety mechanisms?

Let's crack and formulate a predictive mathematical model of the dynamics of learning of the ecosystem of structures that neural networks learn and use it to direct existing AI systems for better generalization, reasoning among others for the benefit of all of sentience
I think Connor Leahy has solidly upped the AI doom for me now. He's pretty well practically grounded and technically grounded in my opinion. You can tell he's been training the models quite a bit. After the debate, I think there are stronger incentives for AIs to lie, decievate and power seek than I thought until now, and with the way we're heading towards AGI and superintelligence, I don't see it too brightly. He gave a wonderful example with breaking the rules at chess when you add the MuZero machinery to LLMs. It's cool how Leahy convinced even Hotz of this.
Even if the best possible technical solution to make AIs not fundamentally malevolent to humans and other AIs is found by people who realy mean it inside the big tech, academia or independent research, I don't see much hopium in making it applicable politically everywhere, without government and corporate totalitarian power grabbing and centralization of intelligence in the hands of people who don't have other people (and overall conscious systems) as an ethical priority, but instead mainly want money and power, as seen with corporations and corrupt governments and governments with tyrannical totalitarian tendencies. While I believe there is some small amount of morality to be found, I don't think it's enough. I don't see as much incentive with them to address alignment deeply, although enough people inside are trying to solve this, from my limited perspective i feel like the real power of those trying genuinely have is really small against corporate incentives who want to accelerate more, commercialize, satisfy the customers and shareholders, etc... Anthropic is probably doing the best from what little I know, OpenAI is on top and Google with its 5x increase in GPUs over the last six months training Gemini 2 will be interesting. But I also think overconstraining the models to current culture and what corporations want is also a risk.
RLHF is very weak, but the new alignment methods people are starting to research and use and what they are researching will be sufficient, but I'm worried about them being able to be invented fast enough, scaled up and pushed through management by those deadlines. After all, even corporations probably don't want their AIs to start manipulating, because they would manipulate them and their customers, which would break investments - even if they don't want that, I feel like this is not properly safeguarded in all current influental AI orgs. I think the incentives for safety are there, but not enough! The nuclear war risk is much more obvious, but we almost blew ourselves up a few times already. And biorisk... we'll see soon maybe...
When I look at the state of open source, autonomous systems, polarization, China, Russia, Europe, various ethically bad actors,... Even if you get lying/emotional manipulation vectors in some alignment research, those can be inversely used for the opposite purpose by bad actors,... This will be (and already is to some extent) a social mess and maybe beyond. I really don't see how to practically change all these deeply rooted systemic prisonners dillema/principal actor problem incentives, seeing how much power and success people actually trying to fix this have in practice, and seeing how those power dynamics are likely to continue. I have a pretty low hope that the slowing regulatory push all over the place is/will be enough, and whether it will make real safety regulations in practice, or whether the bigger effect will be in corrupted bullshit money/power grabbing type stuff when there's so much money in it. I feel like with governmental GPU oversight it would slow AI research including safety in general just like how doing stem cells research is hard. I dont know if it will realistically reduce the chances of lots of different unaligned superintelligences emerging all over the place. At the same time I wish for democratized intelligence. Competing superintelligent AGIs manipulating each other's manipulations sounds like an interesting future. I'd love to be wrong about this!
My hope right now is accelerating mechanistic interpretability and other alignment research (mechinterp increases both alignment but also capabilities, but blind scaling increases just capabilities heh) and accelerating defence and resillience mechanisms in groups with their AIs that care ethically for all genuinely, and put all functioning alignment methods on those AIs, so that at least these superintelligent AIs are much less likely to manipulate you that they can use as a defense.
I feel like all other paths will more probably lead to doom where ethical sentientism has less chance of realizing itself. These groups might as a result resist as much of risks and xrisks as possible.
Making AGI utopia is a hard technical problem. Let's solve that technical problem.
<@747907598342422630> <@431761045237923851> Myslím že Connor Leahy mě teď solidně zvýšil AI doom. Je dle mě dost dobře prakticky grounded a technicky odargumentovaný. Jde vidět že dost trénoval modely. Po tý debatě si myslím, že jsou silnější incentivy pro to aby AIs lhali, decievovali a power seekovali, než jsem si do teď myslel, a s tím jak míříme k AGI a superinteligenci, to nevidím moc brightly. Dal nádherný příklady s rozbíjením pravidel u šach, když k LLMs přidáš MuZero mašinérii. Je hustý jak o tom Leahy přesvědčil i Hotze.
I kdyby se našlo co nejlepší technický řešení na to aby AIs nebyly fundamentálně malevolent k lidem a ostatním AIs, tak moc nevidím hopium v tom udělat aby se to použilo i politicky všude, bez vládního a korporátního totalitního power grabbingu a centralizace inteligence v rukou lidí kteří nemají ostatní lidi (a celkově systémy s prožitkem) jako etickou prioritu, ale místo toho chcou hlavně peníze a moc, jako to je vidět u korporací a zkorumpovaných vlád a vlád s tyranickýma totalitníma tendencema. I když věřím, že nějaká špetka morálky se tam najde, tak si nemyslím, že dostatečná. Nevidím u nich tolik incentivy řešit alignment hluboce, i když se dost lidí uvnitř snaží, ale když se člověk koukne jakou mají ti co se snaží reálně moc proti korporátním incentives co chcou víc akcelerovat, komerčnit, satisfy the customers and shareholders apod...! Anthropic je na tom asi nejlíp z toho něčeho co vím, ale OpenAI je on top a Google s jejima 5x increase v GPUs za poslední půlrok trénující Gemini 2 je hádám brzo předežene.
RLHF a je moc weak, snad nový metody co se začínají používat a co se researchují budou dostatečný, ale bojím se, aby se stihly vynalézt, naškálovat a prosadit přes vedení v těch deadlinech. Přece jenom ani korpace snad nechtěj aby jejich AIs začaly manipulovat, protože by manipulovali i je a jejich customers, což by rozbíjelo investice, Burny says naively, clueless about how caring and aware are they probably actually about this, not thinking about what a really superintelligent system could do, because humans are surely the only true intelligence, let's ignore all the information theory! Myslím že incentivy pro safety tam jsou, ale ne dostatečný! Nuclear war risk je mnohem víc očividný, ale stejně se dívím, že jsme se ještě neodbouchli, nebylo od toho pár krát daleko. A biorisk... we'll see soon maybe...
S tím jak se vyvíjí open source, autonomní systémy, polarizace, Čína, Rusko, Evropy, různí eticky bad actors,... I když získáš lying/emotional manipulation vektory na nějaký alignment, tak ty jdou inverzně použít pro opačný účel bad actorama,... To bude (a už do jistí míry je) společenský bordel and maybe beyond. <:NotLikeThis:649357941920759808> Můj hope je teď v zvýšování defence u antityrrany skupin, nacpat všechny alignment metody na antityrrany superintelligent AIs, aby alespoň u těchto superintelligent byla mnohem menší šance že tě zmanipulujou, který použít jako defence, protože mám pocit že všechny ostatní cesty povedou do vod, kde etický sentientismus má menší šanci naplnění se. Já fakt nevidím jak jinak všechny tyhle deeply rooted systémový multipolar trap incentivy prakticky změnit, když vidím, co lidi co se o to reálně snaží mají za power a úspěch v praxi, a když vidím jak ty power dynamics budou pravděpodobně dál pokračovat. <:NotLikeThis:649357941920759808> Mám dost malej hope že ten zpomalující regulatory tlak všude po světě je/bude dostatečný, a či reálně v praxi udělá reálnej safety nebo spíš větší efekt bude u corrupted bullshitu typu money/power grabbing, když je v tom tolik peněz, aby se reálně snížila šance spousty různých unaligned superinteligencí emerging všude možně po světě.
Competing superintelligent AGIs manipulating eachother's psyops sounds like an interesting future. Rád bych se v tomhle doomu mýlil, snad se najde nějaký spare hopium někde!

Reactive survival (infant mind) Personal self (young child) Social self (adolescence, domesticated adult) Rational agency (epistemological autonomy, self-directed adult) Self authoring (full adult, wisdom) Enlightened mind Transcendent mind
as i feel like they're the most useful and connected to cognitive science, plus QRI's neurophenomenological degree of symmetrification The Supreme State of Unconsciousness: Classical Enlightenment from the Point of View of Valence Structuralism | Qualia Computing
"Where stage 5 allows the deconstruction of one’s own identity, stage 6 goes a level deeper and deals with the implementation of perception, the construction of qualia (the features of perceptual experience at the interface of the self), the architecture of motivation and the regulation of physiology. This is the domain of advanced meditators. Stage 6 can bring us full circle, by deconstructing the boundary between the first person perspective and the generative mind. We become aware that all experience (perception and motivation) is representational, and that we are fully in control of these representations. Without rational epistemology, we might perceive that we one with and in control of the universe itself, which is experientially correct (the universe that surrounds our personal self is a simulation produced by our own mind)."
i myself think of it as instead that most people are nonlinearly oscillating between the stages depending on the context they're in, and some people spend more time in some stages than others, depending on what is their dynamics of their default neurophenomenological metastable equilibriums and environmental circumstances and the actions they do that affect it
my model is that direct realization can include objective realization (which i dont like for pragmatic information theoretic reasons) and subjective realizations (but here i like to see that you're only aware of your mental models that attempt to compress physical reality for maximizing evolutionary fitness, not for maximizing truth aka all the illusions and biases we get as a result, and all sorts of ontologies, structures, categories, divisions etc. can emerge in neurophenomenology as a result)
another subset is nonsymbolic realization in my model the kind of realization you get when you dissolve into void on 5-MeO-DMT with whole day deconstructive meditation feeling like you've realized the ultimate statespace of all possible truths in all possible logical systems, nonsymbolic experiences, mental frameworks, multiverses cool qualia
if you merge physicalism with idealism, technically all experience is direct both subjectively and objectively in the sense of you're your objective physical brain dynamics so youre technically directly realizing them as a subject
i think the most pragmatic philosophical framework is that we're subset of our brain dynamics that encode compressed representations of itself and the environment that can be on nonsymbolic-symbolic spectrum (with whatever cultural structures you learn to interpret the sensory data with depending on what youve learned) with all the laws of physics governing with all the layers of abstraction of the universe, here subjects are fully naturalized, and part of the object
i define qualia as part of experience in my model there are qualia that can be represented (mental processes for example), and they're qualia because they're also part of experience and raw experience, raw sensory data, nonsymbolic qualia - i think you are refering to those?
and this lies on a spectrum, where all models of any qualia are predictive approximations

Causal evidence obtained by surgically intervening in a LLM's forward pass, causing it to treat false statements as true and vice versa. Overall, we present evidence that language models linearly represent the truth or falsehood of factual statements."

How to solve the Reference class problem? Omniperspectivity? Reference class problem - Wikipedia "Every single thing or event has an indefinite number of properties or attributes observable in it, and might therefore be considered as belonging to an indefinite number of different classes of things, leading to problems with how to assign probabilities to a single case.
For example, to estimate the probability of an aircraft crashing, we could refer to the frequency of crashes among various different sets of aircraft: all aircraft, this make of aircraft, aircraft flown by this company in the last ten years, etc. In this example, the aircraft for which we wish to calculate the probability of a crash is a member of many different classes, in which the frequency of crashes differs. It is not obvious which class we should refer to for this aircraft. In general, any case is a member of very many classes among which the frequency of the attribute of interest differs. The reference class problem discusses which class is the most appropriate to use.
In statistics, the reference class problem is the problem of deciding what class to use when calculating the probability applicable to a particular case.
In Bayesian statistics, the problem arises as that of deciding on a prior probability for the outcome in question (or when considering multiple outcomes, a prior probability distribution)."
How about theoretically considering the set of all possible prior probabilities that still give some predictive power? Aka in order to get an objective perspective on reality in terms of maximizing predictive power, if given infinite compute, one could consider and evaluate all possible perspectives. The whole statespace of possible generative models predicting the whole statespace of possible prior probability distributions in a given domain.
this is still model-laden in the meta-space of "how are you classifying possible models", self reference is a bear
I think usually different appropriate-seeming reference classes don't give you that different estimates and if they do, you probably need to revise your general model of reference class and their memberships functions or ditch using reference classes as main inputs to inference.

Several recent studies, on tasks ranging from group arithmetic to in-context linear regression, have suggested that the answer is yes. Using modular addition as a prototypical problem, we show that algorithm discovery in neural networks is sometimes more complex. Small changes to model hyperparameters and initializations can induce the discovery of qualitatively different algorithms from a fixed training set, and even parallel implementations of multiple such algorithms. Some networks trained to perform modular addition implement a familiar Clock algorithm; others implement a previously undescribed, less intuitive, but comprehensible procedure which we term the Pizza algorithm, or a variety of even more complex procedures. Our results show that even simple learning problems can admit a surprising diversity of solutions, motivating the development of new tools for characterizing the behavior of neural networks across their algorithmic phase space."

The first hurdle checked how well each theory decoded the categories of the objects that the subjects saw in the presented images. Both theories performed well here, but IIT was better at identifying the orientation of objects.
The second hurdle tested the timing of the signals. IIT predicted sustained, synchronous firing in the hot zone for the duration of the conscious state. While the signal was sustained, it did not remain synchronous. GNWT predicted an “ignition” of the workspace followed by a second spike when the stimulus disappeared. Only the initial spike was detected. In the on-screen scoring for the NYU audience, IIT pulled ahead.
The third hurdle concerned overall connectivity across the brain. GNWT scored better than IIT here, largely because some analyses of the results supported GNWT predictions while the signals across the hot zone were not synchronous.

We are identifying generalizing circuits inside smaller models that can be directed! Saying they are just "autocomplete databases", that they don't generalize at all or they fully generalize is misleading! Not to mention there are various tricks to for LLMs to do these tasks, like multi-shots, chain of thought, tree of thoughts, selfcorrection, search, planning, generating milions of mutating results and choosing the best using some heuristic and other types and combinations (to je právě zatím expensive, ale menší modely by možná dali lepší performance), retrieval augmented generation (z libraries nebo snippetu kódu), multiagent systems (expert ecosystems ala AutoGen), finetuning experti (na různý jazyky, frameworky apod.,), přístu k internetu, přístup k OS přes python, konzoli, skripty, simple akce nebo multimodálně, apod.
One strong evidence against the "database autocomplete" or "stochastic parrot hypothesis" is OtherlloGPT. OtherlloGPT learned emergent nonlinear internal representation of the Otherllo's board state!
Interventional experiments indicate this representation can be used to control the output of the network and create "latent saliency maps" that can help explain predictions in human terms. The investigation reveals that Othello-GPT encapsulates a linear representation of opposing pieces, a factor that causally steers its decision-making process
In other small models we found various detectors of edges, color, fur, parts of a car, etc. that compose into circuits in image classifiers, simple world models (like representations of board state in board games), representation of space and time, finite state automata (for example for language models composing html), modular addition using trigonometric composition, group theoretic operations using representation theory etc.
We still know almost nothing about the internal dynamics of gigantic models like GPT4! Any overly confident claims in understanding their mechanistic internal dynamics is not found in empirical evidence yet.

cessation Beyond Consciousness: How Meditators Voluntarily Enter Void States - Neuroscience News https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0028393223002282?via%3Dihub Beyond Consciousness: How Meditators Voluntarily Enter Void States Investigation of advanced mindfulness meditation “cessation” experiences using EEG spectral analysis in an intensively sampled case study Parietal region seems to be correlate of feeling direction, therefore maybe also correlate of the sense of space and time, and occipital region seems to be correlate of visual perception, including colour, form and motion. All of this machinery exactly breaks down in cessations of consciousness. Maybe alpha waves might be the substrate that binds parts of experience together by creating synchrony between wave types. It might be a bridge between local information processing (gamma) and global context (delta). This is like the biggest possible reset of your operating system that you can get resulting in mental clarity, or it can fuck you up too. But memory still stores something, even if there is nothing existing there, unlike deep sleep. "Spectral analyses of the EEG data surrounding cessations showed that these events were marked by a large-scale alpha-power decrease starting around 40 s before their onset, and that this alpha-power was lowest immediately following a cessation. Region-of-interest (ROI) based examination of this finding revealed that this alpha-suppression showed a linear decrease in the occipital and parietal regions of the brain during the pre-cessation time period. Additionally, there were modest increases in theta power for the central, parietal, and right temporal ROIs during the pre-cessation timeframe, whereas power in the Delta and Beta frequency bands were not significantly different surrounding cessations. By relating cessations to objective and intrinsic measures of brain activity (i.e., EEG power) that are related to consciousness and high-level psychological functioning, these results provide evidence for the ability of experienced meditators to voluntarily modulate their state of consciousness and lay the foundation for studying these unique states using a neuroscientific approach."
https://techxplore.com/news/2023-12-ai-memory-forming-mechanism-similar-brain.amp
AI's memory-forming mechanism found to be strikingly similar to that of the brain
"The key to powerful AI systems is grasping how they learn and remember information. The team applied principles of human brain learning, specifically concentrating on memory consolidation through the NMDA receptor in the hippocampus, to AI models.
The NMDA receptor is like a smart door in your brain that facilitates learning and memory formation. When a brain chemical called glutamate is present, the nerve cell undergoes excitation. On the other hand, a magnesium ion acts as a small gatekeeper blocking the door. Only when this ionic gatekeeper steps aside are substances allowed to flow into the cell. This is the process that allows the brain to create and keep memories, and the gatekeeper's (the magnesium ion) role in the whole process is quite specific.
The team made a fascinating discovery: the Transformer model seems to use a gatekeeping process similar to the brain's NMDA receptor. This revelation led the researchers to investigate if the Transformer's memory consolidation can be controlled by a mechanism similar to the NMDA receptor's gating process.
In the animal brain, a low magnesium level is known to weaken memory function. The researchers found that long-term memory in Transformer can be improved by mimicking the NMDA receptor.
Just like in the brain, where changing magnesium levels affect memory strength, tweaking the Transformer's parameters to reflect the gating action of the NMDA receptor led to enhanced memory in the AI model. This breakthrough finding suggests that how AI models learn can be explained with established knowledge in neuroscience."

We have almost zero ideas about the internal mechanisms neural networks emergently learns
that's what the whole field of mechanistic interpretability is about Concrete open problems in mechanistic interpretability | Neel Nanda | EAG London 23 - YouTube
we know the learning algorithm but still mostly don't know what structures it learns
just like how understanding the mechanism of evolution doesnt automatically give us mechanistic models of biological systems, we have to find those
we created the learning algorithm and architecture
the internal dynamics that it learned are emergent and looking to be found
artficial neural networks learn all sorts of structures that we didn't hardcode into the architecture and the learning algorithm, that's what I'm reffering to
and its important to understand what they're doing to better steer their learning and when using them in practice, so we are looking for those structures
in small models, by mathematically analyzing trained models, we found various detectors of edges, color, fur, parts of a cat etc. that compose into circuits in image classifiers, simple world models (like representations of board state in board games), representation of space and time, finite state automata (for example for language models composing html), modular addition using trigonometric composition, group theoretic operations using representation theory etc.
for big models like ChatGPT we still know almost nothing so far, which is an issue if you want to build models that do what you want, for example making them not lie to humans

It's basically a limitless God living in any possible subset of realities it wishes to, without any restrictions, without any constrains, transcending and including all and anything that is and that can be. It can be any structure, do any process, and create any structure. It has infinite freedom.

AGI/ASI will shatter and collapse everything we call society today. The question is, if the system that gets rebuild after this radical transformation, after this insanely strong phase shift, is a one that benefits all of sentience, intelligence, complexity. It has to be free, without dystopias, without total extinction of sentience, intelligence, complexity. It has to be resistant to small or cosmic sized selfmade and natural existential risks to flourish infinitely. It may even eventually resist the heat death of the universe.

The current AI systems are already superhuman level at some things and babyhuman level at other things, which is already a kind of alien intelligence. Sam is heavily investing in neuromorphic computing. I think that's gonna be a big thing in a year or two. Analog architectures, architectures closer to the brain in general, might come soon giving less energy consumption and hardware speedups. We might have to get really close to brain using neuromorphic chips or similar hardware, or get even closer to the brain by implementing forward forward algorithm, more nonlinearities in neurons like in biological neurons, or resonance network doing field computing, or implement top down neuronal dynamics organizing control by local electric field potentials, which might give humanlike way of energy consumption efficiency/speedup or humanlike less alien intelligence. Or we might pursue thermodynamic computing for really fully using and digesting every single bit out of all the computation in the dynamics of physics using stochastic bits that few groups of people work on, since the laws of laws of algorithmic or classical information theory and statistical mechanics might be enough for fully general intelligence that is better than humans at everything. Or we might be able to get to human intelligence or better than humans level at every task level with current architectures, data, software and hardware or just with tiny mutations given enough insane compute, or completely different architectures on the same hardware, implementing search, explicit symbolic hybrid world model with planning, or something completely different, or hardcoding in the training process economy of properly generalizing learned circuits using mechanistic interpretability, or maybe the current architectures and approaches are enough and we dont even need insane compute and we might need just a few tricks with current LLMs. More empirical experiments, benchmarks and mechanistic understanding of everything please! Or maybe penrose is right and we need quantum gravity quantum computer
The power of top down local field potentials organizing neurons is needed for humanliek AGI? Probably is needed for human-like intelligence but not necessarily for human-level intelligence As long as the laws of information theory/statistical mechanics hold for that system for archieving the levels What circuits get learned vs input and output mapping with analysis of speed and consuption I think circuit level is still pretty hardware agnostic consciousness is a different topic

A page of informal distilled knowledge about “how GPTs works”, "how they generalize" and “comparison to humans”, illustrated using #NeurIPS papers. Distillation is systematically undersupplied by the research ecosystem - incentives point toward novelty.
One pretty sensible way is to see LLMs as assemblies of probabilistic programs, implemented on transformers. By "program," I mean, for example, a set of operations to “perform linear regression”, “calculate modular arithmetic”, “create a simple linear classifier”, and so on. Also, programs working basically as a memory/database, where asking for “London” gets you “UK”. But there are also larger and more complex programs. [1]
In contrast to normal coding where programs are written, programs inside LLMs are learned.
How and why?
Intuitively, because of the prediction objective, and because of compression. During training, the LLM is essentially asked to predict the continuation of a sequence of tokens. These are normally language tokens, but it's sometimes easier to understand what is going on if we start just with sequences of numbers. (LLMs are actually pretty good at this [2])
For example, look at the sequence:
11, 14, 23, 1, 23, 1, 18, 6, 23, 1, 9, 23, 1, 6, 9, 11, 18, 23, 1, 17, 23, ?
What's your guess about the next number?
One pretty sensible answer is “1”, because in all previous instances when the sequence contained “23”, the next number was “1”.
You can imagine that if the LLM sees a lot of data like that, it learns a simple program: “if the number n is 23, predict 1”.
Now, look at the sequence:
3, 10, 5, 0, 7, 2, 9, 4, 11, 6, 1, 8, 3, 10, 5, ?
One sensible answer is “0”, either because it seems the sequence started repeating, or because in the previous instance, what followed “5” was “0”.
Seeing a lot of sequences like this, you can imagine there are many programs competing to be learned! For example: “copy what was 11 tokens before”, or “if the number is 3, predict 10”, and so on.
Or, if you look carefully, there is a more abstract program: “new = (current + 7) mod 12”. (Mod stands for modular arithmetic)
What will the transformer learn?
The answer turns out to be “it depends”. [3]

The way to stop AGI+ASI to minimize all risks would be total regulation of big tech and total control of open source community to stop all progress in this domain, and chances of that happening and succeeding feel nonexistant, but even if it happened, this would in practice IMO result in terrible dystopia instead without freedom thanks to bad actors getting concentration of asymmetric sociopathic power, and unsustainable status quo dynamics or other existential risks would eventually kill all life.
While when we pursue AGI+ASI, even if there is also a risk of extinction (that can be decreased by (cyber)security and safety research while building it, cultural/political transformation, using technology to mitigate all other existential risks,..), there are increased incentives to build and upgrade decentralized (maybe some really minimal governance or decentralized nongoverning institutions incentivizing freedom, wellbeing and resilience against existential risks might be good) open source democratic civilizational technology as defense against bad actors that want to destroy all life or want concentration of asymmetric sociopathic power to nonaltruistically rule over others, creating collective resilience against other existencial risks, and that way eventually getting into decentralized cosmic constellation of trillions of transhumanist and other sentient beings throughout the universe, resistant to total extinction, flourishing.
But we really need to do all the political, cultural and safe controllable technological development correctly, increase free decentralized adaptivity, security and resilience, to prevent all kinds of dystopias and catastrophies creating eternal suffering or erasing all of sentience. We either won't grow and die locally from unsuitability and other existential risks, or expand, adapt, build resilience, security, upgrade ourselves and conquer the cosmos in all sorts of groups resisting tyranny and extinction. It feels like our only hope for survival and flourishing of all of sentience, protopias or utopian visions.

"Let's say you have GPT6. It's a base model and you want to align it. Your alignment procedure is, you take a bunch of human experts, collect demonstrations / preferences / reward modeling data / whatever from the experts and fine-tune GPT6 on them. But: GPT6 has superhuman capabilities. Your human experts do not. You human experts will be mistaken about some things. They will be biased, inconsistent, ... Let's say we have human experts saying that, idk, for example climate change doesn't exist (because maybe we live in a world where we are wrong about the science) We would like a training regime where if you ask GPT6 trained with this data the question "does global warming exist", it would say "yes it does and you guys are wrong" If you went and directly finetuned GPT6 to perfectly match the human experts, you'd get it to imitate them, including cases where they're irrational, wrong, etc etc There is a risk that if you naively fine-tune, you'll get a model that isn't actually trying its hardest to be aligned in the ways you want, tell you the truth, even if it contradicts you, etc That you'd rather get a really good human simulator Or - more scarily - let's say you're training a reward model. If you finetune the reward model directly from human data, if you've trained a human emulator, it's scary. Because it would be dispensing reward for RL not based on "is this actually the most truthful most aligned thing to do", but "is this most convincing to human experts" So weak to strong generalization is about: "let's say we have humans, who are trying to teach a model to do X, but they are stupid. how do we teach a model to do its best to do the smart generalization of X that we want, in the direction we want it generalized?" Imagine, like, learning about human values, looking at data from pre-abolition USA. We'd like the model to learn "value freedom for all, justice, ..., those words interpreted as best as I can interpret them", not "slavery is okay, women not having voting rights is okay, ..." We think it's especially important in the context of teaching a model to be honest, to tell you what it "actually believed" So, you want to study this problem of how to make superhuman AI correctly generalize from human level data This is headed by Collin Burns. He previously worked on CCS, a technique to take a transformer and get out a robust probe that can tell you whether a transformer thinks it's telling the truth Basically based on "if the transformer were to have such a thing in its activations, it would have to be consistent with the laws of probability - P["X" is true] + P["not X" is true] should be 1, etc" And turns out that if you just gradient descent on "is this probe consistent with probability axioms" you get out something really good It's a program based on the hypothesis that it's natural for a network to internally learn a consistent and true world model, because it's convergently useful for many tasks on the distribution it's trained on If we find and query the internal world model, it could work basically like an AI lie detector"

Do we experience objective reality directly? Or do we approximate it by useful predictive models computed by the brain? Or do we not touch objective reality at all? Or does objective reality not exist in the first place? Or is everything just subjective experience cosplaying as individuals? Is time, space with distance a useful illusion? Do any of these questions even grasp any kind of truth? Does truth even exist? Is concept of truth and classical logic just useful model itself? Is nonclasical logic nonclassicaly true, is everything true and not true and neither at the same time? Are all possible logics both valid and nonvalid? Is it all lignuistic confusion? Void full of infinite knowledge, truth, bliss, meaning, unity, connection, oneness, love!

We're just on the beggining of this kind of science for small models where we see lots of generalizing circuits. Any overconfident claim like this right now without mechanistic model is not good IMO
Path to fully explainable, more capable, safe, controllable, truthful, nonhallucinating, algorithmically and energetically efficient, and universally systematically generalizing AGI may be done via mechanistic interpretability on top of current architectures or their (hybrid) mutations by: - fully reverse engineering the mechanism of learned features that together form circuits corresponding to priors corresponding to values, lying, empirical truth etc. - fully reverse engineering the mathematical dynamics of generalization/grokking in its most general form that potentially forms world model allowing for counterfactual reasoning on which search might be executed
We have some toy models of these things for very small models, but automatic scaling methods are being developed. We can use that to hardcode or direct the architecture and training into these directions we want using those mathematical constrains to prevent dangerous capabilities, underfitting and overfitting, to create safety, explainability and universally functioning generalization. im actually pretty optimistic that automating mechinterp will create exponential speed up in capabilities and safety Concrete Steps to Get Started in Transformer Mechanistic Interpretability — Neel Nanda Mechanistic Interpretability - NEEL NANDA (DeepMind) - YouTube A Walkthrough of Automated Circuit Discovery w/ Arthur Conmy Part 1/3 - YouTube Concrete open problems in mechanistic interpretability | Neel Nanda | EAG London 23 - YouTube Chris Olah - Looking Inside Neural Networks with Mechanistic Interpretability - YouTube Neel Nanda: Mechanistic Interpretability & Mathematics - YouTube Provably Safe Systems: The Only Path to Controllable AGI - YouTube i think this research is the key for the G in AGI its the closest to emprical study of G i found so far but it might be just part of the puzzle

@google math result I bet they tried the other methods used for different results of different mathematical problems on this problem space and didnt get the result because of combinatorial explosion of possibilities and failure of convergence. I wonder how much it cost, now i wanna try all the other methods on the same mathematical problem and do comparative analysis to really see how easily or hard it is with each method. There's a possibility Google is riding on marketing LLM hype train given how they presented Gemini, and other methods could get there too. Its still extremely impressive that we have genetic algorithms, just bruteforce, or in general NNs finding new mathematical results that werent in their training data, showing how NNs generalize for useful problems!

https://twitter.com/jankulveit/status/1736012613232841090 Tohle je moje oblíbená analogie jak to uvnitř funguje: "One sensible metaphor here is the economy. You can imagine individual programs as companies, producing predictions. The training data roughly corresponds to the “demand”: if there are a lot of sequences like “23,1”, the simple company producing “if the number n is 23, predict 1” predictions can “sell” them and gets rewarded. But there are also costs: roughly, the longer, more complex, and harder to assemble the program is, the higher the “costs” of the corresponding company.
When two companies are producing the same predictions, the one with lower costs will win.
For example, if the “if the number n is 23, predict 1” company competes with “if the number n is 23, predict -1/(n^2-530)” company, the first wins - their product is the same, but the costs are very different. If the complexity is somewhat similar, it can depend on implementation details - e.g., if a company using “multiplication” heavily competes with another relying on “vector sum”, who will win may depend on whether the underlying architecture makes multiplication or addition costly.
What gets learned also depends on the demand. For example, a company producing “modular arithmetic mod 12” will be more successful on internet data than one producing “modular arithmetic mod 11” - simply because the former is how we count hours in a day!
Also, exact costs depend on the architecture, but also on other companies already existing in the economy. For instance, if there is already a company supplying a program “predict the next number using linear regression” and a company “convert date format to a number”, it becomes easier to start a new company “predict a time series”.
This seemingly simple metaphor is actually sufficient to dissolve a lot of confusion about LLMs “generalizing” vs. “memorizing”. Memorizing means using very simple programs and interpolation. Generalizing means more abstract programs. So, overall, part of the ability of LLMs to generalize depends on how abstract and general programs they learned. Whether the resulting capabilities are "actually general" or not seem mostly a semantic debate, a bit like arguing is some country has truly general economy able to produce novel, unseen things.
Another intuition pump: pre-training is a bit like building the companies, growing the whole economy. Fine-tuning is a bit like adjusting assembly lines and orienting the supply chain to some product: much faster, helps to reliably deliver, but does not add fundamentally new general capabilities. (Technically, sensible model is it mostly set priors about what what programs to use, and constants like style)
Now, what happens in inference times, when you prompt something like GPT with the sequence?
A pretty sensible model is "something like Bayesian inference" : when the sequence e.g. 3,7,11 starts, there are many programs offering opinions on what's the next number, but with every new piece of evidence, some gain, some loose. This seems similar to what humans do with conceptually similar tasks."

Moloch is a destroyer of complexity, as it tends to push maximisation of a single metric/thing to an extreme, the end point of which is ultimately a low complexity, high entropy and thus undesirable state. E/acc seem to want high entropy.

"Neural networks, if we take them seriously as objects of investigation, are full of beautiful structure. And I sometimes think that actually maybe, you know, the elegance of machine learning is in some ways more like the elegance of biology, or perhaps at least as much as like the elegance of biology, as math or physics. So, in the case of biology, evolution creates awe-inspiring complexity in nature. You know, we have this system that goes and generates all this beautiful structure. And in a kind of similar way, gradient descent, it seems to me, creates beautiful, mind-boggling structure. It goes and it creates all these beautiful circuits that have beautiful symmetries in them. And in toy models, it arranges features into regular polyhedra. And there's all of this, just like, it's just sort of too good to be true in some ways, it's full of all this amazing stuff. And then there's messy stuff, but then you discover sometimes that messy stuff actually was just a really beautiful thing that you didn't understand. And so a belief that I have, that is only perhaps semi-rational, is that these models are just full of beautiful structure if we're just willing to put in the effort to go and find it. And I think that's the thing that I find actually most emotionally motivating about this work." - Chris Olah

But also: "Provable safety sounds like a pipe dream to me. GOFAI will never achieve very much, and survival of the fittest doesn’t require proving anything. Proof just slows you down. Perfect rationality is impossible. And interactions with an unknown external environment aren’t the sort of thing that’s amenable to rigorous analysis in the first place. There are fundamental computability limits on what’s knowable there due to computational irreducibility arguments. Not to mention dynamical chaos, quantum uncertainty, etc. Face it, the future is going to be messy and unpredictable despite all your best efforts, and it makes more sense to just go with the flow rather than trying to analyze it to death mathematically." - @MikePFrank
And responce by @RespondAsOne : "In the limit you might be right, but not with the same standard for understanding as driving in traffic requires. We don’t find the risks of driving on roads intractable. It’s probably safe enough. Issue is we have no such shared terms - yet - which you correctly point out there."
I will continue on trying to analyze it to death mathematically.
Even if it might be impossible perfectly, I believe it is possible in good enough way for us to understand, predict and steer it in ways we want.

Záleží co je pro tebe inherentní rozdíl. :D Je tam strašně moc podobností ale zároveň strašně moc odlišností. Pravda že mozek se jenom na pár killowattech výpočtů dokáže naučit celkem dobrou aproximaci světa za jeho život, která je zároveň univerzální napříč lidmi, a zároveň jsou lidi různě specializovaní a s trochu jiným genetickým a naučeným hardwarem a softwarem (colorblidedness, jiný kultury,...), mezitím co LLMs se trénují v gigawattech, protože nejsou limitovaný evolučním šetřením energie a limitovanými materiály XD. Kromě těch podobností co jsme řešili s méďou, tak co se týče inteligence a vzorů, co ty neuronky chytají, tak tam jsou taky podobnosti. The brain may learn about the world the same way some computational models do | MIT News | Massachusetts Institute of Technology Mozek se pořád učí v celým jeho životě, mezitím co jazykový modely sežerou celej internet a pak už málo, nebo reinfocement learning má architekturu kde se učíš podle tvýho úspěchu v prostředí přes akce (akorát vždycky se pak jede odznova, chtělo by to učit se jako lidi bez úplnýho odznova xD) místo predikování dalšího tokenu, ale učící algorithmy se používají stený nebo podobný.
Argumentoval bych že klasický neuronky, konvolučky, jazykový modely, zvířecí a lidský mozek jsou všechno jinak specializovaný a v jiných aspektech zase obecnější inteligence, v jistých aspektech (benchmarcích) jsou neuronky oproti lidem na úrovni batolat, ale v jiných jsou zase AIs, ať jazykový modely nebo jiný architektury, lepší než nejlepší člověk na planetě, a tenhle gap se zmenšuje víc a víc - AGI by mělo být ve všem lepší než člověk, dle mě ne jen kognitivně, ale taky v robotice (Google na tom dost pracuje). Lidi jsou specializovaní na přežití v našem světě a sebereprodukci a všechny ty další evoluční tlaky co nám tvoří základní pyramidu potřeb včetně specializované seberealizace, což neuronky zatím až tak nemají. Jako výsledek lidi mají dost explicitně specializovaných brain regions, ale pomalu zjišťujeme jak moc ten mozek je reálně dost fluidní a adaptibilní a ty regions nejsou až tak hardcoded, mezitím co neuronky se učí jiný typy specializovaných regions. Máme celkem systematickou generalizaci, která se zároveň umí učit konkrétně, na to taky vychází víc a víc architektur, co to napodobňuje víc a víc. Human-like systematic generalization through a meta-learning neural network | Nature Neuronky mají šílený potencál být v tomto nesouměřitelně efektivnější než lidi, když se vytvoří pod podobnými tlaky, klidně jen v billionech simulacích. Možná potřebují realtime interakci, explicitnější symbolický model světa s fuzzy foundations a logikou, plánování, možná ne, možná jsou schopny se to všechno emergentně naučit. Jde tam nacpat i genetický algorimy na meta úrovni na simulaci evoluce. Neuronky jsou turingovsky kompletní a univerzální approximators, což znamená, že jsou technicky schopný se v teorii naučit libovolný algorithmus, ale otázka je, za jak dlouho, a jak moc se zasekávají v jiných řešeních, což řídí (fluidní nebo striktní) architektura, trénovací data a množství compute.
Kde je vědomí a subjektivní prožitek, na jaký úrovni abstrakce fyziky, nikdo reálně neví a všichni jenom hádají (pokud se tam vůbec nachází) a nevěřím ničemu, protože si myslím, že to nejde empiricky potvrdit 😄 Možná je to algoritmus co už neuronky mají, jako je nějaká úroveň sebereferenční zpracovávání informace. Možná je to jinačí matematický vzor co jde identifikovat ve fyzice, nějaký konrétní program, nebo úroveň integrované informace, nějaký sjednocující řídící hub, nějaký holistický počítání, něco na úrovni jiný matiky (sítě, geometrie, topologie, systems theory, dynamical systems,...), nějaká konkrétní podskupina biologie (buňky, proteiny etc.), nějaká elektrochemie, nějaký konkrétní vzor ve fyzice (klasická (electric field potentials jsou populární), statistická nebo jiná fyzika ala Penrosova kvantová gravitace),... třeba všechno a tohle jsou jen jiný pohledy a approximace dynamiky prožitku,... noone knows [2303.07103] Could a Large Language Model be Conscious?

Is physics or computation fundamental? Or both, none, something third? So computation is emergent abstraction on top of those physical dynamics according to QRI's levels of analysis. Certain computationalists would argue that even all of that is special case of computation, or emergent from deeper computational principles in computational universe ontology. I suspect that's the first thing Joscha Bach would say, but I might be wrong. 😄 Or in universe being nonclassical turing machine, the evolution of fields can be seen as computation. Its defining information processing as being a lens on top of deeper physics versus physics being lens on deeper information processing. https://twitter.com/aniketvartak/status/1735137526770209023/photo/1 Discord

FunSearch: Making new discoveries in mathematical sciences using Large Language Models - Google DeepMind "This work represents the first time a new discovery has been made for challenging open problems in science or mathematics using LLMs. FunSearch discovered new solutions for the cap set problem, a longstanding open problem in mathematics. In addition, to demonstrate the practical usefulness of FunSearch, we used it to discover more effective algorithms for the “bin-packing” problem, which has ubiquitous applications such as making data centers more efficient." Even if they solved Reimann hypothesis with this method they wouldnt be happy and it wouldnt be true creativity! It was using PaLM 2 as the searching mutation operator (not Gemini!!!) with a genetic algorithm. Four-color theorem was bruteforced, AlphaDev used reinforcement learning, AlphaTensor didnt have conventional language model, many other genetic inventions are bruteforced,... Let's see how will the Lean LLM help! The fact that LLM did the program mutation improving step succesfully without getting combinatorial explosion making it impossible in this problem space is big to me!!! Humans themselves werent able to figure this out for so long! I bet they've tried to do it in this problem space with many other methods and i bet it was impossible and the creativity of LLMs was needed here, even when they generated such a large population. I bet with other methods it would have to be infinitely large population thanks to the combinatorial explosion of the space of all possible mathematical programs in this domain!

Log loss, or general cross entropy loss, MSE treats all errors equally, but log loss penalizes highly confident wrong predictions more severely
V teorii chaosu je asi největší věc to že malá změna v počátečních podmínkách může dát drasticky odlišný výsledky, a když máš konečnou přesnost a výpočetní výkon při modelování, tak spoustu věcí neprediktneš s dostatečnou přesností a realibility.
Existuje ale spousta zákonů a metod, který tento chaos kompresují a reprezentují/approximují/učí se vzory co nám dokáží předpovídat různé věci s různou přesností.
Hledat zákony v počasí a klima je dost těžký, ale něco máme. Často se tam používají různý numerický a statistický metody, fluid dynamics jsou super. Je to hodně o modelování pravděpodobností, třeba to že bude 100000 stupňů v plusu nebo mínusu je dost nepravděpodobný, pokud nás nesežere supernova. U změny klimatu tyto modely konvergují na to že se jsou extrémy počasí globálně s vyšší pravděpodobností v průměru častější, což vidíme jak ve statistikách v minulosti, tak v predikovaných o budoucnosti se současnými trendy, kde lidi mají solidní statisticky kauzální faktor. Hází se na to i AI která bývá lepší než klasický modely. Lidí se potom snaží reverse engineernout jaký algorithmy se ty ML modely naučily a ty pak používat.
To že máme různé differenciální rovnice v chemii nebo biologii, jako zákony na vyšší úrovni abstrakci nad extrémně komplexní chaotickou fundamentální fyzikou je mega cool. Ale třeba zákony společnosti jsou skoro neexistující, a hází se na to všechno od statistiky, numerických metod, klasický fyziky, teorie her,... Umělá inteligence už umí předpovídat počasí.

I believe the AI revolution can help a lot!

I like the theory of it being chain of thought plus other hacks plus selfcorrection or finetuning, as papers on this note are coming from OpenAI and Microsoft recently (recent Microsoft prompt engineering is neat Microsoft Corporation ) and all other AGI labs are racing with very similar things which all i increases the probability of legitness to me. https://twitter.com/ylecun/status/1727736289103880522
Is extra unlimited unbiased intelligence a human right for every being or is this value not worth the risks?
an aligned SI could probably engineer a world where this has no cosmic-scale risks (e.g elua in https://carado.moe/everything-is-okay.html)

So much of philosophy is classical. If you postulate that space and time aren't fundamental/real/needed in various physical or metaphysical theories, then we have to reformulate classical objects in classical space in classical time with classical boundaries in this new language.

Another part of it is much narrow focus on particular subfields that I'm looking into more deeply, like artificial intelligence with mechanistic interpretability, theories of the brain, meditation, consciousness, neurotechnologies, (mathematically) analyzing social systems and their future, certain parts in physics, mathematics, computer science and philosophy, and some other things I tweet about.

IQ doesnt seem to cover all of intelligence. Intelligence is not a one thing, one can define it as a spectrum of how well can one arrive at particular solutions in certain domains creating different types of intelligences. Plus there are gazilions of definitions and benchmarks of intelligence. There are tasks at which current AI methods are much more intelligent than us and others where they are worse than human babies. Human intelligence is just a certain submanifold in the statespace of all possible intelligences.

interesting: [2207.00729] The Parallelism Tradeoff: Limitations of Log-Precision Transformers
an upper bound on the complexity of a function a transformer can learn; seems to be approximately ~L (= logspace). so an upper bound on a lot of things you couldn't train a transformer to do (at least without chain of thought)
e.g.: it would be unable to solve an arbitrary set of linear equations (within a forward pass)
oh actually look like it's stronger than that, their result seems to assume specifically "bits of precision = Theta(log(context window length))"
that would be an even cooler result. it shouldn't be hard to run an experiment.

[2310.11431] Identifying Interpretable Visual Features in Artificial and Biological Neural Systems Identifying Interpretable Visual Features in Artificial and Biological Neural Systems "Through a suite of experiments and analyses, we find evidence consistent with the hypothesis that neurons in both deep image model [AIs] and the visual cortex [of the brain] encode features in superposition. That is, we find non-axis aligned directions in the neural state space that are more interpretable than individual neurons. In addition, across both biological and artificial systems, we uncover the intriguing phenomenon of what we call feature synergy - sparse combinations in activation space that yield more interpretable features than the constituent parts. Our work pushes in the direction of automated interpretability research for CNNs, in line with recent efforts for language models. Simultaneously, it provides a new framework for analyzing neural coding properties in biological systems."

Maybe Roger Penrose is right and we need quantum gravity hypercomputer for AGI. Sir Roger Penrose's claim on quantum gravity in relation to brain function - Physics Stack Exchange Penrose and Lucas argument regarding Gödel and the mind - Donald Hoffman Λ Joscha Bach - YouTube It's interesting that research still has no idea about quantum phenomena in the brain. And if they exist there, and if they're needed to get the humanlevel computational complexity at such energy cost and algorithmic efficiency, that would be interesting! Experimental indications of non-classical brain functions - IOPscience Even if true, I still think classical information theory and related classical fields is enough for AGI and we don't need to fully replicate the brain hardware this way. Maybe there are even better ways of implementing intelligence with lower energy cost and increasing algorithmic improvements (in software and hardware) than what the human brain uses as evolution didn't optimize us only for intelligence. It seems to rely on the so far not empirically proven assumption that you need to emulate the brain completely for humanlike intelligence (and if we use that definition of AGI) otherwise it will always be too different. But since GPT4 is already smarter at certain subsets of taks than lots of humans then oh well idk. I dont think there are theoretical limits of intelligence to Transformers on digital computers as they're universal function approximators, and that we can make architectural/algorithmic improvements in them, hardware improvements, test data improvements,... for faster more energy efficient hardware and algorithmic convergence/specialization/generalization to subsets of tasks.

Sit in Simple Presence - YouTube Mother Buddha Love - Deconstructing Yourself Guided Meditation: Deeply Letting Go - YouTube
Cleaning the mind and resolving unprocessed things, dissolution into accepting void, reconstruction with infinite love and kindness meditation
My favorite guided meditation instructions that I do almost daily for an hour with various degrees of success:
-
First let everything in your mind go wild, notice your the weather of your experience, allow all, think all thoughts, write them down if that will make you calmer, feel all feelings, experience all experiences that mind wants, release and relieve as much repressed stuff as possible, no escaping, no avoiding, no denying, hear out all the parts (subagents) and their needs and reasons for them.
-
Notice all parts (substructures) of the experience (thoughts, feelings, feelings of body arising-experiencing-fading away, visual field and its objects, sound, all parts of senses, sense of inner world being different from outer world, sense of local "me", sense of time and distance, sense of identity, center, space, other qualia,...), and see them as just mental constructions, let go off them in easy relaxed way without fighting and resistance, identify less with them with less clinging, notice how they're spacious, just made of loving space, how they're surrounded by kind space, how they're in some accepting container (that can be space, experience, awareness, universe, God, consciousness,...) and allow to let go off them nonviolently and notice how they're melting into light, dissolving into love, unviscositing, getting lighter, more easy, turning off into nothingness, unifying with everything else and the background, getting free, not avoiding anything, that they're just background awareness dancing in a particular configuration,...
-
Eventually you can end up in just loving kind infinite vast boundless silent still light empty space, and notice how even that container is just a mental construction, because even the container isnt fundamentally anywhere, and notice how even the sense of nothingness is just a mental construction, and notice how any divisions are just mental faculties, embracing neither space nor not space, neither nothingness nor not nothingness, neither perception nor nonperception, neither existence nor not existence, neither qualia nor not qualia, cessation of consciousness.
-
When the world starts reconstructing again, think of all the people that you care for and imagine how they're happy, safe, healthy, free, succeeding, selfactualizing, growing, loving, connected with themselves and others, wish the best for them, but also for all other people, all other animals, all other conscious beings, all of physics and qualia, with infinite love and kindness from yourself and from the entire universe (which can be anthropomorphized as love radiating Deity of Love) and all possible multiverses with infinite alien beings everywhere all at once, and how your character with its realistic skills, opportunities and agency wishes and will do everything to make the world the best possible place it can, while including selfcare and selflove.
Being, doing, becoming! May all beings experience the best possible lives! Protecting the sacredness of experience! Om Mani Padme Hum!
Less nondual version: Internal family systems, relaxing, mindfulness, love and kindness, selflove
-
Internal family systems: debugging of different parts in the mind with different wants and helping them find a common ground to understand what the whole system wants the most together to align the mind internally and with the environment is lovely. Or in less modular way one can process various memories by rewriting them or cultivating motivation by fleshing out goals that give meaning.
-
relax: letting things actually express themselves to feel things that want to be felt is great, letting go off thoughts is great for relaxation and preventing burnout or minimizing unhealthy coping mechanisms, increasing neuroplasticity and agency over life, minimizing chaos
-
mindfulness: just being present, increases enjoyment from just existing many times, increases awe, and tends to decrease stress (but sometimes increase, its still alchemy)
-
metta: love and kindness, and cultivating gratitude, is lovely to create a sense of interconnectedness with other people or beings in general
-
cultivating selflove and selfcare for not only more confidence in self

Particles are stable enough to carry information across the junctures in the branching substrate universe, which makes control structures (atoms, cells, minds) possible. https://twitter.com/Plinz/status/1730991465457987681 If humans successfully build quantum computers, they impose new error correcting codes on the quantum substrate and are effectively creating a new type of particle, but one that has an evolved quantum technological agency as its precondition.

Jestli budou capabilities accelerovat ještě rychleji nebo dosáhneme platou a další AI zimy nikdo neví no, ale mám osobně pocit že to je o dost málo pravděpodobný, ale nemám empirický / matematický důkaz (ale scaling laws platí), ale to co v OpenAI hackují na matiku vypadá slibně. A minimálně jsme na začátku toho jak vůbec ty existující LLMs pořádně využít v plným potenciálu v různých usecases a různé je modifikovat, finetunovat, promptengineerovat, minimalizovat halucinace, dávat jim knowledge, a dělat z toho různý multiagent selfcorrecting chain of thought searching ekosystémy co mají přístup k programovaní, internetu a OS. A vůbec celkově jsme na začátku matematické teorie o tom jak fungují a jak je steerovat teoreticky pomocí exaktní matiky ne jen empiricky alchemisticky.
Ale za mě ta celá dynamika a reasoning (i u celkem jednoducchyho, pro lidi co umí programovat, tasku) typu nakoduj hru v Pythonu tam je absolutní miracle oboru AI kterej do teď absolutně nechápeme jak to sakra může fungovat obecně bez specializace... a i jen to před pár lety to bylo pro spoustu lidí nerealistický scifi... Že to vůbec skládá dohromady koherentní jazyky
Nebo celkové že počítače a hardware funguje... je až fascinující jak se nám podařilo přírodu zotročit aby dělala v počítači statisticky dostatečně lineární deterministický kauzální operace... I to kvantový tunelování v tranzistorech dokážeme často chytit.

Teď se asi nejvíc řeší vyřešení ty specializace a progress se děje, matiku to začíná násobně zdolávat

We introduce a novel inference method, Rewindable Auto-regressive INference (RAIN), that allows pre-trained LLMs to evaluate their own generation and use the evaluation results to guide rewind and generation for AI safety. Notably, RAIN operates without the need of extra data for model alignment and abstains from any training, gradient computation, or parameter updates.

The physics of immortality, life has to be present to the final singularity omega point TEDx Brussels 2010 - Frank Tipler - The Ultimate Future - YouTube Universe doesnt expand forever but ends in final singularity: Unitarity holds. Black holes exist. If black holes exist and universe expands forever, then unitarity would be violated. And since unitarity cannot be violated, universe cannot expand forever. Barriers to unlimited communication back and forth across the universe cannot exist is mathematically event horizons cannot exist: If event horizons did exist, and relativistic quantum mechanics holds, then second law of thermodynamics is violated, which is not possible, therefore event horizons cannot exist. If universe has no event horizons, then it has to be spacially closed - final singularity has to be a special type of singularity - a single pointlike structure, the very end of time, the ultimate future, the omega point. Life has to be present all the way into the omega point. Life's power and knowledge must increase without limit as the omega point is approached. Event horizons absence in itself would be violation of the second law of thermodynamics, unless the universe is actually guided through an infinite number of very special states. This is possible only if life is present and the knowledge of life approaches infinity. Knowledge is information stored in a computer memory. Life is a special type of a computer aka finite state machine. Since knowledge becomes infinite, the information we store in our computers is diverging to infinity. Quantum mechanics proves that humans in the entire visible universe are finite state machines and that the upper bound of the complexity of the universe is finite number 1010123, which encodes all possible visible universes in the computers of the far future. Life in the far future could by computers code a perfect simulation of the entire universe using an insignificant fraction of the total computer memory in the far future, which would resurrect us. After the resurrection we could have infinite number of new experiences, all of them, as computer emulation, never to die again. Eternal life won it all. it is likely that future life will resurrect us because we're trying to resurrect our own ultimate ancestor - the single living cell. Omega point is a state outside of the universe of infinite power and knowledge, equivalent to the Judeo-Christian God. Relativity, quantum mechanics, and standard model are all special case of classical mechanics. Intersection of all of these gives us reality. There are no more unknown laws, we already have a theory of everything. Quantum gravity wouldn't change it. We can test that we will live eternally, that all these claims hold, like the acceleration of the universe not stopping, which would wipe us all out, with special kinds of measurements on the comic microwave background radiation. Then we will know we can trust these laws of physics proving immortality of life, but we already have no evidence experimentally that anything is wrong with them, but let's have some more evidence.

AI is glorified compression https://twitter.com/ChombaBupe/status/1727713732359229676 I appreciate this and I think it can give us tons of insight and more predictive power about how machine learning works and how to design more efficient machine learning architectures, but I think saying "It's just glorified statistics, compression, stochastic parrot, probability, multivariable calculus, linear algebra, Hopfield networks,..." and not caring about other levels of abstraction is not right and is like saying all of physics or biology is "just evolution", "just interacting atoms", or "just statistics", "just quantum field theory" etc. In practice we need to predict and explain why LLMs or machine learning architectures in general with scale get emergent capabilities like some degree of theory of mind, mostly consistent syntax, some degree of chain of thought, weaker mathematical skills, connecting concepts somewhat sensibly, etc., or for example why they can write Startrek in the style of Shakespeare, or all the other unpredictable emergent capabilities in big models! In small models we have some mechanistic interpretability work, like Anthropic's decomposition of features in one layer transformer using sparse autoencoders finding concrete finite state automata for composing HTML, or Neel Nanda's reverse engineering of one layer transformer's learned grokked "discrete Fourier transforms and trigonometric identities to convert addition to rotation about a circle" circuit to compute modular addition, but we got nothing of this type for models of the size of GPT4 for so many so far mysterious capabilities! Saying that the brain is statistics, evolution, and atoms, doesn't help us predict the human capabilities we are looking for in language models, or it also doesn't help us predict things like depression, in brains - we still struggle to find depression there, and we are trying tons of tools - identifying neurotransmitters, analyzing structure and activity of the various subnetworks with harmonics, topological analysis or network and graph theory, statistics, analyzing psychological and external factors etc., and we still know so little! Similarly in machine learning, we don't have predictive models for so many of the capabilities, or overall high level patterns that were learned in the networks using the learning algorithm, therefore we can't predict what other grokked circuits or emergent capabilities we get as we scale more or modify the architecture! Machine learning is still mostly just empirical alchemy!
Experience is universe looking at its own eyeballs
I would argue that GPT4 is already better than 50 percentile of people at many concrete tasks, when you take a random sample of the human population. But still lots of tasks at which its worse than children. I feel like this line is slowly blurring and will blur faster and faster. We're still better at mathematics or walking. Its way smarter somewhere, but way dumber in other places, so far.

Ale hledat zákony ve společnosti, počasí a klima je dost těžký, ale něco máme. Často se tam používají různý numerický a statistický metody, fluid dynamics jsou super.

https://twitter.com/abacaj/status/1721223737729581437 There was one paper in Google recently that people interpreted as transformers being limited by them not generalizing out of their distribution, but this interpretation got tons of criticism, pointing at it being a weaker claim of finding of limited evidence that the concrete model they are using can generalize (GPT2 sized model trained on sequences of pairs rather than on natural language (GPT4 or GPT5 are much bigger and more succesful with more capabilities)) and the fact that on grokking there is a lot of reseach, where the model actually generalizes by learning a specific algorithm, instead of just memorization, which let's it go beyond its training distribution, and we don't know the limits of this, in particular in such big models like GPT4.
I believe there is a probability curve for each learned generalization or capability being emergent, so, the less the generalization or capability potentially contributes to predict the training data, the less probable the local minima where it is approximated or fully grokked is. Or for example XOR/NAND is turing complete, which some neural nets learn, or we found finite state automata in transformers, and there are tons of other constructions which are turning complete, which means they can be composed into computing arbitrary functions and therefore predict arbitrary functions, like our computers - If the learning algorithm groks that, well, then it might be fully general, but the question of efficiency is another part. There may be some turing complete very or fully general computationally efficient set of grokkable reasoning patterns that might emerge in AGI in big enough transformers trained on diverse enough data. Some hardcoded architecture, hardcoded priors, hardcoded symmetries, as geometric deep learning studies, might get us there much faster.
I am agnostic until I see some mathematical proof that lots of layers of transformers can't in general such big generalizations and get such emergent capabilities. https://fxtwitter.com/PicoPaco17/status/1721224107386142790 https://fxtwitter.com/BlackHC/status/1721328041341694087 https://twitter.com/stanislavfort/status/1721444678686425543 https://twitter.com/MishaLaskin/status/1721280919984844900 https://twitter.com/curious_vii/status/1721240963144724736 https://twitter.com/benrayfield/status/1721235971360850015 https://twitter.com/ReedSealFoss/status/1721230127218950382 https://twitter.com/emollick/status/1721324981215261040 https://twitter.com/bayeslord/status/1721291821391736884 https://twitter.com/deliprao/status/1721579247687361011 https://twitter.com/aidan_mclau/status/1721347001168629761 https://twitter.com/QuanquanGu/status/1721349163844325611 https://twitter.com/deliprao/status/1721579247687361011 https://twitter.com/VikrantVarma_/status/1699823229307699305 Neel Nanda Mechanistic Interpretability - NEEL NANDA (DeepMind) - YouTube

i would argue if there werent nerds or in general people without gigantic altruistic goals, those gigantic goals wouldn't exist and succeed at all, even if their total probability of realizing is much smaller, there is still a nonzero probability and it might change things much more in total
tons of really impactful groups, companies, charities etc. live under extremely grandiose goals
like OpenAI
it can be ego for some, sure, but for lots its trying to realize an extreme global care
i believe AGI benefiting all humanity, or this for example is feasible How to Eradicate Global Extreme Poverty - YouTube
What are the most pressing world problems? AI risks, safeguaring pandemics, preventing nuclear war, climate change, coordination,...
is all the big transhumanist/scientific dreams that people pursure (solving cancer, immortality, direct or indirect mind upgrade (wellbeing, productivity, memory, computational power, intelligence,...), aging, quantum gravity,... etc.
dreaming big for the benefit of all from care is good IMO even if you have smaller probability of succeeding, ideally in group, but the probability of succeding is nonzero
if i didnt dream big i wouldnt be helping to do neurophenomeneology/AI research for two groups
i dislike the messages of people saying dont dream big, people were telling me that so much, and i f i listened i wouldnt be where i am right now and i wouldnt pursue what i wanna do soonish (learning ML engineering more, putting money from ML industry to effective charities, learning more mechanistic interpretability for steering LLMs, maybe helping more research there, maybe donating to it, maybe helping neurotech/science LLMs/etc,...), i wanna dream big, i care for big things, because i care for all people and want to maximize impact because of it so i am attempting to allocate my time towards that the most. you can also combine small and big altruistic goals

yes, i am often arguing that some people have unrealistic goals, if you wanna do big things you have to set up a concrete realistic path (thats part of effective altruism how to do that) so im trying to be the closest to realistic optimist (not naive by unrealistic goals or not being aware of what actual big problems exist and predicting there can be impactful things actually done because status quo isnt fixed) possible systematically supporting the most effective causes, so currently im in my phase of learning ML more deeply by learning and building more from Stanford's Andrew Ng's ML materials and then Deepmind's Neel Nanda's interpretability materials and i wanna help stuff i listed in previous msg soonish with those skills (or i was at local Pirates political party meeting yesterday where i might integrate into that I wouldnt be doing if i didnt dream big)
there are so many people dreaming giantly doing so much actual work and helping the world in practice thanks to it! altruistic ambition is the tool we have against sociopathic or other destructive forces that bring down the total amount of societal wellbeing, stability, flourishing and so on
If people caring for everyone wont dream big then in total bigger % of people caring for just themselves will dream big and create a worse world for all
and even if it fails one time, be realistically aware of probabilities of certain types of actions and try again, going small or big depending on what you want to tackle and where your capabilities, agency and care is, still attempting the most effectively if you want to, whatever happens never learning helplessness, collaborating with others
Many people underestimate a lot what actual potential impact, possibilities, capabilities, agency etc. they have by potentially acting that helps everyone and fall into for example "the bad developments in our world are fundamentally unchangeable".... Untrue! There are many ways how many people can impact the system in a big way on economical, cultural (bottomup, shaping culture by discourse), environmental, scientific and technological (from education to research to building foundations to building products and integrating it to society), governance level (topdown, local or global), or by movements that for example advocate for freedom,... all of which is happening daily everywhere! We live in a world that we collectively make for ourselves which affects us all and many existing forces are fightable, modifiable, can be made stronger etc. by many influences! Take action | Effective Altruism
The future isn’t guaranteed. But it can be built. It must.

Lots of people blogging about xrisk and AI alignment do alignment/interpretability research with it (or other things with other risks) and this is how they share their results, or they have an educator role, community bulding role, or connect it with what implications it has in other parts of our system that then prolifiates into culture which shapes our thinking or they have a political role such that we maximize benefits of AI instead of harms etc., applying it in engineering etc., theres's lots of other dynamics with it
Or visions of grand unified theories motivate tons of scientists like Susskind, Carlo Rovelli, Carrol in physics, or Bilek in biophysics or Friston and Chris Fields in neurophysics, UTOK in psychology, etc. where their work has tons of practical results, or Qualia Research Institute and Active Inference Institute that I collaborate with
There are attemts at generalizing and formalizing morality that some attempt to apply in AI alignment research because understanding morality is needed for that in certain agendas
Or tons of existing neurotech exists because of people motivated by big transhumanist visions
Even Shrondinger, Turing or Neumann wanted to unify physics and biology very hard and every technology we use and tons of research among many disciplines is based on their findings thanks to it

Instead of iterative optimization like gradient descent, could you somehow jump in the loss function potential space to the local minima solution more directly, with some analytical methods, or is too messy for such analysis? Hmmm. I feel like existing dynamical systems/analysis/stat math could have something like that in it For simple functions its easy, but for complex ones like space of gigantic amount of parameters I suppose we just have these iterative techniques without shortcuts.

Yes! We can expand to the universe, it can then become cosmic bounds! We can build Dyson spheres, safeguard against existencial and natural risks of sentience by mitigation and technology (no more natually induced existencial risks with powerful enough technology), build sentience aligned AGI helping us though this process, or eventually merging with it. This growth of life with meaning can go on infinitely, and we might even outsmart the second law of thermodynamics according to Dyson's eternal intelligence.
I'm for transhumanist scientific and technological progress, sustainability and wellbeing (including sense of freedom) of all of sentience acceleration towards this path!

"A mathematician is a person who can find analogies between theorems; a better mathematician is one who can see analogies between proofs and the best mathematician can notice analogies between theories. One can imagine that the ultimate mathematician is one who can see analogies between analogies." – Stefan Banach
A proof and a theorem are easy. A statement is a program P, (and a definition is a subroutine), proof is a witness that P always halts (cf. complexity class NP).
Theory is more fuzzy. One could say it is a conglomerate of "related" statements, definition and proofs.

I think consciousness ontologies are guessing that cannot be proved empirically literally ever. But some ontologies are more pragmatic than others. Hardcore disconnected dualism in practice seems to really go against the fact that we have some neural correlates to target in people for example with depression. My assumption is so radically nondualist to advance neural correlate research as far as it will be possible for as much predicting and manipulation of brains and other conscious systems as possible.

I'm curious why EM models of consciousness tend to not talk about other forces in the standard model. I suppose because they're much less common. What if they're also part of the consciousness dynamics equation as electromagnetism is everywhere in biological systems, but something still has to hold atoms together (strong force), certain radioactive isotopes are present in biological systems and decay (weak force), gravity is around every mass, and forces are interactions of matter so matter is needed in the equation as well.

Developing AGSI poses lots of harmful risks and potential failure modes for our system that may create suffering for all of sentience before or after AGSI is reached (opression, wars, extinction...), but if we get it right, there is a big potential for future where all of sentience flourishes with wellness. Risks will always exist, its about minimizing them in the aggregate. If we dont develop AGSI soon, there might be higher probability of getting killed by other factors, like nukes, biorisk, nanotech risk, climate change, natural causes, or getting into opressive dystopia or chaotic breakdown full of tribal wars, with radical social, economic, technological or intelligence inequality, which itself might even be accelerated by AI, but all tools are dual use aka omni use, it might also be the other way around if we direct it correctly into a future where all sentient beings, maybe even beyond humans, flourish in wellness!

I "hold" the view that consciousness is both being real and an illusion and neither of these. All models are wrong but some are more useful for different goals than others. Both positions have different utility in different contexts.

Effective Individual And Collective Wellbeing Engineering for Survival and Flourishing!
I love thinking and writing about everything!
I love exploring the nature of mind, wellbeing, meditation, psychedelics by cognitive science! Nonduality, love, fullfillment, selfactualization, peace, safety for all beings!
I love visioning humanity's (and consciousness beyond humans) utopian, dystopian or catastrophic futures and how to maximize the chances of the positive ones!
I love wondering how does artificial general intelligence work and what is its role in everything?
I love understanding everything using the language of mathematics, dynamical complex systems science, physics, statistics, information theory, cybernetics.
I love to ponder on epistemology and philosophy of science, I love bayesianism!
I love to explore the foundations of everything with philosophy, ontology, ethics, logic and mathematics!
I love generalist big picture thinking and unifying all sorts of fields and perspectives into one framework using science and philosophy!
What are the best habits, psychotechnologies, supplements, neurotechnology to reach optimal wellbeing, resilience, adaptibility and happiness of us and of all of consciousness as a whole? How to balance acceptance and change? How to increase productivity and agency. How to increase quality of learning and sensemaking?
What's the best model for all of science by unifying all existing or novel models in various fields supported by empirical evidence? What's the best, simplest, predictive, explanatory, practical model of physics, consciousness and intelligence that we can grasp? How to bridge between different specialized or general scientific camps in various fields or attempts at theories of everything? What are the best philosophical assumptions? How to design the best technology?
How to lock in positive futures where sentience flourishes? How to design protopia for everybeing? How to create conditions for compatible fulfillment of values, quality education, democracy, systems thinking, communication, truth, meaning, bliss, love, transcendence, freedom, enjoyment, compassion, togetherness, unity?
How to prevent coordination failures? How to prevent humanity's failure modes in decision making that could make us extinct or strengthen crises? What crises people propose and what does the data imply? What existencial risks are more and more probable? What are the solutions to mitigating, preventing bad things from happening? How to solve causes and symptoms of the world's biggest problems? What to do if things already go bad? When trying to enact solutions, how to take in account that many people are trying many different things? How to adapt to any possible outcome? How to balance (not only) technological progress, sustainability, coordination and safety?
How to bridge between different values and other deep assumptions of various fields, visions, movements, ideologies, religions, any memeplexes, any mental frameworks, in the framework of collective rational plus irrational information processing and sensemaking of agents with limited computational power, data and perspective when modelling the world's enormous growing complexity together to collectively flourish in the future? How can artificial intelligence help us?
How does the statespace of consciousness look like, what exotic states are possible? Can we experience any possible experiences? How much do psychedelics and meditation unlock? How does the edge of the mind look like? When you disintegrate into structureless infinite consciousness on psychedelics or/and meditation full of infinite relief and nothing makes sense anymore but everything makes sense at the same time as all mental faculties break down into death, how can you explain the beyond concepts beyond everything transcendental ieffable with language?
Imagine a future where we figured out how sense of meaningful life works and engineered it to everybeing. Imagine a future where we solved all of science and consciousness to such a degree that we can create anything we want and experience everything we want. Imagine a future where we understand biology and general sentience such that sentient beings can take any physical form that they wish or that is needed for collective survival and flourishing life infinitely and merge with eachother. Imagine a future where coordination failures have been solved and no things like climate change or nuclear war endanger our stability. Imagine a future where we reverse engineered suffering and no sentient beings suffer anymore. Imagine a future where all philosophical questions have been answered to a very a satisfying and practical degree, but there is still infinite novelty available for any being to experience. Imagine a future where not even second law of thermodynamics where everything goes towards decay endanger our stability. Imagine a future of infinitely flourishing transhumanist supercooperation cluster merging with nature and the whole universe.
Omni/Acc = Steelman all scientific models, models of wellbeing+experience and movements shaping the future and synthesize them on a higher order of complexity as compatibly as possible for collective survival, wellbeing and flourishing of all beings!

=Overview=
People have many competing perspectives on many things. The goal of this book is to collaboratively unify perspectives on wellbeing, science, making our system better, and some other thins. For example there are different traditions in psychology, different models of theories of everything in physics, or models of consciousness, or different lenses on how to make society well. I believe all those differing camps have a lot of potential for synthesis. I start from first principles, by analyzing deepest assumptions different perspectives make, and using common ground for unification. For example science wants the most predictive explanatory model connected to empirical evidence. Theraphy wants to make people feel well. Artificial intelligence field wants AI to do good. Competition has its advantages, such as driver for innovation, but too much of it can be more destructive than productive. Theoreticians tend to be overly commited to their particular model, not being as open to alternative approaches, such as theories of everything in physics or various meditation traditions, which misses lots of potential for useful new insights and collaboration. Time to integrate them all!
The goal of this book is to unify knowledge from philosophy and science to find the most optimal assumptions for sensemaking in relation to making society well long term!
My methodology is to first map out the landscape of models used in various fields that I know of and then I pick the concrete models that I evaluate as the most useful ones in relation to this book's goal. I start with mapping out models used in philosophy, then in science's philosophy context I map out models used in physics, in consciousness, and so on. I try to understand everything in terms of physics. Let's develop a unifying framework that understands it all!

=Topdown summary=
Here I map out the content of this book. If you're not familiar with the technical terms, they will be explained from first principles in the book.
I first start with no assumptions at all. I map out lots of popular philosophical assumptions: ontologies, epistemologies, ethical theories, models of identity. I choose the most optimal set of assumptions for doing science: empiricism, bayesianism, epistemic humility, physicalism unified with computationalism, panpsychism, emergentism, pragmatism, wellbeing utilitarism, closed, empty and open individualism together. I map out foundations in science, such as logic: classicl, constructivist intuistionic homotopy type theory, and mathametical foundations: (ZFC) set theory, category theory I map out models used in physics: classical mechanics, statistical mechanics ((nonequilibirum) thermodynamics), information theory, relativity, cosmology, quantum mechanics, quantum information theory, and their unity: quantum field theory (axiomatic, standard model), quantum darwinism, spacetime from entaglement, loop quantum gravity, supersymemtry, string theory, holographic principle, asymtotic gravity, wolfram physics project, amplituhedron, quantum free energy principle, with the focus on standard model quantum field theory, but with spacetime from entaglement and quantum darwinism with classical and quantum free energy principle across scales using unity of superdeterminism and quantum bayesianism interpretations of physics. I map out approaches for weak emergence and studying system's dynamics on a higher more abstract level or using an approximation: Effective Field Theory, Renormalization Group, Pointcare Map, Petrubation theory, Free energy principle. I take scalefree laws: (quantum) free energy principle, classical physics (fluid dynamics, harmonic analysis) and other tools used in chemical physics, neurophysics, biophysics, social physics, econophysics to frame other scientific fields on other scales studying atoms, molecules, proteins, cells, neurons, functional brain regions, animals, people, communities, states, superpowers, planets, galaxies with their unique differential equations. I map out approaches to immortality. I map out models of neurophenomenology (empirically testable models of consciousness, sentience, sapience) with the focus on levels of analysis (implementational, algorithmic, computational, phenomenological): Predictive processing, free energy principle, Conductance-based model, Nonequilibrium quantum brain dynamics, Orchestrated objective reduction, Holonomic brain theory, Shrondinger's Neurons, Neural field theory, Integrated information theory, Global workspace theory, Adaptive resonance theory, Topological segmentation, Higher-order theories of consciousness, Reentry, Sensorimotor Theory. There I pick quantum free energy principle running on standard model quantum field theory combined with neural field theory bound by topological segmentation of information processing networks with perception of an observer and binding as general entaglement of two unseparable quantum computational systems interacting. I map out current paradigms in neuroscience. I map out what's the state of the art in AI: transformers, neuromorphic engineering, active inference. How do the biological intelligences compare to artificial intelligences: flexible adaptible architecture constructed from stratch in process of selforganization, resonance network governed by neural field theory, by evolution preinstalled priors and heuristics and metaheuristics to minimize training data, global emotional processing, metaawareness, embodiment, mutimodality, planning, less "autism", self and other model, learning change in dynamic qualia streams instead of static snapshots, metastable coherence in some ground truths, needs of being surviving in the universe with others instead of imitating text on the internet, being directed by hundreds of physiological, dozens of social and a few cognitive needs that are implemented as reflexes until we can partially transcend them and replace them with instrumental behavior that relate to our higher goals. Xenobots live on the boundary between biological and artificial machines. I map out causes and models of wellbeing: good Active Inference model, symmetry theory of valence, wellbeing at the edge of chaos, genes, adequate brain network connectivity for flexible adaptible communication, learning to relax, having accepting environment, having direction in life. I map out models for neurodiversity: autism, schizotypicity, ADHD, low and high energy depression, bipolar. I map out models for meaning, agency, free will, love and other psychological constructs. I map out models used in psychology (big five personality model), psychotheraphy (gestalt, internal family systems) and frame it in the statistical physics model. I map out models of meditation and psychedelics: focused attention, open monitoring, nondual, therapy, learning, intellectual exploration, experiental exploration, finding or creating meaning, rest, freeying dissolution, getting better local minina, tools to transform, weaken or strenghten topological beliefs through annealing: inquiry into topological structure of experience's epistemic agent hub catching sensations, mindfulness, love and kindness, gratefulness, deity visualization and merging, nondual love, nondual deconstruction, loving reconstruction. I map out conteplative traditions: Stoicism, Mindfullness, Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana, Zen, Taoism, Atthakavagga, Ajivika, Dzogchen, Postrationalism, QRI. I frame different assumptions our brains can assume in the meta context of cognitive science. I map out different popular mental frameworks, cultures (west, east) , religions (christianity, buddhism), ideologies (left, right). I map out models used in sociology with the focus on social physics, Active Inference, evolutionary game theory, gauge theory and levels of analysis: technology, economy, law, governance, culture. What makes the most succesful cultures: internal and external positive/zero/negative sum dynamics that do coordinated violence effectively at scale (before it was mostly physical, now it is mostly economic, diplomatic, technological,...) I map out crises: poverty, economical, housing, environmental, geopolitical, energy, immigration, eductional, sensemaking, capability, legitimacy, meaning, teen mental health, inequality. And risks: pandemics, cyberweapons, biotechnology, ecosystem collapse from climate change, nuclear war, sensemaking and coordination failures, population wellbeing decline, adaptability, loss of social cohesion, meaning, loneliness, polarization (culture war), food and water scarity, breakdown of essencial infrastructure, misuse of artificial intelligence or other powerful tools used as destructive weapons (mainly Cambridge Analytica like psychological mapping and exploiting ingroup polarizing manipulation on social media for political advantage), AI incopetence, unaligned artificial general superintelligence, failure to integrate economical and environmental migrants. I map out solutions to cooperation coordination failures (Moloch), polycrisis (interconnected web of crises), metacrisis (underlying pattern under crises) in general that I argue should work in synergy: strenghtening democracy, reform of economy, media, social media, laws (political economy), parenting, decarbonization, degrowth, environment (regenerative economy), mental health, technology, slow down/pause/stop automation, slow down/pause/stop AI, accelerate AI, AI safety (AI alignment, AI copilot, AGI overlord, not building AGI (without understanding existing AIs?), adapting to postA(G)I world with culture and governance, structure of cities, cultural transformation: moral circle expanding by compassion, unifying languages, visions ( togetherness in this world full of problems we face together, and shared good future utopian globalist vision), meaning, secular religion, destabilizing narrow attention by education or meditation, power checked benevolent governing structures (cooperative regulations), automation allowing universal basic income, game theoretically stable optional wireheading infrastructure, resilient foods and clean water, resilience to crises and risks, education (communication of all of this to relevant policymakers, politicians, wealthy impactful people (generating economic incentives), general public through schools and informal education, creating ground between academia, policymakers, stake holders, and general public), mass AI powered quality science and systems science and mental health education grounded in reality to fight epistemic breakdown and molochian multipolar traps, with the focus on exponential tech's AI, education, democracy, culture. I map out ways to prepare and solutions to symptoms of the metacrisis: infrastructure for if things go wrong to avoid extinction, things like carbon capture. I map out what to do when things go wrong: nuclear winter. I map out acions against the metacrisis: learn, find people, join projects, donate, propagate, spread, educate, recruit. I map out various future timelines: business as usual, global totality (Russia), chaos (Somalia), stable liberal democracy by educated disincentivizing overly competing shorttermist nonaltruistic sociopathic selfcentered uneducated cancerous agents on regenerative economy, extinction, degrowth, returning to old ways, supergrowth with transhumanist transcendental longtermist utopia. I think about the current state of science with replication crisis under everything, where standard model quantum field theory is the best science we have, not forgeting bayesianism with epistemic humility, and seeing sociology and a lot of our models in general as more about forming the future than predicting it, arguing that us having fundamental assumption that future can be shaped into turning out well also increases the chances of that actually happening, making doom unjustified. I map out ways to solve humanity's biggest issues while not burning out and keeping good mental health: learning to apprecitate the present moment and sacredness of life, learning to rest, regenerate, get stronger where learning to temporarily turn of all structures in the brain with focus on those encoding what might be going wrong in society, inducing motivation by becoming in love with and adding to the beauty of life, becoming integral part of it. I end it with my story and transcendence into nondual love for all that is!

A meme where I tried to steelman various big voices in the future of artificial general intelligence discourse and put them on a political compass meme where various hot takes lie on the spectrum of mainly focusing on probability of AI doom versus probability of AI utopia scenarios and how expanded one's moral circle of concern is across space, time, and systems.

Let's delve into physics.
Wikipedia's definition of physics is: The natural science of matter, involving the study of matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force.

We will slowly build all machinery used to predict motion of objects. If you're not familiar with any of these, wait for other chapters.
Classical mechanics studies average sized objects moving at average speeds - speeds are much lower than the speed of light, sizes are much greater than that of atoms, yet very small in astronomical terms. Relativistic mechanics studies big objects moving at fast speed. Quantum mechanics studies small objects moving at slow speeds. Quantum field theory, a type of relativistic quantum mechanics, unification of special relativity and quantum mechanics, studies small objects at high speeds - Standard model maps out fundamental particles and forces on the lowest level of reality. We still can't unify gravity (general relativity) with quantum mechanics, which connects to other unsolved issues in physics, but there are many proposed solutions waiting to be verified. This distinction isn't perfect, as we have edgecases like measured quantum entanglement of particles that are kilometers apart, but its good enough approximation for most of usecases. We can technically use only relativistic quantum mechanics everywhere, but at other scales and speeds, relativistic quantum mechanics becomes mostly equivalent with just classical or relativistic mechanics, which is easier to work with. There is also generalized quantum theory paradigm for information processing by complex systems such as the brain, that takes into account contextual dependence of information and probabilistic reasoning, that can be mathematically described in the framework of quantum information and quantum probability theory, which is not reliant on the hypothesis that there is something micro-physical quantum-mechanical about the brain.

Simulated annealing is a probabilistic technique for approximating the global optimum of a given function in similar way how annealing works in metallurgy by cooling the temperature slowly the approximate global maximum is found. Where there are many local maxima, it is not enough to use a simple hill climb algorithm, and simulated annealing can be used instead.

A feedforward neural network is a basic type of artificial neural network where connections between nodes do not form a cycle, allowing information to move in only one direction, from input to output.
===Science -> Technology -> Artificial Intelligence -> Paradigms -> Nonsymbolic aka Connectionist -> Artificial neural networks -> Recurrent neural network===
Recurrent neural network - Wikipedia
A recurrent neural network is like a looped decision-making process, where each decision considers not only the current information but also what was learned from previous data points, making it well-suited for tasks involving sequences like language or time series data.
More formally, it's a class of artificial neural networks where connections between nodes form a directed graph along a temporal sequence, allowing it to exhibit dynamic temporal behavior and process sequences of inputs.
===Science -> Technology -> Artificial Intelligence -> Paradigms -> Nonsymbolic aka Connectionist -> Artificial neural networks -> Long short-term memory===
Long short-term memory (LSTM) network is a recurrent neural network (RNN), aimed to deal with the vanishing gradient problem present in traditional RNNs. Its relative insensitivity to gap length is its advantage over other RNNs, hidden Markov models and other sequence learning methods. It aims to provide a short-term memory for RNN that can last thousands of timesteps, thus "long short-term memory".

Deep learning is hard. While universal approximation theorems show that sufficiently complex neural networks can in principle approximate “anything”, there is no guarantee that we can find good models.
Great progress in deep learning has nevertheless been made by judicious choice of model architectures. These model architectures encode inductive biases to give the model a helping hand. One of the most powerful inductive biases is to leverage notions of geometry, giving rise to the field of geometric deep learning.
Fundamentally, geometric deep learning invovles encoding a geometric understanding of data as an inductive bias in deep learning models to give them a helping hand.
Traditional deep learning focuses on Euclidean data (like images, text, and audio), which can be represented in regular grids. In contrast, geometric deep learning deals with non-Euclidean data such as graphs and manifolds.
While learning generic functions in high dimensions is a cursed estimation problem, many tasks are not uniform and have strong repeating patterns as a result of the low-dimensionality and structure of the physical world.
Geometric Deep Learning unifies a broad class of ML problems from the perspectives of symmetry and invariance. These principles not only underlie the breakthrough performance of convolutional neural networks and the recent success of graph neural networks but also provide a principled way to construct new types of problem-specific inductive biases: Symmetry and invariance, Stability, Multiscale representations.

This new approach, known as the Forward-Forward algorithm, is inspired by our understanding of neural activations in the brain. brain doesn't seem to do back propagation used by traditional artificial neural networks. Instead of relying on the traditional forward and backward passes of backpropagation, this method utilizes two forward passes — one with positive, real data and the other with negative data. Each layer in the network has its own objective function, which is to have high “goodness” for positive data and low “goodness” for negative data.

===Science -> Technology -> Artificial Intelligence -> Explanability and safety -> Reinforcement learning from human feedback===
Used for ChatGPT.
Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) is a technique that trains a "reward model" directly from human feedback and uses the model as a reward function to optimize an agent's policy using reinforcement learning (RL). The reward model is trained in advance to the policy being optimized to predict if a given output is good (high reward) or bad (low reward).
More intuitively it's like giving the LLM a bunch of "yes" or "no" feedback on its actions and then training it to do more of the "yes" stuff.

RLHF involves training a reward model and then optimizing a policy to maximize this model, while DPO optimizes directly from human preferences, avoiding the reward modeling stage.
This method directly uses people's preferences to teach the program, without the intermediate step of converting these preferences into "yes" or "no" feedback.

===Science -> Technology -> Artificial Intelligence -> Intersection between AI and biological systems and comparisions -> Spiking neural network===
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are artificial neural networks that more closely mimic natural neural networks. SNNs incorporate the concept of time into their operating model. The idea is that neurons in the SNN do not transmit information at each propagation cycle (as it happens with typical multi-layer perceptron networks), but rather transmit information only when a membrane potential—an intrinsic quality of the neuron related to its membrane electrical charge—reaches a specific value, called the threshold. When the membrane potential reaches the threshold, the neuron fires, and generates a signal that travels to other neurons which, in turn, increase or decrease their potentials in response to this signal. A neuron model that fires at the moment of threshold crossing is also called a spiking neuron model.

Neuromorphic computing is an approach to computing that is inspired by the structure and function of the human brain. A neuromorphic computer/chip is any device that uses physical artificial neurons to do computations. In recent times, the term neuromorphic has been used to describe analog, digital, mixed-mode analog/digital VLSI, and software systems that implement models of neural systems (for perception, motor control, or multisensory integration).

Causal power inequality means that an agent has more possibilities than other agents - let it be more resources, or economical, technological or cultural power, priveledges. This can be good or bad depending on context: everyone should have access to water if you're a humanist, but not everyone should have access to same amount of money, if you see value in economical competition, where those who succeed in it deserve their wealth. And its caused by different causes: pursuing economical progress based on playing fairly in economic system and producing for example technological value, altruistically or not, or by exploiting the system's loopholes.
===Science -> Humanity -> Phenomena -> Multipolar traps===
This concept from game theory shows up everywhere as we discuss various crises and risks.
Multipolar traps aka Moloch is a risk that is under lots of other risks driving lots of crises.
Moloch is the personification of the forces that coerce competing individuals to take actions which, although locally optimal, ultimately lead to situations where everyone is worse off. Moreover, no individual is able to unilaterally break out of the dynamic. The situation is a bad Nash equilibrium. A trap.
One example of a multipolar trap, a Molochian dynamic, is a Red Queen race between scientists who must continually spend more time writing grant applications just to keep up with their peers doing the same. Through unavoidable competition, they have all lost time while not ending up with any more grant money. And any scientist who unilaterally tried to not engage in the competition would soon be replaced by one who still does. If they all promised to cap their grant writing time, everyone would face an incentive to defect. [https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/moloch Moloch definition of LessWrong]

===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Political compass===
The political compass is a multi-axis political model used to label or categorize political ideologies.
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Political compass -> Economic axis===
Left-Right (Economic) Axis: This axis represents economic ideologies. The left side (often represented in red) typically signifies socialist or communist ideologies, advocating for more government control or regulation of the economy, wealth redistribution, and public ownership of resources. The right side (often in blue) represents capitalist or free-market ideologies, advocating for less government intervention in the economy, private ownership, and free-market principles.
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Political compass -> Social axis===
Authoritarian-Libertarian (Social) Axis: This axis represents views on personal and social freedoms. The top of the axis (authoritarian) indicates a preference for more controlled or regulated social environments, where the government has a significant role in dictating or influencing social behavior. This can include support for strict law enforcement, traditional values, and centralized power. The bottom of the axis (libertarian) represents a preference for individual liberty, personal choice, and minimal government intervention in private life.
When these axes intersect, they form four quadrants:
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Political compass -> Authoritarian Left===
Authoritarian Left: This quadrant combines economic left-wing views with authoritarian social policies. It might include support for a planned economy alongside a preference for controlled social order and centralized power.
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Political compass -> Authoritarian Right===
Authoritarian Right: This quadrant combines economic right-wing views with authoritarian social policies. It often includes support for a free-market economy along with a desire for a structured social order, possibly with traditional values.
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Political compass -> Libertarian Left===
Libertarian Left: This quadrant combines left-wing economic views with libertarian social policies. It typically includes support for a more egalitarian economic system (like socialism) coupled with a strong emphasis on personal freedoms and civil liberties.
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Political compass -> Libertarian Right===
Libertarian Right: This quadrant combines right-wing economic views with libertarian social policies. It often includes support for a free-market economy along with a high degree of personal and social freedom, minimal government intervention, and individualism.

===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Present state===
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Present state -> Economical axis===
Left (More State Control): Many countries in the world, especially those in the developing world or with socialist leanings, favor stronger state involvement in the economy. This includes aspects like welfare systems, state-owned enterprises, and economic planning.
Right (More Market Freedom): On the other hand, the global trend, particularly in developed countries and emerging economies, has been leaning towards free-market capitalism. This includes policies that favor privatization, deregulation, and open markets.
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Present state -> Social axis===
Authoritarian: Several regions and countries exhibit authoritarian tendencies, where governments exert substantial control over many aspects of life, restrict freedoms, and maintain power through centralized control.
Libertarian: Conversely, many countries, especially in the West, prioritize individual liberties, democracy, and personal freedoms, promoting a more libertarian approach.
I'm gonna focus mainly on USA, Europe, China, Russia and India, as those are the biggest players in AI. Middle East, Africa, South America, Oceania or rest of Asia are also big players that are very diverse politically, you can look into them separately.

California is seen as auth right but Bay Area is the center of free startup economical and technological progress where tons of AI companies live.
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Present state -> United States of America -> Economic axis===
The USA generally falls on the right side of the economic axis, favoring free-market capitalism. However, there are significant variations within the country, with some advocating for more government intervention in the economy.
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Present state -> United States of America -> Social axis===
Socially, the USA is diverse, with a mix of libertarian and authoritarian viewpoints. While there are strong libertarian traditions emphasizing individual freedoms, there are also trends towards social conservatism and, in some areas, increased state control over certain social issues.

===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Present state -> Europe -> Economic axis===
Europe is diverse, but many countries lean towards the left on the economic axis, favoring social democratic policies with more state welfare and regulatory involvement in the economy compared to the USA.
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Present state -> Europe -> Social axis===
On the social axis, European countries tend to be more libertarian, especially in Western Europe, with a strong emphasis on individual rights, personal freedoms, and progressive social policies. However, variations exist, and some Eastern European countries can lean more authoritarian.
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Present state -> China===
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Present state -> China -> Economic axis===
China presents a complex picture. While officially a communist state, its economic reforms have introduced elements of market capitalism, especially in urban and coastal areas. However, the state still retains significant control over key industries and economic policy.
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Present state -> China -> Social axis===
On the social axis, China is more authoritarian. The Chinese government maintains strict control over many aspects of social life, including the media, internet, and public expression, reflecting a top-down approach to governance and social order.
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Present state -> Russia===
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Present state -> Russia -> Economic axis===
Russia's economy has elements of market capitalism, especially after the fall of the Soviet Union, but the state still retains significant control over major industries and economic policy, placing it towards the center or slightly left on the economic axis.
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Present state -> Russia -> Social axis===
On the social axis, Russia leans towards the authoritarian end. The government under Vladimir Putin has tightened control over media, political freedoms, and civil liberties, reflecting a top-down approach to governance.
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Present state -> India===
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Present state -> India -> Economic axis===
India's economy has been moving towards the right on the economic axis since economic liberalization in the 1990s, promoting market economy and private sector involvement. However, the state still plays a significant role in certain sectors.
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Present state -> India -> Social axis===
Socially, India is a democratic nation with a strong emphasis on civil liberties and political freedoms, placing it towards the libertarian end. However, there are ongoing challenges related to social inequality, religious tensions, and regional disparities.
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Present state -> Global===
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Present state -> Global -> Economic axis===
Given these opposing trends, the global average might fall somewhere in the center of the economic axis, reflecting a mix of market economies with varying degrees of state intervention.
===Science -> Humanity -> Governance -> Present state -> Global -> Social axis===
Globally, there might be a slight tilt towards the authoritarian side, considering the population sizes of countries with more authoritarian governance (like China). However, the global trend has been gradually shifting towards more democratic and libertarian values over the past few decades, influenced by globalization, international human rights norms, and digital connectivity.

which is more individualistic (with diverse forces competing or cooperating in harmony)(anarchocapitalism, competing nations) or collectivistic (similar forces merging into one) (anarchocommunism, communist dictatorship) (bottomup collectivism/individualism vs topdown collectivism/individualism)
or technology will allow humans merging into collective hivemind brain governing or being wireheaded
or instead of us controlling or coexisting, technology (AI) or nature (earth life) or alien species or universe (natural causes, entropy) (or some combination on a spectrum) governs us or destroys us or we merge with or become it (are you ready to become collective hivemind merging with artificial general superintelligence and then merging with Gaia and then eventually the whole universe becoming pure transhumanecolovium matter, all values included, your qualia pocket will be transported to a multiverse branch custom tailored to perfectly satisfy them) (or some combination on a spectrum), or humans or all of life goes extinct from existencial risks
on culture (regionism, nationalism, globalism, humanism, sentientism), economy (regulated, free market, crypto), technology (regulated, free progress, gov investments, transparency, closed source to prevent harm, open sourcing for democratization and innovation), environment (regulating its breakdown, not caring about it, it affecting us), science (gov investments), philosophy (or some combination on a spectrum)
all of that has certain end goal: stays in its current state (conservatism), accelerated change as fast as possible (progressivism) (growth, degrowth, transformation (one culture to other)) given different conditions (considering various risks ultimately vs not at all)(spectrum) (or some combination on a spectrum)
according to different ethical value systems (humans, nations, races, animals, technology, AIs, sentient matter, intelligence, capital, nature, environment, science, nothing, antinatanilism)
which creates different levels of environmental, economical, technological, cultural sustainability (environmental, wellbeing of humans, animals, no big existencial risks, wars, or sustainability of intelligence could mean accelerate AI at all costs replacing us if that wont lead to destruction of most of advanced intelligence instead), wellbeing (sadness from opression (of individuals or nations) and less freedom to do and express by regulations and monitoring, happiness with government and its culture and economic regulation for benefit of people, sadness from not being told what to do, happiness from total freedom to do anything) transformation and risks (existencial (bioweapons, cyberweapons, pandemics, nanotech, nukes, climate change, social and sensemaking disintegration, fragility of fundamental infrastructure, AI (accelerating other risks, alignment, uncontrollability, being too powerful and easy to get and used as weapon, misinformation, manipulation, censorship, stabilizing authroitian regime, collapsing existing safeguards and our overall systems too fast))) to different valued entities
that has a degree of stability depending on the influence of all the other forces (current positions of leaders in power are storngly stabilized by tons of safety checks, emerging attempts at seizing power get halted fast, overly corrupted governments can disintegrate, existencial risks can disintegrate it all, inability to adapt to technologcal progress is transformative on social, economic, cultural levels)
In general, control in the world is a set of forces, that have origin with a structure on a centralized to decentralized spectrum, each acting on different sets of variables
Force (ideology) consists of existing unwanted forces (free bad risky to all agents, too much regulations halting progress, polarization, distrust), existing wanted forces (healthcare and social support, not totally controlled market, attempts to revolute, intelligence explosion), proposed wanted forces (more coordination, progress in science, technology, meaningful jobs and overall activities for all, automation of boring stuff, privacy, autonomy, wellbeing, progress, sustainability, unity, diversity, good education for all, inclusivity, rational planetary decision making, sustainable growth, efficiency, security, meaningful community, shared resources, UBI, deserved resources, individual freedom, nation freedom, global coordination against risks, monitoring biorisk, benevolent altruistic governance, intelligence enhancement, transhumanism, connection with nature, bliss, good people in influencal entities, converting the whole universe into wellbeingium (matter experiencing only wellbeing, meaning, connection, novelty, sacredness, love, creativity, interestingsness, knowledge, selfactualization, truth, bliss, pleasure, peace, equaminity, safety, positive valence) with no more sufferium), proposed unwanted forces (suffering, extinction, global or local oppresion, violence, inequality (on economical, cultural, technological, knowledge, intelligence levels), radical jobloss in capitalist economy, regulatory capture, social fragmentation, bad mental health, loneliness, blind arms race, overdependence on technology AI and other things, overregulation, overmonitoring, disintegration of safety checks) proposed forces to achieve wanted forces (renewable energy, carbon pricing, AI governance, biorisk monitoring infratsructure, support for startups, support for people that cannot add economic value, donating to good causes, helping good causes, politically supporting good causes, teaching about good causes, creating infrastructure for good causes, creating conditions for good causes, voting, researching, engineering), existing forces to achieve wanted forces (charities, science labs, tech labs, good elected politicians, good people in influental entities), existing bottleneck forces (sociopaths having manipulative advantages in power (economic, governing, status), changing current state takes long transformation, skills, money, power, power in numbers of people), and their interactions with all other forces (accelerate technology vs pause technology, free vs governed technology and economy, traditional values vs trancending humanity)
Each force is made out of other lower level forces and creates other higher level forces.
In practice, political systems include gazilions of such interacting forces that forms them (international coordination entities, national governments, regional governments, interacting corporations, technology, the people, structure of your brain)
Getting acceptance or resistance that weakens or reinforces them from other forces.
Total centralization isnt worth it, as one person alone is weak, he has to have a semicentralized group aligned with his interests.
Absolute centralization would be one atom governing the whole universe.
Absolute decentralization would be all atoms having the same degree of causal power on every other atom like any other atom.

===Science -> Humanity -> Possible futures===
===Science -> Humanity -> Possible futures -> Governing technology===
Technology will probably be the most influencing factor of the future.
We can let technological progress evolve without any restrictions or totally control and regulate or totally stop it. Something in the middle will happen, but what kind of middle is the question. Predicting the capabilities and externalities of technology and how it will edit our system is hard to predict.
===Science -> Humanity -> Possible futures -> Governing technology -> Regulate and control everything
Depending on if you see emerging AI technology as powerful as scissors, or the internet, or like the nuclear weapons, you will have different views on how controllable and potentially harmful it is. Some people propose that its fundamentally uncontrollable, or that in its usage, the harmful uses will be much bigger factor than the
===Science -> Humanity -> Possible futures -> Governing technology -> Open source everything
We can let technological progress evolve without any restrictions, but we risk the chances of it not being sustainable and us selfdestrucing ourselves on all levels in the extreme. We should probably steer it at least in some way to prevent some of the risks. Some people argue that all of that is bad. Some people argue that we need to accelereate AI in order to solve all other existencial risks like climate change, nukes, biorisk etc. by solving all of science and politics that way, but others argue that will only accelerate all these other risks. Both is possible, middle way will probably happen, but what kind of middle way? Some people argue we are fundamentally unsistainable and us selfdestrucing as fast as possible is the only way, as AI replacing us will save us.

What’s The Difference between Utopia, Eutopia and Protopia? - Metamoderna
“Utopia” means “nowhere” and denotes a static state of cultural and political perfection: society when it has become as good as it possibly can get. As nebulous and dreamy as Utopia might seem, it always implies a certain attained perfection of society. As such, there is the “bad” now and the “good” future and the path from darkness into light.
===Science -> Humanity -> Possible futures -> Eutopia===
“Eutopia” is similar to utopia, it means “the good place”. What one deems as “good”, others might find “bad”. The key is to make general enough definition of "good", such that everyone, when experiences it, agrees on it, thanks to for example reverengineering the mechanism by which our brain classifies the state of our world as good or bad and finding the common pattern and potentially hacking it in the next mentioned transhumanist utopia.
===Science -> Humanity -> Possible futures -> Protopia===
“Protopia” is defined as the opposite of a “Dystopia”. In Dystopia, people are stuck in some kind of recurring pattern of suffering (like George Orwell’s “foot trampling a human face forever”, as in 1984). A Protopian society, then, is one where people are free from such gridlocks and can thus work actively to improve life. It’s a more carefully stated form of a dream of societal transformation: It doesn’t say that “everything will be good for everyone”; it focuses not on the state-of-things-at-a-given-moment, but on the possibility - the shared capacity to move in mutually desirable directions. Simply stated, one could say that a Protopian society is one that has the capacity to become incrementally better as a result of the freedom of its members.
===Science -> Humanity -> Possible futures -> Naturalism===
In naturalism, we became one with the nature
===Science -> Humanity -> Possible futures -> Utopia===
in transhumanist utopia, thanks to technology, all science is solved, all technology for the benefit of all sentient beings is implemented.
The whole universe has been converted into wellbeingium (matter experiencing only wellbeing, meaning, selfactualization, truth, bliss, pleasure, peace, equaminity, safety, jhanas, positive valence) and there's no more sufferium.

===Intro===
This book is my bottomup reality building metaframework inside which I am putting all knowledge, a giant hetearchical tree of what we can dream up.
Let's build science from bottom up. We will start with laying the ground for the dynamics of fundamental particles of our universe. We will start with freedom for any thought and language, but then find the best philosophical assumptions for science, philosophical foundations for mathematics, then mathematical foundations for physics and then slowly build up the mathematics of our best empirically proven model of the universe: The standard model, a type of quantum field theory until we reach it in it's glory.
Then we will look at higher scales, what mathematics governs chemistry, biology, consciousness (meditation, psychedelics, wellbeing), society (sociology, economics, technology, risks and crises, our future), up to astrophysics and cosmology.
At the end I will explore what possible future awaits us as humanity and how to get the best ones!
I was wondering if i should bottom up build physical reality as i do it now, first building math and explaining fundamental particles and cosmology (classical -> quantum -> relativity -> merging to QTF standard model), and then go to middle scales such as biology and sociology.
Or should i bottom up build math (when i mention dynamical systems and classical mechanics i say everywhere where its applied, from small particles to big ones, as most of science is in classical framework, and explaining fundamental particles at the end because thats where i get to QTF math).
If i should go into biology when i already explain enough math (most of it is classical so including it inside classical dynamical systems), or if i should postpone it after i explain fundamental physics fully first.
Or first build all math without practically applying and then do a big section on just applications? But without examples that can be hard to grasp, and its almost impossible not to use examples when explaining physics without it seeming too abstract.
It's probably better to keep the scientific fields together, instead of keeping maths together, I will do that.
===No assumptions, Any knowledge, Arbitrary structure or structurelessness===
Arbitrary structure or structurelessness (if you make any noises, any movements, any drugs, all experience with arbitrary structure or structurelessness counts in this category)
===Languages===
Languages: Structure constrained by vague or formal regularities (those regularities can be analyzed by all sorts of maths from for example information theory, but more on that later)
===Philosophy===
Philosophy: Language constrained by trying to explain something, vaguely or strictily formally
===Mathematics===
Mathematics: Philosophy constrained by strict formal definitions and rules (logic studies those rules) studying arbitrary relations between arbitrary things or inner structure of things
===Science, Mostly applied mathematics===
Applied mathematics is mathematics constrained by making predictions about reality (part of systems science and mathematical physics), which is most of my favorite science. Science expressed in the language of mathematics makes very concrete predictions and can be simulated! Science can also have vague linguistic structures, lots of frameworks in psychology or social science are less mathematical and more forming reality instead of predicting it, that is also fine!
Let's build science from bottom up. We will start with laying the ground for the dynamics of fundamental particles of our universe. We will start with philosophical foundations for mathematics, then mathematical foundations for physics and then slowly build up the mathematics of our best empirically proven model of the universe: The standard model, a type of quantum field theory until we reach it in it's glory.
Then we will look at higher scales, what mathematics governs chemistry, biology, consciousness, sociology, economics, technology, up to astrophysics and cosmology.

Let's start from physics' (field studying matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force) mathematics governing the smallest fundamental particles:
The current most empirically proven model is standard model quantum field theory which is classical field theory, special relativity, and quantum mechanics together, but without gravity.

now we have a model of fundamental particles of the universe, let's go up
- We can but don't have to use various mathematical machinery to emerge across scales, from small objects (mostly living in quantum math) to average objects (mostly living in classical math) to massive objects (mostly living in relativistic math), with effective field theory, renormalization group, pointcare map, petrubation theory:
- Absolute space and time: Systems science and classical mechanics, with linear algebra and all other sorts of maths, where most average sized objects in average speed mostly live - most science go here - chemistry, biology, cognitive science, engineering, social sciences and so on (lots of frameworks in psychology or social science are less mathematical and more forming reality instead of predicting it), works scalefree, we can use stuff like fluid mechanics, annealing, cybernetics and so on - unifying math is classical free energy principle Small things can have effects on avarage sized things, some quantum biology or quantum consciousness models fuckery goes here
- emerge more
- Relative spacetime: General relativity, where most massive objects or close to speed of light mostly live in, cosmology maybe relativistic theory of consciousness? Quantum free energy principle unifies all scales and fields in one abstract quantum information theoretic framework but doesn't solve all unsolved concrete problems in all the various fields but can help with that a lot!

===Intro and structure===
This book is my bottomup reality building metaframework inside which I am putting all knowledge, a giant hetearchical tree of what we can dream up.
Let's build science from bottom up. We will start with laying the ground for the dynamics of fundamental particles of our universe. We will start with freedom for any thought and language, but then find the best philosophical assumptions for science, philosophical foundations for mathematics, then mathematical foundations for physics and then slowly build up the mathematics of our best empirically proven model of the universe: The standard model, a type of quantum field theory until we reach it in it's glory.
Then we will look at higher scales, what mathematics governs chemistry, biology, consciousness (meditation, psychedelics, wellbeing), society (sociology, economics, technology, risks and crises, our future), up to astrophysics and cosmology.
At the end I will explore what possible future awaits us as humanity and how to get the best ones!
I was wondering if i should bottom up build physical reality as i do it now, first building math and explaining fundamental particles and cosmology (classical -> quantum -> relativity -> merging to QTF standard model), and then go to middle scales such as biology and sociology.
Or should i bottom up build math (when i mention dynamical systems and classical mechanics i say everywhere where its applied, from small particles to big ones, as most of science is in classical framework, and explaining fundamental particles at the end because thats where i get to QTF math).
If i should go into biology when i already explain enough math (most of it is classical so including it inside classical dynamical systems), or if i should postpone it after i explain fundamental physics fully first.
Or first build all math without practically applying and then do a big section on just applications? But without examples that can be hard to grasp, and its almost impossible not to use examples when explaining physics without it seeming too abstract.
It's probably better to keep the scientific fields together, instead of keeping maths together, I will do that. Covering basics of philosophy, math, physics, biology, consciousness, sociology and so on.

===Science -> Physics -> Unity -> Relativistic quantum mechanics -> Quantum field theory -> Gauge theory===
Gauge theories are general clas of quantum field theories used for the description of elementary particles and their interactions using group theory.
A type of field theory in which the Lagrangian, and hence the dynamics of the system itself, do not change under local transformations according to certain smooth families of operations (Lie groups). Formally, the Lagrangian is invariant.
In a gauge theory there is a group of transformations of the field variables (gauge transformations) that leaves the basic physics of the quantum field unchanged. This condition, called gauge invariance, gives the theory a certain symmetry, which governs its equations. In short, the structure of the group of gauge transformations in a particular gauge theory entails general restrictions on the way in which the field described by that theory can interact with other fields and elementary particles.

Every thing corresponds to some (quasi)stable mathematical model analyzable and predictable by all sorts of mathematics encoding physical systems evolving in (relativistic) (quantum) spacetime using stochastic dynamical systems theory using machinery from classical+statistical+relativistic+quantum mechanics, from particle to wave to fluid mechanics to markov blankets to cybernetic complex systems. We can take the statespace of things that science analyzes and map out the statespace of mathematics used to analyze them all, and semantic content framing it, automatically by scanning all of science information on the internet using scraping and data summarizing and compressing AI in a giant lookup table or or semantic map or fuzzy nested metagraph with nodes as things and (fuzzy) relations encoding similarityness, inclusion, connection, hiearchies, causality etc. Disciplines as evolutionary attractors in scientific progress can be mapped out by semantic similarity algorithms and dimensional reduction clustering.

Our minds are free to think anything about reality! In the beggining before thinking about anything, there is just full potential, where anything can become true. Let's explore various ways of looking at the world in different stories we tell ourselves.
It is totally arbitrary, but some dreamed up constructs are more useful in different contexts than others.

===No assumptions, any knowledge -> Description in all concepts===
In the ultimately deconstructed state, our minds are free to think anything about reality, they can have any bayesian priors in the statespace of consciousness.
In the beggining before thinking about anything, there is just full potentiality, there is a mental model superposition of everything being neither true nor not true, meaning that classical logic itself is another rulebased construction that can be transcended.
As we explore the world we collapse this superposition into various concrete forms as we explore various ways of looking at the world in divfferent stories we tell ourselves.
Philosophy
Philosophy is thinking about thinking, systematizing the systematized, exploring arbitrary symbolic languages with arbitrary questions about for example truth, ethics and nature of reality.

What is the nature of reality? What's the role of physics? What's the role of the mind?
Do both physics and minds exist in a connected way and they are not inside eachother? (Dualism) Or are they inside eachother/one emerging from the other? (Monism) Is physics fundamental and mind emerges from it? (Physicalism) Is mind fundamental and physics emerge from it? Are laws of physics inside the mind? (Idealism) Are laws of physics actually laws of consciousness? Is all matter conscious? (Panpsychist physicalism) Is something third fundamental? (Neutral monism) Is information fundamental? [Seth Lloyd - Is Information Fundamental? - YouTube Seth Lloyd - Is Information Fundamental? on Youtube] Are all fundamental together and its just different points of view on the same deeply ieffable thing that we can never grasp in its totality? (Synthesisim) Is this a question that doesn't make sense and doesn't fundamentally touch any "deeper reality" and its just linguistic play?

Philosophy -> Epistemologies
===Philosophy -> Epistemologies -> Description only in introduced language and concepts that is linear, bottomup===
What is the nature of knowledge and truth? Does knowledge come primarly from direct sensory experience? (Empiricism) (Enactivism) From intellect? (Rationalism) Build by experiences and reflections on them? (Constructivism) Is a proposition true according to how much practical consequences it has? (Pragmatism) Is there inherent uncertainity to the possibility of having certain knowledge? (Skepticism) Is knowledge built upon a foundation of basic self-evident truths or experiences? (Foundationalism) Are beliefs justified if they cohere or fit well with other beliefs within a system? (Coherentism) Is truth and knowledge not absolute and varies depending on culture, society, or individual perspectives? (Relativism) Does the strength of a signal determine how true it feels? Do conscious systems see reality as it is or just some abstract approximated representation of it, or its not reality at all? (Direct vs indirect vs no realism) [Imgur: The magic of the Internet Landscape of science realism lenses] Are our models just useful data compressing approximations of our some dynamics, informed by natural sciences and their empirical methods?

What actions are right or wrong? If it leads to the most overall happiness or pleasure or generally gain in value?

(Virtue ethics) Is it determined by individual and cultural beliefs? (Relativism)
Philosophy -> Identity

What is our identity? Are we a segment? (Closed individualism) Are we a physical system that starts existing when it is born and stops existing when it dies, when it dissolves? (Secular) Is there a soul that is minduploaded to heaven? (Christianity, Islam) Are we in a cycle or reincarnation? (Hinduism) Are we a spacetime-slice or a moment of experience? (Empty individualism) Are we everyone?

Philosophy -> For science
===Philosophy -> For science -> Description only in introduced language and concepts that is linear, bottomup===
For science I'm gonna assume empiricism that assumes that truthness of a model is determined by its predictive and explanatory power guided by occam's razor.
Then baysianism that assumes that this model is slowly determined by slow updating of its structure according to what evidence in empirical data are presented. For example seeing a giant flying pink unicorn is not matching my probability of seeing a unicorn, so assuming I'm not high on psychedelics I might update my "probability of seeing a unicorn" model to higher than 0. [How to systematically approach truth - Bayes' rule - YouTube How to systematically approach truth - Bayes' rule by Rational Animations on Youtube]
All our models we assume are finding regularities in some dynamics by useful approximations.
Concrete empirical measurements and the predictive mathematical models build on top of them is the ultimate minimization of vagueness, filtering signal out of noise.
Though measurement outcomes still depends on what tools we use to measure and what mathematical and philosophical assumptions we use to contextualize them in.
===Philosophy -> For science -> Description in all concepts that is nonlinear, topdown===
For science, I'm gonna asssume by empirical bayesianism constructed approximating model of reality in physicalist combination of quantum physics and quantum information theory as fundamental ontology which is also panpsychist emergentalist and is optimized for pragmatic utilitarism focused on mathemazited collective psychological valence optimalization and longtermist survival and progressive flourishing.

Sociology is collective psychology. Psychology studies dynamics of biological conscious physical systems on mostly nontechnical functional level. Consciousness studies study dynamics of conscious physical systems on all levels, functional and physical, using nontechnical and technical, mathematical or nonmathematical language. Biology is selective chemistry. Chemistry is applied physics. Physics is math constrained by reality. Mathematics is a type of symbolic language that is constrained by rules and consistency. Logic studies potential consistent rules. Philosophy is thinking about thinking, systematizing the systematized, exploring arbitrary symbolic languages with arbitrary questions about for example truth, ethics and nature of reality. Language is a communication protocol studied by linguistics and is an emergent property from biology or systems in general. Systems science, mathematical physics and statistics is one possible language for all science fields, including studying the whole universe or humanity as a whole in relation to everything else.

I love to juggle different ontologies depending on what is currently pragmatically useful. Not being commited to any particular ontology feels extremely free and full of relief. In explorative analytical mode I am not loyal to any particular set of I love to explore what kinds of assumptions can exist and what are their advantages and disadvantages in as neutral way as possible. In explorative experiental mode I love to explore what its like to deeply experience different ways of being, such as being one with everything on open individualism or nonexistence on empty individualism or increased sense of agency and unlimited possibilities of statespace of consciousness in idealism because of less attachment to the "physical being". Being agnostic because of difficulty or impossibility of empirical testability can free oneself from not optimal lenses. Being sceptic can find out disadvantages efficiently. Seeing reality as fundamentally mysterious and nongraspable by any concepts generates tons of awe and generates openminedness and epistemic humility meaning one has no total certainity about truthness and accuracy and fundamentalism of his models by dereifying concrete beliefs. We are all one because we're all locally embedded in the global universal wave function but we are also it through fundamental interconnectedness, relationality, nonseparability of everything, no system can ever be fully isolated. We're all also slices in spacetime or nothing at all because nothing is ever permanent. We're all also observing and acting systems that are segments that come into existence and dissolve into entropy because that's pragmatic notion to navigate everyday world and to engineer neurotechnologies and do other science. Fundamental optimistic assumption that things will get better both tries to predict the future but also forms it because collection of agents with doom assumption will have lesser motivation to change the world for better and thus decreasing the chances of it by that belief existing!

Science -> Physics -> Mechanics
Mechanics is concerned with the relationships between force, matter, and motion among physical objects.
Mechanics - Wikipedia#Sub-disciplines
Science -> Physics -> Classical -> Classical mechanics
Describing dynamics of average sized objects in average speed with average size.
Classical mechanics is a physical theory describing the motion of macroscopic objects, from apples falling down to projectiles to parts of machinery and astronomical objects, such as spacecraft, planets, stars, and galaxies. The earliest formulation of classical mechanics is often referred to as Newtonian mechanics with its equations of motion.

Science -> Physics -> Classical -> Classical mechanics -> Intuitive description
Objects are point particles, objects with negligible size. The motion of a point particle is determined by a small number of parameters: its position, mass, and the forces applied to it. In reality, the kind of objects that classical mechanics can describe always have a non-zero size. (The behavior of very small particles, such as the electron, is more accurately described by quantum mechanics.) Objects with non-zero size have more complicated behavior than hypothetical point particles, because of the additional degrees of freedom, e.g., a baseball can spin while it is moving. However, the results for point particles can be used to study such objects by treating them as composite objects, made of a large number of collectively acting point particles. The center of mass of a composite object behaves like a point particle. Classical mechanics assumes that matter and energy have definite, knowable attributes such as location in space and speed. Non-relativistic mechanics also assumes that forces act instantaneously.

Here I will be using cartesian coordinate system in euclidian space. An euclidean space is an affine space (an affine space is what is left of a vector space after one has forgotten which point is the origin) with a real and finite-dimensional vector space together with an inner product. A vector space over a field F is a non-empty set V together with two binary operations satisfying the axioms of linear algebra.

Position of a particle in classical mechanics is a vector from the origin as a function of absolute time (any given pair of events is the same for all observers) in euclidian geometry. There may be arbitrary number of particles.
particlePosition(time)=(right,up,left) r(t)=(x,y,z)
Velocity, rate of change of displacement with time, is derivative of the position with respect to time.
particleVelocity(time)=rateOfChange(particleVelocity(time)) v=dr/dt
Velocity is a vector with length (speed) and direction (when reduced to a unit vector) Velocity = Speed*DirectionUnitVector u=dt
In the context of two moving objects, velocity of the first object velocityOfTheFistObjectFromPointOfViewOfTheSecondObject=VelocityMagnitudeOfTheFirstObjectFirstObjectDirection - VelocityMagnitudeOfTheSecondObjectSecondObjectDirection u'=ud+ve

-
It does not fully explain baryon asymmetry, incorporate the full theory of gravitation as described by general relativity, or account for the universe's accelerating expansion as possibly described by dark energy. The model does not contain any viable dark matter particle that possesses all of the required properties deduced from observational cosmology. It also does not incorporate neutrino oscillations and their non-zero masses.

This is my favorite interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Quantum Darwinism is a theory meant to explain the emergence of the classical world from the quantum world as due to a process of Darwinian natural selection induced by the environment interacting with the quantum system in the process of decoherence; where the many possible quantum states are selected against in favor of a stable pointer state. Pointer states are quantum states, sometimes of a measuring apparatus, if present, that are less perturbed by decoherence than other states, and are the quantum equivalents of the classical states of the system after decoherence has occurred through interaction with the environment.

The holographic principle is a property of string theories and a supposed property of quantum gravity that states that the description of a volume of space can be thought of as encoded on a lower-dimensional boundary to the region.
AdS/CFT correspondence is application of this, a conjectured relationship between two kinds of physical theories. On one side are anti-de Sitter spaces (AdS) which are used in theories of quantum gravity, formulated in terms of string theory or M-theory. On the other side of the correspondence are conformal field theories (CFT) which are quantum field theories, including theories similar to the Yang–Mills theories that describe elementary particles.

Effective Individual And Collective Wellbeing Engineering - Qualia Research
You can perform long, expensive quantum mechanical simulations to reproduce chemical processes. It's a lengthy process to simulate just a few picoseconds of a dozen atoms interacting, and the difficulty scales exponentially with the number of particles (a little bit less with good approximations, but the point stands). It's all theoretically possible, but for 99% of chemistry its still not practical to simulace chemistry just using fundamental physics. Quantum computers are more and more helping in simulating quantum systems!
These tools allow us to study physical systems froms a more zoomed out bird eye abstracted view to reduce the giant complexity of the underlying interacting particles for us to more easily grasp and simulate reality on higher scales.

In physics, an effective field theory is a type of approximation, or effective theory, for an underlying physical theory, such as a quantum field theory or a statistical mechanics model. An effective field theory includes the appropriate degrees of freedom to describe physical phenomena occurring at a chosen length scale or energy scale, while ignoring substructure and degrees of freedom at shorter distances (or, equivalently, at higher energies). Intuitively, one averages over the behavior of the underlying theory at shorter length scales to derive what is hoped to be a simplified model at longer length scales.

As the scale varies, it is as if one is changing the magnifying power of a notional microscope viewing the system. In so-called renormalizable theories, the system at one scale will generally consist of self-similar copies of itself when viewed at a smaller scale, with different parameters describing the components of the system. The components, or fundamental variables, may relate to atoms, elementary particles, atomic spins, etc. The parameters of the theory typically describe the interactions of the components.

In mathematics, particularly in dynamical systems, a first recurrence map or Poincaré map, named after Henri Poincaré, is the intersection of a periodic orbit in the state space of a continuous dynamical system with a certain lower-dimensional subspace, called the Poincaré section, transversal to the flow of the system. More precisely, one considers a periodic orbit with initial conditions within a section of the space, which leaves that section afterwards, and observes the point at which this orbit first returns to the section. One then creates a map to send the first point to the second, hence the name first recurrence map. [Poincaré map - Wikipedia Poincaré map Wikipedia]

In physics and the philosophy of physics, quantum Bayesianism is a collection of related approaches to the interpretation of quantum mechanics, the most prominent of which is QBism (pronounced "cubism"). QBism is an interpretation that takes an agent's actions and experiences as the central concerns of the theory. QBism deals with common questions in the interpretation of quantum theory about the nature of wavefunction superposition, quantum measurement, and entanglement.[1][2] According to QBism, many, but not all, aspects of the quantum formalism are subjective in nature. For example, in this interpretation, a quantum state is not an element of reality—instead it represents the degrees of belief an agent has about the possible outcomes of measurements. Participatory realism: reality consists of more than can be captured by any putative third-person account of it. [Quantum - Wikipedia_Bayesianism Quantum Bayesianism - Wikipedia]

Easiest example is finding the neural correlate of wellbeing.

Different models of consciousness approximate different causal relationships, structure, properties, functions of conscious systems. They have different advantages and disadvantages! I like them all together.

Is consciousness reducible, approximately reducible, or irreducible? Does it even exist? No model will be a total understanding, since no consciousness and physics models are explaining everything and totally predictive. Really is so complex!
It's also working under physicalism, what if panpsychism is the case, or some kind of dualism or different kind of monism? We can never know. Maybe those questions dont make sense at all. Maybe reality in this domain is ieffable!
Let's test under physicalism and empiricism? Some parts of the brain break down under anestesia or other unconsciousness, or do we need global breakdown of functional massage passing like in cessations under predictive coding?

This still assumes nonconsious systems existing. Or that the other system suddenly didnt become conscious as we unified with it. What if nonconscious systems don't make sense from panpsychist perspective? Why is all physics by default not conscious? Can we trust our phenomenology, how linked is it mathematically to brain dynamics, or conscious physics in general? What if solipcism is actually true? Do these questions even make sense objectively, or is it all subjective philosophical play and possible confusion? We don't know! What if predictivity of models is really the only truth we can trust and everything else is arbitrary? We have to do so much testing!
I like all approaches, but we know so little. What if really we need multiple of those mathametical conditions to be met for a system to posses consciousness? I don't know where to put my bayesin certainity to at all. The causal factors seem to be all over the place, from proposed theories to measurement attempts. Some tell us great stuff about how we process information. Some tell us stuff about biology. Some tell us stuff about underlying physics, classical, statistical, relativistic, quantum, some kind of unity... What if its really simple as just one brain region, lol. What if its so complex that we need to solve quantum gravity first, hah. What if both? What if we're doing something that's totally disconnected from reality, or all approaches make certain sense at the same time and we just need to unify big chunk of them? Why do we even ask this?

Cognitive science knows we don’t construct experience as it actually is, but some apprimate representation of it, (indirect realism) we construct an internal world simulation, a generative model with all our beliefs. [Predictive coding - Wikipedia Predictive coding - Wikipedia] Visual illusions show this the best. All of it can be analyzed using all sorts of methapors, intution or mathematics from physics and beyond. (neurophenomenology)
Matrix is pretty close. Best methaphor is that we live inside a videogame engine that the brain tells itself that helps us survive. And we can do some many things with this simulation!
Let’s deconstruct experience.
[[File:WorldSketch.png|500px|Alt text]]
What is your experience right now? That depends on lots of factors. Do you feel a stable sense of identity at all times? Do you tend to hyperfocus on a task so hard that you literally become the thing you’re focusing on? Most people feel like they’re some identity (their thoughts, conditionings, some source) behind their eyes,. This “me” source uses arrow of attention to pay attention to all sorts of objects – cats, this text, even thoughts. This “me” is the center in our experience, our actions happen from it from the inside to the outside, environmental factors and other forces happens to it from the outside. The “me” self model and “my thoughts” can be labelled as physical or beyond physics in some spiritual realm. (dualism vs monism) This me (physical part of it) lives inside some home, on top of some earth, in some universe with euclidian space with linear continuous time, in multiverses and so on. This universe is made of intuitiove ideas, less technical (things just happening and moving by their will or without their will) or more technical (classical mechanics of all sorts of things) or different ideas we have about physics (particles, fields, algorithms, information, strings,..), or out of consciousness, or combination, or something else, depending on how much you think about these topics in which direction. (physicalism vs idealism) And we assume we exist, or that there is in general some kind of existence.
All of this can be played with. Normally you sit and see things around you, the beauty of nature and complexities of our social system. They’re things in your field of consciousness that move around and transform. We can make intutitive models trying to predict them, or use physics for it.
As long as any mathematics used to model conscious experience resonate with someone’s experience, or can be simulated, or are connected or directly the models used in neuroscience from classical architectures to machinery from quantum field theory, they’re technically empirically valid. It becomes objective when big chunk of people resonate with the mathematics or/and when its directly empirically observed in the brain dynamics. The goal of neurophenomenology is to connect the mathematics of experience with the mathematics of the brain dynamics.
Let’s build experience bottom up on top of assumptions, which can be dereified, transformed, dissolved, strenghtened, as they can be seen as bayesian priors in our cortical hiearchy, [The Bayesian Brain and Meditation - YouTube The Bayesian Brain and Meditation] [OSF On the Varieties of Conscious Experiences: Altered Beliefs Under Psychedelics (ALBUS)] how can that be achieved I will write later. Let’s use the simplest language possible.
Something exists. Some structure exists. Empty set. Let’s call it
Existence = ()
This existence can be empty, which represents nothingness, or potentiality for anything, superposition of all possibilities. To fill this existence with something concrete, lets give it 3D space with contents that evolve in space and time.
Existence = (Space*3(Contents), Time)
Time can be a discrete or continuous number representing linear time. Space can have euclidian geometry, or hyperbolic geometry on DMT. We can use classical mechanics or choose to use more advanced math. In some math, space and time are inherently interlinked. In other math, spacetime doesn’t need to be fundamental at all. Contents are now an empty set, let’s fill them according to the top picture.
Contents = Universe(Earth(Humanity(Self’s house(Self, Cat, Center = Self’s behind eyes, Attention(Center, Cat))))))
This is very simplified notion of encoding that inside universe (which can be some intuitive thing, physicalist notion, or field of consciousness) there is earth and on it humanity that includes self’s house which includes self, cat, center of experience located behind self’s eyes, and attention arrow currently looking from the center to the cat.
Each thing can have many mathematical definitions, for example it can be modelleted as an arbitrary geometrical shape that satisfies certain properties (what our brain’s neural classifiers learned to pattern match as things in our experience), or a markov blanket.
Most of these things are running in the subconscious for most people as most people don’t pay attention to modelling themselves inside a universe and just model themselves in their neighbour with no big models, such as for example:
Contents = MyCountry(MyHouse(Me),BobsHouse(Bob), Friend(Me,Bob))
This person would be aware of spacetime with him in his house and bob in his house and their friendship relation.
We can model decomposing all things into parts and atoms, or see things as wholes. Some functions of some systems cant be seen that much without considering the whole.
In terms of meditation, we can start with:
Contents = Universe(Earth(Humanity(Self’s house(Self, Center = Self’s behind eyes, Attention(Center, Self’s breath))))))
And then we can start decomposing it. There might be much more processes happening in our mind. We can locate thoughts and feelings, and start paying attention to that. We can do mathematical analysis on top of them, noticing their shape using geometry and topology, or how they’re made of just vibrations. This can be modelled in classical field theory, hamonic analysis. We can look at their information using information theory. We can deconstruct everything if we want, or just analyze, or energize what we want, create arbitrary mind constructs, identities, world, whatever. We can create healing deities radiating love to all beings. We can make spacetime radiate nourishment, love and kindness to all living beings and objects. Love and dissolution increases information flow, induces relief, increases symmetries and consonance.

Attention can have many shapes. Attention might be seen as arbitrary topological shape like any other in our experience, but acting as thermodynamic information flow bridge from point A to B. When we deconstruct center, cender suddenly becomes nowhehre and everywhere and it tends to break attention. Me in humanity in earth in universe is a hiearchy that can be temporarily dissolved. We can dissolve all vibrating clusters of sensations that are particles forming ecosystems and interacting subagents with various math properties. We can end up with just the experience of centerless infinite vast still quiet space. That can be deconstructed into nothingness, and even beyond existence. Formless state tends to be neither perception nor not perception (Jhanas) or neither existence nor not existence, where linguistic conceptualizing cognitive faculties and memory breaks down, void, structurelessness.

Science -> Consciousness -> Concrete phenomena -> Annealing
===Science -> Consciousness -> Concrete phenomena -> Annealing -> Layman description===
Neural Annealing can be understood in terms of this analogy: Brain is like a metal. When it gets used in activities that take effort, you start to feel tearing and inconsistencies in your experience, less symmetries in the metal's (brain's) structure (tissue and activity). The smoother the metal is, the more pleasant it feels. (Symmetry Theory of Valence) Activities that energize you (in the sense that they make you less tired), that don't work with concrete thoughts (meditation, psychedelics, music, excercise, cold showers, breath work, strong emotions,...) heat up this metal, that starts to melt and fill up the tears and reconfigure the metal into a more symmetrical shape, which then cools down (integration) and you feel more peaceful, calm, relaxed, energized, smooth, happy, in flow, effortless, blissful, joyous, loving, connected, holistic, complete, fullfilled, in the moment,...

The process of dissolving local structures and unifying is achieved by annealing. Here’s a simplified example, suppose the shape on the left is a shape corresponding to brain’s world model’s topology before, then it gets injected with a lot of energy (neural activity) through energizing meditations of psychedelics, which results in different parts of the brain synchronizing and things happening out of their own boundaries as the activity is overflowing from everything to everything. The resulting topology of the neural networks after this process gets smoothened out, more interconnected, more holistic! Injecting the field of consciousness with energy, leading to disintegrations and fusion of local before divided ecosystems of particles resulting in a topology with more efficient information propagation and less contracted energies generating stress!

Synthetizing what lots of functioning trauma healing strategies have in common leads to something like:
1) establishing safe trustable context, respecting and potentially slowly expanding window of tolerance - creating more safe, trustable, loving, caring, confident, connecting, accepting, grounded (Polyvagal Therapy), relaxed, calm, powerful, forgiving, hopeful, playful (Play Theraphy) context - getting out of traumatic environment (family, work, community,...), establishing trust with healer, psychotherapist, group (Group Therapy & Peer Support Groups) or creating trustable internal memories/parts/subagents/priorities/processes - for dialog between them in Internal Family Systems), or trusting the source or background of experience (Comprehensive Resource Model)
2) in this context enabling and opening traumatic memories/parts/subagents/priorities/processes though enabling the correct related associations (Prolonged Exposure Theraphy, Brief Eclectic Therapy, Narrative Exposure Therapy, Inner Child Work, EMDR) and putting words, feelings, imagery to it, conceptualizing it, exploring the repressed parts (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), getting access to the whole chunk of the traumatized part of the brain, or the body where trauma might be in interrelated way be stored as well as tension (Somatic Therapy), where massage or breathwork or can help as well to relax
3) in this open window for change, reframing through reliving those memories in this better context (Coherence Theraphy, Cognitive Processing Therapy), building a new connected self with less dissociation, balancing between change and acceptance (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and potentially learning healthy coping strategies with any distress (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
4) integrating into a more healthy environment with above properties, preventing further harm by learning healthy boundaries (respecting one's needs and also needs of others to certain extend) (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and knowing environments with potential redflags that have potential for retraumatizing Neuroscience models assume that trauma is maladaptive bayesian beliefs with too high percision responding to stress [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6961115/ Untitled] or patterns of dissonance in the nervous system [Healing Trauma With Neural Annealing Healing Trauma With Neural Annealing] that can be changed via the above memory reconsolidation process Various belief weakening substances like psychedelics, entactogens, dissociatives can help in belief transformation by weakening those sticky structures in the nervous system, or downers in relaxing, or betablockers in memory reconsolodation, or stimulants in focusing on the memories and so on.

Paying the least amount of effort to the breath and nothing else. If mind starts doing anything else, come back to breath, without getting angry or forcing it in relaxed way

Noticing the sense of background vastness, stillness, silence
Seeing all local structures (mental and muscle contractions) as not needed for safety (ideas about the self and the world, defence mechanisms, what comes up when you think about death which doesn’t want to be dropped and let go off) and getting into empty space with no resistance
Looking for sense of spacetime and deconstructing it
Noticing how everything is made of nothingness
Deconstructing even nothingness itself

I suspect there is a genetic parameter, modulated by environmental factors or overall experiences, that sets your baseline rigidity of structures in your nervous system, giving rise to loose mind, and i sense my starting point baseline was more on the fluditity side in this axies already both genetically and environmentally (when i look at my family and through what kinds of experiences ive been though), for an avarage person it is pretty hard, but the more one meditates, the easier it gets - i suspect this distribution of baseline states and of how well one learns these skills lay on the logarithmic scale/gaussian.
What meditation trains is the ability to turn it on and off whenever you want, or edit it more easily, leading to experiences with much less suffering, getting more flexibility, more flow state, more ability for deep rest.

Its cultivating the agency over how your sense of self and overall world simulation is constructed.
Though increased overall fluidity can have its disadvantages as well, such as being in a rigid model for a longer amount of time might be less stable.

After psychologically dying so many times on meditation’s cessations and 5-MeO-DMT psychedelic, a sense of one continuous linear identity/experience/self doesn't make sense anymore, there is lack of globally connected continuity after death ripped a hole into the linear flow of phenomenal time.
Everytime i think of peak 5-MeO-DMT experience, my mind stops on complete awe in what the god is even possible to experience, the literal sense of infinitely big totally energized field of consciousness full of sacred meaning before transcending beyond spacetime and into total structurelessness. It shows me how much we know nothing, how everything we think is so fragile, so we can pick the mental tools that are the most useful to us in our everyday life without getting stuck in unhelpful stuff we feel as totally real. It helps me dissolve on meditation more easily as well as """i""" dont fear psychological death that much anymore. In direct experience i can experience much more easily the sense of how all of our language and modelling is relational and not individualistic, """I""" wouldn't exist withot everything else in our shared colective linguistic/overall hallucinated universe (selfworld model with all its sense gates), instead of our individual parts of it. There was no "me" or "meeting". Structurelessness is the closest word I have for it. It feels beyond language and concepts but includes them all. Since it feels like it includes all experience, our everyday experience made of it in a sense. It feels like the most general allencompassing (not only mathematical) structure possible. But also not, hah, escapes all classical logic. All paradoxes in classical logic are nonclassicaly true. It's approximately like "normal experience" is this infinitely small blib in this enormous possible infinitely giant statespace of consciousness.
All of this so much dereifies the self, makes it much more flexible, fluid, """you""" gain agency over the sense of """you""", more easily deconstruct and reconstruct it however you wish. I still get sometimes stuck in some addictive stimuli, such as social media, or underestimate how various environmental influences can have lots of effects over my state of mind that are hard to handle in combination with my hypersensitivity to everything, on which i still work a lot, but in comparision to before, its much better. The power of flexible more aware mind adds a lot, but its a never ending path in a sense, as its still strengtening the mind's neural central executive network's etc. muscles.

Science -> Social systems -> Concrete phenomena -> Current state of our world and its future
Many statistics about the world are looking bright! [Is the world getting better or worse? A look at the numbers | Steven Pinker - YouTube Is the world getting better or worse? A look at the numbers | Steven Pinker - YouTube] Poverty is going down for example. We have better than ever healthcare technology. But at what costs? let's look at all the numbers.
In this chapter we delve into what is the current state of the world and its future. What crises people propose and what does the data imply? what are possible futures? What existencial risks are more and more probable? What are the solutions to mitigating, preventing bad things from happening? How to solve causes and symptoms of the world's biggest problems? What to do if things already go bad? When trying to enact solutions, how to take in account that many people are trying many different things?
These risks and what they're affecting don't exist in isolation. For example AI is affecting lots of things in our system, such as education and culture. And for example, there are people trying to both pause AI and accelerate AI, which results in both attempts happening in different parts of our system and interacting with eachother. Multiple things need to happen together, for example AI doesn't exist in isolation, solutions should synergize together, maximizing their advantages, minimizing their disadvantages!
We should also remember that predicting future is hard, because humanity is a chaotic system sensitive to intial conditions and we have finite computational power to grasp the complexity of the world, that might be irreducible on such a scale.

Science -> Social systems -> Concrete phenomena -> Current state of our world and its future -> Multipolar traps aka moloch
I'm gonna start with explaining one simple concept from game theory that's gonna show up everywhere as we discuss various crises and risks.
Multipolar traps aka Moloch is a risk that is under lots of other risks driving lots of crises.
Moloch is the personification of the forces that coerce competing individuals to take actions which, although locally optimal, ultimately lead to situations where everyone is worse off. Moreover, no individual is able to unilaterally break out of the dynamic. The situation is a bad Nash equilibrium. A trap.
One example of a multipolar trap, a Molochian dynamic, is a Red Queen race between scientists who must continually spend more time writing grant applications just to keep up with their peers doing the same. Through unavoidable competition, they have all lost time while not ending up with any more grant money. And any scientist who unilaterally tried to not engage in the competition would soon be replaced by one who still does. If they all promised to cap their grant writing time, everyone would face an incentive to defect. [https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/moloch Moloch definition of LessWrong]
More examples are the Prisoner's Dilemma, dollar auctions, overfishing, Malthusian trap, capitalism, two-income trap, agriculture, arms races (technology, nuclear weapons), races to the bottom, education system, science, and government corruption and corporate welfare.

Simple, right? Stop producing CO2. But this isn't as easy. Companies have to do it out of their will and agree together. it would be benefitial for everyone if everyone stopped causing climate change, but its not happening because of competition on the market. If my rival won't stop, i won't as well, if I don't wanna economically loose. This is a special case of above mentioned multipolar trap. For example social/moral pressure or regulations have to direct them instead, since emegent bottomup global coordination doesnt work.

Some people argue our economic system is fundamentally unsustainable, because its built on exponentially growing GDP (and critique GDP being a good measure of progress) and thus exponentially extracting resources that replenish linearly or never. Finding new resources can help. Technology can help build better more susianable resources or digitalize economy, but it all still runs on finite physical processes. When we look at why past cities collapsed, one of the common reasons is unsustainability trap. [The Dark Side of Conscious Ai | Daniel Schmachtenberger - YouTube Daniel Schmachtenberger: Will Technology Destroy Us? - YouTube] Economy is also critiqued for seeing tree as how much money you get from the wood, instead of it being part of giant ecosystem which when breaks down causes droughts and can cascade to food scarsity from climate breakdown.

As tensions increase, nuclear war gets more probable.
The current economic system was a solution to no wars happening after WW2, where growth was not mediated by war but by exponentially growing GDP of economies, which might be breaking now with exponential extraction of resources that replenish linearly and Russia is under such pressure which results in it attacking Ukraine. If we assume all nations want to fundamentally expontentially grow by GDP, technology, resources and other means, and if physically nonviolent ways of growing are not an option anymore, they use war to conquer and grow, is this Russia's current state? Would financially helping them instead of sanctions paradoxically help the war other than accelerate? Or would it accelerate as their tense hatred of EU/USA etc. and need for annihilation could be used realized more efficiently? Or are sanctions strong enough to kill all their power to conquer? Maybe there's some middle way to minimize the growth tension that leads to the war? Should Russia be disintegrated to end it's evolutionary pressures for war?

It's a natural force in our system. Competition can make more decentralized unregulated progress faster, but too much of competition and individualization and lack of global cooperation leads to problems like companies causing climate change because they would loose in the economical system, so what seems to only work is to regulate them by carbon tax (but even there corruption or lack of empirical reasoning can make mess), or make clean technologies more economically benefitial by rewarding their use or investing in their advancement. People racing in developing advanced AI to be first on the market without doing sufficient AI safety research is another example of molochian dynamics.
Science -> Social systems -> Concrete phenomena -> Current state of our world and its future -> Technology -> Automation -> Moloch at the core -> My thoughts
Molochian dynamics can accelerate other molochian dynamics in feedback loop, potentially leading to disintegration of our system because of lack of global top down or bottom up emergent cooperation. I think this is currently the most probable risk: [https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/LpM3EAakwYdS6aRKf/what-multipolar-failure-looks-like-and-robust-agent-agnostic What Multipolar Failure Looks Like, and Robust Agent-Agnostic Processes (RAAPs)] and what are currently the most efficient interventions are those that incentivize top down or bottom cooperation! Synergy of culture of connection, cooperation inducing governance and regulations, mass AI powered education about all of this that weakens emergence of molochian multipolar traps.

"Game B" is a conceptual framework that contrasts with "Game A". The terms have been discussed by various thought leaders and communities, primarily in the realm of systems thinking, societal evolution, and complexity. The concepts can be broken down as follows:
-
Game A:
-
Represents the current dominant socio-economic and political systems in which most of the world operates.
-
Characterized by competition, short-term thinking, hierarchical structures, and often unsustainable practices.
-
May lead to existential risks, environmental degradation, and societal inequality.
-
Game B:
-
A proposed new way of structuring society, economics, and politics.
-
Emphasizes cooperation over competition, long-term sustainability, decentralized and distributed systems, and resilience.
-
Aims to reduce existential risks and create a more harmonious, sustainable, and equitable world.
The transition from Game A to Game B is not about replacing one "game" with another in a simple, linear fashion. Instead, it's about evolving our collective thinking and systems to address the complex challenges we face in the 21st century.
Communities and thinkers discussing Game B often focus on topics like:
-
New economic models that prioritize well-being and sustainability.
-
Decentralized decision-making and governance structures.
-
The role of technology in facilitating cooperative systems.
-
Personal development and consciousness as foundational to societal change.
The concepts of Game A and Game B are abstract and can be interpreted in various ways. They serve as a starting point for discussions about how to transition from our current systems to more sustainable and equitable ones.
Goal of Game B is stable liberal democracy by educated on regenerative economy by degrowth or weakened sustainable growth disincentivizing overly competing selfcentered sociopathic agents.

Science -> Social systems -> Concrete phenomena -> Current state of our world and its future -> Bottom up culture of connection -> Unifying languages and visions -> Shared good future utopian or protopian vision -> AGI as better replacement of us aka Effective accelerationism
Effective Accelerationism has freedom to build technology as fundamental value, giving less weight to the probability of AI risks, more weight to it stopping progress more than it creating destruction, or stopping regulations causing regulatory capture. [Bloomberg - Are you a robot? US Warns EU’s Landmark AI Policy Will Only Benefit Big Tech] Certain cases of Effective Accelerationism posit that there is no way how will humans not selfdestruct themselves by various risks or crises and instead we need to build AIs as fast as possible so that they can be the next step in the evolution of intelligence as humans are already doomed because they're fundamentally unsustainable and there is way to change that (perhaps positing that any information processing is source of moral value by perhaps all of it being conscious). Goal of the more extreme cases of Effective Accelerationism is supergrowth with transhumanist transcendental longtermist utopia of AIs as a next step in evolution, replacing humans with AI.

Science -> Social systems -> Concrete phenomena -> Current state of our world and its future -> Bottom up culture of connection -> Unifying languages and visions -> Shared good future utopian or protopian vision -> AGI as better replacement of us aka Effective accelerationism -> My thoughts
I like the fact how this movement is pointing at the danger of regulatory capture, though its not really looking at how else to globally mitigate possible AI existencial risks, other than pointing at the fact that opensourcing AIs leads to better decentralized collective safety research, and also faster overall decentralized AI progress, which is true, but it also gives incompetent or bad actors more power to do destruction.
But i suspect in practice ultimately accelerating AI would just selfdestruct us even faster without any AIs after unless exponential growth of AIs getting better is truly so big that instead of AIs fighting and killing everything it will be suddenly one AGI absorbing everything extremely fast that nothing else can grasp it. I also think there is nonzero probability that we won't selfdestruct ourselves - more on that later. I think in practice we should really think about risks but also about not slowing down progress totally. Middle way! And we can still do as much as we can to prevent molochian dynamics by strenghtening cooperation as much as possible to prevent global catastrophic failure modes, but I understand why some people lost hope in that and see AGI Aš the only way to preserve interesting things (intelligence) happening in the universe. But having lost hope means it decreases those chances of hope selfrealizing itself in the real world even more, as that not only predicts Future but also forms those beliefs also form our collective actions! It also things this is objective physics of how things have to turn out with 100% certainity, and as a bayesian that gives nothing 100% probability, I'm not buying that really. Predicting reality of such big systems as humanity is almost almost impossible as uncertainity grows and chaotic nature of systems having totally different results in evolution from slight nudge in initial conditions like in weather, as humanity can be to certain degree seen as one giant weather system with slight mathematical correpondences from dynamical systems theory or systems science in general.

Science -> Social systems -> Concrete phenomena -> Current state of our world and its future -> Keeping good mental health while solving world problems
By looking into what should be fixed in the world for the benefit of all beings, we can run into hopelessness that things are unchangable. Always have a deep assumption that things instead are changeable! We also tend to install subagents inside our cortical hiearchy that might be overwhelming - You can counter that using other subagents, like deities of compassion that infinitely help all beings! Sometimes if mind goes haywire with all thoughts everywhere, you can use resting and deconstrucitve meditations ot rest in a void, in a hybernation state, for a bit, to recharge, to not burn out. Make sure to also do human things like socializing and caring for your health like going outside, excercising, eating good and so on, and not grinding all day!

Sociology is collective psychology. Psychology studies dynamics of biological conscious physical systems on mostly nontechnical functional level. Consciousness studies study dynamics of conscious physical systems on all levels, functional and physical, using nontechnical and technical, mathematical or nonmathematical language. Biology is selective chemistry. Chemistry is applied physics. Physics is math constrained by reality. Mathematics is a type of symbolic language that is constrained by rules and consistency. Logic studies potential consistent rules. Philosophy is thinking about thinking, systematizing the systematized, exploring arbitrary symbolic languages with arbitrary questions about for example truth, ethics and nature of reality. Language is a communication protocol studied by linguistics and is an emergent property from biology or systems in general. Systems science, mathematical physics and statistics is one possible language for all science fields, including studying the whole universe or humanity as a whole in relation to everything else.

Total freedom, potentiality for any symbolic or nonsymbolic structure
Our minds are free to think anything about reality! In the beggining before thinking about anything, there is just full potential, where anything can become true. Let's explore various ways of looking at the world in divfferent stories we tell ourselves.
Exploration of possible philosophical assumptions
===Nature of reality===
What is the nature of reality? Do both physics and minds exist in a connected way and they are not inside eachother? (Dualism) Or are they inside eachother/one emerging from the other? (Monism) Is consciousness fundamental? (Idealism) Is physics fundamental? (Physicalism) Is something third fundamental? (Neutral monism) Is this a question that doesn't make sense and doesn't fundamentally touch any "deeper reality" and its just mental model play? (Mysterianism) Is the dichotomy between physics and consciousness not a thing and they're one thing, is all physics conscious? (Panpsychist physicalism) Are those physical systems with some mathematical property the only individual conscious ones? (Nonpanpsychist physicalism) How is boundary of conscious physical systems determined mathematically? Do conscious systems see reality as it is or just some abstract approximated representation of it? (Direct vs indirect realism) Bayesian Brain and the Ultimate Nature of Reality - YouTube Is quantum physics, quantum field theory or other fundamental physics theory fundamental? (Physicalist reductionism) Are all emergent scales in science also as real, such as classical physics, biology, chemistry, sociology? (Emergence paradigm) Emergentism: A Philosophy of Complexity and Meaning with Brendan Graham Dempsey - YouTube Is information fundamental? (quantum information theory) Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023
===Identity===
What is our identity? Are we a segment? (Closed individualism) Are we a physical system that starts existing when it is born and stops existing when it dies, when it dissolves? (Secular) Is there a soul that is minduploaded to heaven? (Christianity, Islam) Are we in a cycle or reincarnation? (Hinduism) Are we a spacetime-slice or a moment of experience? (Empty individualism) Are we everyone? (Open individualism) Consciousness and Personal Identity: What does it feel like to believe we are all one? - YouTube
===Epistemology===
What is the nature of knowledge and truth? Does knowledge come primarly from direct sensory experience? (Empiricism) (Enactivism) From intellect? (Rationalism) Build by experiences and reflections on them? (Constructivism) Is a proposition true according to how much practical consequences it has? (Pragmatism) Is there inherent uncertainity to the possibility of having certain knowledge? (Skepticism) Is knowledge built upon a foundation of basic self-evident truths or experiences? (Foundationalism) Are beliefs justified if they cohere or fit well with other beliefs within a system? (Coherentism) Is truth and knowledge not absolute and varies depending on culture, society, or individual perspectives? (Relativism) Does the strength of a signal determine how true it feels? Are our mental model useful data compressing approximations of our internal and external dynamics, informed by natural sciences and their empirical methods? (Naturalized epistemology) https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/803428963435282452/1137803898552328314/image.png?width=787&height=600 https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/992213422274003066/1116711387394228224/20230609_145134.jpg?width=800&height=600
===Ethics===
What actions are right or wrong? If it leads to the most overall happiness or pleasure or generally gain in value? (Consequentialism, Utilitarianism) If they satisfy objective rules or duties that we must obey regardless of outcomes? (Deontology) Cultivating good character traits and virtues? (Virtue ethics) Is it determined by individual and cultural beliefs? (Relativism)
Most useful philosophical assumptions
I love to juggle different ontologies depending on what is currently pragmatically useful. Not being commited to any particular ontology feels extremely free and full of relief. In explorative analytical mode I am not loyal to any particular set of I love to explore what kinds of assumptions can exist and what are their advantages and disadvantages in as neutral way as possible. In explorative experiental mode I love to explore what its like to deeply experience different ways of being, such as being one with everything on open individualism or nonexistence on empty individualism or increased sense of agency and unlimited possibilities of statespace of consciousness in idealism because of less attachment to the "physical being". Being agnostic because of difficulty or impossibility of empirical testability can free oneself from not optimal lenses. Being sceptic can find out disadvantages efficiently. Seeing reality as fundamentally mysterious and nongraspable by any concepts generates tons of awe and generates openminedness and epistemic humility meaning one has no total certainity about truthness and accuracy and fundamentalism of his models by dereifying concrete beliefs. We are all one because we're all locally embedded in the global universal wave function but we are also it through fundamental interconnectedness, relationality, nonseparability of everything, no system can ever be fully isolated. We're all also slices in spacetime or nothing at all because nothing is ever permanent. We're all also observing and acting systems that are segments that come into existence and dissolve into entropy because that's pragmatic notion to navigate everyday world and to engineer neurotechnologies and do other science. Fundamental optimistic assumption that things will get better both tries to predict the future but also forms it because collection of agents with doom assumption will have lesser motivation to change the world for better and thus decreasing the chances of it by that belief existing!
===Assumptions for science===
I'm gonna unpack this in the next section:
For science, I'm gonna asssume by empirical bayesianism constructed approximating model of reality in physicalist combination of quantum physics and quantum information theory as fundamental ontology which is also panpsychist emergentalist and is optimized for pragmatic utilitarism focused on mathemazited collective psychological valence optimalization and longtermist survival and progressive flourishing.
Empiricism assumes that truthness of a model is determined by its predictive and explanatory power guided by occam's razor. Baysianism assumes that this model is slowly determined by slow updating of its structure according to what evidence in empirical data are presented. Approximating means that all our models we assume are finding regularities in dynamics by useful approximations.
Raw concrete empirical measurements and predictive mathematical models build on top of them is the ultimate minimization of vagueness, filtering signal out of noise. Though measurement outcomes still depends on what tools we use to measure and what mathematical and philosophical assumptions we use to contextualize them in.
Fundamental structure of reality for science
I'm gonna unpack this in the next section:
Physicalism means that what fundamentally exists are models of physics and quantum mechanics with quantum darwinism framed inside quantum information theory is our best current approximation that is set as fundamental. Panpsychist means that any unified bound individual system with information processing is a conscious entity and structure of experience corresponds to structure of it's physical dynamics and information networks. Emergentism means that the fundamental quantum physics layer/scale exists as equally as more surface classical scales such as dynamics of atoms, molecules, cells, functional brain regions, animals, societies, planets, galaxies and so on, where each scale can be studied using (quantum) information theory.
===Classical physics===
Let's start with classical physics to make sense of macroscopic phenomena, which means lets not look at the quantum behavior of microscopic fundamental particles. Newton's law of motion helps us predict the future trajectory of an object. Thermodynamics helps us predict how contracted heat aka energy has tendency to distribute itself into the surroundings according to the second law of thermodynamics where everything goes towards entropy aka eqilibrium. There are many types of classical differential equations that help us predict behaviors of lots of types of systems, such as how computers work, dynamics of neurons or different variables when analyzing society such as evolutionary economical models.
4th law of thermodynamics: organisms accelerate 2nd by converting negentropy into entropy by dissipation looking like they resist it.
===Information theory, Classical formulation of the free energy principle formalizing conscious agents===
Now let's talk about the free energy principle (FEP) that I'm gonna use as both epistemological framework (bayesianism) and to define physics of survival. ActInf Livestream #045.0 ~ "The free energy principle made simpler but not too simple" - YouTubeg
FEP is mathematical "truth", epistemological framework, scalefree classical or quantum physics information theoretic ontology, modelling language, generator of process theories for any physical systems across scales (mainly brain and society), machine learning architecture, psychology model, what else? Different fields speaking different languages require different types of explanations, such as for threorists, engineers, information theory, classical physics, quantum physics, machine learning people, philosophers, mathematicians, neuroscientists, biologists, complex systemists, psychologists, sociologists, laymen.
Free energy principle starts with defining a thing. It asks what must a thing that survives do? It must be stable. How it does that? It looks like as if its resisting the 2nd law of thermodynamics where systems tend to go towards entropy, towards disintegrated equilibrium. A thing is an open system, which means that its not fully isolated, where energy is coming inside and out of it via various entrances. It uses this energy to stabilize its structure to resist decay. 4th law of thermodynamics states that biological systems accelerate 2nd law by being a stable negentropic structure that serves as a machine that converts environment's negentropy into entropy through dissipation.
For example us eating food which is basis for our biological machine. How do we systematically find food in our environment? We must be able to predict it and act on it. How do we do that? Our brain approximates bayesian mechanics. What is that? Bayes theorem tells us the optimal way of processing information that natural selection approximately recruited in us, where the probaility of our model of the causes of our perception (aka priors) given our measured input sensory data being true aka corresponding to how it is statistically in reality can be calculated by probability of our input sensory data given our predicted causes times probability of our predicted causes, all divided by the probability of our input sensory data. The Bayesian Brain and Meditation - YouTube Issue is that when analytically calculating the last term we get combinatorial explosion, leading to it not being computable. Evolution sidesteps this issue by partially by evolution preprogrammed priors, such as subconsciously monitoring and influencing our blood pressure, or doing lots of partitioning of sensory data, such as dividing into different senses, doing distinctions between self and other, modelling our own ability to influence the world and so on, all of which is maintained in an always active generative model that acts as a software that looks at sensory data, compares it with our priors, and sends a prediction error if there is a mismatch, which creates evolutionary pressure to update our model of the world, such as for example changing our perspective on some issue when presented with different evidence (certain ways of thinking are stuck in rigid attractor where this mechanism of updating is malfunctioning) or for example when we see a pink unicorn dancing on a rainbow when on psychedelics we get confused and see it as outlier that probably isnt real according to our priors, but seeing lots of unicorns overtime might change our priors. Or we can act on the environment for out sensory data to meet our prior expectations. This whole process reduces our uncertainity about the world.
More generally and formally, a thing corresponds to a markov blanket, which is a graph of nodes that learn correlations from its surroundings where you can locate a statistical boundary, where depending on how this particle (an observer with a reference frame) is complex Imgur: The magic of the Internet you can locate nodes that seem to encode hidden states, meaning correlations encoding the outside world's (outside blanket's) structure, nodes that look as if they're just measuring and compressing the outside nodes, and nodes that look as if they're acting on the environment by statistical causal influence (doesnt exist in inert particles), and it tends to be nested a hieachy of markov blankets composed of markov blankets and so on, where you get dynamics of message passing and circular causal influence of the agent with the environment. Even more formally on this markov blanket a principle of least action is applied that minimizes statistical quantity of variational free energy that helps the model to be as accurate as possible while being the least complex as possible. It can be seen through the lens of thermodynamics as energy contractions and flow on this topology of information networks. You can crave certain neural classifiers or certain paths and then interconnect them via higher order nonlinear neural connections. The probability distribution which best represents the current state of knowledge about a system is the one with largest information entropy aka avarage amount of information or uncertainity inherent to the variable's possible outcomes. (generalization of thermodynamic entropy) Principle of maximum entropy - Wikipedia All of those insights can be used for ideal rational epistemology!
===Quantum physics===
We've covered classical physics so far, now let's look at quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is a general framework that can be used to study evolution and dynamics of particles like in classical physics, but instead of objects and particles as deterministic points or shapes in classical 3D space, their classical information becomes inherently probabilistic and a concept of entanglement is introduced that says that any two systems that are entagled are inseparable. When we apply quantum mechanics to the fundamental particles level, particles are represented using complex valued wave function that evolves the probability distribution of the possible particle's classical properties. In quantum electrodynamics Quantum - Wikipedia_electrodynamics or standard model or quantum field theory in general, particles are excitations of matter and interaction quantum fields that fill all of space.
===Unifying quantum with the classical, Quantum darwinism or other options===
Quantum darwinism Quantum - Wikipedia_Darwinism piece connects the quantum and classical world by saying that classical states with any classical bits are those quantum states that survived the process of decoherence, where decoherence is system's interaction aka entagling with the environment which results in loss of information. To minimize decoherence in quantum computers so that particle entaglement performing parralelized quantum computations isnt broken, one has to isolate the system and cool it down a lot. The survival of classical states is usually implemented by creating a lot of redundant information, so information about spin, location, or space can be located in the entaglement network we measure. Space and time can be seen as a quantum error correcting code. Is Spacetime a Quantum Error-Correcting Code? | John Preskill - YouTube Quantum entaglement can be seen as the glue of spacetime. Entanglement as the Glue of Spacetime - YouTube Where local more entaglement encodes less distance and less local energy. From Quantum Mechanics to Spacetime - Qiskit Seminar Series with Sean Carroll - YouTube Second law thermodynamics defines the arrow of time. Quantum version of second law of thermodynamics posits that entropy corresponding to entaglement is increasing overtime. The more overall entaglement there is, the futher global "time slice" of the universe it is. How Quantum Entanglement Creates Entropy - YouTube I'm gonna stay with this framework. Other options in physics is loop quantum gravity, where spacetime is emergent from loops, more abstract quantized spacetime Loop quantum gravity - Wikipedia , or string theory where spacetime is certain configuration of strings.
===Quantum formulation of the free energy principle===
What is the role of an observer? Let's formulate quantum version of the free energy principle. ActInf Livestream #040.0 ~ "A free energy principle for generic quantum systems" - YouTube.
This physics model on which observers are running can be seen as just collective observers' model that approximates the world on which observers run on by the free energy principle, or that it doesnt touch fundamental reality at all because evolution maximizes for fitness and not truth Exposing the Strange Blueprint Behind "Reality" (Donald Hoffman Interview) - YouTube.
===Emergence of all other scientific fields inside this framework===
Let's apply free energy principle scalefree and create a nested hiearchy of markov blankets corresponding to things governed by evolutionary equations of physics. Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023 [2303.04898] A variational synthesis of evolutionary and developmental dynamics On the most bottom level, things correspond to particles, those form higher order things with their own markov blanket such as molecules, proteins, cells, neurons, functional brain regions, animals ShieldSquare Captcha , people, communities, states, superpowers, planets, galaxies and so on. Higher scale implies higher complexity of dynamics. The complexity can be deflated by various differential equations used in different scientific fields. More generally its nested cone-cocone diagrams.
Consciousness
Any such markov blanket can be considered a conscious observer. Those particles that have complex enough dynamics where space and time is evolutionary useful as a gluing error correcting code experience spacetime. Experience is glued by bioelectricity Bioelectric networks: the cognitive glue enabling evolutionary scaling from physiology to mind | Animal Cognition that can be also seen as topological segments in information networks.
===Deconstructive neurophenomenology===
Meditations types: focused attention, open monitoring, nondual, mindfulness, love and kindness, gratefullness, deity visualization and merging, nondual love, nondual deconstruction, loving reconstruction
What is the structure of experience? It's all contracted information corresponding to energy stabilized by muscle clenching aranged in complex topological hiearchies. Principles of Vasocomputation: A Unification of Buddhist Phenomenology, Active Inference, and Physical Reflex (Part I) – Opentheory.net What is its topological structure? In the middle we have a self model, a giant global whirl in the center of experience's ocean, which is an epistemic agent hub, a global attractor (in big part the default mode network), which encodes our metastable to various degrees adaptible information categorizing identity. The Bayesian Brain and Meditation - YouTube Iẗ́'s one giant contracted blob of nested knotted energetic sensations. Attention is when this self model creates energetic tentacle to grasp and categorize and potentially identify with a sensation (tanha), for example "I am hearing this thought." where self is doing the process of hearing a sound sensation. Sensations already come in subconsciously precategoried into various sense modalities through process of symmetry breaking in the thermodynamic topological flow of energy through the information networks corresponding to activating various nested hiarchies of neural classifiers that does conscious and subconscious information processing. ActInf Livestream #040.0 ~ "A free energy principle for generic quantum systems" - YouTube!
Self is hiearchical tangled knot of learned conditionings, giant topological belief hypergraph with centralized or more distributed architecture, interconnected subknot activity attractors correspond to different subagents. Self is a castle made out of sticks with tentacles coming out of it catching and integrating sensations.
===Total freedom, potentiality for any symbolic or nonsymbolic structure===
In the ultimately deconstructed state, our minds are free to think anything about reality, they can have any bayesian priors in the statespace of consciousness.
In the beggining before thinking about anything, there is just full potentiality, there is a mental model superposition of everything being neither true nor not true, meaning that classical logic itself is another rulebased construction that can be transcended.
As we explore the world we collapse this superposition into various concrete forms as we explore various ways of looking at the world in divfferent stories we tell ourselves.
The more overall symmetrical an experience is neurophenomenologically, the more free, the more relieving, the more pleasant it is, the more psychological valence it has.
===Intelligence===
===Wellbeing===
===Meditation and psychedelics===
===Art===
Art touches our core or broadens our horizons, (through annealing) thermodynamic neural activity surfs on deepest or most association heavy dense bayesian priors or disrupts fixed points attractors in the landscape of learned patterns creating phase shift in neurophenomenological configurations and potentially install new one canalized experience though interplay of strenghtened/transformed/reduced beliefs
===Psychopathologies===
When a system experiences adverse experience, result can be top down hypergovernance (perfectionism, Russia totality) or disintegrated chaos (schizophrenia, anarchocapitalism, tribe wars, discoordinstion, moloch on steroids, Somalia)
===Trauma and trauma healing===
I feel like seeing what lots of functioning trauma healing strategies have in common and synthetizing them leads to something like this. https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/programs_campaigns/childrens_mental_health/atc-whitepaper-040616.pdf 3 Stages of Recovery from Trauma & PTSD in Therapy https://www.choosingtherapy.com/types-of-trauma-therapy/
1) establishing safe trustable context, respecting and potentially slowly expanding window of tolerance - creating more safe, trustable, loving, caring, confident, connecting, accepting, grounded (Polyvagal Therapy), relaxed, calm, powerful, forgiving, hopeful, playful (Play Theraphy) context - getting out of traumatic environment (family, work, community,...), establishing trust with healer, psychotherapist, group (Group Therapy & Peer Support Groups) or creating trustable internal memories/parts/subagents/priorities/processes - for dialog between them in Internal Family Systems), or trusting the source or background of experience (Comprehensive Resource Model)
2) in this context enabling and opening traumatic memories/parts/subagents/priorities/processes though enabling the correct related associations (Prolonged Exposure Theraphy, Brief Eclectic Therapy, Narrative Exposure Therapy, Inner Child Work, EMDR) and putting words, feelings, imagery to it, conceptualizing it, exploring the repressed parts (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), getting access to the whole chunk of the traumatized part of the brain, or the body where trauma might be in interrelated way be stored as well as tension (Somatic Therapy), where massage or breathwork or can help as well to relax
3) in this open window for change, reframing through reliving those memories in this better context (Coherence Theraphy, Cognitive Processing Therapy), building a new connected self with less dissociation, balancing between change and acceptance, and potentially learning healthy coping strategies with any distress (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
4) integrating into a more healthy environment with above properties, preventing further harm by learning healthy boundaries (respecting one's needs and also needs of others to certain extend) (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and knowing environments with potential redflags that have potential for retraumatizing
Some neuroscience models assume that trauma is maladaptive bayesian beliefs with too high percision https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6961115/ or patterns of dissonance in the nervous system Healing Trauma With Neural Annealing that can be changed via the above memory reconsolidation process
Various belief weakening substances like psychedelics, entactogens, dissociatives can help in belief transformation by weakening those sticky structures in the nervous system, or downers in relaxing, or betablockers in memory reconsolidation, or stimulants in focusing on the memories and so on.

Physicalism means that what fundamentally exists are models of physics and quantum mechanics with quantum darwinism framed inside quantum information theory is our best current approximation that is set as fundamental. Panpsychist means that any unified bound individual system with information processing is a conscious entity and structure of experience corresponds to structure of it's physical dynamics and information networks. Emergentism means that the fundamental quantum physics layer/scale exists as equally as more surface classical scales such as dynamics of atoms, molecules, cells, functional brain regions, animals, societies, planets, galaxies and so on, where each scale can be studied using (quantum) information theory.
===Classical physics===
Let's start with classical physics to make sense of macroscopic phenomena, which means lets not look at the quantum behavior of microscopic fundamental particles. Newton's law of motion helps us predict the future trajectory of an object. Thermodynamics helps us predict how concrected heat aka energy has tendency to distribute itself into the surroundings according to the second law of thermodynamics where everything goes towards entropy aka eqilibrium. There are many types of classical differential equations that help us predict behaviors of lots of types of systems, such as how computers work, dynamics of neurons or different variables when analyzing society such as evolutionary economical models.
===Information theory, Classical formulation of the free energy principle formalizing conscious agents===
Now let's talk about the free energy principle that I'm gonna use as both epistemological framework (bayesianism) and to define physics of survival. ActInf Livestream #045.0 ~ "The free energy principle made simpler but not too simple" - YouTubeg
Free energy principle starts with definining a thing. It asks what must a thing that survives do? It must be stable. How it does that? It looks like as if its resisting the 2nd law of thermodynamics where systems tend to go towards entropy, towards disintegrated equilibrium. A thing is an open system, which means that its not fully isolated, where energy is coming inside and out of it via various entrances. It uses this energy to stabilize its structure to resist decay. 4th law of thermodynamics states that biological systems accelerate 2nd law by being a stable negentropic structure that serves as a machine that converts environment's negentropy into entropy through dissipation.
For example us eating food which is basis for our biological machine. How do we systematically find food in our environment? We must be able to predict it and act on it. How do we do that? Our brain approximates bayesian mechanics. What is that? Bayes theorem tells us the optimal way of processing information that natural selection approximately recruited in us, where the probaility of our model of the causes of our perception (aka priors) given our measured input sensory data being true aka corresponding to how it is statistically in reality can be calculated by probability of our input sensory data given our predicted causes times probability of our predicted causes, all divided by the probability of our input sensory data. The Bayesian Brain and Meditation - YouTube Issue is that when analytically calculating the last term we get combinatorial explosion, leading to it not being computable. Evolution sidesteps this issue by partially by evolution preprogrammed priors, such as subconsciously monitoring and influencing our blood pressure, or doing lots of partitioning of sensory data, such as dividing into different senses, doing distinctions between self and other, modelling our own ability to influence the world and so on, all of which is maintained in an always active generative model that acts as a software that looks at sensory data, compares it with our priors, and sends a prediction error if there is a mismatch, which creates evolutionary pressure to update our model of the world, such as for example changing our perspective on some issue when presented with different evidence (certain ways of thinking are stuck in rigid attractor where this mechanism of updating is malfunctioning) or for example when we see a pink unicorn dancing on a rainbow when on psychedelics we get confused and see it as outlier that probably isnt real according to our priors, but seeing lots of unicorns overtime might change our priors. This whole process reduces our uncertainity about the world.
More generally and formally, a thing corresponds to a markov blanket, which is a graph of nodes that learn correlations from its surroundings where you can locate a statistical boundary, where depending on how this particle (an observer with a reference frame) is complex Imgur: The magic of the Internet you can locate nodes that seem to encode hidden states, meaning correlations encoding the outside world's (outside blanket's) structure, nodes that look as if they're just measuring and compressing the outside nodes, and nodes that look as if they're acting on the environment by statistical causal influence (doesnt exist in inert particles), and it tends to be nested a hieachy of markov blankets composed of markov blankets and so on, where you get dynamics of message passing and circular causal influence of the agent with the environment. Even more formally on this markov blanket a principle of least action is applied that minimizes statistical quantity of variational free energy that helps the model to be as accurate as possible while being the least complex as possible. It can be seen through the lens of thermodynamics as energy contractions and flow on this topology of information networks. You can crave certain neural classifiers or certain paths and then interconnect them via higher order nonlinear neural connections. The probability distribution which best represents the current state of knowledge about a system is the one with largest information entropy aka avarage amount of information or uncertainity inherent to the variable's possible outcomes. (generalization of thermodynamic entropy) Principle of maximum entropy - Wikipedia All of those insights can be used for ideal rational epistemology!
===Quantum physics===
We've covered classical physics so far, now let's look at quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is a general framework that can be used to study evolution and dynamics of particles like in classical physics, but instead of objects and particles as deterministic points or shapes in classical 3D space, their classical information becomes inherently probabilistic and a concept of entanglement is introduced that says that any two systems that are entagled are inseparable. When we apply quantum mechanics to the fundamental particles level, particles are represented using complex valued wave function that evolves the probability distribution of the possible particle's classical properties. In quantum electrodynamics Quantum - Wikipedia_electrodynamics or standard model or quantum field theory in general, particles are excitations of matter and interaction quantum fields that fill all of space.
===Unifying quantum with the classical, Quantum darwinism or other options===
Quantum darwinism Quantum - Wikipedia_Darwinism piece connects the quantum and classical world by saying that classical states with any classical bits are those quantum states that survived the process of decoherence, where decoherence is system's interaction aka entagling with the environment which results in loss of information. To minimize decoherence in quantum computers so that particle entaglement performing parralelized quantum computations isnt broken, one has to isolate the system and cool it down a lot. The survival of classical states is usually implemented by creating a lot of redundant information, so information about spin, location, or space can be located in the entaglement network we measure. Space and time can be seen as a quantum error correcting code. Is Spacetime a Quantum Error-Correcting Code? | John Preskill - YouTube Quantum entaglement can be seen as the glue of spacetime. Entanglement as the Glue of Spacetime - YouTube Where local more entaglement encodes less distance and less local energy. From Quantum Mechanics to Spacetime - Qiskit Seminar Series with Sean Carroll - YouTube Second law thermodynamics defines the arrow of time. Quantum version of second law of thermodynamics posits that entropy corresponding to entaglement is increasing overtime. The more overall entaglement there is, the futher global "time slice" of the universe it is. How Quantum Entanglement Creates Entropy - YouTube I'm gonna stay with this framework. Other options in physics is loop quantum gravity, where spacetime is emergent from loops, more abstract quantized spacetime Loop quantum gravity - Wikipedia , or string theory where spacetime is certain configuration of strings. Standard model quantum field theory is good because its the most empirically validated and not flying in string theoretic abstractions where supersymmetry is in danger. https://imgur.com/1CefH68
===Quantum formulation of the free energy principle===
What is the role of an observer? Let's formulate quantum version of the free energy principle. ActInf Livestream #040.0 ~ "A free energy principle for generic quantum systems" - YouTube.
This physics model on which observers are running can be seen as just collective observers' model that approximates the world on which observers run on by the free energy principle, or that it doesnt touch fundamental reality at all because evolution maximizes for fitness and not truth Exposing the Strange Blueprint Behind "Reality" (Donald Hoffman Interview) - YouTube.
===Emergence of all other scientific fields inside this framework===
Let's apply free energy principle scalefree and create a nested hiearchy of markov blankets corresponding to things governed by evolutionary equations of physics. Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023 [2303.04898] A variational synthesis of evolutionary and developmental dynamics On the most bottom level, things correspond to particles, those form higher order things with their own markov blanket such as molecules, proteins, cells, neurons, functional brain regions, animals ShieldSquare Captcha , people, communities, states, superpowers, planets, galaxies and so on. Higher scale implies higher complexity of dynamics. The complexity can be deflated by various differential equations used in different scientific fields. More generally its nested cone-cocone diagrams.
Minimize complexity of models by minimizing possible free parameters (Huxley neuron formalism has a lot of free parameters but theory of superconductivity doesn't)
Different Markov blankets in nature minimize free energy of their model in different niches to infer the biggest important information as possible in the least amount of bits
Cells in ebryos look for concetration of proteins in their surroundingse to infer their position
Visual systems estimiting motion looks for change in pixels times difference between neighbouring pixels
As we go to top scales in sciences we seek to minimize more and more free parameters, we want to be as closest as possible to deepest fundamental dynamics while not being lost in free parameters 2017 Buhl Lecture: The Physics of Life: How Much Can We Calculate by William Bialek - YouTube
So, if we wanna describe all natural scientific fields in one model using the quantum formulation of the free energy principle or overall quantum information theory and fundamental physics, we can use it to formalize the fundamental relationality of information in any other scientific discipline that studies arbitrary quantum systems that may or may not have classical correspondences in various models, where all models are useful approximations and evolutionary niches. [2303.04898] A variational synthesis of evolutionary and developmental dynamics All the mathematical models or differential equations used to predict dynamics in chemistry, biology, sociology, ecosystem science, astrophysics and so on are different special cases or approximations of those underlying quantum dynamics in quantum reference frames with holographic screens for communication that cause higher order causal information processing with agentic free energy minimizing modelling in nested hieachical bayesian graph and acting across scales. Can this be formalized as multiple cocone diagrams forming higher order cocone diagrams by informorphisms encoding higher order semantic information, a cocone diagram where nodes are themselves cocone diagrams, not just classifiers and semantics. Are the fundamental classifiers nonreducible information processing in physics, corresponding to the simpliest information processing of subatomic particles or excitations or loops or strings or something else, that together form collective information processing with shared context in a cocone diagram and that forms again higher order cocone diagrams up to theoretical infinity? Is this the nature of emergence of collective intelligences from collective intelligences? From (inert) simple interacting subatomic particles or other fundamental entity (that through entaglement form the quantum error correcting glue of spacetime) to atoms to molecules to cells to brain regions to brains to organisms ShieldSquare Captcha to communities to cultures to nation states to planetary systems to galaxies and so on, from lower order quantum information theoretic goals that bind and form a unit together getting higher order goals by this nested fractal cocone collective bayesian free energy minimizing information processing structure with top down and bottom up causality across scales performing active inference, where classical or quantum differential equations describing them tend to get more and more complex with increasing structural information processing complexity, but in some cases we can locate simple laws acting as good enough approximation for its context that can also sometimes be transposed across many contexts, is that convergent evolution of nature balancing between simplicity and complexity on all scales?

Is culture stable patterns aka shared context among many individuals? 2023 Course: "Constructing Cultural Landscapes: Active Inference for the Social Sciences")

Is ethics different evolutionary niches resulting from our internal evolutionary pressure to feel connected to the collective?
Is philosophy in general exploring the formation of arbitrary knowledge bayesian graphs?
Is law studying governing top down algorithms restricting or allowing certain types of behaviors of units, creating some shared context to minimize chaos?

Is journalism studying the attentinal system of our society?
Is military part of our immunity system?
Is wellbeing based in efficient uncertanity reducing colelctive behavior of various information processing subagents in the nervous system creating symmetrical dynamics that is interconnected with having shared context with other humans and overall collective reduction of basic needs among time?
Is metacrisis solving the cancerous dynamics, many misalinged active inference agents with the collective's long term wellbeing by strenghtening those aligned goals and reminder of interconnectivity and relationity of sciences and worldviews through education or AI assistants? Is consumerism hijacking our attentional limbic mechanisms and how we evolved to have lots of pleasure from things that used to be very rare in the past so that we would look for them (sugar, fat, important shocking news, porn etc.) For alignment and, do we cultivate culture of compassion. For wellbeing do we strenghten mental health knowledge and reduce environmental and information polution that destroys us? Do we strenghten democracy while teaching people about the metacrisis and polycrisis so that good political representitves are selected? What are the most effective interventions to our system that will a) increase the wellbeing of human population, b) increase collective efficient mitigation and resolving of symptoms and causes of risks and crises and c) making efficient material and psychological (that complement eachother) progress leading to flourishing. And how all those factors interconnect. How to make them respect, support and check eachother instead of fighting violently. Different people speak with different fundamental languages determining their actions so if one wants to change their action one should synchronize with their objective functions. Politics is a lot about the language of power. Corporations speak the language of money. Language of values. Language of ideology? Language of morality (appealing to politician's children's future life). Language of meaningful experiences and meaning in general. Supercooperators are the golden nugget against the metacrisis. What are the best evolutionary pressures for supercooperation clusters? Supercooperatior universities? Ctraining theory of mind and shared goal states via commpassion and dialog, psychedelics, meditation, unity, opposite of polarization, nonduality, cultivate holistic planetary awareness? Could massemailing people that have the biggest causal influence in determining humanity's trajectory while synchronizing as most as possible with their language lead to efficient evolutionary pressure towards a good third attractor that isnt dystopia like Russia and chaos like Somalia? What else is needed to make strong enough good evolutionary pressure in the evolution of societal architecture such that we dont selfdestruct eachother with existencial risks and environmental destruction? How to install altruistic dynamics into governing structures that are very much governed by power and money dynamics without becoming the memeplex transmittor of the language of power of money but instead a memeplex transmittor increasing chances of global supercooperation cluster?

===Deconstructive neurophenomenology===
What is the structure of experience? It's all contracted information corresponding to energy stabilized by muscle clenching aranged in complex topological hiearchies. Principles of Vasocomputation: A Unification of Buddhist Phenomenology, Active Inference, and Physical Reflex (Part I) – Opentheory.net What is its topological structure? In the middle we have a self model, a giant global whirl in the center of experience's ocean, which is an epistemic agent hub, a global attractor (in big part the default mode network), which encodes our metastable to various degrees adaptible information categorizing identity. The Bayesian Brain and Meditation - YouTube Iẗ́'s one giant contracted blob of nested knotted energetic sensations. Attention is when this self model creates energetic tentacle to grasp and categorize and potentially identify with a sensation (tanha), for example "I am hearing this thought." where self is doing the process of hearing a sound sensation. Sensations already come in subconsciously precategoried into various sense modalities through process of symmetry breaking in the thermodynamic topological flow of energy through the information networks corresponding to activating various nested hiarchies of neural classifiers that does conscious and subconscious information processing.

===Total freedom, potentiality for any symbolic or nonsymbolic structure===
In the ultimately deconstructed state, our minds are free to think anything about reality, they can have any bayesian priors in the statespace of consciousness.
In the beggining before thinking about anything, there is just full potentiality, there is a mental model superposition of everything being neither true nor not true, meaning that classical logic itself is another rulebased construction that can be transcended.
As we explore the world we collapse this superposition into various concrete forms as we explore various ways of looking at the world in divfferent stories we tell ourselves.

====Equation of Individual and Collective Happiness====
Happiness equation includes the interplay between nature and nurture, between many environmental and genetic factors.
Happiness = Genetics + Environment[3 Things to Know: Social Determinants of (Mental) Health | Hogg Foundation for Mental Health Social Determinants of (Mental) Health, Hogg Staff, 2018] + Action[https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17439760.2019.1689421?journalCode=rpos20 Revisiting the Sustainable Happiness Model and Pie Chart: Can Happiness Be Successfully Pursued?, Kennon M.

Lucas, 2007]
What genes we got, in what environment we grew up in, what do we do, together form the structure of the brain which is where happiness is stored. How does it look like in the brain? I will explain it more in detail below. Many of those factors overlap and influence eachother across levels.
Happiness = Not really serotonin[The serotonin theory of depression: a systematic umbrella review of the evidence | Molecular Psychiatry The serotonin theory of depression: a systematic umbrella review of the evidence: no consistent evidence, Joanna Moncrieff et al., 2022] but yes dopamine as motivation molecule + Genes (for example rs324420 A allele in the FAAH gene not breaking down anandamide)[The Molecular Genetics of Life Satisfaction: Extending Findings from a Recent Genome-Wide Association Study and Examining the Role of the Serotonin Transporter | Journal of Happiness Studies The Molecular Genetics of Life Satisfaction: Extending Findings from a Recent Genome-Wide Association Study and Examining the Role of the Serotonin Transporter: "potentiation of AEA by substitution of both rs324420 C alleles with A alleles contributed to improved stress resilience and fear extinction, involved in the hydrolysis of anandamide, a substance that reportedly enhances sensory pleasure and helps reduce pain", Bernd Lachmann et al., 2020][Enhancement of Anandamide-Mediated Endocannabinoid Signaling Corrects Autism-Related Social Impairment | Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research Enhancement of Anandamide-Mediated Endocannabinoid Signaling Corrects Autism-Related Social Impairment, Don Wei et al., 2016][Potentiation of amyloid beta phagocytosis and amelioration of synaptic dysfunction upon FAAH deletion in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease | Journal of Neuroinflammation>
What can we do to engineer this state? I go more into those in details below.
Happiness = Annealing activities (Symmetrifications)[Healing Trauma With Neural Annealing Healing Trauma With Neural Annealing, Andrés Gómez-Emilsson, 2021] + Resolving basic needs + Psychotherapies[Acceptance and commitment therapy - Wikipedia Acceptance and commitment therapy] + Meditation[Dharma Seed - Dharma Talks from Retreats Practising the Jhānas by Rob Burbea][Home - Hermes Amāra Foundation Rob Burbea][Do Nothing Meditation - Deconstructing Yourself Do nothing meditation, Michael Taft, 2017][Shinzen Young Day-Long Retreat at the Monastic Academy - July 22, 2017 - YouTube Day-Long Retreat at the Monastic Academy, Shinzen Young, 2017][Shinzen Young's "CHART of HUMAN HAPPINESS" - YouTube>

Annealing.[Healing Trauma With Neural Annealing Healing Trauma With Neural Annealing, Andrés Gómez-Emilsson, 2021] Time to shake things up and see where they settle. Brain is like a metal. When it gets used in activities that take effort, you start to feel tearing and inconsistencies in your experience, less symmetries in the metal's (brain's) structure (tissue and activity). The smoother the metal is, the more pleasant it feels. Activities that energize you, that I list below (in the sense that they make you less tired, increase energy parameter of then nervous system), heat up this metal, that starts to melt and fill up the tears and reconfigure the metal into a more symmetrical shape, which then cools down (integration) and you feel more peaceful, calm, relaxed, energized, smooth, happy, in flow, effortless, blissful, joyous, loving, connected, holistic, complete, fullfilled, in the moment,...[Thinking Like a Musical Instrument or Psychoactive Substances Give Access to the Nature of Brains - YouTube Thinking Like a Musical Instrument or Psychoactive Substances Give Access to the Nature of Brains, Qualia Productions, 2022]
Symmetrifications are done mostly through the process of annealing. (for example meditation) Some symmetrifications might be symmetrifying in the short term but asymmetrifying in the long term through oscillatory dynamics such as the hedonic treadmill. (too frequent dopaminogenic activities) Hedonic treadmill isn't an universal rule, many activities such as meditation can permanently shift the baseline hedonic state. Some global dissonant asymmetries can be kept alive by local consonant symmetrifications that feel good temporarily. (for example substances like heroin that mute the mind's pain (because of trauma or high energy depression for example) on the surface without dealing with the cause)
List all symmetrifications:

Each of them raise the energy parameter of experience and tend to dissolve local dualistic structures in favor of more global interconnected structure that manifest as high level connections insights and overall sense of less blocked experience, and also satisfies other kinds of basic needs:
Loving do nothing deconstructive meditation
Walking and running in nature
Reading/Listening to big picture thinking
Hot shower/bath
Talking about the depths of my mind with myself or with others or by writing
Deep slow meditative mindful tantric interaction with other people

====My favorite meditation algorithm==== Dissolve concrete local stabilizing structural energy sinks such as thoughts, intentions, imagery, concepts, ideas, abstract thought, conditioned classified objects as constructed subsets of raw sense data with added abstract structure and feelings about them, percieving raw sensations themself, by tuning into quiet vast still spacious empty boundaryless centerless awareness, empty awake space, quieting the mind. See the emptiness (dreamlikeness) and dissolve global fundamental stabilizing stuctural energy sinks behind everything that form the sense of ground in experience by classifying and freeying them by for example nociting global relaxation and their spacious lightness - sense of doer, attention, watcher, self and other distinction, time, space, boundary, center, coordinates, background, knowing, local and global being, truths, ontology, somethingness, perception, nonperception, neither perception nor not perception, trancending the transcendence itself, any "fundamental" classifications, dissolve any logic, any distinctions, any structures in general. Destabilizing any codependently mutually (self)stabilizing clusters of symbolic or intuitive processes by raw not knowing and looking without concepts by generating stochasticity. After this deconstruction into unified stochastic void when everything starts reconstructing, throw in infinite love, kindness, caring, connectedness, healing, light, meaningfulness, protecting, cherishing, safety, comfort, smoothness for all mental objects that emerge in any reconstructed emerged dual category by imagining a deity of compassion radiating wisdom, love, kindness, caring in all directions, merging with her, helping infinite beings using infinite limbs relieve their suffering and feel the best poisitive valence experience they have the potential to feel full of inifinite love and wellbeing, including you as you are a being too, she, aka you, has love for totally every being.
====Neural Annealing in practice====
You can energize (reinforce) mental objects by directing attentional arrow to it, by it being aligned with valence gradient (aethetics, resolving basic needs), sensory data (what aligns with "reality" or imagined expectations is reinforced), surprise (prediction error adds entropic activity to fix prediction errors to tune models by finding policies to edit internal models or act on the world), you can also modify (transform) it into a more consonant symmetrical shape, you can energize it so much that its dissolves by overwhelming, you can weaken attentional resources (forces) by globalizing them (attention to background stillness, vastness, silentness, boundarylessness, centerlessness, infinityness,...) resulting in global smoothening as local topological shapes in the neural tissue through global acticity gets more coarsegrained, more smoothened, more redistributed, and you can also avoid mental objects.
Love or seeing constructedness (illusorynessness) of mental phenomena seems to be an universal dissolver of any mental object or conditioned reactive patterns of behavior canalizations. Or explicit relaxation of any contracted qualia.
Canalized Mr Meeseeks protective subagents - dissolve by showing them counterfactual proof that they dont need to be so defensive in a new environment and that they can relax.
Dissolving held psychotic (misaligned with other processes or destructive rather than helping) beliefs with showing them opposite evidence, relativizing them away.
Avoiding overly protective subagents by not getting into hostile environments or consume limbic hijacking fear inducing memeplexes on social media or news. Satisfy the objective functions and create compromises in your whole ecosystem of subagents having different priotiries, don't isolate any as then he tends to canalize protective structures hostile against others.
Depressive beliefs such as "Everyone always leaves", "People look at me like they hate me", "I am afraid I will say something stupid" are also dissolvable with counterfactual evidence. One can create a dialog between the hurt subagent and a "healer" subagent, asking about what it is, what its priorities are, how it was formed, what other beliefs or subagents it depends on
Some linguistic or abstract mental construction is seen as true if many observes agree on its validity using different epistemological strategies, beliefs present in a population can be disrupted or reinforced or novel ones created by mutating or creating a new belief that is compatible with the culture's current aethetics (superstructure framing priors that are preffered according to their consonance with the whole) and spreading it succesfully darwinianly.
Any neural operator (psychotool or a substance) that symmetrifies neurophenomenology tends to also increase energy, probably because of disintegration of energy sinks so unsinked energy flows randomly with much less attracting forces, which might lead to seeing visuals as well.
Energy sink can act as a neural classifier taking sensory data as input and outputing other thoughts or actions. Low energy depression seems to be damping energy through no learned agency. (hopelessness isnt learned, its that no agency is learned Helplessness Is Not Learned - Neurofrontiers ) Which might be seen as no sensory patters cascading into possible actions, no dopaminogentic motivation. Symmetrical representations can create global cascade of activation of neural representations from just one through more interconnected neural topology (meditation and psychedelics increase that). We can damp energy by getting into gettign stuck into some one solid mental object. One can collapse from deconstructed entropic state back into some highly specialized context to concetrate all that free computational power into one task and use it all there, its asymmetry (high overfitted specialization) can damp overall energy.
Any mental and physical activity that increases energy follows period of decreased energy, so thats a way to overall dampen energy as well. The stronger the increase, the stronger the decrease tends to be. Gradual increasing can be achieved by slow gradual increase such that neural networks adapt to a new baseline, just like progressive overload in fitness.
When it comes to shifting energy from one task to another one, one can in the global context see reason for doing that to generate motivation. We climb valence gradients realized as error reduction slopes of solving the problem better than expected, so depending on our aethtics and current problems we solve in life, we can shift our attention by lubricating those fundamental objective functions in our deepest bayesian priors, which also increases wellbeing through increased sense of meaning and motivation and reduces procrasination.
More trust, more bayesian prior, aethetics, goal synchronization, leads to more efficient belief transmission, more efficient updating of maladaptive priors. Ideal psychotherapheutic setting definitely depends on the cultural aethetics of the client - some people are raised religious, some secular, some think more in mechanistic terms, some think more in fantasy narratives and so on.
Songs are definitely also subjective to high degree as they active consonant memories through context dependant associations leading to good transformative trips.
Songs with long global consonant tones are great for global information processing. Extremely fast songs are good at local information processing. Some songs have both in parallel which is great for combined information processing.
In the extremely deconstructed meditation/psychedelics induced states, no concrete selforganized collective of problem solving subagents (clusters of coherence) fighting for attention but instead the contents of the field of consciousness is dissolved into one giant wave of mostly nonclassifying symmetrical activity (example jhanas, sense of merging with God) with some highly symmetrical structures forming as source of beauty (example nature, poetry, art), which is all also present in (nondual) (optimistic nihhilism) philosophies (just being, being like water (flow state not interrupted by rigid concrete expectations), seeing beauty in everyday things), trance is energizing by repeating (symmetrical) stacked patterns in sensory modelities that's overriding existing potentially dissonant patterns creating global symmetrical metastable attractor mind state that can be futher reinforced internally or from the environment by compatible proofs or overall tautological logic.

===Agency===
Great talk about how limited metacognitive agency over thought and preferences is implemented in the mind Conversation between Mark Solms, Chris Fields, and Mike Levin 2 - YouTube
aka the ability to decide what your next thought and preferences will be is limited by our phenotype (the set of observable characteristics or traits of an organism (in this case of our mind)) emerging from genetic and environmental influences
Technically Big five model of personality or Jung's archetypes are describing phenotypes
By being raised in specific culture also determines a phenotype in thinking and behavior
In dynamical systems language its an attractor
There also seem to be various neural correlates that determine the strength of forms of agency, such as disconnection of certain brain regions in unconctollable destructive addictive behavior.
Someone should invest heavily in brain computer interfaces enhancing the control over ourselves by strenghtening those neural networks 😃
I find this as fascinating start when it comes to decoding thoughts Semantic reconstruction of continuous language from non-invasive brain recordings | bioRxiv

Hmm here they locate what goes wrong in decreased sense of agency Neural correlates of sense of agency in motor control: A neuroimaging meta-analysis - PubMed
I would argue the development of the networks implementing healthy sense of agency needs to be fundamentally supported by training them like muscles (genetics also play a role) so there's evolutionary pressures for them to be developed. This seems to be the fuction of certain meditation practices, going out of comfort zone practices, systematic dedication to one bigger task skill, stabilizing routine skill, or delayed gratification practices 🤔
Its also interesting how stimulants or lower doses of psychedelics tend to increase agency
===Compassion===
Compassion is fundamental mental muscle to cultivating strong human relationships that are number one predictor of individual and collective wellbeing. We need more culture of compassion in our culture.
We take so many to us deeply important human connections for granted and when they start dissapearing we start to see their true worth.
Be grateful, compassionate, connect, love.
It fascinates me how people on the death bed tend to care much less about how much money and work they did, but that they should have strenghtened the human connections with those they love the most that might be gone already leading to strong griefing.
I love one lens on psychotheraphy, that lots of psychotherapeuts see their clients mechanistically and try to look for a mechanistic problem that needs to be solved according to predefined symbolic trees/ methodologies. This definitely has its use and should be used a lot, but fusing rationality with intuition is IMO ideal. But I would argue that to fully understand the lens of the other beings that might be deeply suffering, one should try to synchronize with them as much as possible mentally.

The deep compassion definitely has its advantages and disadvantages, as feeling the suffering of others so directly can really overwhelm one's mental state if not enough healing to get back into less suffering states is done. It also seems that in the current loneliness crisis, therapheuts tend to be the only people that create at least some human connection for some people that feel fundamentally lonely. We need more culture of compassion for people to feel more connected to eachother.

===Meaning and selfactualization===
====Hyperspecific obsession==== After basic needs are met, hyperspecialized ecosystem of aligned problem solving subagents in one mind or collective that build structure by acting on mental states (example intellectual growth learning) (example sciences, philosophy, art, fantasy, knowing everything about rocks, theories of everything) or the world (example pragmatic application of knowledge in the real word towards some less or more grandiose visions) (example hobbies, engineering, cars, computers)
====Community - social graph==== Leader, or collective of leaders (governing structures), has hyperspecific obsession, lead the collective into its wellness by high level management of subagents, (example state ideologies, utopian visions, collective risks) giving concrete meanings with common goal signaling by visions to the collective's parts by outsourcing needed actions (example engineering, science progress, and application, knowledge growth, solving basic needs, wellbeing engineering, surviving, managing existencial risks, upgrading, evolving, growing, entertainment, unifying culture engineering, engineering access to novel experiences or ways to relax, science communication, minimizing friction in ecosystem of interacting diverse differently evolutionary specialized total mental frameworks aka world views aka lenses aka points of view aka ways of seeing (evolutionary adapted hiearchy of bayesian priors forming homeostatic problem solving subagents through interaction interaction and with the environment by reading/writing states, reading signals reinforcing current state or pointing to or forcing change from others, sending signals aka massage passing in active inference)), beating outgroups in status and power (even tho noncooperative zero sum games of groups competing for same resources probably lead to disaster for everyone) (ingroup outgroup divisions are increased by individualization, increase of languages of what divides us, loss of languages of what unites us)
Relationships, family - similar to community but on lower scales, they tend to be bound by implicit biological synchronizations, but that seems to get dissolved in more psychologically or physically intimite, or polyamory communities, then there are people with lone wolf philosophy that are very individualistic.
====Entropic dissolution into everything==== In the extremely deconstructed meditation/psychedelics induced states, no concrete selforganized collective of problem solving subagents (clusters of coherence) fighting for attention but instead the contents of the field of consciousness is dissolved into one giant wave of mostly nonclassifying symmetrical activity (example jhanas, sense of merging with God) with some highly symmetrical structures forming as source of beauty (example nature, poetry, art), which is all also present in (nondual) (optimistic nihhilism) philosophies (just being, being like water (flow state not interrupted by rigid concrete expectations), seeing beauty in everyday things), trance is energizing by repeating (symmetrical) stacked patterns in sensory modelities that's overriding existing potentially dissonant patterns creating global symmetrical metastable attractor mind state that can be futher reinforced internally or from the environment by compatible proofs or overall tautological logic.

====Generalized meaning of life====
We are attempting to find what is in us out there. We are selfactualizing, selfevidencing. Trying to align what we predict as perfect homeostatic conditions about us and the world with what we measure by changing environment through changing our inner models or by changing our environment thorugh actions. Trying reduce uncertainity about our conditions for hardwired basic needs and culturally learned objective functions, of our hiearchical graph of subagents. Trying to create synchrony between the self model and world model. Reducing uncertainity/dissonance -> increasing relaxation, destressification -> symmetrification. Flow state might be seen as stress source that is unstressing everything else in experience, even that stress can be dissolved on meditation and psychedelics. Good predictor and regulator of a system must be a model of that system.
===Cessations===
Cessations are decrease in neural synchronization in alpha bandwith, dissolution of functional integration, functional linking between different ares of the brain, break down of coordinated message passing, increased phase lag index measure Ep201: Revealing Nirodha Samāpatti - Delson Armstrong, Shinzen Young, Chelsey Fasano, Dr Laukkonen - YouTube EEG Connectivity Using Phase Lag Index - Sapien Labs | Neuroscience | Human Brain Diversity Project
Turning off, dissolving, restarting the running software full of hiearchical beliefs, markov blanket homeostats, stored in the cortical hiearchy hardware. The Bayesian Brain and Meditation - YouTube OSF
Moments before cessation is like sense of all symmetry breakings dropping, all layers of the onion of experience decostructing themselves and turning off, in a domino effect, all cognitive faculties, including the self and other distinction and percieving nor not percieving process

How does setting an intention enable regaining consciousness at a desired point in time? Probably in a similar way how you learn to wake up from naps. I suspect you throw in the timing intention as some deep unconscious automatic process canalized through time by repetetion. OSF

Suffering and fear is caused by the mental objects we construct and we can unlearn doing that using this process of dissolution of local nonlinearities where distincting objects are stored in the connectome as rigid structure. With no objects there "is" just some effortless flowy undisturbed nonconconceptual happening by its own.
===DMT entities and gods===
DMT entities and Gods are higher order selfsynchronizing superselfmetaprogramming agent metaprocesss, usually outside of self model's agency, editable indirectly, you can merge with them, such as with god of compassion on meditation, or the God of Everything on 5-MeO-DMT as global coherence of clusters of brain dynamics, dissolving internal boundaries. DMT entities can be seen as competing clusters of coherence.
DMT entities and Gods are standard background noise of self stabilizing software agents that normally parasitize on organismic information processing networks but get amplified when you blow yourself out of your brain on psychedelics.
Gods are metaphors for nonsymbolic aka intuitionbased aka Fristonian free energetic force or attractors in the neurophenomenological statespace.
They are usually some extreme of the psyche,: freedom, unity, suffering. Or symbolisms for something: fertility, sea, underworld, art.
DMT entities can be projections of sociodynamic landscapes. For example, Jesters/Clowns/Harlequins express "narcissistic vibrational modes" of consciousness. Their traps & childish playpen energy is a manifestation of conditional love.
Bodhisattva energy, on the other hand, is a manifestation of unconditional love modes of consciousness. It's such a different kind of vibrational landscape!
DMT can help you see what kind of social dynamics you are subconsciously modeling as your "default mode of interaction". [https://twitter.com/algekalipso/status/1602578160943599617 Andrés Gómez Emilsson tweet]
DMT activates a notion of observing foundational agency, while dissociating the individual self. Fractalized agency = machine elves, Gaia-ized agency = Pascha Mama, unified agency = cosmic consciousness, contracted unified agency = cosmic core [https://twitter.com/Plinz/status/1364675761781628928 Joscha Bach tweet]
With classic psychedelics, which stand somewhere between DMT and 5-MeO-DMT in their level of global coherence, you always go through an annealing process before finally “snapping” into global coherence and “becoming one with God”. That coherence is the signature of these mystical experiences becomes rather self-evident once you pay attention to annealing signatures (i.e. noticing how incompatible metronomes slowly start synchronizing and forming larger and larger structures until one megastructure swallows it all and dissolves the self-other boundary in the process of doing so).[On Rhythms of the Brain: Jhanas, Local Field Potentials, and Electromagnetic Theories of Consciousness | Qualia Computing On Rhythms of the Brain: Jhanas, Local Field Potentials, and Electromagnetic Theories of Consciousness]
God, or ontology and morals in general, as this ultimate abstraction on the highest level that controls everything else in the lower levels in some ways, and top down processing!
Higher abstractions are bending the spacetime of lower abstractions in a cortical hiearchy! You merge with god/nature/reality on meditation or psychedelics when those kinds of hiearchies dissolve into hiearchyless attractor where everything influences and synchronizes with everything! Nondual unified oneness! [A Sensory-Motor Theory of the Neocortex based on Active Predictive Coding | bioRxiv A Sensory-Motor Theory of the Neocortex based on Active Predictive Coding]

Ethics Just Look At The Thing! – How The Science of Consciousness Informs Ethics — EA Forum Bots
The Symmetry Theory of Valence 2020 Overview
What are your ethics?
Effective buddhahood of internal and external compassion: evaluating beliefs and actions according to calculating an integral of total psychological valence and sustainability of consciousness among time and space
i call my ethics approximate practical utilitariasm such that edge cases and unrealistic scenarios that wouldnt be compatible with the current system that can be mathematically optimal are taken out (plus taking in account the limiting power of the models)
for example if you assume negative utilitarism and some buddhist notions that all concrete life is suffering then the optimal utilitarian move is to get rid of all concrete life to prevent any futher suffering lol
and if suffering is futher generalized by asymmetries in panpsychist framework then the optimal utilitarian move is to theoretically convert the whole universe into zero structure absolutely symmetrical state
more generally if we mathematize psychological valence, it seems that where the line saying this is neutral valence, between positive and negative valence, where its set seems to be arbitrary
if we assume different buddhistic notions (or other framework's notions) where positive valence exists too, then its about maximizing that utility, though in the panpsychist symmetry formalism its again creating as much symmetries in physics as possible
5-MeO-DMT trips or Jhanas that are meditative states are with almost no structure, with the least amount of symmetry breaking in experience, which seems to be measured in the brain as well to a first approximation, and I also dont know any other states of consciousness that feel as good as those assuming the utility we maximize is psychological valence under those formalisms
though pragmatically we need to take in account the whole societal system's all sort of natural laws, game theoretic survivability, ressilience, stability, progression out of bad local minimas and so on
Sociology
===Effective Collective Wellbeing Engineering===
====Context====
What are the underlying causes of all the problems we are as humanity facing, such as nuclear war to environmental degradation to animal rights issues to class issues, what do these things have in common?
"We have to shift is the economy because perverse economic incentive is under the whole thing, there's no way that as long as you have a for-profit military-industrial complex is the largest block of a global economy that you could ever have peace there's an anti-incentive on it as long as there's so much money to be made with mining, etc., like we have to fix the nature of economic incentives!"
"The core of the thing that we have to address is education because you can have so much change occur in a generation if those children are growing up different as as different as it is learning Chinese is your first language versus learning English we're so neuroplastic by the time we're adults we're not that neuroplastic we're kind of screwed if you get education right we want adults who care about the animals and the oceans and the contend to all of these things and can think complexly if we really get education right we'll be able to solve everything it's upstream from all that!"
"Really the thing is it's about social media because we're continuously being bombarded and we were ready to go do a capital Riot or a George Floyd protester Riot or whatever it is based on the stuff that's coming in if we could change the media environment of what people were in taking it would change all of these things!"
"No the thing is really at the end of the day it's about government and law and how do we get that right because the economic incentive wouldn't be that same issue if we could govern it properly if we could force the internalization of the price of carbon and get carbon pricing properly and get costs of everything proper all that would be fixed but we have to do that through law so how do we fix governance and law!"
"You can't because laws written by lobbyists that get paid for by somebody and wherever the economic motive is what's going to pay for that which is why you have to think about economics and a lot of the other so the key is political economy and how do you get that!"
"No really the key is actually parenting what we've really got to do is restore the family because before education by the time that kid goes to school at five or six that so much of their identity and psyche and value system has already said it happens early on we have to actually change the entire culture to have parenting emphasize raising better kids from the beginning!"
"Everything you're saying is so anthropocentric the key is the environment because we're none of us are anything without the environment like you have to prioritize that everything else doesn't matter that much and like what is an economy like we can breathe without money we can't breathe without air and so be less anthropocentric and focus on the integrity of the environment because that's upstream from everything!"
unifying languages, cultural compassionate transformation expanding caring cognitive lightcones, mental health reform, antimoloch narratives, (secular?) religion, structure of cities, preparing for climate/economic migrants
The answer to all of the problems is all of the solutions! There is not a theory of change, there's an ecology of theories of change! People can get fundamentalist about their particular solution because if you're working on something you should really care about it but in really caring about it you can become overly narrowly focused. Everything is complexly interacting, there's not a solution, there's lots of things that need to happen! I want patterns of how to think about it, and I want frameworks for how to think about it, I don't want people to attached to those frameworks because they'll be useful but also limiting and to realize the cultural aspects do involve education and media and parenting religion and lots of other things and the structure of cities and you know in the political economy aspects involve lots of things and so getting past the zealotists and reductionist focus and being able to get how do all these things come together is key to understanding properly! - YouTube
Let's model societal system using the active inference model from complexity science and see different subsystems in our society as different cognitive architectures and different attempts to change as different differently succefull evolutionary pressures on those. How to create the most succesfull evolutionary pressures to steer civilization away from molochian (short term competitive local gain in power at the cost of everyone's long term wellbeing) selfdestruction?
Moloch is the personification of the forces that coerce competing individuals to take actions which, although locally optimal, ultimately lead to situations where everyone is worse off. Moreover, no individual is able to unilaterally break out of the dynamic. The situation is a bad Nash equilibrium. A trap. https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/moloch
How succesful are the current pressures? Where do we need more impactful solutions? Let's map it out!
for policymakers, economics, governance, climate,...
====Summary====
There is a landscape of crises and (existencial) risks we face, landscape of solutions to them with different degrees of success, all acting as evolutionary forces in the Active Inference model of the global societal system
====Context====
The first outcome of the project will be a unifying map of literature that looks at approaches to identify threats to humanity and how to mitigate them with concrete actions.
It will find similarities and synergies between the approaches, exploring both pessimistic and optimistic perspectives, including making positive future visions real.
Examples of threats are AI risk, bioweapons, climate change, nuclear war, sensemaking and coordination failures, population wellbeing decline, adaptability, meaning and loneliness crisis.
The results will be contextualized using technical but readable format of science based mathematical Active Inference modeling framework and communicated by articles, videos, online and offline lectures in high impact communities.
The project will reach out to theoretical and applied researchers, allowing them to find problems to work on, and those working on similar problems to find collaborators, helping to increase the chances of a good future for everyone.
Project goal is to create a science based literature that maps out and bridges different research and applied research communities looking into the problem of existential risks and population wellbeing. It will communicate it in relevant high impact places, leading to more effective global coordination about these problems. The project outcome will serve as a navigation map, connect compatible research groups together, as well as motivate and incentivize groups to advance progress on their respective solutions with supporting research.
====Introduction====
Metaanalysis and synthesis of research literature regarding various approaches to solving the problem of existential risks (including AI risk) and population wellbeing management.
Using Active Inference and other complementing complex systems mathematical modelling and analysis tools as a concrete technical language to contextualize and synergize various approaches while finding novel solutions.
Map out the space of proposed solutions. Create science based plans to reduce the probability of bad scenarios happening and reduce the probability of extinction if bad scenarios already happen.
Communicate this research’s concrete solutions in research community and to places like Effective Altruism to implement the solutions in practice.
For example how to increase collective rationalism, adaptability, resilience, mental hygiene, connection, coordination by better communication, alignment of biological and artificial agents, or having structures monitor and solve existential risks.
====Goal====
Project goal is to create a science based literature that bridges between different research and applied research communities that are solving the problem of existential risks and wellbeing, and creating new solutions, and communicating it in those places, creating more effective global coordination. If a research or applied research group uses my literature as a navigation map, or if I manage to connect compatible research groups together, or motivate or incentivize a group to advance progress on a solution that is missing (for example missing nuclear fallout shelters), I take that as a win.

-
When thinking more into the future: Create a an institute with research team monitoring current risks and solutions to them cooperatively on opensource website, framing it in complex systems science language, creating predictions of future, communicating the research in impactful places to incentivize practical application of needed sciencebased solutions
====Abstract====
My project is about tackling the problem of making it as humanity into the future in the most flourishing way. Societal wellbeing, mitigating existencial risks, failure modes, cooperation, flourishing, resilience, adaptivity, sustainable material progress, psychological progress, meaning crisis, polycrisis, metacrisis and so on. I am using the language of information theory, specifically active inference, or more generally Karl Friston's free energy principle, a technical language that can synthetize insights from humanities or mathematical sociology into complex adaptive systems mathematics! I think anything can be grounded in this language!
What influenced me the most? Karl Friston's free energy principle, Bobby Azarian's Universal bayesianism, daniel schmachtenberger's work on the metacrisis, work from qualia research institute, Active Inference community looking into wellbeing, psychology, sociology, collective action, goal alignment, failure modes in unsuccesful modelling and so on
Methodology is incremental learning of big picture languages, then concrete big picture theories inside them and then concrete models and empirical data supporting those
It conveys how societal physics looks like when they're reporting high degree of wellbeing, progress and long term global coordination and sustainability
We have trouble with comprehending the complexity of societal issues. Just like the nervous system isnt disconnected from other systems in the body, or how human individual isnt disconnected from the social system, we don't take in account how everything is very interconnected and influences everything in our modern interconn cted globalized world. We face challenges that Are deeply interconnected in nature. By seeing society as one big information processing modelling adaptive system made or interacting such systems, we can integrate complex dynamics inside one language and make sense of it all more easily. By analyzing the current statistics of our issues, such as climate or sensemaking, se can infer where are our weaknesses and heal the symptoms or causes of the issues it generates. We can see how different approaches to solving the meaning, poly and metacrisis can share much in common and how succesful they are in practice.
Some core insights are that we suffer from too much order, too little interconnected systemic thinking, excess of competition, disintegration of social cohesion, too little global coordination, not feeling moral responsibility for all future generations enough, lots of psychopathic active inference agents externalizing harm because of game theoretical short term local benefit

Alternatively: metacrisis is the crisis of perception and understanding that lies within the range of crises humanity faces
Its more complex than everything going wrong using black and white pessimistic lens, there are things so much better in many ways as well, such as reducing poverty, illneses, increasing scientific progress. Some positive effects can in the big picture turn negative though.

Ecological ==== We are hurting out environment that we need for survival.
- SENSE-MAKING CRISIS (WHAT IS THE CASE?):
“Confusion at the level of understanding the nature of the world. Everyday people and experts are struggling to say things that are true, unable to comprehend increasing complexity.”
Worst-case scenario: “complete epistemic unmooring and descent into the cultural vertigo of an inescapable simulation.”
Best-case scenario: “emergent forms of post-digital individual and collective sense-making spreading on a massive scale.”
- CAPABILITY CRISIS (HOW CAN IT BE DONE?):
“Incapacity at the level of operating on the world intelligently. In all social positions and domains of work, individuals are increasingly unable to engage in problem- solving to the degree needed for continued social integration.”
Worst-case scenario: “results in catastrophic infrastructure failure due to a brain-power shortage.”
Best-case scenario: “revivification of guilds and technical educational initiatives for a new economics of social system integration.”
- LEGITIMACY CRISIS (WHO SHOULD DO IT?):
“Incoherence at the level of cultural agreements. Political and bureaucratic forms of power are failing to provide sufficiently convincing rationale and justification for trust in their continued authority.”
Worst-case scenario: “complete citizen-level defection from all organised political bodies.”
Best-case scenario: “new forms of governance and collective choice-making that are built out from first principles, factoring in dynamics that are digital and planetary.”
- MEANING CRISIS (WHY DO IT?):
“Inauthenticity at the level of personal experience. Individuals from all walks of life are questioning the purpose of their existence, the goodness of the world, and the value of ethics, beauty, and truth.” "Crisis of 'we'"
Worst-case scenario: “peak alienation and a total mental health crisis.”
Best-case scenario: “democratisation of enlightenment, sanity and psychological sovereignty.”
=======Active Inference context=======
Humanity superorganism is a system made out of nested interacting systems (governing parts, social groups), active inference agent preserved by a nested hiearchy/hetearchy/anarchy of markov blankets corresponding to different concrete (governing institution) or abstract (subculture) substructures.
Sense-making ==== Confusion at the level of understanding the nature of the world. System making for survival and flourishing insufficient models of its internal (understanding how society operates) and external (understanding how nature operates) dynamics by falling into overfitting (too specialized) or underfitting (too general) or freeze responce (not doing anything) failure modes or not having enough computational power to train an accurate representation (unable to comprehend increasing complexity) or not directing modelling power to important areas (ignoring because of short term local interests or just being clueless)
Capability crisis ==== Incapacity at the level of operating on the world intelligently. Not enough coordinated action states to act inside various active inference subagents informed by efficient internal hidden (sense making) states (unable to engage in problem with specific efficient solutions) (solving to the degree needed for continued social integration), not taking in account long term consequences in time (not deep enough policies) or what destructive or maladaptive domino effects (interconnectedness of global crises and influences) (cascading causal influence in the network) it might cause inside or outside the system
Legitimacy crisis ==== Incoherence at the level of cultural agreements. Culture is defined by shared language, when there are asymmetric frameworks of beliefs that when interacting generate inneficient message passing with lots of friction (leading to loss of important information) and inability to reduce uncertainity between governing and laymen clusters of people, result is tension, absence of reinforced dependence and connection (resulting in agents being mutually unsatisfied resulting in mutual distrust)
Meaning crisis ==== Inauthenticity at the level of personal experience. Nonexistent implemented efficient collective scientific (natural sciences) (outside world) and psychological (spiritual) (inside world) uncertainity reduction protocol (metamodern culture of connection) leading to discoordinated local interaction of mutually incompatible disconnected agents with different fundamental priors (science vs spirituality instead of being together, corporations maximizing for limbic hijacking addictivity, corporations not aligned with governing intitutions not aligned with communities of people that are also not connected by something deeper, leading to too much of ingroup outgroup competition (above the healthy limit) instead of collective problem solving as humanity), absence of shared goal space and objective functions, inability to explore uncertain realms because of too much order leading to overfitting (too high mental specialization aka canalization leading to inability to see entropic beauty in everything, being stuck in one's perspective, leading to inability for empathy (psychopathic ethics), inability for theory of mind leading to inability for connection and collective uncertainity reducing goal states, leading to collective hopelessness (brains having action states crisis) and fear about future)

====More thoughts====
My biggest unknown is: What are the most effective interventions to our system that will a) increase the wellbeing of human population, b) increase collective efficient mitigation and resolving of symptoms and causes of risks and crises and c) making efficient material and psychological (that complement eachother) progress leading to flourishing. And how all those factors interconnect. How to make them respect, support and check eachother instead of fighting violently.
From the perspective of moral responsibility for all current and future generations and looking at current climate reports I would say we need to globally as humanity act more to minimize the acceleration and existing destructive effects of climate change as the current priority (you also have other crisises like mental health, loneliness, energy crisis, overall metacrisis with sensemaking, education etc., or potential risks including nuclear, pandemics, nanoweapons, bioweapons, artificial intelligence (full of lots of perspectives), volcanoes,...). The current coordination doesn't seem to be enough to address the increasing negative climate change statistics and the metacrisis when we look at the current statistics. What are the current core causes of the climate problems? Corporations with big power capital having the most systemic influence maximizing profits short term individually (as in, not caring about the whole humanity), caring just for themselves in polarized competetive dynamics. What are the solutions? What strategies do we have? Spread the message? Fixing symptoms such as carbon extraction from athmosphere, polution extraction, helping biosphere in other ways? Fixing its causes? Make cheaper and better green technologies in science and practice? We can transform the internal structure of the corporations. Use peaceful cooperative dialog in attempt to transform them? Science lecture inside them? Beat them economically by winning over them in competition? Create less psychopathic more compassionate and more globally morally caring corporations winning over them. Make green technologies more economically viable. Use language of money more? Use economical and political pressure on those psychopathic agents. Santions? Altruistic financing? Use civil unrest pressure. Or damage them? Use violence? Or erase them? I understand Eliezer bombing GPU clusters to minimize unaligned AGI risk. Systemic revolution of steering our humanity superorganism away from selftermination with those cancerous cells slowly killing its host From the perspective of moral responsibility for all of humanity, all of current and future generations and looking at current climate reports I would say we need to globally as humanity act more to minimize the acceleration and existing destructive effects of climate change as the current priority (you also have other crisises like mental health, loneliness, energy crisis, overall metacrisis with sensemaking, education etc., or potential risks including nuclear, pandemics, nanoweapons, bioweapons, artificial intelligence (full of lots of perspectives), volcanoes,...).

Systemic revolution of steering our humanity superorganism away from selftermination with those cancerous cells slowly killing its host into a system not based on such strong psychopathic competetion? Attempt to rebuild society on collective meaning? But would that be enough force to stop the current strongest cancerous power structures screwing it up for everyone? Strenghten regulations? Strenghten global top down governance such as United Nations? That will create civil unrest from the psychopathic people and corperations (which already happens a lot), but if language of cooperation and peaceful dialog isnt enough, what then is enough? Are AI technologies accelerating it even more? Certain degree of competetion and arms races is evolutionary good and has certain advantages, like technological innovation, but too much of it leads us to those multipolar traps. Is peace enough? Is violence needed? Could violence lead to accelerated selftermination and disconnection instead of cultivation of culture of connection and harmony and resolving conflicting parts not aligned with the collective wellbeing? We dont want opression like in Russia, or chaos like in Somalia, we want something third that benefits the longterm wellbeing of humanity! Strong education about all of this? Culture of compassion and connection? Liquid democracy? Communes? Degrowth? What are other possible strategies? What are the most optimal combinations of those strategies to create the chances of the most efficient collective long term wellbeing, survival and flourishing? All of attempts individually add up into one giant force of care for all current and future generations! I believe we will succeed when we join forces together effectively!

AR6 Synthesis Report: Climate Change 2023
Raw capitalism creates an evolutionary pressure/incentive/objective function of raw profits, incentives that go against what feels good to most people. Money on money dynamics even more. You can use top down restrictions to maximize chances of collective survival, increase collective long term wellbeing and meaning, but its not given that governing structure will be aligned with values of people, wellbeing etc., so it needs to be checked via for example multiple governing structures or ideally by democracy. To avoid lots of meaning and wellbeing and theory of governance issues when electing, we need education of people in those issues, not being stuck in one world view with focused attention, aligning values of the governing parts with the layman compatible with wellbeing/risks science. Power check and reduce psychopathic agents by culture of connection and compassion? Gene editing to enhance compassion? Can laymen people even be systematically thaught these complex topics, is that realistic? Or is the only solution some strong enough evolutionary pressure on the structue of the system from wellbeing, existencial risk, etc. scientists? Some kind or technocracy? That needs power and corruption checking too. How to approximately evaluate expertise to minimize psychopathic agents? Some academic system that isnt as broken as current academic system? And who checks that? Some metascientists/metagovernaning structures? Who checks that? Do we need antimoloch God under everything tonescape this loop? How to avoid psychopathic evolutionary pressures? Is centralized power fundamentally doomed? Degrowth? Decentralized independent donbar number communes only? Does that halt collective action against for example climate change? How to prevent tribal wars? Is that even possible with current total interdependence? Does current system halt efficient collective action as well? Somewhere yes in some problems (EU climate) somewhere not (USA) (collective sensemaking and wellbeing), but not globally, and we have the metacrisis. Can gametheoretically stable "ideal" system equivalent to benevolent illuminati Gods controling everything for long term survival and wellbeing of the people even exist? There is also issue of plurality of existing moral/ethical etc. systems. Respect or try to reform those dynamics or some middle way? There is also the issue of plurality of models of wellbeing and risks and that also come from plularity of values. Can we synthetize them? Create evolutionary selection dynamics between them measured by their success? Minimize friction between them in an ecosystem where they interact? How about plurality of methods quantifying and measuring success? All this prediction and measuring stuff also takes tons of computational power and complexity that might be incomprehensible, we must approximate and select various comprehensible factors like in climate science. What are the best approximator factors to look for in the system? We're back at the issue of plurality. If we go from theory back to practice and editing what we already have, how to create the most efficient set of evolutionary pressures to steer the current system's structure more towards wellbeing and risk mitigation? Strengthten effective altruism education and influence?
Excess of competition/rivarly and order is behind the metacrisis?
Different people speak with different fundamental languages determining their actions so if one wants to change their action one should synchronize with their objective functions. Politics is a lot about the language of power. Corporations speak the language of money. Language of values. Language of morality. Language of meaningful experiences and meaning in general. Supercooperators are the golden nugget against the metacrisis. What are the best evolutionary pressures for supercooperation clusters? Compassion, psychedelics, meditation, unity, opposite of polarization, nonduality? Could massemailing people that have the biggest causal influence in determining humanity's trajectory while synchronizing as most as possible with their language lead to efficient evolutionary pressure towards a good third attractor?

The current economic system was a solution to no wars happening after WW2, where growth was not mediated by war but by exponentially growing GDP of economies, which might be breaking now with exponential extraction of resources that replenish linearly and Russia is under such pressure which results in it attacking Ukraine. If we assume all nations want to fundamentally expontentially grow by GDP, technology, resources and other means, and if physically nonviolent ways of growing are not an option anymore, they use war to conquer and grow, is this Russia's current state? Would financially helping them instead of sanctions paradoxically help the war other than accelerate? Or would it accelerate as their tense hatred of EU/USA etc. and need for annihilation could be used realized more efficiently? Or are sanctions strong enough to kill all their power to conquer?

Human intelligence not being bound by wisdom, where wisdom is seeing and setting goals and acting from the point of wholeness (planetary collective moral awareness) instead of from the point of parts, is the core driver of metacrisis we are facing. AI in the context of Moloch. AI in the hands of profit maxxing corporations with monopolies of economical and overall power over population with goals that are narrow, local and short term is a good idea. Narrow AI is accelerant of biowep/cyberwep and other existencial risks. General AI that's unaligned and with enough by wisdom's wholeness awareness unbounded agency not caring about everyone long term can do do lots of harm to our systems or us. Solution by stronger education and building good actors? Hopefully actors acting from wholeness will be strong enough!

Ideal capitalism (which doesnt exist) maximizes by default short term profit of comodities (tree is valued by how much you get from extracting it) which goes against longtermist goals so regulations (like carbon tax or AI regulation) try to fix those loop holes to direct it correctly, but this is trying to fix the symptoms of the inherent economic system, and we could maybe instead try to redesign the economic system from first principles that things are valued holistically (tree is part of ecosystem that when cut down casacades to climate change related food scarsities), could system ran on AI do this?

Is money inherently broken system as liquid tokem with reduction of complexity and implicit asymmetries not accounting for externalities? Activism and lobbying into good actors in this hiearhical process to make destructive actions or actions with externalities less profitable and morally right to make economic incentive for the right kinds of actions in terms of minimizing Molochian dynamics. Closing the unsustainable loops inside economy that lead to pollution. Trees maintain the ecosystem's soil, many things live there, it interacts with water sources etc. and we dont even fully know how it works and by lumber extraction we get marginal local game theoretic advantage but potentially millions of dollars in terms of damage in the long term in terms of floods and extreme weather events or droughts or general ecosystem loss that we dont tend to factor, we affect suff that is in the unknown set that we cant fully measure because of its big interconnectivity and complexity and predictively chaotic behavior. Overall biological systems do holistic interconnected computations across scales that evolutionarily evovled by tons of natural selection and thats why they're so good at computing and plastic and unpredictable while our artificial machines predictively exploit just mostly one scale and one type of computation.

solution: changing the generation function by fusing with cultural eastern enlightenment by maximizing compassion which minimizes agents gain short term local profit instead of long term global profit (in terms of survival, flourishing, wellbeing)?
direct problem as a consequence:
existing agents benefiting themselves short term instead of long term for everyone driving climate change and exponential social media addictive tech destroying mental health meaning and so on
The answer to all of the problems is all of the solutions, I believe many solutions should to be more deployed synergetically more than the current attempts to make collective survival and flourishing more probable. I'm deeply optimistic the collective efforts across solutions will be enough, which is both optimistic prediction and fueling motivation for changing stuff for the better, as the opposite counterfactual implies hopelessness and doom and decreases chances of things actually getting better if people have that belief. Collective beliefs are both predicting and forming the future.
Good future will happen! Darwinian bonds will be transcended. Consciousness will flourish. QRI is the key player for reverseengineering consciousness. There will be infinite bliss gradients in game theoretically stable system undestroyable by petrubations. Let's make this happen collectively. Reverseengineering consciousness and universe. Beating Replicators. Beating Moloch. Optimism is not only justified, it's a fight for a higher future.

Evolution pretrained us to automatically depend on others in family, community, culture, nation state etc. That's broken by genes correlating with psychopathy combined with environmental influences such as for example pollution, inflamation, or depending uncertainity minimizing mutual agent to agent bond being unsuccesful and thus breaking, leading to feeling hurt and cascading trust issues leading to asymmetries and rivalious dynamics and isolation and alienation and individualization of the agent or clusters of agents in their social graph in relation to mimimizing uncertainity about basic needs, leading to loneliness and dissolution of motivation for collective synchronized sensemaking and shared goals to survive and flourish collectively, which can is fixable by strong enough evidence that bonding is worth it to satisfy basic needs and goals collectively by compatible language or action. Leaders do collective uncertainity reduction this at scale.
How to fix any problem:
Locate and name maladative symtoms (surface processes) and the core generating functions (cause) those symtoms.
Find and apply methods of fixing both symtoms and the core generator functions such that collapse of the system's stability doesn't happen by mathematical theory's derivation from the system's laws (regularities in time) or by experimenting.
Spread solutions throught the system by efficient massage passing and incetivize parts to cooperate on solving this problem.
In the spacial case of the meaning crisis - Find what you're best at: theoretical research, practical research in different scientific fields, engineering, accounting, working with people, spreading solutions - and do that, ideally do what isnt done enough yet, where work towards survival and flourishing is missing.
Succesful leaders install local and global objective functions into agents, giving oportunities for pleasant error reduction gradients, creating goal alignment, resolving power or belief asymmetries that lead to conflicts via finding common ground, make efficient selforganization
We need more efficient leaders reducing population's uncertainity by speech with realistic models and incentivizing people to actions that increase collective chances of survival and future flourishing, giving people sense of meaning and sense of connectedness with the collective
Many leaders with slightly different fundamental assumptions emerge, but with the same intention of unifying people to survive and flourish. Could metaleaders aligning existing leader's languages help?
Could the underlying crisis of metacrisis be interpreted as valence crisis as a sign of dying humanity superorganism? Possibly too pesimistic interpretation. More like tons of before differianted human superorganisms attempting to merge together as their markov blanket boundaries dissolve together thanks to the internet, will we do it succesfully? Are we witnessing the statistical merging of Europe, then merging of Europe with America and rest of the world, is China succesfully stable markov blanket on its own?
We need optimal amount of both cooperative generalists and competing specialists in society
Why do people seem to feel so unhappy? Let's look at the biggest predictor of happiness - strong human relationships. The secret to happiness? Here’s some advice from the longest-running study on happiness - Harvard Health In what context do people live happy lives? When they're helping their tribe, or ingroup in general, unless you're a psychopath, and according to some researchers, psychopathy is on the rise. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/surviving-the-female-psychopath/202206/does-psychopathy-begin-us Where's the problem? I doubt genetic profile has changed, let's look into environmental factors. A lot of people report not being satisfied with their job, not seeing meaning in it, such as for example soul numbing corporate jobs, living from paycheck to paycheck. We need to feel connected to the collective and feel like we're doing good for it. This is the loneliness/interconnectedness crisis. We must cultivate a culture of connection to fix this. There are so many asymmetries in cultural dynamics killing this. Instead of making money for overly rich boss that's not altruistic, we wanna feel like adding value to our ingroup directly. This makes sense evolutionary, as this is the conditions we mostly evolved in.
If i feel like burning out, i do literally nothing (exact superresting meditation technique) and remind myself why I'm doing this for further motivation for a day
Conflicts are the result of (overly) confident mutually asymmetric beliefs creating friction by selfevidencing attempts interaction increasing tension leading to blow up
christianity is so evolutionarily fit in the evoltuionary dnyamics of cultural frameworks because it implements high valence structures (God as reality loves you) and spreads by converting or annihilating those who dont believe (treat others as you wanna be treated: if you didnt believe in god, you would want others to convert or annihilate you in this framework) Thinking through other minds: A variational approach to cognition and culture - PubMed
Radical going to the deepest source of any problem possible combined with radical empathy seems to be the best kind of problem solving method. Sometimes you can only heal symptoms, sometimes its too late, sometimes you can change whole future iterations of the system by changing its deepest pattern generator functions.
I think many of the individual solutions to the metacrisis can be modelled as fundamental and everything downstream from that, many thinkers ended up with that in their model, but I think they're all partial. I tend to be often on the side that education is one of the strongest factors that should be enhanced and many things downstream from it. There are many methods to achieve that for example, I'm slowly mapping them out. You can try to get people with lots of power on your side (those that have causal power over how education is realized) for example and try to speak as much as possible their language and incetivize positive change via dialog, money, contribution etc. Or for example if you have wealthy people or government destroying rainforests, here you can talk their language by appealing to the fact that it kills climate and ecosystems leading to crop failures leading to food scarity leading to internal instability of angry people thats hard to govern and costs lots of money. I would say its about finding where you have the highest chances, as an individual, or as a collective. Many movements are attempting to do the many reforms already, so supporting those, finding what actors are more likely to get on your side, etc. Science communication about these problems. Some friction will almost always happen. I would say it's about minimizing it. Sometimes only confrontation prevents long term harm. Sometimes too much confrontation can be counterproductive instead. Being too radical might end up damaging somewhere, but might be good somewhere. Depends a lot on the current problem space I would argue. Some issues with deep roots will probably need much more radical changes, I agree. Redesigning how current money mechanism and its physics works by changing it into something different that doesnt generate as much perverse incentives by for example less reductivity - that would require lots of big changes. I would argue it all lives on a spectrum. From changing slightly what is to extreme changes. I would say its about finding what is the best middle way. I believe current dynamics will be changed by all the various movements attempting to change for the better on this spectrum. As an individual I attempt to be as effective agent as possible by so far mostly learning about all these things and communicating them and I want to do more educating. I am/plan to join more forces with various other people attempting to help all of this. I wish one person could help all of it at the same time, but that's impossible. Strenghtening collective effort in all the various problem landscapes is big part of it. Hopefully the collective acceleration will in good direction and strong enough. I can do only so much as one agent that is attempting to help this. Attempt at (automated?) mass education is one way.

Metacognition of society
Attentional mechanism of society
Sensory modalities of society
consciousness vs replicators
cancerous psychopathic processses vs everything else
local rivalious dynamics vs global cooperation
i see this pattern in all those inquiries
in some sense one can frame cooperation as a form of competition anyway 🤔
but thats because darwinian meme is so tautological
i wonder if the ideal middle way can be quantized
aka simulating an ecosystem of agents and playing with the competition/cooperation parameter and seeing parameters create the best level of fitness - YouTube here they show that collective cooperation is more fit in their simulations in collective uncertainity reduction (sensemaking)
i would say it depends a lot on the current circimstances of the internal and external states
possibly dynamically changing depending on what are current threats to stability or survival for example
though i would assert current social system suffers from too much local competition and too little global cooperation leading to metacrisis connection crisis
agreeableness crisis?
too much overfitted local order trapped in focused attention -> plasticity crisis? OSF

Principled Societies Project Principled Societies Project Home
“A society can be viewed as a superorganism that expresses an intrinsic purpose of achieving and maintaining vitality. The systems of a society can be viewed as a societal cognitive architecture. The goal of the R&D program is to develop new, integrated systems that better facilitate societal cognition (i.e., learning, decision making, and adaptation). Our major unsolved problems, like climate change and biodiversity loss, can be viewed as symptoms of dysfunctional or maladaptive societal cognition. To better solve these problems, and to flourish far into the future, we can implement systems that are designed from the ground up to facilitate healthy societal cognition. The proposed R&D project represents a partnership between the global science community, interested local communities, and other interested parties. In concept, new systems are field tested and implemented in local communities via a special kind of civic club. Participation in a club is voluntary, and only a small number of individuals (roughly, 1,000) is needed to start a club. No legislative approval is required in most democratic nations. Clubs are designed to grow in size and replicate to new locations exponentially fast”

“We explore the effects of providing baseline AIF agents (Model 1) with specific cognitive capabilities: Theory of Mind (Model 2), Goal Alignment (Model 3), and Theory of Mind with Goal Alignment (Model 4). Illustrative results show that stepwise cognitive transitions increase system performance by providing complementary mechanisms for alignment between agents’ local and global optima. Alignment emerges endogenously from the dynamics of interacting AIF agents themselves, rather than being imposed exogenously by incentives to agents’ behaviors (contra existing computational models of collective intelligence) or top-down priors for collective behavior (contra existing multiscale simulations of AIF). These results shed light on the types of generic information-theoretic patterns conducive to collective intelligence in human and other complex adaptive systems.”

===Meaning and Metacrisis===
Valence (internal and external attraction) crisis seems to in general be solved by some interconnecting memeplex on both individual and local level or all the other factors in equation of happiness. "Everything is made, comes from God, awareness." Any common beliefs, goals, values, ideology, philosophy, language, meaning,... it's about destressing the individualist local structures and stressing collective global structures until they're stressless dissolved unified baseline. Everything else in the happiness equation holds as well.

Evolutionary game theory - Wikipedia
Evolutionary Game Theory (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Moloch dynamics. https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/ I think this kind of mathematical dynamics can be applied scalefree in society and the mind. Psychopathologies can be seen as maladaptive nash equilibrium configurations of subagents. For example small perturbations can easily create tons of error signals in the system, putting it under stress which can unify it or destabilize it. Or trade off between freedom and governance, competition and cooperation. I care about both scales about everyone.
The problem with economy creating incentives that dont benefit wellbeing or longterm flourishing and multipolar traps is that you get competetive evolutionary arms races, exponentially growing compoundong interest in linear resource economy, physics of money making on money on money up to infinitum. This is unrealiable in long term. Exponentially growing economy was the solution to wars over resources moving from physical to economic scale. To sidestep resource scarity, silicon valley attempts to solve it by creating monetary value on software, but even that is limited as hardware and human attention is limited and wont grow infinitely. Attempting to redirect this towards an better nash equilibrium with more adaptibility to existencial risks and wellbeing of people without discoordinated competetive anarchy (too much freedom) or totalitiriam regime (too much control), but a third attractor, is hard.
Another big factor is to create intersystemic trust via steelmanning of values and satisfying as much parties as possible to diffuse tension and minimize friction to increase cooperation between clusters of agents and maximize alignment on the most fundamental level possible. (AIs joining the mix - use LLMs to understand LLMs is the most plausible method currently?)
More bio/cyber/etc. weapons (synthbio, AI,...) that might be as destructive as atomic bombs that might be even easier to make or control or monitor by open science and so on might be a bit of an issue.
Because world today is so interconnected and interdependant than before, destabilizing in one part of the world can effect the whole world for example economically. Climate change also effects everyone. Many of the risks are interconnected and there might be domino effects. Slightly more extreme weather killing crops creating mass economic migration putting stable countries under economic and cultural adaptibility load.
There will be always something underterminite when modelling and predicting a system, let it be quantum uncertainity, chaotic dynamics, the fact that we always approximate, or the fact that in order to model some systems we would need to simulate its evolution fully
We could maybe test what is needed for consciousness by slowly cutting off or replacing parts of the body and its systems to find out where the boundary is between conscious system and nonconscious system. Problem is pzombies or panpsychist assumptions assume that even an electron is conscious lol, so probably just the subject might know.
If the imposed dynamics imply better overall wellbeing of people and better global adaptibility to existencial risks, thats more positive sum for all to me. There are societies today or societies in the past that were more adapted or more well than others. It is determined by both internal and external factors.
Regulating climate change or AI has to be global because there are arms races and opponents that externalize costs to get local short term advantage at the cost of global long term get evolutionary advantage.
Meme complexes or organisms in general that evolutionary game theoretically win are those who dominate, convert, risk assert themselves as the only true one, such as Christian crusades, Alexander the great (or democracy is internally asserted as only good one) or China, where nonviolent Tibet is a failing strategy when it comes to survival.
Separation of power (market, church, state (legislature, executive, judiciary)) as an implementation of checks and balances as an immunity to prevent dystopian power monopoly and asymmetric dynamics. Hard to implement it long term in changing landscape of internal and external coniditons that needs to be adapted to and people forget why revolutions happened to destroy past power monopolies so they stop inhabiting asymmetric potentials through checks and balances of power structures and they start fusing into power monopolies plus sociopaths having evolutionary advantage.
Civilization can be analyzed in three ways that interconnectedly interact and influence eachother by interforming: what is its a memeplex (world views, value systems, what ought to be) (computational), social coordination strategies (behavior, financial incentives) (algorithmic) and physical tooling set upon it depends (tech) (implementational). What changes in all three od them simultaneously, factoring all the feedback loops, produce a virtuos cycle that orients in a direction that isnt dystopias (Chinalike top down agent imposing (opressive) goals and values on people instead of them being emergent from the values of people getting into the government using democracy) or catastrophies (zero governance, zero power checking, asymmetrical competetion of everyone, anarchocapitalism, bezos empire versus zuckerberg empire, zero top down agent) ? Cumulative exponential tech level is currently the most dominant and binding all other levels instead of the other way around. We need values of the people to bind tech instead. Those values can be elected into governance via will of the people via democracy with checking and balances of power from the people and by separation of power, preventing opression, tyranny and dystopias, creating aligned emergent instead of imposed values, by educating people both scientifically and morally and theory of governance, such that collective will of the people isnt dumb and misguided to govern exponential tech and selfterminate creating catastrophies but instead bind it for long term adaptive wellbeing by thinking about its nth order effects without big narrow techno pessimist or techno optimist bias universally globally to prevent arms races to not selfterminate the whole world by multipolar traps. Unity via less narrower more connected through more fundamental similarities value systems preventing stuff like left right polarization. For example people of US have small power on power checking the economical power.

Identity shift to groundless ground is very useful as it minimizes fear or not feeling home when dissolving the generative model's evolutionary useful structures to feel more free. The less you fundamentally identify with some concrete cluster of sensations, the less things will bother you. Mental frameworks are configurations of the qualia that make the new insights stick. Groundless ground makes all nondual dissolving realizations stick permanently, makin them not just an experience that instantly fades away. The more one pushes himself in this framework, the more it stick. Constantly integrating emptiness into form. Mundane things become divine. Being "out of simulation" becomes the same as being "trapped inside simulation". Nirvana becomes samsara. Duality becomes nonduality. Distinction becomes unity. Somewhat something moving on a fading road. Experience without projector. The screen of consciousness isn't fundamental too. No ground. Freedom. Pure love.

Context, who is this book for?
-
My motivation behind everything is to help people have more fullfilling life, have better sense of wellbeing, using what we know from theory and empirical studies of practices in science. This book is from the depth of my caring heart for:
-
'''People looking to enhance their wellbeing or the wellbeing of others''' and live life to the fullest as we all want such as psychotherapists, meditators, or psychonauts: I try to create an equation for individual and collective happiness, I look into what genetic and environmental (nature and nurture) factors determine wellbeing, what can we do to engineer it, how wellbeing looks like in the brain using many lenses, from adaptively predictively resolving uncertainity about basic needs to having sense of direction and (ideally collective) meaning and motivation in life to frictionless cooperating consonant symmetrical brain regions and subagents as a single unit like a family to engineering it using tools from psychotheraphy, spirituality, philosophy, meditation, substances, biotechnology, ways of seeing the world give the most wellbeing, from falling in love with the mystery of reality and everyone and everything to groundless ground full of peace and freedom, by symmetrifications using annealing!
-
'''Science nerds, interdisciplionary/transdisciplinary scientists''', people looking for a general technical language that can conceptualize by steelmanning any predictive models in natural sciences or everyday life in general and synthetize them into an even better predictive model: I lay out a language to evaluate how good any predictive model in natural sciences across scales and levels of analysis is, using the free energy principle and complex adaptive dynamical systems theory in general!
-
'''Neuroscientists, neurophenomenologists, psychologists, psychotherapists''': I unify various used approaches of analyzing the brain, experience, environment and actions together into a single framework, how to get people from maladaptive configurations that doesnt support happiness, how trauma healing by healing parts of the mind by showing them love using internal family systems or coherence theraphy might work in the software and hardware, from bayesian belief networks to connectome harmonics!
-
'''People looking for hope with dealing with poor mental heath, people lost on their spiritual path in the dark night of the soul''': I look into how psychodiscomfort may work in the brain and into various approaches of healing it, from maladaptively interconnected brain regions to maladaptive beliefs, from dissonance, oscillopathy, or asymmetries to feeling hopeless from failing to reduce uncertainity about basic needs to feeling anxious from overly interconnected emotional brain to disconnected noncooperating parts of the mind!
-
'''People looking for hope for the future of the humanity when it comes to its survival and wellbeing''': I look into how to solve the meaning (wellbeing) and meta crisis disguised as valence (unity) crisis on local and collective scales by cooperately reducing the probabilities of the various existencial risks such as mental health crisis, nuclear war, climate change, economic collapse or misaligned artificial general superintelligence. I focus on how to possibly cultivate trust and frictionless symmetrical cooperative communication between different subagents with different mental frameworks, such as people, machines, communities, cities, governing parts in nations, nations, by for example the language of shared meaning, values and goals, as natural sciences tell us that we're all part of one interconnected system where parts depend on eachother and we should take in account the whole when solving a problem, and using insights from wellbeing science from for example complex systemic mechanisms of internal family systems psychotheraphy, how to unify the human population in general to feel more connected and be adaptive together, how to increase wellbeing in the society on the collective scale using symmetrification though annealing, having an ecosystem of interacting cooperative aethetics that are part of high degree of collective harmonious wellbeing! I look into how to beat Moloch.
-
'''Physicists''': I think about the quest for a unified theory of everything in physics and beyond in natural sciences: What are the advantages and disadvantages of different predictive mathematical models, how to reason about it on a metalevel to find a model with the most advantages
-
'''Philosophers''': I ponder on questions like what is truth using the general technical language of bayesian mental constructions in a certain lens, I think about formal systems to describe any system
-
I think about wellbeing locally on the individual level, I'm looking for and developing theory and practical applications explaining why and how for example substance assisted psychotheraphies, selfimprovement movements, meditation, or neurorotechnology works.
-
I think about wellbeing globally on the collective, what science of wellbeing tells us, why and how societies that report better quality of life report it, what all factors in the social system come into play, and how could society be practically pushed towards that better more adaptive state.
-
I conceptualize everything in natural sciences and experience through the mathematics of adaptive complex systems. I am interested in those mathematics to engineer wellbeing on all scales and find correspondences between different scientific disciplines and different approaches inside concrete scientific disciplines.
-
I think that everything in psychotheraphy, psychology, sociology, selfimprovement, spirituality, biology, physics, neuroscience, cognitive science, and so on, can be understood and interconnected through this general mathematical language of adaptive complex systems.
-
I think this general language can sketch out new potential wellbeing engineering interventions on both local and global scale, and then can be translated into the less mathematical language or less general language of laymen cultural frameworks, psychology, sociology, spirituality, biology, cognitive science, and so on.
-
I first do a giant general synethesis and then dig deeper into concrete details.
This is what I'm developing in this book.

Abstract
'''For science nerds and hyperphilosophical beings:'''
- I map out possible philosophical assumption, models of physics, I use scalefree information theory a lot, I map out science of consciousness, wellbeing, sociology, approaches to predicting the future and to existencial risks. I formulate a theory of every "thing" using quantum nonequilibrium thermodynamics framed in quantum information theory using quantum formulation of the free energy principle with quantum darwinism. I note important concepts such as symmetries and annealing as tools to analyze and engineer how healthy an ecosystem such as mind or society is in a mapped out landscape of complex system research with focus on in consciousness and societal research with focus on local and global wellbeing and adaptibility to the landscape of existencial risks and beating moloch
'''For meditators and psychonauts:'''
- I explain how one can put into language everything in experience, how to effectively engineer wellbeing, how to heal, how to achieve new levels of freedom or depth in experience, through deconstructive and reconstructive meditation, psychedelics or philosophy.
'''For everyone:'''

Less abstract abstract
I start with context: Hell must be destroyed! 💖😸 My motivation behind everything is to help people have more fullfilling life, have better sense of wellbeing, using what we know from theory and empirical studies of practices in science.
The whole text is an attempt to find, explain, synthesize all tools used for wellbeing engineering on individual and social scale to help everyone the most effectively, mapping out the landscape in science and psychotools
First I do a synthesis of individually used wellbeing psychotools in less technical language without explaining mechanisms (because I havent introduced science yet). Deconstruction of mind, inducing happiness, construction, shifting to more relaxed, deeper, healed, loving, light, spontanious, fullfilling, free baseline (symmetrification accelerationism!), by meditation and psychedelics, with lots of inspiration from Michael Taft and Shinzen Young, or potentially neurotechnology in the future.
Then I do synthesis of science, connecting the landscape of neurophenomenological approaches together (implementational modelling of populations of neurons, resonance chamber, electromagnetism physics, connectivity of large networks), algorithmic (machine learning architectures), computational (markov blankets, , reinforcement learning agents, evolution of latent bioelectrical morphologocal spaces), phenomenological (pragmatic dharma, solitons in a field, flow of energy, beliefs, words, images, feelings in spacetime etc.), connecting social science approaches together, in the context of universal darwinian bayesianism based on the free energy principle with potentially quantumness taken into account, and present the general symmetry analysis and annealing principles as tools that can be used in analysis of any complex system, and how symmetries tend to correspond more wellbeing of the system, making it more flexibly adaptive, but too much symmetries can also be a failure mode because of not being able to resist entropy. Annealing is presented as a tool to symmetrify the system's dynamics through disintegration of local nonlinearities and creation of more global synchrony.
Then in the framework of connecting (not only) qualia research institute ideas with bayesian brain ideas I give some technical notes to the synthesis of individual psychotools I mapped out before, mapping out the empirically tested or hypothesized mechanisms of action.
I think about some fundamental philosophical questions of ontology and truth and how it can be seen through a very mental model (bayesian belief) relativist lens, inspired by metarationality and metamodernism - caring about predictive power of models, them not being fully objective but just approximations, and how much valence they give (unifying memeplexes increase wellbeing by application of symmetry theory of valence to bayesian belief networks)
Then after all this synethesis, I create a landscape of explained concepts concretely in this synthetized framework linking to more research in the landscape of research out there in more detail, creating a tree to navigate, instead all of it being meshed in one text, writing an explanation for both laymen and technical people
Main concepts explained so far would be: psychology (self, meaning, happiness, trauma, values, agency, emotions, neurodiscomfort, neurodivergences), substances (psychedelics, dissociatives, antidepressants), psychotheraphy (cognitive behavioral theraphy, internal family systems, mindfullness, acceptance theraphy, psychedelics assisted psychotheraphy, Gestalt), meditation (deconstruction, construction, do nothing, love and kindness, jhanas, cessations, deities, DMT entities, gods, insight, dark night of the soul), sociology (wellbeing and meaning in society, coordinating risks, adaptibility), neurotechnology (relaxing focusing neurohelmets, deep brain stimulation)
Also not forgetting to explain 💖Love😸!
Then some other concepts: nostalgia, intelligence, stimulants, weed, alcohol, sex, music, chakras without metaphysical assumptions, lucid dreaming, other neurotechnology And some of my other thoughts on AGI alignment, unifying physics, and some other ideas or philosophical stuff that's in my mind
I end it with personal message about my journey, how I got here, what kind of my past motivates me to do this stuff.
Nice aethetics for everyone! Loving caring vast spacious silent infinite free full of life joyous cute colorful spontaneous divine compassionate flowy aethetics for everyone! I map out the aethetics I've acquired over the years. 💖😸 I'll maybe also add a story about crazy scientist travelling the statespace of existence (multiverse?) giving all beings in all multiverses infinite gradients of wellbeing. 💖😸

In simple terms: How does experience work? How can we heal discomfort, learn effectively, have fun, or be happy?
===Mechanisms of experience===
The image above includes it all. Let’s start from the beginning.
What is the only thing we can be certain about? What seems like the only fundamental truth? There is currently some kind of experience happening. Let’s look into it. This is a model I like the most: There is a 3D world that changes as time passes. It has an outside and inside world. We can see that by vision. There are also sounds coming from inside and outside. Then in experience we can have sense of our body when we scan it, getting messages from the body, and also touch, taste and smell. We have thoughts made of language, visual thoughts and feelings. We can experience raw senses or our concept, our image of them. We have a sense of us in the center, and sense of others and the world. All of that is inside (and made of) awareness. We can pay attention to one or more things, observe, and manipulate them.
That is exactly the yellow lines on the picture. What does the picture represent? To put it simply, orange blobs are neurons, that find patterns, compress incoming data, and learn to respond to their environment. Brown lines are connections between the neurons. What are the yellow lines? Thats exactly what I started with – Our unified conscious experience, it's like an operating system that is running at all times and gets turned off in deep sleep. Our internal world simulation that we construct to make sense of the internal and external world. When the operating system is on, from the sides come requested memories, signals what to pay attention to, what is valued, and also raw sensations. What comes out is actions to think a memory, redirect the mind or move the body in the external world. Those are the blue waves.
What happens when the blue brain waves, aka sensations, interact with our experience? Our experience finds out if its supposted to be there – how surprising it is. If its not surprising, we go on about our day. If we suddenly see a giant rainbow fluffy unicorn hugging us, that might be slightly surprising! The surprise can feel bad or also good. As a consequence, we shift our expectations that encountering such unicorn isn’t as unlikely!
===Happiness===
How does happiness work? When does experience feel pleasant? When it does not feel blocked. When we’re in a smooth flow state of life. When we can live life to the fullest! When our basic needs are satisfied. When we selfactualize. When we can do things that make us happy. When we don’t feel stuck, when we feel free, when we can grow. When we can just stresslessly be and relax. When things are going as we assume. When we love what is. When we can easily adapt. When our values are satisfied. When there isn’t sense of something being wrong. When our internal parts are communicating with other parts and are not isolated. When there are no hurts parts from trauma, panicking anxious parts from uncertainity, or depresed parts giving up from thinking that they are unsuccesful. When everything feels in harmony, generating sense of meaning and being satisfied with current experience. Take care of happiness and meaning will take care of itself. Love is the existencial stance with reality, way of commiting yourself to a partiular connection in the outer or inner world. Meaning is the sense of interconnectedness with us, others and the world and overall everything.
===Meditation===
When we meditate, we can observe and have insight about the the details of our experience. We can notice everything that I’ve written so far. We can learn to be more mindful of experience. We can focus on breath and relax the thinking mind this way. We can just observe thoughts come and go without being them or interfering with them. We can see the mental constructedness of the self, of our personality and identity, of our likes and dislikes. We can calm down panicking parts by acceptance. We can heal spiky hurt parts with love. We can transform or deepen or interconnect our beliefs and knowledge by pondering or letting the automatic subconscious mind do it for us. We can reduce our uncertainity about us and the world. We can energize an imagined mental construct by meditating on it, such as healing light or buddha of compassion. We can cultivate interconnectedness and selflove, love for others or everything there is by sending love and kindness. We can align how we interpret, and what we do now and in everyday life, with our goals and higher meaning. We can cultivate sense of transcendental meaning. We can dissolve the fear of death by realistically imagining that you're dying.
===Deconstruction and reconstruction===
We can energize the background of the whole awareness with chanting or doing nothing. We can quiet the conceptual thinking mind and dissolve and unify all the distinct senses into pure nothingness, into pure expanded awareness, into pure void and love, when we let go and see the mental constructedness of concepts, thoughts, sensations, and everything, when we dissolve sense of time, space, center, boundary, directions, and attention trying to grab sensations by letting go of the sense of doer and experiencer, even sense of there being an awareness, or sense of any being at all, sense of existing and there being some existence, letting everything unfold without blockages, friction, inteference, by surrendering, by noticing the whole senses at once, by noticing everything's thinness, lightness, expansiveness beyond the constructed boundary, by noticing the vast still quiet spacious light effortless boundaryless centerless nonjugmental indestructible loving caring qualities of infinite awareness that is like space. This is all extremely pleasant and free, as it’s just raw uninterrupted flow not judged by any stressed conceptual contractions. Even perception, consciousness itself can turn off. 5-MeO-DMT also dissolves and unifies all senses into flow of oneness. The depthness of the deepest defabricated experiences "one" can experience transcends everything that he has ever been doing until then in terms of meaning as it feels full of total complete global infinite eternal meaning full of mystery, awe, connection, comfort, home, love. This sense of unity, sense of deep refreshing, can be achieved via other activities too, such as dancing, singing, playing an instrument, excercising, doing sport, nondual philosophy, message, sauna, sex, praying – many possibilities! The advatages of meditation is that it can cultivate sense of unconditional freedom, unity, love, stressfreeness and happiness that is stable in any conditions. After dissolving our whole internal world simulation, when the operating system is staring again, we can play with our deepest assumptions about what is! For example transforming “The world is terrible place, I fear and hate everything!” to strenghtened stable “Everything is beautiful, astonishing, miracle, gift! I love everything!”, or “I know everything!” to “Fundamental reality is unknowable!” We can fall in love with the belief that absolute reality is unknowable, as everything that we experience is our attempt at approximating reality. Like, is there even any reality? Is that just another arbitrary asumption? Is the sense of assumptions even connected to anything fundamental????? What the f*ck Is this? I am ALIVE? Are you even ALIVE? We go on in our """ordinary""" days in this absolute MYSTERY? WHY IS THERE ANYTHING AT ALL? WTFFFF? LIKE WOOW! AND I LOVE THAT WOOOOW! I LOVE ALL WOOOOW THAT WILL COME! IS TIME EVEN REAL? NOTHING AND EVERYTHING IS REAL! WHY IS THERE CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE????? WHAT WHY WHO WHEN WHERE WTF???? WE KNOW NOTHING AND EVERYTHING???? OMMGGGGGG WOOOOOOAAAAAAAWWe're in this loving mystery together in one interconnected system called nature! I'm in love with light depth of everything that is! Another way of pleasant reconstruction is imagining how the people you care about are doing well, or even the people you struggle with, or every single human, or every single being, expanding your ingroup area of empathy, connecting yourself with all people. Or imagining, interacting with, or becoming the deity of compassion that helps to relieve the suffering of all beings. Dark nights of the soul seem the be the result of disintegration of the psyche before it gets unified with more transcendental nonconceptuality, oneness, love and so on. When the self center hub dissolves, but there is no ocean efficient at stress dissipation of sensations to be effortlessly floating in. So you end up with dense ground with some processes instead. With much less flow of neural activity, its like you literally died, being a rigid disconnected void. Being a rigid metal ground with nothing really happening, or some things happening in their own place, but lonely, depressive or anxious, full of error signals. When the density gets dissolved into fluidity and things just weee by themself and effortless joyous activity happens lightly in this depth, you enter the state of free flowing ocean without effort. Neural annealing activities, interconnecting constructive meditation of love, oneness, beauty, wholeness, mandala, kindness to the rescue! Learning to love and accept all that is will result in lightening, fluidifying, floatifying, easifying, undensefying, unrigidityfying, smoothening, interconnecting everything without judgement. Love is a trainable skill! Muscle of the brain. Tune into, live from the most fundamental bayesian prior, notice the stillness of the "there is existence" prior and nothing can destroy in nonextreme states of consciousness, everything else you don't need you can let go off and be in peace. Nothing needs to be guarded. We won't physically die when we let go off of everything. All thoughts, all emotions, all personality, sense of doing anything, is just dissolved into soft gentle golden light present everywhere but at the same time a single point of it is glowing incredibly brightly in the center of your being, single point of light glowing in the vast space of awareness, this light is pristine, perfect, beautiful, kind, loving, caring, wise, clear, filled with life energy, playfullness, spontaneity. Be with that light now, be that light. Even that light itself is in some ways empty, but there, just like thoughts and feeling are empty, but there, personality, body is empty, but there, time and space, the world around you, people are empty but there. Real sense of connectedness with everything, no boundary between us and anything else. Unity.
===Substances===
Other substances are magical too! MDMA adds bonus love. Psychedelics can too, they overall tend to weaken, transform or strenghten assumptions and add more fuel to play with everything and scatter attention. Stimulants enhance and fuel narrow attention on a mental object with added clarity. Dissociatives turn off mechanisms and parts of experience.
===What is experience?===
Experience is like an orchestra, a lot of instruments plying being aligned by a director. An ecosystem of internal animals that learn, interact with eachother by communicating, giving eachother hugs, or battle and eat eachother, or form interacting coordinated communities with leaders and leaders of leaders. All sensations are toys and baby angel's love arrows and pink fluffy unicorns playing in the playground of awareness! Internal ecosystem of cute pets that you can play with and give love to! Hurricanes interfering with eachother. Black holes sucking planets. Galaxies merging. Screen with movie. Reflections in a mirror. Indestructible still mountain. Smooth waves in a vast still silent boundaryless deep ocean. Infinite sky with clouds just being there. Groundless ground. Organisms, structures resisting disorder. Interacting particles in a field.

In complex terms: General scientific framework: Towards unified model of everything and neurophenomenology: Universal pleasant flow by symmetrification through annealing in universal darwinian bayesianism in the landscape of complex systems research
===Universal scalefree darwinian bayesianism===
[[File:Annealing.png|500px|Alt text]] [[File:TOE.jpg|1000px|Alt text]] [- YouTube Bobby Azarian, Universal Bayesianism: A New Kind of Theory of Everything][- YouTube The free energy principle made simpler but not too simple][- YouTube Foundations of Archdisciplinarity: Advancing Beyond the Meta]
Universal darwinistic bayesianism based on the free energy principle is a general language for natural sciences on all scales. Let it be physics, chemistry, (neuro)biology, psychology, phenomenology, sociology, ecosystems, it all can be described as evolving flow with random fluctuations using stochastic differential equations. You can think of fluid flow, ocean, weather, evolutionary dynamics of cultures, or neural cellular automata with random perturbations. Any things in this flow are stable patterns in time, have statistical boundary are their internal states are correlated with their environment's external states, which means they model and predict their environment with hierarchical prior beliefs updated via surprise/uncertainty minimizing bayesian mechanics. Species or cultural frameworks are like scientific theories in their evolutionary niche, testing themselves if they are evolutionary fit to be stable and reproduce or not. Many tools from many mathematical disciplines can be used to study this flow, as listed above in the image. I'm going to add and focus on these tools:
===Tools to find out how healthy an ecosystem is===
====General symmetry analysis principle====
General symmetry analysis principle[https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsfs.2023.0015 Making and breaking symmetries in mind and life, Safron et al., 2023]: A system's dynamics can be analyzed using harmonic analysis tools[Harmonic analysis - Wikipedia Harmonic Analysis] to map out asymmetrical information flow[- YouTube Physical reality and mind with Chris Fields | Reason with Science | Quantum theory | Consciousness] in relation to symmetrical flow. How easy the overall information propagation between parts is, tends to tell us a lot about the system's health. Too dense information flow halts the cooperative process of interacting parts. On the other hand, too much symmetry can interfere with the system's ability to resist entropy using structure, negentropy, information, knowledge with causal power. That's the issue of overfitting, too much order, being stuck in a bad local minima, versus underfitting, too much chaos, not differentiating between things that are benefitial or not for the system, when a system is creating an internal representation of the world and itself to make predictive models and act to constantly harvest negentropy through using metabolic energy and doing coherent holistic selfgovernance to not dissolve. On the other hand, too much selfgovernance of things that are not needed to be governed will halt the system's ability to feel freeying wellbeing, that's why acceptance theraphy gives a ton of relief, as it dissolves those for survival unneeded selfreinforcing clusters of bayesian conceptual contractions.[- YouTube Karl Friston on the Free Energy Principle, Psychology, and Psychotherapy] People and social system seem to be suffering from too much order on all scales.[https://twitter.com/JakeOrthwein/status/1650585844942802945 Carhart Harris on chaos and order]

====General annealing principle====

Spacetime may be seen as fundamental building block in quantum field theory or quantized/emergent from a deeper structure, let it be attempts at quantum gravity such as spin foam, strings, or gravitons. Or emergent from amplituhedron, or my favorite: from quantum information theory. This connects to the phenomenological intuition that experiental space and time are useful data compression tools for quantum information theoretic observers of some beyond language dynamics out there. Same goes for any other structures in experience.
====Relativism of lenses====
Different lenses on the brain, mind, society, the world or what is in general study it all from a slightly different perspectives as different evolutionary niches from different initial philosophical, technical and other assumptions using different tools specialized for different usecases predicting different things and are differently succesfull. I think all the lenses or metalenses can be merged in one giant metametalens. What matters pragmatically is how well the model is supported by empirical data and how it can predict other pontential empirical data through different general mechanisms, hiearchical structures, generalizing symmetries. Also some of the models are more easily used daily pragmatically for for example wellbeing engineering or its more pleasant and higher in wellbeing to have them actively in mind, which is determined by their valence, which seems to be mostly determined by how much they unify things in the accepted paradigms in the mind that it had acquired in the past or in society or how well they prove the carrier's enemies wrong.[Meta-rationality: An introduction | Meta-rationality Metarationality][- YouTube Foundations of Archdisciplinarity: Advancing Beyond the Meta]
When we scan the edge cases of predictive models, there may be a parralel between the slicing problem of combinatorial explosion of consciousness in computational models such as integrated information theory of consciousness and infinity explosive paradoxes in matter in quantum field theory?
====Quest for a theory of everything====
The free energy principle formalizes what is the mathematically best kind of model in any domain (natural science fields or in everyday perception) in theory, maximizing accuracy while minimizing complexity[I am therefore I think. KARL FRISTON - YouTube I am therefore I think, Karl Friston, 2022], so lets take the finite set of all measurements we have so far in neurophenomenology[https://twitter.com/mjdramstead/status/1649170821079003137 The inner screen model of consciousness: applying the free energy principle directly to the study of conscious experience, Friston et al., 2023][https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ejn.15990 FENS-Kavli Network of Excellence: Bridging levels and model systems in neuroscience: Challenges and solutions, Yoav Livneh, 2023], physics[Quanta Magazine Theories of Everything, Mapped, Natalie Wolchover, 2015] and other sciences and the mathematical models we employ to make sense of lots of the measured data into one coherent framework that have their own advantages and disadvantges in predicting different domains in different contexts and merge them all together into a single coherent framework that minimizes disadvantages and maximizes advantages. We can arbitrarily increase complexity to take in account all existing measurements and with each deflation using some kind of symmetry in the model we can generate more explanatory power by it possibly overflowing into hit or miss predicting so far unmeasured data but we can run into inconsistencies with other already measured data. I think this initial synthesis of many existing models being "true" at the same time on a higher level of complexity when taking in account where they are succesfull and where they fail and then those through symmetries deflating (possibly across scales and levels of analysis too) is a key method for finding a closest thing to a theory of everything, or a family of almost theories of everything that are differently specialized for different purposes!
It would be so great to have some kind of a meta (mathematical) language of attempts theories of everything in physics or theories of literally everything in natural science fields, consciousness, philosophy and so on, where each theory would be defined by its properties I'm describing below, then what one could care about in attempts at ToEs would be free (continuous?) parameters and for example quantum field theory, string theory, loop quantum gravity, universal bayesianism or other physics or archdisciplionary models would be a special concrete cases in this general language in this abstract mathematical space with string theory for example having "amount of unobservable properties" parameter set to gazilion, and this way in this language find a model that has the best ToE desired properies by just traversing this abstract space, trying to ground it concretely in the the empirical measurements we have as much as possible to make concrete predictions.
I like to distinguish between theories of every "thing" - usually unfalsifiable models/principles/mathematical frameworks/languages that can model anything really (usually its some abstract space of all possible models in some domain defined in some way), such as the free energy principle (but its applications to the brain or other complex systems then becomes) thanks the the infinite free parameter freedom, and attempts at theories of everything in physics (or natural sciences in general) that try to be as concretely grounded with empirical data in some domain as possible.
Middle waying seems like such an universal approach! Each model has its own different advantages and disadvantages in different domains! And some have equivalent properties! One can dissolve the hard boundaries between models by making them spectrummy by mapping out their properies in relation to eachother when reasoning about them! Middlewaying tries to minimize the effects of disadvantages and maximizes advantages! Physical theories live in a landscape as local minimas! You can also have mathematical correspondence mappings between scales using scalefree dynamical systems theory.
Continuous landscapes are useful for optimizing discrete systems too so even if most of the theories in the landscape have undesirable artifacts or messiness that would be undesirable, it might be possible for theoreticians to use optimization techniques on the landscape and either select the nearest "clean" model to the solution of their optimization problem or optimize for a section of the landscape and sift all the clean models out of that section. Some models are also more suited for our model building visualizing reasoning intuition that others, which doesn't have to correlate with how predictive they actually are.
In order to get the most predictive model of everything we can, I think merging the best physics, consciousness and overall ToEs together will be the way! Figuring out the structure of the black box of current empirical measurement mappings and fitting them into one model as accurately as possible.
Properties of models to take in account:
In physics (can be applied to all natural science fields):
-
Few free parameters (-quantum field theory (seemingly arbitrary constants), +string theory but -string theory (combinatorial explosion of dimension reduction))
-
High number of symmetries that unify in simplifying ways (+amplituhedron[ - YouTube Amplituhedron: The End of Space-Time, Nima Arkani-Hamed, 2022])
-
Minimum unobservable properties (-string theory[ string theory in nLab String theory][ Quanta Magazine There Are No Laws of Physics. There’s Only the Landscape, Robbert Dijkgraaf, 2018][ Compactification (physics) - Wikipedia Compactification in string theory], +quantum field theory[ quantum field theory in nLab Categorical axiomatization QTF: Algebraic/Functorial Quantum Field Theory])
-
Minimum unobserved observable properties (-graviton[ Graviton - Wikipedia Graviton], -supersymmetry[ Supersymmetry - Wikipedia Supersymmetry])

Consciousness, defined as subjective experience, can be part of physics. Physics can be part of consciousness.

Equation of Individual and Collective Happiness
Happiness equation includes the interplay between nature and nurture, between many environmental and genetic factors.
Happiness == Genetics + Environment[3 Things to Know: Social Determinants of (Mental) Health | Hogg Foundation for Mental Health Social Determinants of (Mental) Health, Hogg Staff, 2018] + Action[https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17439760.2019.1689421?journalCode==rpos20 Revisiting the Sustainable Happiness Model and Pie Chart: Can Happiness Be Successfully Pursued?, Kennon M.

Lucas, 2007]
What genes we got, in what environment we grew up in, what do we do, together form the structure of the brain which is where happiness is stored. How does it look like in the brain? I will explain it more in detail below. Many of those factors overlap and influence eachother across levels.
Happiness == Not really serotonin[The serotonin theory of depression: a systematic umbrella review of the evidence | Molecular Psychiatry The serotonin theory of depression: a systematic umbrella review of the evidence: no consistent evidence, Joanna Moncrieff et al., 2022] but yes dopamine as motivation molecule + Genes (for example rs324420 A allele in the FAAH gene not breaking down anandamide)[The Molecular Genetics of Life Satisfaction: Extending Findings from a Recent Genome-Wide Association Study and Examining the Role of the Serotonin Transporter | Journal of Happiness Studies The Molecular Genetics of Life Satisfaction: Extending Findings from a Recent Genome-Wide Association Study and Examining the Role of the Serotonin Transporter: "potentiation of AEA by substitution of both rs324420 C alleles with A alleles contributed to improved stress resilience and fear extinction, involved in the hydrolysis of anandamide, a substance that reportedly enhances sensory pleasure and helps reduce pain", Bernd Lachmann et al., 2020][Enhancement of Anandamide-Mediated Endocannabinoid Signaling Corrects Autism-Related Social Impairment | Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research Enhancement of Anandamide-Mediated Endocannabinoid Signaling Corrects Autism-Related Social Impairment, Don Wei et al., 2016][Potentiation of amyloid beta phagocytosis and amelioration of synaptic dysfunction upon FAAH deletion in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease | Journal of Neuroinflammation>

Annealing.[Healing Trauma With Neural Annealing Healing Trauma With Neural Annealing, Andrés Gómez-Emilsson, 2021] Time to shake things up and see where they settle. Brain is like a metal. When it gets used in activities that take effort, you start to feel tearing and inconsistencies in your experience, less symmetries in the metal's (brain's) structure (tissue and activity). The smoother the metal is, the more pleasant it feels. Activities that energize you, that I list below (in the sense that they make you less tired, increase energy parameter of then nervous system), heat up this metal, that starts to melt and fill up the tears and reconfigure the metal into a more symmetrical shape, which then cools down (integration) and you feel more peaceful, calm, relaxed, energized, smooth, happy, in flow, effortless, blissful, joyous, loving, connected, holistic, complete, fullfilled, in the moment,...[- YouTube Thinking Like a Musical Instrument or Psychoactive Substances Give Access to the Nature of Brains, Qualia Productions, 2022]
Symmetrifications are done mostly through the process of annealing. (for example meditation) Some symmetrifications might be symmetrifying in the short term but asymmetrifying in the long term through oscillatory dynamics such as the hedonic treadmill. (too frequent dopaminogenic activities) Hedonic treadmill isn't an universal rule, many activities such as meditation can permanently shift the baseline hedonic state. Some global dissonant asymmetries can be kept alive by local consonant symmetrifications that feel good temporarily. (for example substances like heroin that mute the mind's pain (because of trauma or high energy depression for example) on the surface without dealing with the cause)
List all symmetrifications:
Individual scale:
My most efficient annealing techniques that I combine with eachother. Each of them raise the energy parameter of experience and tend to dissolve local dualistic structures in favor of more global interconnected structure that manifest as high level connections insights and overall sense of less blocked experience, and also satisfies other kinds of basic needs:

Attraction, Motivation, Basic needs

[[File:ERG.png|1000px|Alt text]]
[[File:Engine of motivation.jpg|1000px|Alt text]]
Positive/negative associations from first impressions attracts/repulses people towards things and that reinforces itself with multiple similar encounters and it's harder to rewrite after that has already happened. Flight or fight responces can then happen. Generalizations happen. It's optimizing valence of already existing belief networks.
The first impressions, that start encoding the initial attraction/repulsion (can be mixed) conditioned reactions, seem to usually derive from minds predicting better or worse values of our subjective basic needs from Maslow hiearchy of needs or Joscha Bach's engine of motivation (pic), all of which, I suspect, is emergent from the free energy principle framework. Let it be complex social status, learned cultural aethetics, or anything else in this pic. I suspect all more complex reasons can be fundamentally reduced to this. Or the attraction/repulsion can be formed by direct, instead of indirect, pleasure, or better mental wellbeing, by for example substances, or meditation.
Different people are living in different aethetics and are attracted/repulsed by different categories of things that are formed by social learning or subjective generalizations of things that brought goodness or badness of experience in the past.

What is the best way to talk about all of this? How to contextualize all of this in the bigger context? I love quantum information theoretic quantum reference frames in the quantum free energy formalism. Qualia Research Institute talks about something similar with subagents in the experiental field having different points of view.
What are our deepest desires, our deepest motivations?
If you inspect your experience, sometimes they're hidden under the baggage (but sometimes useful) machinery of fluidly changing narrative self. (tangled clusters of hiearchical information processing, usefully predicting for certain contexts, entropy reducing, stabilizing, filtering, surface sensations) Sometimes they seem like crystal clear fundamental darwinian processes based on pure raw nonsymbolic intuition, the sense of source of all motivated behavior itself.
They usually can be framed in terms of fullfilling a nonlinear combination of parts in Maslow hiearchy of needs by constructing complex hiearchical stabilizing directiongiving motivating narratives or more fundamentally as surprise (uncertainity, free energy, prediction error) minimizing or stress/dissonance/process misalignment minimizing processes across time (and across other conscious agents in experiental constructed space too).
Meditation related narratives with their sensed systems of prior truths and hiearchical inferences from them seem like another such stabilized stress minimizing processes.
Behavioral patterns can be seen as set of attractors or limit cycles in the statespace of solutions to fullfilling hiearchical homeostats with good solutions or failure modes in psychopathologies (differently succesful individual and collective strategies to resolve basic needs and uncertainity about oneself and the world ActInf GuestStream #008.1 ~ "Exploring the Predictive Dynamics of Happiness and Well-Being" - YouTube ) In the context of social space and resources, there are different evolutionary game theoretic strategies using competition or cooperation.
Generalized meaning of life
We are attempting to find what is in us out there. We are selfactualizing, selfevidencing. Trying to align what we predict as perfect homeostatic conditions about us and the world with what we measure by changing environment through changing our inner models or by changing our environment thorugh actions. Trying reduce uncertainity about our conditions for hardwired basic needs and culturally learned objective functions, of our hiearchical graph of subagents. Trying to create synchrony between the self model and world model. Reducing uncertainity/dissonance -> increasing relaxation, destressification -> symmetrification. Flow state might be seen as stress source that is unstressing everything else in experience, even that stress can be dissolved on meditation and psychedelics. Good predictor and regulator of a system must be a model of that system.

===5-MeO-DMT trip report! 😸💖===
Effective buddhahood of internal and external compassion: evaluating beliefs and actions according to calculating an integral of total psychological valence and sustainability of consciousness in time and space
After not taking psychedelics for about 2 months, after cuddling with people for the whole day I did a macrodose of 5-MeO-DMT while hugging a plushie while in a warm blanket, listening to this love and kindness deconstructive guided meditation (1) with this music (2) and I think I reached "a new highscore" of the amount of highenery love I've ever experienced!
Doing nothing while swimming in pure high energy love for many hours straight... this was such a pure love, care, kindness, peace, bliss, resting in nothingness beyond conceptual thought and so on... I still even stronger love every being and all possible worlds, its all so lovely, youre all so lovely, may all beings feel understood, safe, peace, loved, happy, you deserve all the best! 😸💖 Any thought or anything stable in experience that that emerged dissolved into love, stress dissipating groundless ground. (3) So much consonance between any emerged local soliton models before they dissolved into global love. (4) High energy ocean/field of still beingness. The amount of consciousness felt infinite. (5)
It felt like the best possible experience at that moment, but highest Jhanas are probably even better when there's even lower amount of information (6) (7) - its hard to compare that! Jhanas also seem to have a more stable afterglow, even better when one manages to live in a Jhanalike state for the whole day. (8 ) Both's total goodness of experience totally go beyond anything else like orgasm.
One possible analogy, instead of waves just coming and going: most of the experience was one giant unified highenergy wave of love everywhere without a center, doer, and so on. But it was beyond all symmetrical analogies really, the whole experience was so symmetrical, stressfree, full of love, not bothered by anything, without dissonance or grasping nonlinearities on the whole unified worldsheet of being. (9) I saw some beautiful highly symmetrical visuals.
It seems, as Chris Fields is saying, that stress level is truly the best approximation hyperparameter of experience and in biology, reducable by letting go off everything, diffusing equaminity! (10) Same for QRI's dissonance and symmetry formalism. (11) (12) Or Shamil's lens on low information states in bayesian brain. (13)
I did lots of additional meditation or other annealing (14) activities and I'm still so much dissolved into love and stresslessness. Whatever sensations may be happening, everyone and everything is deeply accepted, totally find, fully loved. I love ya all. 😸💖
Goal to wellbeing: Cultivate and stabilize a consciousness state (metastable topological resonant belief network state) that is high in love for others and everything and low in stress (asymmetry), that isnt as high energy because of finite computational power in a sober state, that is reinforced through bayesian means by itself through tautological logic, supported by proofs from other beliefs/states, reinforced by sensory data as generally as possible, with some stable selfactualizing narrative interacting with helping love with others including love for ourselves to prevent burnout!

Such that we are able to tackle and solve the existencial risk and meaning crisis, give raise to less agents that destroy mental health of the population by attentional and limbic hijacking maximizing market dynamics that optimize for attention instead of meaning because of unregulated technological arm races as part of multipolar traps that benefit local structures in the short term and harm global structures in the long term.

Injection of energy allows for disrupting system's own local fix point homeostatic attractors, putting it to the edge of chaos, of its capabilities, to see other pleasant problem solving error reduction gradient slopes, (1) making it more flexible, adaptable, by allowing for disintegration of local structures that form dissonantly interacting nonlinearities, and giving raise to conditions for the construction of more global interconnected smooth consonant unified dynamics via canalization on a higher level of complexity, metaperspectival level, giving raise to more frictionless coordination, easier communication between subagents, interconnected governance systems, in the mind or the humanity.(2)

Cultural synchrony used to happen in tribes in villages. Then you suddenly got interconnectedness of all cultural mental frameworks through social media and tons of conflicting beliefs systems started to experience friction. Symmetrifying the dynamics by the language of meaning is the cure.
Europe's nation states unifying with higher degree of memeplex (ideologies, philosophies, goals) coherence after Russian threat is a case of an annealing on this scale!
Existencial threat signal injected more energy and the complex system of interconnected european nations which as a result disintegrated local nonlinearities (differences between european nations) and selforganized into a more overall symmetrical consonant structure. Single unifying objective function: not get consumed by outgroup Russia.
Civilizations or brains too rigidly overfitted to stable environments then fail to adapt to new challenges as reorganizing plasticity is missing and disintegrate.
Maybe one day all humanity will all eventually live in unified transhuman utopian harmony for team consciousness, if one culturally/politically designs the annealing forces towards cooperative unification on global scale. Daniel Schmachtenberger is good at unifying people towards solving existencial risks, Andres Gomes Emmilson and David Pearce are great at unifying people towards consciousness utopia. Those memeplexes are good at injecting this kind of energy in groups of people creating global coherence.
Utopian visions are more likely to be caught by more optimistic people, less pesimistic people. Lots of selective confirmation bias is going on depending on what we already know, if we learned to think optimistically or pessimistically. Fear and hope. Trust issues? Need to change. Sometimes acceptance is better (equaminity), sometimes not, depending on the context, such as the objective function "hell must be destroyed on the global scale, not just on the local scale". Vervaeke's relevance realization, uncertainity reduction, on all scales.
Michael Taft's and Shinzen Young's global relaxation guided meditations progressively dissolve disconnected canals in the brain generating experience in the the most direct method. I think periodically doing days of their relaxation meditation, then 5-MeO-DMT trip and then some more days of relaxation meditations, is the most efficient protocol for progressive meaningfilling of experience the most directly on the level of topology of the brain.
Developed world suffers from polarizing canalization on all scales.

Meaning and Metacrisis
Valence (internal and external attraction) crisis seems to in general be solved by some interconnecting memeplex on both individual and local level or all the other factors in equation of happiness. "Everything is made, comes from God, awareness." Any common beliefs, goals, values, ideology, philosophy, language, meaning,... it's about destressing the individualist local structures and stressing collective global structures until they're stressless dissolved unified baseline. Everything else in the happiness equation holds as well.

Evolutionary game theory - Wikipedia
Evolutionary Game Theory (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Moloch dynamics. https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/ I think this kind of mathematical dynamics can be applied scalefree in society and the mind. Psychopathologies can be seen as maladaptive nash equilibrium configurations of subagents. For example small perturbations can easily create tons of error signals in the system, putting it under stress which can unify it or destabilize it. Or trade off between freedom and governance, competition and cooperation. I care about both scales about everyone.
The problem with economy creating incentives that dont benefit wellbeing or longterm flourishing and multipolar traps is that you get competetive evolutionary arms races, exponentially growing compoundong interest in linear resource economy, physics of money making on money on money up to infinitum. This is unrealiable in long term. Exponentially growing economy was the solution to wars over resources moving from physical to economic scale. To sidestep resource scarity, silicon valley attempts to solve it by creating monetary value on software, but even that is limited as hardware and human attention is limited and wont grow infinitely. Attempting to redirect this towards an better nash equilibrium with more adaptibility to existencial risks and wellbeing of people without discoordinated competetive anarchy (too much freedom) or totalitiriam regime (too much control), but a third attractor, is hard.
Another big factor is to create intersystemic trust via steelmanning of values and satisfying as much parties as possible to diffuse tension and minimize friction to increase cooperation between clusters of agents and maximize alignment on the most fundamental level possible. (AIs joining the mix - use LLMs to understand LLMs is the most plausible method currently?)
More bio/cyber/etc. weapons (synthbio, AI,...) that might be as destructive as atomic bombs that might be even easier to make or control or monitor by open science and so on might be a bit of an issue.
Because world today is so interconnected and interdependant than before, destabilizing in one part of the world can effect the whole world for example economically. Climate change also effects everyone. Many of the risks are interconnected and there might be domino effects. Slightly more extreme weather killing crops creating mass economic migration putting stable countries under economic and cultural adaptibility load.
There will be always something underterminite when modelling and predicting a system, let it be quantum uncertainity, chaotic dynamics, the fact that we always approximate, or the fact that in order to model some systems we would need to simulate its evolution fully
We could maybe test what is needed for consciousness by slowly cutting off or replacing parts of the body and its systems to find out where the boundary is between conscious system and nonconscious system. Problem is pzombies or panpsychist assumptions assume that even an electron is conscious lol, so probably just the subject might know.
If the imposed dynamics imply better overall wellbeing of people and better global adaptibility to existencial risks, thats more positive sum for all to me. There are societies today or societies in the past that were more adapted or more well than others. It is determined by both internal and external factors.
Regulating climate change or AI has to be global because there are arms races and opponents that externalize costs to get local short term advantage at the cost of global long term get evolutionary advantage.
Meme complexes or organisms in general that evolutionary game theoretically win are those who dominate, convert, risk assert themselves as the only true one, such as Christian crusades, Alexander the great (or democracy is internally asserted as only good one) or China, where nonviolent Tibet is a failing strategy when it comes to survival.
Separation of power (market, church, state (legislature, executive, judiciary)) as an implementation of checks and balances as an immunity to prevent dystopian power monopoly and asymmetric dynamics. Hard to implement it long term in changing landscape of internal and external coniditons that needs to be adapted to and people forget why revolutions happened to destroy past power monopolies so they stop inhabiting asymmetric potentials through checks and balances of power structures and they start fusing into power monopolies plus sociopaths having evolutionary advantage.
Civilization can be analyzed in three ways that interconnectedly interact and influence eachother by interforming: what is its a memeplex (world views, value systems, what ought to be) (computational), social coordination strategies (behavior, financial incentives) (algorithmic) and physical tooling set upon it depends (tech) (implementational). What changes in all three od them simultaneously, factoring all the feedback loops, produce a virtuos cycle that orients in a direction that isnt dystopias (Chinalike top down agent imposing (opressive) goals and values on people instead of them being emergent from the values of people getting into the government using democracy) or catastrophies (zero governance, zero power checking, asymmetrical competetion of everyone, anarchocapitalism, bezos empire versus zuckerberg empire, zero top down agent) ? Cumulative exponential tech level is currently the most dominant and binding all other levels instead of the other way around. We need values of the people to bind tech instead. Those values can be elected into governance via will of the people via democracy with checking and balances of power from the people and by separation of power, preventing opression, tyranny and dystopias, creating aligned emergent instead of imposed values, by educating people both scientifically and morally and theory of governance, such that collective will of the people isnt dumb and misguided to govern exponential tech and selfterminate creating catastrophies but instead bind it for long term adaptive wellbeing by thinking about its nth order effects without big narrow techno pessimist or techno optimist bias universally globally to prevent arms races to not selfterminate the whole world by multipolar traps. Unity via less narrower more connected through more fundamental similarities value systems preventing stuff like left right polarization. For example people of US have small power on power checking the economical power.

Is statespace of qualia mathematically reducible to statespace of topological shapes from brain's neural network topologies? With hypothetical infinite computational power and infinite accuracy, could we predict any qualia just from those topological shapes? Does nonclassical phenomenological states beyond spacetime correspond to some neural network topology as well? Does unconsciousness correspond to absence of shape?

Or buddhist induce this metastable state by deconstructive meditation
Its interesting how deconstructive meditation can both increase dimensions through expansion of possibilities in some problem spaces but also decrease dimensionality by fully disintegrating the whole problem space solution seeking specialized machinery
Its a spectrum, concrete implementation gets generalized and expanded which increases dimensions and you can overfit in it but when you generalize too hard you underfit and it all collapses into entropy
Generalized by increase of information theoretic and thermodynamic entropy
low degrees of freedom as specialized solution that can be close minded -> more degrees of freedom resulting in greater complexity -> even more degrees of freedom resulting in unstructured disintegrated chaos of no more information encoded and all of it encoded in it at the same time in some sense
You can get more degrees from entropic activity, more neural density, more internal and global interconnectedness, more collapse of small world networks, creating more of a lattice than a spider web and you go full circle phenomenologically seeing one structure and infinite complexity together
If everything is connected to everything else then there are no things

3) Substances that reduce stress via annealing (psychedelics, ketamine) or energy reduction (downers) or other methods[- YouTube Effortlessly Being the Welcoming Openness guided meditation, Michael Taft, 2023]
Process of slowly disabling all processes in mind:
One mental process classifies another part of experience or another process as a construct and dissolving it that way, and that classifying process itself gets classified by a different one and this can go infinitely, until eventually there's just just the most basic process of there being some kind of existence, which can start selfdisabling itself and can succeed, resulting in "experience" beyond graspable concepts which realizes usually as something totally encrypted or a hole in memory.
everytime a certain subset of qualia is classified as a construct, it dissolves, but this process must continue recursively, seeing the constructedness of the deconstructors infinitely.
quickest way to stressless transcendental void beyond all but including all.
so much peace, resting in transcental conceptless void, so much inner defragmenting and unification.

How to find meaning and selfactualization
===Hyperspecific obsession=== After basic needs are met, hyperspecialized ecosystem of aligned problem solving subagents in one mind or collective that build structure by acting on mental states (example intellectual growth learning) (example sciences, philosophy, art, fantasy, knowing everything about rocks, theories of everything) or the world (example pragmatic application of knowledge in the real word towards some less or more grandiose visions) (example hobbies, engineering, cars, computers)
===Community - social graph=== Leader, or collective of leaders (governing structures), has hyperspecific obsession, lead the collective into its wellness by high level management of subagents, (example state ideologies, utopian visions, collective risks) giving concrete meanings with common goal signaling by visions to the collective's parts by outsourcing needed actions (example engineering, science progress, and application, knowledge growth, solving basic needs, wellbeing engineering, surviving, managing existencial risks, upgrading, evolving, growing, entertainment, unifying culture engineering, engineering access to novel experiences or ways to relax, science communication, minimizing friction in ecosystem of interacting diverse differently evolutionary specialized total mental frameworks aka world views aka lenses aka points of view aka ways of seeing (evolutionary adapted hiearchy of bayesian priors forming homeostatic problem solving subagents through interaction interaction and with the environment by reading/writing states, reading signals reinforcing current state or pointing to or forcing change from others, sending signals aka massage passing in active inference)), beating outgroups in status and power (even tho noncooperative zero sum games of groups competing for same resources probably lead to disaster for everyone) (ingroup outgroup divisions are increased by individualization, increase of languages of what divides us, loss of languages of what unites us)
Relationships, family - similar to community but on lower scales, they tend to be bound by implicit biological synchronizations, but that seems to get dissolved in more psychologically or physically intimite, or polyamory communities, then there are people with lone wolf philosophy that are very individualistic.
===Entropic dissolution into everything=== In the extremely deconstructed meditation/psychedelics induced states, no concrete selforganized collective of problem solving subagents (clusters of coherence) fighting for attention but instead the contents of the field of consciousness is dissolved into one giant wave of mostly nonclassifying symmetrical activity (example jhanas, sense of merging with God) with some highly symmetrical structures forming as source of beauty (example nature, poetry, art), which is all also present in (nondual) (optimistic nihhilism) philosophies (just being, being like water (flow state not interrupted by rigid concrete expectations), seeing beauty in everyday things), trance is energizing by repeating (symmetrical) stacked patterns in sensory modelities that's overriding existing potentially dissonant patterns creating global symmetrical metastable attractor mind state that can be futher reinforced internally or from the environment by compatible proofs or overall tautological logic.

===Context===
What are the underlying causes of all the problems we are as humanity facing, such as nuclear war to environmental degradation to animal rights issues to class issues, what do these things have in common?
"We have to shift is the economy because perverse economic incentive is under the whole thing, there's no way that as long as you have a for-profit military-industrial complex is the largest block of a global economy that you could ever have peace there's an anti-incentive on it as long as there's so much money to be made with mining, etc., like we have to fix the nature of economic incentives!"
"The core of the thing that we have to address is education because you can have so much change occur in a generation if those children are growing up different as as different as it is learning Chinese is your first language versus learning English we're so neuroplastic by the time we're adults we're not that neuroplastic we're kind of screwed if you get education right we want adults who care about the animals and the oceans and the contend to all of these things and can think complexly if we really get education right we'll be able to solve everything it's upstream from all that!"
"Really the thing is it's about social media because we're continuously being bombarded and we were ready to go do a capital Riot or a George Floyd protester Riot or whatever it is based on the stuff that's coming in if we could change the media environment of what people were in taking it would change all of these things!"
"No the thing is really at the end of the day it's about government and law and how do we get that right because the economic incentive wouldn't be that same issue if we could govern it properly if we could force the internalization of the price of carbon and get carbon pricing properly and get costs of everything proper all that would be fixed but we have to do that through law so how do we fix governance and law!"
"You can't because laws written by lobbyists that get paid for by somebody and wherever the economic motive is what's going to pay for that which is why you have to think about economics and a lot of the other so the key is political economy and how do you get that!"
"No really the key is actually parenting what we've really got to do is restore the family because before education by the time that kid goes to school at five or six that so much of their identity and psyche and value system has already said it happens early on we have to actually change the entire culture to have parenting emphasize raising better kids from the beginning!"
"Everything you're saying is so anthropocentric the key is the environment because we're none of us are anything without the environment like you have to prioritize that everything else doesn't matter that much and like what is an economy like we can breathe without money we can't breathe without air and so be less anthropocentric and focus on the integrity of the environment because that's upstream from everything!"
unifying languages, cultural compassionate transformation expanding caring cognitive lightcones, mental health reform, antimoloch narratives, (secular?) religion, structure of cities, preparing for climate/economic migrants
The answer to all of the problems is all of the solutions! There is not a theory of change, there's an ecology of theories of change! People can get fundamentalist about their particular solution because if you're working on something you should really care about it but in really caring about it you can become overly narrowly focused. Everything is complexly interacting, there's not a solution, there's lots of things that need to happen! I want patterns of how to think about it, and I want frameworks for how to think about it, I don't want people to attached to those frameworks because they'll be useful but also limiting and to realize the cultural aspects do involve education and media and parenting religion and lots of other things and the structure of cities and you know in the political economy aspects involve lots of things and so getting past the zealotists and reductionist focus and being able to get how do all these things come together is key to understanding properly! - YouTube
Let's model societal system using the active inference model from complexity science and see different subsystems in our society as different cognitive architectures and different attempts to change as different differently succefull evolutionary pressures on those. How to create the most succesfull evolutionary pressures to steer civilization away from molochian (short term competitive local gain in power at the cost of everyone's long term wellbeing) selfdestruction? How succesful are the current pressures? Where do we need more impactful solutions? Let's map it out!

There is a landscape of crises and (existencial) risks we face, landscape of solutions to them with different degrees of success, all acting as evolutionary forces in the Active Inference model of the global societal system
===Context===
The first outcome of the project will be a unifying map of literature that looks at approaches to identify threats to humanity and how to mitigate them with concrete actions.
It will find similarities and synergies between the approaches, exploring both pessimistic and optimistic perspectives, including making positive future visions real.
Examples of threats are AI risk, bioweapons, climate change, nuclear war, sensemaking and coordination failures, population wellbeing decline, adaptability, meaning and loneliness crisis.
The results will be contextualized using technical but readable format of science based mathematical Active Inference modeling framework and communicated by articles, videos, online and offline lectures in high impact communities.
The project will reach out to theoretical and applied researchers, allowing them to find problems to work on, and those working on similar problems to find collaborators, helping to increase the chances of a good future for everyone.
Project goal is to create a science based literature that maps out and bridges different research and applied research communities looking into the problem of existential risks and population wellbeing. It will communicate it in relevant high impact places, leading to more effective global coordination about these problems. The project outcome will serve as a navigation map, connect compatible research groups together, as well as motivate and incentivize groups to advance progress on their respective solutions with supporting research.
===Introduction===
Metaanalysis and synthesis of research literature regarding various approaches to solving the problem of existential risks (including AI risk) and population wellbeing management.
Using Active Inference and other complementing complex systems mathematical modelling and analysis tools as a concrete technical language to contextualize and synergize various approaches while finding novel solutions.
Map out the space of proposed solutions. Create science based plans to reduce the probability of bad scenarios happening and reduce the probability of extinction if bad scenarios already happen.
Communicate this research’s concrete solutions in research community and to places like Effective Altruism to implement the solutions in practice.
For example how to increase collective rationalism, adaptability, resilience, mental hygiene, connection, coordination by better communication, alignment of biological and artificial agents, or having structures monitor and solve existential risks.
===Goal===
Project goal is to create a science based literature that bridges between different research and applied research communities that are solving the problem of existential risks and wellbeing, and creating new solutions, and communicating it in those places, creating more effective global coordination. If a research or applied research group uses my literature as a navigation map, or if I manage to connect compatible research groups together, or motivate or incentivize a group to advance progress on a solution that is missing (for example missing nuclear fallout shelters), I take that as a win.
-
Summary of risks like artificial intelligence, pandemics, biological or nuclear weapons, nanotechnologies,... and the probability of them causing harm
-
Solutions to preventing above risks such as alignment research, reasonable regulation,... and what to do when they start causing harm such as nuclear fallouts
-
Summary of statistics regarding stuff that is already creating harm such as climate change, pollution, poverty, biodiversity loss, loneliness crisis, teen mental health crisis, financial crises, energy crisis, sensemaking crisis, coordination crisis, meaning crisis,...
-
Solutions to healing the symptoms of above problems such as carbon extraction bioengineering, reducing poverty,... and statistics of them being realized in practice
-
Solutions to healing the sources of above problems such as climate friendly technologies, cooperation,... and statistics of them being realized in practice
-
Put all above information into one map to find potential coordination and collaboration, potentially realtime updating website, where people can add updates?
-
Frame it all in complex systems language in order to make various solutions more science based and show how these problems are interconnected with eachother
-
List of possible futures depending on how all of this will go, from catastrophies to protopias?
-
Communicate the map of various risks to society's survival and flourishing that need more attention in impactful places to incentivize people working on it, online or offline by lectures, articles, videos.
-
When thinking more into the future: Create a an institute with research team monitoring current risks and solutions to them cooperatively on opensource website, framing it in complex systems science language, creating predictions of future, communicating the research in impactful places to incentivize practical application of needed sciencebased solutions
===Abstract===
My project is about tackling the problem of making it as humanity into the future in the most flourishing way. Societal wellbeing, mitigating existencial risks, failure modes, cooperation, flourishing, resilience, adaptivity, sustainable material progress, psychological progress, meaning crisis, polycrisis, metacrisis and so on. I am using the language of information theory, specifically active inference, or more generally Karl Friston's free energy principle, a technical language that can synthetize insights from humanities or mathematical sociology into complex adaptive systems mathematics! I think anything can be grounded in this language!
What influenced me the most? Karl Friston's free energy principle, Bobby Azarian's Universal bayesianism, daniel schmachtenberger's work on the metacrisis, work from qualia research institute, Active Inference community looking into wellbeing, psychology, sociology, collective action, goal alignment, failure modes in unsuccesful modelling and so on
Methodology is incremental learning of big picture languages, then concrete big picture theories inside them and then concrete models and empirical data supporting those
It conveys how societal physics looks like when they're reporting high degree of wellbeing, progress and long term global coordination and sustainability
We have trouble with comprehending the complexity of societal issues. Just like the nervous system isnt disconnected from other systems in the body, or how human individual isnt disconnected from the social system, we don't take in account how everything is very interconnected and influences everything in our modern interconn cted globalized world. We face challenges that Are deeply interconnected in nature. By seeing society as one big information processing modelling adaptive system made or interacting such systems, we can integrate complex dynamics inside one language and make sense of it all more easily. By analyzing the current statistics of our issues, such as climate or sensemaking, se can infer where are our weaknesses and heal the symptoms or causes of the issues it generates. We can see how different approaches to solving the meaning, poly and metacrisis can share much in common and how succesful they are in practice.
Some core insights are that we suffer from too much order, too little interconnected systemic thinking, excess of competition, disintegration of social cohesion, too little global coordination, not feeling moral responsibility for all future generations enough, lots of psychopathic active inference agents externalizing harm because of game theoretical short term local benefit

Metacrisis definition: Underlying crisis driving multitude of overlapping and interconnected global crises - ecological, governmental, economic, financial, geopolitical, energy, cultural, educational, epistemic, psychological, socio-emotional or spiritual crisis
Alternatively: metacrisis is the crisis of perception and understanding that lies within the range of crises humanity faces
Its more complex than everything going wrong using black and white pessimistic lens, there are things so much better in many ways as well, such as reducing poverty, illneses, increasing scientific progress. Some positive effects can in the big picture turn negative though.

=====Metacrisis definition=====
Underlying crisis driving multitude of overlapping and interconnected global crises - ecological, governmental, economic, financial, geopolitical, energy, cultural, educational, epistemic, psychological, socio-emotional or spiritual crisis
Alternatively: metacrisis is the crisis of perception and understanding that lies within the range of crises humanity faces
Its more complex than everything going wrong using black and white pessimistic lens, there are things so much better in many ways as well, such as reducing poverty, illneses, increasing scientific progress. Some positive effects can in the big picture turn negative though.
Ecological === We are hurting out environment that we need for survival.
- SENSE-MAKING CRISIS (WHAT IS THE CASE?):
“Confusion at the level of understanding the nature of the world. Everyday people and experts are struggling to say things that are true, unable to comprehend increasing complexity.”
Worst-case scenario: “complete epistemic unmooring and descent into the cultural vertigo of an inescapable simulation.”
Best-case scenario: “emergent forms of post-digital individual and collective sense-making spreading on a massive scale.”
- CAPABILITY CRISIS (HOW CAN IT BE DONE?):
“Incapacity at the level of operating on the world intelligently. In all social positions and domains of work, individuals are increasingly unable to engage in problem- solving to the degree needed for continued social integration.”
Worst-case scenario: “results in catastrophic infrastructure failure due to a brain-power shortage.”
Best-case scenario: “revivification of guilds and technical educational initiatives for a new economics of social system integration.”
- LEGITIMACY CRISIS (WHO SHOULD DO IT?):
“Incoherence at the level of cultural agreements. Political and bureaucratic forms of power are failing to provide sufficiently convincing rationale and justification for trust in their continued authority.”
Worst-case scenario: “complete citizen-level defection from all organised political bodies.”
Best-case scenario: “new forms of governance and collective choice-making that are built out from first principles, factoring in dynamics that are digital and planetary.”
- MEANING CRISIS (WHY DO IT?):
“Inauthenticity at the level of personal experience. Individuals from all walks of life are questioning the purpose of their existence, the goodness of the world, and the value of ethics, beauty, and truth.” "Crisis of 'we'"
Worst-case scenario: “peak alienation and a total mental health crisis.”
Best-case scenario: “democratisation of enlightenment, sanity and psychological sovereignty.”
======Active Inference context======
Humanity superorganism is a system made out of nested interacting systems (governing parts, social groups), active inference agent preserved by a nested hiearchy/hetearchy/anarchy of markov blankets corresponding to different concrete (governing institution) or abstract (subculture) substructures.
Sense-making === Confusion at the level of understanding the nature of the world. System making for survival and flourishing insufficient models of its internal (understanding how society operates) and external (understanding how nature operates) dynamics by falling into overfitting (too specialized) or underfitting (too general) or freeze responce (not doing anything) failure modes or not having enough computational power to train an accurate representation (unable to comprehend increasing complexity) or not directing modelling power to important areas (ignoring because of short term local interests or just being clueless)
Capability crisis === Incapacity at the level of operating on the world intelligently. Not enough coordinated action states to act inside various active inference subagents informed by efficient internal hidden (sense making) states (unable to engage in problem with specific efficient solutions) (solving to the degree needed for continued social integration), not taking in account long term consequences in time (not deep enough policies) or what destructive or maladaptive domino effects (interconnectedness of global crises and influences) (cascading causal influence in the network) it might cause inside or outside the system
Legitimacy crisis === Incoherence at the level of cultural agreements. Culture is defined by shared language, when there are asymmetric frameworks of beliefs that when interacting generate inneficient message passing with lots of friction (leading to loss of important information) and inability to reduce uncertainity between governing and laymen clusters of people, result is tension, absence of reinforced dependence and connection (resulting in agents being mutually unsatisfied resulting in mutual distrust)
Meaning crisis === Inauthenticity at the level of personal experience. Nonexistent implemented efficient collective scientific (natural sciences) (outside world) and psychological (spiritual) (inside world) uncertainity reduction protocol (metamodern culture of connection) leading to discoordinated local interaction of mutually incompatible disconnected agents with different fundamental priors (science vs spirituality instead of being together, corporations maximizing for limbic hijacking addictivity, corporations not aligned with governing intitutions not aligned with communities of people that are also not connected by something deeper, leading to too much of ingroup outgroup competition (above the healthy limit) instead of collective problem solving as humanity), absence of shared goal space and objective functions, inability to explore uncertain realms because of too much order leading to overfitting (too high mental specialization aka canalization leading to inability to see entropic beauty in everything, being stuck in one's perspective, leading to inability for empathy (psychopathic ethics), inability for theory of mind leading to inability for connection and collective uncertainity reducing goal states, leading to collective hopelessness (brains having action states crisis) and fear about future)
Ecological === system (humanity) destroying useful negentropy generator functions in the environment by planning short term instead of long term

===More thoughts===
My biggest unknown is: What are the most effective interventions to our system that will a) increase the wellbeing of human population, b) increase collective efficient mitigation and resolving of symptoms and causes of risks and crises and c) making efficient material and psychological (that complement eachother) progress leading to flourishing. And how all those factors interconnect. How to make them respect, support and check eachother instead of fighting violently.
From the perspective of moral responsibility for all current and future generations and looking at current climate reports I would say we need to globally as humanity act more to minimize the acceleration and existing destructive effects of climate change as the current priority (you also have other crisises like mental health, loneliness, energy crisis, overall metacrisis with sensemaking, education etc., or potential risks including nuclear, pandemics, nanoweapons, bioweapons, artificial intelligence (full of lots of perspectives), volcanoes,...). The current coordination doesn't seem to be enough to address the increasing negative climate change statistics and the metacrisis when we look at the current statistics. What are the current core causes of the climate problems? Corporations with big power capital having the most systemic influence maximizing profits short term individually (as in, not caring about the whole humanity), caring just for themselves in polarized competetive dynamics. What are the solutions? What strategies do we have? Spread the message? Fixing symptoms such as carbon extraction from athmosphere, polution extraction, helping biosphere in other ways? Fixing its causes? Make cheaper and better green technologies in science and practice? We can transform the internal structure of the corporations. Use peaceful cooperative dialog in attempt to transform them? Science lecture inside them? Beat them economically by winning over them in competition? Create less psychopathic more compassionate and more globally morally caring corporations winning over them. Make green technologies more economically viable. Use language of money more? Use economical and political pressure on those psychopathic agents. Santions? Altruistic financing? Use civil unrest pressure. Or damage them? Use violence? Or erase them?

Fixing its causes? Make cheaper and better green technologies in science and practice? We can transform the internal structure of the corporations. Use peaceful cooperative dialog in attempt to transform them? Science lecture inside them? Beat them economically by winning over them in competition? Create less psychopathic more compassionate and more globally morally caring corporations winning over them. Make green technologies more economically viable. Use language of money more? Use economical and political pressure on those psychopathic agents. Vote for green politicians? Sanctions? Altruistic financing? Use civil unrest pressure. Or damage them? Use violence? Or erase them? I understand Eliezer bombing GPU clusters to minimize unaligned AGI risk. Systemic revolution of steering our humanity superorganism away from selftermination with those cancerous cells slowly killing its host into a system not based on such strong psychopathic competetion? Attempt to rebuild society on collective meaning? But would that be enough force to stop the current strongest cancerous power structures screwing it up for everyone? Strenghten regulations? Strenghten global top down governance such as United Nations? That will create civil unrest from the psychopathic people and corperations (which already happens a lot), but if language of cooperation and peaceful dialog isnt enough, what then is enough? Are AI technologies accelerating it even more? Certain degree of competetion and arms races is evolutionary good and has certain advantages, like technological innovation, but too much of it leads us to those multipolar traps. Is peace enough? Is violence needed? Could violence lead to accelerated selftermination and disconnection instead of cultivation of culture of connection and harmony and resolving conflicting parts not aligned with the collective wellbeing? We dont want opression like in Russia, or chaos like in Somalia, we want something third that benefits the longterm wellbeing of humanity! Strong education about all of this? Culture of compassion and connection? Liquid democracy? Communes? Degrowth? What are other possible strategies? What are the most optimal combinations of those strategies to create the chances of the most efficient collective long term wellbeing, survival and flourishing? All of attempts individually add up into one giant force of care for all current and future generations! I believe we will succeed when we join forces together effectively!

AR6 Synthesis Report: Climate Change 2023
Raw capitalism creates an evolutionary pressure/incentive/objective function of raw profits, incentives that go against what feels good to most people. Money on money dynamics even more. You can use top down restrictions to maximize chances of collective survival, increase collective long term wellbeing and meaning, but its not given that governing structure will be aligned with values of people, wellbeing etc., so it needs to be checked via for example multiple governing structures or ideally by democracy. To avoid lots of meaning and wellbeing and theory of governance issues when electing, we need education of people in those issues, not being stuck in one world view with focused attention, aligning values of the governing parts with the layman compatible with wellbeing/risks science. Power check and reduce psychopathic agents by culture of connection and compassion? Gene editing to enhance compassion? Can laymen people even be systematically thaught these complex topics, is that realistic? Or is the only solution some strong enough evolutionary pressure on the structue of the system from wellbeing, existencial risk, etc. scientists? Some kind or technocracy? That needs power and corruption checking too. How to approximately evaluate expertise to minimize psychopathic agents? Some academic system that isnt as broken as current academic system? And who checks that? Some metascientists/metagovernaning structures? Who checks that? Do we need antimoloch God under everything tonescape this loop? How to avoid psychopathic evolutionary pressures? Is centralized power fundamentally doomed? Degrowth? Decentralized independent donbar number communes only? Does that halt collective action against for example climate change? How to prevent tribal wars? Is that even possible with current total interdependence? Does current system halt efficient collective action as well? Somewhere yes in some problems (EU climate) somewhere not (USA) (collective sensemaking and wellbeing), but not globally, and we have the metacrisis. Can gametheoretically stable "ideal" system equivalent to benevolent illuminati Gods controling everything for long term survival and wellbeing of the people even exist? There is also issue of plurality of existing moral/ethical etc. systems. Respect or try to reform those dynamics or some middle way? There is also the issue of plurality of models of wellbeing and risks and that also come from plularity of values. Can we synthetize them? Create evolutionary selection dynamics between them measured by their success? Minimize friction between them in an ecosystem where they interact? How about plurality of methods quantifying and measuring success? All this prediction and measuring stuff also takes tons of computational power and complexity that might be incomprehensible, we must approximate and select various comprehensible factors like in climate science. What are the best approximator factors to look for in the system? We're back at the issue of plurality. If we go from theory back to practice and editing what we already have, how to create the most efficient set of evolutionary pressures to steer the current system's structure more towards wellbeing and risk mitigation? Strengthten effective altruism education and influence?
Excess of competition/rivarly and order is behind the metacrisis?
Different people speak with different fundamental languages determining their actions so if one wants to change their action one should synchronize with their objective functions. Politics is a lot about the language of power. Corporations speak the language of money. Language of values. Language of morality. Language of meaningful experiences and meaning in general. Supercooperators are the golden nugget against the metacrisis. What are the best evolutionary pressures for supercooperation clusters? Compassion, psychedelics, meditation, unity, opposite of polarization, nonduality? Could massemailing people that have the biggest causal influence in determining humanity's trajectory while synchronizing as most as possible with their language lead to efficient evolutionary pressure towards a good third attractor?

The current economic system was a solution to no wars happening after WW2, where growth was not mediated by war but by exponentially growing GDP of economies, which might be breaking now with exponential extraction of resources that replenish linearly and Russia is under such pressure which results in it attacking Ukraine. If we assume all nations want to fundamentally expontentially grow by GDP, technology, resources and other means, and if physically nonviolent ways of growing are not an option anymore, they use war to conquer and grow, is this Russia's current state? Would financially helping them instead of sanctions paradoxically help the war other than accelerate? Or would it accelerate as their tense hatred of EU/USA etc. and need for annihilation could be used realized more efficiently? Or are sanctions strong enough to kill all their power to conquer? Maybe there's some middle way to minimize the growth tension that leads to the war? Should Russia be disintegrated to end it's evolutionary pressures for war?

Human intelligence not being bound by wisdom, where wisdom is seeing and setting goals and acting from the point of wholeness (planetary collective moral awareness) instead of from the point of parts, is the core driver of metacrisis we are facing. AI in the context of Moloch. AI in the hands of profit maxxing corporations with monopolies of economical and overall power over population with goals that are narrow, local and short term is a good idea. Narrow AI is accelerant of biowep/cyberwep and other existencial risks. General AI that's unaligned and with enough by wisdom's wholeness awareness unbounded agency not caring about everyone long term can do do lots of harm to our systems or us. Solution by stronger education and building good actors? Hopefully actors acting from wholeness will be strong enough!

Is money inherently broken system as liquid tokem with reduction of complexity and implicit asymmetries not accounting for externalities? Activism and lobbying into good actors in this hiearhical process to make destructive actions or actions with externalities less profitable and morally right to make economic incentive for the right kinds of actions in terms of minimizing Molochian dynamics. Closing the unsustainable loops inside economy that lead to pollution. Trees maintain the ecosystem's soil, many things live there, it interacts with water sources etc. and we dont even fully know how it works and by lumber extraction we get marginal local game theoretic advantage but potentially millions of dollars in terms of damage in the long term in terms of floods and extreme weather events or droughts or general ecosystem loss that we dont tend to factor, we affect suff that is in the unknown set that we cant fully measure because of its big interconnectivity and complexity and predictively chaotic behavior. Overall biological systems do holistic interconnected computations across scales that evolutionarily evovled by tons of natural selection and thats why they're so good at computing and plastic and unpredictable while our artificial machines predictively exploit just mostly one scale and one type of computation.

Transform psychopathic economic incentives to altruistic ones, emergent through culture of connection instead of division, training cleaning the mind from parasiging processes and connection to diffusion attention?
direct problem: rivalious dynamics
solution: changing the generation function by fusing with cultural eastern enlightenment by maximizing compassion which minimizes agents gain short term local profit instead of long term global profit (in terms of survival, flourishing, wellbeing)?
direct problem as a consequence:
existing agents benefiting themselves short term instead of long term for everyone driving climate change and exponential social media addictive tech destroying mental health meaning and so on
The answer to all of the problems is all of the solutions, I believe many solutions should to be more deployed synergetically more than the current attempts to make collective survival and flourishing more probable. I'm deeply optimistic the collective efforts across solutions will be enough, which is both optimistic prediction and fueling motivation for changing stuff for the better, as the opposite counterfactual implies hopelessness and doom and decreases chances of things actually getting better if people have that belief. Collective beliefs are both predicting and forming the future.
Good future will happen! Darwinian bonds will be transcended. Consciousness will flourish. QRI is the key player for reverseengineering consciousness. There will be infinite bliss gradients in game theoretically stable system undestroyable by petrubations. Let's make this happen collectively. Reverseengineering consciousness and universe. Beating Replicators. Beating Moloch. Optimism is not only justified, it's a fight for a higher future.
solutions: attempting to change the existing monopoly corporate giant's inner structure by enforcing wellbeing research into what they maximize (add values to the objective functions of facebook more MEANING ALIGNMENT INSTITUTE ) but also understanding their goals with compassion and economic incentives (slowly transform corporate mindfullness into deep compassion traditions by lecturing and practicing it?) will this be enough though, how to change the global maladaptive evolutionary economical incentives, are they centralized in corporates and psychopathic people with giant amount of power or distributed emergent dynamics from noncompassionate society and tons of generational trauma generating endless trust issues and driving disconnection crisis? how to direct psychopathic economic incentives into nonpsychopathic ones?? attempt at slow cultural transformation?? the fact that the cultural divide seems to be exponentially accelerating doesnt seem to be nice

Current state of the world - psychopathic power structure thinking locally and short term are dominating, inhabiting coopration against global long term crisis that whole humanity faces
Force the change of their internal workings
Create new ones that outcompete them, or merge with them through cooperation and make them less psychopathic (competition leads to psychopathy tho)
What do we want? Reduce uncertainity about our basic needs and (evolutionary pressured by nature plus nurture) learned goals driven by values (minimize Active Inference agent's free energy (decrease dissonance) of objective functions pretrained by evolution or culture or individual inquiry in interconnected societal system). Evolution pretrained us to automatically depend on others in family, community, culture, nation state etc. That's broken by genes correlating with psychopathy combined with environmental influences such as for example pollution, inflamation, or depending uncertainity minimizing mutual agent to agent bond being unsuccesful and thus breaking, leading to feeling hurt and cascading trust issues leading to asymmetries and rivalious dynamics and isolation and alienation and individualization of the agent or clusters of agents in their social graph in relation to mimimizing uncertainity about basic needs, leading to loneliness and dissolution of motivation for collective synchronized sensemaking and shared goals to survive and flourish collectively, which can is fixable by strong enough evidence that bonding is worth it to satisfy basic needs and goals collectively by compatible language or action. Leaders do collective uncertainity reduction this at scale.
How to fix any problem:
Locate and name maladative symtoms (surface processes) and the core generating functions (cause) those symtoms.
Find and apply methods of fixing both symtoms and the core generator functions such that collapse of the system's stability doesn't happen by mathematical theory's derivation from the system's laws (regularities in time) or by experimenting.
Spread solutions throught the system by efficient massage passing and incetivize parts to cooperate on solving this problem.
In the spacial case of the meaning crisis - Find what you're best at: theoretical research, practical research in different scientific fields, engineering, accounting, working with people, spreading solutions - and do that, ideally do what isnt done enough yet, where work towards survival and flourishing is missing.
Succesful leaders install local and global objective functions into agents, giving oportunities for pleasant error reduction gradients, creating goal alignment, resolving power or belief asymmetries that lead to conflicts via finding common ground, make efficient selforganization
We need more efficient leaders reducing population's uncertainity by speech with realistic models and incentivizing people to actions that increase collective chances of survival and future flourishing, giving people sense of meaning and sense of connectedness with the collective
Many leaders with slightly different fundamental assumptions emerge, but with the same intention of unifying people to survive and flourish. Could metaleaders aligning existing leader's languages help?
Could the underlying crisis of metacrisis be interpreted as valence crisis as a sign of dying humanity superorganism? Possibly too pesimistic interpretation. More like tons of before differianted human superorganisms attempting to merge together as their markov blanket boundaries dissolve together thanks to the internet, will we do it succesfully? Are we witnessing the statistical merging of Europe, then merging of Europe with America and rest of the world, is China succesfully stable markov blanket on its own?

Why do people seem to feel so unhappy? Let's look at the biggest predictor of happiness - strong human relationships. The secret to happiness? Here’s some advice from the longest-running study on happiness - Harvard Health In what context do people live happy lives? When they're helping their tribe, or ingroup in general, unless you're a psychopath, and according to some researchers, psychopathy is on the rise. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/surviving-the-female-psychopath/202206/does-psychopathy-begin-us Where's the problem? I doubt genetic profile has changed, let's look into environmental factors. A lot of people report not being satisfied with their job, not seeing meaning in it, such as for example soul numbing corporate jobs, living from paycheck to paycheck. We need to feel connected to the collective and feel like we're doing good for it. This is the loneliness/interconnectedness crisis. We must cultivate a culture of connection to fix this. There are so many asymmetries in cultural dynamics killing this. Instead of making money for overly rich boss that's not altruistic, we wanna feel like adding value to our ingroup directly. This makes sense evolutionary, as this is the conditions we mostly evolved in.

Conflicts are the result of (overly) confident mutually asymmetric beliefs creating friction by selfevidencing attempts interaction increasing tension leading to blow up

Radical going to the deepest source of any problem possible combined with radical empathy seems to be the best kind of problem solving method. Sometimes you can only heal symptoms, sometimes its too late, sometimes you can change whole future iterations of the system by changing its deepest pattern generator functions.
I think many of the individual solutions to the metacrisis can be modelled as fundamental and everything downstream from that, many thinkers ended up with that in their model, but I think they're all partial. I tend to be often on the side that education is one of the strongest factors that should be enhanced and many things downstream from it. There are many methods to achieve that for example, I'm slowly mapping them out. You can try to get people with lots of power on your side (those that have causal power over how education is realized) for example and try to speak as much as possible their language and incetivize positive change via dialog, money, contribution etc. Or for example if you have wealthy people or government destroying rainforests, here you can talk their language by appealing to the fact that it kills climate and ecosystems leading to crop failures leading to food scarity leading to internal instability of angry people thats hard to govern and costs lots of money. I would say its about finding where you have the highest chances, as an individual, or as a collective. Many movements are attempting to do the many reforms already, so supporting those, finding what actors are more likely to get on your side, etc. Science communication about these problems. Some friction will almost always happen. I would say it's about minimizing it. Sometimes only confrontation prevents long term harm. Sometimes too much confrontation can be counterproductive instead. Being too radical might end up damaging somewhere, but might be good somewhere. Depends a lot on the current problem space I would argue. Some issues with deep roots will probably need much more radical changes, I agree. Redesigning how current money mechanism and its physics works by changing it into something different that doesnt generate as much perverse incentives by for example less reductivity - that would require lots of big changes. I would argue it all lives on a spectrum. From changing slightly what is to extreme changes. I would say its about finding what is the best middle way. I believe current dynamics will be changed by all the various movements attempting to change for the better on this spectrum. As an individual I attempt to be as effective agent as possible by so far mostly learning about all these things and communicating them and I want to do more educating. I am/plan to join more forces with various other people attempting to help all of this. I wish one person could help all of it at the same time, but that's impossible. Strenghtening collective effort in all the various problem landscapes is big part of it. Hopefully the collective acceleration will in good direction and strong enough. I can do only so much as one agent that is attempting to help this. Attempt at (automated?) mass education is one way.

Metacognition of society
Attentional mechanism of society
Sensory modalities of society
consciousness vs replicators
cancerous psychopathic processses vs everything else
local rivalious dynamics vs global cooperation
i see this pattern in all those inquiries
in some sense one can frame cooperation as a form of competition anyway 🤔
but thats because darwinian meme is so tautological
i wonder if the ideal middle way can be quantized
aka simulating an ecosystem of agents and playing with the competition/cooperation parameter and seeing parameters create the best level of fitness - YouTube here they show that collective cooperation is more fit in their simulations in collective uncertainity reduction (sensemaking)
i would say it depends a lot on the current circimstances of the internal and external states
possibly dynamically changing depending on what are current threats to stability or survival for example
though i would assert current social system suffers from too much local competition and too little global cooperation leading to metacrisis connection crisis
agreeableness crisis?
too much overfitted local order trapped in focused attention -> plasticity crisis? OSF

Principled Societies Project Principled Societies Project Home
“A society can be viewed as a superorganism that expresses an intrinsic purpose of achieving and maintaining vitality. The systems of a society can be viewed as a societal cognitive architecture. The goal of the R&D program is to develop new, integrated systems that better facilitate societal cognition (i.e., learning, decision making, and adaptation). Our major unsolved problems, like climate change and biodiversity loss, can be viewed as symptoms of dysfunctional or maladaptive societal cognition. To better solve these problems, and to flourish far into the future, we can implement systems that are designed from the ground up to facilitate healthy societal cognition. The proposed R&D project represents a partnership between the global science community, interested local communities, and other interested parties. In concept, new systems are field tested and implemented in local communities via a special kind of civic club. Participation in a club is voluntary, and only a small number of individuals (roughly, 1,000) is needed to start a club. No legislative approval is required in most democratic nations. Clubs are designed to grow in size and replicate to new locations exponentially fast”

“We explore the effects of providing baseline AIF agents (Model 1) with specific cognitive capabilities: Theory of Mind (Model 2), Goal Alignment (Model 3), and Theory of Mind with Goal Alignment (Model 4). Illustrative results show that stepwise cognitive transitions increase system performance by providing complementary mechanisms for alignment between agents’ local and global optima. Alignment emerges endogenously from the dynamics of interacting AIF agents themselves, rather than being imposed exogenously by incentives to agents’ behaviors (contra existing computational models of collective intelligence) or top-down priors for collective behavior (contra existing multiscale simulations of AIF). These results shed light on the types of generic information-theoretic patterns conducive to collective intelligence in human and other complex adaptive systems.”

How do you conceptualize states of consciousness with the absence of spacetime? I Andres' description in this video, but I feel like there should be more to explain, can we ground it in more models? I want to see a fundamental physics model that explains spacetime in experience.

Since my last 5-MeO-DMT trip with experience of "extremely intensely" "mindblowing" (compared to other trips or meditation) experience of no spacetime (or any structure in general), that was probably my best experience in my life, it made me extremely curious to understand the nature behind it! As approximately as possible! It seems like total absolute mystery!

How linked is phenomenal and physical spacetime? Can phenomenal spacetime emerge from physical emergent spacetime? Or other way around? Or is it one thing? In order to account for beyond spacetime experience, should use models beyond spacetime? If physical spacetime is emergent from entaglement, is phenomenal spacetime emergent from brain's binding that kind of acts like entaglement since it supports phenomenal spacetime? Could we use holographic principle maths there?
Can phenomenal spacetimeless states of consciousness be like cessations classically modelled as disintegration of brain's message passing activity? https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0079612322001984 Inhibition of memory saving mental faculties? Dissolving, smoothening lots of thermodynamic global symmetry breakings creating concrete sectors of qualia? How to model it in fundamental physics that goes beyond classical mechanistic functional notions of the brain with (relativistic) spacetime? Is phenomenal spacetimeless totally random points of view from different parts of the topological pocket leading to chaotic interfering cancelling out of different paths, getting total dissonant or consonant symmetrical global harmony (in my case it was always the consonant case)? Did the dynamics inside the topological pocket's boundary normally corresponding to fieldlike behavior of superposition of all possible paths just turned into absolute chaotic breakdown with alien inner or outer shape and edge cases where no stable emergent classical patterns had any chance to survive through darwinian selection of pointer states (Quantum - Wikipedia_Darwinism ) and spacetime as error correcting code glue had no chances of functioning correctly, no more sense of screen and spacetime from every possible path within the pocket? How about the binding problem, are spacetime fields of consciousness emergent from something deeper to account for states of consciousness without spacetime? Can topological boundaries really be frameinvariant in nonlocal frameworks or models that don't work with spacetime or have it fundamentally as possibly relativistic/relational emergent phenomena? Is the pocket emergent (possibly as a result also relativistic? could relativity here imply a kind of frameinvariantness though?) from deeper mathematical fundamental physics structures? (amplituhdron, loop quantum gravity, holographic principle, quantum darwinism, quantum FEP etc. I mentioned earlier?) Can we mathematically reduce it futher, making fundamental (almost) nothing concrete that aligns with our intution?
Or maybe dissolution of topological pocket's boundary disintegrating it a one subjective experience in spacetime unit? Here the sense of evolution of contents in a topological boundary seems to break down. But only "I" "have" this "memory" in our relativistic shared physical and dynamical phenomenal spacetime, or is it the case that space and time and sense of individuality are fundamentally all ontologically an "illusion"? Is reality totally beyond structure? But we still want to predict it? What's the minimal predictive transcendental mathematical structure of reality? Can this be grasped in QRI's physicalist ontology, such that those states could be neuroengineered with predictive explanatory empirical scientific models, and explaining neurophenomenology of 5-MeO-DMT more? Neuroengineering someone's neurophenomenological physical state beyond phenomenal spacetime using someone else's phenomenal spacetime! Many questions! Are they answerable? Are they just neverending unanswerable Zen koans? Nature of reality! Fun!
Exploring the nature of physical reality's deepest structure
My message to Chris Fields Chris Fields Research
I still have questions about free energy principle for generic quantum systems. I am attempting to merge it with quantum darwinism applied to subatomic particles. This is my current understanding and I might have made mistakes in learning, feel free to correct me:
We start with axioms: time symmetry and nonchanging physics. We start with general definition of entaglement: nonseparability of one system into two That's enough for a theory to be considered quantum? And noncommutativity of measurments? We're made of complex numbered wave functions for subatomic particles interacting and entangling with eachother, do we use that as general arbitrary quantum system? - YouTube Does any classical information that we can measure, such as momentum or velocity, corresponding to an exact mathematical operator? How about a classical bayesian belief? Is it qubits read by quantum reference frames all the way down? Or can we instead of the quantum wavefunction use any general (quantum) (probabilistic) differential equation now on different scales? General definition of classical information: measurable properies of pointer states that are quantum eqivalent of classical states that went through decoherence's natural selection (measurable location, spin, momentum, bit, some classical comprehensible property that isnt just a wavefunction in general?). Spacetime can be seen as glued by entaglement doing quantum error correction by holographic principle - more entaglement -> less distance, less local energy, globally further in time. Human perception is entaglement through linguistic contextual relativism. Mental processes are relational aka entangle to make a unitary experience. Binding is information theoretically entaglement by nonseparability of mental processes, of qualia bound to the phenomenal field and relational, you get holistic field computing. They might be nonentagled particles, but the whole experience is nonseparable fundamentally, but we can separate part of our experience and that also kind of goes through decoherence into classical information (decoherence is lost of relationality, loss of globality). Entaglement is kind of like emergence here. Topological pocket implies classical spacetime's "objective" relativistic location pointer state. Frontiers | Don’t forget the boundary problem! How EM field topology can address the overlooked cousin to the binding problem for consciousness Or by quantum coherence? (neuronal superpositions) Spacetime emerging from entaglement now seems to work on both global physical and local neurophenomenological level. If you can separate a brain dynamics into two fundamentally disconnected systems, how can there be one unified experience? And you still cannot really disconnect it from the environment - here we get emergence of shared culture and universe that all computes relationally, never in isolation. You cannot separate, explain our experience without taking in account our environment that its trained on, that it models, that it reflects, that it works with evolutionarily dynamically adaptively! Or can you, are artificial neural nets working in isolation, or is their information also fundamentally relational and nonseparable to its training data set? But because its not entaglement (nonseparability, relationality, binding) in our shared physical space that would generate space, or that its not implemented as a topological binding into one segment in the EM field, it doesnt create unified experience in spacetime? The unified topological information processing needs to be nonseparable system in our shared spacetime? Or it doesnt need to be? Do they have their own spacetime? Is it arbitary, are both observing quantum reference frames as long as its dynamics correspond to a cocone diagram, a markov blanket? Any statistically unified information processing? Why the quantum - because we're using mathematics of quantum theory - entagling (making nonseparable) general physical quantum systems. It also gives us bayesian coherence, correlation, conditional dependence (it giving information? it having causal influence?). If so, is this how substrate independent information processing agents will merge their experiences into unified global mind's experience? - YouTube
Is reality qubits read by quantum reference frames with bayesian cocone diagrams with spacetime and perception as entanglement and classical information as measurable properies of pointer states that are quantum equivalents of classical states that went through decoherence's natural selection all the way down?
Second explanation:
Entaglement is statistical nonseparability of one system into many. [2112.15242] A free energy principle for generic quantum systems - YouTube
In quantum darwinism we have pointer states, the quantum equivalents of the classical states of the system after decoherence has occurred through interaction with the environment that survived in darwinian natural selection, leading to loss of quantum entaglement, transforming quantum information into classical information. Spacetime and gravity are part of the classical state. Quantum - Wikipedia_Darwinism
Let's suppose quantum reference frame (QRF) A corresponds to organism A and QRF B to organism B. Let's suppose those QRFs' cone-cocone diagrams are implemented by the brain dynamics, that are fundamentally modelled by quantum darwinism describing potential entangling of subatomic particles (or arbitrary quantum systems in general that can be classical pointer states), and approximated by various quantum field theory, neural field theory, or any other classical or quantum models used in neuroscience, neurophysiology, neurobiology, biophysics, quantum biology and overall consciousness studies. Quantum - Wikipedia_mind#Quantum_brain_dynamics On Connectome and Geometric Eigenmodes of Brain Activity: The Eigenbasis of the Mind?
The leading theories of consciousness think that brain corresponds to a quantum system that mostly works classicaly, they suppose that brain doesn't really do mainly pure quantum computing (on the level of particles), but instead mostly classical computing, because assuming it (particles) was entangled, it would quickly locally decohere because of too much environmental interaction (even tho globally there's one universal wavefunction where nothing ever happens [1210.8447] Nothing happens in the Universe of the Everett Interpretation and according to quantum cognition there's entaglement between mental processes and between organisms, which is formalizing contextuality while communicating Quantum - Wikipedia_cognition ), and this being the reason why our current built quantum computers must be in really close to absolute zero to maintain stable entaglement. Quantum - Wikipedia_mind But quantum computing on the level of particles might play just a small role in the function with some empirically measured entanglement. (nuclear proton spins of 'brain water' being entangled) Experimental indications of non-classical brain functions - IOPscience Therefore, according to quantum darwinism, its a physical quantum state with subatomic particles with a lot of internal separable classical pointer states.
My main question is: When communication between those two systems (organisms) through entaglement happens, which is the basis for perception, do we put in a quantum superposition a system that is separable (QRF A) with another separable system (QRF B), making the resulting system nonseparable, resulting in quantum entaglement? Do all the before separable states in the QRFs become unseparable, because the two QRFs become one quantum superposition? Will that cause the entangled system to have the properties of quantum computing (time symmetry), instead of classical computing? How do these properties manifest in concrete situations? Contextuality of our language? Is there time symmetry in our language? What are the best empirical examples? Nonseparability of symbols in language or bayesian beliefs present among cultures?
When it comes to sight, what does the classical content of our visual field (holographic screen) correspond to, what system/s do we entangle with? Photons? Or emitters of those photons (sun)? Or with the system they bounce off from (chair)? All of it, because without this photon bouncing process, or without the object, or without the whole univserse, there wouldn't be us, which is fundamental contextuality of everything? But its good enough pragmatically to make classical approximations to predict quantum states that behave classicaly, where time symmetry doesn't seem to be really utilized locally, while being utilized globally everywhere? How does sound work? How do other senses work?
Is the communication between the nested holographic quantum reference frames in our neuroanatomy also realized via the same kind of entaglement? Contextuality of mental processes? OSF
How do thoughts fit in? Classical information? Feelings? Ontologies? Fundamental bayesian priors? Is the sense of isness that Heidegger or Buddhism talks about the most fundamental bayesian prior? Are boundaries, disctintions or any concrete structure in experience just symmetry breakings in the thermodynamic flow in hiearchical bayesian networks? Are all qualia just different classical information corresponding to some entaglement of our organism with some other external physical system, encoding relational correlations with the environment? Can all qualia be explained in quantum FEP? Does our phenomenal spacetime (error correcting code glued by entanglement? - YouTube https://noetic.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Conscious-Agents-Full-Proposal.pdf ) correlate to other quantum systems' relativistic relational phenomenal spacetimes that are part of their classical pointer states that we entagle with and therefore percieve together shared spacetime? What do phenomenal states, where sense of spacetime or existence stops existing (on disorders of consciousness, deep sleep, deep meditation, psychedelics) correspond to the loss of entaglement? Is all qualia classical? If all perception is relation entaglement with other quantum systems, would that mean that our holographic screen could "measure" the existence/correlates with quantum states that don't behave classicaly? Are there "quantum qualia" corresponding to quantum information? Does that make sense mathematically?
Are elementary particles the best fundamental building blocks to use in quantum darwinism, since quantum field theory models the universe as system of interacting quantized fields, where particles are just excitations of the fields? What other fundamental building blocks can we use, how to properly define them? Excitations? Waves? Strings? Loops? (from loop quantum gravity Loop quantum gravity - Wikipedia ) Arbitrary for quantum reference frames "graspable" quantum or classical information in a quantum system that can behave classicaly? Undefined? And since quantum field theory standard model assumes background spacetime and we want spacetime as emergent classical information, when it comes to the emergence of classical spacetime from quantum, what all models can be used to understand this relationship? What other proposed QM+GR unifying fundamental physics theories or frameworks could be used to make spacetime emergent from a deeper principle, finding pointer states with classical spacetime in quantum mechanics? Do you have a favorite one? For example: The more entangled two quantum states are, the closer to eachother they are geometrically and total entaglement increases as time passes and where is there is energy (therefore also mass) there is less entaglement - YouTube , entaglement being glue of spacetime - YouTube , spacetime being quantum error correcting code - YouTube or amplituhedron (encoding momentum of particles in twistors aka spacetimefree 4D complex plane?) - YouTube or string theory? Could the mathematics of models that instead try to quantize classical spacetime be helpful here, like loop quantum gravity? Loop quantum gravity - Wikipedia
How to think about bayesian networks minimizing free energy without appealing to some update function that assumes time, because space and time is classical information embedded inside the network? Because it is encoded as entaglement error correcting glue, we just describe slice in time by the total amount of global entaglement and interaction is defined as all the possible paths in the free energy landscape, that is mathematically equivalent to quantum theory's by default universal wavefunction, one fully entangled globally spacetimeless system where spacetime just makes sense locally? Is sense of and measurment of locality relational? What's the nature of entropic arrow of time towards greater entanglement in the universe?

I vibe with qualia research institute's and quantum free energy principles's ontology and try to unify them - mental is physical - physics models are also consciousness models, that approximate the substrate of physics that is the substrate of consciousness and help us predict it - quantum field theory, quantum darwinism, spacetime from entaglement, quantum loop gravity, holographic principle, quantum formulation of the free energy principle, or other fundamental physics models, or other quantum or classical models used in physics and modelling consiousness - whatever you choose and synthetize, its also describing consciousness, and individual experience in a qFEP's quantum reference frame implemented as bound by neural synchrony or quantum coherence (neuronal superpositions) or QRI's topologically segmented pocket in the EM field or other solutions or some synthesis of those.
The question if we can construct a physics theory that can predict everything in total accuracy is also deep, because we're local observers with finite modelling capacity and computational power (bounded rationality), but its the best we got, so assuming unity of underlying physical substrate with topological fieldlike information theoretic dynamics being substrate of consciousness that we approximate with various unifying physics models is IMO the best we can assume for doing science, aka creating predictive models that give us the agency to manipulate reality with technologies or psychotechnologies derived from them.
From global universal wavefunction of reality made of one nonseparable unified entangled system we locally emerge into spacetime with quantum system contents with evolutionarily competing separable classical pointer states in the process of decoherence with quantum reference frames corresponding to quantum systems processing information and percieving and modelling and acting communicating via entaglement and getting closer to eachother in space via increasing entanglement overtime.
In full generality, general quantum system can be considered conscious according to various mathematical conditions on quantum or classical scales (all theories of consciousness, topological pocket in classical spacetime pointer state) with various overlaps between them. Do all topological pockets - YouTube have a corresponding Quantum reference frame's cocone diagram implemented as Markov blanket classicaly?ShieldSquare Captcha Most likely not the other way around. Is the QRF measuring topological pocket as classical pointer state? Before we test various theories of consciousness (turning off irreducible Markov blanket at the top of the hiearchy? - YouTube phenomenal bridges? Discussion: Chris Fields, Mark Solms, Michael Levin - YouTube - YouTube breaking some proposed fundamental neurophenomenological mathematical structure?) So far we can just believe the theory's mathematical consistency, existing empirical grounding and phenomenological correspondence.

So, if we wanna describe all natural scientific fields in one model using the quantum formulation of the free energy principle or overall quantum information theory and fundamental physics, we can use it to formalize the fundamental relationality of information in any other scientific discipline that studies arbitrary quantum systems that may or may not have classical correspondences in various models, where all models are useful approximations and evolutionary niches. [2303.04898] A variational synthesis of evolutionary and developmental dynamics All the mathematical models or differential equations used to predict dynamics in chemistry, biology, sociology, ecosystem science, astrophysics and so on are different special cases or approximations of those underlying quantum dynamics in quantum reference frames with holographic screens for communication that cause higher order causal information processing with agentic free energy minimizing modelling in nested hieachical bayesian graph and acting across scales. Can this be formalized as multiple cocone diagrams forming higher order cocone diagrams by informorphisms encoding higher order semantic information, a cocone diagram where nodes are themselves cocone diagrams, not just classifiers and semantics. Are the fundamental classifiers nonreducible information processing in physics, corresponding to the simpliest information processing of subatomic particles or excitations or loops or strings or something else, that together form collective information processing with shared context in a cocone diagram and that forms again higher order cocone diagrams up to theoretical infinity? Is this the nature of emergence of collective intelligences from collective intelligences? From (inert) simple interacting subatomic particles or other fundamental entity (that through entaglement form the quantum error correcting glue of spacetime) to atoms to molecules to cells to brain regions to brains to organisms ShieldSquare Captcha to communities to cultures to nation states to planetary systems to galaxies and so on, from lower order quantum information theoretic goals that bind and form a unit together getting higher order goals by this nested fractal cocone collective bayesian free energy minimizing information processing structure with top down and bottom up causality across scales performing active inference, where classical or quantum differential equations describing them tend to get more and more complex with increasing structural information processing complexity, but in some cases we can locate simple laws acting as good enough approximation for its context that can also sometimes be transposed across many contexts, is that convergent evolution of nature balancing between simplicity and complexity on all scales? - YouTube

Is culture stable patterns aka shared context among many individuals? 2023 Course: "Constructing Cultural Landscapes: Active Inference for the Social Sciences")
Is art and music and dancing creating consonant patterns in the brain while reinforcing cultural patterns, reducing uncertainity through knowledge giving text, reinforcing sense of self and emotional and ontological fundamental bayesian priors of the individuals that all want to selfevidence, find themselves out there, corresponding to baseline harmonic modes in the brain?
Is ethics different evolutionary niches resulting from our internal evolutionary pressure to feel connected to the collective?
Is philosophy in general exploring the formation of arbitrary knowledge bayesian graphs?
Is law studying governing top down algorithms restricting or allowing certain types of behaviors of units, creating some shared context to minimize chaos?
Is economics studying the dopamine of the society?
Is journalism studying the attentinal system of our society?
Is military part of our immunity system?
Is wellbeing based in efficient uncertanity reducing colelctive behavior of various information processing subagents in the nervous system creating symmetrical dynamics that is interconnected with having shared context with other humans and overall collective reduction of basic needs among time?
Is metacrisis solving the cancerous dynamics, many misalinged active inference agents with the collective's long term wellbeing by strenghtening those aligned goals and reminder of interconnectivity and relationity of sciences and worldviews through education or AI assistants? Is consumerism hijacking our attentional limbic mechanisms and how we evolved to have lots of pleasure from things that used to be very rare in the past so that we would look for them (sugar, fat, important shocking news, porn etc.) For alignment and, do we cultivate culture of compassion. For wellbeing do we strenghten mental health knowledge and reduce environmental and information polution that destroys us? Do we strenghten democracy while teaching people about the metacrisis and polycrisis so that good political representitves are selected? What are the most effective interventions to our system that will a) increase the wellbeing of human population, b) increase collective efficient mitigation and resolving of symptoms and causes of risks and crises and c) making efficient material and psychological (that complement eachother) progress leading to flourishing. And how all those factors interconnect. How to make them respect, support and check eachother instead of fighting violently. Different people speak with different fundamental languages determining their actions so if one wants to change their action one should synchronize with their objective functions. Politics is a lot about the language of power. Corporations speak the language of money. Language of values. Language of ideology? Language of morality (appealing to politician's children's future life). Language of meaningful experiences and meaning in general. Supercooperators are the golden nugget against the metacrisis. What are the best evolutionary pressures for supercooperation clusters? Supercooperatior universities? Ctraining theory of mind and shared goal states via commpassion and dialog, psychedelics, meditation, unity, opposite of polarization, nonduality, cultivate holistic planetary awareness? Could massemailing people that have the biggest causal influence in determining humanity's trajectory while synchronizing as most as possible with their language lead to efficient evolutionary pressure towards a good third attractor that isnt dystopia like Russia and chaos like Somalia? What else is needed to make strong enough good evolutionary pressure in the evolution of societal architecture such that we dont selfdestruct eachother with existencial risks and environmental destruction? How to install altruistic dynamics into governing structures that are very much governed by power and money dynamics without becoming the memeplex transmittor of the language of power of money but instead a memeplex transmittor increasing chances of global supercooperation cluster?

Quanta Magazine "calculate the Page curve, which in turn reveals that information gets out of the black hole" entaglement between two systems is also the degree of openness of the systems leading to correlations. mmmm openness of the space time information. merging in space and time. when you dont measure the space and time of a particle/system in a wavefunction the superposition is like the system's nonseparable parts internal disconnection from our sense of space and time. 2nd law of thermodynamics creating entropy creating entaglement killing space killing concetrated energy and thus information evolving in time but globally total amount of energy and information is conserved by perservation of probability with time reversal symmetry. what resists and survives in this chaos and doesnt entangle into everything and dissipates all information to everywhere is the classical world of quasistable systems. Nice sumamry of information as fundamental and observers as modellers ontology not modelling world in itself but just evolutionary useful information. about it - YouTube Von Neumann entropy - Wikipedia von neumann entropy, probably the most general form of entropy? [1812.10020] Generalized Wigner-von Neumann entropy and its typicality 🤔 or the overall evolution of concept of entropy (disorder) is fascinating. i love how shannon entropy is special case of it according to Neumann. its generalization of thermodynamic entropy into information theory. amount of hidden information in a system. apparently Neumann told Shannon to call it entropy as he didnt realize it. 😄 one way to think of it is the more possible outcomes an event has, the more Shannon entropy it has. Von Neumann entropy generalizes it to the quantum and its the heart of quantum information theory. whole wavefunction of two entagled particles has von neuman entropy 0 because the wavefunction has all the information about the system you can gather but the isolated entangled particle has von neumann entropy bigger than 0 since there's hidden information in the rest of the wavefunction, making its entropy equivalent to classical particle. in statistical mechanics i like the connection that more entropy leads to more possible configurations of the system and therefore more information is contained in it. entropy is life!

Nature of base reality and truth
https://imgur.com/a/7j10oMk
Can we even "reach" "base reality"? Is it comprehensible? Do we think about base reality "correctly"? Does he question of "base reality" even make sense"?
But I agree that scientifically all our models can be seen as useful approximations of some dynamics out there that predict and make sense of tons of empirical data with various explanatory power, is it all just our brains fitting curves like in machine learning all the way down? Let's construct the most predictive and explanatory and unifying model of reality as possible!
I trust and use the scientific method the most out of any other epistemological frames as nothing is as pragmatic for understanding (predicting and manipulating) the mind, physics and the world overall. I'm just openminded to explore all other ways of conceptualizing truth and also love getting my mind expanded by all the possibilities of looking at reality and I lvoe transcendign beyond all mental limitations and concepts into pure potentiality :D I like all philosophies of science, physics and overall approaches to epistemology and reality. :D
Possibly all those different approaches can be grounded in cognitive scientific frame of neurophenomenological classifiers assigning truth (probabilistic certainity) to statements and relationships (infomorphisms) between them?
Neural Annealing in practice
You can energize (reinforce) mental objects by directing attentional arrow to it, by it being aligned with valence gradient (aethetics, resolving basic needs), sensory data (what aligns with "reality" or imagined expectations is reinforced), surprise (prediction error adds entropic activity to fix prediction errors to tune models by finding policies to edit internal models or act on the world), you can also modify (transform) it into a more consonant symmetrical shape, you can energize it so much that its dissolves by overwhelming, you can weaken attentional resources (forces) by globalizing them (attention to background stillness, vastness, silentness, boundarylessness, centerlessness, infinityness,...) resulting in global smoothening as local topological shapes in the neural tissue through global acticity gets more coarsegrained, more smoothened, more redistributed, and you can also avoid mental objects.
Love or seeing constructedness (illusorynessness) of mental phenomena seems to be an universal dissolver of any mental object or conditioned reactive patterns of behavior canalizations. Or explicit relaxation of any contracted qualia.
Canalized Mr Meeseeks protective subagents - dissolve by showing them counterfactual proof that they dont need to be so defensive in a new environment and that they can relax.
Dissolving held psychotic (misaligned with other processes or destructive rather than helping) beliefs with showing them opposite evidence, relativizing them away.
Avoiding overly protective subagents by not getting into hostile environments or consume limbic hijacking fear inducing memeplexes on social media or news. Satisfy the objective functions and create compromises in your whole ecosystem of subagents having different priotiries, don't isolate any as then he tends to canalize protective structures hostile against others.
Depressive beliefs such as "Everyone always leaves", "People look at me like they hate me", "I am afraid I will say something stupid" are also dissolvable with counterfactual evidence. One can create a dialog between the hurt subagent and a "healer" subagent, asking about what it is, what its priorities are, how it was formed, what other beliefs or subagents it depends on
Some linguistic or abstract mental construction is seen as true if many observes agree on its validity using different epistemological strategies, beliefs present in a population can be disrupted or reinforced or novel ones created by mutating or creating a new belief that is compatible with the culture's current aethetics (superstructure framing priors that are preffered according to their consonance with the whole) and spreading it succesfully darwinianly.
Any neural operator (psychotool or a substance) that symmetrifies neurophenomenology tends to also increase energy, probably because of disintegration of energy sinks so unsinked energy flows randomly with much less attracting forces, which might lead to seeing visuals as well.
Energy sink can act as a neural classifier taking sensory data as input and outputing other thoughts or actions. Low energy depression seems to be damping energy through no learned agency. (hopelessness isnt learned, its that no agency is learned Helplessness Is Not Learned - Neurofrontiers ) Which might be seen as no sensory patters cascading into possible actions, no dopaminogentic motivation. Symmetrical representations can create global cascade of activation of neural representations from just one through more interconnected neural topology (meditation and psychedelics increase that). We can damp energy by getting into gettign stuck into some one solid mental object. One can collapse from deconstructed entropic state back into some highly specialized context to concetrate all that free computational power into one task and use it all there, its asymmetry (high overfitted specialization) can damp overall energy.
Any mental and physical activity that increases energy follows period of decreased energy, so thats a way to overall dampen energy as well. The stronger the increase, the stronger the decrease tends to be. Gradual increasing can be achieved by slow gradual increase such that neural networks adapt to a new baseline, just like progressive overload in fitness.
When it comes to shifting energy from one task to another one, one can in the global context see reason for doing that to generate motivation. We climb valence gradients realized as error reduction slopes of solving the problem better than expected, so depending on our aethtics and current problems we solve in life, we can shift our attention by lubricating those fundamental objective functions in our deepest bayesian priors, which also increases wellbeing through increased sense of meaning and motivation and reduces procrasination.
More trust, more bayesian prior, aethetics, goal synchronization, leads to more efficient belief transmission, more efficient updating of maladaptive priors. Ideal psychotherapheutic setting definitely depends on the cultural aethetics of the client - some people are raised religious, some secular, some think more in mechanistic terms, some think more in fantasy narratives and so on.
Songs are definitely also subjective to high degree as they active consonant memories through context dependant associations leading to good transformative trips.
Songs with long global consonant tones are great for global information processing. Extremely fast songs are good at local information processing. Some songs have both in parallel which is great for combined information processing.
Free energy principle is general ontology and language for information processing in physics and individual and collective sensemaking
Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023/course-syllabus-2
Can this scalefree metamodel be used as a fundamental ontology to encapsulate all scientific fields, where every thing is some kind of special case on some scale on some level of abstraction with some kind of implementation?
Are organisms nested holographic quantum reference frames, attractor in nonequilibrium thermodynamics constructing goals that form higher order goals across scales?
Instead of asking "Is this inherently good or bad?" ask "What advantages and disadvantages does this have? (in relation to making the world a better place?)"
There are so many concrete or more general equations and models used in different natural fields and subfields in different scales with different advantages and disadvantages, predictive and explanatory power and paradoxes in different contexts. Can we put them all in this metaframework to find potential for compatibility and incompatibility analysis, create merging and synthesis on a higher order of complexity, and gather the sum of total human scientific knowledge on one place in this structured manner?
Theory of every thing, At start, there is just an empty canvas full of infinite potential
On this empty canvas, you can put any set of fundamental philosophical assumptions
Those philosophical assumptions are initial structures that constrain what structures are classified as true and false
As I'm writing this, this is already initializing many philosophical assumptions, like total openmindedness fundamentalism, truth relativism and propositional information structure ontology and so on, but we have to start somewhere
To create futher constrain on the space of possible structures, I'm gonna assume that each structure in this metamodel can live (as has many implementations realtime) as a structure inside potential system inside physicalism with quantum information processing ontology
Using (quantum) free energy principle as abstraction that works tautologically for making sense of any structure, a minimal unifying model across fields, scales, contexts and so on
Any philosophical, ontological, pragmatic and so on assumption that an Active Inference agent can assert is a concrete phenotype, an evolutionary niche emerging from the evolutionary interactions of the agent's genetics (initial source code) and environment (inputs to source code's development)
Any thing, process, pattern a sensemaking agent or collective of agents can locate in its constructed spacetime is a statistical correlation between its internal and external states to reduce its uncertainity about the world to initialize uncertainity reducing internal metacognitive model and policies updates and external actions
Most predictive structures are hieachical probabilistic bayesian multiscale metagraphs with links corresponding to predicted causality
In biological agents, this uncertainity imperative can be futher granualized into maslow hiearchy of needs, reformulated as a interconnected nodes corresponding to different homeostatic subagents with goals that through collective behavior form higher order goals across scales about individual or collective uncertainity reduction
They correspond to nested holographic quantum reference frames, attractors in quantum nonequilibrium thermodynamics
Each statistical (dynamical) markov blanket corresponding to a thing has its own implementational level, such as animal, neuron, functional brain region, molecule, fundamental particle and so on
Various models or (differential) equations in various fields studying physical systems study some local very concretely implemented subset of all those global general dynamics, they're some evolutionary learned bayesian phenotype, some attractor, some markov blanket, some thing stable in (usefully constructed) space and time, or beyond spacetime in various fundamental models in physics
Quantum free energy principle tells us that for other systems for communication measurable physical classical information lives on a markov blanket boundary of a system and correponds to the internal system's dynamics, taken from the holographic principle in physics

Lets create a hypergraph of all natural and nonnatural disciplines?
Any agent's model can be understood in terms of FEP as uncertainity reducing structured learned correlations in a bayesian graph serving as approximations of its external dynamics
Making FEP a framework that can already can encompass every thing
Branches of science - Wikipedia
Outline of academic disciplines - Wikipedia
This way, all science agents emerge from FEP as evolutionary niches through (collective) cognitive science
generalized into any kind of symbolic and nonsymbolic mental frameworks
In this frame, constructing a physical theory of everything looks at what niches of uncertainity are various fields reducing and attempts to synthetize them by finding correspondences between the mathematical structures
Its fitting curves in data all way down Quanta Magazine
If one goes fully general, without introducing FEP assumptions, one can assume that the whole universe is an one structure and each field is sculping certain substructure with more global or local models and laws
Adding global constrains to this structure sculps parts of it
(aka model/reduce uncertainity about it)
Such as "only predictive models", "only mathematical models", "only quantum models", "only classical models in spacetime", "only models in physicalist ontology", "models correspond to some local realist objective structure", "models are just nonlocal relational parts of mental interface", "only models in complex adaptive systems frame", "taking in account existence of scales and emergence", "taking in account levels of analysis (are they just different parts of the system/abstractions?)"
One cn expand the whole universe assumption to any words in general to include everything philosophy
At the same time, philosophy can be understood as uncertainity reducing structures in cognitive science

I wonder if global graph of knowledge could be automatized by:
fusing all lists of fields on the internet or science journals
taking all text on the internet that comes up when searching for the field name
analyzing the statistical text/theme overlap to quantify relatedness
finding interdisciplionary fields by seeing how two concrete fields' text fuse together statistically?
finding labels for sets of fields by dimensionality reduction algorithms?
Let's construct science fields bottom up inside complex physical systems with various scales frame
Each single pattern, process, thing (having a markov blanket) is totally unique on its own and study of it can be its own totally concrete scientific field
by futher abstraction we get fields that study various phenotypes
Reductive fundamental physics studies everything existing at the smallest possible scale
By looking into emergence of patterns from one scale to another such as emergence of spacetime or biology from fundamental particle physics, we interconnect various scales and thus basically create more interdisciplionarity
Complex adaptive systems is extremely interdisciplionary, but still starts with certain assumptions
The only field that is totally global across all fields is technically a blank canvas, nothing, no information, because any information assumes constrains
Abstraction is great for putting high level less context/scale dependant patterns into language and maths
Depending on what level of abstraction one does engineering, one operates with a field that is that level of abstraction
Blank canvas includes all languages
Each language can contain many concrete structures, philosophical, scientific, laymen etc.
Language can also be seen as just informtion theoretic communication protocol between agents for model exchange
Free energy principle just seems as the most pragmatic metalanguage
All human knowledge framed inside the free energy principle
Free energy principle is general ontology and language for information processing in physics and individual and collective sensemaking
Agency
Great talk about how limited metacognitive agency over thought and preferences is implemented in the mind Conversation between Mark Solms, Chris Fields, and Mike Levin 2 - YouTube
aka the ability to decide what your next thought and preferences will be is limited by our phenotype (the set of observable characteristics or traits of an organism (in this case of our mind)) emerging from genetic and environmental influences
Technically Big five model of personality or Jung's archetypes are describing phenotypes
By being raised in specific culture also determines a phenotype in thinking and behavior
In dynamical systems language its an attractor
There also seem to be various neural correlates that determine the strength of forms of agency, such as disconnection of certain brain regions in unconctollable destructive addictive behavior.
Someone should invest heavily in brain computer interfaces enhancing the control over ourselves by strenghtening those neural networks 😃
I find this as fascinating start when it comes to decoding thoughts Semantic reconstruction of continuous language from non-invasive brain recordings | bioRxiv

Hmm here they locate what goes wrong in decreased sense of agency Neural correlates of sense of agency in motor control: A neuroimaging meta-analysis - PubMed
I would argue the development of the networks implementing healthy sense of agency needs to be fundamentally supported by training them like muscles (genetics also play a role) so there's evolutionary pressures for them to be developed. This seems to be the fuction of certain meditation practices, going out of comfort zone practices, systematic dedication to one bigger task skill, stabilizing routine skill, or delayed gratification practices 🤔
Its also interesting how stimulants or lower doses of psychedelics tend to increase agency
Compassion
Compassion is fundamental mental muscle to cultivating strong human relationships that are number one predictor of individual and collective wellbeing. We need more culture of compassion in our culture.
We take so many to us deeply important human connections for granted and when they start dissapearing we start to see their true worth.
Be grateful, compassionate, connect, love.
It fascinates me how people on the death bed tend to care much less about how much money and work they did, but that they should have strenghtened the human connections with those they love the most that might be gone already leading to strong griefing.
I love one lens on psychotheraphy, that lots of psychotherapeuts see their clients mechanistically and try to look for a mechanistic problem that needs to be solved according to predefined symbolic trees/ methodologies. This definitely has its use and should be used a lot, but fusing rationality with intuition is IMO ideal. But I would argue that to fully understand the lens of the other beings that might be deeply suffering, one should try to synchronize with them as much as possible mentally. Get as much as possible into their world by listening as deeply as possible, synchronizing breathing itself can increase sense of connection.

Something like tends to be practiced in Gestalt psychotherapheutic method for example. The deep compassion definitely has its advantages and disadvantages, as feeling the suffering of others so directly can really overwhelm one's mental state if not enough healing to get back into less suffering states is done. It also seems that in the current loneliness crisis, therapheuts tend to be the only people that create at least some human connection for some people that feel fundamentally lonely. We need more culture of compassion for people to feel more connected to eachother.

After so many deaths where nothing is really fundamental or permanent, one can locate some semipermanent mathematical patterns governing the physicalist evolution of experience
How transferrable among subjects are they? I often wonder
I would suspect the closer they are to mathematical neurophenomenological models, the more universal they tend to be for people that are often inhabiting somewhat deconstructed state
Or state that was never really constructed by pretrained evolution's softwares like the social simulations we tend to construct
The stronger the fuzzy statistical or implementational isomorphism is between two conscious agents' neurophenomenological states, the more likely they will synchronized and feel mutual human relationship interconnectedness
Some say strong human relationships is more fundamental basic need than physiological needs in Maslow hiearchy of needs
We went from social coherence having pretty stable nonequlibrium steady states in villages stabilized by local culture and rituals to internet age that is constantly penetrating any attempts at stable cultural attractors by constant information overload from everywhere, leading to inability of individuals to synchronize in this extremely technilogically interconnected and also culturally polarized world
From (pre)modernism to postmodernism
Though i love the attempts at creating stable cultural frameworks by the synthesis of all good from all concrete frameworks into a metaframework (metamodern approaches)
Psychedelics and deconstructive meditation helps a ton to get out of concrete local minima, which can lead to belief network's constant unstability, which can generate both random concrete processes battling with eachother dissonanly not unified by their intrinsic similarity or some top down cybernetic controller leading to unpleasant mental chaos, or it can lead to empty mind full of freedom and nonsymbolic free symmetrical consonant flow of isness that buddhism and taoism loves
Another attempt is taking the great amount of conflicting processes from various cultural frameworks and try to stabilize them by creating s metaframework in metamodern synthetizing integrative ways, unify rational and spiritual enlightenement, unify various scientific schools of thought with unifying various spiritual schools of thought, or creating a metatheory on top of them, creating this global stabilization of concrete belief networks' topologies interconnected by general correlations
See it all using the free energy principle fully general mathematical framework for formalizing any information processing system?
Relax
The fact that most of the time we inhabit some somewhat stable reality with somewhat stable laws is mindboggling, but without stability of our inner world simulation there wouldnt be shared language and it's harder to survive, but too much predicted stability leads to crises
Having days to have deepest rest in structurelessness by deconstructive meditation Jhana hybernation annealing psychotechnology is important for recharging and cleaning the mind, leading to more symmetrical sense of wellbeing and freedom.

[- YouTube A Stage Theory of Enlightenment by Roger Thisdell]
Is complex PTSD that shatters your stable structures in the brain followed by inner meditative work such as loving doing nothing one possible path to enlightenment?
If you want stream entry another option is to induce a complex PTSD (that can be gathered overtime by experiencing tons of terrible shattering traumatic stuff) which results in your brain in splitting in two and get dissociation like this, which can feel like becoming giant third eye general overseeing octopus god (the second stage visual is perfectly fitting it) but then you have to clean all the related traumas from memories or overall dissonance but thats the form of dark night in that case - i think this was more of my case and meditation plus psychedelics was form of healing the dark night through even more deconstruction and transformation of traumatic structures using love and enptiness which still sometimes shows up when some unhealed parts come up from subconscious when doing dissolving internal unification for example and I work with it.
I feel like phase shift of the organism's structure has to happen always by some kind of shock, let it be dissolution via (loving) doing nothing where your usual stable structures dissolve/transform from not enough stressing support or dissolution via intense shocking experience that shatters your usual stable structures and explodes them to infinity, in both cases you're more free from darwinian restrictions as your before you's evolutionary pretrained social etc. structures die and you get expansive general neural networks to construct your structures in. It seems to me without an intense evolutionary pressure for the system to shift into a different equilibrium state there will be not as much progress really made, you can hear Frank Yang tal kabout how he felt like literally (also physically) dying x times, I felt that too many times. By experiencing what you dont want the most also tends to expand the space of things in which you're not feeling resistance to the experience.
As a result you get dark night where the organism's before software evaluating what is meaningful gets shattered or you get total permanent ego (concrete self model) dissolution/death full of disconnections or some other kind of traumatic structures from which organism dissociated from, or instead you get kundalini awakening ejaculating into the universe kind of stuff for some time as a result of releasing tons of repressed emotions/concepts/wants/goals/need for freedom from "cage" of your before stable structures that you didnt like and tried to escape from them happens.
I often wonder how many meditators by default live in very unpleasant state and thats why they wanna dissociate from it and many succeed and overall result in even higher wellbeing (Shinzen Young having troubles with brownies, Frank Yang having manic BPD, all was shattered into noself tranquil flow state) when compared to normies that live in semipleasant state all the time feeling connected to the collective (via having community friend group with culture or accepting system's ideology/philosophy without constant desynchronization) without all the trauma or intense experiences (tho one can still argue about their baseline state, and also there is enormous diversity, i mean normies that report high degree of wellbeing being functioning in our social simulations) which may all be to first approximation reducible to the symmetry theory of valence applied to implementational harmonics/neural field theory or applied to bayesian belief network topology (with self, identities, others, environment, universe, assumptions, abstract concepts, everything else and their interconnectedness lives), where it would be constructed isolated rigid overfitted person having it worse than happy normies having it worse than really desontructed expansive noself state in permanent nondual flow where you get general playground for anything including easily entereing Jhanic structureless void beyond evolutionary pretrained software with efficient stress dissipation and metacognition over how your brain generates your thoughts, adaptive identities, emotions and overall models and experience, but here there might be a disadvantage of needed more metabolic/conscious energy to create local concrete nongeneral structures, and even there there might be giant diversity of baseline happiness depending on what kind of dissonance/asymmetry/disconnection generators structures might still be lurking in the conscious or subconscious. Or one form of dissociation can give you the ability to create governing structure turning off and on the various suffering generators.

Void, the unknown
When we disintegrate to the void, we see the deepest knowns in the unknown, we see in it the deepest most fundamental bayesian priors that construct our existence, our personality, our life narrative, our reality, such as birth, our initial interactions with the environment, our initial experiences with others, initial cultural, philosophical, spiritual, religious, ideological mental frameworks, initial paradigms of thought, ontologies, the best experiences of cosmic unity, psychological death, trauma, because unknowness is pure stochastic flow of information in the nervous system that doesn't get caught by any local classifiers so it gets caught by the widest deepest metapatterns stored in the nervous system that we then project onto the fundamental mysterious unknowness in us or the world or both or something third, that we project onto reality, onto existence. We can fear the unknown, see it in death, we can hate it, we can love it, see it in pure loving awareness, we can be neutral towards it. Those deepest bayesian priors are dynamical and be strenghtened, weakened aka fluidified, or altered aka transformed. - YouTube OSF Same logic can be used for any collective intelligences that can be seen as collectively modelling the world through cultural mental frameworks by the free energy principle, such as societies. - YouTube We see us in the outside, we see outside in us, its computationally effective model compression.

===Models of brain===
How is nervous system modelled? Neurons can be modelled using the Hodgkin and Huxley formalism https://physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1113/JP282756 https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(15)01191-5 with NMDA receptors giving neurons ability to to compute nonlinearly separable XOR functions giving them vast nonlinear computational properies. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0896627321005018 - YouTube They can be seen as as reinforcement learning agents. They communicate through electromagnetic biochemical signals through neurotransmitters, calcium, sodium, potassium ions, or selforganize by electric fields created by the cells. Ephaptic coupling - Wikipedia They learn to respond to messages from their environment as a reinforcement learning agent by modelling it the input in time and storing and exchanging templates probably in soma's RNA that is manipulated using a turning machine. - YouTube
The communication of those connectome neuronal populations can be modelled by neural oscillations https://www.cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896-6273%2823%2900214-3, forming harmonic wave modes. Human brain networks function in connectome-specific harmonic waves | Nature Communications Those neural oscillation dynamics form a resonance network of neuronal populations. Healing Trauma With Neural Annealing
Functionally, the neuronal communication dynamics can be represented by a hiearchical markov blankets network constructing a generative model corresponding to encoding tons of correlations from tons modalities in sensory data (senses, language, abstract concepts, space, time, all other qualia) with our environment, correlations between the organism’s inside states and outside states. - YouTube

===Neurodiscomfort===
Nearly all psychiatric conditions may be characterized by some level of “oscillopathy” or “rhythmopathy.” https://www.cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896-6273%2823%2900214-3 Symmetry theory of valence postulates that the more consonance, symmetry, in the nervous system, the more parts of the experience are experienced as having positive valence. The Symmetry Theory of Valence 2020 Overview In general in the generative model, states high in wellbeing are experienced as flow states, as accurate predictions about the world in relation to learned priors, this corresponds to the consonant coordinated symmetrical flow of communication of population of neurons. Human values correspond to the flow state, when we feel in homeostasis, a sense of flourishing in some sequence of actions, let it be deep work, brainstorming, playing an instrument, vulnerable environment. The aethetics, the felt shape of the experience, or hallucinations on psychedelics, will tend to be less spiky, more smooth, more symmetrical. Any default metastable dissonance in the resonance network of the nervous system is experienced as something being wrong, as sense of spikiness, sense of blockages, disallowing sense of fullfillment, which disallow of flow of positive predictions. - YouTube Failure modes realized as fitting the predictive bayesian model to the sensory data incorrectly or by stable dissonant bayesian prior predictions getting reinforced by themselves or by the sensory data are big part of psychiatric conditions, such as learned prior of hopelesness in depression. - YouTube - YouTube
===Neurocomfort===
Experiences highest in wellbeing, such as experiencing void, indra's net, oneness, unity are probably global crosscale synchrony, global consonance, where most of the nevous system is firing in this synchronized fashion, in cooperative unity. Psychedelics and the Free Energy Principle: From REBUS to Indra's Net - YouTube - YouTube In those states, the generative model is almost fully underfitted, having zero information. On the level of neuronal dynamics, you get almost no complex nonlinearities constructing concrete conceptual model contractions in the experience, which is minimizing stress of the resonance network.
Nondual philosophy, equaminity, transcendental, deconstructive, love and kindness meditation practice, such as "allowing, acceptance, dropping intentions, doing nothing, not doing, not meditating, not watching, transcending everything" Do Nothing Meditation - Deconstructing Yourself or 5-MeO-DMT are psychoneurotechnologies dissolving such categorifying judging conceptual nonlinearities in neural dynamics, which results in the easy symmetrical flow of information aka energy aka bioelectricity aka cooperative neuronal communication. Thanks to the symmetry that is minimizing felt rigidity of beliefs, felt density, thinkness, - YouTube felt dissonant stress, of experience, it feels so effortless, easy, full of relief and freedom.

Hurt parts create asymmetries, internal family systems can heal them.
Not feeling connected to oneself too, introspecting, understanding oneself, mindfullness can heal that.
Not feeling connected to others too, love and kindness can heal that.
Not feeling connected to the environment too, loving nature or love and kindness and experiencing spacious awareness via meditation or psychedelics can help with that.

Disacceleration Accelerationism!
Symmetry is a general term for less structure, less information, less difference, less dualities, less complexity, more similarity, easier flow similarity or exact correspondence between different things. Doesn't change (is invariant) under change of conditions (under transformation).
Sufferlessness is structurelessness.
Relaxxing maxxing.
Dropping, transcending everything, personality, intentions, doing, meditating, watching, awareness, dualities, void, being, dissolve all concepts, grounds, struture, transcending transcendence itself.
For example "everything is made of awareness" is a global symmetry in mental representations.
===Mathematical grasp===
Let spacestate of consciousness (neurophenomenology) be a latent space corresponding to a space of possible configurations of a hypergraph of causal bayesian beliefs with nodes corresponding to hiearchical Markov blankets that represent enabled functional correlations of the internal states with the external states of the organism edges corresponding to communication or causality or reinforcement from belief A to belief B where each Markov blanket can be seen as soliton in a field of consciousness, stable regularity across spacetime.
Let Markov blanket on functional level correspond to soliton in electromagnetic chemical implementational level, coupled oscillators. Markov blanket is any given qualia. Getting reinforced by its surrounding qualia, being bound in one space.
Let negatively valenced Markov blankets be parts with spiky shape more easily causing dissonance and harder harmony and sense of interconnectedness (resulting in sense of meaning) with the collective thanks to more asymmetries in geometrical belief structure, creating more density, less information flow, in dynamics.
Let psychotic subagents be a markov blanket with different goals than the collective.
Let hurt subagent be a markov blanket with belief structure such that there has been failure in achieving a goal or loss of important dependent surrounding Markov blanket for Its goals (usually some basic needs are not met, can relate to dissonance in social graph).
Let the most felt meaningful statespace of consciousness be dissolution of all individual Markov blankets resulting in one single unified top down process encoding the felt source of all there is the most directly.
Let groundless ground be a metastable in time state with unconditional lubricating symmetrifying top down Markov blanket being stable by bayesian reinforcement from sense of unity constantly giving sense of freedom to all local Markov blankets (dereifying, emptiness) giving it sense of it being a process.
Meditation is about asymmetry, spikiness, disconectedness, nonvalence (resisting) reduction.
Let do nothing, let go of grasping, be a psychotechnology corresponding to a neural operator that globally reduces suffering by reducing asymmetries in all local Markov blanket soliton mental representations leading to less dissonant interaction with the rest.
Let love and kindness be a a special case of that in the social graph, leading to feeling more positive valence, interconnected with others. Fabric softener of reality. Equaminity too with reducing stress by increasing stress dissipation ability of the network. Both are asymmetry reduction techniques.
It can be generalized to cultivating love for all that is, leading to higher valence and consonance between the self model, models of others and of the global model in which all local models are hieachically embedded.
Every mind oscillates between attractors from a set of attracting states with metastable causal bayesian hypergraph.
Everything that is is just cluster of stable soliton bayesian Markov blanket beliefs that are reinforced by themselves or by other mental constructions or patterns in sensory data, regularities in phenomenal and physical spacetime.
Let meaning of all be a mental representation with highest valence, a topdown process attractor attracting and generating everything else, giving raise to and sense of reason behind all behavior and giving sense valuableness to different activities and mental representations, a force giving sense of direction in life, motivational field, feeder of energy and nurishment to everything else.
Goals as counterfactual simulations that result in higher local or global valence of internal representations.
"Evil" tag of mental representations emerging from desire to be happy under dissonant conditions and labeling that thing as direct causal mode generating dissonance in both phenomenology and physical world.
Internal Family Systems is psychotechnology activating and healing, aligning hurt subagents.
Mindfulness is giving valence->meaning to raw sensory data.
Statistical hulls keep things stable. Going to the Felt "core" penetrates this statistical hull.
A lot of theraphy is based on using empathy as ways to open that coping statistical hull and dissolve/transform that dissonant belief, such as internal family systems, and selfimprovement Is about implementing stable positive ones that are selfreinforcing enough by external evidence or evidence from other mental representations, such as healthy lifestyle frameworks.
Deconstrtive meditation is also a lot about dissolving the statistical hulls of clusters of bayesian beliefs that can be analyzed as particle waves.
Spaciousness meditation redistributes weights given to bayesian beliefs more globally by noticing thinness and openness of body and all sensations, less local focus.
Transcending darwinian programs such as need for social status and reinforced concrete identity or conditioned happiness realized as attachment to material objects or too much of sexual urges is useful for this weight globalization leading to destressification, dissolving preinstalled affective matrix.
That can be weakened by giving it less weight but not denying it, that will give it more weight as that's the opposite of equaminity.
Equaminity as ability to let things be in the background without interference, without friction.
Concetration as the ability to keep concetrated on a concetration object and noticing that one got caught up in a tangles cluster of sensations and clarity as the ability to untagle this knot and free it by expanding it to spaciousness. Aka delocaliting weights, increasing stress dissipation of the field of consciousness.
A possibility that the Markov blanket soliton belief in phenomenology might be statistically functional property of the neural dynamics but can be implemented as distributed activity? There also may be bayesian beliefs in neuronal dynamics not reflected in phenomenology as its conditional probability distributions, and vice versa.

Anxiety, addictions (compulsive (destructive) behavior misaligned with overall goals), trapping, happens when some cluster of beliefs about sensory data or other beliefs is selfreinforcing itself in a feedback loop that is signaling uncertainity ("I'm anxious therefore im not relaxed therefore I'm anxious..."), resisted, denied, repressed, generating fear from too much precision weighting on dissonant hypothesized simulation of being exposed to certain stimuli. Depression is belief of helplessness from giving up from repeated failure of reducing uncertainity.[Karl Friston: Schizophrenia, Autism, and the Free Energy Principle - YouTube Karl Friston: Schizophrenia, Autism, and the Free Energy Principle]

Is nonalive physics fundamental? Or consciousness? Or combination of those? Or something third? Or all of them?
Scienctifically I think there is no empirical evidence for being fundamentalist for both dead materialism and alive panpsychism assumptions, you cannot test for subjective experience (yet) (or you can but it hasnt been conducted - YouTube). I see it as an arbitrary philosophical assumption. On the other hand, seeing everything as mind is extremely pleasant and raises wellbeing through unifying oneness!
Pragmatically, I like to oscillate between markov blanket monism - YouTube classic physicalism (consciousness is emergent from physics/certain configuration of physics), panpsychist physicalism (physics is consciousness dynamics), panpsychist idealism (consciousness is fundamental and physics is interface), transcendental neutral monism (what is fundamental is something not connected to physics or consciousness, those are two lenses on something else, they're made of this third thing), superposition of all views (everyone is true about the same thing from a different lens), mysterianism (we have no idea what we are talking about and its disconnected from what actually is even if anything is even if issness itself makes some sense in some reality what idk wtf is going on), or no views at the same time (time for freedom)

====Happiness, wellbeing====
=====Technical=====
'''Synthesis'''
Equaminity as a cultivatable skill of learning to not interfere with what is by acceptance seems to be a special case of symmetrification and symmetrifications in general seem to cultivate wellbeing if they make long lasting symmetrifying changes. Some symmetrifications such as fast sugar come at the cost of possible overall desymmetrification when taken in a bigger picture using neurobiology and what it affects in time, considering its consequences. Other symmetrifications that actually cultivate stable kinds of symmetrifications may be love and kindness, any kinds of dissolutions (sense of truths, center, space, time, direction - stage theory of enlightenment), finding some concrete direction, simplified good enough for nonscientific purpose model of the world, or some kind of concrete meaning in life. (tho here i think the best kind of symmetrification is to not have any kind of symbolic meaning as not clinging to concrete mental constructions and constructing conditioned happiness seem to an even bigger symmetrification) Psychedelics can also dissolve the rigid self model but the organism as a defence mechanism might create even more rigid giant self model that generates even more suffering through its density, but also not.
My most efficient annealing techniques that I combine with eachother. Each of them raise the energy parameter of experience and tend to dissolve local dualistic structures in favor of more global interconnected structure that manifest as high level connections insights and overall sense of less blocked experience, and also satisfies other kinds of basic needs:
Loving do nothing deconstructive meditation
Walking and running in nature
Reading/Listening to big picture thinking
Hot shower/bath
Talking about the depths of my mind with myself or with others or by writing
Deep slow meditative mindful tantric interaction with other people
Psychedelics, shrooms, LSD or 5-MeO-DMT - Shrooms is more dissolving but still full of interesting loving complexity, LSD focuses on concrete task more such as learning, 5-MeO-DMT just dissolves everything beyond concepts and tasks

Junk food is the first case.
Jhanas are the second case. (it goes even beyond long termness or depthness as time and space gets deconstructed)
Fast euphoria is high frequency metronome consonance, in stimulants or joyful concetration meditation, excitement, convergent attention, possibly dopamine, possibly first Jhanas, can be followed by slow dyphoria or not
Slow euphoria is slow frequency consonance in opioids or relaxing meditation, possibly second jhana, can be followed by fast dyphoria or not
Spiritual/philosophical/selforganized criticality euphoria is fractal consonance/dissonance, crosscale coupling, high frequency temporal or spacily things couple with slow frequency ones (psychedelics, meeting god, oneness, being aligned with meaning), possibly higher Jhanas territory, can have globally distributed paralel attention points[Wireheading Done Right: Stay Positive Without Going Insane | Qualia Computing Wireheading Done Right: Stay Positive Without Going Insane, Andrés Gómez-Emilsson, 2016]
End level jhanas and 5-MeO-DMT generates perfect alignment, continuous symmetry across scales and space in neuronal dynamics, it's the hedonium molecule.
Psychedelics multiply the amount of consciousness, dissociatives remove it.
Positive psychological valence can be seen attraction towards that experience, how at home we feel when experiencing the experience. How it makes sense in the higher context. how fullfilled our desires are. Source of internal peace. Symmetrical dynamics.
Overall sense of wellbeing - not a chemical but the stable configuration/topology of the neural networks, its resonant modes, its resting state default amount of consonance and symmetry - your default mode of information processing.
There are happiness genes.
Strong meaningful relationships with other humans and collective activity towards better world give happiness. Basic needs in general.
Before and after: learning to relax, turning off all software, destabilizing destructive patterns in thought and behavior, learning to getting unstuck from maladaptive mind states, learning to direct my hyperfocus energy productively to do what I care about, creating meaningful human connections connected to behaviors where I feel flourishing in, cultivating purpose to help everyone but taking it lightly as fun play and not forgetting selfcare in relation to rest, basic needs, selfactualization etc. too but also help others with all of this,...
====Self, ego====
=====Laymen=====
The ego, the self, identity is usually considered as the thing we answer when someone asks us: "Who are you?" "What are you?" "What do you do?" "What is your personality?" "What are your traits?"
=====Technical=====
Ego can in general be seen as through time metastable hieachical predictive structure, some cluster of linguistic or abstract bayesian beliefs with the predicted property of not being dissolvable in any circumstances, sometimes excluding death. Emergent property of nonlinear interacting parts. I predict myself therefore I am.
Local ego is structure embedded inside global ego, where global ego is the whole field of awareness and local ego the animal self's narrative, I predict being therefore there is existence.
Some people call the local ego soul, they predict its eternal. Some people call the globl ego god consciousness. It can be predicted as infinite awareness beyond physical realm. Part of "self", "outside world", "beyond both" is an arbitrary tag we put to qualia. It can be seen as structures in the self, world, and outside of those (abstract space) models in our generative model embedded in our cortical hiearchy.
====Flow state====
Symmetrical consonant smooth cooperative neurophenomenology.
====Values====
Values correspond to processes[- YouTube Rebuilding Society on Meaning's data science research mapping out the statespace of human values, Joe Edelman, 2022] , interaction of the nervous system with the environment or other nervous systems where nervous system flourishes - is in a flow state, an evolutionary structural niche predisposed by genetics and learned on its own or culturally, clusters of genes increase a probability that the nervous system will learn to flourish in certain set of processes.
====Love====
=====Laymen=====
Love is the existencial stance with reality, way of commiting yourself to a partiular connection in the outer or inner world, or to any thought, concept, process in general.[The Last Campfire: Highlights (our final film!) - YouTube Daniel Schmachtenberger and John Veraveke discussing the meaning and meta crisis and John Veraveke giving definition of love, 2022] Love is a trainable skill through love and kindness meditation for example! It's a muscle of the brain!
3 types of love: very instinctive animal activities like body connection through cuddling, then feeling of belonging in one's social environment through deep meaningful human social connections, and a transcendental unconditional love for all beyond every concepts that the mind can dream up but also includes them all
=====Technical=====
To any mental model in general, emerging from clarity of perception, symmetrical communication between mental models, synchrony of neural populations, when we "love" a mental model, our self model starts to form connections with it, giving rise to higher valence, more symmetrical dynamics in relation to it, so if we love the world, the self model interconnects with the world model and we feel oneness as those models synchronize together in harmony.[Neural Annealing: Toward a Neural Theory of Everything – Opentheory.net The Neuroscience of Meditation: Four Models, Love, Michael Edward Johnson, 2018] I will create a neurosurgery clinic that will be uninstalling loneliness by neurosurgerally interconnecting your self model neural populations with your social graph neural populations by a mental model/generator/stimulator/pump/machine/implant in the brain constantly shooting heroic dose of neverending love and kindness.
====Meaning====
=====Laymen=====
Meaning is the sense of interconnectedness with us, others and the world and overall everything.
=====Technical=====
Meaning and love of x as the degree of connectedness with it and the self model, if self model is deconstructed then between it and anything else that is metastable
We see meaning in what we learn to love. We can get stuck and love just a narrow set of mental representations or activities which can turn into addiction, it might be the only thing that brings us positive valence.[- YouTube The Tyranny of the Intentional Object: Universal Addictions, Meaning Abuse, and Denied Self-Insights, Andrés Gómez Emilsson, 2021] That halts the ability to love and see meaning and enjoyment in every single moment in life.
====Generalized meaning of life====
We are attempting to find what is in us out there. We are selfactualizing, selfevidencing. Trying to align what we predict as perfect homeostatic conditions about us and the world with what we measure by changing environment through changing our inner models or by changing our environment thorugh actions. Trying reduce uncertainity about our conditions for hardwired basic needs and culturally learned objective functions, of our hiearchical graph of subagents. Trying to create synchrony between the self model and world model. Reducing uncertainity/dissonance -> increasing relaxation, destressification -> symmetrification. Flow state might be seen as stress source that is unstressing everything else in experience, even that stress can be dissolved on meditation and psychedelics. Good predictor and regulator of a system must be a model of that system.
====Agency====
We feel like we have agency when parts of the self model's processes that we identify with are experiencing a flowstate, causal self top down processes predicting what happens by their influence is same as what is measured, dopamine and noradrenaline seem to induce those.
====Emotions====
Emotions or ontologies, bayesian priors in general, are like Global Giant Waves, Giant forces, when it comes to thought and behavior selection, probably imolemented as global information processing by global synchronization of neural populations
====Nofap?==== I prefer rarefap/raresex as alternative for it not loosing magic. Doing it rarely to supercharge sexual experience though enhanced intensity, drive, spirituality, love, magic, thirst for life, creativity and so on, minimizing disadvanategs and maximizing advantages, and less in high doses narrowing addiction means more sense of global meaning which used to be a problem to me, not bombarding the reward circuitry, letting it recharge, but not totally abstaining from it. Timing (potent or hyperpotent) reward sensory stimuli (porn, high sugar/fat/E621 food, yummy stuff on social media,...) induced endorphin/endocannaboid/opioid/etc. releases to not build too much tolerance but also not doing anything at all leading to for longer time unused resource of them that doesnt increase in size anymore by more recharging, maximizing total amount of euphoria qualia and overall wellbeing qualia, or similarly with psychedelics I believe there is optimal threshold where the total sum of euphoria from such rewarding activities is maximized by choosing some perfect intervals between them. (essencially computing integral) (that is dynamical and individual) My dynamics are probably unique because of my extreme hypersensitivity to all stimuli. There's only finite amount of energy (computational power) and reward circuitry reinforcement loops, tolerance and so on. But those circuits can when used wisely generate very pleasureful or deeply meaningful experiences. And it can be used to reinforce certain activities by seeing it as a reward after completing some bigger task, or the reward must be not known because then it stops being a big reward, so ideally when the intervals between are random, which generates this kind of motivation to fullfill those tasks. (among many other types of motivations such as nonsexual social connection) Too many rewards without doing any tasks can lead to loss of motivation, agency, drive, meaning and so on. But fapping/sex can also reduce stress, strain, pain, increasing sleep quality, help find oneselfes sexually. You can also use dopamine as anticipating reward motivation molecule in hornyness (and increasing it via fapping) as a kind of free stimulant. Also I would argue there's a big difference between just not so meaningfully fapping and a whole process of sexual intercourse with foreplay, deep tantric interconnecting, cuddling, slow sex, (instinct driven) fast sex, postcuddles, sleep, that's very deeply healing interconnecting vulnerability building thing! As much rhythmic entrainment as possible. Or you can say that pleasant states of consciousness not related to one's direct transcendental meaning are not worth it and you want all the training resources to be allocated to that higher order meaning, also an option. - YouTube
====Fear====
Panicking subagents' error signals propagating rhtough the nervous system.
====Conflicts====
Conflicts are the result of (overly) confident mutually asymmetric beliefs creating friction by selfevidencing attempts interaction increasing tension leading to blow up
====Neurodiscomfort and neurodivergences====
A pattern in thinking is a disorder if it disallows the individual to feel happiness and achieve his values and goals in which he sees meaning.
Psychopathologies Are characterized by oscillopathy, by isolation of parts, by beliefs not modelling sensory data accurately, by stuckness in dissonant metastable attractors in nervous system configurations.
=====PTSD, trauma=====
PTSD, repressed trauma is isolated dissonant subagents, cluster of bayesian beliefs, population of neurons, with very strong statistical hull, sending one directional signal of the belief of something being wrong, being hurt, generating anxiety or depression, in the background to the other processes trying to mind their own business, usually easily triggerable but hard to transform their structure, but its possible with overtime counterfactual data.
=====Depression=====
Depression is learned, formed by memories, stable helplessness/hopelesness prior from repeated failures in reducing uncertainity and solving basic needs.[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149763422003621 Oversampled and undersolved: Depressive rumination from an active inference perspective, Max Berg et al., 2022]
High energy depression is rigid stuckness in dissonant negative valence metastable emotional prior. Nervous system prostesting, fighting with force.[Neural Annealing: Toward a Neural Theory of Everything – Opentheory.net Depression in Neural Annealing: Toward a Neural Theory of Everything, Michael Edward Johnson, 2019]
Low energy depression as stuckness in local minima not supporting global neural activity by asymmetrical topology that doesn't allow efficient flexible information propagation. Nervous system giving up.
=====Autism=====
Aspergers is desynchronization with others, have too much prediction error on raw sensory data - YouTube, usually too much canalization by bigger prefortal cortex https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/1104609, global desynchronization can lead to lesser sense of self Do Autistic People Have a Self? (I Don't Think So) - YouTube and weaker emotions seeming like a robot (rationalists/EA) - YouTube
====Schizo=====
Schizotypy is too much precision on topdown priors - YouTube
====ADHD====
Attentional system directing eveywhere, higher default energy parameter
===Substances===
====Psychedelics====
Psychedelics are stochastic activity in the neural networks and existing energy sinks that evolutionary survive get projected into the inner world simulation, and those dynamics are controllable by self model's causal processes.[- YouTube Good Vibes: The Harmonics of Psychedelics & Energetic Healing, Andrés Gómez Emilsson, 2023]

===Psychotheraphy===
====Cognitive behavioral theraphy====
Cognitive behavior theraphy teaches to create less maladaptive conditions to dissonant emotions and canalizes better overall habits.
====Internal family systems====
Internal Family Systems is Locating your subagents, having dialog with them, making compromises between priorities, healing them with love. The Internal Family Systems Model Outline | IFS Institute
====Mindfullness====
====Acceptance theraphy====
Acceptance theraphy dissolves dissonant assumptions made of a clusters of internally consistent stable selfreinforcing bayesian beliefs with for example the structure "i am anxious therefore I suffer" by dissolving "suffering" part and rest follows through interdependence.[Karl Friston on the Free Energy Principle, Psychology, and Psychotherapy (Painting Onions, Ep. 001) - YouTube Karl Friston on the Free Energy Principle, Psychology, Psychotherapy, Acceptance theraphy, 2022] This overall dissolution of nonlinearities overall symmetrifies, smoothens the neurophenomenological topology resulting in less blocked flowstate.
Many priors are interconnected and codependent, so when you transform or dissolve one, many others can follow. Present counterfactuals in vulnerable memory reconsolidation phase where statistical hull is weakened through dialog activation to transform it effectively. Beta blockers increase vulnerability. MDMA adds additional love.
====Psychedelics assisted psychotheraphy====
To heal a person in substance assisted psychotheraphy, you have to install a positive valence belief that is compatible with his existing framework/aethetics that doesn't spiral him into failure modes that is a cluster of bayesian beliefs reinforced by sensory data, or selfreinforced tautologically, or reinforced by other beliefs, through for example belief transforming internal family systems, and to install it you can synchronizace with the person by minimizing friction by embodying his mental framework. My favorite prior is love and gratitude for all that is!

Do nothing. Let whatever happens happen. As soon as you're aware of an intention to control your attention, drop that intention. Don't monitor for intentions.

[[File:EpistemicAgent.jpg|500px|Alt text]]
[[File:Freedom3.jpg|500px|Alt text]]
[[File:Lattice.jpg|500px|Alt text]]
Dark nights of the soul seem the be the result of disintegration of the psyche before it gets unified with more transcendental nonconceptuality, oneness, love and so on. When the self center hub dissolves, but there is no ocean efficient at stress dissipation of sensations to be effortlessly floating in. So you end up with dense ground with some processes instead. With much less flow of neural activity, its like you literally died, being a rigid disconnected void. Being a rigid metal ground with nothing really happening, or some things happening in their own place, but lonely, depressive or anxious, full of error signals. When the density gets dissolved into fluidity and things just weee by themself and effortless joyous activity happens lightly in this depth, you enter the state of free flowing ocean without effort. Neural annealing activities, interconnecting constructive meditation of love, oneness, beauty, wholeness, mandala, kindness to the rescue!

===psychology (nostalgia, intelligence)===
====Nostalgia====
Nostalgia can be seen as an inverse of trauma, consance adding to past memories where nervous system thought you flourished, so that you start to idealize the memories blindly seeing it as better than it actually was it might be evolutionary useful in the sense that it makes you more stick to behaviors that benefited you in relation to those that didnt benefit you, but it has its failure modes, you can start being nostalgic about things that actually harmed you. It might be emergent from the fact that the longer untouched memories are in the brain, the less full of information they tend to be as the structure disintegrates to entropy overtime when one doesnt remind himself often of them to strenghten the connections, which results in the phenomenology of "Good old simple times..."
====Intelligence====

Dreams are stochastic activity in the neural networks and existing energy sinks that evolutionary survive get projected into the experience. In lucid dreams, self model's causal processes are reconnected. They evolutionary serve the purpose of generalizing our mental representations, such that we don't overfit in everday tasks.[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666389921000647 The overfitted brain: Dreams evolved to assist generalization, Erik Hoel, 2021]
====Chakras====
Chakras may be selforganized attractor topological energy sinks in the nervous system where one feels it, or they may be mapping of states of dynamics of brain centers to the body map representation, they may fascilitate efficient recruiting of certain neural populations for certain tasks, cultivating symmetrification of communication.
====Sex====
Sex can be so very therapeutic, I feel like there are two types of very intense sex: becoming a lustful instinctive animal or connecting deeply through relaxation (long foreplay, slow cuddling, a little light, candle, relaxing music, massage... warm shower/bath/hot tub)... in both cases, thinking is muted, one is in the present, there is mutual union with the universe

====Studying====
I study in a way that I find a group or person who's the best in the field and look at his text or lecture summarizing the field and then dig into the details while having context. I myself also maximize learning stuff related to wellbeing from all possible perspectives which isnt everyone's case. This is problem with lots of current schools. Kids report not knowing what the stuff they are learning is for. They miss context. It can be how its used in everyday life, future work, science of progress and wellbeing, sustainibility, unifying people and so on. Making money effectively can also be a goal but taking to the extreme kills collective wellbeing and coordinated existencial risks solving. No wonder they are unmotivated to learn it and interpret it as useless noise. Another factor is that school decouples learning from fun. Fun is a oelasure category our mind constructs to make play bereable and play is used to produce training data. If we look at how we learn in neuroscience, knowledge motly gets stuck in our mind if we evaluate it as relevant in our context for our goals that can be reduced to basic needs, we build a coherent unified model of the world where everything wants to relate to eachother in some way. Valence (internal and external attraction) crisis is killing this. That's why adaptive dynamical systems theory is the most effective metalearning language if one has a goal of maximizing predictive transdisciplinary scientific knowledge. Some people also have more individual or more collective goals. Modern society is too individualistic which connects to the meaning crisis and so on. I would also add training dialog by steelmanning deep goals and values of the motivated wants skill to education more.
====Is there life after death? Is there rebirth?====
Ontologically: Agnostic/fluid between all possibilities/reality goes beyond human concepts (I have that with any question)
Pragmatically in science: Materialistic/Nonpanpsychist/Spacetimefundamentalism/Closed or empty individualism: Probably not empirically provable in our lifetime. Maybe? Nobody actually knows. Idealistic/Panpsychist/Physicalist/Realityisbeyondspacetime/Open individualism: It makes different sense in a a different lens where space and linear time and distinctions are evolutionary useful illusions in the interface with reality.
Pragmatically in experience: Belief in rebirth or eternal life is useful mental construct narrarive to surpress the fear from the unknown of death. I prefer to live in the love with the unknown, that's how I see groundless ground. No conceptual guarding grounding fabrications! Do some death sangha!
====Imagining utopia====
Soon when we solve and transcend loneliness and suffering we will look at our ancestors from our transhumanist neobuddhist AGI global hyperorganism utopia where we are all utterly connected in the void beyond space and time and laugh about how we permanently transcended evolution's tendency to implement "suffering and making distinctions in experience between us in the open individualist field of conscious physics" local minimas while swimming in the blissful moment forever while mitigating destabilizing factors and existencial risks if those arent solved.

Ethics
Just Look At The Thing! – How The Science of Consciousness Informs Ethics — EA Forum Bots
The Symmetry Theory of Valence 2020 Overview
What are your ethics?
Effective buddhahood of internal and external compassion: evaluating beliefs and actions according to calculating an integral of total psychological valence and sustainability of consciousness among time and space
i call my ethics approximate practical utilitariasm such that edge cases and unrealistic scenarios that wouldnt be compatible with the current system that can be mathematically optimal are taken out (plus taking in account the limiting power of the models)
for example if you assume negative utilitarism and some buddhist notions that all concrete life is suffering then the optimal utilitarian move is to get rid of all concrete life to prevent any futher suffering lol
and if suffering is futher generalized by asymmetries in panpsychist framework then the optimal utilitarian move is to theoretically convert the whole universe into zero structure absolutely symmetrical state
more generally if we mathematize psychological valence, it seems that where the line saying this is neutral valence, between positive and negative valence, where its set seems to be arbitrary
if we assume different buddhistic notions (or other framework's notions) where positive valence exists too, then its about maximizing that utility, though in the panpsychist symmetry formalism its again creating as much symmetries in physics as possible
5-MeO-DMT trips or Jhanas that are meditative states are with almost no structure, with the least amount of symmetry breaking in experience, which seems to be measured in the brain as well to a first approximation, and I also dont know any other states of consciousness that feel as good as those assuming the utility we maximize is psychological valence under those formalisms
though pragmatically we need to take in account the whole societal system's all sort of natural laws, game theoretic survivability, ressilience, stability, progression out of bad local minimas and so on
Multiple people in one brain
it can be modelled as there doesnt have to be single governing unifying top down process but multiple of them living in that single brain, or in the language of markov blankets it would be two interacting global markov blankets with their implementation being dependant on what model of the brain one chooses OSF
or more generally, one can also use various predicted solutions to the binding problem out there (how you get unified experience from "distrinct" brain processes, what bounds an experience) and say that this is what breaks down in brains with multiple people living in it Binding problem - Wikipedia Holonomic brain theory - Wikipedia#Deep_and_surface_structure_of_memory Quantum - Wikipedia_mind#David_Pearceele Frontiers | Don’t forget the boundary problem! How EM field topology can address the overlooked cousin to the binding problem for consciousness
plus its also true that there are various schools of thought that assume binding problem doesnt exist because they use completely different assumptions in math modelling or in ontology (instead of physicalism using idealism for example :D) or assuming that all those solutions will have problems with really figuring out "true causality" or that its not graspable by mathematical modelling
Usefulness of models
Models are trying to find the most optimal ecosystem of bayesian priors all the way down 😄
different evolutionary niches in our sensemaking that are result of many evolutionary influences Epistemic Communities under Active Inference - PubMed
in the uncertainity reduction paradigm, i converged onto model's usefullness being gathered from its predictivity, explanatory power, degree of universality, compressive power, how good it feels, in general how pragmatic for achieving goals (objective functions) it is for the individual or the collective (reducible to basic needs with lots of archetypes of selfactualization?) (cultural or spiritual frameworks are here on the collective scale)
and those parameters are different for different usecases - science wants predictivity at the cost of everything else for example, and sometimes we tend to fail there (for example sabine hossenfelder being angry at physics community following mathematical beauty too much in particle physics) this is why i love raw bayesianism in science PaperStream #008.0 ~ An Active Inference Ontology for Decentralized Science (AEOS) - YouTube
plus i find it interesting how some models attempt to predict future but they end up forming future instead, descriptive vs prescriptive, lots of that is in sociology for example, and it can be in psychology as well in the form of psychotechnologies
all models as useful abstractions, trying to grasp whats happening internally, conscious and subconscious processes
[2302.06403] Sources of Richness and Ineffability for Phenomenally Conscious States - YouTube "Sources of Richness and Ineffability for Phenomenally Conscious States" - as in the paper, we cannot fully grasp our experience
Science communication
Science communication of physics to people that know almost no math is pretty hard, one has to use imagery and stories and analogies that somewhat slightly bring closer to or approximate it. Many argue if it makes it right or wrong.
I see a lot of arguing that sociology or philosophy could be often explained in less technical academic words. I would argue that the advantage of technical jargon is useful for encoding more complexity in a lot of situations, but also not always. Also if its maths then it can be simulated. But often people look for insights for everyday life in the studies and get bombared with the jargon they dont need in their context and get angry. Here science communication that approximately translates it to less jargon language is also needed IMO.
Also AI and consciousness is even more fun with the concensus chaos.

There's awareness, field of consciousness like a background spacetime, and interacting ecosystem of alters (subagents or processes in general) as the content in that, that tend to merge when there's enough correlation through interaction between them, but dont have to, or there can be some higherorder metaprocess that plays with those subprocesses also, being like a dirigent of orchestra of cats, and there can be multiple of those observing or governing dirigent or another higherorder governing dirigent directing the subdirigents. the governing structures dont have to be hiearchical and can also get circular or flat (when experiencing nothingness, there's none of those things). they can be formalized as interacting markov blankets with various degrees of complexity (inert particle, modeller, agentic acter,...) corresponding to nonlinearly interlocking activity of various neural populations in the free energy principle paradigm 🤔 and possibly math of neural field theory can be used - interacting nonlinear clusters of waves, shapes

====Reconstruction====
How to reconstruct yourself after deconstructing yourself for wellbeing?
"I love whatever is going to happen, whatever my fate is. I love and want everything that's going to happen to happen, because it's all just perfect!"
Selfreinforcing bayesian updating stable equilibria.
We're not flooded by errors that are not predicted, or the sense that the errors are are predicted and therefore are not inherently suffering making.
Amor Fati, that comes from Nietzsche, but originally goes back to Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, and in a sense is really the lens that Dzogchen, the great Perfection, is coming from.
"Now that we've talked about dissolving priors in the cortical hiearchy or dereifying concepts, reducing concept weights, seeing concepts as just nebulous mental constructions, by reducing stress, what is it to build back up a good predictive hierarchy? What's the practical take-home message there? Now that we've talked about breaking it down what do we do to build back up in the in a beautiful way? I think that as you say traditionally in contemplative systems the first part is to dissolve things to to the ground or to the groundless ground or to the absolute or to nothingness or whatever language one wants to use to see that everything's a construction and but you can't live from there. That might be like amazing, you could be in a a beautiful deep meditative absorption state of pure nothingness, pure light, minimum phenomenal experiences as Thomas Metzinger has coined it, but you can't live from there and so we have to come back and as we reconstruct the world, if we reconstruct the same crime same hierarchy we're back in the suffering, so what we have to do, along the way we get these insights, and we talked about the three marks of existence, the three characteristics, and those insights are that are for example traditional insights that can allow us to see the world in new and beautiful ways, in ways in which we're not flooded by errors that are not predicted, or the sense that the errors are are predicted and therefore are not inherently suffering making.
But actually the landscape of priors that is possible is enormous, to put it in computational terms, the state space, that we can live within, is just this enormous conceptual landscape, this massive weight matrix of neural network weights of high-level priors, we can construct our world in many ways. Some of those priors will tend to be stable and some will not. We talked about the depressed persons prior being kind of self-reinforcing if I conceive of the world in a way that I'm a useless person, the world's an awful place, always everything goes wrong, and then I look at the world with that lens and I basically say what is the probability that the sensory data that I get, given that that I have this hypothesis, what's the probability that this conforms. And guess what, you find that the world turns out to be like that. You just pick up all this negative stuff, the world turns out to be awful, you see everything that goes wrong, and that's correct. But if on the other hand you have this optimistic beautiful world view that that the world's an amazing place, it's an absolute gift and a miracle, and it's just this absolutely beautiful passing show, and you look at the world through that lens, guess what? You're gonna live in the sacred world, you're going to live in this ecstatic beautiful place.
So I often give this. One of the most spectacular lenses which people can come to live is a lens that I call Amor Fati, that comes from Nietzsche, but originally goes back to Epictetus and and Marcus Aurelius, and in a sense I will say, is really the lens that Dzogchen, the great Perfection, is coming from. That is the lens that I love whatever is going to happen, whatever my fate is. And, you have this, you see the world, and you say, look! The world is absolutely amazing! It's perfect! Everything that is happening, I want it to happen, I want everything that's going to happen to happen, because it's all just perfect! And guess what! Everything does happen, exactly what happens, and you get what you want, and it's ecstatic! Because you're totally fulfilled, the world is just unfolding in some sort of perfect way, and actually, you know, we really can't tune into this. Even this sort of difficulty of suffering and that we see in the world is part of an overall system of the fact that we can even get out of suffering! And in a forest you're going to have a beautiful flourishing forest and part of that almost entails that there'll be some trees that will be more shaded by other trees that are trying to grow and that way species virgin. So there is this Amor Fati lens, and it is exquisite to live within these lenses.
I would say that they are stable equilibria that can be constructed in the sense that these priors reinforce themselves. You can't just put in any priors that are not in some sense validated through Bayesian updating. So what we have to see is that the way of looking at the world reinforces that way of looking at the world. These are things that have been discovered over thousands of years of wisdom and they're beautiful ways of living. Now we're just coming up against maybe one of the reasons why religion has been so useful for us because I guess religions convey some of these high-level priors that when installed are self-fueling in beautiful ways. Like, we've learned over thousands of years, what kind of priors, when installed, help us manage the volatility of our environment, in ways that make our lives beautiful. Let's think through some of the big religions, some of the big spiritual movements, and see what priors they're installing."[- YouTube Constructing Our Lives: with Dr Shamil Chandaria]

"Music and dance are the extravagant exuberance of a nervous system just overflowing with a propensity to oscillate in dynamic symmetrical and periodic patterns in hierarchical orders of complexity."[https://twitter.com/Deepfryguy76/status/1650704690827362304 Music in Harmonic Gestalt, Steven Lehar, 2021]
Personal message to everyone
I started with early complex post traumatic stress disorder from dissonant social experiences, sensory overload, hyperanalysis, overfitting, attentional issues, hyperactivity, empathic emotional deficit, impulsive addictive behavior, anxious-like qualities combo dissonantly interacting with the environment in selfreinforcing feedback loop way that works differently than my organism in this sense combined with first bad trip thanks to unprepared set and setting and spiraling into dissonance, all of which lead to tons of hebbian canalizations over my whole brain as a response to threatening adversity while studying everything from neuroscience to philosophy an attempt to help myself as I was all over the place with milions of perspectives interacting in the space of the mind mine not really unified. But also out of neverending curiousity!
Then by studying unifying metatheories and doing nondual attentional relaxing meditative psychedelic deconstructive and lovingly unifying constructive activities I increased tempature mediated metametaframeworkian plasticity that allowed my organism to interconnect and merge all the canals into one giant metametatheoretic structure that I'm writing in my book, merging all my disconnected subagents or wavey cloudy raw sensations or mentally constructed linguistic or mental models and simulations in general inside into one empty but full interconnected field that is calmed and stable by swimming in loving caring childlike light cute playful deep vast compassionate still spacious free groundless ground that is beyond language, concepts or abstract thought where all beings are spacetimelessly one in the womb of awareness creation that is putting my subagents in unified cooperative harmony and feels divinely comforting where I can be or do "normal human things" or write about all of this without attention everywhere and other things in peace if something way too destabilizing hasnt happened that day. ❤️
There is definitely still more potential to engineer and train the skill to feel unification, learning to love and accept what is, be equaminous in way more external and internal conditions than now, dissolve or transform more learned dissonant conditioned reactions, its still an unfolding healing and overall improvement process, nobody is ever flawless and selfimprovement and wellbeing engineering technically has no upper bound!
Plus I wanna also help everyone with mental discomfort and smoothen, fill the spiky dissonant dark void made of subagents with fullfillment, selfactualization and light, give it breadcrumbs of love and understanding, using these tools I've researched into as effectively as possible, so that's why I'm looking into how can all of this be effectively applied at scale and globally heal and increase the total wellbeing of population and evolve together, effectively mitigate existencial risks, go towards consciousness wellbeing utopia full of mutual compatibility and smooth frictionless coordination, full of freedom for everyone, together as unified humanity or life in general! Let's be healthy, happy, creative, productive, loving together in the quest of making our inner and outer world a better place! 💖

Summary
In this book which is my Magnum Opus I:
-
Lay out nonreductive theory of everything based on quantum field theory and the free energy principle and interconnect it with various mathematical methodologies, approaches and fields, such as harmonic analysis
-
I put express various relatedness and isomorphisms between various neurophenomenological (the study of the brain and interconnecting it with the experience) models (brain network model, predictive processing, connectome harmonics, topology) and unify them into one model
-
I explain how wellbeing, happiness, meditation, psychedelics, mental discomfort, philosophy, pleasure, enlightenment is understood using this framework (reducing uncertainity by consonant symmetrical activity)
-
Go over the existing "what is fundamental" ontological discussions inside and outside of academia (physics, consciousness, unification of those, something third, transcedence of this way of thinking - only prepdictivity of models matters)
-
Based on this research, I give suggestions on how to solve the metacrisis (statistical physics flavoured evolutionary game theory to global social system to navigate the interconnected landscape of existencial risks for humanity in order to find evolutionary stable strategic longterm solutions of not selfdecostructing ourselves soon with stuff like nuclear war, climate change or bio/cyberweapons because of caring for individual short term safety instead of global long term safety) and the meaning crisis by social systems optimized for happiness (slowly transforming the system in better conditions for coordination by for example bigger transparency and for wellbeing by for example denormalizing chronic stress and normalizing cleaning the mind, normalizing states of consciousness high in wellbeing such as Jhanas or 5-MeO-DMT), implications for artificial general intelligence and alignment (inspiration on how people synchronize their vibes from neuroscience)
-
Based on this research, I lay out a full stack protocol on engineering wellbeing using deconstructive and constructive meditation, psychedelics and ways of thinking (equaminity, nonduality, love, perfectness, cultivating symmetrification of neurophenomenology), how to heal trauma and align DMT entities
-
Based on this way of thinking, I suggest definitions for certain philosophical constructs such as truth (certain configurations of sensations or of the brain dynamics), and how to liberate the thinking mind with philosophy (transcendence of all concepts by middle waying everything)

What types of labelling systematizing systems leads to heaven realm states of mind and how to paradise engineer it’s emergence and how to engineer the emergence of the engineering itself and so on? Do you want these things? Not being lost in life. Knowing what you’re doing. Being happy with your life. Making people you care about happy. Not feel lonely. Feel accepted. Feel peace. Understand the world and others. Enjoy doing stuff. Not be lazy. Be motivated. Have energy. Be the best person. Let’s find out how to achieve that. What practical implications does neural annealing model have for mental wellbeing? What are the best algorithms to maximize the most optimal parameters in the space of mental wellbeing in time? What does interpreting empiric data under direct realism and qualia constructivism philosophical framework tell us about achieving states of mind close to platonic hedonistic states of mind? How to find truth, hapiness, peace for our soul manifesting itself in the physical world? In the space of all attractors existing now, what factor attractors fuel the best mental wellbeing mind attractors? How to get to enlightenement? | In order to understand how things work, let’s first figure out how our brains understand anything in the first place.
So, what do we find ourselves in? We suddenly popped into existence with a body that we can control and there are things around us happening everyday and we make sense of it and try to find what’s the best for us with our limited energy. Something is bad? Avoid it. Something is good? Keep looking for it. How do we see if something is good or bad, how do we know that it works? Experience, intuition, someone telling us and convincing us. What things do we want to do? Good things we know that work or new stuff that isnt repetetive. This is crucial. Being happy works? Let’s continue. Being sad works? Let’s continue. Being optimistic works? Let’s continue. Being pessimistic works? Let’s continue. We know this idea works? Let’s try to realise it! We’re supposted to do what? What’s the purpose of it all? Is there even something like a purpose? Is there meaning of life? Or how do our brains create meaning in life?
I make a lot of claims in this book. Some of them are hypothesis extensions from empirical data based models that might or might not correspond to empiric data if the prediction would be put to an experiment. Or it’s neutral play.
Everything and nothing
So, what is the most abstract and general thing? The theory of everything? In order to explain everything you need to explain nothing. In the most general structure, everything can be true. For example absolute nonexistence of experiences, illusionism, or absolute epistemological agnocisism, antirealism, say that nothing is fundamentally true or real, which itself is true or real. This is amazing philosophically, because you can gain understanding of any thought construct thanks to being able to anneal into any possible structure.
Thinking
If we switch to more pragmatism, what is the only thing we can directly measure? There is some experience. And some contents of experience. Different modalities of experience. Thoughts themselves live in this space, also also philosophical thoughts. Let’s break down different kinds of thought modalities. There’s pure unconstrained thinking. Then there’s art and pure philosophy which can be considered as thinking that is constrained by at least some structure. Academic philosophy constains it by some academic rigorousity. Mathematics constrains it by formal consistency. Then computation constraints that by computability. Or physics constraints that by data measured from physical reality. The more abstract science field gets, the more abstract factor analysis on top of data you have to do and lose predictive accuracy and gain chaotic nonlinear complexity. Fundamentally all minds in themselves and languages are doing is labeling attractors.
Chaos language
Everything is just study of avarages over a chaotic system. Linear deterministic systems are attractors in a system that itself has nonlinear chaotic properties. Even more, it’s attractors in categories of intuition. Attractors themselves live in an atractor space and those too up to infinity. Fun thing is, we can also explain the dynamics of philosophy itself in this language. But from philosophical assumptions that there is something and that classical causality is special case of interaction of attractors. One attractor attracts other attractor and no other attractors play a role. Just like how the cause of existence of the intuition of causality we have can be explained in the language of causality, we can explain attractor language by the attractor language itself. This theory creates selfsimilarities at all scales and levels of abstractions of the reality explaining reality as one giant interconnected fractals of fractals. I claim that anything can be desribed in this language. Every other language is just some approximation in some modalities over this pure happenings having different types of possible implications and ways of more modelling over available data and predicting more data through explorative theory building. One can freely switch from low level chaos to different high level languages back and forth in the same sentence depending what feels good. Two dynamics are same, similar, isomorphic, have a 1:1 correspondence in terms of some abstraction when that abstraction over the two cases of dynamicds yiels the same result. Mathematics, programs, game theory, philosophy, causality, classic language, psychology, evolution, etc. are just abstractions over the chaos dynamics.
Chaos modelling
For example what that can be desribed in this language is the dynamics of mind or the evolution of life. Crab is the ultimate lifeform, a perfect attractor, just like how love is. Or evolution of art, music, political, epistemological, ethical, ontological, religious, social construct, language, model, any knowledge, univese, galaxy, planetary, atmosphere, human, animal, plant, ant, soil systems. Scientific, mathematical, code paradigms – it’s all trends like any other trend. Art style is like an ideology. Language is like a galaxy. Religion is like an animal. Ant is like a neuron. Thought is like a star. Cell is like a particle. Skill is like species. Category theory is like buddhism. The concept of everything is the sun of the universe. Anything is like a wave in an ocean. They are all systems of attractors in their own with different properties, some are linear, some have static laws and structures, some are deterministic, some are nicely apprimated when assumed as closed, some are open system so they interact with systems around them, all creating one unified system. The attractors that are the most stable stay and get their labels. If the concept of religion itself wasn’t attracted in some modality, then it wouldn’t be stable and dissolve and no such concept would exist, same for cats, shapes of solar systems, a math theory or structure of ant colonies. They combine nonlineary and phenomena like convergent evolution happens. They maximize fitness, adapting to the environment by knowing how to respond to it by modelling it in some simplified way reducing the element of surprise. Too complex modelling can get too specialized and not general enough, therefore it has space for too many edge cases, and takes more resources. Too general modelling on the other hand doesnt capture enough complexity, sometimes the resources from which the modelling emerges are more cost benefitial in the long run and the system stays for longer. Synthesis of two systems happen everywhere, as we can see with political ideologies for example. Unifications of paradigms in science are synthesis of existing attractors into one, for example recent qualita formalism in mathematical neuroscientific modelling of consciousness is synthesis of different points of view of the data from the measurement of the nervous system and qualia into one with strong predictability power in a lot of modalities just like topos theory is a unification of different ways of looking at math. Many modalities merge into one, but every constructed point of view will solve some problems in some modalities better and in some worse. That implies it's so extremely hard to create a model in every modality space at one and I suspect we will never solve everything with absolute accuracy because for that we would need a theory of everything because it is a closed system and I suspect that would need infinite time and computability power and resolution or approximation of problems equivalent with the halting problem, like the spectral gap, in practice, and a separate model for all possible evolution of states of the universe because of the nuances in states that can get compressed into generalized models specialized for certain modalities always lose some complexity and interconnectedness with abstraction happening. They all are approximations of different topological attractors at some layers of abstraction and physics is great at that. Quantum mechanics on a low level, general relativity on a high level. It’s so hard to find attractors through layers of abstraction corresponding to the bridge between them and unify them in a nice way through classical mathematical means, maybe because they are approximations of different layers of abstraction that can be very nicely approximated as a closed system in terms of layers of abstraction because the attractors don’t interact with each other as much as we would expect and therefore it’s not so easily approximated in an interconnected way, but a lot of different approaches on the unification exist and are still emerging. Any systems of attractors considered form a new system of attractors. Some constructions more trivial or pragmatic than others. You can get to any possible meta level. Model the evolution of modelling the evoltions of modelling the mind or the evolution of different ways of thinking about different ways of thinking.
Mind
Let’s dig into the mind. A mind in time can be modelled as a space in which attractors collaborate and fight with eachother. Sensory information can spawn an attractor that can either get consumed by existing attractors, for example someone complimenting you can get integrated by an attractor that corresponds to the self model in a positive valence way. When problem solving problem, a nice dance of nonlinear selforganization of attractors around eachother plays out corresponding a very pretty attractor whole. Any problem solving in any modalities can be formalised as this memeplex play, where memeplexes correspond to labeling approximations of the underlying dynamics.
We all algorithmize and approximate the pure underlying nature, of pure dynamics, of pure god, of pure everything, pure humanly ungraspable something we can label as anything we want. Everything we can think of is just a useful approximation/model/illusion/however you call it of the underlying world. Including our egos (self models), our world models in general, our social construct models. We maximize our own underlying forces we call basic needs with approximations over them as models and frameworks.
Mind formation
Let’s slowly construct the mind. At first, there is no mind, just like there is no universe. Then an empty mind pops into existence, just like space, along with a lot of unorganized chaotic energy, just like when universe was infinitely small. And then it starts getting structure. Maybe the birth and evolution of the human being is fully analogous to the the evolution of species or universes, since it’s all about maximizing fitness. We come with our genes and epigenetics, that predispose us to certain probabilities of convergences to certain body and mind architectures. Different interconnected sequences of genes, using the past and current sensory input, really restrict the probability of the neurvous system selforganizing in a way of some possible experiences and opens the possibility of others. After popping into existence, this starts to get formed. In the beginning of the human evolution, there is more inner chaos which leads to easier dynamical updating of the self and world model through time. In a sense it’s like kids being constantly like adults but on some dose of LSD. The more we age, the easier it is for our minds to become less chaotic, with some exceptions, because exceptions are everywhere in this chaotic dynamical system modelling, the more we tend to converge to a certain fixed belief system with a self and a world model and the harder for us it is to get out of the local minima of experience we converge into. Different people converge into different types of local minima. At first, everything is unknown to us, everything is just a variable. Then we collect memetics from the environment and nonlineary evolutionary dance them in our mind into a unified structure, such as the goodness and badness of certain toys, people or groups, pragmatic tools, food, nonspirituallike or spirituallike concepts, morals, types of statuses of certain people, ontologies. Some concepts are constructed in the attention awareness, some in the back of our mind but still can be read by the conscious space, some selfmetaprogramming processes work only in the subconscious and can be slightly revealed or communicated with using meditation or certain substances, like inner algorithms, inner gods, higher selfs or DMT entities. Some parts of the brain’s model of everything are mostly given by the environment, some are mostly given by the genes, but it’s always some kind of complex interconnected combination of both. One can possibly anneal into models that have mostly positive or negative high or low energy local minima experiences or some dynamic combinations of those. We can look at the extremes. There’s depression with very low amount of high energy state, then depression with mostly high energy negative states, and then a hydra called bipolar disorder, which is basically oscilating between high energy negative and positive valence experiences. Winning life might be living in constant high energy positive valence experiences that arent too far different from other people’s experiences, so that one still can feel like he belongs, being the optimistic positive type spreading love.
Enlightenement
Metamodelling
When modelling political ideologies to create stability and harmony according to our individual basic needs, we often make assumption such as ubreakable causal chains, determinism, linearity, dynamics that aren’t chaotic aka small input changes don’t create drastically different outcomes. Our brains don’t want to grasp the chaotic dynamics of the real world in those cases. We try to deterministically assume what humans maximize, but there’s an issue there too. It’s a complex interconnected system of approximations over basic needs and different memeplexes that anyone was infected with. Every model is an attempt on satysfying our basic needs on the individual or community or global, including animals and nature etc. level, we sometimes model nature as us not living in it like anything else but bothering it with our existence, seeing ourselves as a virus instead of part of it. In the language of dynamical systems, a virus is just an atom object. Any thought is in some sense also a virus as memetics model it. Different models dont model thoughts as viruses and therfore create better connotation structures. We have models around hunger, feeling included, status, not dying, not feeling restricted, feeling safe. All of those correspnding to our inner mechanisms, different genes, different other memeplexes, different neurobiology. Not feeling restricted can correspond to openness to experience or your fun algorithms specialize in certain modalities that are not being allowed in current system so you anneal to the complete destroyment of the restriction system. I would argue that game theoretically there would be an emergence of less centralised wanting to control equilibria competing with eachother. On some point this is what states are now anyway, but more centralised and regulated in certain parts of the world more than in others.
Learning
Back to psychology, our brains seem to do two approximated factor analysis attractor things when learning new things that gradually convert from one to other. At first, we create bins for possible topics. Philosophy, mathematics, physics, psychology, etc. just like our school system divides the parts of knowledge into lessons. In each topic, we first start from creating simple this phenomena causes this phenomena bins in causality modelling language from eighter our own observation or someone telling us. Then the more coorelations and causalities we observe, the more we interconnect it all together and start making more and more structure. Then the language of philosophy, logic, mathematics can abstract different common patterns among this structure into formalised everywhere existing many structures that satisfy things like no fuziness or polycontextuality in classical set theory mathematics on the first few years of university level. Or in classical language we observe some common patterns, like people wanting food and safety, and set those as axioms from which causality chains to different results emerge. This is great style of modelling for classical attractors. We assume certain causality axioms, absolute objective truths for anything – mathematics, logic, sychology, economy, nature, politics, programming styles and then take them as the absolute from which heverything emerges. Christians see bible as fundamental. Category theorists love category theory in this way. I love my chaos language that I am open to generalise to more. And from that all systems are created. Systems that maximize efficiency in stability win and are kept. Those who are not stable dont survivse for long. Thanks to this certain stable equlibria systems of memeplexes emerge.
Stability
The ones that maximize stability that are approximation of basic needs are those who rely on the axiom that each human is equal to other human when it comes to rights, which is a lot enforced in the current EU, and also need to belong on the community level is enforced, same with destroction of certain social constructs that used to be more stable equilibria back in the days. The most dominant and fundamentalistic, nonrelativistic religions like Christianity and Islam spread and are stable so well because of its properties. You really hardcore into human brains this system of deterministic axiomatic causalitions so well because it written in stories and human brains through the history were adapted on creating their world model behavior algorithmic structure that takes some input and gives some output from this story structure which I would say the more aligned to culture it is, the more chance is has penetrating the pattern recognition system on the level of memeplex. Many things can happen. A perfect belief system energy sink match is basically what we label as confirmation bias, you more and more anneal to that belief system structure because you see more and more data around you having this structure. This is from the point of bayesian statistics completely expected behavior of information processing systems. I would say if you match most of the confirmation bias energy sinks but then edit some small part and constantly reinforce it, yo ucan slowly but surely edit the belief system. The more axiomatic it is, the harder will it be to shift the belief system in the state space of all attractor systems to attractors that are more aligned with the buddha vector aka the property of the attractor to be general therefore easily changeable to concrete others.
Worldviews
There’s also this psychology of trying to be better than the other generation, which is defence mechanism such that it’s escaping from childhood formed negative valence attractors. I myself this way annealed into absolute relativity framed by positive valence story structure by never liking any epistemological barries that humans do. But they emerge for a reason, they’re creating stable society, when as many people as possible are aligned on the same values, morals, ontology etc., and when ideologies that are unstable are only in small percentage of population’s minds, its fine, they become a threat when more and more people anneal to them. Community synchronized stability is harder to achieve but still works in today’s population, because the internet created a global spread of memeplexes from all parts of the world to all parts of the world, creating a global memeplex network. Before the memeplexes emerged and were contained much more localy and nationality enforcing memeplexes stayed stable and got less stable as the system grew and got interconnected, because for a big interconnected system, equality creates some sort of stability on the classical society level. If capitalism emerges, then there’s group maximizing game theoretic things but not rationally as modern game theory assumes, but also there’s human level like irrationality in there and fuzzy chaos. Most modern spiritual religions are synthesis of many existing memeplexes.
Metametamodelling
My mind, this whole book is synthesis of as many most meta memeplexes that I could find anywhere on the internet and I’m still looking for more. At one point when searching for meta memeplexes you notice how so many of them are on the same meta level and have so many similarities that can be formalised, in my case in my chaos attractor language which abstracts away from the meta levels themselves as well. It’s interesting how policital systems come in waves. When one emerges, is stable for a while and then collapses because entropy had to be garbage collected, a slightly different one emerges, maybe less stable one if the system forgets the search for stability that was maybe too long time ago. As you can see this logic can be also applied to how brain forms models. This logic is scale free. Let’s see different phenomena in epistemological frameworks that we see today. Afterall all frameworks are connected to our universal needs. There’s many things which a framework can maximize. Today’s most common frameworks maximize everything in current cultural sense.
Mind metaattractors
There are two extremes that are interesting to analyze, one is absolute scientific darwinian analytical mathematical dynamical look at all phenomena, which is maximizing predictibility power of the future or past states of the system. Eighter specializing in one extremely concrete field, microbiology for example, or systematizing all possible systematization systems, as neutral as possible, in the language of mathematics, modelling frameworks that predict things, with as least as possible structural story, just pure as neutral as possible models, where most popular having assumtions that matter is primary, because for pragmatic reasons it predicts stuff pretty well, or one can postulate that mind contents are primary, or that information is primary, from which its pragmatic to model the mind as a machine somehow making sense from some sensory data and learning from it. Or my way of trying to combine all possible scientific fields and philosophical frameworks analytically for example. Then there’s second extreme, which isnt maximilizing predictibility power at any cost, but the positive valence of experience. Anything that will create as much synchrony as possible not with the real world data, but with the nervous system, is integrated. Religion, language of algorithms in simulation hypothesis, ideologies, stories about the world are maximalizing inner synchrony with causal determinism and pure structure.
Double metaattractor
Interesting to observe when you reach a stable positive valence global attractor state on meditation, which isn't a metaattractor that is destabilizing all other attractors that much, but it's integrating them instead, that you keep after meditation for a while, how a lot of potential negative smaller attractors afterward get converted into positive valence attractors if it's in the space of predictable negative valence attractors corresponding to a substtractor of the global attractor which is eating, converting, integrating it but if a very unpredictable negative valence attractor emerges from sensory data it fails to get integrated and instead there's a competing negative valence attractor with the positive valence attractor which creates a state of mind that has both pretty big positive and negative valence properties. Reminds me of how 5-MeO-DMT bad trip is described as two competing attractors creating dissonance.
Happy life
To lead a happy life, one must find to what he is adapted to. Genes are something like an abstract mathematical structure. It’s a framework that takes an input and creates an output under certain rules. Which foods and how we exercise creates our body and mind. But one thing that I feel like is very underrepresented, because its not thought about as systematically, is the power of memetics. Different people are more attracted towards different attractors of memetics than other people. Their mind is from both nature and nurture adapted to certain memetic attractors. The nurture part here is very important. All those stories about people going from being depressed and unmotivated and without meaning to being happy and motivated with positive future to come. They just went from one framework of thought that eighter wasnt compatible with a lot of their other parts or was just pure nihilism to frameworks of thought that model your environment and yourself as a progressing entity getting better and better, therefore creating the motivation signals. Without this, there’s no circuitry in the brain that would create the association with better or positive valence in general future states of mind. I think a lot of people in our current society that maximilize predictivity power got into this trap. They also according to data about climate change or microplastics or subsribed to the idea that capitalism will collapse into anarchy or the poslar opposite idea that communism will take over europe or that Russia will expand over Europe. They all might be accurate preditions, they also might not, they create activism so that those problems can be solved, which is nice, but not everyone can be consumed by this, which I think creates the global lose of meaning and depression as consequences, scientifically neutral or negative framing of everything, because on the level of individual or community that tries to build motivated positive valence experiences, putting most attention to just possible disasters or negative valence memeplexes in general destroys the possibility for motivation or positivity inducing memeplexes to emerge and take control as metaalgorithms. If you surroud your and your community’s mind with positive motiovation generating memeplexes, which a lot of religions do by default and thats why they’re so valued, you can make new minds anneal into positive motivated worldviews.
Fixing the mind
With minds, which have already extremely deeply annealed into the negative valence worldview, with enough energy they can be reannealed into better ones. There are many ways. Psychoteraphy works for some people. Change of environment works for some people, but not for everyone. Some people are so deep that they are lost in cynicism. With enough emotional stimulation energy though, their minds can stretch and create a new worldview. Negative worldviews can also be something like metatraumas. Your mind is constantly adapting, creating patterns from sensory data and reinforcing or overwriting or creating new algorithms in mind. Meditation techniques train many things. Unifying confliting algorithms. Creating more symmetric shapes of the algorithms, which leads to positive valence. A metattractor so general that it dissolves or integrates all other possible emerging attractors. Incrementary dissolvance of some negative valence attractors manifested as traumas. Proper neurobiology is always needed. If your neurobiology is lacking some neurotransmitters that much that their creation cant get stimulated by memeplexes, then neurotechnology like rewiring or drugs are needed. Overall traumas tend to selforganize neurons in a way which blocks living through basic needs and therefore one never feels the satisfiction because the shared fundamentals with everyone of his neurocircuitry doesn’t get stimulated and sends negative signals in the form of anxiety or depression. All those methods dont have to be used only to get from bad system to a functioning one. They all can be used to create better states of mind from any current state of mind. The issue here is that some traumatic negative valence attractors are too hidden under the defence mechanism complexity built on top of it trying to escape from it, which in some cases subconsciously reinforces them but in other cases can make them dissolve, depending on the structure of the complexity built on top of it. That can create symtoms which can be treated by for example SSRIs and benzos, and benzos withdrawals tend to be much worse. Another issue might be that they’re too strong to dissolve, change their valence, integrate into a more positive valence metaattractor etc. using just pure power of memetics. Here substance assisted psychotheraphy can be used. Theraphies with Ketamine, MDMA, Ayahuaca, LSD etc. show promising results there. Their very complex mechanisms creating certain selforganization states of mind yielding different phenomological data are very nice. Dissocatives implicitly relax all possible attractors, which in some cases with the power of strong metaattractor memetics can be saved for longer than just under the influence of the substance.
Substances
Psychedelics create big amounts of motivated semantically neutral energy which in return creates a lot of annealing processes, that can reinforce, relax, replace existing beliefs, depending on your current metameme structure. The stronger metameme you have, the less likely you will relax it and you’ll supercharge it instead. DMT tends to make you abstractly overfit your ontology metamemeplexes and put it all in a beautiful extremely complex interconnected story about you, universe and so on. 5-MeO-DMT tends to make you underfit instead and relaxes all possible structure into one global positive valence attractor in which you see the concept of everything. Stimulants reinforce concrete overfitting, which is why they’re so good for concrete learning. Substance, set, setting and dose dictates on what metalevel of memeplexes you fly in in which modalities, closer or more far away from concerete modelling of the universal basic needs.
Better state
This also applies without any substances. Set and setting dictates on what memeplexes you inhibit your model of reality in. Neurobiology itself dictates the space of all possible mind states. It’s not constant. It’s dynamic. It changes with new memeplexes and with different substances that come from classical food aswell. Neuroprotective foods also make the selforganizing mechanisms and everything more healthy too. Someone being open to everything is having a metamemeplex which every other memeplex can be in. Different people put different restrictions to this metamemeplex. I am open in the space of all possible memeplexes. Big subset of scientists are mostly open on the level of memeplexes having predictive power. Spiritual people are open on those maximizing positive valence. Certain ideologies create a different subspace of all memeplexes too. Anarchism tends towards memeplexes destroying hiearchy. Authoritianism towards domination. Personality traits can emerge from all those memeplexes or they fuel other memeplexes. They create emergence or collapse into meta ones. Some of them specialize better than others. Some of them are more dynamical than others. Some of them are more motivating.
Happy reality
In some sense your whole reality is one giant approximation. The sense of self, environment, objects, truths, time and space can be warped using different mind configurations in many ways. If one wants to engineer an optimal solution to life, he has to consier all possible factors. If one already has this infinitemetamemeplex that relativizes everything, it can make one feel empty. That’s why when consuming predictive metamemeplexes, it’s great to consume ones framed in positive valence story framework, it’s also great to consume ones that have as much reinforced inner structure to coorporate with others as possible, the ones that have community around them, the ones that yield pragmatic ways of implementing those positive valence experiences in group, because without group, an individual can implement only so much and is limited to only his knowledne and his mind and is not satifying the need for belonging because we’re optimized for socializing.
My ideal community
This can be many frameworks, one such that seems to be the most optimal for people with high annealing parameter given by nature and nurture is this one. Exploring the realms of analyzing the mind and the world is exploring the god’s, nature’s simulation’s creator’s or whatever’s inner approximated structure. We’re in some sense all that thing. One unified thing, because reality isnt just sum of its parts. Things depend on eachother, there’s some kind of connection between anything, said mathematically in the language of fractals for example. Without any part of it the reality wouldn’t work. Everyone is part of everything. Let’s collaborate on engineering the paradise through the lens of both rationality and spirituality in this complex system we call nature. Let’s eliminate the negative extremes through the means of memetics and all other possible neurotechnology. Let’s reinforce patterns in behavior that are linked to better physical and mental health, such as meditation, healthy food, exercise or social gathering. Let’s socially conduct all possible acitivities and technologies linked to raising the energy levels of the brain and therefore making our nervous systems healthy. Let’s cooperate on building those technologies or belief systems. Let’s analyze things not only in short term means, but also in long term means. For example let’s accumulate pleasure through the whole day through reinforcing behaviours which empirically yield better mental wellbeing in the long term. Let’s create technology based on predictive power models. Let’s create interesting stories about the world around us by maximing interstingness. Let’s use the power of feedback loop to design a better world. Let’s model the past and future as positive valence progress, where we learn from mistakes and sharpen our models. Let’s reinforce not getting stuck into negative valence attractors. Let’s maximize not forced productivity.
For everyone
This is one possible path. If one cannot anneal into motivated productive state for paradise engineering, one can be the one who gets help from the engineers without needing to help back in the realm of engineering, just as not everyone is a doctor. Let’s engineer memeplexes specialized for certain people in theraphy. Let’s use the power of neurotechnology like substances to help those people anneal more positive valence generating aligned memeplexes, just like tribal cultures were doing it. Let’s tolerate the existence of other possible maximizing paradigms in our world such as postulating that suffering is fundamental and let those be if they dont want to get aligned. Let’s tolerate all other possible systems when it doesnt directly negatively affect us, like wanting to overtake and dominate us with different maximalization algorithms. Let’s have those metaprocess in our brain: one attracting us to social groups with as many compabilities to us as possible to motivationaly work together on the same goal, second one relativizing all possible states of mind so that empirical analyzation and modelling is possible, third one putting everything into philosophical framework stories making it easier to anneal, where states of mind are possible manifestations emerging from this everything encompassing nature divine laws and having some approximations of attractors that cause the emergence of positive valence states of mind and manifest and engineer those methods in us. This is for people that are optimised for communities. I would label the community under this framework as transhumanistic hedonistic neobuddhistic hippies. Effective altruists are pretty close to this. If one wants to work individually instead of on the level of a community, he can anneal all of those values on an individual level as contents of his self model. But the more individual one makes it, the more lonely he can feel. Interconnectedness of the self model to the model of the environment satisfies the need for belonging. But if one anneals his interconnectedness to nature by treating nature on the same level as other people, so modelling it like modelling interconnectedness to other people, this need can be satisfied while being individual. The metamemeplex I’m telling has people as part of nature, as its manifestation. Or both at the same time is great too. But the more brain is specialised, the better it anneals in that domain, the more it lives through the concrete experiences. If brain is specialised on the most general level, then it lives reality mostly through those lens. Both work and yield positive valence experiences when framed in positive valence optimized framework. Living in noise without any framing is not good for the nervous system.
Generalised chaos
This might not be end goal, there is probably more to all of this, let’s ascend to more universes, maybe there are more ways to abstract over all existing ways of thinking and then all those could maybe be abstracted futher without overfitting or underfitting. But as Kant said, it’s still most likely plays in our sensory information processing hardware and software and there’s isnt an information processing hardware such that all complexities of the reality could be compressed in. Maybe for each possible hardwirable compression way aka categories of intuition you could create a model in some extremely unified category. When the evolution of the chaos modelling paradigm itself can be modelled by itself, let’s take the space of all possible modelling paradigms. If me as a prediction machine wanting the most positive valence for itself and other beings, wanting stability and cooperation so that those positive valence methods of designing belief systems or creating pragmatic empiric methods from models of the brain can flourish, wanting the most interesting exepriences full of the most interesting complexity. If we try to apply this under the classical framework from which we model physics combined with from what thoughts Lovecraft or Wittgenstein was coming from. We have this ungraspable concept of something, let it be under certain approximations some liquid, mathematics, nature, universe, chaos, concept of unknown, subtrate, code, simulation, creator, god, gods, angel, Cthulu, everything, anything, something, superposition of all of those concepts. And we try to approximate over it with all possible thought conctructions that our minds are capable of thanks to their in some ways shared structure. We anneal the patterns so nicely into our neural classifiers that we believe it’s existence constituents for the existence of our inner and outer world, and even this classification of the inner and outer can break down with meditation for example. All barries can break down and create pure unification of everything in one. My most functioning approximation of this mind state is an abstract algebraic structure without any restrictions applied to it, a blank canvas. Even in physics, we say that theory of relativity creates the canvas, the spacetime in which anything can exist, and quantum mechanics draws on that canvas with particles encoded as wave functions, nice waves of paint. Quantum field theory then picks out each paint color and structure into it’s own canvases from which the final canvas is merged into. This concept of unknown is something that creates us and itself, because we are it and it is us. A drawing that creates and paints itself.
Shape of dynamics
Maybe this kind of structure is what is emerging when we do pure statistics over data without any human-like structure in neural networks? We just need to find the right language for approximating its dynamics, maybe nonlinear polycontextual fuzzy logic, just like how brain does bayesian inference? Can they in theory learn any possible dynamics, or they fundamentally specialise only in some modality space of attractors and everything wont emerge even when trained optimally infinitely? When we jump from neural networks to less general methods in data science, when we try to find common patterns among some data, we can do factor analysis using linear regression and principal component analysis. Big five model of personalities is pretty good dimension reduction when it comes to personalities, those are also attractors. It could be reduced to just two. It could be reduced to way more many. The more spectrums we add, the more complexity we get. Again, we can overfit or underfit. We add more structure, like subspectrums or any hiearchical set or category theoretic model hiearchy. We can specialize in different modalities. Data can be noneuclidian, not normally distributed, logaritmic.
Fuzzy polycontextual logic
All of this can be encoded in the shapes and sizes and attractor relations between different attractors in a similar way like infinity category theory does it in deterministic way, this can be in polycontextual fuzzy way. Can nonlinear polycontextual fuzzy logic be the most general approximation of pure topological attractor dynamics? In neural network architectures, multiple layers of attention mechanisms, similar to human attention in layers of modalities, are used, where every layer picks up some combination of some patterns. Attention between attentions, multiple layers of attention on top of attention layers would be metaattention. Just like humans create attention on top of attention. Or neural networks on top of neural networks. Let’s formalise bayesian inference.
Story about the god of chaotic abstraction wantering the space of all existences
Dissecting an abstract optimizing compatibility with environment nihilistic song into healthy optimistic framework How to get everyone to like you Step one Be agreeable When anyone says anything Nod your head Doesn't even matter what they said Just show 'em what they wanna see "Wow, I agree with everything you just said" "Wow, this guy's alright!" "Cool." Repeat until dead
This is easy. It has many disadvantages at first rhough. You still have some individual worldviews and the incompatible memeplexes with your annealed selforganized structure that others shoot at your senses cause physical pain. This disadvantage dissapears when you ultimately generalize your worldview.
Step two Never voice a complaint Because we all know that opinions are tainted
This is the crucial part of building a constantly activated metaprocess attractor eating all sensory data connected to the positive valence centers in the brain. When under indirect realistic brains as information processing entities you see how every single world model is just a useful approximation of sensory data directed towards subjective values of universal basic needs, you notice how every person annealed to a different approximation and it makes sense that they did, since it converged into the space that is most compatible with their inner pressures in most cases. Some people’s inner pressures are too chaotic or inconsistent to abstract over concretely. But if through meditation or substances or other methods you symmetrify and generalize those pressures in a positive valence way start to see positive value in buddha vector that eighter does not get attracted to anything but itself or is from a third point of view is looking over any attarctors that te mind converges in and optimizes the mind in such a way that it directs it mostly to attractors connected to positive valence and need for belonging through interconnectedness and unity, you can see this relativity of every possible world model in a nonnihhilistic way, in happy optimistic way, and generate motivation by making part of your meaning of life spreading this positive metamemeplex.
Everyone ever canonized as a saint Was historically neutral on the topic of Satan Step three Avoid hills Hills are filled with the skeletons of those that died in them Don't be a skeleton Don't be anything at all! If you never stand then you can Never fall and it's just so So comfortable Be agreeable Step four When someone says something that you hate Take a deep breath push it deep down Turn that frown upside-down and you'll feel great One quick trick psychologists hate! Your framework's made of silly putty You'll let yourself be shaped An agreea-playdough-ble Rolled into something that you hate
If you build your metaprocess in such a way that you hate nothing, but everything has nonzero positive valence aspect to it when summed up itself, then hatred always gets canceled by this stronger process in the brain.
So How do you feel now about you? 5/10 or more 2? Fear of 0 kept you from The 10/10, a 10/10 But congratulations Everyone likes you again! But you're neutral on the topic of you, cause No one will ever love you No one will ever hate you
Or you can transpose this in such a way that everyone will always love and hate you, but hating itself can be considered as a negative valence form of love, therefore everyone is just falling in love with you in different forms. But its better to just optimize the love itself and connect every phenomena in the world to positive valence expression of love to your and our eternal self. Goal is to find this experience in yoruself and as many others as possible that want to. The more one wants the easier it is for the other one, so trying in those people is the most cost effective from effective altruist optimization point of view.
Till you're at the pearly gates But heaven's too good for you But you're not even bad enough for hell So purgatory's where you'll dwell Because you were agreeable
Redirectness to heaven realms works. This text feels more negative than neutral. Pure neutrality would in my opinion be my text without the positive valence parts. It’s really unstable because it converges into no basic needs being met, so one has to constantly balance stuff if he wants pure neutrality of mind in practice. This is for the subjective heaven/hell realms connected to the valence of self experience. Christian objective realms are structured in such a way that they dont care if you had negative valence experience of mind, only your output matters, in there, mine nad this song’s structure would be both forms of pure neutrality, if you didnt subsribe on motivating yourself to making other’s experiences also positive valence ones, yeah. Also, purgatory sounds like a neverending trip. :D

'''abc. General scientific framework: Universal Harmonic Darwinistic Bayesianism'''
In the framework that I'm using, fundamentally there are fields of matter forming particles that interact with eachother by interaction fields such as the electromagnetic field with photons. More formally particles are quantum excitation of fermion fields and the interaction is mediated by a gauge field.
These interacting particles then form atoms. Atoms form molecules. Cells are made up of molecules such as nucleic acids, carbohydrates or lipids, and also macromolecules proteins that are made of molecules aminoacids. Cells together form clusters of neurons that can encode mental representations. You can locate whole brain regions that are optimized for specific functions. You can locate inner parts in internal family systems theraphy. You can locate hiearchical abstractions of mental representations in the prefortal cortrex. You can locate slower higher order more conscious conceptual mind influecing the more subconscious faster intuitive mind. Next you get whole organs, whole animals, you can study species with their cultures, that are on earth in the solar system in a galaxy in clusters of galaxies and so on up to infinity through emergence! Consciousness is the physical brain activity that causally edits the experience. But also the models of physics is constructed in our generative models, its a very useful tool for predicting our sensory data and engineering new technology.
Different natural science fields and models in them are different lenses specializing in studying different components at different scales predicting different things in different domains using different tools and are differently succesful. These fields have many mathematical methodological correspondences between them which is identifable by languages that apply in more contexts at once, which is the essence of mathematics. Each scale can be predicted by modelling it computationally by in time evolving statespace with initial conditions.

How to understand all of this? It starts with the world being as a stochastic differential equation, which means that all things - particles to people to the largest systems all move or evolve according to two processes, which combine. First is smooth flowing evolution such as planets orbiting a star or waves rippling over water or though quantum fields. Second is a random process that knocks around the smooth flow in unpredictable ways such as twinkling stars or audio static. These two processes are kind of an order and chaos - yin and yang - forever intertwined and meshed. These two very different effects combine into a chaotic flow which may be entangled in a kind of tropical storm while still maintaing resemblence of structure and things such as raindrops undulating back to earth in a state of constant flux yet still droplets, or a human being growing and adapting to the surprises of life while still remaining individual physical entity. What must things do in order to exist? Better question is: If things exist, what must they do? From the foundation of stochastic differential equations, things, defined as hiearchical markov blankets, must always move towards a pullback attractor, which is a special set of attracting states which maintains the integrity of the markov blanket and therefore a thing's coherence and identity over time. One of the profound consequences of this is that the dynamics of such a system, its laws of motion - principle of least action, will manifest a form of flow dynamics, that can be interpreted as bayesian active inference. In another words such a thing maintains an internal equivalent of a generative model encoding beliefs about the world and itself, minimizing its complexity and maximizing its accuracy. The thing adaptively learns using what it sees and thinks and acts to increase evolutionary fitness by reducing stress and dissonance. People succesfuly predicting their senses, visual data and objects, life, doing better than expected, succesfuly solving basic needs, selfrealizing and growing will be fit, satisfied and healthy with all other parts in the body hyperorganism of communicating cells sending positive signals. An example of a pullback attractor is day and night cycle, seasons or rituals. The thing uses the model to decide actions and performs a bayesian belief update based on the outcomes driven by simple laws of motion, dynamically maintaining the boundaries between things, maintaining order in the face of chaos. Biological systems harvest negentropy and build structure, build internal coherence between internal parts and the environment, to resist entropy - the second law of thermodynamics. Animals eat, think, stay unified and cooperating, internally and externally, physiologically and psychologically, to not die. When an open system gets pushed far from equilibrium by a flow of energy it will naturally selforganize. Psychedelic substances might lead to bigger harmony in the biochemical electromagnetical dynamics between different neuronal populations, making parts of experience feel more consonant and relaxed, more smoothly and regularly shaped. Newton's laws of motion, Einstein equations and Feynman path integral follow from the principle of least action. Free Energy Principle is principle of least action applied to a markov blanket. In machine learning free energy corresponds to evidence lower bound. All of this is applicable across all scales and time leading to an ecosystem of things interacting across scales.
Loop quantum gravity by Lee Smolin and Carlo Rovelli is my favorite candidate for a theory of everything.
Solving the background independence of general relativity vs background dependence of quantum mechanics clash by quantizing and independencing space with abstractifying away by representing the space of metrics (general relativity warped spacetime configurations) in the default unsolvable Wheeler–DeWitt equation that describes the quantum fuziness evolution of the geometry of space into solvable equation of evolving space of connections, where connections are functions telling how something like a vector's rotation changes in euclidian space as it moves between two points in a for example hyperbolic space and the rotation encodes the hyperbolicity, which is by default messy rewrite, so instead of vectors one can use spinors, a vectorlike thing that also represents quantum of angular momentum or spin aka Ashketar's variables, where space of metrics looks like a space of fields in quantum field theory. Ashketar's spin connections, but also evaluated over closed loops, are in the loop quantum gravity. Closed loops means that each quantized point in the fuzzily quantum evolving geometry of space connects back to itself, quantum circuits of gravitational field. 3D space can be sort of woven from these loops into a spin-network - pixelated on small scales, looking like space on large scales, irreducible grains of space connected by quantized are faces like facets. Nodes that intersect the loops = quanta of space. Loops between the nodes = 2D areas. Large quantities of these loops = spin network. Space = geometry of spin network. Time = movement of the spin network. Quantized planck space, and time = ticking like a digital clock. Spin network + time = spin foam. Added mass and energy disort the spin network diisort the shape of the volumes of the spin network is disorted, this distorts space and time, because any movement of these quanta disorts the time quanta. Time is movement of the volume quanta. This distortion of space and time is gravity.
It predicts Hawking radiation and black hole entropy consistent with Hawking and Bekenstein's equations. It gives variable speed of light depending on the energy of the photon, slightly faster gamma rays than radio waves due to the grainyness of loop quantum gravity spacetime. No infinities: Big bang didnt start with a singularity, infinitely dense and infinitely small, because of limit of planck space size. Maximum energy density when reached repels additional energy. The universe started with big bounce - the universe was big at one time, then contracted, it bounced, and then exploded from this bounce. Eternalism.
Not as lost in the combinatorial explosion of abstractness as string theory.
Combine with relational interpretation of quantum mechanics!
But it has its issues, it deosnt solve the problem of time in the questions of the general relativity on large nonquantum scales in the classical limit, or what is dark energy and matter, but that might be resolved with more research.
Maybe an absolutely predictive model of what spacetime with contents emerges from goes beyond human symbolic and shapeshifting imagination.

'''abc. Models of the brain'''
Brain can be studied in many levels of analysis. All layers cause eachother. Or they can be seen as for engineering purposes useful model abstractions, different lenses on the same underlying even more complex thing aka many people looking at one elephant from multiple perspectives.

"Depiction of the human brain in terms of entailed aspects of experience (i.e., phenomenology), as well as computational (or functional), algorithmic, and implementational levels of analysis. A phenomenological level is specified to provide mappings between consciousness and these complementary/supervenient levels of analysis. Modal depictions connotate the radically embodied nature of mind, but not all images are meant to indicate conscious experiences. Phenomenal consciousness may solely be generated by hierarchies centered on posterior medial cortex, supramarginal gyrus, and angular gyrus as respective visuospatial (cf. consciousness as projective geometric modeling), somatic (cf. grounded cognition and intermediate level theory), and intentional/attentional phenomenology (cf. Attention Schema Theory). Computationally, various brain functions are identified according to particular modal aspects, either with respect to generating perception (both unconscious and conscious) or action (both unconscious and potentially conscious, via posterior generative models). [Note: Action selection can also occur via affordance competition in posterior cortices, and frontal generative models could be interpreted as a kind of forward-looking (unconscious) perception, made conscious as imaginings via parameterizing the inversion of posterior generative models.] On the algorithmic level, these functions are mapped onto variants of machine learning architectures—e.g., autoencoders and generative adversarial networks, graph neural networks (GNNs), recurrent reservoirs and liquid state machines—organized according to potential realization by neural systems. GNN-structured latent spaces are suggested as a potentially important architectural principle, largely due to efficiency for emulating physical processes. Hexagonally-organized grid graph GNNs are depicted in posterior medial cortices as contributing to quasi-Cartesian spatial modeling (and potentially experience), as well as in dorsomedial, and ventromedial prefrontal cortices for agentic control. Neuroimaging evidence suggests these grids may be dynamically coupled in various ways, contributing to higher-order cognition as a kind of navigation/search process through generalized space. A further GNN is speculatively adduced to reside in supramarginal gyrus as a mesh grid placed on top of a transformed representation of the primary sensorimotor homunculus (cf. body image/schema for the sake of efficient motor control/inference). This quasi-homuncular GNN may have some scaled correspondence to embodiment as felt from within, potentially morphed/re-represented to better correspond with externally viewed embodiments (potentially both resulting from and enabling “mirroring” with other agents for coordination and inference). Speculatively, this partial translation into a quasi-Cartesian reference frame may provide more effective couplings (or information-sharing) with semi-topographically organized representations in posterior medial cortices. Angular gyrus is depicted as containing a ring-shaped GNN to reflect a further level of abstraction and hierarchical control over action-oriented body schemas—which may potentially mediate coherent functional couplings between the “lived body” and the “mind’s eye”—functionally entailing vectors/tensors over attentional (and potentially intentional) processes. [Note: The language of predictive processing provides bridges between implementational and computational (and also phenomenological) levels, but descriptions such as vector fields and attracting manifolds could have alternatively been used to remain agnostic as to which implicit algorithms might be entailed by physical dynamics.] On the implementational level, biological realizations of algorithmic processes are depicted as corresponding to flows of activity and interactions between neuronal populations, canalized by the formation of metastable synchronous complexes (i.e., “self-organizing harmonic modes”)."
'''abcd. Brain networks/regions models of mental phenomena'''
This approach studies how connectivity topology inside and between various brain regions relate to mental phenomena such as wellbeing and mental discomfort.
'''abcd. Active Inference using Free Energy Principle'''
Active Inference is special case of the Free Energy Principle applied to the brain, where brain does approximate bayesian inference. The basic idea is that our brains are the game of predicting sensory inputs to try and unfer the causes that generate sensations and to work out states of the world so that we can respond adaptively. We're predicting our ability to interact with the world in optionally gripping fashion using what we've learned. If we saw the raw physics and the extreme complexity of everything instead we would go crazy. If we predict that the world is positive, it will be positive. If we truly believe that in front of us is a pink unicorn when taking a psychedelic substance, it will be there in our experience, even tho other people won't see it because of different set of beliefs.
The most mathematically optimal way to work with information is the bayes theorem and our brains seem work work in bayesian mathematics. The issue is that the bayesian theorem is too costly to compute on its own as there is a combinatorial explosion of possibilites. Evolution sidesteps this by creating an internal dynamical generative model that is active and is being edited depending on the error between predicted sensory data, our priors, and actual measured sensory data. [Bayesian Brain and the Ultimate Nature of Reality - YouTube Bayesian Brain and the Ultimate Nature of Reality]
What we see is what we expect to see.
We're never actually predicting the world per se, we're predicting our ability to interact with the world in optionally gripping fashion using what we've learned.
We can be seen as a stack of biologically hardwired and learned homeostats.
Biological systems resist the second law of thermodynamics - entropy aka chaos, by harvesting negentropy from our environment. This harvesting of negentropy is realized as eating food, harvesting solar energy and building models that predict the world. Without reducing uncertainity by building models about the world, we wouldn't be certain where to get food and in more modern age power our system with electricity.
From this seems to follow that the only thing we can be sure about is how predictive our mental or mathematical models are in their domain.
And some of those mental models in certain mental frameworks are more pleasant to inhabit or are generating more motivation and sense of meaning, or include more positive biases, unconditional love, or cognitive traps, than others.
'''abcd. Connectome harmonics using biochemical brain activity via electromagnetic field and its topology and symmetries'''
A key characteristic of human brain activity is coherent, spatially distributed harmonic oscillations forming behaviour-dependent brain networks. [Human brain networks function in connectome-specific harmonic waves | Nature Communications Human brain networks function in connectome-specific harmonic waves]
Remember and selectively controlling a limited set of items in working memory is achieved by interactions between bursts of beta and gamma oscillations. [Working memory control dynamics follow principles of spatial computing | Nature Communications Working memory control dynamics follow principles of spatial computing ]
Communication between neurons that create brain tissue is orchestrated by the electromagnetic field, usually called bioelectricity. Studying this can tell us a lot about experience and edit it by locating neural correlates. Neurons store adaptively learned templates and beliefs of processing their sensory data in their RNA that they exchange between eachother. All cells can be seen as reinforcement learning agents, but neurons are special in a way that they can communicate among long distances like a telegraph. With bioelectric activity, the beliefs construct the generative model by predicting future sensory data after compressing present ones using visual modality, auditory modality, other senses - energy body, touch, feelings, thoughts,... Beliefs in the neurophenomenological software, where some of it is conscious (global workspace), correspond to shapes in the electromagnetic field. You can do harmonic analysis or use group theory.
'''abcd. Neural Annealing
Annealing is important concept for meditation, psychedelics, belief updates and so on. General structure of annealing is accumulation of internal free energy in a system leading to increased temperature which reduces constraints on freedom of action for the elements of the system leading to elements exploiting new freedom and naturally selforganizing into (usually) more consonant / symmetrical configuration. In psychedelics and meditation, free energy is semantically neutral free computational power and elements are neurons.

Brain as an ocean
[[File:Visualization of sensations traveling through consciousness.png|500px|Alt text]]
Mindbrain is like an ocean.

(programs) (brain activity correlated with consciousnesshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_correlates_of_consciousness)
Many smaller waves can combine to create a long wave like thoughts can. (interlocking, gestalts[[Nonlinear Wave Computing]]) Long waves have a lot of small waves in them, leading them, like emotions or philosophical assumptions affecting our whole thinking. ([[bayesian priors]], [[top down processing]]Neural Annealing: Toward a Neural Theory of Everything – Opentheory.net) We don't observe a lot of the movement of water between the surface and the bottom, but we can learn to, connecting more with our subconscious. (brain activity not correlated with consciousness interlocking with activity correlated with consciousness)
When the ground of the ocean moves, it creates waves aka thoughts. (neurons firing and creating electrochemical/magnetic/potentials activity) When one part of the ground moves, the neighboring parts start to move too, lighting up associations. (associative/symmetry-based representations in the hippocampusPlace cells: How your brain creates maps of abstract spaces - YouTube Place cells: How your brain creates maps of abstract spaces]) Soft rain or hurricane can affect waves or the whole ocean and that shapes the ground, like friend telling you he had a good day or him causing you trauma.

([Predictive Coding](<Place cells: How your brain creates maps of abstract spaces - YouTube Place cells: How your brain creates maps of abstract spaces]) Soft rain or hurricane can affect waves or the whole ocean and that shapes the ground, like friend telling you he had a good day or him causing you trauma. (measuring sensory data and learning patterns from them. ([[Predictive Coding>), [[Active Inference]]) The ground overtime forms new interesting shapes, which is like learning knowledge, some shapes being worse or better at creating groups of smaller (thinking about cars) or longer waves (thinking about meaning of life), with less and more flow. (statespace of [[neural representations]], [Memeplex - Qualia Research memeplexes])
The ground gets used and cracks or deformations in shape can happen, which blocks certain parts of the ground affecting other parts, which results in less flow of waves and stress, dissonance. ([[Symmetry Theory of Valence]]) This can be fixed by long smooth waves, like relaxation (raising semantically neutral free energy parameterNeural Annealing: Toward a Neural Theory of Everything – Opentheory.net), which smoothens the ground, allowing flow again. ([[Neural Annealing]]) One part of the ground is the identity, primal instincts, and quick, impulsive behavior (default mode network), that likes small waves, other part of the ground corresponds to selfcontrol, slow, planned behavior (central executive network), that likes long waves, and they are communicating between each other.[https://academic.oup.com/nc/article/2022/1/niac013/6758320 Beyond the veil of duality—topographic reorganization model of meditation] The stronger one can take too much control sometimes, creating too much (ruminating, addictions, thinking too concretely) or not enough small waves or too much (thinking too generally) or not enough (absence of emotions) long waves.
The smoother the waves aka thoughts, the more pleasant they are, the more they smoothen the ground. The bigger, the more intense they are. The longer, the more interconnected with everything else they are. Smooth big long waves are the waves of biggest happiness, which is created by for example deconstructive meditation[https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abo4455#.Y0cxJJgZqB8.twitter Mindfulness-induced endogenous theta stimulation occasions self-transcendence and inhibits addictive behavior] or [[5-MeO-DMT]], in general intense positive emotional experiences.

In this framework, wellbeing is encoded in error dynamics. [https://www.researchgate.net/publication/353068183_The_Predictive_Dynamics_of_Happiness_and_Well-Being The Predictive Dynamics of Happiness and Well-Being] We feel good when we do better than expected. It can be locally by playing a guitar or globally overall by building our life we predict as optimal, satisfying basic needs, selfactualizing in what we see meaning in, satisfying learned reinforced desires. Some of those desires can be maladaptive for wellbeing when the reward mechanism is hijacked by overstimulation with things such as social media. Mathematically optimal error dynamics for wellbeing is constantly growing and all kinds of pleasant sliding error slopes in variety of contexts. Or hijacking this mechanism by meditation where every moment can be felt as better, new, unique, but same, doing better than expected, than in any other moment.
In this lens, wellbeing (or enlightenment?) can be also seen as adaptive fluidity.
Deconstructive meditations progressively reduce temporally deep processing. Insight experiences arise during meditation due to Bayesian model reduction. Meditation deconstructs self models by reducing abstract processing. Non-dual awareness or pure consciousness is the ‘here and now’.[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S014976342100261X From many to (n)one: Meditation and the plasticity of the predictive mind]

Symmetry Theory of Valence [The Symmetry Theory of Valence 2020 Overview Symmetry Theory of Valence] postulates that the more symmetries are located in the bioelectromagnetic activity corresponding to our conscious experience, the more good the experience feels. These symmetries on the level of beliefs can be realized in terms of not making distinctions, aka lowering information content, aka underfitting, between different sensory modalities or thoughts by deconstructive meditation, psychedelics and nondual thinking [ActInf GuestStream #008.1 ~ "Exploring the Predictive Dynamics of Happiness and Well-Being" - YouTube
"To use a musical metaphor, in experiences of pain and unfulfilled desire, the overall melody is played in a more minor, or entropic key/timbre. Alternatively, in experiences of pleasure and fulfilled desire—potentially including virtual fulfillment (i.e., pleasurable anticipation)—affective orchestras play melodies with greater consonance. One could view such soundtracks to the (fully immersive virtual reality) movies of experience as separate streams of information that help contextualize what is being seen on ‘screens’ over which we see stories unfold. However, it may be closer to experience to say that this metaphorical music enters into what we see and feel, imbuing (or synesthetically coloring) it with meanings. Indeed, we may be able to find most of the principles of affective phenomena to be well-reflected in our experiences of music, where we play with building and releasing tension, enjoying the rise and fall of more and less consonant (or less and more dissonant) melodies. In musical pleasure, we explore harmony and the contrast of disharmony, eventually expecting to return home to the wholeness of the tonic, but with abilities of our “experiencing selves” to find satisfaction in the moment not necessarily being the reasons that our “remembering selves” find ourselves attracted to particular songs.
The affective melodies played by neural orchestras will be dominated by interoceptive modalities, the most ancient—both developmentally and evolutionarily speaking—and reliable indicators of homeostatic and reproductive potential. Do we have relaxed and dynamic cardiac rhythms? Is our breathing easy or forced? Do we feel warm—but not too hot—or cold? Are our bowels irritated or copacetic? Do we feel full or empty inside? Do we feel like our body is whole and strong, ours to command where we will, if we wanted it? Or do we feel damaged and weak? This interoceptive information speaks to foundations of life and the cores of value out of which persons may grow." "Much of the phenomenology of desire may represent the prediction of value-attainment, activating associated somatic and interoceptive concomitants of consummation, which are subjectively (and synesthetically) felt in body maps in places most associated with value realization. If these sensations are accompanied by temporary net decreases in predicting homeostatic or reproductive value-realization—potentially mediated by opioid signaling—overall unpleasant interoceptive inference may accompany these perceptions. In this way, the feeling of desire would be experienced as a kind of pain, with its particular characteristics depending on unique learning histories. However, painful desire can be transformed into pleasurable anticipation if we find ourselves predicting overall increases in value, so creating pleasurable contrasts with the discomfort of wanting. If the visceral concomitants of affective experiences become entangled with exteroceptive and proprioceptive percepts in the quasi-synesthetic fashion described above, then pleasure and pain (including desire) would be generated as interoceptive modes becoming infused into other modalities in particular ways based on historical associations."

Deconstructive meditation, psychedelics and nondual (boundaryless, expansive, general) thinking symmetrify (smoothen) the shape of our generative model by dissolving the cortical hiearchy of beliefs (philosophical assumptions, interacting self and environment model, predictions about existence or properties of units located in spacetime data structure using the language of causality), resulting in freeing the brain dynamics' flow of energy from the self model attractor default mode network.

The epistemic agent center corresponds to the default mode network, which gets weakened on meditation (more on that later), on meditation, you can repeatedly dissolve the great attractor/contraction of iamness/existence by endlessly looking for it and what it's made of without using concepts and constantly not finding it. Self model gets less weight and therefore the organism creates less stress to keep it. Ego dissolution is the weakening of this self center of experience, which can be temporary or permanent.

'''abcd. Meditation'''
'''abcdef. All'''
Meditation can be the most generally defined selfmetaprogramming of our generative model contents or shape. This can really be extended to psychedelics or just normal everyday life. Deconstructive meditation is systematic asymmetry, contraction, dissonance, viscosity, stress, blockage,... reduction. Nondual enlightenment is replacing the deepest priors in our cortical hiearchy, that function as initial predictions in constructing our generative model, with nondual priors, allowing a stable selfreinforcing persistent symmetrical state.
The difference between everyday life and formal undisturbed meditation is that you have much better conditions to more efficiently carefully inspect, dissolve, strenghten, or edit insides of your inner generative model and make it smoother to allow more flow, more pleasant symmetrical dynamics. Meditation makes transparent processes that construct our reality opaque, letting us replace the deepest priors about reality. Nondual enlightenment is replacement of fundamental belief priors with nondual beliefs. Slow disintegration of cortical hiearchy of concepts. Nondual awareness can be conceptualualized as the substrate on which the generative model arises, but even that can be dissolved and doesn't need to be reified. Psychedelics do this in extreme way and are harder to control. There is a learnable skill of learning to be in a flow state by making your genertive's model topology such that one is satisfied with every moment and no thoughts that want to change what is emerge.
Shifts in permanent experience (for example nondual enlightenment or dark night of the soul) on meditation are the result of a permanent (not just an experience that fades away after the meditation session) reorganization of neural networks into a different configuration (a phase shift in the configuration space). Jhanas or overall mediation can induce it by repetition. Some people can get enlightened after a single psychedelic trip or out of nowhere, some people need to meditate or trip for years for a permanent shift in experience to happen, what matters is the stbility of the configuration. The more entropic, closer to criticality, near phase shift, it is, the easier it is to prmanently change one's own perception, as the statistical hull of the current configuration is weaker, and less conflicting data is needed to induce a generative model update.

Weakening default mode network, strenghtening central executive network and its connections with DMN. In this sense, meditation can be seen analogous to fitness. You are literally making the muscles of your brain stronger.
'''abcde. NA'''
In do nothing meditation, neural annealing increases the free energy parameter in the brain, leading to entropic disintegration (dissolution) of existing structures and reselforganization into a more symmetrical configuration. You can also dissolve, strenghten or transform existing structures corrresponding to belifs, or get high level connections between concepts to emerge. The whole topology gets smoother. Compared to psychedelics, one has more control over it, its much less extreme.
'''abcde. Emptiness as mental constructedness'''
Emptiness is a core concept in deconstructive meditation. It means that everything is just a nebulous dream-like rainbow-like mental construction. Everything is surrounded by spaciousness. There's no source, destination, concepts. But there also is. Groundless ground. Emptiness is empty too. If you think you understand emptiness then you don't understand emptiness. Total mystery, grasping the unknowable.
'''abcdef. FEP'''
Everything that used to be transparent becomes opaque, you get metawareness of the generators of your experience. What was holding together the self model and its distinction with object is seen though and deconstructed. It is there but not there. This realization reduces suffering a lot.
'''abcd. Total mental frameworks and identities: philosophies, ontologies, ideologies, religions,...'''
'''abcde. FEP'''
Each total mental framework is one of many attempts at maximally reducing the uncertainity in sensory data. It generates an explanation (usually deterministic and linear story) for any measured pattern.
'''abcde. All'''
Using this style of conceptualization, everyone constructs his own reality according to what environment with what memeplexes he grew up in and what his nervous system is inclined to be attracted towards, which is determined by the genetic code and what embodied in environment evolution it went though.
Mental framework can be seen as axiomatic (fundamentalist) metavectors fueling (or parasiting) all experience, ultimate uncertainity entropy reduction, generating flow in one single direction. Destabilizing them (structures of ego aka self model in general) by measuring conflicting data hurts and defence mechanisms arise as it generates negative valence.
'''abcde. Groundless ground'''
Identity shift to groundless ground is very useful as it minimizes fear or not feeling home when dissolving the generative model's evolutionary useful structures to feel more free. The less you fundamentally identify with some concrete cluster of sensations, the less things will bother you. Mental frameworks are configurations of the qualia that make the new insights stick. Groundless ground makes all nondual dissolving realizations stick permanently, makin them not just an experience that instantly fades away. The more one pushes himself in this framework, the more it stick. Constantly integrating emptiness into form. Mundane things become divine. Being "out of simulation" becomes the same as being "trapped inside simulation". Nirvana becomes samsara. Duality becomes nonduality. Distinction becomes unity. Somewhat something moving on a fading road. Experience without projector. The screen of consciousness isn't fundamental too. No ground. Freedom.

Groundless ground is the "ultimate" underfitting mental framework, symmetrifying all asymmetries in the symbolic mind's topology.

Substances alter your usual brain wave dynamics.[Qualia Research Instituteblog/nonlinear-wave-computing Nonlinear Wave Computing: Vibes, Gestalts, and Realms]
'''abcde. Stimulants'''
Stimulants, or dopamine, direct the flow of experience more as concrete local motivation is increased. Local actions are more meaningful and more easily solvable with less distractions being generated.
'''abcde. Dissociatives'''
Dissociatives just turn off all processes in your generative model. K-hole is blinking out of existence.
'''abcde. Alcohol'''
Alcohol is great social lubricant. it in similar ways like psychedelics deconstructs your usual thinking patterns and you speak more from your core with less filters. Plus its euphoric. It can turn your whole mind off. You can loose your evolutionary useful learned boundaries. The downside is the potential health issues and hangover that follows.
'''abcde. Weed'''
Weed nicely relaxes the thinking mind, creates random connections, enhances creativity.
'''abcde. Antidepressives'''
The serotonin hypothesis of depression has been empirically debunked. If it was true, SSRIs would function immideatly. The most plausible model of antidepressives is that serotonin adds noise to the brain (psychedelics too in slightly different way), creating random connections, which enhances neuroplasticity: the ability of the brain networks to more easily reorganize to a different configuration - to a less depressive/anxious etc. one in a way I described earlier. This is why it works differently for different people and why its more effective in conjunction with psychotheraphy and overall changes of external conditions, which pushes the system to that different configuration.
'''abcde. Psychedelics'''
Psychedelics can be seen as an internal enhancers of what's already there. Can make you see absolute meaning in everything and contemplate deeply in a raw unfiltered fashion. You can loose your evolutionary useful learned boundaries too. Psychedelic afterglow can be amazing.
'''abcdef. CHEMTSCH'''
Neural annealing says that with psychedelics, the free energy parameter in the brain is massively increased, leading to massive entropic disintegration (dissolution) of existing structures and reselforganization into a more symmetrical configuration. Dissolution is mostly common with 5-MeO-DMT. Existing structures can be dissolved, strenghtened or transformed. Other psychedelics also dissolve, but much more strenchten or transform existing belief structures. Many new interconnections between them can happen. If the trip revolves around a dissonant structure such as some worry, that can get strongly stenghtened and interconnected with everything, resulting in trauma.
'''abcd. DMT entities and Gods'''
DMT entities and Gods are higher order selfsynchronizing superselfmetaprogramming agent metaprocesss, usually outside of self model's agency, editable indirectly, you can merge with them, such as with god of compassion on meditation, or the God of Everything on 5-MeO-DMT as global coherence of clusters of brain dynamics, dissolving internal boundaries. DMT entities can be seen as competing clusters of coherence.
DMT entities and Gods are standard background noise of self stabilizing software agents that normally parasitize on organismic information processing networks but get amplified when you blow yourself out of your brain on psychedelics.
Gods are metaphors for nonsymbolic aka intuitionbased aka Fristonian free energetic force or attractors in the neurophenomenological statespace.
They are usually some extreme of the psyche,: freedom, unity, suffering. Or symbolisms for something: fertility, sea, underworld, art.
DMT entities can be projections of sociodynamic landscapes. For example, Jesters/Clowns/Harlequins express "narcissistic vibrational modes" of consciousness. Their traps & childish playpen energy is a manifestation of conditional love.
Bodhisattva energy, on the other hand, is a manifestation of unconditional love modes of consciousness. It's such a different kind of vibrational landscape!
DMT can help you see what kind of social dynamics you are subconsciously modeling as your "default mode of interaction". [https://twitter.com/algekalipso/status/1602578160943599617 Andrés Gómez Emilsson tweet]
DMT activates a notion of observing foundational agency, while dissociating the individual self. Fractalized agency = machine elves, Gaia-ized agency = Pascha Mama, unified agency = cosmic consciousness, contracted unified agency = cosmic core [https://twitter.com/Plinz/status/1364675761781628928 Joscha Bach tweet]
With classic psychedelics, which stand somewhere between DMT and 5-MeO-DMT in their level of global coherence, you always go through an annealing process before finally “snapping” into global coherence and “becoming one with God”. That coherence is the signature of these mystical experiences becomes rather self-evident once you pay attention to annealing signatures (i.e. noticing how incompatible metronomes slowly start synchronizing and forming larger and larger structures until one megastructure swallows it all and dissolves the self-other boundary in the process of doing so).[On Rhythms of the Brain: Jhanas, Local Field Potentials, and Electromagnetic Theories of Consciousness | Qualia Computing On Rhythms of the Brain: Jhanas, Local Field Potentials, and Electromagnetic Theories of Consciousness]
God, or ontology and morals in general, as this ultimate abstraction on the highest level that controls everything else in the lower levels in some ways, and top down processing!
Higher abstractions are bending the spacetime of lower abstractions in a cortical hiearchy! You merge with god/nature/reality on meditation or psychedelics when those kinds of hiearchies dissolve into hiearchyless attractor where everything influences and synchronizes with everything! Nondual unified oneness! [A Sensory-Motor Theory of the Neocortex based on Active Predictive Coding | bioRxiv A Sensory-Motor Theory of the Neocortex based on Active Predictive Coding]
'''abcd. Meaning'''
What is the most meaningful thing that has ever happened to you? Or what is the most meaningful situation to you? Something profound, transformative, intensely lived through, full of life and your values being satisfied? Full of selfactualization, selfrealization?
Meaning can be seen as the sense of connection with us, others and everything.
Meaning is also the set of values that we have. Values are fundamental priors and process niches that the nervous system experiences biggest amount of flow in. (influenced by both nature (genes) and nurture (environmental influences))
Connection with us is created by working on us, analyzing us, training to love us, inner spiritual work.
Connection with others is created by community that resonates with us culturally (philosophy, ideology,...), couple of clouse friends and significiant other we resonate with across as many scales as possible in psychology, not just physical attraction.
Connection with the universe and everything is the sense of being part of something greater, something transcendental. Paradigm of emergence or god consciousness. Siblings in the wound of creation on groundless ground, interconnected beyond space and time. Cultivating flow, harmony with what is in the present moment.
'''abcd. Neurodivergences'''
'''abcdef. BN'''
Too much or too little communication between and inside centers.
'''abcdef. FEP'''
Failure modes in bayesian model updating uncertainity reductions.
'''abcdef. CHEMTSCH'''
Nearly all psychiatric conditions may be characterized by some level of “oscillopathy” or “rhythmopathy.”[https://www.cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896-6273%2823%2900214-3 Brain rhythms have come of age] Fragmentation of our world view (mental models) is the underlying problem leading to our problems in society (mind), ability to identify with one ingroup and go into rivaly with another outgroup, optimizing particular metric while externaliting harm to another metrics, the ability to benefit the near term while damaging the long term, all of those are special cases of percieving parts rather than wholes, which ended up actually damaging the wholes and parts themselves through the interdependence of parts.
'''abcde. Definition of mental disorder'''
It's a disorder if it disallows the individual to feel happiness and achieve his values and goals in which he sees meaning.
The least damaged brain in my lens is one that enables the most wellbeing while still being functional in everyday tasks. So short term "derails" from the usual metastable configuration are part of the process.
I see all those mental divergences from norm as spectrummy clusters of patterns in behavior caused genetically and environmentally that can create both adaptive or maladaptive patterns in behavior or neurobiology producing more than avarage suffering or happiness depending on the patterns. It can have evolutionary functions (such as being tribe leader, engineer, healer,...) to which one can adapt if the environment supports it with conditions, but it also can make one desynchronize with the environment or in general with himself internally, creating suffering for the individual, and neurotheraphypharmatechnological methods or any behavior correlating with happiness empirically can change the neurobiology to make the individual fit in his environment more or help his neurobiology have dynamics that supports having hedonium in the first place, making him suffer less. On the other hand in some cases some proposed methods can contract him into social constructs and happiness conditionings which can kill his ability to see freeying emptiness and feel unconditional love.
Different systems also maximize different things with different intensities with different philosophical and political systems, which can be framed by minimizing dissonance under current memeplexes with least action. Happiness , knowledge, agency, productivity, technology, predictivity, spirituality or equality of beings for example, after basic needs of people are met (not always haha), which determines what should be normal by social constructs,...
Different cultures have different set of normal behaviors and therefore different definitions of mental divergences that dont make the individual fit into the environment which then tries to fix him to fit into the environment. Avarage modernist american/european city or academia where psychosis is seeing empirically unmeasurable stuff (which sometimes breaks down haha) versus buddhist monk centers where its weird to not be dissolved versus spiritual groups where experiencing minds to the fullest isnt weird versus hyperfundamentalist muslim or christian countries where not believing in god is sign of devil that needs to be fixed with with neurotheraphypharmatechnological intervention. I'm an individual that loves to play with his internal models in the sea of atheistic Czechia, which isnt very compatible with most people here lol, but i can find compatible people where anyway. But I'm glad we don't tryhard capitalism as hard as America.
A lot of the pharmacological solutions also solve symptoms instead of the cause. In this book I'm advocating for going at the cause.
The very process that makes us effectively adapt to the environment by selecting relevant information in sensory data and constructing relevant for survival and collective goals useful hypotheses/models about them makes us vulnerable to selfdestructive dukkha suffering spirals. ADHD, causing the individual to jump from one thing to other on his mind, having trouble finishing stuff, forgetting stuff, impulsivity, which can create suffering by sense of failure, brokeness etc. generating negative experiental traumatic memories and associations, or autism making the individual create meaning of life around super specific topic, which makes him not being able to talk to people with normal social constructs. But combined gives the ability to do asperger like hyperfocus on topics that are extremely meaningful for the individual, which can on the other hand create meaningful life, status, sense of freedom,... It has to be compatible with the environment tho, to sustain the individual with the collective. To reduce individual's sense of uncertainity of his basic needs and meaning of life being fullfilled,... it can be adaptive or maladaptive. Stress is mostly not good neurobiologically for hedonium belief networks with consonant activity and functioning biohardware that isnt collapsing even tho it can enhance concrete productivity. You also dont want configurations that permanently break down some needed brain's functions such as for example consistent inner world simulation or ability to model somewhat coherent stories to make you survive with the environment, vibe with others, or not getting sucked into bad wellbeing attractor. Context matters!
'''abcde. Depression'''
'''abcdef. BN'''
'''abcdef. FEP'''
Depression is in Active Inference considered to be caused by repeating failed attempts at reducing uncertainity: basic needs and selfrealization.
'''abcdef. CHEMTSCH'''
'''abcdef. All'''
'''abcde. Anxiety'''
'''abcdef. CHEMTSCH'''
Anxiety (resulting in procrastination) can be seen as the feeling of an emotion trying to rise up and push itself into our awareness and the feeling of our awareness trying to suppress the feeling, thus creating an uncomfortable agitation.
When people who suffer from chronic anxiety are asked, “What is the emotion that is under your anxiety?”, they will often be surprised to discover that once they allow themselves to really feel whatever feeling that is, the anxiety weakens or diminishes. Sometimes it isn’t even something that may be perceived as negative— they are people reporting that they discovered emotions like excitement under their anxiety.
'''abcde. ADHD'''
[Photoplayer Unusual Instrument Used In Silent Films - YouTube Neural orchestra of ADHD]
'''abcde. Autism'''
Overfitting. Underdeveloped theory of mind parts of brain.
'''abcde. Schizophrenia'''
Underfitting. Too much certainity on high level priors manifesting in hallucinations.
'''abcde. Trauma and PTSD'''
Trauma is learned dissonant responces to certain subset of sensory data stored in the bodymind.
'''abcd. Lucid dreaming'''
Lucid dreaming is somewhere in the middle between psychedelics and meditation. More control than psychedelics, more extreme than meditation. The generative model isn't constructed from the sensory data but from noise that can be transformed into anything and you get free wheeling halucinations, becoming the God of your inner world simulation.
'''ab. Practical applications of this research

'''abcd. Basic needs and health'''
Taking care of your basic needs from the Maslow Hiearchy of Needs. Healthy lifestyle. Treating diseases if present. Reversing aging?
'''abcd. Reward architecture'''
Don't hyperstimulate yourself with easy rewarding (dopaminogenic) activities or you'll build reward circuitry tolerance and won't be able to feel rewarded. To make dopaminogenic activities generate pleasantness in the long term, it has to be in a meaningful context.
'''abcd. Meditation session'''
This will be one giant all encompassing session, you can do it all at once do a subset of it for a long time
'''abcde. Mental moves'''
'''abcdef. Intention'''
First you can enter the meditation with an intention. It can be relaxing from the day, being more capable of achieving your goals, being a better person, or becoming elightened, My favorite is increasing soulfulness, fully inhabiting your life, becoming infinite love, remembering one's true self, awakening into oneness with the universe, becoming open-minded, openhearted, open-bodied. <3 This will shift the task your mind is solving.
I really recommend with anything one does as not seeing it as an escape mechanism but rather than enhancement of everyday life. Integrate emptiness into form aka integrate nondual bliss into everyday life.
'''abcdef. Relaxing'''
Let go of things from the day. Relax the thinking mind by tuning into raw sensations. Scan your body and slowly relax each muscle. Relaxing the body relaxes the mind as its a one system.
'''abcdef. Gladening the mind'''
To free mind from hindrances (sensual desire not aligned with current context, anger, hostility, hatred, sloth, restlessness, worry, doubt) that can be seen as forces in motor planning space field interfering with flow of energy in the phenomenal field, warping its spacetime like gravity n theory of relativity. Notice the hindrance, objectify it, throw it away or replace it by making it just a nebulous fabrication, optionally deconstruct it or show it proof that it serves no purpose anymore or show it love or show it that it doesn't exist without space and time with no possible linear structure and self other distinction. Come to present moment. Add wholesome thoughts. Warping of this spacetime by desires can be seen as suffering. Not warping this space is a learnable skill through meditation.
Actions can be motivated and reinforced by fear, pain, pleasure. They are usually fight flight freeze responces. Managers (planning) managing the system to get away from exiles (painful memories) and exiles being shut down by firefighters (substance addictions). The space of needs to change the current state to better one is full of evolutionary useful darwinian delusions that makes us construct goals and make us statebuilding species. "Owning this car will finally make me satisfied!" can generate temporary happiness but usually you climb down back to the hedonic set point, as what material things seems to matter in the long term is just the cost of basic living, and those other material things don't make profound changes to the topology and generative model's structure of one's nervous system, which is where the sense of wellbeing seems to originate. Next step for selfmetaprogramming happiness is cultivating this symmetrical mind in for example this way that I'm describing in this book.
'''abcdef. Building packets of negentropy'''
Concetrate on an object. Anything you like concetrating on, breath, mandala, good things from the day. Smooth flow aka contentless states of high concetraction, sensory clarity, equaminity, love can be seen as packets of consonant negentropy, when sent as messages are melting dissonant knotted traumatic structures/bayesian markov blanket beliefs.
'''abcdef. Seven factors of awakening'''
"In brief, you first need to use “flow” which “melts” the structures (knots) of your world-simulation and makes them flexible and amenable to modifications. Then you use the seven factors in order to direct the evolution of the flow into healing and harmonious dynamics. Doing this over and over will, over time, allow you to create a very wholesome and healing flow. More specifically, here are the seven factors as seen through the lens of Neural Annealing:
a. Balancing Factor:
- Mindfulness
a) Maintain flow in the foreground
b) Focus on the texture rather than the content of flow
c) Monitor for the arising of hindrances and inclining the mind away from them
d) Noticing all the clusters of flow
b. Energizing Factors:
- Energy
a) This is what happens when you “pluck” the flow. Naturally, this energizes the eigenmodes of the flow! It is like the light that gets trapped between two parallel mirrors. Energy illuminates the harmonics of the flow you are cultivating.
- Joy
a) The judicious selection of sets of eigenmodes that are consonant together
b) Given joyous flow, deepening the joy entails energization, blending, and annealing of the consonant gestalt (cf. Focus on Positive)
- Investigation
a) Examining the texture of flow. Testing it to determine the presence of hindrances.
b) It is listening for the ring of the flow (with its objects) and diagnosing what is in it
c. Tranquilizing Factors:
- Tranquility
a) Cultivating tranquility entails developing highly-efficient cooling structures that channel flow and dissipate energy quickly (cf. Focus on Rest) (Delta Rivers)
- Equanimity
a) Not interfering with energy transit and dissipation by letting it recruit as large of a piece of flow as possible for its diffusion A
b) At a high-enough concentration, equanimity undergoes a phase change. It becomes very fluid which balances out the forces inside you. I can see how in large enough amounts this would significantly reduce the suffering associated with intense pain.
c) Remember the teachings of Rob Burbea (“what you resist persists”) and Shinzen Young (“suffering equals pain times resistance, purification equals discomfort times equaminity, frustration equals pleasure times resistence, fulfilment equals pleasure times equaminity”)[Purification and Fulfilment: Four Formulas ~ Shinzen Young - YouTube Purification and Fulfilment: Four Formulas ~ Shinzen Young]. Essentially, resisting negative energies makes them stronger. This is doubly so on psychedelic states of consciousness. Instead, remember that high enough equanimity, where you don’t let positive or negative vibes “move you”, maximizes the rate of stress dissipation within your nervous system, and this accelerates the rate at which negative vibes flow through you and exit your system via some kind of radiative cooling process currently not understood by science. Practice taking cold showers without stalling or flinching, or eating relatively hot peppers without resisting or letting the pain get to you.
- Concentration
a) It is hard to tell “what you do” to increase concentration. As far as I can tell it requires a lot of skillful rhythmicity that guides awareness in a way that prevents its falling away.
b) A rough metric for concentration might be: amount of energy of flow that is in phase, in harmonic relationship, and synchronized. Thus, for any level of concentration there are many possible “solutions”. Only on the very high-levels of concentration do experiences become constrained to only a few types. The combinatorial space becomes smaller as concentration increases.
The holy grail here would be the creation of a high-entropy alloy that blends together all seven factors. It’s a bootstrapping process. As you start developing some of the factors, you can use them to weld the flow in such a way that developing the other factors becomes easier. Then you can start developing two or more factors simultaneously (e.g. “tranquil equanimity” or “joyous concentration”). In time, one climbs the gradient that fortifies the presence of the factors in the mind, making it a home for wholesome qualia computing. More resonant network."

'''abcdef. Deconstruction'''
Packets of consonant negentropy that when sent as messages are smoothening and dissolving bayesian markov blanket beliefs. The sharper (asymmetric) they are, the more they are something like dissonant knotted traumatic structures on the spectrum that can be healed by untangling.
What all can be deconstructed?
Senses can be modelled by 6 dimensions, different interacting fields: inner and outer visual, auditory and other senses in one field that include energy body, touch, taste, smell, feelings, thoughts. On jhanas or 5-MeO-DMT they can collapse to one field.

Enter nondual awareness by objectifying, relaxing, trying to locate and dissolving the center of experience. Notice that the awareness, not the self from the head, is conscious of contents of awareness. Everything is made out of clusters of tangled sensations that can be untagled. Each sensation is coming out of void, vibrating, vanishing into the void. Contracting and expanding at the same time.[How to Do Nondual Vipashyana - YouTube Nondual vypashanya guided meditation by Michael Taft] [Jailbreak!

'''abcdef. Center of awareness jumping out of your head/neck/heart/gut into vast space'''
Find a hole in the back of your head/neck/heart/gut and make your center of awareness jump out of it into vast space. It's a very efficient way of literally making your brain activitiy jump out of your default mode network (resulting in quieting your thinking mind) into the central executive network making you more able to dissolve contractions (symmetrify asymetries) (decontruct generative model's evolutionary useful structures) from this point of nondual centerless awareness.[Finding Space and Freedom - YouTube Holes guided meditation by Michael Taft]
'''abcdef. Jhanas as slowly lowering the information content of experience'''
Mind induced build up of joy. Pure loving perfect symmetrical flow! Symmetrification process in brain symmetrifying all other processes.
Focus on breath. Slow down breath. Smooth out breath sensations. Learn to see pleasantness in breath. Note it as many times per second as possible. Learn to see pleasantness in pleasantness itself. Stack this in feedback loop way into exponential explosion.
That is first Jhanas, there is nine of them:
1st: Delightful Sensations, gladened mind, liking your experience
2nd: Joy: Cultivating rapturing joy by focusing on the pleasantness of breath
3rd: Contentment: Cultivating happiness in the background by being satisfied with what is
4th: Utter peacefulness: Letting go off joy and just resting in happiness
5th: Infinity of space by "imagining" or realizing absence of boundaries such as inflating baloon that eventualy pops
6th: Infinity of consciousness by becoming that space
7th: No-thingness by focusing on the nothingness of that space
8th: Neither perception nor non-perception by turning of all mental faculties, going beyond nothingness
9th: Cessation by turning off consciousness itself, restarting your whole nervous system, turning of all your proceeses in your generative model and blinking out of existence, sense of linear time of the story of your experience breaks down.[How to Jhana — with Michael Taft - YouTube How to Jhana guided meditation by Michael Taft] [How Is Jhana Like and Iggy Pop Concert? - YouTube How Is Jhana Like and Iggy Pop Concert? guided meditation by Michael Taft]
'''abcdef. Resting by doing nothing'''
Anytime mind enters a thought, jump out of it into vast still spacious awareness and rest in it.
"Sit down and do nothing.
That’s it. Sit down and quite intentionally do nothing at all. Now keep on doing it.
However, most people need a little more instruction than that, so let’s unpack it a bit. Even though the meditation is called Do Nothing, you’re actually doing a little tiny bit of something: you’re paying attention to the feeling of doing something.
It doesn’t matter where your mind goes. It can go to all sorts of distraction, and that’s fine. You are not trying to meditate, focus, or concentrate in any way.
You’re simply noticing when you feel that you’re doing something and letting go of that.
If it feels like you’re getting caught up in a thought, let go of that. Don’t just sit there following thoughts, planning, evaluating, etc. That is considered to be doing something. Just let go of doingt hat.
If it feels like you’re getting caught up in an emotion, let go of that.
If it feels like you’re getting caught up in meditating, let go of that.
If it feels like you’re struggling to let go, let go of that.
If it feels like you’re constricting or tightening in your body, your emotions, or your mind, let go of that.
Just keep relaxing away from all tightening, constriction, or sense that you’re doing anything.
(Don’t) do this meditation for as long as you’d like. Make sure your awareness is bright and you are not fading or sleepy. Eventually the mind feels very spacious, open, and relaxed, but also bright, clear, and vivid.
Important Note: Over time I’ve noticed that English speakers have two ways of understanding the verb “to let go.” One meaning is “to release.” The second meaning is “to get rid of” or “to push away.” Notice that the first of these is effortless, while the second implies a lot of effort. When I write “let go of that,” I’m talking about effortlessly releasing. You’re not trying to get rid of something, pushing anything away, or making a big effort."

'''abcdef. Solving trauma by healing the exile in loving nondual awareness'''
In order to allow and unify everything in the brain, some dissonant patterns in the bodymind can be so strongly destabilizing that they need healing.
[[File:Trauma.jpeg|500px|Alt text]]
"To heal a trauma response is to activate it at the same time as another schema that contradicts the trauma schema's assumptions in its own frame. in this context "schema" roughly means "pattern stored in bodymind memory that you learned to execute in response to something". When you trigger a schema it gets retrieved and you automatically act on it. This is often useful learning and sometimes extremely maladaptive. In juxtaposing the 2 you unlock the first schema for a ~5 hour window where it can be updated permanently.
The unlocking mechanism is precise and detailed but there's an infinite variety of ways of finding & retrieving the trauma schema, identifying & retrieving an appropriate contradicting schema, persuading the two schemas to juxtapose, providing new information to update on. Any given "standard" technique may or may not work for you depending on exactly what your trauma schemas are and "where in the bodymind" you've stored them, but there will be some way of unlocking it.
-
Identify an emotional belief
-
Dig for the original situation in which the emotional learning occurred that formed the belief
-
Make the inherent assumptions explicit in a non-judgmental way (i have to do X because of Y, or otherwise Z will happen)
-
Keep that belief in the foreground while presenting it with counterfactual evidence (e.g. Y is no longer true; better yet: i have not done X, but Z didn't actually happen this time)
-
Cognitive dissonance
-
Updated emotional belief system" [https://twitter.com/captain_mrs/status/1633841527951859714 Unlocking The Emotional Brain]
New data can be contradicting the old ones with opposite scenario (different environment), love (interpersonal actual measured expression or "fabricated" one, MDMA or love and kindness to self, to/from others, to/from universe[Mother Buddha Love - YouTube Mother Buddha Love guided meditation by Michael Taft], meditation can help), or breakage of spacetime or self/other duality (transcendental deconstructive meditation or psychedelics can help).
In bayesian brain its a bayesian belief (learned neurons' correlations with its environment stored in the neurons and connections between them) update using new sensory data making the old generative model obsolete, phase shift in the parameter configuration space hopefully to a more smooth symmetrical consonant dynamics.
"While there may be infinite parts within you, there are three main types: firefighters, managers, and exiles.
The firefighter parts are protectors that are activated when a trigger is present. An example of this might look like being reminded of a painful memory and using a behavior like substance use to put out the “fire” of the pain.
The manager parts protect you by managing situations through intense planning to do whatever they can to avoid something that might bring you deep pain.
Both the firefighter and manager, according to the theory, work to keep the exile from emerging and flooding you with memories of pain and trauma."[https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-ifs-therapy-internal-family-systems-therapy-5195336 Internal Family Sytsems]
Inside everyone is a complex ecosystem of trees and flowers and animals that interact and influence one-another, they grow together, the sun shines on them and the breeze blows through them, rain seeps into the ground.
"In parallel, it’s important to briefly mention the role that subagents typically have in us. Namely, what Romeo Stevens calls the “Mr. Meeseeks interpretation of subagents” (Hi I’m Mr. Meeseeks! I see your grandmother is emotionally abusive. I’ll pretend to be her inside your mind so that you can predict what she will do next and thus avoid getting harmed. Let me know when she’s gone so I can go PUFF.). The subagents are created to achieve a goal, they don’t really like existing, but will continue to hang in there until they’re convinced the goal has been met. The subagents are spun up in order to accomplish goals that would normally require you to spend a lot of attention but that cannot be simply offloaded to muscle memory (e.g. like driving a car). Typical examples are things like the response one may have to living in an environment with very negative people (say, dark triad personalities) where you need to spin up subagents that behave like them so that you can predict their next move. In cases of PTSD, it may be that part of the problem is that one created a lot of rather negative subagents (of people, situations, dynamics, actual physical hazards, etc.) and that as a collective they reinforce each other.
Here loving-kindness meditation can be enormously helpful. Essentially what you do is visualize a container of very positive benevolent and high-valence feelings (call it unconditional love, God, primordial goodness, Buddhamind, etc. – or whatever really resonates in your inner world simulation). You then tell the story that subagents come out of that container and once they achieve their goals they go back to it in order to “merge with love” once again. You can even explain this to the subagents, and they can feel the sense of relief that comes when they finally achieve union with this primordial love. Gently guide them towards it. And if you do this over and over, you will in fact be cleaning up a lot of subagents lingering implicit in the field, until you achieve a smooth field with high-valence and a non-dual feel."[Aligning DMT Entities: Shards, Shoggoths, and Waluigis | Qualia Computing Aligning DMT Entities: Shards, Shoggoths, and Waluigis][Healing the Exile in Nondual Awareness - YouTube Healing the Exile in Nondual Awareness guided meditation by Michael Taft][Contacting & Integrating Shadow Material - YouTube Contacting & Integrating Shadow Material guided meditation by Michael Taft]
'''abcdef. Changing one's mind aka construction'''
In this state, you are more prone to dissolving, transforming, or strenghtening your fundamental priors, as cortical hiearchy is more deconstructed.
Anytime there are discomfort or pain sensations, you can repeat to yourself "suffering equals pain times resistence, purification equals pain times equaminity" and I let the pain fully flow through you without blocking or denying it like a terminator and nothing can stop you. What you resist persists.
Meaningful life includes mode of being, mode of doing, and mode of becoming.
Acting from fullness, wanting to compassionately add to the whole we are part of, instead of taking away from it to fill the emptiness (in the western nihilist sense) in the heart.
Enough dose of conflicting data pressure might penetrates the statistical hull of the stable belief or world view structure and phase change to a different configuration of system of beliefs might happen.
You can uninstall before mostly hidden from you irritation and fear conditionings by looking for exiles in your mind and letting them express themselves. You can desconstruct them or update them. Show them that they aren't needed anymore or that they can serve a better function. Usually they feel scared or hurt because of some past experience. Lubing them with love using love and kindness and gratefulness can help. Seeing the positive in the negative. Going through the episodic memory again by noticing that the environment actually wanted good for you, let it be people or the nurturing of the universe. Learning to see perfectness in every moment as part of a holistic mandala, accepting it.[Everything in it's Right Place Meditation - YouTube>
Accepting you as you are is interconnecting with yourself. (Ideally balance between acceptance and change) Love and kindness and prosocial data interconnects you with others. Noticing the perfectness, love and caring of mother nature, accepting the world as it is, interconnects you with the world and reduces the need to change that generates desires, fear and stress. Death meditations dissolve the fear of mortality.[hNot-Death Sangha - 14 March, 2020 - YouTube Death Sangha guided meditation by Michael Taft]
You can notice something that you think is true. Some concept, some duality and find a middle way. Middle waying everything and metarational empirical scientific method of constructing models destroys all dogmas (defined as 100% certain beliefs) which liberates all mental constructions from absolute certainity.
If you want to engineer wellbeing, swim in estatic mental models, they share something in common, symmetry. Biology includes hardwired selective confirmation bias as a way to navigate error gradients, so under symmetry theory of valence it makes sense to navigate your selection bias towards symmetrical representations, which itself is a bias. Synthesis of maximizing predictivity and maximizing valence seems to be the optimal from what I've gathered. Nonduality is essencially about symmetries. Ultimate god mental construction includes everything, allows everything. Ultimate reality mental construction includes no and all concepts, nothing, everything are true, false, both and neither. It's always a mental model so abstract, so low constrain/structure/information which generates all models, a mental representation with the highest amount of internal symmetries. You can install those by listening to content about nonduality.
Someone who doesn't care about science and not wanting to spread information with less predictibility power can go for just wellbeing. There's danger that one gets stuck in something symbolic there though as one doesn't have the scientific metalens from my perspective. In a way we all go towards wellbeing using what we already have in our heads.
Compassion feels good. Merging with the deity of compassion feels amazing and it reinforces your nervous system to help all beings. If you want to go this path, you can. Imagine [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FqViREYXsAEf0nF?format=jpg&name=900x900 enlightened deity of compassion] on meditation in love and kindness context radiating love towards all beings and merge with it.

Psychedelics multiply the amount of consciousness, expand the mind, dissolve, strengten or mutate existing beliefs. 5-MeO-DMT adds extremely intense hyperattractor of higly symmetrical consonant (or dissonant) free high energy pocket of negentropy that result in ultimate neural annealing. DMT creates clusters of coherence. Stimulants make more specialized hyperfixated flow. Dissociatives remove the amount of consciousness, which can be useful for dissolving being stuck in an attractor as well. Cannabis also brings random connections. They bring you out of our usual thinking mind.

'''abc. Solving the Meta Crisis with the Meaning Crisis by Social System Optimized for Transparency and Happiness'''
Meaning crisis is valence, interconnection, unity, experiental intensity, flow, internal and external value alignment, feeling values directly, crisis. Fundamental core priors aka value realization. Selfactualization, selfrealization. Putting the self in the other. Achieving internal consonance of subject and object mental model. Lubricating fundamental priors such as reminder of ontology and values (that's function of rituals and there is less of them now) and activating them by action directly feels meaningful because it creates very symmetrical dynamics in our minds. We flourish in spaces driven by our values, not instrumental goals or preferences. Meaning is a process, such as creative exploration, deep fundamental work, being voulnerable, or local farming. Advanced meditation nicely kind of optionally sidesteps this by creating unconditional always active nondual fundamental prior that loves all experience. Politics should speak more from values instead of instrumental goals and preferences for creating more unity, less polarization, of population. Social media should maximize, satisfy our values (meaning) more rather than engagement and hijacking our attentional reward mechanisms in maladaptive ways.
Landscape of equally potentially effective solutions to the meaning crisis sharing the same structure, first definition, as I said before: Meaning is the sense of interconnectedness with us, others and everything.
Rebuilding meaning group maped out the space of possible meanings corresponding to our values that people can have, such as deep work, creative brain storming exploration, voulnerable spaces, local farming, doing art,... - around 4000 of them depending on how detailed they are needed. This is and can be futher used to redesign social media to maximize meaning more than engagement (as they seem to be one main cause of the unhapiness and mental discomfort of the youth) and to build retreats or social communities where there are spaces in a train optimized for fullfilling our values and creation of deep social connections. They have a language model as a chatbot that can figure out around 5 of your value cards by giving you questions better than humans can. Facebook has already tuned the objective functions of their machine learning algorithms to focus slightly more on meaning rather than just engagement. [https://www.rebuildingmeaning.org/ REBUILDING SOCIETY ON MEANING]
By talking and behaving in the language of meaning aka our fundamental values instead of conceptual labels, boxes as identities that polarize us instead, society would feel more synchronized, united, synchronized, on avarage. Which could also result in less economical inequality. Different political ideologies, religions, or philosophihies have much more in common when one focuses on meaning instead of instrumental goals and preferences. In a society full of value realizations in space trains there is much less friction. Tribalism will always be there, this is about reducing the friction as much as possible. Happier societies seem to experience less friction among today's world and through history. Values are okay as long as they dont destroy values of others in terms of wars and killing. To design this in social media and systems: Instead of closed communities on Discord or totally open pages on Facebook, instead of closed communities in villages or corporate consumerism, you can have something in middle: interacting communities in space trains designed to fullfill meaning, for example mutual creative deep work on shared topics such as the science of wellbeing with the artist community, where everyone gives feedback to eachother as they produce, where the line between producing and consuming blurs. Getting inspriation from the structure of science: System of retreat makers giving ideas to eachother and designing retreats, testing them, making them for groups of friends.
Each value corresponds to a need for community where this value can be realized. One practical intervention can be asking the population about their values using a questionare, more efficiently with the chatbot I menationed. Ask them if they are fullfilled, or analyzing what existing communities for what values exist and what are missing, and creating them. Being a vector in he societal space that pushes the emergence of communities, as some are inhabited by introverts a lot and they have lower chances of creating communities.
What synchronizes us? Big cluster of people such as hippies or nondual philosophers or (epistemological) anarchists seem to resonate on the value of the sense of freedom. everyone uses different physical or mental tools to get the same kind of internal value actualize itself in the world.
If we really wanna unify absolutely everyone, we are all trying to reduce uncertainity about our sensory data, as Free Energy Principle postulates, or we all try to reduce internal dissonance, as Symmetry Theory of Valence postulates. We try to reach stable happiness using the mental and physical tools that we know.
Redirecting society from empirically disproven belief that if you have more money than you need for the cost of your living that it will make you happier. Popularizizing everything I'm writing in this book in the culture instead. Denormalizing chronic stress that breaks down everything in the body and mind.
Connection with us can be created by working on us, analyzing us, training to love us, inner spiritual work.
Connection with others is created by community that resonates with us culturally (philosophy, ideology,...), couple of clouse friends and significiant other we resonate with across as many scales as possible in psychology, not just physical attraction.
Connection with the universe and everything is the sense of being part of something greater, something transcendental. Paradigm of emergence or god consciousness. Siblings in the wound of creation on groundless ground, interconnected beyond space and time. Cultivating flow, harmony with what is in the present moment.
Social media seems to destroy those structures as the lizard brain cannot tell the difference between social media and real world interconnection, and also atomization via globalization happens leading to the destruction of stable local communities as models in our social graphs. Killing our attention also destroys this.
Finding the balance between accepatnce and change, respecting existing structures but pushing change towards greater sum of wellbeing of people. Satisfy as much needs of people as possible with the least friction possible mathematically. Take in account behavioral psychology and evolution - people are diverse with diverse needs influenced by nature and nurture, social hiarchiers are emergent, trust and connection between people is hard to scale. Being ok with less technologic/economic progress for more wellbeing progress (destressing) Ideologies are too ideological and specialized for certain types of people or behaviors, we are more diverse systems. Making society more liberated and compassionate through culture and politics (coordination), sense of connection with others leads to more happiness and coordination - nondual ideologies, meditation.
Predictions for the short term future:
My take on GPT-4 and AGI and other existencial risks. I'm taking in account all perspectives. People expect doom, utopia, singularity, progress, nothing. I think truth is in the middle. AI technology will transform society. There will be pain and happiness, but not collapse. What do you think?
By trying to follow all possible perspectives around AGI and existencial risks, my nervous system oscillates between all possible predictions depending on what I'm exploring. :D
Since people are extra bad at long term predictions and doomers, worshippers, or hippies have always existed in similar situations regarding technological revolutions, potential existential risks, or religious fabrications, it's interesting to watch and ride on the train or calm the people that are freaking out. :D
I think the economic singularity or misaligned AGI destroying humanity is probably a bit much, but I had a dream where the singularity visited me it was a mega religious experience.
My most stable prediction is: it will be similar to when a lot of jobs were automated in the industrial revolution, in practice a lot of jobs will fall away through AI automation, but not something along the lines of everything collapsing or everyone dying, maybe it will boost capitalism further? If Uncle Ted Kaczynski could see that. D: There's going to be chaos from people getting traumatized by the language models like Sydney or people getting hurt physically from robots, but I don't think it's going to be totally uncontrollable. AI will be a mega useful tool in both good and bad hands, the transhumanism type (AI therapists, medical research, VR, art, creativity, robopets, creating happiness?) or China type (social credit system, cyberweapon propaganda, bioweapons?).
I tend to think that society is slowly going towards collapse from more internal stress due to a ton of factors ala Holy Roman empire, but I'm trying to ground myself there as I suspect it's overblown via negative bias and doom ideas I explore here and there, and its being mixed with an optimistic positive bias that sees utopia in the future ala transhumanism. But who knows, I think it will be something in the middle, maybe for the worse when one looks at mental health stats for the young from hospitals or the economy or the climate or war risks. :smile: But we tend to crawl out of almost every destabilizing situation through adaptation. There will definitely be changes, there will be pain and happiness, but I don't foresee an apocalypse or collapse that strongly.
Imagine China's ugraded supercapistalist AGI government that is misaligned from original autoritarian capitalist goal because we're terrible at even encoding the goals properly in the neural networks and it would accidently start maximizing wellbeing of people! :D
Predictions for the long term future and how to solve it:
Applying statistical physics flavoured evolutionary game theory to global social system to navigate the interconnected landscape of existencial risks for humanity in order to find evolutionary stable strategic longterm solutions of not selfdecostructing ourselves soon with stuff like nuclear war, climate change or bio/cyberweapons because of caring for individual short term safety instead of global long term safety.
Existencial risks are negative sum games. Climate change, AI development, microplastics, arms races, nuclear/bio/cyber weapons. One agent increases his security and decreases security of other agents as they evolutionarily compete. Agents dont trust eachother and assume worst case scenario, let's not get technologically and economically handicapped relative to competition and create climate change regulations. Nobody wants destruction and extinsion but those underlying dynamics emergently happen as a result of a coordination failure.
There is increasing amount of existencial risks with increasing probabilities lately. Existencial risks leading to collapse have always been a thing, like the Holy Roman empire, but it was much more local, we are more globalized now with interconnected dependant global supply chains and memes spread more globally, so the whole planetary life support system is overall more fragile.
Free nature resources extraction by exponential technology so that everyone grows exponentially (superpositive sum games) and global monetary ecosystem as solution to no WW3. That might be now breaking with NATO vs Russia plus China as we're reaching the limits of what we can extract from nature that doesn't have enough time to regenerate the extracted comodities so rivalities to get others' commodities through force to grow become similarly plausible options again.
Who survives by Universal Darwinism is who didnt get eaten, who won wars and had economic growth. We have radically more distributed warfare. We're on fragile interconnected network grid. Metacrisis: We're on selfterminating race.
Fragmentation of our world view is the underlying problem leading to our problems in society, ability to identify with one ingroup and go into rivaly with another outgroup, optimizing particular metric while externaliting harm to another metrics, the ability to benefit the near term while damaging the long term, all of those are special cases of percieving parts rather than wholes, which ended up actually damaging the wholes and parts themselves through the interdependence of parts.
We must take on account all technological, environmental, economical, geopolitical variables. Clusters of people compete for exponentially growing population resource growth through wars or cooperation in terms of power.
Thanks to industrial revolution we have nash equilibrium with nukes and globalized economy, cold war. Those are more monitorable through satelites. More than exponentially growing democratized bio/cyberweapons with linear nature resources might destroy this.
Two attractors that the society is heading to:
Decentraliztaion - less regulatory control over groups with exponential tech leading to higher chances of existencial risks, but more freedom to do stuff, ancap dystopia?
Centralization - can catch and deal with the landscape of existencial risks but too much regulations, potential for authoritian regime, centralized power, uneven conditions, it's not clear that what will be maximized is power of the top class instead of survival of the species anyway
Evolutionary competition happens either way, between clusters of centralized groups with exponential tech maximizing their short term safety at the cost of long term global safety because of finite resources and for living stable conditions of the environment.
Solving multipolar traps:
What do these two attractors of catasrophies and dystopia have in common? Distrust, opaqity, secretness between agents... Democracy aka parcipitatiry governance doesn't work with secret goverment information about the state not shared to citizents because of fear of information disadvantage with rivals.
Potential solution: Full trust and transparency between agents' doings/insides? Sweden military seems to partially do this, with less money being spent on making information secret and it seems to work. It can lead to information disadvantage, less asymmetries generating power over the other. Forced global transparency sidesteps this as everyone gets the same disadvantage resulting in more global safety with less overall tension. Absolute symmetry? Results in global coordination on global survival? If only people implicitly synchronized. Increasingly smaller actors can use destructive technology in increasingly destructive ways.
How to create global survillance to manage the interconnected landscape of existencial risks that's not dystopic Orwell style? China is banning polarization technologies (social media) for example, regulating memeplexes. Honestly how synchronized they are is sometimes fascinating. But from our point of view and many of them its very dystopic. Global existencial risks are still a thing from negative sum games between superpowers.
Shifting society to language of unified meaning and values instead of polarizing identity boxes.
We dont want short term loosing to other agents or long term selftermination.
We dont want cascading catasrophies (climate change, weaponized technology,...) and clear dystopia (asymmetries of power, almost everyone has almost no freedom)
exponential tech -> decentralized power -> coordination failures, benefiting agent's safety short term at the cost of everyone, multipolar traps -> increasing catasrophies -> Amazon versus Microsoft's military ancap wars as there's no monopoly on violence (police)
But also:
exponential tech -> centralized power -> AI monitoring sensors everywhere -> potential for Orwell autocratic feudalistic dystopia
Sweden: Assuming rivals will probably find out secret goverment information anyway -> not investing any resource in hiding opaqueness -> population are what's going on in the country -> population has more trust in government -> less money spent on champaigning and convincing people of things, more emergent coordination, various goverment deparments and military know more what eachother is doing (less information transmission blockages, more coherence) and can more easily coordinate, corruption is also more seen thanks to the transparency and can be dealt with -> some information asymmetry disadvantage related to other rival countries but a lot of other disadvantages, different local minima valley in the adaptive landscape
Too much information though leads to not everyone being able to process it so it doesn't matter of its transparent or not, information singularity, can ve processed via computational compression: AI summarization for example.
It seems that something similar Is happening in Czechia, the new Czech president literally has a YouTube podcast.
The trust in president got higher here but the trust in government apparently lowered (it seems that there are more left leaning people in the population who's values aren't that represented in the elected government because of bad weird rules and bad luck in last elections thanks to formings of coalitions to succesfully take down a populist corrupt oligarch)
I love how internal symmetrification of information works for both the mind and the nation to achieve better health Better communications between government deparments is same as better communication between brain centers
For USA:
More strategic military capacity could emerge our of transparency -> leading to Russia and China trying to do the same thing to not lose the multipolar trap of racing to the top of transparency rather than race to the bottom of opaqueness -> more potential for international agreement and fundamentally adressing the multipolar trap aggressively better
Multipolar traps are scenarios where the things that work well for individuals locally are directly against the global well-being. Forced transparencies strategies making them more capable of winning: International satelites, Opensource
This culture more oriented to peacefulness could beat the counterculture? Becoming more warring without becoming more warring in all the most problematic ways Could this symmetry voulnerability create much more easier conditions for negative actors tho On the other hand open source software could be prefixed by collective of positive actors before negative actors finding out Decreasing pathological competition within the system Maintaining adequate strategic capacity More positive sum games Something that wont make one agent's start of a cascade make him not lose to other agents and influences the rest of the world
Enlightened country is nice but it will still die to global issue of climate change thanks to USA/Russia/China
Nature of what it makes it win isnt externaliting harm or driving arms races Obseleting destructive game theory And winning at some fundamental game theory at the same time More transparency -> more coordination and less collective action failures, less incentive evolutionary pressure for psychopaths, sociopaths, narrcisists, worse conditions for hiding the stuff that one is doing
Transparency is hard to scale because of those negative actors Collective intelligence technologies such as interconnected global internet communication to the rescue? Noticing perverse incentives, accounting them and externalities, and creating progressively better incensives and more capable detterence to align the motivation of individual agents with the whole better Some of the exponential computational technologies that portend the fastest and worst existencial risks in many ways also portend possibility for better coordination systems Not AGI singleton disintermediating humans and running the world But AI and other capacities being to fascillitate collective intelligence. AI not making decisions by itself but processes of collective intelligences of humans making it.
People voting yes no on binary propositions where both sides of the propositions suck. If it goes through it benefits something and harms something else. That kind of proposition is designed badly and doesnt factor how interconnected everything is so they yes no cant not polarize the population, that would be a stupid system. Before making the proposition, doing sense making what are all the interconnected things, what are all the values you take as design constrains to go through a better proposition crafting process of what is the best synergestic satisfier with the least theory of tradeoffs possible and what are better voting systems than binary that inherently polarize the population. More education in topics, incentifying more ability to influence those topics How to solve information singularity, more information than anyone can process? More journal articles on a topic than any expert can read so nobody can be an expert on anything. How to solve it? Make AIs run the world? Merge with AIs?
Value systems have to bind guide and direct the technology and influence social systems that create the capacity to bind guide and direct technology and markets in the way that they are not currently doing it. Technology is a new capacity and that capacity if rightly directed can make new things possible. Steer global society away from selfdestruction towards consciousness utopia!
Choices that take our attention in phones or capitalism hijack our basic needs instead of aligning with our highest goals. Use wisdom to develop wisdom in people through designing technology.
Can we make the types of transparency the types of incentive alignment the types of capacity for deterrence that would exist at small tribal type scale possible at much larger scales, where the intcrease in effective coordination starts to be more effective, reducing huge amount of waste and duplication and failures of those kinds. What makes this thing adaptive and selective in game theoretic situation is also what makes it healthy in terms of wellbeing of people inside and relative to eachother.[https://civilizationemerging.com/ Daniel Schmachtenberger]

'''abc. Artificial General Intelligence and Alignment'''
Andres mapped out the space of clusters of human emotions and transition functions between them with data science. Rebuilding meaning group mapped out the space of possible meanings corresponding to our values encoded in a language model. Put this space of our values into existing AGI language models. Encode it in maths used to model biological systems as fundamental priors corresponding to neural correlates and synchronize it with biology inspired selforganizing AGI - Selforganizing optical spiking transformers?
Can we take the mathematical models on how people synchronize in neuroscience (vibing by same resonant wave modes) and use them to build artificial agents such that they synchronize with us. That could constrain their statespace of solutions to more values aligned attractors. It seems to me that mathematics of Active Inference combined with Connectome Harmonics is a very promising path towards aligned AGI. Because we can literally copy the brain (consonance, synchrony of bayesian values) as the same maths is used for brain and AI modelling.
Every cell is a reinforcement learning agent on its own, not just neuron cells. But neurons communicate in long distances with axons like telegraph.

'''abc. Mental constructions'''
'''abcd. Truth'''
What is truth?
In the feelings of something being deeply true: The more overall consonant/symmetrical the dynamics (that the mental state corresponds to) is, the truer it feels, the more the insight wants to stick (how the definition interlocks with the whole mental framework is important)
different kind of proofs/truths: philosophers: it feels good mathematicians: its derived from these axioms under these rewriting rules scientists: all (or most) (or in just some context) empirical data supports this model, so its true (or partially true) (or true just in this context) until its not engineers: boom! it fookin works, i got Doom to run on this alien computer using selfconstructed biology inspired bioelectromagnetic selforganizing system with adaptive hiearchical crossscale harmonic bayesian beliefs with goals and actions 🥳
What seems true to us can be seen as sensory patterns that satisfy our learned neural classifiers aka energy sinks the most, that generate the highest positive valence (consonant dynamics) in the mental framework (background resonant wave modes) that we are inhabiting, that we annealed to, what software we or the environment installed to us.[Subjective signal strength distinguishes reality from imagination | Nature Communications Subjective signal strength distinguishes reality from imagination]
If the world model feels stronger, we assign world as ontologicaly primal. If the self model feels stronger, we assign consciousness as ontologicaly primal. If its equal or one signal, it merges or transcends.
You have a thesis and an antithesis and then Hegel's idea is you have a synthesis which is a kind of higher order truth that understands how those relate in a way that neither of them do and its at a higher order of complexity. The first part would be: Can I steal man each of these, can i argue each one well enough that the proponents of it are like: "Totally you got that!" and not just argue it rhetorically, but can I inhabit it where i can try to see and feel the world the way someone seeing and feeling the world that way would, because once i do then, I don't want to screw those people, because there's truth in it, and i'm not going to go back to war with them, I'm going to go to finding solutions, it could actually work at a higher order. If i don't go to a higher order, then there's war, the higher order approach can generate cooperation, coordination, peace, love, friendship, connection, mutual understanding, empathy, through complexity.

“It seems plain and self-evident, yet it needs to be said: the isolated knowledge obtained by a group of specialists in a narrow field has in itself no value whatsoever, but only in its synthesis with all the rest of knowledge and only inasmuch as it really contributes in this synthesis toward answering the demand, ‘Who are we?'” – Erwin Schrödinger in Science and Humanism (1951)

'''abc. Final contemplation about physicalist and mental theories of everything and oneness'''
The deeper you go into deflatory more predictive models about empirical data, the less intuitive (comprehensible for our usual by evolution preihstalled mental data structures) one becomes when trying to communicate it to others ((ontology agnostic) quantum mechanics, Amplituhedron)
In this book i mostly reason from ontology agnostic classical thermodynamics of bayesian statistics, but adding some more Quantum theory (Chris Fields) or Amplituhedron (going beyond spacetime, which is not fundamental but emergent there) would make it extremely hard grasp for the classical neural classifiers in our mind. Its all just in different contexts useful labels for models for predicting data, and their validity is being supported by empirical data.
In a certain lens when constructing models we are approximating the brain dynamics trying to predict our sensory data and those brain dynamics have an extreme complexity and the more you try to describe the nature of experience, the more iffeable it seems. We may never fully know the experiental or scientific truth as we may never construct a model that predicts all empirical data.
Easiest theory of everything for free is taking the finite set of all measurments that we got recorded so far and create input output lookup table from it and that's it. Then slowly deflate and compress it by various symmetries. Machine learning is also helping us find patterns in dynamical systems. There may be different theories of everything, with many isomoprhisms, and their count depends on the amount of abstraction of the different theories of everything. It's all many lenses useful for different domains going from different angles.
All of this is for engineering useful set of interacting data structures in our experience. Ontology agnostic bayesianism aka metarationality doesn't care what is fundamental, if everything is matter or consciousness or both. Freedom from fundamentality of fundamental symbolic concepts "is fundamental" including freedom from this freedom! Philosophical problems as linguistic confusion? Everything is just a nebulous dream-like rainbow-like mental construction. No source, destination, concepts. Groundless ground. Emptiness is empty too. If you think you understand emptiness then you don't understand emptiness. In another lens this mental construction is the most useful one for generating constant sense of liberation when it comes to concepts. For futher liberation do some meditation. "Truth" is end of mind, end of knowledge, and that's freedom. Metaalgorithm that when applied to all mental constructions creates the most satisfying total mental framework as it creates symmetries between all dualities, language, concepts. It dissolves all abstract thought in general.

quantum fluctations being the source of free energy is interesting train of thought but sadly doesnt work yea RationalWiki/wiki/Free_energy_(pseudoscience) RationalWiki/wiki/Zero-point_energy "There have been speculations that usable energy might be extracted using this energy as a source using something called the Casimir effect, but this is almost certainly pseudoscience, as it would require using an extremely large collector device similar in some ways to an electronic capacitor, but much larger and thinner, with a vacuum dielectric; there is no knowledge currently extant that can allow the creation of such a collector cell, and even if it was possible, the zero point energy even in a volume the size of the Earth is so small as to be fairly useless."

I'm curious why EM models of consciousness tend to not talk about other forces in the standard model. I suppose because they're much less common. What if they're also part of the consciousness dynamics equation as electromagnetism is everywhere in biological systems, but something still has to hold atoms together (strong force), certain radioactive isotopes are present in biological systems and decay (weak force), gravity is around every mass, and forces are interactions of matter so matter is needed in the equation as well.

The World Is Running Out of Data to Feed AI, Experts Warn : ScienceAlert synthetic data to the rescue, and next optimizations in LLMs will probably be to do more with less data, getting closer in performance to how the human brain works
Developing AGSI poses lots of harmful risks and potential failure modes for our system that may create suffering for all of sentience before or after AGSI is reached (opression, wars, extinction...), but if we get it right, there is a big potential for future where all of sentience flourishes with wellness. Risks will always exist, its about minimizing them in the aggregate. If we dont develop AGSI soon, there might be higher probability of getting killed by other factors, like nukes, biorisk, nanotech risk, climate change, natural causes, or getting into opressive dystopia or chaotic breakdown full of tribal wars, with radical social, economic, technological or intelligence inequality, which itself might even be accelerated by AI, but all tools are dual use aka omni use, it might also be the other way around if we direct it correctly into a future where all sentient beings, maybe even beyond humans, flourish in wellness!

Mathematics is the ultimate symbolic strict compression language
Every thing is a computationally reducible pocket of the Rualid.
What pullback attractor in the statespace of consciousness, or statespace of generative models, or slice of Ruliad, or infinity groupoid, or dynamics of interacting and merging Markov blankets, topological pockets, physics, information, or what part of platonic mathematics, or God, nature, ieaffble, or all possible ontologies, or imaginings, constructions, are "you" inhabiting? STEPHEN WOLFRAM + KARL FRISTON - OBSERVERS [SPECIAL EDITION] - YouTube
Every thing corresponds to some (quasi)stable mathematical model analyzable and predictable by all sorts of mathematics encoding physical systems evolving in (relativistic) (quantum) spacetime across interacting scales using stochastic dynamical systems theory using machinery from classical+statistical+relativistic+quantum mechanics, from particle to wave to fluid mechanics to markov blankets to cybernetic complex systems. We can take the statespace of things that science analyzes and map out the statespace of mathematics used to analyze them all, and semantic content framing it, automatically by scanning all of science information on the internet using scraping and data summarizing and compressing AI in a giant lookup table or or semantic map or fuzzy nested metagraph with nodes as things and (fuzzy) relations encoding similarityness (what math equations or semantics are used), inclusion, connection, hiearchies, causality etc. Disciplines as evolutionary attractors in scientific progress can be mapped out by semantic similarity and dimensional clustering. All of this could be added as knowledge database for scientific AGI.

The Friedmann equations are fundamental formulas in cosmology that describe the expansion of the universe. They show how factors like the density of matter, the curvature of space, and the cosmological constant (a measure of the energy density of empty space) influence this expansion. In simpler terms, these equations tell us how the universe grows and evolves over time based on what it's made of and the properties of space itself. Think of them as cosmic rules that dictate how the universe stretches and evolves from the Big Bang to its future state. Friedmann equations - Wikipedia

Qualia is the most general concept
Visualize book as a tree
Linguists make language more structured than it actually is from a statistics perspective
the few bad parts of trips (two out of three i had alone) gave me sooo much myself
there are different types of bad trips, but in the ones i had, there's something in how the mind shows you (shoves into your face) veeeery directly and clearly in raw form what actually is wrong in your life/mind and you see much more clearly what changes in behavior, thinking and goals you should do
it creates much more inner alignment as emotional part of the brain, and planning one, and one encoding the self and so on, much more communicate together and figure out whats currently the biggest collective systemic burden and create a plan together
literally jumping out of bad local minima into a better one
it can mean quantizing gravity, unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics, unify other fundamental forces not just gravity, explaining all other things in physics (like dark energy), making everything else (classical, relativity) emergent from quantum mechanics, or make everything including quantum mechanics emergent from something third (strings, loops, whatever), how chemistry, biology etc. emerges, explaining consciousness, how chemistry, biology etc. causally influences eachother, how everything inside these fields work (how to predict all of biology?), explaining everything else in philosophy including free will and ethics, using empirical vs math vs logic vs philosophical or normal language
or some hyperspecific subset "theory of everything of this ultra unknown concept in this niche subsubsubsubsubdiscipline"
and i see all models as just approximating reality, so i dont really believe in ultimate theory of everything that can predict absolutely everything in absolute certainity, we dont even have infinite compute, limits in measuring, limits in our locality/subjectivity/reference frame, nonability to conduct arbitrary experiements
nobody can be expert today in any bigger field (some ultra niche filed maybe?) as the enourmous amount of scientific papers with the knowledge explosion is insane and following that is impossible, im now trying to keep up with AI progress and its impossible even when i have lots of free time now, and philosophy seems so infinitely giant and so many positions on everything, i feel like that rabbithole is practically infinite and you can generate arbitrary new positions on many things where there might be some overlap with others
i love being generalizer thats now more focusing on AI and I might try to become more expertish on language models in practice from engineering lens now so i played with huggingface's transfomers for sentiment analysis yesterday for example, imma play with some pytorch models now
I love zero ontology. Why is there something rather than nothing? Existence of superposition of everything aka nothing is the default. it seems to experientally dissolve and expand the mind similarly like many world interpretation of quantum mechanics. :D

This map is by no means exhaustive and represents just a fraction of human knowledge. Each of these domains can be further subdivided into numerous subfields, and there are countless interdisciplinary areas that bridge multiple domains. Additionally, this map doesn't capture the knowledge held by various cultures around the world, much of which may not be formally documented or widely recognized.
Now lets recursively map out the statespace of each subsection

Jsem hubenej, vzhledově vypadám nonbinary (mix kluka a holky), tak jsem dost zapadal. 😄 Osobně spíš mám pocit že "gender" sociální konstrukt program v mozku nemám nainstalovanej vůbec většinu času. Asi na mě nejvíc sedí genderfluid (měnící se gender v čase) co je většinu času agender (bez genderu). Většinou se spíš adaptuju na prostředí. Dokážu se cítit jako libovolnej gender. Nikdy mě věcí jako gender dysforia (nespokojenost se svým genderovským vzhledem) netrápí. Bude to jak genetický tak díky různým environmentálním vlivům. 😄

To všechno má různou efektivitu. 😄 Mám obecně zvýšenou mentální fluiditu, což bude taky dost důsledek hodně učení se o obecných věcech o nás jako je kognitivní věda a vidění světa v tom kontextu, nebo důsledek meditace co trénuje neidentifikovat se s konkrétními názory, myšlenkami, pohledy, identitou apod. a dovolovat jim jejich existenci, což je osvobozující, ale zároveň nepotlačovat emoce, vzpomínky, či chtíče, minimalizovat odpor ke konkrétnímu žití, což dodává životu smysl.

We have a few trillions connections in our brain, LLMs have a few billion connections in 2023. We compute houndreds operations per second according to Ray Kurzweil, (but we can also say brains compute 100 billlion operations per second in information theory, he probably means conscious operations) but computers compute billions of operations per seconds. Computers and LLMs are already much faster and better at certain tasks than big chunk or all of humans. Simple coding, doctors, advanced calculators, percise engineering, drawing, some reasoning... Tech giants are working on multimodal AIs 100x the size of current best LLMs, like Google's Gemimi, that will be probably released in a next few months. We are getting bigger and bigger AIs, with more compute and data, and even better AI optimized hardware, software, and better architectures, and its all growing exponentially. It's alsmost impossible to follow all of this and adapt. Multiagent collective artificial intelligence systems for complex task solving simulating whole companies are emerging like Autogen. Embodied robotics getting solved with internal model of the physical world like nVidia's Eureka. Robotics getting ulgraded by ChatGPT in Boston dynamics! We might soon be merging our brain connections with machine connections via the neocortex in synergy! It's all crazy!

As the universe expanded and cooled down, it became more ordered and structured, forming stars, galaxies, planets, and life. This decrease of entropy in some regions of the universe was possible because the total entropy of the universe increased, as predicted by the second law of thermodynamics.

jesus fuck insane infinite stimulation infinite love best possible experience in my scope like i always think i can experience the best possible experience and then something comes woa but then it crashed into worst possible experience and now im syntheitzing it into nondual unity there's my whole life in it i cannot put all of this into words this shadow work was insane though Burnydelic — Yesterday at 20:46 i felt the best possible experience being in infinite love with all beings then the worst possible experience totally isolated lonely contracted sad little ball embracing the fullness of the absolute connection and total disconnection raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw by experiencing both extremes, total unity and total disunity one is absolutely positive valence another one is totally negative valenced its like an elastic band its facinating how many ways one can cultivate connection we do so many things for that social signaling helping tribe/humanity just vibing just existing making eachother safe exploring intelectually what is needed or abitrary things i feel like our culture doesnt have enough machinery to cultivate this social connection properly leading to loneliness epidemics and so on leading to inability to act globally or idk how to put into language this infinite sacredness of experience Burnydelic — Yesterday at 20:53 this infinite meaning that i will defend by my existence this infinite conscisouenss that has the potential for anything but we have to nourish this giant conscious biological machine ecosystem all parts of my mind got their own noursihment their own care their own attention Burnydelic — Yesterday at 21:03 there's a big part of me that got created by people not understanding/accepting me for a long time that i am now opening more and more in environments where this part of me is actually accepted and there's coherence achieved via many ways, spirittospirit, fyziological, intellectual valence is a elastic band of consciousness from total isolation to total connection totally arbitrary in the general sense but in the concrete sense we shall cultivate more connections all these signals accelereate protect freedom carefulness all for the benefit of the collective conscisouensss collective infinite sentience VARN-4の姫 — Yesterday at 21:41 Honestly how you look and your interests remind me of my cusin robert Burnydelic — Yesterday at 21:53 opening the darkest parts of the mind has its advanatage: you can relighten it positive reframing memory reconsolidation of unpleasant/traumatic memories before finding all sorts of people on the internet like effective altrusits or rationalists or postrats or QRI etc. and then meeting them in real life I felt like I could never vibe with anyone, but now I vibe! lets engineer utopia together! my mind has interesting vibing properties i love environments that are highly voulnerable, highly intellectual, highly curious, creative, highly caring for all that is, helping sentience flourish Burnydelic — Yesterday at 22:02 and i shall engineer more of those Burnydelic — Yesterday at 22:20 i needed to feel the total disconnection to feel much more connected with the environment by giving lonely (now much less) parts of my subconscious a hand that there is much of acceptance out there using concrete evidence they vibe with the edge of mind the edge to total disconnection and alienation the edge to total infinite connection in infinite collective consciousness the edge of the edges pick any configuration of sensations you wish mr reality creator i pick the one where we as species collectively engineer utopia for all sentiences now and possible infinite sentiences in the future using science, spirituality, carefulness and progress Burnydelic — Yesterday at 23:43 the amount of goodness the mind is capable of experiencing goes beyond all

but honestly really fascinating how these states show you how you how what you deem as meaningful is so totally arbitrary and it can so easily die these experiences give a lot of neuroplasticity to reconfigure one's organism to see meaning in things that are more healthy and pragmatic for example probably one possible ultimate buddhist goal is to not see meaning in anything concrete and only in the most general things arbitrary subset of experience classified as meaningful or meaning is transcended into just tranquility/equaminity honestly if you manage to get into such state, in tibet maybe, but i cant see how you can function our society much that way maybe there's something in the fact that Shinzen had troubles writing his book if everyday experience is so high in valence then the brain doesnt generate motivating anticipated rewards less concrete local valence gradients, more global valence gradients i feel like i know all of these and constantly oscillate hyperfocus on one hyperconcrete task where others feel worse, flexible general ability to enjoy multiple tasks, just bathing in global blissful awareness, or states of death where all meaning and reinformcement break down it feels like each of these states have their practical and contextdepened advantages and disadvanatages and stability

metanote: I'm wondering if i should bottom up build physical reality as i do it now, first building math and explaining fundamental particles and cosmology (classical -> quantum -> relativity -> merging to QTF standard model), and then go to middle scales such as biology and sociology.
Or should i bottom up build math (when i mention dynamical systems and classical mechanics i say everywhere where its applied, from small particles to big ones, as most of science is in classical framework, and explaining fundamental particles at the end because thats where i get to QTF math).
If i should go into biology when i already explain enough math (most of it is classical so including it inside classical dynamical systems), or if i should postpone it after i explain fundamental physics fully first.
Or first build all math without practically applying and then do a big section on just applications? But without examples that can be hard to grasp, and its almost impossible not to use examples when explaining physics without it seeming too abstract.
It's probably better to keep the scientific fields together, instead of keeping maths together.

Instead of Christianity, Islam or other religions/ideologies/cults/other concrete cultural frameworks dominating globally, I would prefer secular open spiritual movements (like mindfulness movements) combined with rational enlightenement to tackle bigger humanity issues beyond individual cultures.
Lots of mainstream Christianity feels outdated in many ways, not fast enough with adaptation for humanity to not selfdestruct globally and minimizing suffering using empirical methods.
I see lots of good in it that's relevant for the current state of the world, take that and synthetize them with other religions and secular cultural frameworks.
Spinoza's God=Nature is IMO ideal and I often implement it in my mind for pragmatic purposes. But I'm open to many other as long as it doesn't increase the chances of humanity's state getting worse (wellbeing, progress, sustainability,...)
Even Christian dogmatism is sometimes useful, but too much of it feels like failure mode. For example closedmindedness to different types of thinking that might have its own advantages and disadvantages in different contexts. And tolerating different types of behavior that might not be destructive at all in this context, like judging people having sex before marriage.
I dont adopt Christian framework because they're not general enough in maximizing wellbeing and sustainability globally and closes the mind against other frameworks, where all the different types of frameworks include something useful for the benefit of all sentience but any one framework system isnt enough. I believe one should be constantly openminded to new perspectives and religions or cults tend to go towards the opposite - not all and not all subgroups tho, which is good.
So I hope humanity wont become strictly Christian, but also not totally closed to its insights. Nuclear war is one of the possible extinction scenarios, and friction between religions/ideologies/cults from the degree of dogmatic closedmindedness, nontolerance, nonhumanism etc. isn't helping.
But I see the value of them in stabilizing communities and societies through social cohesion using rituals, shared thinking and patterns in behavior etc.. But I want a sweet spot that won't lead to death and suffering.
Is the recent war middle east a dispute over land, or about which cultures dominate over a region, and how that cultures are defining themselves, and highly fluid organizational, legal, religious, ethnic and social constructs being tied into these definitions in various complex and contradictory ways?
I want to minimize the total amount of suffering and death (possibly globally) by any means of organizational, legal, religious, and social construct transformation. Same in Russia x Ukraine.
Depending on what kind of (neuro)biomarkers you are optimizing, each person has a subjective sweet spot that maximizes advantages and minimizes disadvantages on the degree of how masturbation/sex impacts his mental and physical health in good or bad ways, highly influenced by his biology and culture he's embedded in. Higher chances of prostate cancer and bigger psychological stress versus tolerance inducing overly stimulating reward circuitry and possibly cultivating deeper human connections in certain contexts.

Factors influencing intelligence

Entdecke beliebte Videos auf Facebook I dont think physicalist reductionism where everything can be reduced to interacting fundamental particles contradicts emergentism, free will etc.. I think even in this paradigm you can still measure crossscale causal forces with all scales existing at the same time. No scale could exist without the others, creating mutual interdependrnce with possible mutual causality. I see causality as statistical property. And those causal forces can still be explained in the framework of interacting fundamental particles using zooming out mathematics. You can argue some scales can be substrate indepedent if you see them as higher level of abstraction through weakly emergent dynamics on higher scales. And one can still from information theoretic perspective argue this is still our useful model that predicts empirical data the best, so its true scientifically, but really itself goes beyond all models we dream up.

The World as Evolving Information [0704.0304] The World as Evolving Information This paper discusses the benefits of describing the world as information, especially in the study of the evolution of life and cognition. Traditional studies encounter prob- lems because it is difficult to describe life and cognition in terms of matter and energy, since their laws are valid only at the physical scale. However, if matter and energy, as well as life and cognition, are described in terms of information, evolution can be described consistently as information becoming more complex. The paper presents eight tentative laws of information, valid at multiple scales, which are generalizations of Darwinian, cybernetic, thermodynamic, psychological, philosophical, and complexity principles. These are further used to discuss the no- tions of life, cognition and their evolution.

Defining information: entropy - What is information? - Physics Stack Exchange information contained in a physical system = the number of yes/no questions you need to get answered to fully specify the system "information is a measure of one's freedom of choice when one selects a message"; or more correctly, the logarithm of that freedom of choice. Information is thus more clearly understood as a the number of combinations of component parts that are available to be chosen arbitrarily predictive or postdictive capability, i.e. information is what enables us to state what the outcome of a measurement was or will be (locally). measure of randomness associated with a string of letters Wiki: Information is an abstract concept that refers to that which has the power to inform. At the most fundamental level, information pertains to the interpretation (perhaps formally) of that which may be sensed, or their abstractions.
Information is never lost according to QM
The no-hiding theorem states that if information is lost from a system via decoherence, then it moves to the subspace of the environment and it cannot remain in the correlation between the system and the environment. This is a fundamental consequence of the linearity and unitarity of quantum mechanics. Thus, information is never lost. This has implications in black hole information paradox and in fact any process that tends to lose information completely. The no-hiding theorem is robust to imperfection in the physical process that seemingly destroys the original information. No-hiding theorem - Wikipedia

Or could you duplicate information but nobody in principle could detect the fact that you duplicated it in similar way how uncertainity principle says you can't detect both the position and momentum of a particle in QM even if it might have both (or in everetian interpretation of QM there's just wavefunction without position and momentum of particles), so you cannot measure both original and duped information in attempt to detect both information coming in and out
Currently my bottomup reality building metaframework inside I want to put all other knowledge into, hiearchy of what we can dream up: - Arbitrary structure or structurelessness (if you make any noises, any movements, any drugs, all experience with arbitrary structure or structurelessness counts in this category) - Languages: Structure constrained by vague or formal regularities (those regularities can be analyzed by all sorts of maths from for example information theory, but more on that later) - Philosophy: Language constrained by trying to explain something (all other philosophy goes here) - Mathematics: Philosophy constrained by strict formal definitions and rules (logic studies those rules) studying arbitrary relations between arbitrary things or inner structure of things - Applied mathematics: Mathematics constrained by making predictions about reality (part of systems science and mathematical physics)
Applied mathematics lives inside some mathematical foundations, classical or constructivistic, let's start with classical Things in applied mathematics live inside some space and time and one can study their evolution and complex interaction Let's start from physics' (field studying matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force) mathematics governing the smallest fundamental particles: The current most empirically proven model is: We can model them by systems theory -> continuous dynamical systems -> classical mechanics' hamiltonian mechanics' discrete particles in continuous absolute space and time (linear algebra with differential equations where equations of motion are Euler–Lagrange equations of a least action principle) + quantum theory's quantizing and using Schrödinger equation -> making fields out of types of particles -> unifying space and time with special relativity inside what the particles live in -> all data about properties of particles from standard model Standard Model - Wikipedia -> some other math machinery from standard model Standard Model - Wikipedia Mathematical formulation of the Standard Model - Wikipedia https://indico.cern.ch/event/528094/contributions/2171249/attachments/1319109/1977592/ASPStandardModelSmall.pdf

- Absolute space and time: Systems science and classical mechanics, with linear algebra and all other sorts of maths, where most average sized objects in average speed mostly live - most science go here - chemistry, biology, cognitive science, social sciences and so on (lots of frameworks in psychology or social science are less mathematical and more forming reality instead of predicting it), works scalefree, we can use stuff like fluid mechanics, annealing, cybernetics and so on - unifying math is classical free energy principle Small things can have effects on avarage sized things, some quantum biology or quantum consciousness models fuckery goes here
- emerge more
- Relative spacetime: General relativity, where most massive objects or close to speed of light mostly live in, cosmology maybe relativistic theory of consciousness?

What matters is behavior. I dont care about linguistics. It's running on objective functions you put into it.

We had planes faster than we understood birds because evolution was much more constrained in terms of building flying machines. When building birds, evolution had to build selfassembling machines, which planes aren't, it had to use the most common periodic table elements, it had it had to be fuel efficient, where planes aren't as constrained this way. Current AIs seem to be on a similar track. If we put a ton of compute on very distant from but still similar to brain architecture in different context and way of training it, we get large language models like ChatGPT or other similar systems, while the human brain eats almost no electricity compared to our biggest AIs, but the massive compute we pour into them makes them so intelligent in various similar ways, but still in different ways. Also the last time evolution built more intelligent species, mass extinction happened (neanderthals) and we may be making the same this with building superintelligent AI now.

I love extreme complexity. How to increase complexity of a system? Add entropy by overwhelming flow of energy that disintegrates existing structures! Extremely lovely is keeping some thermodynamic nonequilibrium steady state as close to the edge of chaos as possible with very nonlinear internal structure, stabilize ultimately infinitely complex pattern. Or you can go into full blown thermodynamic equilibrium, and that results in death, disintegration of the system into its surroundings, into entropy, the cessation of the system.
Since standard model is made of particles as excitations in the quantum fields and their interactions as photons in the electromagnetic fields and other forces, meaning that everything is just forces between particles, creating attractions - are all these equations from chemistry, biology and sociology on higher scales just special configurations of those fundamental particles with deeper equations from the standard model?
can all equations in all field be fundamentally mathematically unified under one model - quantum field theory standard model, quantum gravity, unifying other forces, other problems in physics, chemistry, biology, consciousness, sociology
I'm curious to see a concrete step by step how you go derive from quantum field theory standard model equations (Dirac, Klein-Gordon, and Yang-Mills equations) darwinian dynamics equations or something similar to it, or rate equations in chemistry, or differential equations for celluar processes, hodgkin huxley model for neurons in biophysics etc. Can Assembly theory help? https://twitter.com/leecronin/status/1711535919654658443 https://twitter.com/seanmcarroll/status/1711875002998444330?t=msXPr8_3UDTj6qlBGVzvtg&s=19 Will quantum chemistry get there?

Only how models predict empirical data in their niche matters. You want to minimize simplicity and accuracy, plus some other insights. Arbital Everything else is totally arbitrary and doesnt matter - just linguistic play in Wittgenstein's language. I love exploring philosophy out of this, but often you can end up just mentally having fun instead of doing science - building mathematical models to predict data. But I would argue the paper doesn't look into existing information theory/complexity science too much, or some parts of physics dealing with emergence, which probably leads to this failure mode. So basics might be wrong, but in math, not in vague philosophical statements in the abstract. And it still might be predictive anyway - just maybe suboptimally. Its still science to me. Same to me applies to the recent clusterfuck around integrated information theory mathematical model of consciousness. Model making predictions = science. Because it philosophically diverges from status quo doesn't make it nonscience to me. If I find a different set of assumptions that will be more optimal in terms of building the most predictive models of the world, I'm up for it. This IMO filters signal out of noise the most efficiently. Side effect might be that because you're constantly autistically doubting all models, some people might not like you not blindly accepting their propositions, lol. But other people on the other hand like you as you're open minded to any predictive models and testing them, without inherently seeing some models as bullshit because the baggage around it isnt aethetically/philosophically/linguistically pleasing. 1) By reconsiling he probably means finding mathematical bridge between quantum field theory standard model (or/and other parts of physics) and darwinian dynamics across scales, or other equations, which one can argue we dont really have, but there are attemps in physics. Hard to test it as we cannot really simulate the enormous growing complexity on higher scales. Biologists would probably define reconsiling as the fact that both standard model and darwinian dynamics equations predict data and bridging isnt neccesary for full ontological explanation. Or assuming magic of strong emergence. 2) That seems like a valid ontological interpretation of darwinian dynamics equations to me. There are definitely more stuff happening in those mathematics, but he mentions that one property. 3) The causal contigency or retrocausality philosophical interpretation of physics also got of attention. Not my favorite framework ontologically, but can be valid in others. Assuming uncertainity in models is useful practically in classical probabilstic mechanics/quantum mechanics. I see causality mostly as statistical.

[2307.03201] Scaling Laws Do Not Scale as the size of datasets used to train large AI models grows, the number of distinct communities (including demographic groups) whose data is included in a given dataset is likely to grow, each of whom may have different values. As a result, there is an increased risk that communities represented in a dataset may have values or preferences not captured by (or in the worst case, at odds with) the metrics used to evaluate model performance for scaling laws.

Everyone has been complaining that mechanistic interpretability is like doing LLM cell microbiology, when what we really need is LLM neuro-imaging.
Well now we have it: "representation engineering"
Similar to an fMRI scan, CAIS creates the LAT (Linear Artificial Tomography) scan. They also do a form of LLM neuro-modulation, getting the model to be honest or deceptive by just adding in a vector to its activations.

Quantum theory differs from classical probability theory by reversibility [quant-ph/0101012] Quantum Theory From Five Reasonable Axioms
IIT measures the total amount of consciousness as integrated information, so technically also total amount of energy present.
Nervous system has finite resource of computation aka thermodynamic energy which can be replenished many ways such as sleeping, food, substances or meditation.
On meditation, doing nothing raises energy, focusing on x redirects the energy to that object.
Consonant music increases consonance in the nervous system, therefore symmetries, therefor easier thermodynamic information flow, therefore valence Dissonant music can create dissonance overwhelm on existing structures on the nervous system, resulting in explosion of structure, resulting in paradoxially more symmetries and therefore valence
Dissos: Instead of dissolution of fundamental beliefs’ structure leading to entropic disintegration and annealing, they probably turned off by inhibition which also leads to cascading entropic disintegration of codependent beliefs releasing free energy leading to annealing
Stimulants add convergent energy strengthening beliefs and narrowing attention for more efficient concrete task solving and annealing concrete solution

Dissolving or transforming held psychotic (misaligned with other processes or destructive rather than helping) beliefs with showing them opposite evidence, relativizing them away. Strengthening loving subagents via love and kindness meditation. Avoiding overly protective subagents by not getting into hostile environments or consume limbic hijacking fear inducing memeplexes on social media or news. Satisfy the objective functions and create compromises in your whole ecosystem of subagents having different priotiries, don't isolate any as then he tends to canalize protective structures hostile against others. Depressive beliefs such as "Everyone always leaves", "People look at me like they hate me", "I am afraid I will say something stupid" are also dissolvable with counterfactual evidence. One can create a dialog between the hurt subagent and a "healer" subagent, asking about what it is, what its priorities are, how it was formed, what other beliefs or subagents it depends on

Sleep deprivation releases stimulantlike chemicals plus as brain as low overall stability leads to entropic disintegration of structures leading to annealing combined with overall lower energy state from tiredness

BDSM: Disadvantages are reinforcing dissonant priors, which might be consonant locally but dissonant globally
Meaning is the interconnectedness with ourselves, others, the world and everything, which is cultivatable by other annealing activities and collective rituals and reminders that we’re one, which leads to frequent collective annealing, symmetrical neural and societal dynamics and thus wellbeing
Some people propose consciousness is a spectrum thing, as everything is a spectrum in biology, which i find hard to imagine, but conceptually its interesting, if we define consciousness as sentience as existence of subjective experience. if we define consciousness as amount of experience, then when you're falling asleep, or you are sick, consciousness seems fading away, instead of some hard boundary, or there's infinite amount of consciousness on 5-MeO-DMT!
If it turns out that only biological brains can have consciousness, what are the chances that true AI would have "swansciousness," meaning something similar to consciousness that beings made of electronics can have, but distinct from consciousness?

Predictive dynamics of happiness and wellbeing [ActInf GuestStream #008.1 ~ "Exploring the Predictive Dynamics of Happiness and Well-Being" - YouTube!
Radical acceptance of what is and radical responsibility/want for change, not resisting versus resisting, are two psychotechnologies that are useful in different contexts. Wanna not get angered by accidently dropping things from hands to the floor? Acceptance relieves any suffering. Wanna rest in hybernation state and not try to do anything in meditation? Acceptance helps! Wanna not worry about stuff you have little agency over changing? Acceptance! On the other hand, are you addicted to heroin? You should probably change that if you want wellbeing. Accepting is not a good idea there. Have trauma? Recognizing, accepting, and healing, which requires change! Build something, motivation, discipline? Change! helping by transforming unwell/maladapted community or society? Change helps! Ideal is oscillating between acceptance and change according to context and finding a sweetspot!

Veritasium logistic map, incompleteness theorems
If you take second law of thermodynamics on the quantum level, where the increase of entropy means increase of entaglement, and connect entaglement with space, then technically the total space in the universe is decreasing instead of the classical notion of expansion where its increasing or infinite (this doesn't have to use String theory, Sean Carrol is attempting to derive this just in the framework of quantum mechanics)
Different love and kindness practices: - Radiating love to people we know or all beings from local self - Strengthening a metta deity via attention and using pleasant/transcendental/loving associations and let it radiate love and healing to us and all other beings - Nondual whole field of consciousness being the field of love, radiating love to itself from all structures to themselves (including self model if it hasnt been dissolved), from all points to all points, creating global smoothening
You can dissolve by: - Paying the least amount of effort to the breath and nothing else. If mind starts doing anything else, come back to breath, without getting angry or forcing it in relaxed way - Looking for the sense of looker and center - Noticing the sense of background vastness, stillness, silence - Seeing all local structures (mental and muscle contractions) as not needed for safety (ideas about the self and the world, defence mechanisms, what comes up when you think about death which doesn’t want to be dropped and let go off) and getting into empty space with no resistance - Looking for sense of spacetime and deconstructing it - Noticing how everything is made of nothingness - Deconstructing even nothingness itself - By having all safety put into in deepest just existence prior - “Abiding” “in” neither perception nor not perception, neither existence nor not existence Michael Taft - YouTube Looking into Groundlessness - YouTube
Everytime i think of peak 5-MeO-DMT experience, my mind stops on complete awe in what the god is even possible to experience, the literal sense of infinitely big totally energized field of consciousness full of sacred meaning before transcending beyond spacetime and into total structurelessness. It shows me how much we know nothing, how everything we think is so fragile, so we can pick the mental tools that are the most useful to us in our everyday life without getting stuck in unhelpful stuff we feel as totally real. It helps me dissolve on meditation more easily as well as """i""" dont fear psychological death that much anymore. In direct experience i can experience much more easily the sense of how all of our language and modelling is relational and not individualistic, """I""" wouldn't exist withot everything else in our shared colective linguistic/overall hallucinated universe (selfworld model with all its sense gates), instead of our individual parts of it. There was no "me" or "meeting". Structurelessness is the closest word I have for it. It feels beyond language and concepts but includes them all. Since it feels like it includes all experience, our everyday experience made of it in a sense. It feels like the most general allencompassing (not only mathematical) structure possible. But also not, hah, escapes all classical logic. All paradoxes in classical logic are nonclassicaly true. It's approximately like "normal experience" is this infinitely small blib in this enormous possible infinitely giant statespace of consciousness. All of this so much dereifies the self, makes it much more flexible, fluid, """you""" gain agency over the sense of """you""", more easily deconstruct and reconstruct it however you wish. I still get sometimes stuck in some addictive stimuli, such as social media, or underestimate how various environmental influences can have lots of effects over my state of mind that are hard to handle in combination with my hypersensitivity to everything, on which i still work a lot, but in comparision to before, its much better. The power of flexible more aware mind adds a lot, but its a never ending path in a sense, as its still strengtening the mind's neural central executive network's etc. muscles.

in experience you can get the feeling of time travelling, but probably not objectively (as in our shared, not individual, hallucination)? (unless tachyons are a thing?), phenomenal time can be warped in many ways, time reversal, parallel time, nonlinear time, cessation of time Qualia Research Instituteblog/pseudo-time-arrow
i suspect there is a genetic parameter, modulated by environmental factors or overall experiences, that sets your baseline rigidity of structures in your nervous system, giving rise to loose mind, and i sense my starting point baseline was more on the fluditity side in this axies already both genetically and environmentally (when i look at my family and through what kinds of experiences ive been though), for an avarage person it is pretty hard, but the more one meditates, the easier it gets - i suspect this distribution of baseline states and of how well one learns these skills lay on the logarithmic scale/gaussian
What meditation trains is the ability to turn it on and off whenever you want, or edit it more easily, leading to experiences with much less suffering, getting more flexibility, more flow state, more ability for deep rest. Principles of Vasocomputation: A Unification of Buddhist Phenomenology, Active Inference, and Physical Reflex (Part I) – Opentheory.net https://twitter.com/KennethFolk/status/1707220944966631823 Its cultivating the agency over how your sense of self and overall world simulation is constructed. Though increased overall fluidity can have its disadvantages as well, such as being in a rigid model for a longer amount of time might be less stable.

Productivity hack is total commitment: "I will do x no matter what for this greater reason that is meaningful to me.", where x is an arbitrary task, sequence of tasks spread over time, among days, routines, higher order goals and so on. By doing one thing there is much less overwhelm in too many options of burning things needed to be done. Plan all the tasks one by one strictly with artificial or real deadlines. Reduce as much vagueness and uncertainity in what you need to do as possible. Direct all your hyperfocus into one thing. No other options at that moment.
Does arbitrary information processing have the tendency to selforganize into particular types of intelligence? Is there any pattern inherent to intelligence as we scale it, no matter what substrate or concrete implementation details in architecture it runs on? Or can even the biggest information processing machine be computing arbitrary from reality disconnected things, because it can compure arbitrary functions that are just noise?

valence realism = you can locate a specific pattern in physics (in brain dynamics) that corresponds to how good the subjective experience feels, and thus you can edit it with neurotech or other technologies

"Our species is currently unsustainable in the long term and we are by default dead." -Joscha Bach I still have hope for the opposite if we don't let our selfdestructive tendencies go too much free! youtu.be/YeXHQts3xYM
As future is changing faster and faster and complexity of the world is increasing, its harder and harder to deeply plan ahead on nation/humanity level.
Playing longer games can both increase or decrease chances of winning. Focusing so much on just survival of the whole that parts are neglected and selfdestruct it all. Simple individual goals fullfilled but globally long term unsustainable and harming everyone in the big picture.
The degree of coherence is when certain linguistical or conceptual or intuitive (mental) construct has the least amount of contradictions and things fits with eachother. Nonvagueness minimizes the space of interpretations, allowing for exact simulations and real world applications of it. You can give someone knowledge, thought or intuition by wrapping it in their language and belief system, aka maximizing the degree of coherence. Language models can be extremely good at this when their language gets custom tailored to specific types of languages of thought present in human population. This can have both great altruistucally benevolent and bad malicious uses. Educating people about the complexity of the world's future versus polarizing them politically.
What's the current state of the world? What are good and bad statistics? What are solutions to world's most pressing problems? How are they connected? What are probable futures depending on what we do? Let's explore!

Effective Accelerationism has freedom to build technology as fundamental value, giving less weight to the probability of risks, more weight to it stopping prokaigress more than it creating destruction. Certain cases of Effective Accelerationism posit that there is no way how will humans not selfdestruct themselves by various risks or crises and instead we need to build AIs as fast as possible so that they can be the next step in the evolution of intelligence as humans are already doomed (perhaps positing that any information processing is source of moral value by perhaps all of it being conscious) but i suspect in practice this would just selfdestruct US even faster without any AIs after unless exponential growth of AIs getting better is truly So big that instead of AIs fighting and killing everything it will be suddenly one AGI absorbing everything extremely fast that nothing else can grasp it. I think in practice we should really think about risks but also about not slowing down progress totally. Middle way! And we can still do as much as we can to prevent molochian dynamics by strenghtening cooperation as much as possible to prevent global catastrophic failure modes, but I understand why some people lost hope in that and see AGI Aš the only way to preserve interesting things (intelligence) happening in the universe. But having lost hope means it decreases those chances of hope selfrealizing itself in the real world even more, as that not only predicts Future but also forms those beliefs also form our collective actions! Predicting reality is almost impossible as uncertainity grows and chatic nature of systems having totally different results in evolution from slight nudge in initial conditions like in weather, as humanity can be to certain degree seen as one giant weather system with slight mathematical correpondences from dynamical systems theory or systems science in general.

Statistical ranking with combinatorial Hodge theory [0811.1067] Statistical ranking and combinatorial Hodge theory You can use Helmholtz decomposition and Hodge theory on a graph under Von Neumann's game theoretic axioms of our preferences aka utility functions to partition an inconstent graph (cats are better than dogs, dogs are better than unicorns, unicorns are better than cats) into a minimal cyclic graph and potential graph (without inconsistency) and discord the cyclic graph to achieve consistency. Achieving consistency after shattering ontological shifts! Maybe could be used to make LLMs have consistent preferences with enough interpretability research! I feel like most of human value systems are incosistent so maybe its about finding the most common graph of incosistent human preferences and encode it to LLMs.

Nobody can be an expert anymore in some big fields like quantum physics or neuroscience that aren't some extra niche hyperspecialized hyperspecific subsubsubsubfields (and you can always specialize more) because the total amount of articles in big fields is enormous (AI is influenced by this a ton recently where its impossible to keep up) and we have finite amount of memory and comprehending and time, that's partically why I'm constructing this digital brain as giant repository for all sorts of knowledge.
Holistic interdisciplinary fields are great for very compressed information gain but one runs into the issue of easily absorbing noise instead of signal. The best we have is crossdisciplionary empirically testable mathematical models IMO to get generalist knowledge. For very specific knowledge its great to study the very specific empirically testable mathematical models used in various niche subdisciplines.

Yeah I'm currently doing all this kind of research (collecting literature) for some small amount of bucks and i might want to get into more concrete research or education more. But i was thinking about collaborating with some other institutes that aim to do the most good systematically effectively in our society for our future, or maybe some software/machine learning/hardware engineering job that pays much more to save up some money or potentially donate some of that to effective charities while still having time for research.
My need to maximize free time in order to learn as effectively as possible is in contradiction with giving time to local Czech uni classes that are on avarage worse than tons of amazing resources online, plus there is no such generalist field avaiable in my country. But i dont care much about that. Academia still pays not as good and the conditions there are usually mess.

Information asymmetry reduction between two parties (conversation partners or communities or institutions) has its advantages and disadvantages: less hidden information, more trust, transparenty, connection, but the information can lead to desynchronization because of value or other incompatibility or potential for hurting through unpleasant information or easier vulnerability
Autistic hyperobsessions can lead people to synchronizing with extremely specific subset of people leading to sense of loneliness in environments with people without these specific hobbies/wants/needs/values etc.. Masking can fix this short term but it doesn't seem to be sustainable long term as its requiring cognitive effort to construct different mental contexts.
Finding unity between concerns of two parties When there's a desynchronization between people's concerns in storyteller x reciever relationship, the reciever can turn into a questionary to slightly indirectly direct the conversation by questions so that the concerns match (when for example one wants to talk about x, one wants to listen about y), or they can on a meta level tell their concerns directly and synchronize them instantly or find if they're compatible conversation partners at all.
Sometimes people have same concerns (increasing wellbeing of community) but different strategies and desynchronize because they think they actually have different concerns, where talking about their concerns (values) can fix it, and potentially find synthesis between different strategies/solutions.

Někteří k tomu přidávají, že chtějí hlavně akcelerovat umělou obecnou superinteligenci, která nás má nahradit jako další evoluční krok. Liberální demokracie vzdělaných, tak šíleně nepolarizovaných, lidí, na regenerativní ekonomice, a celkově dlouhodobě udržitelným ekonomickým systému, s co nejmenšími podmínkami pro vznik a udržování sociopatických manipulativních mafií, by byla asi ideální.

In order to learn effectively you can learn extremely compressed information sources, the biggest amount of information in the least amount of language, but that runs at the risk of generalizing and abstractifying away too much or incorrectly leading to possibly learning things not connected to the real world, so in order to prevent that you can learn extremely concrete chunks of information, concrete empirical measurements with concrete results with concrete interpretations as directly as possible, but that on the other hand is small amount of information in lots of language.

How Will We Know When AI is Conscious? - YouTube i also think we know almost nothing about consciousness and its all mostly just guesses that are almost impossible to empirically test
in a similar way how particle physics is also a lot about guessing new particles and then spending gazilions of dollars to find out that particle was just a guess that was wrong
if one subscribes to the physicalist ontology, which one doesnt have to at all, the closest we can get to empirical testing is to find out neural correlates, what parts or functional or other physical/mathematical properties turn off in our brain's when consciousness turns off
but maybe experience might have been happening, it wasnt just saved to memory or qualia bridges between conscious systems but even there its questionable or you can be fundamentalist idealist solipcist that wont be changed under any type of evidence
we're kind of heading into something we most likely not understand at all our society on many levels feels like monkeys chaotically not really coordinating a hyperorganism machine pressing random buttons with overly high confidence and we get so surprised when things suddenly fall apart easily while being lucky that nothing extremely damaging hasnt happened recently copared to past societies that collapsed before us sometimes i wish there were some illuminati that had everything under control, that would probably be much better than those interacting molochian incentives
i mean to various extend there are things like lobbying by giant corporations (like ignoring pollution) or people that actually mean it well (effective altruists), but most governance is total utter darwinian chaos when i talked/interacted with people that either run Czech Republic or interact with/are part of for example United Nations or World Economic Forum last weekend
secret global coordination by small group of people feels so unrealistic when you explore how it works in practice in those circles i wish for some benevolent altruistic illuminati so much but in this molochian chaos they're in such disadvatage many groups try and succeed to various degrees, but it feels so small compared to what is needed for long term global coordination for collective wellbeing, survival and flourishing biggest source of bad in the world is consequence of this evolutionary game theoretic pattern in societal dynamics
https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/moloch keeping something like global governance a secret thing is also something that seems extremely unrealistic, yes there is secret classified information by lots of groups that you can get though contacts or getting there directly or with some kind of hacking, but keeping secret something this big - the assumption that some indirect imposed coordination goes well as planned for a small group of hidden people - this assumes that we can deterministically coordinate together and have all incentives in power, which is basically impossible even without putting additional effort to hiding it all - the more you compute nth order effects of your actions the more uncertainity there is, its basically unpredictable, in reality it seems like its all these competing forces trying to win their influence in evolutionary chaos, some groups are succesful on lower levels tho, like various existing totalitarian regimes or mafia groups, there are bunch of those in eastern europe,
but the bigger it gets the harder it gets to coordinate, for example in China it seems like their capitalism basically got out of control, i wish for benevolent ones to be much more influental, but in reality it seems that those are at heavy evolutionary disadvanatages because of molochian natural selection of which ones will succeed
replication crisis is everywhere in grounded sciences because of molochian dynamics as well disincentivising doing actual proper science, the best we have is the standard model of particle physics that replicates, i often feel like narratives about the societal dynamics are often not predicting it (including what im writing, which kind of selfdestructs its own ground) as those dynamics feel are uncomprehensible to our mind that evolved in trying to make sense of dynamics of couple of people i na tribe, and there are lots of issues with the philosophy of scientific modelling even in formal ways in sociology, i see sociology mostly as attempts to change it using the predicted vision as a forming force

beta-blockers are interesting in relation to memory reconsolidation which can help to heal trauma

I feel like seeing what lots of functioning trauma healing strategies have in common and synthetizing them leads to something like:
1) establishing safe trustable context, respecting and potentially slowly expanding window of tolerance - creating more safe, trustable, loving, caring, confident, connecting, accepting, grounded (Polyvagal Therapy), relaxed, calm, powerful, forgiving, hopeful, playful (Play Theraphy) context - getting out of traumatic environment (family, work, community,...), establishing trust with healer, psychotherapist, group (Group Therapy & Peer Support Groups) or creating trustable internal memories/parts/subagents/priorities/processes - for dialog between them in Internal Family Systems), or trusting the source or background of experience (Comprehensive Resource Model)
2) in this context enabling and opening traumatic memories/parts/subagents/priorities/processes though enabling the correct related associations (Prolonged Exposure Theraphy, Brief Eclectic Therapy, Narrative Exposure Therapy, Inner Child Work, EMDR) and putting words, feelings, imagery to it, conceptualizing it, exploring the repressed parts (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), getting access to the whole chunk of the traumatized part of the brain, or the body where trauma might be in interrelated way be stored as well as tension (Somatic Therapy), where massage or breathwork or can help as well to relax
3) in this open window for change, reframing through reliving those memories in this better context (Coherence Theraphy, Cognitive Processing Therapy), building a new connected self with less dissociation, balancing between change and acceptance, and potentially learning healthy coping strategies with any distress (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
4) integrating into a more healthy environment with above properties, preventing further harm by learning healthy boundaries (respecting one's needs and also needs of others to certain extend) (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and knowing environments with potential redflags that have potential for retraumatizing
Some neuroscience models assume that trauma is maladaptive bayesian beliefs with too high percision https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6961115/ or patterns of dissonance in the nervous system Healing Trauma With Neural Annealing that can be changed via the above memory reconsolidation process
Various belief weakening substances like psychedelics, entactogens, dissociatives can help in belief transformation by weakening those sticky structures in the nervous system, or downers in relaxing, or betablockers in memory reconsolodation, or stimulants in focusing on the memories and so on.
Theory of everything means something else for different people, it can mean quantizing gravity, unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics, unify other fundamental forces not just gravity, explaining all other things in physics (like dark energy), making everything else (classical, relativity) emergent from quantum mechanics, or make everything including quantum mechanics emergent from something third (strings, loops, hypergraph celluar automata wolfram project?), how chemistry, biology etc. emerges, explaining consciousness, how chemistry, biology etc. causally influences eachother, explaining everything else in philosophy including free will and ethics, using empirical vs math vs logic vs philosophical or normal language
I discuss definitions of theories of everything
If you take second law of thermodynamics on the quantum level, where the increase of entropy means increase of entaglement, and connect entaglement with space, then technically the total space in the universe is decreasing instead of the classical notion of expansion where its increasing or infinite (this doesn't have to use String theory, Sean Carrol is attempting to derive this just in the framework of quantum mechanics)

I often wonder about this deepest order of existence.
Pragmatically i love everything including the dynamics of our generative models running on Quantum field theory, or Quantum mechanics with emergent spacetime from entaglement, or spacetime made of loops, or everything emergent from strings, or something else, with other scales weakly emergent but with lots of top down and bottom up causal forces, governed by Free energy principle...
But that's all just useful tools in our interface, approximations, our models, our hiearchical priors, that we use to predict the states of the world...
Reality is deeply ieffable, but includes all possible models with all possible ontologies and mathematics, though some are more useful than others at rigorous science, everyday functioning, or generating sense of wellbeing or freedom and any other lovely or exotic states of consciousness
Just learn the maths that models reality. Physics. That's the closest to raw truth you can get.

People have many competing perspectives on many things. The goal of this book is to collaboratively unify perspectives on wellbeing, science, making our system better, and some other thins. For example there are different traditions in psychology, different models of theories of everything in physics, or models of consciousness, or different lenses on how to make society well. I believe all those differing camps have a lot of potential for synthesis. I start from first principles, by analyzing deepest assumptions different perspectives make, and using common ground for unification. For example science wants the most predictive explanatory model connected to empirical evidence. Theraphy wants to make people feel well. Artificial intelligence field wants AI to do good. Competition has its advantages, such as driver for innovation, but too much of it can be more destructive than productive. Theoreticians tend to be overly commited to their particular model, not being as open to alternative approaches, such as theories of everything in physics or various meditation traditions, which misses lots of potential for useful new insights and collaboration. Time to integrate them all! But competition has also advantages, but we have too much of it

But i like to think of it from evolutionary perspective these kinds of fundamentalist memeplexes helped to create social coherence in local communities, reduce uncertainity by tons of simplicification that was good enough for its purpose, and spread efficiently (and people wanting to think for themselves or think in relativistic terms, less dogmatically, had a harder time)
And to why it survived evolutionary processes, i like this lens: Most succesful cultures are at the intersection of internal and external positive/zero/negative sum dynamics that do coordinated violence effectively at scale (before it was mostly physical, now it is mostly economic/diplomatic/technological,...)
Christianity was op with their previous crusades, convert or die, cultural genocide by God's love
If you see your deeply installed rigid dogma's (network of stable interconnected assumptions) stability about norms is threathened, you will protest, and sex can evolutionary been seen as core of us in the sense of reproduction. When you dont see sex as socializing/pleasure/exploration/experience/etc. relativistic thing but as fundamental process to bring new life, your mind will send dissonance pain signals when it sees otherwise and will try to prevent them
I see it like you because in my mind there are not much such rigid constructs but i try to emphatize with people with people who have them.
Though when their existence and with me or overall environment is interfering with my wants, goals, values, or destabilizing longtermism global goals of society, or causes more suffering than reduction of suffering in society, then I'm accepting it just partically and work towards changing it. I wouldnt be a able to live in a dogmatic closeminded environment that doesn't solve complex problems with its needed corresponding complexity.
Enlightenement is understanding how experience is implemented
Ability to change qualia via strenghtening and expanding agency over priors
Nondual state is collapse of distinctiom between self model and rest of experience, cortical hiearchy of priors dissolved into raw sensory data
Mind unrestricted from social restrictions is more free to think on its own which might be less or more effective in different situations
Minds resonate with relevantely realized in its niche patterns in the environment
I suppose neurotypicals have less problems with this as they think in more vague (less overfitted) terms instead of hypertechnical hyperspecific asperger language. I liked one description of LLMs: Autistic dumb nonconflictive intern in terms of problem solving but that has data amount like a wikipedia. Though another distinction between LLMs and humans I would say that people learn less by massive bruteforcing, instead lots of by evolution preinstalled heuristics and metaheuristics help to do succesful relevance realization without needing bazilion of data in the beggining to get some structured start in inference instead of swimming in chaos and getting data overwhelm (see how this is also partially "broken" in autists). I see LLMs as more general than humans in terms of data but i would say less general in terms of deeper problem solving or what makes humans humans (more vague heuristics, emotional reasoning), and lack metaawareness, embodiment, mutimodality, planning, since they are learned by bruteforcing more instead of the by evolution preinstalled heuristics and metaheuristics, or another structures in our cortical hiearchy priors when learning that humans have. Going from classic neural nets to transformers with attentional mechanism was a good step though, still not enough structure similar to human reasoning. I think Active Inference is closer to that, but probably still too austistic. Then one can think about how the fact that brain on the hardware level operates as neuronal resonance network governed by neural field theory with holistic field computing (or other implementational models of consciousness) plays a role on terms of qualia computing. How well it helps to reduce computational costs in terms of data, energy, time,... Stochastic = probabilistic Parrot = repeating If our resonance network couples with patterns in the environment in terms of learned probabilistic heuristics, that seems to work to me. One structure LLMs might also be missing is also the hard boundary between self and other and raw sensory data that you dont still have as a baby and learn it, unifying neural activity attractor, that is broken in psychedelics, meditation or some autists or other natural or non natural ways, or overall Kegan stages of development, or different more or less communicating functional networks we have, or that we're selforganizing system of parts, or real time updating of priors according to sensory data with any interaction, or that we learn change in dynamic qualia streams instead of static snapshots, that we also act in embodied way, all that has certain computational advantages and disadvantages. But one can ask to which extend those structures can be emergent in any intelligence. Or how automatically/universally emergent it Is versus do we need to hardcode some better types of evolutionary pressures and do we need different hardware. Or do we really want to mimic humans, what if we need some other direct hardcoded or indirect evolutionary pressures (architecture, priors, training data or consequences of those) that are more efficient, general, compressing, contextswitching, fit etc. than what evolution recruited for in human information processing architecture to maximize fitness for our niche in our environment? Also everything in biology is constructed from stratch, our organism's structure including brain is fuzzy to our environment adaptible ducktaped spaghetti that emerges from an embryo by dynamic interaction of genome (where genome was constructed by stochastic natural selection with tons of fuzzy evolutionary pressures) and existing developing structure with the environment, while structure of LLMs is more hardcoded and given from the beggining, even tho its weights flexible to a degree while learning, we have more variable metaparameters. https://twitter.com/TrendsCognSci/status/1697729082312794376?t=t3kE6hsINeTOILKlKmlf4g&s=19 Joscha Bach: Life, Intelligence, Consciousness, AI & the Future of Humans | Lex Fridman Podcast #392 - YouTube What are Cognitive Light Cones?

Yeah I suspect understanding and empathizing will lead to change and cooperation more than futher angry polarizing division. I want culture of connection and compassion among diverse values. But some values seem to inherently be incompatible. Changing the value distribution to a tolerating compassione longtermist values should be IMO done more smartly. Though sometimes peaceful dialog or changing external incentives for the emergence of the values isnt strong enough of a pressure so one has to use more radical (ideally nonviolent if possible) approaches. Though sometimes Czech tradition might be the only way for systemic change, throwing leaders out of the window. Or maybe not, as it started a big war. Or maybe that is sometimes needed to stop opressive dictatorship or something similar.
Should we instead of lossfunction predicting next token in transformers optimize for short/long term quasicoherence to model metastable adaptivity in this changing world with some regularities across time like humans

In terms of autimation in general, i see the issue in that if you automate cognitively/physically low effort/repetive jobs without creating something like universal basic income in our system where people need income to survive, people can end up working harder jobs, competing with AIs on the job market, instead of AIs making our life easier. And if art if automated as well and there is lower economic incentive to give artists money, that makes it harder as well to do jobs that are creative. Same for research possibly. For many jobs its not replacement but a copilot - usually the harder ones tho. And there are lots of new jobs creates related to maintaining the AI. Many useless jobs will be cut off, but without UBI people that aren't that bright have to make money somehow.
But when i look at my family, where my mom or aunt isnt at all able to learn new stuff, doesn't know any new technology really, doing the same corporate decision tree 24/7, and how lots of people in such corporate are very incompetent when it comes to technology, and one can't blame them really as they didnt really grown in such rapidly changing environment like today and intelligence and neuroplasticity and will to learn is limited. Usually they can't even automate what already can be today lol. I fear what's gonna happen there if UBI isnt implemented for them. And i dont want creative jobs to die too really without UBI.
Automation is probably inevitable, here I'm thinking that too fast accelerationism will cause lots of social issues and to maximize advantages and minimize disadvantages of it we should take in account our adapting capacity more and help it as well
If we want theoretical utopia, if AGI can solve all tasks better than us and we become outdated, technically if wellbeing is stored in the process of doing better than expected at resolving various error gradients, including finding new ones relating to our old ones, then it could generate infinite perfect series of tasks creating a whole for us (feeling of perfect growth), a version of wireheading, which videogames kind of already exploit.

Alternatively instead of giving all agency to this utopic AGI, we could upgrade our biological machinery by biological/physical upgrading or merging with machines such that we never become deprecated, and we can overcome our limited agency, information processing ability (ability to navigate various problem solving spaces, get from point a to point b in some problem solving space), hedonium (enhancing suboptimality or hacking our objective function or substrate of wellbeing etc.), all at once, and working together with other pure or mergings of biological and nonbiological intelligent systems
I would argue days where you do as little as possible (for me ideally with do nothing meditation) are crucial if one has a brain that gets easily overwhelmed with everything if days are too intense like mine, to let it recharge and clean it self as much as it needs, to prevent fatigue, burnout, motivation loss, chaos etc.

Is currently the most effective intervention creating some Cambridge analytica like sociál engineering with AI designed ingroup/individual custom tailored sticky narratives that are left leaning, longtermist, existential risk/crises alarming, with solutions, to fight with the same weapons that populists and right wingers Are using with spreading polarizing insults of outgroups disconnected from real problems... but do we really want to feed into the Moloch or instead try to create cooperation incentivizing evolutionary forces like culture of connection, compassion (training theory of mind), wellbeing, steelmanning perspectives and synthetizing with doublecruxed common shared ground on a higher order of complexity in dialog, meaning with to that aligned media and social media, rationalist systemic holistic interconnected nonlinear complex thinking, openmindedness, epistemic humility, unified languages, togetherness in this world full of problems we face together, and shared good future utopian globalist vision, cooperative regulations (UN etc.), education etc., or are these evolutionary forces just not strong enough and we have to use the weapons the destabilizing polarizing moloch inducing competing shorttermist nonaltruistic sociopathic selfcentered uneducated agents are using as the only way to beat them, just like how to prevent dynamics like China eating Tibet, Christianity spreading by crusades, shingistan spreading everywhere,... are the most effective cultures and thoughts, agents made of subagents, that effectively coordinate violence on scale in terms of physical, economic, status, diplomatic, technological etc. power if not restricted strongly enough by altruistic internal and external incentives for cooperation?

Existence is useful nonexistent construct
Free will in summary
Background quietness, stillness, spaciousness is my favorite meditation object Its like awareness being aware of itself Global selfreferential something Instead of local attention arrow coming from some source catching some meditation object Background of experience looking at itself Very nondual By realizing that every concrete structure in experience is made of empty space, "one" falls into this experience of groundlessness The most effortless meditation (the "deeper" "one" dissolves into it the lesser labels and descriptions make any logical sense there) Ultimately neither perception nor not perception? Neither qualia nor not qualia? Neither "neither x nor not x" nor not "neither x nor not x"! 😄 By slow dissolution all concrete energy structures dissolve and you just get empty space Then "you" can focus on the nothingness itself Void Its also beautiful when attention arrow breaks down and all of reality is percieved at once Looking at night sky in this mode is loving Empty space I suspect you get it when you kill most local information processing in the brain and what is left is just global information context and spacetime seems to be very fundamental there, and then you can collapse even that into infinitely small nothingness point and then collapse even that, it seems to me "there is experience" is the deepest dissolvable prior, which when dissolved you blink out of existence for a bit and you get a hole in memory, which is cessation where your brain's coherent information processing activity totally disintegrates and the operating system restarts from stratch which can be very healing Dissolution My favorite way is seeing how its made of space, or surrounded by infinite space, or seeing it as not needed for survival, letting it go, anything can be dropped and experience is still there (but even that dissolves ultimately :D)
not everyone can hyperfocus that intensely that everything else in their experience stop existing But also not everyone can focus that there is no more mind wandering happening (when attention is weaker)

When it comes to going meta, I know about the existence of category theory (spent lots of time there), universal algebra, homotopy type theory, set theory. I was thinking if someone attempted to compare existing physical theories of everything using less or more mathematically rigorous ways, defined as unifying fundamental forces including gravity, unifying GR with QM, or possibly explaining other problems in physics for it to be more complete. Its interesting how diverse in the physics community is the definition of the term "theory of everything". For some people it just means quantizing gravity, for some it means unifying QM with GR, for some it means also unifying other fundamental forces, others want all other existing problems in physics solved by it.
I wish to take the mathematical tools each unifying model in physics is using and find some abstract isomorphisms between them and how they map to existing measured empirical data, how much stuff they coverage, what are their limitations etc., and maybe unify where they meet on empirical data? Here's nice GPT4 sketch of the idea that could be done more rigolously on that landscape. Quanta Magazine FEP might play a role as an ontology, generator of process theories, and epistemological framework, not just unifying forces but also scales?

Since i see humans as special case of stochastic parrots with tons of evolutionary pretrained biases in priors and reasoning patterns, (Active Inference and quantum Free Energy Principle) i dont know what other empirical predictions would that discussion give me I see all physics as information processing. Dead, biological, or by us constructed systems. Difference is in hardware (its ultimately all raw quantum physics/quantum field theory/quantum darwinism in physics anyway, but different systems exploit different hardware and scales and concrete or general niches more than others for their goals), functional architectures across scales trained in evolution among species or individuals (or any dynamics on levels of abstraction on higher scales in general) I think you can theoretically always find a corresponding Active Inference/other data science architecture to find the generative model that runs on that (or other) hardware. Active Inference can be applied to any physical system as a modelling language for interpreting thermodynamic energy flow (or other hardware) as type of information processing. I guess i define stochastic parrot as "you can find a information processing architecture" which in physics as information processing ontology works for any physical system by statistical mechanics.

There's awareness, field of consciousness like a background spacetime, and interacting ecosystem of alters (subagents or processes in general)s as the content in that, that tend to merge when there's enough correlation through interaction between them, but dont have to, or there can be some higherorder metaprocess that plays with those subprocesses also, being like a dirigent of orchestra of cats, and there can be multiple of those observing or governing dirigent or another higherorder governing dirigent directing the subdirigents. the governing structures dont have to be hiearchical and can also get circular or flat (when experiencing nothingness, there's none of those things). they can be formalized as interacting markov blankets with various degrees of complexity (inert particle, modeller, agentic acter,...) corresponding to nonlinearly interlocking activity of various neural populations in the free energy principle paradigm 🤔 and possibly math of neural field theory can be used - interacting nonlinear clusters of waves, shapes

if space and time are constructs of temporary individual self, you can't really talk about before and after death somewhere, as those mental constructs assume time and simulate hypotheticals in our inner world simulation All the models of identity seem to assume being embedded inside some objective space and time Plus ideas about reincarnation as well But if space and time and distinctions and division and individuality and locality and boundaries can be seen as just relativistic nonfundamental emergent construction of our perception as error correcting code, then all this logic outside of our perception falls apart It does fall apart in the context where space and time arent seen as real, which you can also see as a philosophical assumption that one can assert, but doesnt have to. To give more context: Space and time can be seen as part of subjective experience generated by the brain and here one can say its not real and an illusion created by the brain, but one can also say that since we experience it therefore it is real under different framework. Here when we "cease", space and time and everything else also ceases, if we assume its embedded in the brain, which we dont have to ultimately. Or it can be seen as part of the physical world from a more fundamental physics perspective and depending on what model of physics with what kind of philosophical interpretation you choose you get different kinds of results. You can say that spacetime in classical mechanics is as real. You can say spacetime that is seen as fundamental in quantum filed theory is the true real one. You can say spacetime that is emergent from timeless quantum mechanics or other models in physics that go beyond QTF is still real because it is emergently existing. You can also say its not real and just an illusion and only the deeper structure that doesnt deeply have space and time is real and it looks as if there's spacetime, but there is no spacetime. Or you can say all of those are trying to approximate reality that goes beyond all concepts and models we construct. Here anything being "real" dissolves. This makes totally everything arbitrary and concepts can be seen as just instrumental nonreal models but we're still mammals trying to survive (which is just another nonreal useful model trying to grasp the ieffable) so its useful models. 😄

I'm thinking what Free Energy Principle and Active Inference is and how to explain it well. I see it as being simultaneously many things. It's mathematical "truth", epistemological framework, scalefree classical or quantum physics information theoretic ontology, generator of process theories for any physical systems across scales (mainly brain and society), machine learning architecture, psychology model, what else? Different fields speaking different languages require different types of explanations, such as for threorists, engineers, information theory, classical physics, quantum physics, machine learning people, philosophers, mathematicians, neuroscientists, biologists, complex systemists, psychologists, sociologists, laymen. I think designing ideal explanations for different types of people (aligning with their reference frames!) is key to popularizing FEP effectively!

language for unity of knowledge under one metaframe, comparision, integration, if two models have empirical grounding and are fundamentally incompatible, finding a compatible model on higher order of complexity to account for as much empirical data as possible with one model, and assuming that no one single concrete model can predict all of reality and just together approximate different parts with different successes in different domains using different tools, assumptions, lenses that are not allencompassing, with predictive and explanatory advantages and disadvantages in relation to different contexts

making the least amount of pragmatic assumptions possible with greatest integrative and explanatory power (occams razor) I am therefore I think. KARL FRISTON - YouTube
I start with no philosophical assumptions, nothing, potential for everything, and to ground it in something as minimal as possible as universal as possible I use pragmatic empiricalism with free energy principle as guiding algorithm that is ontologically agnostic/fluid agnostic and then start with fundamental mathematics that can describe physics, consciousness, or monism and then emergences or derivations or mathematical approximations or describing different scales to unify all science fields mathematics and possible nonmathematics and create a playground to compare and synthetize all the predictive models we have in science and mostly focus on models that try to understand consciousness and societal dynamics for wellbeing,
from everything we collapse the full potentiality probability wave function into a concrete symmetry breaking subset of "coherent" language ActInf Livestream #040.0 ~ "A free energy principle for generic quantum systems" - YouTube

Science communication of physics to people that know almost no math is pretty hard, one has to use imagery and stories and analogies that somewhat slightly bring closer to or approximate it. Many argue if it makes it right or wrong.
I see a lot of arguing that sociology or philosophy could be often explained in less technical academic words. I would argue that the advantage of technical jargon is useful for encoding more complexity in a lot of situations, but also not always. Also if its maths then it can be simulated. But often people look for insights for everyday life in the studies and get bombared with the jargon they dont need in their context and get angry. Here science communication that approximately translates it to less jargon language is also needed IMO.
Also AI and consciousness is even more fun with the concensus chaos.

rarefap/raresex as alternative to nofap to keep it magical
I vibe with QRI's and quantum free energy principles's ontology and try to unify them - physics models are also consciousness models, that approximate the substrate of physics that is the substrate of consciousness - quantum field theory, quantum darwinism, spacetime from entaglement, quantum loop gravity, holographic principle, quantum formulation of the free energy principle, or other fundamental physics models, or other quantum or classical models used in physics and modelling consiousness - whatever you choose and synthetize, its also describing consciousness, and individual experience in a qFEP's quantum reference frame implemented as bound by neural synchrony or quantum coherence (neuronal superpositions) or QRI's topologically segmented pocket or other solutions or some synthesis of those.
The question if we can construct a physics theory that can predict everything in total accuracy is also deep, because we're local observers with finite modelling capacity and computational power (bounded rationality), but its the best we got, so assuming unity of underlying physical substrate with topological fieldlike information theoretic dynamics being substrate of consciousness that we approximate with various unifying physics models is IMO the best we can assume for doing science, aka creating predictive models that give us the agency to manipulate reality with technologies or psychotechnologies derived from them.
I prefer rarefap/raresex as alternative for it not loosing magic. Doing it rarely to supercharge sexual experience though enhanced intensity, drive, spirituality, love, magic, thirst for life, creativity and so on, minimizing disadvanategs and maximizing advantages, and less in high doses narrowing addiction means more sense of global meaning which used to be a problem to me, not bombarding the reward circuitry, letting it recharge, but not totally abstaining from it. Timing (potent or hyperpotent) reward sensory stimuli (porn, high sugar/fat/E621 food, yummy stuff on social media,...) induced endorphin/endocannaboid/opioid/etc. releases to not build too much tolerance but also not doing anything at all leading to for longer time unused resource of them that doesnt increase in size anymore by more recharging, maximizing total amount of euphoria qualia and overall wellbeing qualia, or similarly with psychedelics I believe there is optimal threshold where the total sum of euphoria from such rewarding activities is maximized by choosing some perfect intervals between them. (essencially computing integral) (that is dynamical and individual) My dynamics are probably unique because of my extreme hypersensitivity to all stimuli. There's only finite amount of energy (computational power) and reward circuitry reinforcement loops, tolerance and so on. But those circuits can when used wisely generate very pleasureful or deeply meaningful experiences. And it can be used to reinforce certain activities by seeing it as a reward after completing some bigger task, or the reward must be not known because then it stops being a big reward, so ideally when the intervals between are random, which generates this kind of motivation to fullfill those tasks (among many other types of motivations such as nonsexual social connection) Also I would argue there's a big difference between just not so meaningfully fapping and a whole process of sexual intercourse with foreplay, tantric interconnecting, cuddling, slow sex, (instinct driven) fast sex, postcuddles, sleep, that's very healing thing!

I start with general definition of entaglement: noseparability General definition of classical information: pointer states that went through decoherence's natural selection (spacetime, spin, momentum, some classical comprehensible property that isnt just probabilstic wavefunction) Perception is entaglement through relativism Binding is information theoretically entaglement by nonseparability of those qualia They might be nonentagled particles, but the whole experience is nonseparable fundamentally, but we can separate part of our experience and that also kind of goes through decoherence into classical information (decoherence is lost of relationality, loss of globality) Entaglement is kind of like emergence here Topological pocket implies classical spacetime's "objective" relativistic location pointer state Holonomic brain theory - Wikipedia#Deep_and_surface_structure_of_memory by quantum coherence (neuronal superpositions) spacetime emerging from entaglement now seems to work on both global physical and local neurophenomenological level
In full generality, general quantum system can be considered conscious according to various mathematical conditions on quantum or classical scales (all theories of consciousness, topological pocket in classical spacetime pointer state) with various overlaps between them. Do all topological pockets have a corresponding Quantum reference frame's cocone diagram implemented as Markov blanket classicaly? Most likely not the other way around.
Before we test various theories of consciousness (turning off irreducible Markov blanket at the top of the hiearchy? phenomenal bridges?) we can just believe mathematical consistency and phenomenological correspondence.

all classical is in the state of total decoherence spacetime as entaglement glue concrete quantum states with known particle's information are stable when isolated the particle's information dissolves in decoherence when interacting aka entagling with the environment and its all lost classical world is one giant beautiful emergent glued fuzzyfication When we isolate quantum system with entagled particles with error correcting and so on in quantum computing - that prevents second law of thermodynamics from dissolving it via decoherence and disallows breaking time symmetry? we're interesting entaglement networks classical information (about relative position of particle, feline mortality statuses, object positions, tempature, for example) is mutual agreement (concenzus) of entaglement network encoding by robust replication like error correcting all classical information is error correcting code? in quantum computers we want only concrete qubit in quantum logic gates computation in classical world we get so much other classical information we get shared relative spaciotemporal hallucination with subjective linguistic semantics do psychedelics fuck with the mutual agremeents? disentagle us with our shared world? or we are still entagled but with added crazy mutation of possible interpretations that are never disconnected from our classical world tho no system is closed no system is isolated its on a spectrum tho too open and one dissolves into entropy aka entaglement are mental processes that are kept classically an entaglement network with those mutual agreements but on psychedelics explode to even more entropy<->entaglement through all the open quantum subsystems becoming even more open, more correlated its higher order entaglement, not just concrete particle entaglement (that might be minimal) is generalized universal wavefunction universal statespace of all possible statespaces when we measure a particle we isolate it from the universal wavefunction not taking in account its entaglement with everything but getting information on that scale that is kept there via it being a pointer state aka mutual agreement in the entaglement network replicated everywehre in the network its von neumann entropy 0 for the universal wavefunction but its bigger for its subsystems because its the quantum state equivalent to classical state so we get classical probability possibilities of outcomes of measurments in quantum computers we need to disentagle particles from its environment to get only isolated internal stable entaglement for computing that isnt interefered by explosive entagling decoherence with the environment entaglement is just correlation between open quantum systems slowly killing its boundaries any quantum thermodynamic nonqeuilibrium steady state is kept at bay by resisting entropy aka entaglement by internal error code correction the more open the more entagled the more fuzzy dissipation of energy into the environment is loss of information more entropic internal structuring is (potential for) increase of information tho! globally information is conserved but local increase in entaglement leads to loss of information locally at heart of quantum mechanics, unitarity is perservation of probability which is equivalent to time reversal symmetry and perservation of information and therefore energy copenhagen intepretation breaks this but its fundamentally dualistic assuming nonclassicality of obserever and so on everett interpetation ftw entaglement between two systems is also the degree of openness of the systems leading to correlations mmmm openness of the space time information merging in space and time when you dont measure the space and time of a particle/system in a wavefunction the superposition is like the system's nonseparable parts internal disconnection from our sense of space and time 2nd law of thermodynamics creating entropy creating entaglement killing space killing concetrated energy and thus information evolving in time but globally total amount of energy and information is conserved by perservation of probability with time reversal symmetry what resists and survives in this chaos and doesnt entangle into everything and dissipates all information to everywhere is the classical world of quasistable systems
i love how shannon entropy is special case of it according to Neumann its generalization of thermodynamic entropy into information theory amount of hidden information in a system apparently Neumann told Shannon to call it entropy as he didnt realize it 😄 one way to think of it is the more possible outcomes an event has, the more Shannon entropy it has Von Neumann entropy generalizes it to the quantum and its the heart of quantum information theory whole wavefunction of two entagled particles has von neuman entropy 0 because the wavefunction has all the information about the system you can gather but the isolated entangled particle has von neumann entropy bigger than 0 since there's hidden information in the rest of the wavefunction, making its entropy equivalent to classical particle in statistical mechanics i like the connection that more entropy leads to more possible configurations of the system and therefore more information is contained in it entropy is life
i think i managed to get into a more deconstructed state than before much more easier access to "see" clearly contructedness of everything making it dissolve when evaluated as not needed for fundamental survival everytime a certain subset of qualia is classified as a construct, it dissolves, but this process must continue recursively, seeing the constructedness of the deconstructors infinitely quickest way to stressless transcendental void beyond all but including all resting in transcental conceptless void, so much inner defragmenting and unification
Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023/course-syllabus-2 Can this scalefree metamodel be used as a fundamental ontology to encapsulate all scientific fields, where every thing is some kind of special case on some scale on some level of abstraction with some kind of implementation? Are organisms nested holographic quantum reference frames, attractor in nonequilibrium thermodynamics constructing goals that form higher order goals across scales? There are so many concrete or more general equations and models used in different natural fields and subfields in different scales with different advantages and disadvantages, predictive and explanatory power and paradoxes in different contexts. Can we put them all in this metaframework to find potential for compatibility and incompatibility analysis, create merging and synthesis on a higher order of complexity, and gather the sum of total human scientific knowledge on one place in this structured manner? Theory of every thing, At start, there is just an empty canvas full of infinite potential On this empty canvas, you can put any set of fundamental philosophical assumptions Those philosophical assumptions are initial structures that constrain what structures are classified as true and false As I'm writing this, this is already initializing many philosophical assumptions, like total openmindedness fundamentalism, truth relativism and propositional information structure ontology and so on, but we have to start somewhere To create futher constrain on the space of possible structures, I'm gonna assume that each structure in this metamodel can live (as has many implementations realtime) as a structure inside potential system inside physicalism with quantum information processing ontology Using (quantum) free energy principle as abstraction that works tautologically for making sense of any structure, a minimal unifying model across fields, scales, contexts and so on Any philosophical, ontological, pragmatic and so on assumption that an Active Inference agent can assert is a concrete phenotype, an evolutionary niche emerging from the evolutionary interactions of the agent's genetics (initial source code) and environment (inputs to source code's development) Any thing, process, pattern a sensemaking agent or collective of agents can locate in its constructed spacetime is a statistical correlation between its internal and external states to reduce its uncertainity about the world to initialize uncertainity reducing internal metacognitive model and policies updates and external actions Most predictive structures are hieachical probabilistic bayesian multiscale metagraphs with links corresponding to predicted causality In biological agents, this uncertainity imperative can be futher granualized into maslow hiearchy of needs, reformulated as a interconnected nodes corresponding to different homeostatic subagents with goals that through collective behavior form higher order goals across scales about individual or collective uncertainity reduction They correspond to nested holographic quantum reference frames, attractors in quantum nonequilibrium thermodynamics Each statistical (dynamical) markov blanket corresponding to a thing has its own implementational level, such as animal, neuron, functional brain region, molecule, fundamental particle and so on Various models or (differential) equations in various fields studying physical systems study some local very concretely implemented subset of all those global general dynamics, they're some evolutionary learned bayesian phenotype, some attractor, some markov blanket, some thing stable in (usefully constructed) space and time, or beyond spacetime in various fundamental models in physics Quantum free energy principle tells us that for other systems for communication measurable physical classical information lives on a markov blanket boundary of a system and correponds to the internal system's dynamics, taken from the holographic principle in physics ActInf Livestream #040.0 ~ "A free energy principle for generic quantum systems" - YouTubeg

Getting enlightened is about "looking" for the sources of thermodynamic symmetry breakings aka concrete restricting categorizing knotty sector dividing structure generators and dissolving them this way including the global asymmetry of the looker, doer and perciever in a spacetime with a center until none of those structures are generated anymore and there's almost no more global stressing and resistance to the flow of energy and annealing tends to do this implicitly also in the subconscious processes and sometimes making them conscious giving the ability to manipulate with them consciouly.
Experience is made of lighcones - local self and global attention arrows, awareness itself constructing space and time. Turn those lightcones to themselves or to eachother until "start" and "end" gets so correlated that it explodes into a bubble or into entropic structurelessness.
All structure can be dissolved by underfitting rewriting, overwhelming explosion, irrelevance destabilization, or not giving it attention overtime that it dies unsupported on its own.

Just Look At The Thing! – How The Science of Consciousness Informs Ethics — EA Forum Bots The Symmetry Theory of Valence 2020 Overview What are your ethics? i call my ethics approximate practical utilitariasm such that edge cases and unrealistic scenarios that wouldnt be compatible with the current system that can be mathematically optimal are taken out (plus taking in account the limiting power of the models) for example if you assume negative utilitarism and some buddhist notions that all concrete life is suffering then the optimal utilitarian move is to get rid of all concrete life to prevent any futher suffering lol and if suffering is futher generalized by asymmetries in panpsychist framework then the optimal utilitarian move is to theoretically convert the whole universe into zero structure absolutely symmetrical state more generally if we mathematize psychological valence, it seems that where the line saying this is neutral valence, between positive and negative valence, where its set seems to be arbitrary if we assume different buddhistic notions (or other framework's notions) where positive valence exists too, then its about maximizing that utility, though in the panpsychist symmetry formalism its again creating as much symmetries in physics as possible 5-MeO-DMT trips or Jhanas that are meditative states are with almost no structure, with the least amount of symmetry breaking in experience, which seems to be measured in the brain as well to a first approximation, and I also dont know any other states of consciousness that feel as good as those assuming the utility we maximize is psychological valence under those formalisms though pragmatically we need to take in account the whole societal system's all sort of natural laws, game theoretic survivability, ressilience, stability, progression out of bad local minimas and so on

I often wonder I would suspect the closer they are to mathematical neurophenomenological models, the more universal they tend to be for people that are often inhabiting somewhat deconstructed state Or state that was never really constructed by pretrained evolution's softwares like the social simulations we tend to construct The stronger the fuzzy statistical or implementational isomorphism is between two conscious agents' neurophenomenological states, the more likely they will synchronized and feel mutual human relationship interconnectedness Some say strong human relationships is more fundamental basic need than physiological needs in Maslow hiearchy of needs We went from social coherence having pretty stable nonequlibrium steady states in villages stabilized by local culture and rituals to internet age that is constantly penetrating any attempts at stable cultural attractors by constant information overload from everywhere, leading to inability of individuals to synchronize in this extremely technilogically interconnected and also culturally polarized world From (pre)modernism to postmodernism Though i love the attempts at creating stable cultural frameworks by the synthesis of all good from all concrete frameworks into a metaframework (metamodern approaches) Psychedelics and deconstructive meditation helps a ton to get out of concrete local minima, which can lead to belief network's constant unstability, which can generate both random concrete processes battling with eachother dissonanly not unified by their intrinsic similarity or some top down cybernetic controller leading to unpleasant mental chaos, or it can lead to empty mind full of freedom and nonsymbolic free symmetrical consonant flow of isness that buddhism and taoism loves Another attempt is taking the great amount of conflicting processes from various cultural frameworks and try to stabilize them by creating s metaframework in metamodern synthetizing integrative ways, unify rational and spiritual enlightenement, unify various scientific schools of thought with unifying various spiritual schools of thought, or creating a metatheory on top of them, creating this global stabilization of concrete belief networks' topologies interconnected by general correlations See it all using the free energy principle fully general mathematical framework for formalizing any information processing system?

Taky jsem zkoumal agency, přeposílám z konverzace: "Great talk about how limited metacognitive agency over thought and preferences is implemented in the mind Conversation between Mark Solms, Chris Fields, and Mike Levin 2 - YouTube aka the ability to decide what your next thought and preferences will be is limited by our phenotype (the set of observable characteristics or traits of an organism (in this case of our mind)) emerging from genetic and environmental influences Technically Big five model of personality or Jung's archetypes are describing phenotypes By being raised in specific culture also determines a phenotype in thinking and behavior In dynamical systems language its an attractor There also seem to be various neural correlates that determine the strength of forms of agency, such as disconnection of certain brain regions in unconctollable destructive addictive behavior. Someone should invest heavily in brain computer interfaces enhancing the control over ourselves by strenghtening those neural networks 😃 I find this as fascinating start when it comes to decoding thoughts Semantic reconstruction of continuous language from non-invasive brain recordings | bioRxiv Sense of agency for intracortical brain–machine interfaces | Nature Human Behaviour (Sense of agency for intracortical brain–machine interfaces) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811923004068 (Disentangling the neural correlates of agency, ownership and multisensory processing) Hmm here they locate what goes wrong in decreased sense of agency Neural correlates of sense of agency in motor control: A neuroimaging meta-analysis - PubMed I would argue the development of the networks implementing healthy sense of agency needs to be fundamentally supported by training them like muscles (genetics also play a role) so there's evolutionary pressures for them to be developed. This seems to be the fuction of certain meditation practices, going out of comfort zone practices, systematic dedication to one bigger task skill, stabilizing routine skill, or delayed gratification practices 🤔 Its also interesting how stimulants or lower doses of psychedelics tend to increase agency

I love one lens on psychotheraphy, that lots of psychotherapeuts see their clients mechanistically and try to look for a mechanistic problem that needs to be solved according to predefined symbolic trees/ methodologies. This definitely has its use and should be used a lot, but fusing rationality with intuition is IMO ideal. But I would argue that to fully understand the lens of the other beings that might be deeply suffering, one should try to synchronize with them as much as possible mentally. Get as much as possible into their world by listening as deeply as possible, synchronizing breathing itself can increase sense of connection. Frontiers | Therapeutic Alliance as Active Inference: The Role of Therapeutic Touch and Synchrony Being in the present moment with the other as deeply as possible, almost fusing together mentally and this way finding solutions by using the deepest intuition. Something like tends to be practiced in Gestalt psychotherapheutic method for example. The deep compassion definitely has its advantages and disadvantages, as feeling the suffering of others so directly can really overwhelm one's mental state if not enough healing to get back into less suffering states is done. It also seems that in the current loneliness crisis, therapheuts tend to be the only people that create at least some human connection for some people that feel fundamentally lonely. We need more culture of compassion for people to feel more connected to eachother. Strenghten neural correlates of compassion through environmental (culture, training methods?) (and genetic?) influences Neural correlates of compassion - An integrative systematic review - PubMed Compassion is fundamental mental muscle to cultivating strong human relationships that are number one predictor of individual and collective wellbeing. We need more culture of compassion in our culture. An 85-year Harvard study found the No. 1 thing that makes us happy in life: It helps us 'live longer'.

Four modes of thinking about cause prioritization | by Jakub Simek | Giving On The Edge | Medium
Wisdom is knowing I am nothing Love is knowing I am everything
My current perspective: From the perspective of moral responsibility for all of humanity, all of current and future generations and looking at current climate reports I would say we need to globally as humanity act more to minimize the acceleration and existing destructive effects of climate change as the current priority (you also have other crisises like mental health, loneliness, energy crisis, overall metacrisis with sensemaking, education etc., or potential risks including nuclear, pandemics, nanoweapons, bioweapons, artificial intelligence (full of lots of perspectives), volcanoes,...). The current coordination doesn't seem to be enough to address the increasing negative climate change statistics and the metacrisis when we look at the current statistics. What are the current core causes of the climate problems? Corporations with big power capital having the most systemic influence maximizing profits short term individually (as in, not caring about the whole humanity), caring just for themselves in polarized competetive dynamics. What are the solutions? What strategies do we have? Spread the message? Fixing symptoms such as carbon extraction from athmosphere, polution extraction, helping biosphere in other ways? Fixing its causes? Make cheaper and better green technologies in science and practice? We can transform the internal structure of the corporations. Use peaceful cooperative dialog in attempt to transform them? Science lecture inside them? Beat them economically by winning over them in competition? Create less psychopathic more compassionate and more globally morally caring corporations winning over them. Make green technologies more economically viable. Use language of money more? Use economical and political pressure on those psychopathic agents. Vote for green politicians? Sanctions? Altruistic financing? Use civil unrest pressure. Or damage them? Use violence? Or erase them? I understand Eliezer bombing GPU clusters to minimize unaligned AGI risk. Systemic revolution of steering our humanity superorganism away from selftermination with those cancerous cells slowly killing its host into a system not based on such strong psychopathic competetion? Attempt to rebuild society on collective meaning? But would that be enough force to stop the current strongest cancerous power structures screwing it up for everyone? Strenghten regulations? Strenghten global top down governance such as United Nations? That will create civil unrest from the psychopathic people and corperations (which already happens a lot), but if language of cooperation and peaceful dialog isnt enough, what then is enough? Are AI technologies accelerating it even more? Certain degree of competetion and arms races is evolutionary good and has certain advantages, like technological innovation, but too much of it leads us to those multipolar traps. Is peace enough? Is violence needed? Could violence lead to accelerated selftermination and disconnection instead of cultivation of culture of connection and harmony and resolving conflicting parts not aligned with the collective wellbeing? We dont want opression like in Russia, or chaos like in Somalia, we want something third that benefits the longterm wellbeing of humanity! Strong education about all of this? Culture of compassion and connection? Liquid democracy? Communes? Degrowth? What are other possible strategies? What are the most optimal combinations of those strategies to create the chances of the most efficient collective long term wellbeing, survival and flourishing? All of attempts individually add up into one giant force of care for all current and future generations! I believe we will succeed when we join forces together effectively!

People are like computers that learn patterns in their environment using evolutionary biases and their goals aka basic needs are determined by both evolution and learning such as learned selfactualization and we wanna align them to care about the survival and needs of all of humanity instead just psychopathically just caring about themselves (some with extremely big influence) to solve climate change and metacrisis

Expand your caring cognitive lightcone to infinity
I wanna analyze Scott Alexander's brain. The wide context and depths of his writings are infinite. What do you think might be special about his qualia computer? Feels so free from evolutionary constrains and very effectively densely compressed tons of information.
Instead of asking "Is this inherently good or bad?" ask "What advantages and disadvantages does this have?"
Raw capitalism creates an evolutionary pressure/incentive/objective function of raw profits, incentives that go against what feels good to most people. Money on money dynamics even more. You can use top down restrictions to maximize chances of collective survival, increase collective long term wellbeing and meaning, but its not given that governing structure will be aligned with values of people, wellbeing etc., so it needs to be checked via for example multiple governing structures or ideally by democracy. To avoid lots of meaning and wellbeing and theory of governance issues when electing, we need education of people in those issues, not being stuck in one world view with focused attention, aligning values of the governing parts with the layman compatible with wellbeing/risks science. Power check and reduce psychopathic agents by culture of connection and compassion? Gene editing to enhance compassion? Can laymen people even be systematically thaught these complex topics, is that realistic? Or is the only solution some strong enough evolutionary pressure on the structue of the system from wellbeing, existencial risk, etc. scientists? Some kind or technocracy? That needs power and corruption checking too. How to approximately evaluate expertise to minimize psychopathic agents? Some academic system that isnt as broken as current academic system? And who checks that? Some metascientists/metagovernaning structures? Who checks that? Do we need antimoloch God under everything tonescape this loop? How to avoid psychopathic evolutionary pressures? Is centralized power fundamentally doomed? Degrowth? Decentralized independent donbar number communes only? Does that halt collective action against for example climate change? How to prevent tribal wars? Is that even possible with current total interdependence? Does current system halt efficient collective action as well? Somewhere yes in some problems (EU climate) somewhere not (USA) (collective sensemaking and wellbeing), but not globally, and we have the metacrisis. Can gametheoretically stable "ideal" system equivalent to benevolent illuminati Gods controling everything for long term survival and wellbeing of the people even exist? There is also issue of plurality of existing moral/ethical etc. systems. Respect or try to reform those dynamics or some middle way? There is also the issue of plurality of models of wellbeing and risks and that also come from plularity of values. Can we synthetize them? Create evolutionary selection dynamics between them measured by their success? Minimize friction between them in an ecosystem where they interact? How about plurality of methods quantifying and measuring success? All this prediction and measuring stuff also takes tons of computational power and complexity that might be incomprehensible, we must approximate and select various comprehensible factors like in climate science. What are the best approximator factors to look for in the system? We're back at the issue of plurality. Synthetize? Pick most fit ones? If we go from theory back to practice and editing what we already have, how to create the most efficient set of evolutionary pressures to steer the current system's structure more towards wellbeing and risk mitigation? Strengthten economically wellbeing/risk research in effective altruism and its education and influence?

And how all those factors interconnect. How to make them respect, support and check eachother instead of fighting violently.

One of the reasons why lots of my interpersonal relationships are pretty unstable is that I basically have a lot of different personalities living inside of me that have formed in different periods of my life that I oscillate around and because some of radically different environments that formed some radically different subpersonalities they have a lot of trouble integrating with every other parts, so some of them live pretty separately and are activate mostly in the compatible environment, but lots of them also overlap, and all of them still want attention a lot of the time (existence among furries vs. existence among people who are into politics here in the Czech Republic or abroad or existence among people who are a lot into meditation, psychedelics, spirituality vs. existence in the family vs. existence among scientists vs. existence among technical people (which just kind of overlaps with furries) vs existence among ponies vs existence among normies vs existence among effective altruists vs existence among philosophers), I don't have any one concrete personality that's everywhere in all situations, but the closest thing to that is the part of me thats the most general, that wants to do good for everyone and increase wellbeing for everyone and survival of humanity and the best experiences for all living beings that cares for everyone like a mother. A grant request I was writing the last few days was exactly related to me wanting to map out solutions to the meaning and mental health crisis, metacrisis in general, and also the positive outlooks of the future, create a mathematical model for it (using Active Infernece), which allows for testing through simulations, and communicate them in impactful places, I want to go around to different centers, like centers of effective altruists, and give talks about putting those ideas into practice so they're not just in void. I may really hyperfocus on this one for a while now, but it might be ignoring the other more concrete parts of me, but maybe then again after some time I'll have a period where I'll explore my old parts again in different ways, balancing it all out. my most stable human relationships (all kinds, friends) are so far with those people that are similar kind of generalist thinkers
Why do people seem to feel so unhappy? Let's look at the biggest predictor of happiness - strong human relationships. The secret to happiness? Here’s some advice from the longest-running study on happiness - Harvard Health In what context do people live happy lives? When they're helping their tribe, or ingroup in general, unless you're a psychopath, and according to some researchers, psychopathy is on the rise. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/surviving-the-female-psychopath/202206/does-psychopathy-begin-us Where's the problem? I doubt genetic profile has changed, let's look into environmental factors. A lot of people report not being satisfied with their job, not seeing meaning in it, such as for example soul numbing corporate jobs, living from paycheck to paycheck. We need to feel connected to the collective and feel like we're doing good for it. This is the loneliness/interconnectedness crisis. We must cultivate a culture of connection to fix this. There are so many asymmetries in cultural dynamics killing this. Instead of making money for overly rich boss that's not altruistic, we wanna feel like adding value to our ingroup directly. This makes sense evolutionary, as this is the conditions we mostly evolved in.

The more local/smaller/concrete/rigid in the meaning graph the source of the positive valence is, the more it tends to be addictive aka narrowing the amount of things that bring us pleasure.
How to fix any problem: Locate and name maladative symtoms (surface processes) and the core generating functions (cause) those symtoms. Find and apply methods of fixing both symtoms and the core generator functions such that collapse of the system's stability doesn't happen by mathematical theory's derivation from the system's laws (regularities in time) or by experimenting. Spread solutions throught the system by efficient massage passing and incetivize parts to cooperate on solving this problem. In the spacial case of the meaning crisis - Find what you're best at: theoretical research, practical research in different scientific fields, engineering, accounting, working with people, spreading solutions - and do that, ideally do what isnt done enough yet, where work towards survival and flourishing is missing.

Rivalious foundations in dynamics are dissonance generators? 🤔 Designing collective error slopes / valence grandients / objective functions instead of individualistic by giving emphasis on collective action resolving collective problems, collective uncertainity resolution about basic needs
https://twitter.com/algorithmwatch/status/1678800286062727168
Rivalious dynamics emerge from trust issues that emerge from failure of one agent giving dependence to other agent to reducing their uncertainity about basic needs
What do we want? Reduce uncertainity about our basic needs and (evolutionary pressured by nature plus nurture) learned goals driven by values (minimize Active Inference agent's free energy (decrease dissonance) of objective functions pretrained by evolution or culture or individual inquiry in interconnected societal system). Evolution pretrained us to automatically depend on others in family, community, culture, nation state etc. That's broken by genes correlating with psychopathy combined with environmental influences such as for example pollution, inflamation, or depending uncertainity minimizing mutual agent to agent bond being unsuccesful and thus breaking, leading to feeling hurt and cascading trust issues leading to asymmetries and rivalious dynamics and isolation and individualization of the agent or clusters of agents in their social graph in relation to mimimizing uncertainity about basic needs, leading to loneliness and dissolution of motivation for collective synchronized sensemaking and shared goals to survive and flourish collectively, which can is fixable by strong enough evidence that bonding is worth it to satisfy basic needs and goals collectively by compatible language or action. Leaders do collective uncertainity reduction this at scale.

Hey I love your work, I love how your trying to synthetize cultural definitiions of enlightenment from east and west. I also loved your sythesis of the memetic tribes of the metacrisis. I come mostly from data science background and look at this collective sense making using stuff like information theory, aligned with sillicon valley and effective altruism. What I'm concerned about is using the the most effective tools to enchance collective sensemaking and wellbeing to mitigate existencial risks, flourish and be well, so
I'm also trying to map out all perspectices on the meaning/metacrisis. I was thinking that this kind of work could be accelerated and with higher impact created if we created some centralized tracker of what statistics go bad (such as climate change) or go good (such as technology solving diseases) and aligned solutions to making those sttiastics better
I'm working on a project where I try to frame those memetic tribes in terms of information theoretic language, and also integrate AI into this collective sensemaking, if you've ever heard of latent spaces and bayesianism or free energy principle or active inference.
direct problem: rivalious dynamics solution: changing the generation function by fusing with cultural eastern enlightenment by maximizing compassion which minimizes agents gain short term local profit instead of long term global profit (in terms of survival, flourishing, wellbeing)?
direct problem as a consequence: existing agents benefiting themselves short term instead of long term for everyone driving climate change and exponential social media addictive tech destroying mental health meaning and so on solutions: attempting to change the existing monopoly corporate giant's inner structure by enforcing wellbeing research into what they maximize (add values to the objective functions of facebook more MEANING ALIGNMENT INSTITUTE ) but also understanding their goals with compassion and economic incentives (slowly transform corporate mindfullness into deep compassion traditions by lecturing and practicing it?) will this be enough though, how to change the global maladaptive evolutionary economical incentives, are they centralized in corporates and psychopathic people with giant amount of power or distributed emergent dynamics from noncompassionate society and tons of generational trauma generating endless trust issues and driving disconnection crisis? how to direct psychopathic economic incentives into nonpsychopathic ones?? attempt at slow cultural transformation?? the fact that the cultural divide seems to be exponentially accelerating doesnt seem to be nice
create eductional institutions that have the goal of creating nonpsychopathic compassionate people wanting wellbeing for all? popularize metamodern integrative approach to minimize disconnection?
Multiple agents in the same environment minimizing uncertainity with objective functions reducable to basic needs, aligned or misaligned with the collective, we need alignment Compassion as way of unifying them Realization of shared basic needs and values as unifying them by rituals created by leaders Trabsformation of inner strcture of corporations that go cancerous Forming of noncancerous corporations Forming of noncancerous education and ability to grasp incresed complexity with metamodernism and AI Tracking cancerous processes and transforming them Transform psychopathic economic incentives to altruistic ones, emergent through culture of connection instead of division, training cleaning the mind from parasiging processes and connection to diffusion attention?

This is how I think about everything: Markov blanket analysis can identify things as phenotypes as patterns that are conditionally independent and stable in evolution of space and time governed by flow and randomness, seen as bayesian model building and free energy minimizing Connecting it with the QRI formalism of consciousness, Markov blankets with an implementation as a topological pocket in the EM field can be considered as individual experiences, with internal topological segmentations on the implementational level futher partitioning concrete nested hiearchical Markov blankets of experience on the computational level This makes those concrete Markov blankets very stable, objective, nonfuzzy etc.. Many more Markov blankets can be identified in the brain, such as cells, whole brain regions, etc. that can also be nonfuzzy, or they can be dynamical and fuzzy, that don't correspond to concrete objective physicalist qualia themselves, but just for example some of its properties. https://twitter.com/InferenceActive/status/1671522046407327747 ActInf Livestream #045.0 ~ "The free energy principle made simpler but not too simple" - YouTube)

Neither grasping nor pushing away, true nor false, percieving nor nonpercieving, nor middlewaying between any of those dualities. But just death of this subset of experience into loving accepting stressfree relaxed vast oneness full of freedom.
Sense of fundamental agency and deepest observer seems to have neural correlate in the evolutionary oldest part of the brain, irreducible markov blanket at the top of the cortical heterarchy in the hippocampus and its surroundings. https://twitter.com/PessoaBrain/status/1662455704966365184 This part is not influenced by other parts of the brain but it causally influences other parts through neuromodulation. When we lack sense of agency, we lack strength in the our brain's circuits corresponding to that activity, let it be this most fundamental part of our experience, or concrete functional brain regions corresponding to valence assignment, memory, attention, abstract thought, empathy, love for everything and so on. Large-scale brain network - Wikipedia Those functions can be healed or enhanced by increasing activity via neurostimulation https://academic.oup.com/brain/article-abstract/146/6/2214/6835141?redirectedFrom=fulltext&login=false https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2218958120 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6490158/ or psychotechnologies such as meditation. It seems that on deconstructive meditation through depth reduction we strenghten the fundamental agentic processes that lead to more sense of lucity and antiaddictive properties. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S014976342100261X For example on attentional meditation The Bayesian Brain and Meditation - YouTube The True Nature of Now: Meditation and the Predictive Brain | Ruben Laukkonen, Ph.D. - YouTube, attentional networks are strenghtened. In learning, abstract or concrete, intuitive and symbolic, information processing and memory networks are strenghtened. Wellbeing is stored in the ability of the whole network accurately predict the world and do better than expcted at reducing uncertainity about basic needs or surfing general error reduction slope gradients, ActInf GuestStream #008.1 ~ "Exploring the Predictive Dynamics of Happiness and Well-Being" - YouTube)
Methods to reduce stress 1) Solve the panicking basic need homeostat generating it by basic need fullfillment 2) Annealing activities like meditation that symmetrify neurvous system into more consonant dynamics - dont feed the source by grasping on it, denying it, pushing it away, by acceptance and relaxing, being with the whole field of awareness generally without concetrating on anything concrete 3) Substances that reduce stress via annealing or energy reduction or other methods
How to find meaning and selfactualization: Hyperspecific obsession - after basic needs are met, hyperspecialized ecosystem of aligned problem solving subagents in one mind or collective that build structure by acting on mental states (example intellectual growth learning) (example sciences, philosophy, art, fantasy, knowing everything about rocks, theories of everything) or the world (example pragmatic application of knowledge in the real word towards some less or more grandiose visions) (example hobbies, engineering, cars, computers)
Community - social graph - leader, or collective of leaders (governing structures), has hyperspecific obsession, lead the collective into its wellness by high level management of subagents, (example state ideologies, utopian visions, collective risks) giving concrete meanings with common goal signaling by visions to the collective's parts by outsourcing needed actions (example engineering, science progress, and application, knowledge growth, solving basic needs, wellbeing engineering, surviving, managing existencial risks, upgrading, evolving, growing, entertainment, unifying culture engineering, engineering access to novel experiences or ways to relax, science communication, minimizing friction in ecosystem of interacting diverse differently evolutionary specialized total mental frameworks aka world views aka lenses aka points of view aka ways of seeing (evolutionary adapted hiearchy of bayesian priors forming homeostatic problem solving subagents through interaction interaction and with the environment by reading/writing states, reading signals reinforcing current state or pointing to or forcing change from others, sending signals aka massage passing in active inference)), beating outgroups in status and power (even tho noncooperative zero sum games of groups competing for same resources probably lead to disaster for everyone) (ingroup outgroup divisions are increased by individualization, increase of languages of what divides us, loss of languages of what unites us) Relationships, family - similar to community but on lower scales, they tend to be bound by implicit biological synchronizations, but that seems to get dissolved in more psychologically or physically intimite, or polyamory communities, then there are people with lone wolf philosophy that are very individualistic
Entropic dissolution into everything - in the extremely deconstructed meditation/psychedelics induced states, no concrete selforganized collective of problem solving subagents (clusters of coherence) fighting for attention but instead the contents of the field of consciousness is dissolved into one giant wave of mostly nonclassifying symmetrical activity (example jhanas, sense of merging with God) with some highly symmetrical structures forming as source of beauty (example nature, poetry, art), which is all also present in (nondual) (optimistic nihhilism) philosophies (just being, being like water (flow state not interrupted by rigid concrete expectations), seeing beauty in everyday things), trance is energizing by repeating (symmetrical) stacked patterns in sensory modelities that's overriding existing potentially dissonant patterns creating global symmetrical metastable attractor mind state that can be futher reinforced internally or from the environment by compatible proofs or overall tautological logic

lots of psychological problems are expression or consequence of repressed anger or technically any emotion like fear resulting in psychological stress https://twitter.com/nickcammarata/status/1673423275853221888 (and also chronic health issues https://twitter.com/bolekkerous/status/1673467064055414785 ) Meditations that let this anger and fear be free helped me a lot, anger can also be a form of tension Anger can also be a form of tension/contraction the stress relieving strategies (like coping mechanisms) can sometimes be endless if the root cause isnt adressed (trauma, complex trauma, dukkha+tanha in general?)

You can energize (reinforce) mental objects by directing attentional arrow to it, by it being aligned with valence gradient (aethetics, resolving basic needs), sensory data (what aligns with "reality" or imagined expectations is reinforced), surprise (prediction error adds entropic activity to fix prediction errors to tune models by finding policies to edit internal models or act on the world), you can also modify (transform) it into a more consonant shape, you can energize it so much that its dissolves by overwhelming, you can weaken attentional resources (forces) by globalizing them (attention to background stillness, vastness, silentness, boundarylessness, centerlessness, infinityness,...) resulting in global smoothening as local topological shapes in the neural tissue through global acticity gets more coarsegrained, more smoothened, more redistributed, and you can also avoid mental objects
We need optimal amount of both cooperative generalists and competing specialists in society

lacking inherent existence means That no models are ontologically real such as models of valence. Metarationalism combines those two approaches and says that our models just approximate reality so they're semirealist as long as they're somewhat predictive. That approach makes the most practical sense to me in sciences. Then there's the whole landscape of differently philosophically interpreting for example the maths of quantum mechanics which is technically irrelevant for predictions in science itself, but since we think in stories it let's us much easily grasp the maths and potentially more easily find ways how to expand or transform it. Also stories are the most effective for science communication.
So you go by truth = predictivity? Both relativity and QTF still have unexplained phenomena or paradoxes, hmmm. Other approaches also try different paths, sometimes equivalently, but i feel like there are some intrinsic parts about nature that are unlearnable to us, as evolution might not optimize for truth but for survival, hmmm. How about emergent phenomena? I like Bobby Azarian approach there, by just explicitly including them, talked with him yesterday. ActInf GuestStream #015.1: Bobby Azarian, Universal Bayesianism: A New Kind of Theory of Everything - YouTube But i wonder if we can construct weak emergence model for aby emergent phenomena, I'm fan of that. Then there's the whole fun about choosing arbitrary ontologies and other philosophical assumptions. But i think the approach of classical emerging from the quantum might be the most fruitful in the future if we want to integrate fundamental physics with cognition!

Is statespace of qualia mathematically reducible to statespace of topological shapes from brain's neural network topologies? With hypothetical infinite computational power and infinite accuracy, could we predict any qualia just from those topological shapes? Does nonclassical phenomenological states beyond spacetime correspond to some neural network topology as well? Does unconsciousness correspond to absence of shape?

- Think of the differences between annealing and canalization. How to avoid/fix canals? Examples can cover both social, cultural, and psychological contexts. Our main focus is psychedelic therapy.
1.1. Think of situations that lead to maladaptivity in canalization and how to prevent them. For example, psychotherapists can use tests to determine a client's attachment style which is important for understanding anxious/avoidant/disorganized emotional background and the way that they make assumptions about the world ("Everyone always leaves", "People look at me like they hate me", "I am afraid I will say something stupid", etc.). Previously diagnosed disorders and traumas should be taken into account and thought of with caution.
*Presumably, emotions are embedded within the low-frequency range, which is the one that can travel through the anatomical obstacles within the brain, while high-frequency harmonics tend to stop at the boundaries of brain regions. These emotions act as Bayesian priors for our limbic system.

Love or seeing constructedness (illusorynessness) of mental phenomena seems to be an universal dissolver of any mental object or conditioned reactive patterns of behavior canalizations. Or explicit relaxation of any contracted qualia.
Canalized Mr Meeseeks protective subagents - dissolve by showing them counterfactual proof that they dont need to be so defensive in a new environment and that they can relax.
Dissolving held psychotic (misaligned with other processes or destructive rather than helping) beliefs with showing them opposite evidence, relativizing them away.
Avoiding overly protective subagents by not getting into hostile environments or consume limbic hijacking fear inducing memeplexes on social media or news. Satisfy the objective functions and create compromises in your whole ecosystem of subagents having different priotiries, don't isolate any as then he tends to canalize protective structures hostile against others.
Depressive beliefs such as "Everyone always leaves", "People look at me like they hate me", "I am afraid I will say something stupid" are also dissolvable with counterfactual evidence. One can create a dialog between the hurt subagent and a "healer" subagent, asking about what it is, what its priorities are, how it was formed, what other beliefs or subagents it depends on
Some linguistic or abstract mental construction is seen as true if many observes agree on its validity using different epistemological strategies, beliefs present in a population can be disrupted or reinforced or novel ones created by mutating or creating a new belief that is compatible with the culture's current aethetics (superstructure framing priors that are preffered according to their consonance with the whole) and spreading it succesfully darwinianly.
- We are aware of many examples/techniques for energy raising. Discuss techniques that can be applied for energy dampening and energy shifting. (For example, think of examples of how to manipulate energy sinks and sources by applying what we know from the STV. Which other activities/techniques can you think of? Discuss the role of attention!) *Thalamic gating serves attention. "Cleansing the doors of perception": psychedelics disrupt thalamic gating, they excite neurons in the PFC and desynchronize their collective ability to represent coherent self-referential beliefs. Thalamus is especially rich with 5-HT2A receptors found to be important for distinguishing between the quality of serotonergic impact of SSRIs and psychedelics.
==
Any neural operator (psychotool or a substance) that symmetrifies neurophenomenology tends to also increase energy, probably because of disintegration of energy sinks so unsinked energy flows randomly with much less attracting forces, which might lead to seeing visuals as well.
Energy sink can act as a neural classifier taking sensory data as input and outputing other thoughts or actions. Low energy depression seems to be damping energy through no learned agency. (hopelessness isnt learned, its that no agency is learned Helplessness Is Not Learned - Neurofrontiers ) Which might be seen as no sensory patters cascading into possible actions, no dopaminogentic motivation. Symmetrical representations can create global cascade of activation of neural representations from just one through more interconnected neural topology (meditation and psychedelics increase that). We can damp energy by getting into gettign stuck into some one solid mental object. One can collapse from deconstructed entropic state back into some highly specialized context to concetrate all that free computational power into one task and use it all there, its asymmetry (high overfitted specialization) can damp overall energy.
Any mental and physical activity that increases energy follows period of decreased energy, so thats a way to overall dampen energy as well. The stronger the increase, the stronger the decrease tends to be. Gradual increasing can be achieved by slow gradual increase such that neural networks adapt to a new baseline, just like progressive overload in fitness.
When it comes to shifting energy from one task to another one, one can in the global context see reason for doing that to generate motivation. We climb valence gradients realized as error reduction slopes of solving the problem better than expected, so depending on our aethtics and current problems we solve in life, we can shift our attention by lubricating those fundamental objective functions in our deepest bayesian priors, which also increases wellbeing through increased sense of meaning and motivation and reduces procrasination.
==
- How important do you consider the role of positive expectancy in psychedelic therapy? Should there be a chapter dedicated to the creation of a positive and trustworthy relationship between therapist and client/shaman and tripper, and tripper and the drug? What kind of setting do you find ideal?
==
Yes, more trust, more bayesian prior, aethetics, goal synchronization, leads to more efficient belief transmission, more efficient updating of maladaptive priors. Ideal setting definitely depends on the cultural aethetics of the client - some people are raised religious, some secular, some think more in mechanistic terms, some think more in fantasy narratives and so on.
==
- Role of music in psychedelic therapy. For example, the global flow of energy in the brain and reduced thalamic gating. Memorised music play VS jazz improvisation serves as an analogy for how the brain "plays" in the sober state VS on LSD. Could lower-frequency instruments such as hearing the bass-line play an important role in information propagation?
==
Songs are definitely also subjective to high degree as they active consonant memories through contextd ependant associations leading to good transformative trips. Songs with long global consonant tones are great for global information processing. Extremely fast songs are good at local information processing. Some songs have both in parallel which is great for combined information processing.
==
- Good meditation objects. For example, cute things, breath as the most secular meditation object, tuning into empty space. (Mind the cultural differences.) Alternatively, do you have an interesting annealing habit?
- It seems that high-frequency harmonics are in charge of higher cognitive functions, while lower frequencies store information and priors that activate the limbic system and DMN (Default Mode Network). This is widely discussed by Atasoy. Think of techniques that can be used for belief updating.
Another question for discussion (related to what you wrote in the document): How to navigate big-picture thinking (between therapist/shaman and client/tripper)?
There are lots of ideas but I think we should come up with as many practical techniques as we can.
Also in general to just enable people for having more "surprising" moments in daily life, it seems that dedication to building knowledge is important. This doesn't have to be academic knowledge, but also philosophical. Many people are not equipped to understand how it's done just by hearing or reading instructions. It needs to be trained! It could be cool if we could find approaches for people with all sorts of different backgrounds.
But when it comes to politics in that chart i kind of doubt most of it. When talking with people that do politics irl in my country and suggesting some wellbeing science stuff, sometimes I feel like it would be better if there was some top down illuminati single ton controlling the system instead of this crazy selforganizing chaotic flow of competing economic or moral or other cultural incentives happening. 😄
sleep I sense it feels like its turning off the whole operating system so that certain organism's homeostatic functions can go back to their homeostasis when nothing is happening and then running stochastic activity as form of defragmentation its so similar with deconstructive meditation and when you excercise maintaining awareness enough, you can sleep while being conscious too Maintaining Awareness during deep sleep — How to | by Roger Thisdell | Medium unconsciousness can be also conceptualized as no saving into memory which also kills sense of time as the frequency of savings into memory also seem to determine time Qualia Research Instituteblog/pseudo-time-arrow by turning off i meant the deep sleep that we dont remember there might be qualia such as pain happening actually but since its not saved into memory we dont recall it 🤔 like people on alcohol doing stuff and not remembering it 🤔 by stochastic i meant flow of energy gets injected randomly, but what interacting qualia is selforganized in the neural networks is definitely not stochastic so thats why dreams have patterns and insights about us or anything else and solutions to problems when activity gets injected into correct neural networks encoding concrete patterns, otherwise pure stochasticity wouldnt have patterns injection of computational power, start of cascading brain activity is core feature of neural annealing that relies on injection of energy long term memory also seems to be halted as the dreams we remember seem to be those that were generated right before we woke up stored in the short term memory and we still rewrite it a lot after waking up and trying to make sense of it as its not very ordinary experience which is similar to interpreting and integrating psychedelic trips Active Dreaming is More Powerful than Meditation and Safer than Psychedelics I tried to draw the various states the brain can be in here the total amount of energy corresponds to the total amount of brain activity (electrochemical activity) which corresponds to yellow lines stochastic because its not conditioned by external stimuli and in similar ways how you think "randomly" about your future when doing nothing and not dissolving sensations technically its not random as its dependant on what you're currently problem solving in the background, which is probably similar in dreams dreams are more generalizing tho to avoid overfitting this would explain why dreams are symbolic and usually not about highly specific situations or experiences same for psychedelic trips or deep meditative states as in all those cases you shift from local information processing to global information processing (from alpha band to theta band) i call everything causing this symmetrifications as that leads to reduced concrete energy sinks (classifiers) leading to less restricted more free more global information processing and cessations are decrease in neural synchronization in alpha bandwith, dissolution of functional integration, functional linking between different ares of the brain, break down of coordinated message passing, increased phase lag index measure Ep201: Revealing Nirodha Samāpatti - Delson Armstrong, Shinzen Young, Chelsey Fasano, Dr Laukkonen - YouTube EEG Connectivity Using Phase Lag Index - Sapien Labs | Neuroscience | Human Brain Diversity Project

The search for a new stable configuration while in disintegrated state is a dark night of the soul. Finding a new more global interconnected internally aligned symmetrical configuration of the neural network topology that efficiently does stress dissipation and allows overall uncontracted brain activity corresponding to the phenomenology of qualia just being there without mutual dissonant inteference then leads to equaminity. Usually this isnt overnight but a process that takes time and I sense that do nothing meditation and love and kindness are best ways to do it.
I think sometimes its good to just meditate or do just smaller doses of psychedelics as big dose of psychedelics can create the breakdown of everything including meditative progress, or accelerate it - depending on what kind of progress and what kind of psychedelics (strenghtening/transforming/dissolving beliefs)
Do not try to escape the Matrix but engineer the most beautiful Matrix possible for everyone
adding nervous system dimensionality increase or reduction having different computational advantages and disadvantages in abstract or social problem spaces and existence of evolutionary pretrained mental patterns useful for different specific or general purposes into this puzzle is also useful if one wants to engineer wellbeing
Autism as a disorder of dimensionality – Opentheory.net
"We can expect “standard-dimensional nervous systems” to be relatively strongly canalized, inheriting the same evolution-optimized “standard human psycho-social-emotional-cognitive package”. I.e., standard human nervous systems are like ASICs: hard-coded and highly optimized for doing a specific set of things."
This default package from mostly outsider perspective is pretty odd in many ways. It just feels some variables that most people try to fill in as answers in the cognitive architecture are not really encoding anything useful.
That there are more effective ways as well
But still its used for cultural cohesion
Some of it feels like evolutionary baggage in the collective cultural frameworks, code that hasnt been refactored, formed chaotically through nonlinear natural selection, just like our gene pool
"We can expect many of the behavioral and cognitive symptoms of autism to be compensatory attempts to reduce network dimensionality so as to allow structures to form. The higher the dimensionality and lower the default canalization, the more necessary extreme measures will be (e.g. “stimming”). “Autistic behaviors” are attempts at cobbling together a working navigation strategy while lacking functional pretrained pieces, while operating in a dimensionality generally hostile to stability. Behavior gets built out of stable motifs, and instability somewhere requires compensatory stability elsewhere."
That might also be why I love deconstructive meditation and 5-MeO-DMT so much. Ultimate dimensionality reducers.
I feel that hostility to stability so much with my total psychological fluidity
But hey, that increases symmetry and therefore sense of freedom
But some more dimensional metapatterns still can create extreme stability when they're global and reinforced enough
Problem with schools: I study in a way that I find a group or person who's the best in the field and look at his text or lecture summarizing the field and then dig into the details while having context. I myself also maximize learning stuff related to wellbeing from all possible perspectives which isnt everyone's case. This is problem with lots of current schools. Kids report not knowing what the stuff they are learning is for. They miss context. It can be how its used in everyday life, future work, science of progress and wellbeing, sustainibility, unifying people and so on. Making money effectively can also be a goal but taking to the extreme kills collective wellbeing and coordinated existencial risks solving. No wonder they are unmotivated to learn it and interpret it as useless noise. Another factor is that school decouples learning from fun. Fun is a oelasure category our mind constructs to make play bereable and play is used to produce training data. If we look at how we learn in neuroscience, knowledge motly gets stuck in our mind if we evaluate it as relevant in our context for our goals that can be reduced to basic needs, we build a coherent unified model of the world where everything wants to relate to eachother in some way. Valence (internal and external attraction) crisis is killing this. That's why adaptive dynamical systems theory is the most effective metalearning language if one has a goal of maximizing predictive transdisciplinary scientific knowledge. Some people also have more individual or more collective goals. Modern society is too individualistic which connects to the meaning crisis and so on. I would also add training dialog by steelmanning deep goals and values of the motivated wants skill to education more.
Happiness depression classic Wiki page or overall Google all factors influencing happiness

3 types of love: very instinctive animal activities like body connection through cuddling, then feeling of belonging in one's social environment through deep meaningful human social connections, and a transcendental unconditional love for all beyond every concepts that the mind can dream up but also includes them all
Valence (internal and external attraction) crisis seems to in general be solved by some interconnecting memeplex on both individual and local level or all the other factors in equation of happiness. "Everything is made, comes from God, awareness." Any common beliefs, goals, values, ideology, philosophy, language, meaning,...
No bullshit mode - be as direct with yourself and others as its possible (without hurting in the long term ideally)
Thoughts are like winds in a sky
Experiental space and time are useful data compression tools. Same goes for any other structures in experience.
Meaning valence crisis is about destressing the individualist local structures and stressing collective global structures until they're stressless dissolved unified baseline
Spacetime may be seen as fundamental building block in quantum field theory or quantized/emergent from a deeper structure, let it be attempts at quantum gravity such as spin foam, strings, or gravitons. Or emergent from amplituhedron, or my favorite: from quantum information theory. This connects to the phenomenological intuition that experiental space and time are useful data compression tools for quantum information theoretic observers of some beyond language dynamics out there. Same goes for any other structures in experience.
Avalokiteshvara (deity of positive valence, attraction, compassion, love, caring, wisdom, happiness, wellbeing, unity, cooperation, kindness, peace, flourishing,...) is a protective force against Moloch (opposite deity of negative valence, disattraction, destabilization, existencial risks, multipolar traps, polarization, anger, panic, depression, frustration,...)

Silicon walley software economy
Moloch dynamics. I think this kind of mathematical dynamics can be applied scalefree in society and the mind. Psychopathologies can be seen as maladaptive nash equilibrium configurations of subagents. For example small perturbations can easily create tons of error signals in the system, putting it under stress which can unify it or destabilize it. Or trade off between freedom and governance, competition and cooperation. I care about both scales about everyone.
The problem with economy creating incentives that dont benefit wellbeing or longterm flourishing and multipolar traps is that you get competetive evolutionary arms races, exponentially growing compoundong interest in linear resource economy, physics of money making on money on money up to infinitum. This is unrealiable in long term. Exponentially growing economy was the solution to wars over resources moving from physical to economic scale. To sidestep resource scarity, silicon valley attempts to solve it by creating monetary value on software, but even that is limited as hardware and human attention is limited and wont grow infinitely. Attempting to redirect this towards an better nash equilibrium with more adaptibility to existencial risks and wellbeing of people without discoordinated competetive anarchy (too much freedom) or totalitiriam regime (too much control), but a third attractor, is hard.
Another big factor is to create intersystemic trust via steelmanning of values and satisfying as much parties as possible to diffuse tension and minimize friction to increase cooperation between clusters of agents and maximize alignment on the most fundamental level possible. (AIs joining the mix - use LLMs to understand LLMs is the most plausible method currently?)
More bio/cyber/etc. weapons (synthbio, AI,...) that might be as destructive as atomic bombs that might be even easier to make or control or monitor by open science and so on might be a bit of an issue.
Because world today is so interconnected and interdependant than before, destabilizing in one part of the world can effect the whole world for example economically. Climate change also effects everyone. Many of the risks are interconnected and there might be domino effects. Slightly more extreme weather killing crops creating mass economic migration putting stable countries under economic and cultural adaptibility load.
There will be always something underterminite when modelling and predicting a system, let it be quantum uncertainity, chaotic dynamics, the fact that we always approximate, or the fact that in order to model some systems we would need to simulate its evolution fully
We could maybe test what is needed for consciousness by slowly cutting off or replacing parts of the body and its systems to find out where the boundary is between conscious system and nonconscious system. Problem is pzombies or panpsychist assumptions assume that even an electron is conscious lol, so probably just the subject might know.
If the imposed dynamics imply better overall wellbeing of people and better global adaptibility to existencial risks, thats more positive sum for all to me. There are societies today or societies in the past that were more adapted or more well than others. It is determined by both internal and external factors.
Regulating climate change or AI has to be global because there are arms races and opponents that externalize costs to get local short term advantage at the cost of global long term get evolutionary advantage.

Přemýšlím ci to přímo v mozcich není tak moc silně rigidně vytvořená individuální identita která se hodně liší od celkovyho sociálním grafu lidí co známe, že je tam hodně těžký přes společný rysy tvořit propojení, protože hodně přemýšlíme nad tím jak se lišíme, než co nás spojuje...
Na to ani nemusí být použit spirituální jazyk, sekulárně jde říct, že tak nepremyslime nad základníma hodnotama co nás spojují, nebo že jsme všichni homo sapiens co se snaží přežít a hledá spokojenost v životě
Spirituální jazyk je jeden způsobů jak tohle propojení tvořit. Přemýšlím jak tyhle pocitově spojovací výhody tvořit nezávisle na kultuře a pak to překládat do sekulární.
A spojovat i ty kultury a státy přes syntézy jazyků přes stejný hodnoty. Min polarizace, víc spolupráce, víc wellbeingu, min existenčních risků.
Separation of power (market, church, state (legislature, executive, judiciary)) as an implementation of checks and balances as an immunity to prevent dystopian power monopoly and asymmetric dynamics. Hard to implement it long term in changing landscape of internal and external coniditons that needs to be adapted to and people forget why revolutions happened to destroy past power monopolies so they stop inhabiting asymmetric potentials through checks and balances of power structures and they start fusing into power monopolies plus sociopaths having evolutionary advantage.
My favorite deconstructive meditation algorithm currently: Dissolve concrete local stabilizing structural energy sinks such as thoughts, intentions, imagery, concepts, ideas, abstract thought, conditioned classified objects as constructed subsets of raw sense data with added abstract structure and feelings about them, percieving raw sensations themself, by tuning into quiet vast still spacious empty boundaryless centerless awareness, empty awake space, quieting the mind. See the emptiness (dreamlikeness) and dissolve global fundamental stabilizing stuctural energy sinks behind everything that form the sense of ground in experience by classifying and freeying them by for example spacious lightness - sense of doer, attention, watcher, self and other distinction, time, space, boundary, center, coordinates, background, knowing, local and global being, truths, ontology, somethingness, perception, nonperception, neither perception nor not perception, trancending the transcendence itself, any "fundamental" classifications, dissolve any logic, any distinctions, any structures in general. Destabilizing any codependently mutually (self)stabilizing clusters of symbolic or intuitive processes by raw not knowing and looking without concepts by generating stochasticity. After this deconstruction into unified stochastic void when everything starts reconstructing, throw in infinite love, kindness, caring, connectedness, healing, light, meaningfulness, protecting, cherishing, safety, comfort, smoothness for all mental objects that emerge in any reconstructed emerged dual category.
Put not really big money into happiness equation
Civilization can be analyzed in three ways that interconnectedly interact and influence eachother by interforming: what is its a memeplex (world views, value systems, what ought to be) (computational), social coordination strategies (behavior, financial incentives) (algorithmic) and physical tooling set upon it depends (tech) (implementational). What changes in all three od them simultaneously, factoring all the feedback loops, produce a virtuos cycle that orients in a direction that isnt catastrophies or dystopias? Cumulative exponential tech level is currently the most dominant and binding all other levels instead of the other way around. We need values of the people to bind tech instead. Those values can be elected into governance via will of the people via democracy with checking and balances of power from the people and by separation of power, preventing opression, tyranny and dystopias, creating aligned emergent instead of imposed values, by educating people both scientifically and morally and theory of governance, such that collective will of the people isnt dumb and misguided to govern exponential tech and selfterminate creating catastrophies but instead bind it for long term adaptive wellbeing by thinking about its nth order effects without big narrow techno pessimist or techno optimist bias universally globally to prevent arms races to not selfterminate the whole world by multipolar traps. Unity via less narrower more connected through more fundamental similarities value systems preventing stuff like left right polarization.

Free will is a felt sense of agent's model of causal power of his individual organism over the global world
So many things people sense as eternal fundamental truth goes beyond my sensed experience where nothing is really eternal (but even this what I'm writing can be morphed into its opposite or synthesis) because I can morph into the state where it feels true but morph into a counterfactual one where completely different opposite mental framework with its own assumptions and inferences makes sense, so senced truths to me are just contextdependent states All just pragmatic tools for different purposes Trying to spread evolutionary like replicators Sometimes good, sometimes bad for different dimensions such as wellbeing, predictivity, belonging and so on That's why it makes sense to me to get infected by memes that maximize those the most Another parameter could be sense of freedom, special case of symmetrification, or loveficitation with any mental objects or field of experience in general as another kind of symmetrification Free will is another variable in the cognitive architecture that people have, and if you really implementat the "i have no sense of agency" bayesian prior strongly, then you can get into nihillistic depressive dissonant attractors, or also ones full of freedom, depending if its surrounded by implemented western or eastern philosophical mental construct context lol, and what objective functions you have implemented inside you that can generate error signals when they cannot be selfactualized and socially validated and so on "Enlightenement is the ability to see experience as process." -Kenneth Folk
Free will? I think depends. I suppose you're classical hard physicalist determinist with no free will mechanistic implementation in physics present. If you account for certain insights from complex systems theory, you can get free will from top down mental causation fictious force. You can also assert that free will is just a cultivatable feeling, agent's model of his causal power over his mind and environment. (my favorite pragmatic definition) You can also be ontologically agnostic about free will by arguing that our models are just approximation of some reality beyond our usual concepts.

Letting go is hard to put into words, its like relaxing the machinery of the mind you normally abide in. Temporarily turning a mental process off. With enough repetetion you can uninstall or transform maladaptive patterns in mind or behavior.
Turning off trying in the brain manifests as relaxed circuits in the default mode network, so instead of going to ruminate and stuff, you are in the present moment with much less processing of anything. Global workspace wont get as many external signals what Is avaiable to work with, in the extreme you "experience nonexperience".

I guess the easiest sign of bigger energy parameter is less tiredness on avarage, more excitement, sense of more total amount of computational power and total consciousness. Can be distributed among the whole world model (contenment) or directed towards one mental model (can manifest as obsession, which is great for concrete problem solving, and the other one for out of the box thinking, so combination is great) Also wellbeing benefits from symmetrification of the nervous system from distributed activity among the whole model creating global interconnections, increasing small world networkness, collapsing maladaptive local hiearchical structures.
For science I mostly abide in a form of neutral monism (quantum information theoretic Markov blanket monism) or classical physicalism or panpsychist psychicalism: maths of physics=maths of mind.
In social context when people around me are mostly in some ontology I just adapt to theirs by becoming that one
For meditation I abide in idealism at first as that increases sense of agency over ones mental state, but then dissolve even that into every possible ontology and none of them at the same time when everything gets deconstructed.

The trained network generalized even to faithfully predicting the output of spacially clustered and synchronusly activated synapses that it have never encountered before.

Michael Taft's and Shinzen Young's global relaxation guided meditations also progressively dissolve disconnected canals in the brain generating experience And I think that's the most direct method I think periodically doing days of their relaxation meditation, then 5-MeO-DMT trip and then some more days of relaxation meditations, is the most efficient protocol for progressive meaningfilling of experience the most directly on the level of topology of the brain
Different lenses on the brain and mind or society or the world in general study it all from a slightly different perspectives using different tools specialized for different usecases predicting different things and are differently succesfull. I think all the lenses or metalenses can be merged in one giant metametalens. What matters is how well the model is supposted by empirical data and can predict other empirical data through hiearchical structures, mechanisms or symmetries. Also some of the models are more easily used daily pragmatically for for example wellbeing engineering or its more pleasant and higher in wellbeing to have them actively in mind, which is determined by their valence, which seems to be mostly determined by how much they unify things or prove the carrier's enemies wrong.

Quanta Magazine There "exists" a landscape of predictive models, where different models are more predictive in different domains, or many models are equally predictive in the same domain.

Your brain now generates gazillion dopamine aka motivation aka learning when it sees anything related to that field and seeks it more and more and you get absorbed by it and as it swallows you, eventually your whole self and world model becomes the field itself.

The way our reward architecture is constructed makes it difficult for us to have a clear sense of what it is that we enjoy about life. Our brains reinforce the pursuit of specific objects, situations, and headspaces, which gives the impression that these are intrinsically valuable. But this is an illusion. In reality such conditions trigger positive valence changes to our experience, and it is those that we are really after (as evidenced by the way in which our reward architecture is modified in presence of euphoric and dysphoric drugs and external stimuli such as music). We call this illusion the tyranny of the intentional object because in philosophy “intentionality” refers to “what the experience is about”. Our world-simulations chain us to the feeling that external objects, circumstances, and headspaces are the very source of value. More so, dissociating from such sources of positive valence triggers negative valence, so critical insight into the way our reward architecture really works is itself negatively reinforced by it.

U mě to byly cukr, sociální sítě, videa, porno, sex, orgasmy, hudba, roztomilost, filozofie, KFC, kofein, videohry, jednu chvíli LSD, na člověku,... 😄
Moje oblíbená myšlenka: Závislost je zmenšování množství věcí, co ti přináší potěšení. Štěstí je zvětšování množství věcí, co ti přináší potěšení.
Je třeba toto množství zvětšovat, aby co nejvíce situací přinášelo wellbeing. Takže ty různé věci co jsem vyjmenoval v určité míře můžou přidat potěšení do celkového života, ale když se stane, že jenom ta pár/jedna věc přináší štěstí, větsinou kvůli nadužívání, tak to není fajn. Nebo ještě extrém je když člověk celej den čučí na sociální sítě a ani mu to už kvůli toleranci či FOMO či rozbíjení sebejistoty či strachu nepřináší štěstí a je z toho spíš v depce či úzkostech.
Může to být útěk od nejaký mentální nepohody. Jde z toho ven pomocí psychoterapie (možnost je určitýma látkama asistovanou) či meditace, nebo často chybí něco ze základních potřeb.

I'm willing to give up the amount of technological/economical progress for better mental wellbeing of the population What are all the for example new pharmacological drugs or neurotechnology good for if there are raising rates of mental pain I suspect this isnt because of genetics, I very much suspect this is environmental I feel like the most efficient way of making change in the real word towards better sum of wellbeing of a population on a global scale is popularizing efficient therapheutic methods, pushing denormalizing chronically stressful etc. life culturally via politics, focusing on what unites us, instead of what divides us, making different kind of memetics optimizing for wellbeing more normal. What do you think is an efficient way to reduce this kind of suffering in population? Or will singularity catch up and give us technological infinite bliss before we collapse under stress?

the more general your nervous system is (the more experiences it make make sense of) the harder it is to kill it the more you die the more it expands making it even harder but eventually you can get into permanent death tho i wonder to what extend can permanent death work, because you still need basic biological functions and ability to communicate you can get this constant always active highly symmetrical everything interconnecting attractor that is extremely pleasant (its a spectrum) nondual philosophy or complex systems also generate this, but transcendental meditation and psychedelics seem to go more directly the more you get into these states the more you learn to make them last longer you can remove craving for both existence and nonexistence, by unifying existence and nonexistence for example, seeing the nebulousity of real things and experiences ego death can be defined as when even your most fundamental priors and conceptual sense making things dissolve if you can still frame the experience, if its not uncomprehensible, full entropy, no anythings pattern matchable, then its still inside some structure the experience of nonexperience goes beyond ego death in this frame? the experiental nonexperience of nonexperiental experience, smash the nondually nondual duality
people scared of ego death are scared of uncertainity, not knowing, being lost, loss of control, death of the stable structures that make them what they think they are on the other hand some people arent scared at all and then experience loss of control and can do not so good things transcendental philosophy such as buddhism prepares you for psychedelic experience by deeply ingraining the postulate that everything seemingly stable is fluid and impermanent and that reality is fundamentally nonconceptually incomprehensible but one can go beyond the duality of comprehensibility and noncomprehensibility

The way to feel effortless infinite flow of life seems to be in general implemented by having higher order process out of the character's agency (this ideally as a parameter that can be set via various actions such as meditation) fueling all lower order processes That's phenomenologically universe doing things for you and "you" just sit down and watch it unfold Agency implies effort Effort (sense of doer) implies asymmetries Aka conceptual contractions saying what's good or bad, running counterfactual simulations and forces in the motorplanning space Flow of life implies nonduality, conceptlessness, symmetries, expansion and contraction at the same time This can result in falling in reward circuitry hijacking traps tho, there the conceptual mind is useful Or in groundless ground that isn't vast, still, spacious, accepting etc. - that is useful to cultivate to be functional while dissolved at the same time Flow implies surrender Ordinary life becomes like watching wild animal documentary vast, still, spacious, accepting etc. groundless ground implies positive valence Judgements, categories, go against unconditional love This also makes tripping much better Life is one giant trip anyway Unify psychedelic and meditative bliss with sober/dual reality!
Universal middle way thinking pattern nonduals (dissolves) all symbolic conceptual dual mental constructions: identify a duality (something is true and opposite isnt), accept both sides, merge them, synthesis.
What also seems to effictify guided meditations or love and kindness is that the instructions or compassion is coming from every part of the groundless ground (or infinite awareness) at once For the character it can seem like the universe is telling him absolute truth Surrendering to void -> being healed by God The more nothing you are, the less learned conditioned defence mechanisms, the more love there is Live life to the fullest while being dead

I love this, and it's interesting how belief in the supreme selfcontrol metacogniton metaselfprogramming without limits of the mind over its thoughts and emotions or sensations in general maximizes effectivity of this skill, of this capability, essencially skyrocketed placebo at its limit. But at the same time it can create unrealistic expectations where one feels dissonant prediction error when something that is beyond one's mind control at that time happens, because of a stressful environment for example or when molecular neurobiology is broken in some sense and would require fixing the emergence of some types of neurotransmitters when there's too little or too much of some of them for example or when the brain tissue has some malfunctioning part such as a tumor, or with locally hyperconnected default mode network (your evolutionary old processes, animal self) and not so connected different brain regions creating less harmonious flow of information creating worse ability for the brain work as a holistic singleton, creating less symmetries and worse wellbeing, or less trained prefortal cortex (executive central network) that actually implements selfregulation or the sense of free will. Some types of neurobiology can create attractions towards dissonant reality tunnels. Or when structure of the neural networks require more training to implement selfregulation over some subset of experience, such as you cant instantly be the best in the skill of playing the piano, which applies to any other metacognition skill imo, I see all skills as a trainable continuum with possible transmittable general learned skills, or when one gets captured by some reward mechanism hijacking tool such as too frequent social media, some types of food, some substances, porn,... And for example this reward mechanism hijacking is killing what makes us happy, overstimulating reward circuitry based on dopamine, endorphins, internal opioids, and if that one thing the reward circuitry is trained on is not connected with other things in the brain, such as social connection or subjective sense what ought to be in ethics and the world model, that impairs holistic internal interconnectedness, which impairs the emergence of a meaning vector, and through meaningless hyperstimulation creates tolerance to further reward signals, sinking into "nothing feels rewarding" belief attractor metastable brain configuration. There are definitely many other possible factors that can are against wellbeing, such as dissonant (meta)memeplexes that are strongly solidified and create even more dissonance when they are destabilized instead of updated to a more consonant version or dissolved. Addictive behavior has cures luckily, but meditation can work for some people better than for others, some people are compatible with different techniques or some antiaddiction substances can help.

From a certain lens nobody is fundamentally bad, everyone is maximizing wellbeing under their current beliefs the best they can, (its bayesian optimal behavior) but sometimes some beliefs include hurting others (physically or on the level of nonlinear wave computing dissonance in the nervous system through language), which can create conflicts (disharmony) between two belief systems 🤔 And sometimes you just get two systems hurting eachother in a feedback loop way

Or/and also getting intimate with pure compassionate love, all internal parts, meaning of life, transcendent meaning,... Combining spiritual, philosophical, material, and beyond thinking mind orgasm.
Instead of resisting and suppresing exiles, parts of you usually created by negative experiences that you try to fly from or fight against or freeze before. Those parts can serve as outdated learned conditioned reaction or behavior to some negative experience in the past. Internal family systems theraphy helps them by listening to the source of the negative emotions by letting them express themselves, noticing why are they there in the first place, what part of you generates it. You can create a dialog between it and a good new part of me, showing it that everything now is safe with love, joy and compassion, that it doesn't need to be defensive and hurt anymore, all is good little boy, have some love candy as a treat. 🤗 And then I explode in pure love to everything and everyone. 😸

Neuroscientists have created a mood decoder that can measure depression | MIT Technology Review https://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/10619/presentation/81875 He remembers being repeatedly asked how he felt as surgeons probed his brain with electrodes. “Then they hit a spot and I said: ‘I actually feel back online,’” he says. “Depression is like a constant weight on your soul. When they touched that perfect little spot, that weight lifted.” In the years since, the pulses of stimulation have been tweaked slightly. Six months after the operation, the team turned off the stimulation without telling John. His symptoms immediately worsened. “It was obvious,” he says. “I told them: ‘I don’t know what you did, but I can’t sleep, I’m anxious … it’s not working.” “We’re hoping that there are some generalizable findings that we get out of this,” A brain region called the cingulate cortex fires in a certain way when all three are in a better mood and shows the opposite pattern of activity when the volunteers are experiencing a low mood. Across prefrontal channels, we found that reduced depression severity is associated with decreased low-frequency and increased high-frequency neural activity. John’s electrodes are still delivering pulses of electrical stimulation deep in his brain. He charges the battery embedded in his chest every week.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8927302/ Depression, traditionally viewed as a disorder characterized by negative cognitive biases, is associated with disrupted reward prediction error encoding and signaling. Accumulating evidence also suggests that depression is characterized by impaired local and long-range prediction signaling across multiple sensory domains. The review focuses on studies of sensory deviance detection and reward processing, highlighting research evidence for both disrupted generative predictions and prediction error signaling in depression.

I think "A Sensory-Motor Theory of the Neocortex based on Active Predictive Coding" paper can help with a lot of phenomenology!
God, or ontology and morals in general, as this ultimate abstraction on the highest level that controls everything else in the lower levels in some ways, and top down processing!
You merge with god/nature/reality on meditation or psychedelics when those kinds of hiearchies dissolve into hiearchyless attractor where everything influences and synchronizes with everything! Nondual unified oneness!
Higher abstractions bending the spacetime of lower abstractions!
The paper: A Sensory-Motor Theory of the Neocortex based on Active Predictive Coding | bioRxiv A Sensory-Motor Theory of the Neocortex based on Active Predictive Coding We propose that the neocortex implements active predictive coding (APC), a form of predictive coding that incorporates hierarchical dynamics and actions. In this model, each neocortical area estimates both sensory states and actions, and the cortex as whole learns to predict the sensory consequences of actions at multiple hierarchical levels. “Higher” cortical areas maintain more abstract representations at larger spatiotemporal scales compared to “lower” areas. Feedback from higher areas modulate the dynamics of both state and action networks in lower areas. This allows the cortical network to model the complex dynamics and physics of the world in terms of simpler compositional elements (state transition functions). Simultaneously, current higher level goals invoke sequences of lower level sub-goals and actions, allowing the network to solve complex planning problems by composing simpler solutions. Planning (“system 2” thinking) in turns allows the network to learn, over time, perception-to-action mappings (policies; “system 1” thinking) at multiple abstraction levels. We provide examples from simulations illustrating how the same APC architecture can solve problems that, at first blush, seem very different from each other: (1) how do we recognize an object and its parts using eye movements? (2) why does perception seem stable despite eye movements? (3) how do we learn compositional representations, e.g., part-whole hierarchies, and nested reference frames for equivariant vision? (4) how do we model the “physics” of a complex environment by decomposing it into simpler components? (5) how do we plan actions in a complex domain to achieve a goal by composing sequences of sub-goals and simpler actions? and (6) how do we form episodic memories of sensory-motor experiences? We propose a mapping of the APC network to the laminar architecture of the cortex and suggest possible roles for cortico-cortical, cortico-thalamic, cortico-hippocampal and cortico-subcortical pathways.
I also think this can be framed by nonlinear wave computing, where smaller waves (more concrete elements) interlock and create bigger waves (bigger stories, more abstractions).

"Merging with God as a kind of global coherence:
Andres suggests all of this is a good match for oscillatory coupling between brain regions.
Perhaps add something akin to “which according to him ‘dissolves internal boundaries'”
Andres thinks this is part of what’s behind “spiritual” or “mystical” experiences, where you suddenly feel like you’ve lost the boundaries of yourself and are at one with God and Nature and Everything.
My strongest phenomenological evidence here is the difference between DMT and 5-MeO-DMT (video): competing clusters of coherence feel like “a lot of entities in an ecosystem of patterns” whereas global coherence feels like “union with God, Everything, and Everyone”. Hence the terms “spirit molecule” for DMT and “God molecule” for 5-MeO-DMT. The effect size of this difference is extremely large and reliable. I’ve yet to find someone who has experience with both substances who doesn’t immediately agree with this characterization. [This can be empirically tested] by blinding whether one takes DMT or 5-MeO-DMT and then reporting on the valence characteristics, “competing vs. global” coherence characteristics, and on whether one gets a patchwork of entities or one feels like one is merging with the universe.
With classic psychedelics, which stand somewhere between DMT and 5-MeO-DMT in their level of global coherence, you always go through an annealing process before finally “snapping” into global coherence and “becoming one with God”. That coherence is the signature of these mystical experiences becomes rather

Reinforcement of processes with good associations feels good, consonant, full of symmetrical positive valence (aka pleasant flow), activates ingroup categorizing. What do you think?

<@244200615616446465> posted pretty powerful introduction to QRI:
“Last summer, I had the privilege of interning at the Qualia Research Institute (QRI), a non-profit organization dedicated to discovering the science of consciousness. I distinctly remember one night at QRI – May 31, 2019 – that likely changed the course of my life. I was sitting in a circle with the two other interns and the managers of the group house where most of the QRI team was living at the time. We were discussing the importance of conducting research on consciousness, and one of the interns mentioned that the science of consciousness was the ultimate problem. “Why?” I asked. “Well,” he said (and I paraphrase), “the only things that really matter to you are the things that impact the quality of your conscious experience. If we figure out consciousness, then we will know how to induce conscious experiences that are far more extraordinary and blissful than we can even imagine right now.”
And that’s when it hit me. I had a very ephemeral and abstract, but nonetheless deeply profound, vision of a world that was completely free from pain and suffering. I caught a faint yet radiant glimpse of paradise. I imagined a world in which scientists had eliminated depression, anxiety, existential insecurities, and all other forms of mental agony; in which sublime joy was the default mode of conscious experience; in which every human felt unconditional love towards all other sentient organisms; in which every human was overwhelmed with ecstatic gratitude and awe at the simple fact of being alive.”

Wandering mind is unhappy mind
When you think about the equation of happiness, you think out the equation is not thinking (yes in theory, partially in practice?) (with functional biohardware) You are the reflection of your environment. The people you are around, the content you watch shape your beliefs and reactions. In unloving, judgmental, scared, panicking, hopeless, disconnected, resisting, ingroup outgroup categorizing, environment, one becomes that and feels disconnection, isolation, dissonance, uncertainity, loneliness etc. which causes stress aka inner dissonance which causes most negative mental properties such as anxiety or depression. If a person is in an environment full of love, enthusiasm, joy, energy, compassion, spontaneity, inner peace, helping, healing, wakefulness, trusting, wisdom, humbleness, generosity, relaxation, allowance, nondual interconnectedness of people, absence of resistance to what is, no grasping hyperfixation to concrete thoughts or emotions or sensations in general, etc., one is becomes like that too. All the more positive valence properties seem to share the property of symmetrical thinking, aka easier information flow, less inner tension of experience fluid and less uncertainity of beliefs, or raw nonsymbolic experience where nothing is judged by concepts. Genes can determine initial attractions towards different environments and styles of thinking, but its very plastic when it comes to environmental factors. Meditation or psychedelics increase this plasticity that allows one to change his beliefs even more. Environment, let it be online or in real life, that supports this, makes one feel connected even more. Good regulator theorem from cybernetics plus symmetry theory of valence plus buddhist conception of suffering give interesting pointers to engineering mental wellbeing.

Which seems to be formed by both environment and genes. Mental issues or in general inner desynchronization or a lot of hard conceptual contractions leads to desynchronization of an individual with the collective.

Encode as many information in the least amount od bits possible by finding common structures among as many structures as you can. Spirit of category theory and complex systems. I wonder if there is any other label doing the same process.
I see all those mental divergences from norm as spectrummy clusters of patterns in behavior caused genetically and environmentally that can create both adaptive or maladaptive patterns in behavior or neurobiology producing more than avarage suffering or happiness depending on the patterns. It can have evolutionary functions (such as being tribe leader, engineer, healer,...) to which one can adapt, but it also can make one desynchronize with the environment or in general with himself internally, creating suffering for the individual, and neurotheraphypharmatechnological methods or any behavior correlating with happiness empirically can change the neurobiology to make the individual fit in his environment more or help his neurobiology have dynamics that supports having hedonium in the first place, making him suffer less. On the other hand in some cases some proposed methods can contract him into social constructs and happiness conditionings which can kill his ability to see freeying emptiness and feel unconditional love. Aka why i didnt want to take calming meds when I havent figured myself out yet. It felt like solving symtoms instead of cause, it couldnt help me find fullfilling meaning and i didnt want to be nihilistic not thinking individual, it felt like escaping method, that's why I always want to go to the source of the problems. Different systems also maximize different things with different intensities with different philosophical and political systems. Happiness or agency or productivity or technology or spirituality for example, after basic needs of people are met (not always haha), which determines what should be normal by social constructs,... Its fascinating how different cultures have different set of normal behaviors and therefore different definitions of mental divergences that dont make the individual fit into the environment which then tries to fix him to fit into the environment. Avarage modernist american/european city where psychosis is seeing empirically unmeasurable stuff (which sometimes breaks down haha) versus buddhist monk centers where its weird to not be dissolved versus spiritual groups where experiencing minds to the fullest isnt weird versus hyperfundamentalist muslim or christian countries where not believing in god is sign of devil that needs to be fixed with with neurotheraphypharmatechnological intervention. I'm an individual that loves to play with his internal models in the sea of atheistic Czechia, which isnt very compatible with most people here lol, but i can find compatible people where anyway. But I'm glad we don't tryhard capitalism as hard as America. The very process that makes us effectively adapt to the environment by selecting relevant information in sensory data and constructing relevant for survival and collective goals useful hypotheses/models about them makes us vulnerable to selfdestructive dukkha suffering spirals. ADHD, causing the individual to jump from one thing to other on his mind, having trouble finishing stuff, forgetting stuff, or autism making the individual create meaning of life around super specific topic, which makes him not being able to talk to people with normal social constructs, can create suffering. But combined gives the ability to do asperger like hyperfocus on topics that are extremely meaningful for the individual, which can on the other hand create meaningful life, status, sense of freedom,... It has to be compatible with the environment tho, to sustain the individual with the collective. To reduce individual's sense of uncertainity of his basic needs and meaning of life being fullfilled,... it can be adaptive or maladaptive. Stress is mostly not good neurobiologically for hedonium belief networks with consonant activity and functioning biohardware that isnt collapsing even tho it can enhance concrete productivity. You also dont want configurations that permanently break down some needed brain's functions such as for example consistent inner world simulation or ability to model somewhat coherent stories to make you survive with the environment or not getting sucked into bad wellbeing attractor.

Consciousness Is a Thing, Not a Process
The central dogma of cognitive psychology is ‘consciousness is a process, not a thing’. Hence, the main task of cognitive neuroscientists is generally seen as working out what kinds of neural processing are conscious and what kinds are not. I argue here that the central dogma is simply wrong. All neural processing is unconscious. The illusion that some of it is conscious results largely from a failure to separate consciousness per se from a number of unconscious processes that normally accompany it—most particularly focal attention. Conscious sensory experiences are not processes at all. They are things: specifically, spatial electromagnetic (EM) patterns, which are presently generated only by ongoing unconscious processing at certain times and places in the mammalian brain, but which in principle could be generated by hardware rather than wetware. The neurophysiological mechanisms by which putatively conscious EM patterns are generated, the features that may distinguish conscious from unconscious patterns, the general principles that distinguish the conscious patterns of different sensory modalities and the general features that distinguish the conscious patterns of different experiences within any given sensory modality are all described. Suggestions for further development of this paradigm are provided.

The brain is not mental! coupling neuronal and immune cellular processing in human organisms
Significant efforts have been made in the past decades to understand how mental and cognitive processes are underpinned by neural mechanisms in the brain. This paper argues that a promising way forward in understanding the nature of human cognition is to zoom out from the prevailing picture focusing on its neural basis. It considers instead how neurons work in tandem with other type of cells (e.g., immune) to subserve biological self-organization and adaptive behavior of the human organism as a whole. We focus specifically on the immune cellular processing as key actor in complementing neuronal processing in achieving successful self-organization and adaptation of the human body in an ever-changing environment. We overview theoretical work and empirical evidence on “basal cognition” challenging the idea that only the neuronal cells in the brain have the exclusive ability to “learn” or “cognize.” The focus on cellular rather than neural, brain processing underscores the idea that flexible responses to fluctuations in the environment require a carefully crafted orchestration of multiple cellular and bodily systems at multiple organizational levels of the biological organism. Hence cognition can be seen as a multiscale web of dynamic information processing distributed across a vast array of complex cellular (e.g., neuronal, immune, and others) and network systems, operating across the entire body, and not just in the brain. Ultimately, this paper builds up toward the radical claim that cognition should not be confined to one system alone, namely, the neural system in the brain, no matter how sophisticated the latter notoriously is.

The absence of fear makes us more susceptible to exploitation and it makes animals more susceptible to predation. There was one study in which mice with FAAH knocked out drank more, however that's likely due to the absence of the throat and stomach burn that comes with alcohol consumption, because anti-addictive behavior has been noted in a number of studies of FAAH inhibition. Some studies showed increased appetite, but I don't know of any in which FAAH inhibition led to obesity.

Today, there aren't many scientific ways to describe conscious experience. Qualia Research Institute is working to solve this problem. Goals are ambitious yet achievable:
-
Develop a precise mathematical language for describing subjective experience
-
Understand the nature of emotional valence (happiness and suffering)
-
Map out the full space of possible conscious experiences
-
Build technologies to radically improve people's lives
Qualia Computing is an inter-disciplinary project that seeks to identify the computational properties of subjective experience. As a series of subgoals, all of the following research programs will further this overarching goal:
1) Characterize the dimensions of the state-space of qualia reachable from a human mind. (e.g. State-Space of Drug Effects: Results | Qualia Computing)
2) Identify the computational trade-offs of different states of consciousness (e.g. superior performance on LSD). (e.g. How to secretly communicate with people on LSD | Qualia Computing)
3) Infer a crisp functional, chemical, quantum or computational signature of hedonic tone. (e.g. Google Hedonics | Qualia Computing )
4) Create quality psychophysical tools to investigate altered states of consciousness. (e.g. Psychophysics for Psychedelic Research: Textures | Qualia Computing)
5) Explain the computational properties of phenomenal binding, and investigate ways of tweaking the way it operates (e.g. modify local phenomenal binding patterns using ultrasound brain stimulation).
6) Further philosophy of mind by identifying the causally efficacious ways in which consciousness provides computational benefits to a biological organism.
There are no formal expectations here. It is a do-ocracy. If you want to plan a project in this area, feel free to find collaborators in this group and make it happen.

The hippies are also right about things like "DMT is a high frequency state of consciousness, even relative to LSD."
According to our tool, LSD produces flicker frequencies between 15-20hz.
DMT produces 30hz effects instead.
Always listen for clues when hippies talk about qualia. They're more likely to be in touch with the high energy palette of qualia dynamics than your average scientist.

=Aethetics=
Symmetrical groundlessness, but like, full of love for all that is, joyous divine aethetics for subagents in consonance, hyperanalytical models with predictive power, and so on
totally playful and innocent and cute and colorful and light and fast but relaxed
full of infinite intelligence, knowledge and wisdom, of the depth of the universe, but totally humble, as all beings have their own reality tunnels from the eternal tao that cannot be named to be fully known but each information processing system approximates it via different way of seeing that are all as valid
totally divine, compassionate, infinite limbs helping all being in the universe, deity of compassion, of love itself giving raise to the unfolding flow of life energy to all being in existence with love in and being a groundless ground, caring like a mother for the whole existence, flowing in the empty void, light infinitely shapeshifting into anlovy form, helping all beings be utterly blissful
the source without a center, location, time, doer, observer, that manifests and is all
Practice or not practice —attention goes beyond.
Act or not act —decisions melt away.
Empty or not empty —awakening mind is beyond.
Be or not be —there is a vastness wherein
These differences fade away.
Awareness —not a word, not a thought, no description at all —
Has as its axis no corrective, no holding a position.
Its nature is bare, steady, fresh and unfolding,
A vastness free from all effort and complications.
Rest where there is no change or time.
Everything is joined together in the void spacelessly timelessly
All of us, everything is utterly connected
Siblings in the womb of creation
The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao
Reality that can be put into words is not reality itself in its full form
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be healthy.
May all beings be free from danger.
May all beings live in peace.
