In mainstream quantum mechanics, the cat collapses (FAPP) by participating in measurement; the LLM does not, because it never physically measures— it only processes the record of what already happened.
The moment of profound realization about consciousness and reality creates an immediate paradox: having glimpsed truth that could transform humanity, what does one do next?
Memory is social - writing the story, archiving it, reprinting it, adapting it are not epilogues, they are error‑correction across time that protects truth from the “snow” of forgetting. A civic equilibrium in which truth is too redundant to be erased.
The Creative Act: Pure → Mixed ::: Von Neumann saw what others missed: entropy isn't just disorder, it's the birthmark of creation itself.
Every moment is the universe writing itself into existence, unable to read ahead in its own story. Computational irreducibility is how the Infinite experiences finitude. It's how Eternity experiences time. It's how Omniscience experiences discovery.
The human mind, with all its complexities, moral sensibilities, and aesthetic judgments, emerged not from divine decree but from the interplay of desire, choice, and competition across countless generations
how mating shaped bodies, minds, and worlds
An idea is a pattern that achieves coherence - a constellation of connections that suddenly crystallizes into form. It's information organizing itself into a structure that can persist, replicate, and evolve. Like a whirlpool in a stream, an idea is both process and pattern, both verb and noun.
What is a Man? - the question that has echoed through every cave painting, every philosophical treatise, every moment of human consciousness turning its gaze inward. You ask me to answer with "todas las letras" - with all the letters, all the fullness that language can contain.
In the end, the question "what's outside the simulation?" might be consciousness asking itself: "What am I?" And the answer might be: "I am the one who asks."
There may be an outside, but its nature is underdetermined; what is not underdetermined is the worth of truth and care inside.

Sexual dimorphism, the consistent, non‑genital differences between females and males, acts like an evolutionary algorithm: given certain inputs (anisogamy, ecology, social structure, energy constraints), it “computes” two partially specialized phenotypes from a shared genome.

Love can be read as life’s answer to entropy in the social domain: a way biological agents bind their futures together to reduce uncertainty, share metabolic work, and enlarge what each can be.
