"The Mule is aware that the loyalty and affection people show him are not genuine" In Isaac Asimov's book series, "The Foundation" is a sanctuary for the galaxy's top scientists and scholars to preserve knowledge and begin a new civilization.
Define probabilities relative to an observer? Non-Markovian processes, where the future depends on the entire past, not just the current state? Connection to Non-Ergodicity? Case Example: In fluctuating space-time, the ground truth of probability dissolves.
There is a peculiar solitude that follows those who walk the path of truth seeking. It's not a loneliness imposed from outside, but rather a natural consequence of seeing beyond the illusions that bind most people together. Most relationships are built on shared illusions - mutual agreements about
Reality is a user-friendly fiction, symbols our minds use to navigate an inscrutable reality. Extending this idea to a "Primordial Consciousness", reality might become from a living network of conscious agents that are all one being, in a complex interaction that enables experiences, and life.
Does the paradox vindicate an ontology where reality is perspectival (varying with the observer’s viewpoint) rather than absolute? These paradoxes may reveal that what we take to be "objective reality" is better modeled as an observer-centric construction.
Large Language Models (LLMs) have rapidly advanced to exhibit behaviors that challenge the notion they are merely next-word prediction engines. What are these minds? This will be an honest and rigorous journey into known and unknown aspects of our collective being.
Mythological, historical, psychological, and symbolic roots across cultures and time. Mesopotamian precursors, Jewish and Gnostic interpretations, modern philosophical and psychological readings (e.g. Jung, feminist theology). Character motivations and metaphysical frameworks.
Conceptual and ontological relationship between causality and time. The origin of change in Physics (relativity, quantum gravity, thermodynamics), metaphysics (temporal ontology, process philosophy), and cosmology (pre-time origins, first causes).
Is cause-and-effect a fundamental feature of the world or merely a convenient heuristic? Is The only question that can be asked in physics "What fraction of states satisfying condition A also satisfy condition B", a conditional probability? or a "Giant" differential equation?
It took me 5 years to complete my PhD thesis. I can do a better job in a month, with AI. Advances in artificial intelligence are brutal and unstoppable. Whats next?
How morphogenesis works? Uncover known mechanisms, current hypotheses, and speculative frontiers — weaving together genetics, epigenetics, bioelectricity, cellular cognition, and developmental teleology into a unified narrative.
Truth and deception are often seen as opposites, but throughout history they have been forces driving evolution, society, and knowledge. Truth and its relationship to Lies and Deception from the dawn of life on Earth to the emerging era of artificial intelligence.
Why complexity in the universe appears to increase over time: How irreversible process drives creation.
The three dimensions we explored – anisogamy (egg/sperm dichotomy), the Y chromosome, and maternal mitochondria – all illustrate a common theme: division of roles and specialization. By splitting reproductive contributions between two sexes in unequal ways, evolution opened up new adaptive pathways.
When we gift our time to open source, we’re not just helping “others”—we’re investing in the "common good".
