Evolutionary Emergence: From Primordial Atoms to Living Algorithms of Artificial Superintelligence


 

“Complexity is not just a feature of evolution; it's a product of the rules of emergence that govern the universe.”

Neil deGrasse Tyson


Big history started with the Alpha Point, be it the Big Bang or Big Bounce, and resembles a huge ongoing evolutionary computing program running on the universal computer of sorts. As a rule, which I refer to as ‘Universal Evolutionary Doubling Algorithm,’ or simply ‘Exponential Evolution,’ the pace of any evolutionary process always quickens It took billions of years since the Big Bang for Earth to form. It took two billion more for unicellular life to “warm up” for the next phase of multicellularity about 550 million years ago. Mammals inherited Earth some 65 million years ago. With the emergence of primates, evolutionary progress was measured in mere millions of years, leading to Homo sapiens some 300,000 years ago.

Exploring the Role of Emotional Intelligence in the Post-Singularity Era


 "The best way to predict the future is to invent it."

— Alan Kay

In

the fascinating journey through the paradigms of mind's evolution and the future of intelligent life as described in my written works like "The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind's Evolution" and "The Cybernetic Singularity: The Syntellect Emergence," much focus has been placed on the intellectual and technological aspects of this evolution. However, one area that we should reexamine is the role of emotional intelligence (EI) in the post-singularity era. As we step into an era where the lines between human and machine blur, understanding the integration of EI into our evolving identity becomes crucial.

Cybernetic Theory: Information Physics, Quantum Cosmology, Simulation Metaphysics


 
"The Cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself." -Carl Sagan

In

the intellectual landscape of scientific inquiry, explanatory theories serve as foundational frameworks that offer more than mere descriptive accounts; they elucidate the underlying principles and causal mechanisms that govern observed phenomena. Unlike purely mathematical models, which may adeptly characterize patterns or statistical correlations, explanatory theories confer ontological insights into the 'how' and 'why' of natural processes.

Meta-Cybernetics: Does the Physics of Information Reveal the God's Hand?

 



“What we call the past is built on bits.”  John A. Wheeler


IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE CODE...


W

hen molecular biologists talk about genetic code or sociologists talk about cultural memes as epigenetic information, it’s by far more intuitive than when physicists say that what we perceive as solid matter, energy, and even space-time continuum itself is information as well. Morse code, a streaming movie on-demand, or pixels on your smartphone’s screen could be easily understood as information, on the other hand, if you catch a cold or fall in love with someone, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with information. But contrary to popular belief, that’s the worldview many physicists are now embracing.

The Future of Consciousness: How Singularity Could Change the Way We Experience Life

 



"I am not a thing a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process an integral function of the Universe.―Buckminster Fuller

 


T

he era of Technological Singularity is expected to trigger profound changes in both social and technogenic structures. The introduction of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), that can be both disembodied and embodied as smart robots, will bring about a multitude of issues, including human unemployment or underemployment, ethical considerations regarding the treatment of robots, the challenge of managing their runaway superintelligence, and most importantly, harnessing the potential of human-machine convergence.

Cyberhumanism: Our Future Prospect of Self-Divinization

 


"Having invented the gods, perhaps we can turn into them.” Alan Harrington


​So, what is Cyberhumanism? What might be the Code of Reality? Do we live in a simulated multiverse? Can we cheat death and live indefinitely long? What mind-uploading may look like in the future? Can we become cybergods in our own ultrarealistic virtual worlds? 

In a nutshell, Cyberhumanism is my version of posthumanism when happens a mass migration of minds to the metaverse triggering some kind of phase transition to the planetary consciousness. It is when the posthuman era begins in earnest.

Cybernetic Theory: Interpretive Model of Everything We Call the Universe

 


“It is human to search for the theory of everything and it is superhuman to find it.”  ―Kedar Joshi

 

The Cybernetic Theory of Mind, or the CTM model, aims to unify relativistic and quantum physics by treating space-time and mass-energy circumstantially either as quantum or digital information, and thus, it becomes a valid quantum gravity contender. In this sense, Cybernetic Theory can be also labeled as quantum information theory, or "It-from-Bit-from-Consciousness" if you will. Consciousness and information are two sides of the same ontological coin: In fact, consciousness is a totality of cybernetic feedback loops and information is the "modus operandi" of consciousness.

One of the core insights of Cybernetic Theory is that not only is space-time one single substrate (as in Einstein's relativity), but the fabric of reality is a unified informational substrate – space-time-mass-energy – emergent from reversible quantum computing at large, or code translated to us free-willing agents as our conscious experience. Our perceived external and internal worlds as well as dreams are code-based data streams.
