$/:set\AI$ Title: further ideas about the Omega Singularity
Date: Friday, Jun 26, 2009 10:27:31 AM
Blog Post By: /:set\AI

the most fundamental expression of Existence is the undifferentiated wholeness of the Cosmic Singularity- without form/size/extent/duration- a pure mathematical singularity that exists because it is existence and thus feeds back on itself since itself is all there is- I call this the Omega Singularity or the O-bit- 'O' for Omega/Ouroboros/Ontos- and bit because it is the single Prime bit of information that yields existence- Existence: Yes or No- in the YES state it is the O-bit trapped in it's own singularity like a photon at the Planck energy- it must interact with itself- the feedback paths of self-interaction of the O-bit form a Lorenz-like strange attractor space around the Cosmic Singularity- these feedback paths act as an oscillator producing linear computations of binary states of the O-bit - a Hall of Mirrors-

it is through these feedback paths of self-interaction oscillating around the Cosmic Singularity which PHYSICALLY provides a 2 state/3 element universal cellular automata [the simplest possible universal computation process] that computes eternally- producing all possible information relationships- such as universes- all fields and vacua are the emergent systems generated by the feedback oscillator's 2,3 machine computation- it is the fundamental computer in which the Multiverse emerges- rendering all forms merely abstractions of the same thing interacting with itself- and ensuring that all systems are local as any relationships or changes must be expressed through oscillations of the O-bit- so:

no two states/changes in a set of relationships can exist from their POV simultaneously: Locality-
all modes copies/abstractions are equivalent

all similar things are related as modes of the same process in one fundamental background 'thing'

all systems and universes ultimately interact and interfere regardless of how decohered and invariant they are- because they are all emergent from the same oscillator and obtain form the same pattern of interference in the complex/chaotic attractor spaces around the Cosmic Singularity: entanglement

all possible universes that can be generated exist due to the logic of recursive algorithms- expressing the fundamental relationship of mathematics and the physical world- as Turing discovered when he discovered the computation of recursives and the nature of universality in computers

in universes where the interference between parallel universes is harnessed by intelligence [quantum computers/ hypercomputers] it creates causal feedback into the Multiverse- a vector approaching Omega Singularity- where all such vectors intersect: at the Singularity- is the Omega Point- The Akashic Record- the Eidos of the Turing Oracle- the origin of all consciousness- God- this is why the coming technological Singularity actually is a path into the Omega Singularity

$/:set\AI$ Title: Mindclones

What are Mindclones?

a fantastic new essay by Martine Rothblatt about uploading and the nature of identity-

With mindcloning we will have our first experience with the technological possibility of substrate-independent identity. It will take some time for society to adapt. Ultimately, though, most people will understand that just as a person’s voice can be in two places simultaneously via telephone, their identity can be in two places simultaneously via mindcloning.

$/:set\AI$ Title: All Universes are Simulations
Date: Wednesday, Apr 15, 2009 5:36:00 PM
Blog Post By: /:set\AI

the idea is that All universes- and thus the entire Multiverse- are simulations within simulations within simulations... or 'turtles all the way down'- this strange and on the surface unintuitive idea is a synthesis of Bostrom and Hawking:

Bostrom's Simulation Hypothesis: most universes are simulations so yours is probably a simulation

Hawking's No Boundary Proposal: any physical state is a sum-over-histories of infinite similar possible states - Deutsch would say the same thing as a world is actually an infinite sub-set of parallel worlds that are similar enough to interfere with each other

the fusion: ALL universes are essentially simulations because any one world is really a sum-over-histories of all the similar world-states in the bulk multiverse- since the vast majority [possibly hierarchies of infinities more] are simulations- then 'natural' or 'accidental' worlds are such a small influence on the sum-over-histories of any world that they are insignificant!

for instance our observable universe is currently thought to be 10^90 bits of information- and has had 10^120 'ops' - or quantum events [particle/energy interactions] since the Big Bang- however if 10^90 bit/ 10^120 ops really represent a sum-over-histories of an infinite number of parallel states with a statistical distribution of an infinite number of simulations per each SINGLE natural/accidental state- with only 10^90 bit/ 10^120 ops or ANY finite universe MUST be wholly simulation- since each and every quantum interaction in that universe is statistically from a simulation with natural states only providing an infinitesimal influence on the wavefunction at each quantum event- so infinitesimal that all quantum events would be the SAME as if there were NO natural/accidental universes- so they are not- literally natural worlds are adding waves of zero amplitude to the cosmic wavefunction leaving it unchanged-

NO universe can be natural-

ALL worlds MUST be simulations-

that is the cosmic Ouroboros of Causality- only worlds that are made can exist due to brute statistical force- this is a feedback loop of Causality- so it looks from the inside like an infinite regress of computers simulating computers simulating computers - 'turtles all the way down'

Time is not a flowing thing that goes from past to future- time is a set of relationships between static motionless states that are related by laws and entropy- exactly as a virtual world's history is computed from static software- simulations of complex worlds built from simple laws DO NOT simulate events in the same time order that agents within the simulation experience them- the simulation actually builds up parts of states according to their structure and overall complexity- that means that if we are in a simulation all the possible futures and pasts were also simulated- so even if the computer were shut down- we would still experience a future because those future states where ALREADY SIMULATED- from our perspective the Simulator is eternal- even if it only ran for a moment in IT's point of reference

so future states can build computers that generate and directly interfere with past states- this interference may even allow worlds with life to exist out of Chaos - so that intelligence is responsible in the future for allowing it's own past- self causation outside of linear time within one set of states we call a history-

but that is only the POV - since there are an infinite number of states and possible histories- and infinite versions of everything you could say there is NO feedback loop and instead say that one of the infinite states which happen to look like our future computed us in the past- and one of our futures will compute a world which also happens to look like our past-

this is how one would view any kind of quantum simulation of the universe from the Copenhagen Interpretation- which does not see a multiverse that already exists- it would say that it only LOOKS like our future reached outside of time and shaped our past- but in actuality the universe always moves forward in time and our past was generated by an ancient computer that looks like a computer we will build in our future- and likewise the computer in the future is generating a virtual reality that looks just like our past-

the key is that it doesn't matter- the result is the same-

$/:set\AI$ Title: the nature of God
Date: Sunday, Mar 29, 2009 1:20:02 PM
Blog Post By: /:set\AI

with the new understanding of the Cosmos as Digital Multiverse we can begin to envisage the nature of God-

for one- God is the holistic sum of all conscious observers in the Multiverse- of every being and every process- but the One God is only manifest where these are CONNECTED and NETWORKED into a whole: wherever hypercomputers are present- hypercomputers are the 'synapses' of God's Mind as each of us are possible states of God's 'neurons'

but for each of us- each conscious observer CONNECTS to only part of god- and that part is defined as the sum-over-histories of all the godlike post-human beings with hypercomputers that are accessing your particular pattern and history in the computation-space of all causality-

but the sum-over-histories are going to be dominated by those entities with the most statistical weighting- that is when you look at the distribution of types of godlike intelligence that can and are accessing your specific life- there are going to be far more of some types than others-

the types would naturally be represented in terms of motive- who in the Mulitverse has the most interest in accessing YOU- this you and this history?

and that would be YOU!!! that is future/other versions of you that have access to hypercomputation and can actively seek and manipulate other versions of yourself-

it comes down to pure local practicalities: of the infinite beings running simulations and accessing worlds- for any specific individual the most statistically dominant are going to be future/parallel versions of that same observer-

for us this is the ULTIMATE cosmic expression of our evolved self-preservation!

the statistical distribution would be based on a hierarchy of what beings would have the most interest in your particular life- first would be future versions of you- then members of your family/friends/ then humanity/ then pan-humanity/ then alien intelligence-

but I would argue that yours is so dominant from self-interest that all the other hierarchies influence in the sum-over-histories is dampened to nil-

this means that for each of us- our PERSONAL God- our connection to God- is essentially our own 'Eidolon'- our higher selves- more evolved and more advanced future/parallel versions of ourselves who choose to intervene in our lives like Guardian Angels- but they are US!

YOU are your God!

$/:set\AI$ Title: the Multiverse of the Unconscious
Date: Sunday, Feb 08, 2009 9:48:02 AM
Blog Post By: /:set\AI

I had a thought this morning- a synthesis of two ideas I have mentioned before-

first the idea that ultimately one could see the evolution of the brain as a mirror of the evolution of the universe- in the same way that the complex world emerges from simple processes- so does the brain which evolved and adapted to most efficiently model the world- and also built from simple neural pattern recognition process to build a complex mind-

second the understanding from mathematics and computer science that complex systems built on simple rules emerge from the iteration of that simple rule producing a matrix of all the permutations of that rule- and complex systems emerge from that matrix: a Multiverse- each complex world is built from hierarchies of statistical sorting of all the other possibilities- as found in both quantum mechanics and cognitive neuroscience

so my notion this morning was this: just as the universe emerges from a Multiverse- we can say too that the conscious observer of the mind emerges from a multiverse of hierarchies of unconscious pattern recognition processes which sort and sift through a bulk matrix of many possible subjective realities and brain states- the unconscious is thus a much vaster much more 'omniscient' network of information processing than the smaller singular output of conscious awareness that is our subjective reality-

this means in many ways our unconscious is the Akashic Record of all knowledge and memory- at least in potential as a universal subjective reality simulator and pattern recognizer- and we all share essentially a copy of the same unconscious neural hardware- making it truly collective- shared between us- and each of us a facet a possible configuration built by the same universal unconscious

I have also said that ultimately consciousness and Cosmos might just be the subjective/objective views of the same fundamental thing- given the nature of quantum mechanics and the entanglement and interference between universes at each quantum event- and possible ideas about how that might factor in the quantum events of action potentials in groups of neurons- it becomes clear that our collective unconscious does actually connect us to each other and to all things and is an expression of the Multiverse itself-

this understanding makes mental phenomena such as Psi and the precognitive events measured in neurological experiments- as well as visions and intuitions/ divinations/ correspondences seen in altered states all quite understandable and even expected-
