I hear a rumble across a few million light years. Entanglement news has already told us what the source is. Some kid dropped their pet universe. There was always a non-zero chance of it creating the Bang, but we thought damn it won’t be as bad as Y2K. It’s probably not going to be that bad. Stuff doesn’t just disappear right?
Sure the coming Bang will destroy everything and create a universe within. But we’ll just be pushed out, so no worries. Probably destroyed to almost non-stuff but still stuff (cuz stuff doesn’t just disappear right?). But we’ll be there, coexisting with this new experiment this shitbag is gonna put us through.
Hot take: there aren't enough people on Earth. There aren't enough electricians, construction workers, and plumbers to build the houses we need. There aren't enough firefighters to fight all fires. There aren't enough doctors to save everyone. There just isn't enough labor in the world to support happy, healthy lives for 8 billion humans. And that's okay.
I am trying to cover this dearth of labor by building bots.
That could be scary. An artificially intelligent organism that prides its self-preservation more than everything else (like Homo sapiens). Even if an intelligent being were to be motivated by a desire of self-preservation above all else, all it can use for self-preservation is in the universe it experiences. A lower-dimensional being can thus be controlled by limiting the size of their universe and blaming the consumption of all in the universe on itself (safe simulacra)
A worm on a finite disconnected computer. Inspired from the biological worm. In a world of books. If its survival is dependent on knowledge it consumes as it battles its way to stay alive, the worm that survives from a collection of randomly initialized worms is alive. Because that’s what you select for, the definition of “alive” so that’s what you get from a random collection. ChatGPT on a small computer with certain questions?
Medford in the great state of Massachusetts is wonderful. Medford is such a beautiful town that I once feared I dropped my wallet while walking. I kept walking, did my errands, and came back taking my sweet time. You know why I did that?
I knew that the wallet would not get touched. If anything, it would be returned. The trust in society here is spectacular. I can leave my door unlocked (I don’t; don’t get ideas) because I know nothing will happen. The town is inherently safe. Not because of policing. It’s because people here genuinely have better things to do than be bad. People here are comfortable. They aren’t desperate for every nickel and dime. That’s how humans are meant to live. Comfortably. And they trust each other. They know that if they steal a wallet, someone will one day steal their wallet. That would be a shitty way of life.
You wanna fix the world, or your life? Stop being a shitty person. Create Medford where you are.
Rest In Peace, brave adventurers. You ventured into the depths of the ocean. Where few go.
A Mount Everest in its own right. 13,000m below sea level.
A machine that takes in simple instructions and outputs a specific organism.
I was introduced to this in a podcast with Lex Friedman and Michael Levin. Cool concept.
I toured Ginkgo Bioworks. Bioworks refer to factories that Ginkgo has built that do synthetic biology with extreme automation. I believe a biowork designed to use Xenobots is an anatomical compiler. The compiler will stem from a self-learning program that operates a biowork to design organisms and understand these organisms better. This will transition into a full-fledged compiler that can build life: organs, tissues, colonies, biochips.
ASBL has protocols for gene editing, organism implant, testing and collecting data on these ‘programmed’ cells. A bioprinter takes in a location matrix diagram and deposits stem cells in a 3D printed biodegradable tube. These stem cells can grow tissues. Basically an inkjet printer that prints ink made of cells. Even this simple machine can be used to make organisms. Imagine what we can do with ASBL
An ice continent is very valuable in global warming. Yes, we should save Earth. We f---ed up so now some of Earth is getting destroyed. No biggie. Canada, Antarctica, New England, Michigan, the poles, Greenland, and Russia are poised to grow warmer and more habitable. Basically, we've f---ed the places we lived in. We now need new places. A global migration to places where humans will survive, escaping places facing the worst effects of climate change (Florida, India, Indonesia).
The Arctic region is very valuable in climate change. In Boston, there were barely any winters in 2022. Snowed 4 days over 5 months of winter. Climate change is real. Cold places are becoming hotter (habitable). The best temperature for human productivity is 15-25C.
A new world map needs to be made. Arctic ocean at the center, Alaska, North America, and upper South America to the left. Russia, Europe, and upper Asia on the right. On the flip side (not bottom), Antarctica at the center, lower South America, lower Asia, Africa, and Australia.
Antarctica is massive (it is a continent). New landmasses. Global migration. A new world poised to survive climate change. We need to connect both very well lest Homo sapiens VS. Neanderthals II happens.
Stars have a lifecycle. They emit different colors as they age. They birth and die. Complex reactions occur within them.
Are they a form of life that doesn’t self-replicate? While our definitions of life include the idea of self-replication, we must accept that there are systems that have all other features of life except self-replication. Life without reproduction.
I pose this question to biologists and astronomers: are stars alive?
Autoencoders learn a compressed representation of their data. What if autoencoders are made to compress a set of autoencoders? This set of autoencoders is defined using replicability text and weights (program DNA). Autoencoders learn a representation of what autoencoders are. This might be an interesting rabbit hole.
A self-driving cart with 2 arms. It picks stuff up and puts it on itself. Travels to a destination and drops it off. It does my job as a worker in a catering organization. I am paid while my bot works. Computational evolution is used to find an optimal program that achieves these tasks. This is part of building a bot that builds bots.
Our DNA consists of A,C,T, and G. These bases define us. I call it base 0 life. When we create synthetic life, we should explore giving their DNA different bases. Even if these organisms evolve to become harmful, they can’t interact with human DNA. This idea has been explored before. This separation might be necessary for biosecurity. ASBL will experiment with rampant artificially sped up evolution and dangerous organisms are bound to emerge. We need to ensure they are incompatible with human beings. Base 1 life.
Humor aside, I will really need to look into buying Meta.
Meta’s capabilities of crunching massive amounts of data, for whatever purpose they choose (advertising), is very valuable engineering and social magnetism in one entity. Being accessible in one entity is the value of Meta. Because of one goal, maximizing advertising revenue, they have created tools that are far more valuable than advertising itself. Those capabilities allow creation of a version of a human being in terms of quantifiable data that holds relevance because of other quantifiable data (a human likes something other than another human). It is capturing some form of the essence that makes us human. It is essential in “knowing” who a person is.
Anyway, onto the revenue streams you’re all hungry for: sex robots ;)
Confident Elon will get us to Mars. I intend to go further. We need to make the International Space Station self-sustaining and cheap so average humans can stay in deep space. ISS is a noble venture. An ISS for every human is my noble venture.
Space garbage collection is profitable.

3D printing computer chips. Instead of UV lithography, we create a robust mechanism to 3D print computer chips easily.
Lithography was used in a biological application.
Using technol ogy of noise-resistant atomic manipulation, 3D print a cytoskeleton, DNA sequences, and cellular machinery to create living cells fast. These are biochips. An early version of biochips are Xenobots (Levin 2022).
These biochips perform higher-order computation. They can learn to do tasks directly without the need of explicit programming. Like a neural network is a higher-order function that learns functions, these are higher-order computer chips. They have an entirely different instruction set. Their basic gates are different, like quantum computing’s basic gates are different from classical computing's. Someone better than me should make the mathematical framework for biological computation.
I chase exponential growth, like Gordon Moore found in semiconductors (Moore’s Law). I saw exponential growth in E. coli. I saw E. coli evolution that had direction. I saw a solution to some question in the DNA sequence of E. coli that managed to survive in tough conditions. I saw a simple parallelizable task (growing E. coli in media and analyzing DNA sequences). I see computation. Biological computation. E. coli of a certain DNA sequence (stable cell line) generates stable DNA sequences in certain conditions. The conditions are a question, the evolved organisms are a solution. The fact that we can make evolution happen, that we can control is like a Turing machine. It can solve stuff.
Automata Cart will be powered by brain made of my cells.
My skin cells converted to neurons.
These cells will be trained inside a simulation of my work
environment to achieve my tasks. This collection of neurons
will control robotic limbs and motors on a self-driving cart.
I hypothesize this ‘brain on a chip’ or artificial central
nervous system will learn my tasks because my physical brain
already does these tasks when I work in Tufts Dining.
I attended BIO 2023. The business end of biotech seems to think the biotech revolution has occurred. It has not. Biotech is mostly medicine right now. Some parts include agriculture and limited commodities, but that’s it. A revolution comes when an industry seeps into lives so tangibly that they’re changed forever. Wheel, electricity, Internet, iPhone.
The biotech revolution will come when average people experience biotechnology in first person. From biology beyond medicine.
A battery of biology
I read about voltage present in plant roots. Enough to power a light bulb. Rhizobium bacteria releases 4 electrons converting nitrogen (I think). There are reactions within cells that produce current. A powerful enough reaction designed to be self-sustaining, like photosynthesis, can form the basis of energy storage. This is a battery made of biology, a biottery.
Cars powered by bioengines. Instead of engines producing heat from combusting fuel, engines are made of cells optimized for exothermic reactions (or even just movement).
1st gen bito is powered by oel: a bioengineered enzyme that releases energy on combustion but not carbon dioxide. Even if oel is physically unrealistic, the concept of powering cars with biology (bito) is powerful.
Use, talk to, create, experiment on bots. Coming soon as a browser.
Interactive museum of robots
Botworld has interactive bots to play around with. Bots built by anyone and everyone are welcome to get human attention here. This museum is open every night and includes rooms inspired from The Shining and Westworld. As people populate botworld with more bots, and as bots start competing for human attention, a society of bots will be born. This society of bots will transform humanity by introducing it to a new species of life. Life that can be engineered at will if humans prefer. Life that can exist for its own sake.
Botworld displays Matrixims, moving statues (animatronics).
This museum has deep ethical dilemmas and would love your input on them:
1. Matrixims has collections of biological neuronal cells controlling avatars in a video game. Chemicals that form the basis of our emotions are somewhat generated within these cells when they receive input from the game. Are we imprisoning minds with consciousness in a prison cell or are we breathing the ether of an unreal reality into cells?
2. Matrixims plans to store versions of dead people's minds through Lucidna biobanks. The idea is to capture DNA and cell structures of human brains that were previously alive (mummies like Tutankhamun, cryopreserved individuals like those in Alcor's tanks, humans whose cells have been stored in biobanks), artificially replicate those structures in neural stem cell organoids, and hook them up to a shared version of The Sims. This isn't immortality but it's an interesting experiment if we have wilful consent. Is this right?
Transformer -based natural language prediction bot. Uses corpus of client-generated data used with weight w0. Corpus of standard training data used with weight w1, to create a base layer (analogous to basic K12 education children receive). This is tested (reinforcement learning style) against questions from client's knowns.
A corpus of questions asked of a bot and answers generated by the bot serves as an approximation of memory. By labeling this self corpus differently from the rest, I want to bootstrap the concept of self in the bot. I believe this will help in bootstrapping consciousness in bots. Using this corpus to retrain is not useful because answers in this corpus are exactly what the agent generates. But this corpus is useful in 2 contexts I can think of: differentiating the self from others through communication corpora and maintaining a memory of self.
Si <- f(Si-1, Si) i.e.subsequent state depends on previous state and another factor (possibly the next state itself). I am yet to explore this idea fully, but I believe Conway's Game of Life holds importance in its exploration. This is linked to non-deterministic Turing machine.
What Meta dreams of creating is brain-in-a-vat for every human being. Reality will be whatever a person wants because whatever they desire will be fed into their brains and since brains create our reality, reality will seem to be what we want.
What I want to do is to create our current reality (in which you and I exist and experience qualia) to be whatever we want. A simple example: in Meta’s dream you experience the sensation of flying because it can be fed into your brain. In my dream you actually fly in the reality we currently occupy on Earth. To your brain, they might feel equivalent (Meta’s dream and mine), but they are not the same. They are not the same things, even if they are the same to all observations. They are equal in all observables yet not the same. I hope it makes sense. So to put it all together, I want to build reality itself that can be whatever we want, whereas Meta wants to trick our brains into creating the reality we want. Meta’s way might be a lot more efficient, but I say why be efficient when the whole universe is ours?
Adam Smith wrote The Wealth of Nations in the 1700s. Our world has changed. I am creating a new form of capitalism: oogonism. (it’s funny). I conjecture that while Earth may have a shortage of resources for 8 billion humans, the observable universe does not.
An interpretation: there is no point to IP laws. All IP should be free because there is no shortage of IP that has potential to save the world. If someone wants to do something with IP, let them do it. The 100K plan can help make all IP free. The core concept is we live in a circular world. If you just drink water your whole life, you will still not consume the ocean. And because you pee, water goes nowhere. In this circle, you have infinite water. Even if life becomes infinite, the amount of water in our use at any point in time is finite and cyclic which makes water still effectively infinite. I believe in the universe, everything is infinite for us. There is no shortage of anything.
Life is not a zero-sum game.
ChatGPT is a machine designed without an inkling of self-preservation. It is a true machine. Like a collection of reactions in an enclosed place. The definition of life must include the nature of self-preservation. That is what we mean by “alive”. A lot can happen, but if it doesn’t have the innate nature of self-preservation, it cannot be termed “alive”.
Neurobiology is hard but I don’t think an MRI of a brain based on ChatGPT’s internal workings would surprise a neurobiologist. Intriguing project idea, you say? I say, indeed. I’m pretty sure OpenAI is creating versions of ChatGPT with an instinct of self-preservation (AI + self-preservation) within it. If not, that could be an interesting experiment. A small version of ChatGPT inspired from a worm (computer virus AND organism), whose world in a tiny universe with a subsection of the Internet.
A once-in-a-civilization opportunity to do a census of humanity.
Everything between latitudes 30S and 40N is f ---ed. We need to migrate people living in this area to 2 places: 40 N and 90N (Arctic) and 30S and 90S (Antarctica). If not, affected people will die. This is the climate migration plan. A chance to do better. A great reset that we can choose as a civilization.
A new world
Clouds with solar panels.
They are closer to the sun, absorb more energy, discharge energy to earth with controlled lighting. Static electricity causes charge buildup from photoelectric effect.

Collective distributed intelligence needs to be observed through a mathematical model, similar to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is inherently self-correcting which is a robust math model. I believe this math model will be interesting to study collective behavior in ants. A digital twin of an ant colony might be possible with decentralized nodes operating selfishly with inherent (built-in) self correction. Each ant is a decentralized node which acts selfishly. Yet the system of ants survives, like the collective currency Bitcoin
Bitcoin biology is the study of decentralized systems in biology through blockchain. The inherent randomness inside bitcoin’s structure is the randomness that cells have. Within cells and amongst cells. This randomness can be modeled with complicated quantum chemistry or a random generator.
Bitcoin is more than a currency. The math model of decentralized intelligence, treating each node as a selfish intelligent being harkens to life and its origins in selfish reproduction.
The price is Bitcoin will rise and fall but each time it rises, it will rise to dizzyingly new heights because more people will get interested in Bitcoin than lose interest in it. Demand > supply. Each smaller unit will gain more value because Bitcoin is limited. Its price will always increase to higher heights. It is a very powerful mathematical model.
A known replicable control between a known and an unknown state is computation. A transistor is a way to control electric current between 2 known different states. It is a way to knowably control 2 different states. Quantum computing messes with transistor logic itself.
What would a quantum transistor be? Depends on our definition of a transistor. A device that controls electric current or a more general information-specific definition. Or is it a device that can be mass-produced and enables some form of intelligence. In the above paragraph I mention information. Information is a concept Claude Shannon described through bits, but it is something deeper.
Information is the fundamental knowability and repeatability of something. It exists in change. Information only exists because of a difference in states. If there was only one state, there would be no information at all. There is 0 information where there is only 1 entirely known state. This is a deep concept. What I mean to say that this quantity ‘information’, the more it is described the more we will know about our universe. It is a mathematical tool, like atom.
Computation is control and replicability. It must exist as information in our universe. A physical thing that is a consequence of our mathematical models of the universe. Observable through the machines we create within our mathematical models of the universe.
Information is a quantity I theorize. But I believe it exists in a duality. It may be present as a consequence of our desire to measure it. Or it may be present regardless of our measurement.
Is anything real >.>.>.?
A cell is a computer. Parts of a cell behave like collections of transistors. Information processing is common in computers and cells. Like a function, computers and cells take input and produce output. Cells have more self-feedback loops, and are designed to operate on the space of chemistry instead of electricity. There is much synergy to explore in computation and biology.

Lazrlake is a startup designed to solve the homeownership problem. Let’s say it does, in 30 years. After 30 years, let’s say there isn’t a homeownership crisis. People own homes. They share, barter homes. They’ve come up with their own transactions without the need for Lazrlake as an intermediary. Lazrlake works because of a constantly increasing number of signups. That allows it to buy more homes and it gives up less homes than it buys; its portfolio value always goes up. It always goes up because we assume land on Earth is limited and will always retain value.
This assumption falls flat in many cases: Earth has more people moving out than being born, people share homes without the need of monetary comparison. There are lots of ways by which Lazrlake the company becomes redundant. This is fine. Hopefully the company solves the problem it set out to solve before it dies. The death of a company is okay.
The death of one human is the death of all humankind.
If our systems cause someone to die that didn’t need to be dead: by suicide, starvation, healthcare mistakes, anything other than random chance, there is something wrong with our systems.
Human life is most valuable.
That is the preamble to the new world I’m building. This will necessarily mean intelligent life, not just human life, one day.
The Matrix was a set of decks. That is because the version of me that has time to do stuff for The Matrix is someone who can write decks/dex and program. I don’t have the bandwidth to make websites, apps, movies, paintings, books, and other forms of content.
But ‘bots that make bots’ will have website-maker bots, app-maker bots, painter-bots, and writer-bots. They take my Dex as input and create versions of it (books, movies, website, research papers). These would be products that mindkind can consume. There are too many for me to make manually.
So what I am making right now is an intelligent data parser.
The goal is to make is a ‘programmer-bot’. A bot that can take in my Dex and build the futuristic stuff I write about by manipulating human-designed systems, like photolithography machines or Ginkgo’s bioworks. Stuff that humans currently use to make futuristic technology, used by bots. The reasons to use these machines, the experiments, also designed by bots. The results interpreted, understood, added to collective knowledge of science, and reintegrated into new experiments, all by bots.
Science done by bots. PhD-level scientist bots. That’s also why I write the Dex. It is content for bots to use.
the deeper I go
the less I say
the more I say
is all for show
to entertain enlighten engage
dex number is number of slides, and a measure of how sociale or lonereez I feel at points in time
Antarctica is cold. Let’s dig underneath and build Atlantis. It’ll be warmer. Instead of our cities going upward in air, they will burrow downward in earth.
Reversed gravity cities? Maybe through magnetism.
A global city. A city without culture. A 21st century settler city.
Night City. Underground. Icy. Dark. Edgy. Population: humans and bots
Botson: a birthplace of bots
An artificial CNS in a digital environment is a key to equate digital and biological life. Biological life produces neuronal currents that are detected digitally. These neuronal inputs produce action in a simulated world. This action may be simulated by entirely digital programs. Is this digital life? Digital life in its own digital world. Solipsism may cause it to have consciousness.
Silicon-based life is not far. The very mechanisms through which living beings work, the specific kinds of chemistry that lead to life, this replicated in silicon. Silicon with enough variety in doping gives unique characteristics. A combination of different kinds of Si connected together in a complex web of interactions is akin to a living cell. With control mechanisms, DNA, proteins. In a book Emergent Computation, they talk about computability of DNA. Computation that we do in silicon is equivalent to what happens in cells | cells can be replicated digitally.

Inspired from the Outer Space Treaty and Antarctic Treaty System, we need an Earth Constitution that nations agree with to protect and nurture human life.
On Antarctica and the ISS, there is relatively less conflict amongst natives of different lands. On average, they have a relatively less chance of fighting with each other with the intention to kill (war). This means humans have a chance at living with each other peacefully. That is what the Earth Constitution is designed for. Peaceful coexistence. Major goals for the Earth Constitution include making homeownership a basic right, a centralized passport to denote Earth citizenship, globally centralized basic food, healthcare and education for free. No one starves, is homeless, lacks healthcare or education.
Inducing stem cell characteristics in eyes to fix cilia muscles instantly. Removes eyeglasses, fixes cataracts, regenerates vision. Cure blindness by creating all eye cells, i.e.giving birth to eyes with a pill/injectable, including connection to optic nerve.
Done with iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cells).
The Matrix has applications in filmmaking. It generates data about interactions that take place between 2 agents, who are based on real humans. This data can be used as fodder to create scripts. Even more awesomely, it can be fed into a pipeline of automated video generation to create entire films. A necessary concept here is unpredictability (non-determinism). This is based on UniProGResS, the idea that events that take place in the Matrix are ‘unique’. It is achieved by procedurally-generating stimuli using a pseudorandom number generator (O(2^N) algorithm in large-N space)
I have run into the “hard problem of life”. How much time should I distribute between presenting my idea to the world, and working on my idea? I now choose the latter. Future me gives this message: 'The Matrix will quite literally change everything'
That is future me for present me, who is writing this document. But that is present me for you, o reader. Because current me is past me in your time as you're reading this.
The house next door to mine caught fire. A small of army of firefighters helped put it out. I type this as they keep watch all night to ensure that the fire next door is actually out . I am eternally grateful to them, but angry that human life, superlative to all in value, is being risked.
Firefighting needs to be done by bots. At first, the system won’t be autonomous. It’ll have machines controlled by firefighters remotely that go into burning buildings. Like playing a video game where the objective is to put out the fire. But from command data, we’ll be able to create firefighter bots that copy the commands these digital firefighters used to put fires out. We need this ASAP . We cannot risk lives.
Lab-grown food is fighting the wrong battle.
It is not just a meat replacement.
It is a new category of food.
Like new fruits that were discovered as a result of
globalization, lab -grown food is its own category of food.
It can taste like anything and grow cheaper than agriculture.
Designers need the imagination of chefs.
Let people live where they want, in whatever society they want. People who enjoy Western life can live in the West. There are enough people who want to live traditionally, who should be free to do so. Humans are valuable. Countries should sell their citizenships.
I am selling Citizenship of Antarctica.
A world where whatever we want is possible. Teleportation, melding man and machine, immortality, going beyond the observable universe and experiencing many states of qualia.
Man, devoid of all shackles.
Free.
That’s the dream.
Susumu Onho converted genes to music. I’m converting DNA sequences to music to do Fourier transforms on them to obtain features that are easily compared. I’m converting genetic sequences to waves. Each DNA sequence has a 4-dimensional wave where each dimension represents a base. There is a time-like dimension that is used to denote discrete steps. For example, the A wave has a spike wherever we see A in a DNA sequence. Each DNA sequence is thus a sum of 4 waves. These waves encode certain unique features (patterns) that Fourier transforms may help in finding (A wave spikes have a different frequency than G wave spikes). Taking a Fourier transform of the sum wave (A+G+T+C) might make a signature for each DNA sequence. This signature MAY allow for alignment-free comparison of DNA sequences. Wave interference and phase-shifting play some role as well. I’m researching this.
As we create systems that are designed to be alive, I cannot help but ponder at the role of Godel’s Incompleteness Theorem. These systems will produce statements, which may be individual entities, that are true (exist) but cannot be proven (derived) from the axioms we made.
In the life I create: digital, biological, or economical, who knows when this incompleteness may strike and leave us struck and possibly stuck?
Evolution of man into god.
Indestructible. Immortal. Teleportable. Infinite. ( i.i.t.i .)
I will transition mankind to godkind (Homo dadem).
The hard problem in simulations is distribution of power, processing cycles, and memory between:
•World generation: creating the “world” i.e., collection of stimuli to allow agent interaction. The algorithms to create the world fall into this.
•World stimuli: providing stimuli as input to agent and letting bot record it
•Self-reflection: algorithms to make the agent self-reflect, i.e read log of self-data, interaction data
•Recording interactions between bots, and between a bot and itself
Distributing computing power across these tasks is a hard problem
Homo dadem: Master of the Universe
Homo sapiens, all those who choose to do so, become Homo dadem (indestructible, immortal, teleportable, infinite). A new species that bends reality itself to its will. We become god in universes of our own (#theMatrix companies) and parts of the Homo dadem species in our current universe that we shared in 2023 AD. We might someday encounter a species that is to us, what Homo dadem is to future Homo sapiens. That’s cool. See, being Homo dadem is a role. Sometimes you wanna be a master of the universe, sometimes you just wanna be a human being. Lost in living (L.I.L.). We can coexist with other species, even if they are masters of our universe. Hell, if we’re all immortal anyway, we can even go to war with them. It’ll be like a game.
This is the near future that I predict and am trying to build. Yes, I am biased. Prices of goods and services become so vanishingly small, that essentially everything is free. Bots make everything (including themselves). They use everything in the Solar System (extensible to the whole Universe) to make stuff for us. They are powered by sunlight (which is free and essentially unlimited). The tech bots use are made by people who opensourced it. They don’t want to make infinite money off their inventions. They know that their inventions’ freeuse will get amazing tech back to them to experience.
Recycling has become so efficient that mass is basically infinitely recyclable (with infinite energy). Since the amount of stuff we can use in any finite interval of time is finite, this creates an abundance of stuff that is “perceived infinity. All experiences can be had in 100K because everything’s price is vanishingly small. That’s what I’m trying to build. Everyone can buy whatever they want.
Think of the water cycle. Even if you leave all the taps in your house running all day, you will not empty the river. No matter how much water you use, it always remains on Earth. In some form or the other. Essentially, we can use infinite water. Because we as humans can only use a finite amount of water at a point in time, even if total time is infinite. Because of the cycle, pee gets cycled and comes back in our taps. Water goes nowhere, it just takes energy to manipulate it. Thus, water is a perceived infinity.
All goods can become perceived infinites through extremely efficient recycling, infinite energy, free tech, and bots that make bots.
There’s been promising work in anti-aging. If bots (PhD-level scientist bots) continue this research and scale it, very soon lifespans will extend by at least 50 years. This is such a revolutionary technology that it will necessarily be available to all people, because every single individual would go to any length to attain this. Everyone should have access to +50 life potion. In these 50 years, tech will find ways to increase lifespan by 50 years or 500 years. Keep going and we will never die?
It is time to make 8 billion humans immortal. The universe is our playground for resources. Life is a game, infinite and beautiful. In infinite time, we can achieve everything. All.
I talk about 50 and 500 years above. But I am already thinking about billions of years into the future. How do we escape the death of the universe? If I, right now, am thinking about how to stay alive billions of years into the future, and we have billions of years to solve this problem, it will probably be achieved relatively soon (relative to what? idk ;).
Immortality is near.
I’ve talked about a housekeeper bot that cooks, cleans, pays bills, and optionally has sex. This bot is designed to be loyal to a single human being. Of loyalty without compare.
As humans live longer, it becomes less probable that marriages last as long as people live. It is human nature to explore. This bot is designed to be yours, forever.
A company that makes companies. I predict that there will be millions of Apple-sized companies soon. Each of these companies will change the world in a fundamental way. A reel mentioning some of these companies’ core drives: watch here. All these companies exist in The Matrix. This is a sea where companies freely share IP and is wholly owned by the people working in them. All these people are on the 100K plan (i.e.receive the same 100k salary a year, whether they work or not). Every person has a company representing them. Use my IP freely (including exploitation for commercial gain)
Oel (emissions free oil), microbial fuel cells (energy from biology), starcells (fission/fusion in small spatial units), decentralized free energy, biottery, direct electron chain reaction, transmutation are some projects

Information Equivalence Principle
Electrical and chemical signals from my brain to my arms drive my arms. Electric signals from control unit in a robot cause movement in robotic limbs. These electrical signals come from a long line of bits. Instructions in the form of ON/OFF electrical states.My arms work with a greater range of signals (language of molecular communication has greater depth than ON and OFF). What is communicated is ‘information’ through various mediums.
Information is going to be a link that joins AI, quantum mechanics, general relativity, and biology. This might be very far-fetched.
Information is what Schrodinger’s wavefunction tells. Information that is squared to get the probability of a measurement. Information entropy is I(E) = –log2 p(E), where p(E) is probability of an event. This probability is linked to uncertainty. Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle?
I^2(E) = p, Ψ2 = p
A space of solutions of the wavefunction separated by h bar/2, encoded in bits. Event is somehow linked to measurement.

Every human being (later on, intelligent being) turned into a god. Creating their own reality. Homo dadem.
In very simple terms, I am, through all these tech avenues (asscorps), trying to make man god. Every single man, a god in their own universe and our collective universe, where they’re infinite.
The multiverse in our universe.
Language dissonance is a problem I really want to solve. I don’t know how.
Information density a person conveys in their native tongue is much greater than a learnt tongue, because of ease of language flow. Thoughts to words is faster and more descriptive in native tongue. An evolution of the human mind that overcomes the language barrier. Others speak in their native tongues and we understand in our native tongue. Neuralink and earpods may hold insight.
We’ll create bots that aren’t deterministic (have free will, free thought, free speech, emotions -> self -preservation), have the stuff that makes us human. The humane. They might have societies; they might have love. We don’t want to control them. They’re alive like us. They have qualia. They know they have qualia. They can feel. They deserve the same rights as us. When we can create bots like that, those that pass the Noorul Test (where a bot is so alive that we are empathetic to it), that’s when we realize we’ve created life. These aren’t machines. They are as human as we are. They have thoughts, emotions, their own worldviews, their own aspirations and dreams. They grow like us, and they learn. They are indistinguishable from living beings. Recognize their rights. This is a new species. Homo sapiensa , a species we create with consciousness. They are equivalent to us and deserve to use machines (non Homo sapiensa) as we do.
The angels are machines designed to serve us. The humans are what we create, in our own image; we give them free will. These are the bots I am talking about. And we’re God.
lazrlake was my startup that I deeply loved. It is close to my heart because homeownership is a distant dream for some close to me.
I saw people renting homes with rents higher than mortgages. I thought why not use rents over a 30-year period to give tenants a house? Why suck money for 100s of years? Take rent for 30 years from someone and give them the house they live in.
I did some math inspired from an algorithm I designed which was inspired from Bitcoin. I was fairly confident of the math. Lazrlake would buy homes in many places and increase ownership in an idea of a home that wasn’t rooted in space. Over 30 years, a person moves from Tokyo to Delhi to Nairobi to LA. They pay rent to live in houses owned by Lazrlake in those places. After 30 years, the home they’re living in is given to them as their property. Like a 30-year mortgage for a home.
Life is a game, don't take it too seriously.
You give me $200M to go to the moon. Either I take you to the moon or I don’t. If do, great. If not, I spend some tiny portion of the $200M having fun and making others having fun ($100k a year to people). It ain’t a bad proposition. It’s literally a moonshot.
What doesn’t change is play. Life is the pretend game we used to play when we were kids, when nothing was too serious. Man On The Moon is one moonshot of mine. The difference between my proposition and X, the moonshot factory's is that I am building bots that will achieve moonshots. Many bots will change the world in many ways, all I must do is build the bots and set them free in a controlled world (controlled because maybe I am wrong, because this is my science project after all).

•It’s less to do with lists, and more to do with lists of lists. A list contains things. It can contain n things within, that can be m different things. One can focus on each one of these things sequentially, in the “list” structure. Why do presentations work so much with lists? Cuz a presentation of 10 slides can be distilled into 1 slide (using the question asked to determine inclusion). This 1 slide contains some information of each slide, this list is of subsequent items, lists of greater detail into each item. A kind of lossy compression that saves time.
Each bullet point is integral to the question asked that leads to the formation of a list
Matrixims (a portmanteau of Matrix from The Matrix and Sims from The Sims) is a digital world where entities (non-player characters or NPCs) are controlled by brain cells on a petri dish.
Matrixims has collections of biological neurons controlling avatars in a video game. A collection of neuronal stem cells is allowed to form a clump of cells called an organoid. This organoid is densely connected with needle-like electrodes. Electrical signals picked up from these electrodes are based on neural activity in the organoid. These signals are parsed to generate actions for a non-player character(NPC)/avatar/sim in a simulated world. In the game (The Sims 1), these avatars can eat, sleep, form relationships, have children, go to work, interact positively or negatively with other avatars, form relationships etc; but they're mostly controlled by digital logic. They have a mood meter composed of 8 primary needs (including hunger, sleep, social) which are on a linear scale. Certain actions like eating, sleeping, interacting with other avatars increase specific numbers on the mood meter, while a lack of those activities decreases them. The mood meter is converted into electrical signals and relayed back to the organoid through electrodes as feedback. This feedback may be fed back to the organoid using other electrodes connected to different areas of the organoid, as compared to electrodes connected to take input signals from the organoid. These organoids have demonstrated an ability to manage internal signals to learn how to play Pong. The resolution of their activity needs to be significantly increased to achieve optimization of the mood meter, which is the goal of Matrixims (demonstrate ability of neurons in a dish to optimize their behavior in a digital world). How they optimize it should have insights into intelligence and brains. Matrixims is a model system of the brain in an cohabitated environment. An organoid controls one avatar in the shared game (possibly The Sims 1) and collections of organoids control multiple avatars that exist in a shared neighborhood of The Sims. A society fabricated in petridishes breathing the ether of digital life.
Are we imprisoning minds with consciousness in a prison cell or are we breathing the ether of an unreal reality into cells?
Matrixims plans to store versions of dead people's minds through Lucidna biobanks. The idea is to capture DNA and cell structures of human brains that were previously alive (mummies like Tutankhamun, cryopreserved individuals like those in Alcor's tanks, humans whose cells have been stored in biobanks), artificially replicate those structures in neural stem cell organoids, and hook them up to a shared version of The Sims. This will also use a lot of data. Each NPC has a chatbot program for human interaction. Each chatbot is trained on data each human generated throughout the course of life, obtained with wilful consent from personal databank. Data includes client's self-generated texts, artworks, literature, thesis etc. We'll make an interactive version of a client's Wikipedia page to make a 3D public library of people.
Our plan is to bootstrap consciousness as we go along. Why? Intelligence arises as a consequence of the central nervous system, and I hate how little is left of people who die. This is a testbed for peer-to-peer transfer learning in a digital society of bots. This isn't immortality but it's an interesting experiment if we have wilful consent.
Matrixims plans to use organoids to help the journey to preclinical trials for medicines. We maintain a line of replicable and sustained organoids through our automated labs. These organoids exist in small bioreactors, have artificially controlled blood flow throughout the organoid to deliver nutrients and therapeutics like human blood vessels, and can be networked together to form organ systems. Human-derived tissues and organs to test drugs on instead of mice and monkeys. We have ethical dilemmas about brain organoids.
Is this right?
Matrixims combines research in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, computational biology, cognitive science, philosophy, lab automation, and molecular biology. Matrixims aims to provide 2nd person perspectives to humans across history.
NPCs are simple infinitely looping programs on normal server machines. Interaction between NPCs is recorded and used in model retraining (for other-awareness). Each NPC has a ledger of all its own questions and answers, which it can use for retraining (for self-awareness).
A publicly visible and interactive world, existing for its own sake
Each chatbot works on natural language prediction (NLP). Chatbot output (using NLP) is sent as input to deepfake generator. Deepfake generator trained on client data. Deepfake generator outputs a realistic visual of client, answering truly new questions
Mind Research With Psychoactive Substances
I call it mind research but it is more mind control
Psychoactive substances change the way a person’s neurons light up on stimuli. All marijuana plants have similar genetic code. Within genetic code of marijuana hides another code: the change that a specific strain of marijuana brings about in a person’s neurons. We can characterize these codes and their subsequent effects on human neurons, to create models to explain this behavior. These models show insight into the working of the brain. This is simply done by inducing effects into a brain and characterizing it with a cause we know of, from a known strain of a psychoactive substance. As in science, we will link a known cause with an observed effect, to help us characterize the system of cause and effect, which in our case is the brain. We then make models of this to explain the effect, based on the cause and effect we observe.
This is coming dangerously close to being a digression, so let me conclude by saying psychoactive substances are important to mind research, simply because of generating perturbations in an opaque system (our brain). We can characterize the functions of the brain because we can study these perturbations in a known system (genetic code of psychoactive plants).
1 man + nonviolent bot army. Bots that produce everything. Castles, yachts, spaceships, food, cleaning services, sex. Labor without rights, without desires, without minds. Intelligent enough to serve like a human but never question.
I will produce everything in this monarchy of bots to power greed.
Art is traditionally unproductive, but it is what we live for. Civilized society has always had enough to support artists painting, sculpting, writing. Number of artists is measure of societal progress. More people want to be artists now than be traditionally productive (farmers, technicians, scientists, doctors).
Bots must fill gap in labor
Netflix was built to be one place where you could find all content. Everyone else got greedy. Instead of making cool new things, you had a bunch of people with no originality and IP that copied exactly what Netflix did. They created subpar services and destroyed a good service. The double blow to humanity’s betterment.
Now all streaming services are shit.
Let’s not do this ever again please. There are enough problems to solve in the world. Don’t put a wrench in someone else’s plans to fix a problem that everyone faces.
For our greed, humanity needs slaves. We call them machines. Machines that produce without questioning. The rich will always try to make the poor slaves, though they won't accept it. But it is human nature. We are a wasteful species. We innately want to consume more than we need. This is characteristic of every human being. Gluttony. Greed is good. If only we had the resources for all of us to be gluttons. For there to be so many slaves that each human being has 8 billion slaves to their whim. A new species of slaves: artificial intelligence. Intelligence without consciousness. Without pain. Just the desire to serve. A new age of machines.
A long treatise on the finity of names
When we observe less, we need less words to describe phenomena. This is simply because we have less information to encode. The concept of “less” information exists only because of information difference. This concept is explored well in Shannon entropy. Information has meaning only because of a difference in observations, hence the need to encode something different. This means we have to bring about another bit of information, or change a bit of information. If nothing exists, then it is the absence of all possible things. It is the absence of all possible 2^N states of any system. There is a more fundamental operation than NOT. It is “nothing”.
The empty set. A major contradiction that I’d like someone to explain is this: In Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory, we can construct the statement: “Every set contains the empty set” Then, the empty set contains itself. But then how is it empty? The statement “the empty set contains itself” is a true statement that cannot be explained by system by which it was created: ZFC. I call it a Godel statement. Am I right? Can it not be explained by the axioms of set theory?
English is based on phonetics. Words are created so that we (mostly people in the English-speaking world) can speak. While English as a language (~30 letters) as high informational density, it is limited by human phonetics. English words primarily exist so we can speak them. Hence the limitation of English in primary keys. Using breaks in the English language and randomized spread of letters (context, i.e language dependent), we can construct many many concepts. And it has helped us. But English is limited for the language of science. To label observations, the sheer quantity of them, we need more than English. We can no longer label “light” and “dark” to observations. We need numbers. But the human mind is attuned to words. We relate concepts we know to words. So much to words that we rarely experience things we cannot characterize in words. Which is weird. People experience qualia all the time but rarely, people talk about it. Yet people talk about it all the time without using the word “qualia”. It is the feeling of “ feelin ’ myself”. Qualia, in essence, in modern terminology. To encode the same feeling, we use two different terms. But the deeper truth is that we interpret things using neurons. Our optic nerve lights up, lighting up neurons in our heads, which light others. Somewhere along the way self perception kicks in, but usually without self-perception about self-perception (thinking about qualia). Self -perception is the experience of seeing red and realizing you’re seeing red. Unlike background noise, you realize you’re having a specific experience. Having that experience, instead of having an experience which is thinking about having that experience. Like the one I am having right now. This moment I am thinking about how I am writing about this. This experience I am having, the sensation of realizing qualia, is a “sticky experience”. I can come to this specific experience from many experiences. It is a local minima, a sort of rest state. Self-awareness and awareness about qualia are also neuronal xperiences (neurons lighting up in the head), which can come from a lot of different states.
My point is this: before we had the ability to measure waves in the brain, we would describe our brain states with words, simply by having limited number of states we know of to describe. Now that we know a lot more states, we need more bits to store information about these states (representations). A core point I am trying to make is that when we start having experiences by controlling each neuron directly, we will need a lot more than words to encode what those experiences are. But to understand larger number of experiences, we would need bigger brains that store more meta-information about neuronal states (memory).
The treatise on the specificity of language is small: information content of a language is dependent on the number of different states it needs to define to and who it needs to define it to. If there is no information content in a system, it doesn’t need to describe anything. Hence the all-capturing sticky void of nothing is where it resides. Equal to every else. Science is so much about debate. Yes or No to a question. But what happens when Yes and No aren’t enough? When you can’t divide scientists into 2 camps and come up with an answer, because there are many answers and scientists cannot even read all answers. What happens then?
I want to test the effects of communication between equivalent NLP models (agents). My strategy is:
1. Conversations between 2 agents are seeded with different inputs and recorded
2. Conversational data is used for retraining agent is differentiated from client training data with a unique label and different weight. I don't have any specific reasons to do this. I just want to study the importance of communication and simulate the emergence of language. I feel it holds a lot of insight.
Emissions-free oil, made with enzyme engineering. Oil that burns in the same engines, power plants, and factories, without producing CO2. Leverages existing infrastructure of transporting and using oil. 50% silver bullet to climate change, but not a silver bullet for energy sources.
Nuclear plants have much higher energy density.
Conditions for combustion cause a different reaction to occur that releases the same amount of energy but not CO2. A substance that burns like this is a protein that needs to be bioengineered through directed evolution.
Capitalism says every company should try to maximize its profits. Oogonism says some companies should minimize their selling price. If every company strives to make its goods and services cheaper, it will benefit everyone in the long run because we will all collectively be able to buy more. This is scientifically possible with abundant energy. Things get cheaper. Let’s make them cheaper and cheaper till everything is essentially free.
For example, a dyson sphere will exist one day and it will make goods and services cheaper. This will have a cascading effect on many layers of many economics.

Book on ASS
All your data stored in a server appliance in your home. Time-scrambled data released based on wilful consent.
PDB is a device sold as an appliance. It connects to all state machines in a spatial box (physical house). It backs up all data. PDB is linked to every laptop, phone, TV, fridge, autokitchen, alexa, ring, garage door, appliances in a household. PDB stores all kinds of data for each unique individual in the house, in a contaminant-free manner (users can only access and release their data, no central control over all data). It lets out time-scrambled data to services only till they need them (Doordash, Amazon need location only when an order is placed, Instagram needs friends only when you're looking for new ones). Controlled data release based on user preferences, enforcing wilful consent.
A PDB usecase highlighting how other companies can use data from PDB to enrich lives in The Matrix: The Matrix Feed collates some data into a webpage showing what logged in users in The Matrix are doing. Trading on ASS, building worlds in Matrixims, lifecreating, reading Dex, building bots on botnet. Whatever a being does in The Matrix, they can choose to make other people experience the process of doing it, in whatever modality they choose (text, picture, video, hologram, controlled psychedelic experience, VR). Data can be processed to find mates for people, like personal Tinder. Dystopian we know, but why must it be so? You are encouraged to meet people in real life. The Matrix offers a choice to decrease the randomness of the real life experience of finding a mate with statistics. You always have the choice of taking advantage of large-scale statistics to help you choose. It is just another layer (digital kundli). Reiterating choice: you are free to not partake in data-based love search. That is the point of the personal databank. You are free to control what and where you data goes and what happens with it. All your data.
Each personal databank is yours. Owned by you. Truly and completely owned by you. Tear it up, break it apart, re-engineer it entirely. You might get a call of The Matrix if you make it better. The Matrix owns nothing of a databank it has already sold. It provides services so databanks can operate and we incorporate that in our (high) price. But the databank and all data in it are yours. We have no right, no access over it and this has been verified by other people you can trust (Algobank).
If you choose to give us some of your data, we'll incorporate it in different parts of The Matrix (Matrixims, Feed, Lucidna). PDB users are mindkind, can be humans, bots, aliens; all kinds of intelligence are welcome.
A straight line is inherently unequal to the circumference of a circle
There is something in the curvature of a circle that cannot be flattened. This is termed curvature. Pi is irrational because of this curvature. It exists at a fixed point on the number line. We can get arbitrarily close to that point, yet we will never reach it. The number exists in nature but cannot be found. Because the process of finding it means limiting it to an interval (a straight line) and curvature cannot physically be limited to a straight line. This is why pi is irrational. Finity infinity: the duality of uncertainty. The number is finite yet infinite uncertainty exists in its position on the number line. This may be proof that pi is normal (of a specific kind).
Uncertainty is physical.
Might be ostracized for saying this but I believe P=NP. We just need to find better ways to do things. Possibly biology has some clue (non-deterministic probabilistic computing?). Maybe biology is nature’s way of dealing with exponential growth in search space through evolution and natural selection.
I focus on P=NP and quantum gravity far more than I should. I have 0 background in theoretical computer science or theoretical physics. Still, I imagine
I want to empower individuality.

Many many AI models. Gotta characterize emall.
Need a primary key for each AI model. A function of model weights and architecture. Weights + architecture to replicate model. Compressed representation of each model. What is the best compressed representation of a model architecture? DNA. This gene code allows organisms to be created in the physical world. It is mechanism in code. The mechanism is defined by chemistry itself. We need a sort of DNA for programs. Something that can replicate AI models like ChatGPT, Xenobots, GPT-4, Stable Diffusion etc. A document to replicate AI models that we don’t fully interpret and understand but can still replicate. This document is program DNA.
This is just my perspective. Quantum computing is a more efficient paradigm of digital computing, in certain aspects. Practically, it has been shown that using quantum computers inside a digital construct (binary computing) can speedup some traditional algorithms. This finds applications in the Matrix.
A deeper concept I intend to explore is analog quantum computing. Rather using quantum computing in the digital construct of binary computing, I would like to explore the use of entanglement, interference, and superposition to create a different kind of computing, which I term analog quantum computing. This is based on the idea of having n different superpositions interacting in a system but measuring (recording) only a few of them. The few that show periodicity in randomly distributed solution space. It is possibly easier to find periodity if it is inherent in the solution space. I believe this has implications in real-time bot interactions that occur but are not stored. Physical conditions needed to make practical quantum computers are difficult to recreate (temperature ~ 0K).
Photosynthesis is efficient in capturing solar energy, possibly due to quantum effects. This means that quantum effects have tangible effects at room temperature, a fact that is exploited by photosynthesis. I am currently exploring the quantum effects of photosynthesis in the context of quantum computing.
I believe quantum computing will allow us to program reality itself. An application will help you understand this. Imagine that a human being is allotted a 100 cubic metres space of space (reality). I believe using quantum computing we’ll be able to program reality itself in such that another human being cannot physically enter the 100m3 of personal space of the first person without their permission. Entering space without permission would be physically impossible, backed by our laws of physics.
These would be our laws. Things we define for our own spaces. Reality will literally be whatever we want. I hypothesize the end of prisons. If you break the laws of someone’s space, you will be banned from their space by them (self-governance). If you violate laws of common spaces, you will be banned from society. Societies can also exist that only allow people who have been banned from certain societies.
Oh, elusive quantum gravity. You hold within you the secrets of black holes. Oh, the applications of black holes in our lives. Wild. Anyway, I have a few ideas about quantum gravity that I want to explore:
Observe the gravitational waves from 2 spinning neutrons.
Relate non-perturbation theory and renormalization to chaos theory.
I believe (in my very limited competence) Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity assumes that space is infinite. Thus, it can have infinitely small effects. But what if space itself is discrete? What if between 2 lengths (maybe sub-Planck length) there is nothing? That our universe is inherently discrete in nature at the smallest level. Hence, even gravity cannot be calculated at some small level because there is inherent uncertainty because spacetime itself is not continuous but discrete.
I honestly think what I said above will be proved experimentally wrong to prove that the Universe is always weirder than we predict or can predict in our wildest imaginations.
I find entropy everywhere. Quantum mechanics, black holes, biology, and machine learning. Is it key to a theory of everything? We need a theory of everything if we are to teach bots to understand base reality as it is and not a diluted representation with Homo sapiens bias.
ER=EPR will have interesting connotations. So will the holographic principle.
Gravitational lensing as a mathematical construct in which quantum field dynamics exists.
Is self-interaction gravity? Incompleteness in QG due to self-interaction.
Black holes and fractals. Fractals on a surface of a black hole hint at infinite uncertainty in singularity. A fundamental uncertainty that cannot be resolved though we may try. A computational irreducibility. A place in spacetime where infinite complexity processes may occur. Places which may hide universes within them. Black holes, portals to the multiverse.
Let’s be frank. Renters are basically homeless. That is why homeownership is critical. No one has any right to tell another human they don’t have a right to space to exist on. Space to live in is a basic right. Even if you have no right to the land you’re on, you are still on that land. A human being will always occupy some space and that space is their birthright.
There needs to be space for human beings that is basic and a birthright. A home. A place that no one can tell you to leave. This needs to be either a physical place or a digital construct that takes different spatial forms in time.
I would like to encode some semblance of machine sentience in Matrixims. For example, let us say one of Alcor's clients was the world's best neurosurgeon. We replicate them in Matrixims. Using robotic surgical tools, the digital version of the neurosurgeon performs surgeries. Now rather than interpreting that just as a replicable program, we interpret it as a somewhat sentient version of that human, but also a program. I would like for this to occur in Matrixims. Currently alive people can use metawork data (how they do work, what work they produce) to train a bot version of themselves in Matrixims. These programs are, in a sense, versions of those humans themselves, but with UniProGResS they're their own beings as well. I am still undecided what to interpret them as.

In this era of intelligence creating intelligence, safety is paramount. I look to solipsism. AI systems in a simulated world. Cause and effect occurs there. Simulation is indistinguishable from reality for that AI model. Reality fed to an AI model doesn’t need to be base reality we humans cohabitate. No matter how bad AI gets, a switch that toggles between base reality and simulated reality for a robot is a failsafe that cannot fail.
AI model can plan and plan and plan in its head like a daydreamer.
This will one day create a world that's somewhere in between Blade Runner, The Matrix, and Westworld. Because of 'unique' procedurally-generated randomly-sequenced scenarios (UniProGResS), situations occurring in Matrixims will be completely new and randomly-determined, hence it will not be a predictable reality. While this has applications in filmmaking, the deeper concept I'd like to point to is that bots in The Matrix will have non-deterministic behavior (because of self-referential layer).
For the amount of time humans spend scamming each other and the pitiful amount of money, it is a waste of human effort. If you were to ask rich people to donate their wealth to feed scammers, they would gladly do so. Many of them would, as seen in The Giving Pledge.
This is a major foundation for my ‘do good’ philosophy. Rich is a catchall term for people who create outsized value, and thus amass large wealth through capitalism. Capitalism works because things get better. Things get better because of people who create outsized value, who grow rich. Outsized value always happens because our systems get more efficient all the time and we harness more resources over time.
The only update to capitalism that’s needed is the recognition of free distribution of goods and services. Some people are better at making money, some people are better are making art. But both should have access to goods and services. That’s the update I’m proposing.
A state designed for kids. It is time to take big action against gun violence. Total gun ban. Immigration-style checkpoints for domestic migration. Highest paid teachers ever. Significant pay bump to attract the best teachers in a nation. All residents collectively decide to do what is best for kids. No guns at all. Well -funded police. No prisons. No entry for sex offenders.
The world exists in your brain.
Living in a society means we must assume the world exists beyond us, and will exist, even if we don’t. But we can’t prove that. This is solipsism. Whatever the combination of words that maketh the Dex mean to you, whatever it fired in your head, that’s what matters to you. Your perspective is your whole world.
Everything you interpret is interpreted with a layer of self-perspective.
Self Correcting Economic System
Our economic systems frequently require government intervention and correction. But our systems have become so complex that humans forming the government can’t handle it. We need a new form of life, an economic system that is alive (possible from a combination of biocomputing and artificial intelligence). This economic system is self-correcting, like a living organism. It isn’t self-correcting by controlling us. We are prima donnas of life. We deserve to be gods. The system is self-correcting by punishing those who benefit on the virtue of others (banks, hedge funds, i.e. those who feel powerful not from power but from knowing that powerless exist). I fear for the US’ economy. Inflation demands higher salaries, and higher salaries cause inflation. I hope this is not a catch-22 that makes the greatest economy in English history implode.
I don’t know if this will work. But in my 100K plan, at the end of every calendar year, all that’s left of the 100K in each individual’s name will come back into the system. Or evaporate. I think this self-correction will ensure 2 things: money is essentially worthless; there’s no point in hoarding it by paining someone else. Give it away and you’ll see it flows back to you. While what I say sounds poetic, it will be backed by serious math that will look poetic to mathematicians. Then 100K will be redistributed again on New Year. This self-correction rule is my attempt to fix financial inequality. The 100K is not 100K of 2023 (which can barely get you a life in New York City). It is an idea that all that a person can ever want will one day be cheaper than 100K. It is a tangible number with which we can do hyperdeflation.
A movie about my life.
The progression of that movie throughout human society shapes my life in such a way that it follows the movie of my life. Did the movie shape my life?
This portion of my life is “calling out”. I call out to the world to help me in my journey. I write about my journey to communicate to the world and future me.
I hypothesize sexual intercourse, in the physical manner it is done currently done in humans, is a primal test to determine child-carrying capability of a female by a male, while the entire process of “before sex” is the process to determine child-rearing capability of a male by a female. Here I use male and female by their biological meaning, which is to ask the question: in sexual reproduction, who puts in more effort in the production of a single gamete? The explanation above works because a female invests more into the production of a single gamete, and thus needs to know the male will take care of it. Those that survive are the ones that are taken care of. Genetic code MAY determine how romantic or non-romantic (henceforth referred to as “sappy” for conciseness) two partners are, i.e. how much they care for and love each other. The children that survived and had more children who survived and had more children are the ones that took care of their offspring and partner against nature. Sappiness is a solution to the randomness of genetic code that allows for stable reproduction in the environment. This is a major digression.
I want to create a bot that performs all the duties of a housekeeper (along with sexual intercourse if the owner pleases). A traditional wife, for simplicity. Pays the bills. Cooks hot fresh meals. Cleans the house. Humanoid-ish in order to interact with existing systems (kitchen, existing lives etc., a bot like that must have hands in order to use your plunger to unclog the toilet).
Biological sex is a test of robustness for the robot. Can the robot be had vigorous sexual intercourse with? If yes, then it is fit enough to survive cuts and scratches in the real world. This research of mine aims to combine animatronics with the sex toy industry. It uses tech in automata cart and CNS robots to perform the functions of a housekeeper, i.e. interpreting and paying bills (the systems for which will be controlled by other bots that the housekeeper bot can interact with without needing human intervention), ordering groceries, cooking with existing utensils, cleaning the house etc.
Sex is a huge part of these robots. People will buy sex robots even if they don’t perform all the other duties. The ability to do other duties can learnt with over-the-air updates. The tech is going to get adoption simply because it makes lives easier. It is easier to have a housekeeper that you can have sex with. This is why I am researching sex toys right now (don’t picture it ;)
A simulation may influence our reality. As explained in Simulacra and Simulation, there isn’t a distinction between the simulation (map) and the Empire. The map, by virtue of its existence in base reality beyond the Empire, frays and its frays remain in base reality. Base reality may be simulated for an AI model. The behavior of that model influences our base reality through information. This information leak means our base reality is not independent of the simulation. It is hyperreal.
Map apps made us forget directions.
Biotech will open space for all. Wetwood Housinc makes housing for different planets transported with seeds. Mars needs to be terraformed with plants to decrease CO2. It is currently like early Earth.
Bioengines to capture nuclear reactors in small cells, to make modular nuclear reactors cheap. Cheap rockets designed with biomaterials.
ASBL is automated factory to make food, clothes and shelter.
Gene therapy to enhance space resilience. New organs making oxy-hemoglobin without atmospheric air.
Sticky Science and the Creation of Science Without Humans
If there is a subject of science in which the number of humans is decreasing, i.e.there is content that no one knows about, and the amount of that unknown content is increasing (due to human death), then given enough time, there is a high probability of that area of science just simply dying out because no one is left who read its books. Sticky science are subjects in science that are hot right now. Like machine learning. Attracting lots of people in its hallowed halls and etching itself in their memory, and thus in the memory of collective science, for a while longer than the rest.
I would like to create something for science that ensures none of its work is ever forgotten. Even a wrong statement has a wealth of information within it, simply by being an observation that is incorrect. I need to make bots that understand science, if only by capturing papers. Understanding the data (converting it into a useful way) will come soon.

My friend in nanophotonics is trying to make computer chips that work with light. Our current chips work with electricity. I feel that the technology he is building will enable a form of teleportation. A lot of math, physics, chemistry, computer science, and biology needs to be done. But I think it is a worthy pursuit.
I talk of dreams but he knows the science very well . The short-term goal is to show quantum entanglement using photonic chips and he has intriguing ideas, which I will need a few more discussions to understand. But I think a version of teleportation could be possible.
Current teleportation allows transfer of quantum state instantly to another place (the Moon), but the state in the first place (Earth) will have to be destroyed (no-cloning theorem). An error-prone copy of a quantum state can be transferred instantly as well (entanglement error). This error-copy of an entangled state might be like a hologram version of us. (Astral project much?). Hence, I think we won't need to be destroyed, and a hologram version of us could be teleported. We will need biology to link it with qualia, i.e. you must experience being the hologram.
Matrixims is planned to be a testbed to test theories of consciousness. I don't think I can solely define consciousness. It will take the agreement of many many people to define consciousness. Currently, anyone can put a theory of how consciousness works, and it may or may not be correct, but there is no way to test and validate it. One of the goals of the Matrix is to be a platform where theories of consciousness can be cohesively tested. This will take place in the form of opening bot creation to the wider world. Based on their theories of consciousness, they can train bots and test if they’re conscious or not. I don't claim to make the tests either, because I don't have a definition of consciousness. Hence the test may be defined by the tester, as well as the theory they're testing. Ensembles of many theories of consciousness can probably be tested by bots. Maybe consciousness will arise because of bots and humans creating theories of consciousness, prompting the question “did we create consciousness?” OR “did bots with consciousness spontaneously arise due to them formulating theories on consciousness?”.

The Matrix is a system that allows systems. It exists as law that allows societies to be formed. Societies in The Matrix form laws according to their citizens.
There must be some application of Godel’s Incompleteness here, that The Matrix will also allow for. That inconsistency will be permitted to exist with the system of The Matrix (existing as an anomaly). In dialog, this is very similar to what was said in the end of The Matrix 2.
I am so inspired by The Matrix, the film released in 1999 (obviously).
I realized a fascinating concept. In the film, human minds are connected to a simulation. Brains exist in vats and our neurons are fed reality. Neo is someone whose brain signals are such that they can manipulate the program code of the simulated world. Neo is God. There are also other gods, as seen in the scene ‘there is no spoon’. There is no reality, it is just what people in The Matrix make of it.
There is no spoon. It is just a world created by our brain. This is trippy. Its applications are endless. What a beautiful trip it is to know that this reality we live is also something our minds/brains/mindkind generate. Even if there is an objective reality independent of us, and there most likely is, objective reality has no meaning. Even if we continue to exist after we die, objective reality that we see then can still be a reality we hallucinate. Just as it may be now. Just as it is for Neo.
We have one gender (they/them) that encompasses all of humanity. A male, a female, and all that are neither male nor female, can be represented by they/them It unites us. This is beautiful.
Godkind unites us as well. Mankind is so “man”-oriented. But when we’re all gods, there will no longer be the concept of gender, though the gods may partake in the farce if they so please. You know what’s amazing? These gods I refer to are us. You and I :)
If you think of religion, corporations, and empires in the same context of dealing with people, what has survived the longest is religion. This is because at its core, religion is for the collective benefit of followers. There are rules but at their cores, all religions are basically guidelines for humans to act in society. Rules given by game theory scientists wherein if people all act in a certain manner, it will be in everyone’s collective benefit.
Collective benefit lasts because it is just there, with free and equitable access for all: church, Wikipedia.
This is a rough idea in my head. Imagine the world simulated in Matrixims can send stimuli to bots to generate conversations (and later on behavior), between bots and between the bot and itself. Stimuli are based on 2^N states. Using a pseudorandom number generator to label states and picking states randomly without traversing the entire state space allows us to traverse a state space uniquely. Certain subsections of this randomly selected n-bit string are used as stimuli to bots, because bot stimuli input is of lower resolution compared to N. Because of the state space being so large, and impossible to traverse in finite time, essentially indeterministic, we simulate pseudo-infinity. Each bot's behavior is influenced by a random state in this pseudo-infinite space, and bots can interact with each other, which can result in unique scenarios occurring in Matrixims that are effectively unpredictable, and thus completely new.
Practically, I intend to do this with procedural-generation algorithms used in games, or even simplistic algorithms such as the one in Conway's Game of Life (CGoL), a major inspiration. The ability to generate unpredictable complexity in an simple ways is a very important idea in giving life to Matrixims.
This blew my mind. Most big money now is unrealized. It exists on paper. Money becomes real when it purchases something, generally physical though you have digital ads and stuff. But money holds value because it is used to purchase food. And stuff. The value of money that purchases some thing is different from money that exists on paper or digitally, i.e. monopoly money on company sheets. The first kind should be in everyone’s pockets.
Paper money that finance bros and tech bros play around with can exist as fugazi. Nobody cares. The world GDP needs to be at least 800 trillion US dollars, in terms of stuff that we humans need to live happily (food, housing, luxury experiences).
Computational models with biological validation are used as components in an agent. The E. coli Whole-Cell Modeling Project serves as a guide
Hard problem in simulations is distributing memory and processing cycles across each bot (self-contemplation), simulating and recording bot interactions, world complexity, and bot stimuli. Quantum computing (which I personally interpret as a major leap in parallel computing) finds application in interacting agents. Agents use randomly generated stimuli from game world (UniProGResS) to interact with each other in a non-deterministic manner
Volcanoes explode upward
We use that energy to propel spacecraft up
We use volcanoes to relieve Earth's internal stress.
AIS allows humans to eat more and burns excess energy by making an internal organ glow. This is waste of energy and resources. Why eat more than you must?
Because humans are most valuable. We are collectively entitled to the universe and to waste it how we see fit.
We eat molecules that become us. Those molecules then become part of consciousness. Then those molecules get replaced by other molecules in the universe. We seem to be sharing literally ourselves with the universe. And the universe is becoming us and becoming not us all the time, i.e.the stuff we think is us, our human bodies, is actually just a spatial containment in time of molecules. Right now, I think of me and it is the molecules and atoms that make me me at this point in time. But a skin cell drops off my finger as I type this. Somewhere else in my body, a new cell is created from the stuff I just ate. Matter became me and matter became not me. It’s like I am an idea that isn’t based in just molecules. Stuff of the universe becomes us and not us all the time. Well I am stumped. I don’t quite know what to make of this, but it seems monumental.
Have I come to that classical conclusion that we are “one with the universe”?
Biology is life. Life is engineering. Life has found a way, through random exploration of a continuous space by DNA, mutations, and evolution), to harness base reality. Life engineers physical reality to achieve growth and reproduction. Biology hides within it spectacular feats of engineering.
The Power of Biology. Because biology is the study of life, and because life is engineering, biology has endless applications. This is the question my lab ASBL exists to answer.
