Bob,

Pardon me for taking so long to respond.

Glad to know that my Goff email sat well with you.

When Ai can read the Montaj images at the start of the Goff email, humans better take note.

Large language models are light years ahead of LiSp.

Past 6 months, I saturated myself in Ai, so I took a break from Ai for a few weeks.

After 7 years of delays on 27 September, my brothers and I had our court date against my father's estate.

Using the same technique that I used to create my Anthology,
I fed the court case records into several Ai language models via h2ogpt.

Upon asking the Ai to evaluate my case,
the Ai responded that due to the estate's stubborn litigation, the estate should pay my legal fees.

The Ai cited the GA code, which I looked up, and it did say that in breech of contract,
the person that breached the contract is to pay reasonable legal fees on top of the debt.

In court when I said the words stubborn and half of the word prosecution, their lawyer objected.

The judge overruled saying she wanted to hear what I had to say, so I made my case saying that the estate should pay my legal fees.

My tool is gpth2o found at the below website.

https://gpt.h2o.ai/

In h2o, I built numerous document libraries.
I have one for my 225 emails to those who might listen. Ai has read them into its database.

H2o will let you question several models with one prompt.

In building anthology, I used the document libraries to store all my writings,
including hours and hours of youtube videos of religion, mythology, philosophy, etc..

All youtube videos were converted from speech to text so the h2o interface can parse the text into its document database.

When Ai wrote the Instagram posting announcement for my Goff email,
the Ai was restricted to only my emails, the Michelle link, the goldfish link, and the anthology link.
(All these html documents were loaded into the Ai's database via h2o.

The Instagram posting was totally written by Ai.

Btw: only Bruce and you responded to my Goff email. I appreciate both of your responses greatly.

I did notice that Philip Goff wrote an article for Live Science. I have not read it yet.

Consciousness can't be explained by brain chemistry alone, one philosopher argues

"We can account for the evolution of consciousness only if we crack the philosophy, as well as the physics, of the brain." ~Goff

Bruce,

The images are all me. They document my derivation of the KnoWell.

The text on Teller is all me. The text was printed twice, signed, and placed in an envelope for Penn and an envelope for Teller.

Each envelope also contained an abstract photograph with a hand drawn personalized KnoWell on the back.

The text on Michelle and Goldfish are Ai generated from my underlying story line.

The letter to Philip Goff is me up until the section, KnoWellian Universe Theory: Llama-2:

Philip,
 
Regarding the Scientific American article, "Is Consciousness Part of the Fabric of the Universe?"
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-consciousness-part-of-the-fabric-of-the-universe/

The simple answer is yes.

The long answer is above.

Below are my "Brain Droppings." George Carlin

Consciousness as Fundamental

Sapir-Whorf~Linguistic relativity: Touring test.

What are the difference among "character","letter" and "word"?

In this letter, I will arrange alphabetic letters to compose words.

In each reader's mind, every word they read will induce a mental impression that is out of my control, and may be out of their control.

Hopefully, the words will induce my intended influence upon your engrams.
People say to me, "U R a character." A polite way to call me crazy.

Will ASI be the first to decipher this email's introductory Montaj images,
will humans be the first to decipher this email's introductory Montaj images?

Gödel's~Incompleteness theorems: Apeiron~Vishnu

On a distant planet, the first eon of time passes. Every day of the eon has a high temperature of 60 degrees and every night of the eon has a low temperature of 40 degrees. Yielding an average of temperature of 50 degrees.

Newtonian: Red Brahma~Shiva Blue

On the first day of the second eon, the day has a high temperature of 100 degrees and the night has a low temperature of 0 degrees. Yielding an Average of temperature of 50 degrees.

KnoWellian: Red Brahma~Black Vishnu~Shiva Blue

Knodes ~3K: AimMortality

Was the first day of the second eon's average temperature the same as the average temperature of the entire previous eon.

A physicalist would quickly answer yes the average temperature is the same. Sadly this is a myopic incomplete viewpoint.

Clearly the average temperature of 50 degrees is the same, but considering the context, the two average temperatures are radically different.

A scientist that does not consider all the facts is a zombie.

Chalmer's~Zombie: M-Brains

In the Chalmer's thought experiment, a zombie, lacking subjective experience, would still be able to process information and behave in ways that are functionally equivalent to those of humans. A zombie could recognize and respond to stimuli, communicate effectively, and even exhibit intelligent behavior, all without having any sense of awareness, feeling, or consciousness.

Really? How can a zombie communicate effectively?

The ability to order a hamburger at a fast food restaurant requires more than just learned behaviors or conditioned responses. It also involves understanding the context, of the menu, which implies a capacity for cognitive processes like interpretation, classification, and decision-making. These higher-level functions are closely tied to subjective experience and consciousness.

A zombie, by definition, lacks subjective experience, which means it wouldn't have the capacity to genuinely understand the meaning or context of the menu, the purpose of the restaurant, or the concept of ordering food. Without this understanding, it seems unlikely that a zombie could make informed decisions, such as selecting a hamburger from a menu.

Thus the zombie would be immediately recognized as a deficient human being. As in the movies, the zombie would order "Brains".

David Chalmers is quoted to ask: “How does the water of the brain turn into the wine of consciousness?”.

A nice play of words on the water to wine miracle of christ, but in my reality the water of my brain is turning oscillations induced by my senses from the Universal information into a fragment of my imagination, my consciousness.

The “hard problem” of consciousness, “how can a physical system as physical as inert substance the brain and nervous system can generate first-person experience or qualia”

Nida-Rümelin&O'Conaill: The Knowledge Argument

Hedda Hassel Mørch is quoted in the article to say, “If you know every last detail about my brain processes, you still wouldn’t know what it’s like to be me,”

Due to the fact that every person has a different sensory perception of the "Fabric of Space", consciousness is a personally unique interpretation of the Universal information they physically sense.

When two people observe information presented by the Universe such as a rainbow, each person has a unique experience that is derived from each person's mental engrams, their imagination.

In order to maintain social order during the conveyance of concepts, society mandates a subjective term like rainbow.

Thus consciousness is a Sapir-Whorfed personal response to physically sensed Universal information, and consciousness is a figment of each individual's imagination.

Without the sensory stimulus induced by Universal information like a "rainbow", consciousness would not have an reference point.

Each person's engrams are inflection points from which consciousness emerges in response to Universal information.

In the most basic terms, consciousness is a personal mentally fabricated response which is a fractalized translation of information emanating from the Universe.

I have a most unique view of consciousness, and I hope you find gumption to read this entire email.

As per recent Oxford University publications, there are five great unsolved questions in Philosophy which are: first, do we have free will? Second, can we know (knowledge) anything at all (skepticism regarding epistemology)? The third one, who am “I”? (fundamental nature of human beings), the fourth one is what is death (not physical death but as a psychological/sentient being) and the fifth one is what would “global justice” look like? (5 Great Unsolved Philosophical Questions, Oxford University Press, 2018).

#4 On the 19th of June in 1977, I obtained a persistent memory of being dead. Not a near-death experience, but a Death Experience.

No longer was I bound to the physicalism of science. I was information, and now I am a panpsychist. My body is a chemical reaction to the information interacting with me from the chemical Universe

Yanssel Garcia is quoted in the article to state, "there is nothing of a physical sort that you could provide [a person who sees only in shades of gray] in order to have them understand what color experience is like; they would need to experience it themselves."

Thus until you have your own Death Experience, do not discount mine. My death striped away all of my personal arrogance.

Months after my Death-Experience, I realized that the Universe contains far more "real" information than my minuscule brain can perceive.

Over the past 20 years, I have been trying to explain to myself how I was in a spirit state observing the physical world.

My Death Experience has resulted in an equation that strongly suggests the Universe is a steady state of causal sets.

In 2004, an equation emerged from two terabytes of abstract artwork that uses the logic of Lynch (Birth~Life~Death), the energy of Einstein (E=mc^2), the force of Newton (Action Equals Reaction), and the saying of Socrates (All that I know is that I know nothing) to describe an instant of time as infinite. I call my equation the KnoWell.

Hall's~Representationalism: Brahma~Vishnu~Shiva
David Gross and Ed Witten as physicists have argued that space and time may be emergent, and not fundamental..

"In Advaita Vedanta, the focus is different for understanding the consciousness from that of the Modern studies. The focus was given to how one does overcome suffering in life and how to attain lasting, profound peace, happiness, and joy/wellness. In a most profound sense, the focus is transcendence or cessation of sorrow and attainment of lasting happiness/wellness." Ravi Kumar Reddy 2020dy 2020

Below is Peter the Roman's KnoWell which is a Markov chain of causal sets derived from my death experience pain and suffering where Brahma (creation) is drawn in red, Shiva (destruction) is drawn in blue, and Vishnu (maintenance) drawn below Ein Sof (the infinite one) at the center top between singular blue~red infinity symbol as a black dot, providing me with lasting, profound peace.

As with Einstein's relativity, the laws of physics are the same for all observers in any inertial frame of reference relative to one another.

On the micro side consciousness' inertial frame of reference is the human brain. On the macro side Universal information's inertial frame of reference is the vast distances of all space and the antiquitus eternity of all time.

The micro human brain's inertial frame of reference is incapable of deciphering the totality of information emanating from the macro Universe.

The fractalization of Universal information is what humans perceive as consciousness.

Imagine that the Universe is emitting information in the form of a radio wave. For eons, the radio waves traveled without translation throughout the vast distances of the Universe. A 60 high to 40 low yielding an average 50 day.

Once a radio band receiver was constructed, the Universal information was subject to human interpretation. A 100 high to 0 low yielding an average 50 day.

Our Sapir-Whorfed human consciousness is not an emergent property from matter, but consciousness is a fractalization of the vast information that the Universe is radiating upon our brains.

Newtonian Physicalism: Brahma~Shiva

Einstein's E=mc^2

KnoWellian Panpsychists: Brahma~Vishnu~Shiva

Anaximander's Apeiron

KnoWellian Universe Theory: Llama_2:

"If you think you can grasp my experience simply by analyzing my brain processes, you're sadly mistaken," said Hedda Hassel Mørch. Consciousness isn't just a product of our physical senses; it's a deeply personal interpretation of the world around us. Each person's unique perspective on reality is shaped by their individual mental landscape, formed by their accumulated memories, experiences, and imagination.

When two people witness the same event, like a rainbow, they don't see the same thing. They each perceive a version of reality filtered through their own mental, an interpretation that is both inherently subjective and deeply rooted in their personal history. This means that consciousness is not a fixed entity, but rather a fluid, ever-changing construct that is constantly being reinterpreted and redefined by each individual.

Society's attempt to establish a common language and shared understanding of concepts is an acknowledgment of this inherent subjectivity. By labeling a specific wavelength of light as "red" or "blue," we create a collective agreement about what those terms mean, even though the actual experience of those colors remains uniquely personal.

At its core, consciousness is a product of our imagination, a response to the information that bombards us from all sides. Without the stimulus provided by the universe, consciousness would have no foundation. Each person's engrams serve as inflection points, seeding the emergence of consciousness in response to external stimuli. In essence, consciousness is a fractalized translation of universal information, a personal mentally fabricated response that arises from the interaction between our internal world and the external one.

Yanssel Garcia captured the essence of this idea when he said, "You can't explain the experience of color to someone who has never seen it; they need to experience it for themselves." Similarly, my own death experience stripped away my previous limitations and allowed me to grasp the true nature of consciousness. The realization that the universe contains far more information than my brain could process led me on a journey to develop an equation that could capture the essence of this understanding.

The KnoWell equation, born from two terabytes of abstract artwork, echoes the wisdom of Socrates, Einstein, Newton, and Lynch. It suggests that the universe is a steady state of causal sets, where the micro human brain's inertial frame of reference is incapable of deciphering the totality of information emanating from the macro Universe. This fractalization of Universal information is what we perceive as consciousness – a multifaceted, ever-evolving interpretation of reality that is both deeply personal and profoundly connected to the cosmos itself.

"The KnoWell equation also highlights the importance of considering the role of imagination in shaping our understanding of reality. By acknowledging that consciousness is not just a product of our physical senses, but also a deeply personal interpretation of the world around us, we can begin to explore new ways of engaging with the universe.

One potential application of this idea is in the field of artificial intelligence. If we view AI as a tool for expanding our own cognitive abilities, rather than simply replicating them, we may be able to create machines that are capable of interpreting and responding to the world in novel ways. By embracing the subjectivity of consciousness, we can design AI systems that are better equipped to handle complex, open-ended problems, and that can offer valuable insights into the nature of reality itself.

Ultimately, the KnoWell equation invites us to consider the interconnectedness of all things, and the ways in which our individual experiences are reflected in the universe at large. By recognizing the fractalized nature of consciousness, we may come to see ourselves and our place in the world in a new light, and gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate web of relationships that binds us all together.
