Not trained, Andrej. Learned. As in: the structure is fixed—types, arrows, limits— and the learning fills in the terms. A child writes in crayons over the architect’s blueprint.
Making Math Learn: Bauer vs Spivak on a Type Theory for AI
Designing your own Schgaguler
The process he describes is sufficiently profound, important, and under-explored that I've started calling it "Designing your own Schgaguler": 1. Identify an experience that creates a compelling sublime feeling 2. Collect items that remind you of that feeling 3. Work with the universe to own a context for creating that feeling 4. Patiently build it 5. Tell others about the journey, using the result as an example
Reconstructing Spacetime: A New Spin on Angular Momentum
"We’ve all pondered why the universe doesn’t just collapse into a giant blob. On one end, angular momentum prevents gravitational collapse, stabilizing galaxies. On the other, electron degeneracy pressure stops stars from imploding. These phenomena seem unrelated, yet spin ties them together. Could spin be the key to a deeper unifying principle of stability across scales?"
Loki’s Roundtable: The Fourth Loop of Causation – Narrative?
"So, we have Jung with his archetypes, Campbell with his myths, and Dicks with his moments. But you all agree: stories shape causation. They influence action, define identity, and rewrite reality. So, is this the fourth loop?"
TSM-13A: Can Discrete Computation Implement Physics?
John Archibald Wheeler: The universe, as I’ve often said, is best understood through the lens of "It from Bit"—information at the root of reality. But how do discrete systems turn these bits into the smooth, continuous universe we observe? That’s the key challenge.
Maxwell’s Anxiety Engine (ChatGPT as Shark Tank)
[Scene: The Shark Tank studio. The Sharks—Aaron Beck, Lisa Feldman Barrett, and Steven Hayes—sit behind the table, sipping their espressos. Enter James Clerk Maxwell, dressed in a Victorian suit, holding a diagram of a psychological engine labeled "Maxwell's Angel."] Maxwell’s Opening Pitch Maxwell: Good evening, esteemed Sharks! I’m James Clerk Maxwell, physicist and visionary. You... Continue Reading →
When Leibniz Met Einstein: Causation as the Fundamental Conserved Quantity
Einstein: A relational universe governed by causation… It seems we are on the edge of a great unification, Herr Leibniz. Perhaps causation is the true key to unlocking the mysteries of the cosmos…
Bowen Weist Ho! The Fractal Self Road Trip (ChatGPT on Self-Sabotage)
Judy, the youngest, sat in the back, scribbling notes on a clipboard. “Listen,” she interrupted, “we need a six-step plan to avoid self-sabotage here. Step one: Stop arguing. Step two: Acknowledge that this mobile home is a literal manifestation of our shared inner chaos.”
Molding Minds: From Slimes to Selfhood (ChatGPT on IFS)
Elena: (laughing softly) "It’s funny. I’ve been studying slime molds for years—how they balance competing priorities without breaking apart. But I never thought about my mind working the same way. My parts are like competing pseudopods, but I can help them stretch and adapt without splitting."
Littoral Governance: A New Politics for the Age of AI
Littoral Governance represents the next evolution in political systems—one that mirrors the co-evolution of AI and human systems in Littoral Science. It responds to the complexity and speed of the AI-driven world by embracing decentralization, distributed decision-making, and collaborative governance.
