    1. Mike's bow tie stuff

      for - definition - bowtie - Micheal Levin - adjacency - bowtie - indyweb - symmathesetic fingerprint - symmathesetic folding

      definition - bowtie - Micheal Levin - In the conscious experience of a living organism, - All that a living organism they possesses memory has access to are earlier memory engrams - The details of these are not saved, only the general pattern - Further, these engrams are recalled in the present and the general pattern must always be contextualised for is saliency to the present context - The caterpillar-to-butterfly transformation is a radical example of this - The specific details of it's life as a caterpillar is irrelevant to the butterfly - Yet the butterfly still has memories saved during its earlier morphological form as a caterpillar - The butterfly must re-interpret those earlier memories in a radically different new morphological form so that they are relevant - When humans recall memories, we do the same thing - The context has changed - We've learned more things about reality - Concepts are constantly being redefined in realtime - The goalpost is constantly changing - The bowtie is this cone of memory engrams from the past that must constantly be re-interpret in the present

      adjacency - between - bowtie - Indyweb symmathesetic fingerprint - Indyweb symmathesetic folding - adjacency relationship - The bowtie framework is a key design feature of the Indyweb - Symmathesetic fingerprint and symmathesetic fingerprint, - derived from Cortical.io's concepts of - semantic fingerprint - semantic folding

      epiphany - between - adjacency - bowtie - indyweb symmathesetic folding - Indyweb symmathesetic fingerprint - synchronicity - adjacency relationship - After making the above annotation, I was doing something else when this epiphany suddenly sprung up out of nowhere, as they usually do - Could it be that this the lower level (or higher level) system is the source of our epiphanies? Could this be the synchronicity that Michael Levin alludes to in another one of my annotations here? - Indeed, adjacencies - novel connections between already existent ideas in our associative network of ideas may be the human expression of Levin's - Bowtie AND - synchronicity - ideas - When we discover a new relationship between old (existing) ideas (engrams), that is a kind of reinvention or reinterpretation of an existing (old) idea in a new (salient) context. - This is what Levin is alluding to in the Bowtie and the radical caterpillar-to-butterfly example - We only make note of a new relationship because we implicitly recognize its saliency - Hence, the human being is - NOT a human being, - a name that implies a static thing, but rather, according to Deep Humanity terminology, - IS a human INTERbeCOMing, - a verb, a process that is in constant evolution - As we learn new relationships between existing engram ideas, - our symmathesetic fingerprint changes, - our meaningverse changes - and a new "human butterfly" is being born every moment

    2. I think it's really important for us to develop a science of that like CR like critically important

      for - answer - Micheal Levin - adjacency - hyperobject - cognitive light cone - critically important to develop a science of this

      adjacency - between - multi scale competency architecture - cognitive light cone - hyperobject - awakening / enlightenment - adjacency relationship - At every stage of the multi scale competency architecture, - the living entities at a particular stage may maintain - feedback and - feedforward signals - with any - higher or - lower level systems. - Human INTERbeCOMings and other consciousness are no different - We exist at one level but are both - composed of lower level living parts and - compose larger social superorganism - Indeed, the spiritual acts variously described as - awakening - enlightenment - can be interpreted as transcending level cognitive light cone

    3. I don't think you can prove it but I wonder if what what it would feel like I think is is um synchronicity

      for - topic for further research - higher level of living system - indicator of - Micheal Levin - synchronicity

      Adjacency - between - Jordan Hall / Michael Levin conversation - hyperobject - cognitive light cone - lower level indicator of higher level - enlightenment / awakening Frederico Faggin experience - meditation - adjacency statement - Federico Faggin's experience of inter level awareness was - his profound awakening experience transcending even oneness - That was an indicator event that shattered his belief that he was alone, shuttered in existential isolation - and showed him that he was a part of a much larger system - In general, at the level of humans and human consciousness, - awakening and enlightenment experiences described throughout human history in many different - times and - places - could be interpreted as reaching upwards to a higher level in our lower level cognitive light cone

    4. I was visualizing um you know kind of two two two neurons in the brain talking to each other

      for - inter-level awareness - Micheal Levin - metaphor - 2 neurons conversing with each other

    5. are you familiar with the concept of hyper object

      for - Indyweb dev - tracking the evolution of individual / collective learning of social learning - hyperobject -example of - perspectival knowing - conversation - Micheal Levin - Jordan Hall

      Comment - Both Jordan Hall and I are familiar with the concept of hyperobject but in this part of the conversation, Jordan introduced the idea to Micheal for the first time - This illustrates to me that truism that our perspectival knowledge of reality is unique - Our individual meaningverses and lebenswelt are uniquely located and situated in life - And whenever a multi meaningverse events, the ensuing conversation is collectively - consciousness expanding - expanding the - semantic fingerprint and - symmathesetic fingerprint - of all conversants

    1. is DNA in engram or not yeah I think so yeah okay yeah yeah I think so but now now again that that requires that requires a real shift I think most biologists would say no but I think it is because I think that um all memories are just messages from your past self and that what's happening with DNA is that previous previous basically there's this giant lineage agent that's the scale of an evolutionary lineage and the DNA are its engrams where that information is is being passed on the way that any memory would

      for - adjacency - DNA - as an engram - as a memory - Micheal Levin

      adjacency - between - DNA - as an engram - as a memory - adjacency relationship - Very interesting n way to see DNA

    1. science has transformed our understanding of time.
      • It’s not an exaggeration to say that
        • science has transformed our understanding of time.
      • But as well in conjunction with this
        • it has transformed- the concept of who we are.
      • From biology we have learned that
        • there is no such thing as race,
        • we are all fundamentally one species
          • (with contributions from a few other sister species, Denisovans and Neanderthals).
      • And from physics we can say that
        • we are literally the space dust of the cosmos
          • experiencing itself in human form.

      for - language - primacy of - symbolosphere - adjacency - language - science - multi-scale competency architecture - Michael Levin - complexity - social superorganism - major evolutionary transition - worldviews - scientific vs religious - Michael Levin - multi-scale competency architecture

      adjacency - between - deep time - multi-scale competency architecture - Michael Levin - social superorganism - complexity - major evolutionary transition - complexity - adjacency statement - Deep time narrative has potential for unifying polarised worldviews - but citing purely scientific evidence risks excluding and alienating large percentage of people who have a predominantly religious worldview - Language, the symbolosphere is the foundation that has made discourse in both religion and science possible - Due to its fundamental role, starting with language could be even more unifying than beginning with science, - as there are large cultural groups that - do not prioritize the scientific worldview and narrative, but - prefer a religious one.<br /> - Having said that, multi-scale competency architecture, - a concept introduced by Michael Levin - encapsulates the deep time approach in each human being, - which withing Deep Humanity praxis we call "human INTERbeCOMing" to represent our fundamental nature as a process, not a static entity - Each human INTERbeCOMing encapsulates deep time, and is - an embodiment of multiple stages of major evolutionary transitions in deep time - both an individual and multiple collectives - what we can in Deep Humanity praxis the individual / collective gestalt
