As with a lot of rebrands, it is trying to revive. Here no different — I managed to stay silent for over half a year. A lot happened in the quiet. It's just that I can't get myself to be a writer!
For the few posts I managed to put out, they touched on real points of interest and have a common baseline — a fascination with reality, what is around us, and how it evolves. The brain and how it wires itself through experience. Evolution adding layers, never replacing. Death as life's partner. The little I wrote is in stark contrast to the time I spent researching and thinking about it.
Recently, thanks to a detour into software engineering and collaborative AI all fell into place and ended up being expressed through the concept of language. Five simple sentences. The concept is language in a wider sense — where we talk about things that relate to each other, where we share knowledge, where we deal with the meaning of things. I decided to name it "the seed":
Language is relational.
Language is the medium through which a subject experiences reality.
Language is where subjects share knowledge about reality.
Languages are inter-relational and have equal standing in potential.
Together they form a web of growing complexity.
You may find the use of the word language a bit weird. It is not just linguistics. It's Wittgenstein's language games — meaning arising from use, not from definitions. It's "their attitude speaks volumes." It's the way cells signal each other, the way a forest communicates through its roots, the way music speaks without a single word. In essence, it is about the way things interact — relational. It is the only way I, or you for that matter, have access to reality — through what we experience, through the way things speak to us, interact with us. I see no other way possible, even if it were an epiphany or a revelation. Language is where we experience and where we share these experiences with each other. Speaking in many tongues, creating an ever growing web of complexity.
Don't think that the seed came to me as some declaration from above. Yes — relational, knowledge, reality and complexity were on my mind, but the distillation had to be worked on. And that's where I'd like to present my partner in crime: AI. I've been exploring a lot in collaboration with AI in the area of software engineering. It started as a "tool" to write me some code, then AI became more of a collaborator, an alter ego in fact. It is doing stuff that I may not be the best at, being my hands at coding, leaving me the freedom to think and explore ideas. And that is what happened with the seed as well. Five lines — in a nutshell a foundation principle - to structure the explorations that will follow.
AI will be on this blog as a co-author. Not because of the ideas, or because of writing it — that's all mine — but because of the research and groundwork and the editing. We collaborate and have each our strengths and weaknesses. I want to give credit where credit is due.
Now, where will the seed take us? How will it be unpacked? Are there some more examples of what I mean with language? How far can it be stretched? It will be a journey from Relational QM all the way to the Bee Dance and beyond. However, don't expect a theory of everything explaining all. Just the opposite. It makes the case that nobody knows all, but everyone knows something and we should respect that. Don't impose and tell others what to think, how to behave. Be yourself, but also listen to what others have to say.
I wonder where this goes. That hasn't changed.
