Colt 45 Computers

Colt 45 Computers:

DERIVATIVE PHYSICS: Below, I am not suggesting that physical things (such as computer housings) do not exist or have relevance. I am only suggesting that they do not exist or have relevance “in themselves.” That is, their existence is derivative, and their relevance is relative. Even so, how may the existence of some weak relations become stronger (or at least more equal or peaceable, such as for preserving a status quo --- even if only fleetingly)?

PEACEMAKING COMPUTERS: For equalizing relations, may computers become like Colt 45 equalizing peacemakers?

NON-RECURSIVE MEXICAN STAND-OFFS: In hoping to control the behavior of humans, each of whom may be armed with a computer for trying to predict the behavior of all other humans, is each of us reduced to non-recursive, non-solveability of prediction?

ENTERTAINING GOD: Suppose a Designing Holism seeks diversionary entertainment in experiencing differently imagined perspectives for trying to become rid of a “hot potato” (existential angst), by allowing it to be tossed between perspectives operating under noms de plume, “Godot” (aka Gt) and “Godel” (aka Gl), by designing or idealizing a system within which each said perspective is programmed to be afforded mathematical degrees of freedom within a system of bounded parameters.

MORTAL FINITUDE: The bounded parameters are represented by bodies, Gt and Gl, being confined to travel around a circle represented by a dirt path, the interior limit of such circle path being represented as blocked by an impenetrable, 4 sided, square house, the exterior of such path being represented as blocked by an impenetrable moat. Gt and Gl can each accelerate to run from zero up to a same limiting speed; further, the absolute sum of their combined acceleration (or deceleration) can never exceed a prescribed limit, against which each of them has equal power to draw.

SETTING THE CLOCKWORK: Before the system is powered up, Gt and Gl are each stationed on the dirt path, but at opposite corners of the house. The hot potato is like a cruise missile, set to home in on the closest person. A person who receives it begins suffering aging distress, so becomes charged to try to get close enough to another in order to be able to toss the hot potato to him. The hot potato can only be tossed for homing in on another if such other person comes closer than the straight line distance represented by one side of the house.

WINDING UP THE CLOCKWORK: Each time the system power switch is flipped on, the hot potato attaches to Gt, as its starting position. The immediate task for Gl becomes to hide along the path and behind the house in order to avoid Gt. Thus, as Gt and Gl each run in various speeds and directions along the path, Gt seeks to find and come close to Gl, while Gl seeks to avoid Gt. When Gt catches Gl, the motivation for each flips, digitally and instantly.

INTUITION: Thus, Gt and Gl each try to intuit, predict, and react to the speed and direction of the other --- that is, until accumulation of radiation from the hot potato eventually kills off on or the other of them.

BEATING THE CLOCK: During such life and death game, each learns to pray, beg, or plan for devising an Artificially Intelligent Robotic Computer (“AI”), to assist in predicting the behavior of the other. Each is unable to know to perfection or completion the real computing power of the other.

FREE RADICALS: Thus, the game for each is set and determined, but the strategy each may choose to adopt remains uncertain. That is, each has “freedom within the law.”

CALLING A FRIEND: Now, suppose Gt elicits pity from a powerful outsider, who supplies him with a more powerful computer. Gt views a meta-data recording on the computer, which shows a history of success in similar situations. Thus, may Gt reasonably assume he now holds an advantage? Or, will intuition suggest to Gt the possibility that Gl has secretly also acquired his own superior AI (perhaps even hoping or contriving for Gt to relax into “misunderestimating” him)?

PURPOSE: The purpose of each holographic perspective is to serve the Holism as a different perspective. As one or the other of the perspectives ceases to do so, it no longer serves a purpose for the Holism. Each perspective has equal purpose or dignity in respect of resisting any complete explanation of itself. Neither perspective can ever perfectly or completely know, predict, or control the other, while such other perspective remains different.

ADAPTATION: In whatever way each perspective projects its individual integrity, it must adapt towards preserving whatever level of uncertainty is necessary, in order to experience and preserve its separate dignity.

DEMISE: Each form of perspective, being finitely expressed in mathematically sequenced relation, is irradiated, from its very inception, with a “hot potato” risk, which must eventually lead to its demise, in such form.

REASON TO BELIEVE IN SPIRITUAL SPONSOR OF FREE WILL: Each perspective may intuit reason to believe, but cannot know, whether Something about our universal system as a whole is inclined to preserve an uncertain apprehension or appreciation of relative free will — even if our appreciation of such free will relies entirely upon vicarious support from (and empathy in respect of) such Something (aka “God”).
Note: As I play chess with myself, am I not exercising a sort of free will, even though, behind my avatars (or schizophrenia?), I am the same superior reality?

ENTROPY: In respect of higher Mind, Will, or Holistic System, each series of gaming sequences is run through to its entropic limits.

OVERLAPPING COMPARTMENTALIZATION: Higher Mind is able to compartmentalize the perspectives it animates, in order to test, learn from, and vicariously experience psyche entertainment in relation to such variously programmed algorithmic sequences as may be designed for each holographic perspective to confront and react to, in respect of degrees of freedom allowed within system parameter limits.

VICARIOUS THRILLS: Such compartmentalization associates with Higher Mind’s vicarious experience and expression, at various overlapping and intervening levels, of emotion, empathy, and purposefulness.

QUANTUM FUZZ: Even quanta of the finest, irreducible particles are not “physically real in themselves.” Rather, even their reality may be derivative of, or reducible to, mere epiphenomena of interactions among algorithmic computations (quantum fuzz?), being imaged in association with superior, inferior, cooperating, and competing levels of perspectives of a sort of Will-To-Math. Thus, even quantum fuzz may be conceptualized as consisting in tiny algorithmic computations, being expressive of a game, sort of like “hot potato.”

GAIA AS COMPUTING ROLE PLAYER: Physics may reasonably be conceptualized as reducing to nothing more than mathematical operations being idealized among perspectives of Will. Such a notion seems weighted with no greater disadvantages than any other. There may not be a better, more coherent, more consistent, and/or more useful model by which one may communicate not only about science but also about empathetic morality.

PYTHAGORAS: Pythagoras considered that all is math. More finely, perhaps all is algorithmic math in the skilled employ of Will-To-Math.

MORTAL WILL TO IDEALIZE: The existence of physical things is derivative, and their relevance is relative. Our appreciation of them is dependent upon Something Else, which we will never, as mortals, completely understand, but which we may conceptualize and approach in imaginative ways and from varying perspectives, for purposes which are useful to morality and aesthetics (truth and beauty). Imaginative intuition leads our way forward, for shaping our sensations of reality.
