Actions are motivated by fear, pain, pleasure, change of current state to better one (darwinian delusion of satisfying Forever is Common) They are fight flight freeze responces We are stack of learned or biologically hardwired thermostats. Meditation makes transparent processes that construct our reality opaque, letting us replace the deepest priors about reality (Shamil) What we see is what we expect to see and we focus on prediction error (Shamil) We see change (Josha) Jhanas Predictive processing model of our experience, Andres 4 dimensions Models Generál theory of x (restructure concrete things in concrete models?) Generál theory of estatic ideas "One true human being" as a mental model so abstract, so low constrain/structure/information which generates all models, a mental representation with the highest amount of internal symmetries general theory of dmt entities standard background noise of self stabilizing software agents that normally parasitize on organismic information processing networks but get amplified when you blow yourself out of your brain Middle waying and scientific models of brain destroys all dogmas by liberating all mental constructions from absolute certainity Uninstalling irritation and fear conditionings in head by learning to see perfectness in every moment. Things happen and Will Always happen. When there are conditionings, bad things codependently arise with good things. Meaning crisis, environments a activating fundamental priors to live through meaning Meaning crisis is valence, interconnection, experiental intensity, flow, internal and external value alignment, feeling values directly, crisis. Lubricating fundamental priors such as reminder of ontology and values and activating them by action directly feels meaningful because it creates very symmetrical dynamics. We flourish in spaces driven by our values, not instrumental goals or preferences. Meaning is a process, such as creative exploration or deep fundamental work. Advanced meditation nicely kind of optionally sidesteps this by creating unconditioned always active nondual fundamental prior that loves all experience. Politics should speak more from values instead of instrumental goals and preferences for creating more unity, less polarization, of population. Foresight by Free energy principle We are trying to give others what we didint have Social media should maximize, satisfy our values (meaning) more rather than engagement and hijacking our attentional reward mechanisms in maladaptive ways. Ideology philosophy religion as axiomatic (fundamentalist) metavectors fueling (parasiting) all experience, ultimate uncertainity entropy reduction, generating flow in one single direction. Destabilizing them (structures of ego in general) by measuring conflicting data hurts and defence mechanisms arise. Enough dose of conflicting data pressure might penetrates the statistical hull of the stable belief or world view structure and phase change to a different configuration of system of beliefs might happen. Gods and DMT entities as higher order metaprocess, usually outside of self model's agency, editable indirectly (god of compassion) the standard background noise of self stabilizing software agents that normally parasitize on organismic information processing networks but get amplified Meditation as experience metapropramming Tool in general Biological systems resist entropy by eating negentropy from food and senses What is the core cause of the meaning crisis? I suggest its lack of unity. Meaning is... When do we feel unified? Aligned values. Evolution sidesteps the costingnees of calculatijg bayes theorem by creating internal representation of the self and world (what we mostly experience) and adjusting it according to differentces between sensory data and predicted sensory data. We're never actually predicting the world per se, we're predicting our ability to interact with the world in optionally gripping fashion using what we've learned. The only thing we can be sure about is how predictive our mental or mathematical models are in their domain. And some of those mental models in certain mental frameworks are more pleasant to inhabit or are generating more motivation and sense of meaning, or include more positive biases, unconditional love, or cognitive traps, than others. God=reality There's fast euphoria (stimulants, joyful concetration meditation), slow euphoria (opioids, relaxing meditation), and spiritual/philosophical euphoria (psychedelics, meeting god, oneness, being aligned with meaning) You can get into a state where nothing has to be done anymore because everything is, was, and will always be perfect by training to be satisfied with the present moment on meditation Biology includes hardwired selective confirmation bias as a way to navigate error gradients, so under symmetry theory of valence it makes sense to navigate your selection bias towards symmetrical representations, which itself is a bias. 😄 Synthesis of maximizing predictivity and maximizing valence seems to be the best in my position from what I've gathered. Someone who doesn't care about science and not wanting to spread information with less predictibility power can go for just wellbeing. There's danger that one gets stuck in something symbolic there though as one doesn't have the scientific metalens from my perspective. In a way we all go towards wellbeing using what we already have in our heads. My wanting to help attractor is too strong, I sometimes think if I wanna free myself from it, but it always responds with no since its so strong lol. Leo is very deep in I'm a God stage of enlightenement in this lens. God, or ontology and morals in general, as this ultimate abstraction on the highest level that controls everything else in the lower levels in some ways, and top down processing! You merge with god/nature/reality on meditation or psychedelics when those kinds of hiearchies dissolve into hiearchyless attractor where everything influences and synchronizes with everything! Nondual unified oneness! Higher abstractions bending the spacetime of lower abstractions! gods are metaphors for nonsymbolic aka intuitionbased aka Fristonian free energetic force or attractors in the neurophenomenological statespace If we do factor analysis on practices and beliefs in religions, you see common themes among practices which's purpose is to for example raise the energy parameter in the brain (from Neural Annealing), or create ontologic, moral, social structure coherent whole gestalts, reduce unknowns through deterministic linear models, satisfying basic needs such as belonging through synchronized community activities or installing a selfsynchronizing superselfmetaprogramming agent metaprocess (God for example) to as much individuals as possible from which emerge the deterministic world models, metaattractor metaprocess dissolving, unifying, integrating all other information, processes, attractors. One can find many generalised attractors and limit cycles there IMO. This isnt just restricted to religions, but ideologies or social structures, belief systems, community or individual mental models, in general. Truth in this notion is something that makes our pattern matching neural classifiers positive valence energy sinks as satisfied as possible, what we trained ourselves on, what software we or the environment installed in us, what we annealed to. I like John Vervaeke's types of truth model. Andres responce to rationalism Guy blog post unity I also think this can be framed by nonlinear wave computing, where smaller waves (more concrete elements) interlock and create bigger waves (bigger stories, more abstractions). Andres' similar notes from [On Rhythms of the Brain: Jhanas, Local Field Potentials, and Electromagnetic Theories of Consciousness | Qualia Computing](https://qualiacomputing.com/2022/10/27/on-rhythms-of-the-brain-jhanas-local-field-potentials-and-electromagnetic-theories-of-consciousness/) "Merging with God as a kind of global coherence: > Andres suggests all of this is a good match for oscillatory coupling between brain regions. Perhaps add something akin to “which according to him ‘dissolves internal boundaries'” > Andres thinks this is part of what’s behind “spiritual” or “mystical” experiences, where you suddenly feel like you’ve lost the boundaries of yourself and are at one with God and Nature and Everything. My strongest phenomenological evidence here is the difference between DMT and 5-MeO-DMT (video): competing clusters of coherence feel like “a lot of entities in an ecosystem of patterns” whereas global coherence feels like “union with God, Everything, and Everyone”. Hence the terms “spirit molecule” for DMT and “God molecule” for 5-MeO-DMT. The effect size of this difference is extremely large and reliable. I’ve yet to find someone who has experience with both substances who doesn’t immediately agree with this characterization. [This can be empirically tested] by blinding whether one takes DMT or 5-MeO-DMT and then reporting on the valence characteristics, “competing vs. global” coherence characteristics, and on whether one gets a patchwork of entities or one feels like one is merging with the universe. With classic psychedelics, which stand somewhere between DMT and 5-MeO-DMT in their level of global coherence, you always go through an annealing process before finally “snapping” into global coherence and “becoming one with God”. That coherence is the signature of these mystical experiences becomes rather self-evident once you pay attention to annealing signatures (i.e. noticing how incompatible metronomes slowly start synchronizing and forming larger and larger structures until one megastructure swallows it all and dissolves the self-other boundary in the process of doing so)." Mental divergences are disorders if it doesn't help fullfill values and doesn't support hedonium Valence as attraction, as feeling home, fullfilled desires, ultimate symmetry Consonance is coordination Antidepresiva groundless ground phenomenology (co jsem napsal do hippies meditace) Meaning crisis co jsem napsal do fit politics AGI alignment by data science of emotions and space of possible meanings by language model, put it into existing AGI language models, put it inside biology inspired AGI by using the maths of neuroscience of values as fundamental priors Values as fundamental priors and process niches that the nervous system experiences biggest amount of flow in (influenced by both nature and nurture) To make dopaminogenic activities generate pleasantness in the long term, it has to be in a meaningful context Identity shift to groundless ground is very useful as it minimizes fear or not feeling home when dissolving the generative model's evolutionary useful structures I suspect this "center of awareness jumping out of your head/neck/heart/gut into vast space" is very efficient way of literally making your brain activitiy jump out of your default mode network (resulting in quieting your thinking mind) into the central executive network making you more able to dissolve contractions (symmetrify asymetries) (decontruct generative model's evolutionary useful structures) from this point of nondual centerless awareness DMT entity alignment: Reducing asymmetries (do nothing + love and kindness + deconstruction of all sensations meditation), making the chances of "beautifully consonant nondual DMT 5-MeO-DMTlike unity God of emptiness interconnecting entity" emerging, or entities being more harmonious together, higher defining emptiness Noise signature can be mood or active assumptions (priors) you have about sensory data (mental framework you're inhabiting) (resonant wave modes) and gestalt is whole representations of things generated from raw sensory data (solitons, Markov blankets) explain memories of past lives "I think it is useful to make a fundamental distinction at this point—that we can appeal to later. The distinction is between a state and process theory; i.e., the difference between a normative principle that things may or may not conform to, and a process theory or hypothesis about how that principle is realized. Under this distinction, the free energy principle stands in stark distinction to things like predictive coding and the Bayesian brain hypothesis. This is because the free energy principle is what it is—a principle. Like Hamilton’s Principle of Stationary Action, it cannot be falsified. It cannot be disproven. In fact, there’s not much you can do with it, unless you ask whether measurable systems conform to the principle. On the other hand, hypotheses that the brain performs some form of Bayesian inference or predictive coding are what they are—hypotheses. These hypotheses may or may not be supported by empirical evidence." -Friston I'm cultivating the list of this kind of empirical evidence, here's a start: https://discord.com/channels/991774141025886218/992217802503098409/1078012729698308198 one thing addable to the video is that its like applying the principle of least action to markov blankets (quoting Friston) one practical function of this principle is also having a general language for all those seemingly different things, which is efficient for reducing the cost of computation when reasoning about complex systems across scales and domains category theory serves this function too bayesian brain and meditation slides QRI vibe theory slides explain annealing first in models and then just refer to it elsewhere deconstructive meditation is unthicking, untagling Free energy principle is great general framework for finding deep symmetries across different natural science fields. Category theory in pure mathematics serves the same function. Middle waying as much conflicting (not only) internal priorities as possible resolves a lot of internal dissonance (expands a lot of contractions) what i wrote in SED discord metta Ai alignment and other stuff that Andres said evil DMT entity as just impermanent dissonant waves, stress that gets dissipated with enough Zen monk level equaminity creating botthisava AGI > paperclip AGI in same finetuning ways how a person can become botthisava pure undifferentiated non dual consciousness as making every structure in our experience ambiguous (superposition) until there is only ambiguity including if cosciousness is present or not, which can be used to restart the entire generative world model "what you resist persists" as dissonance reinforcement Generál problém of alignment with transposing of solutions by symmetries: DMT entity value alignment, AGI value alignment, internal values alignment, external values alignment (people, groups, societies, states,...) The less stuff you're trying to manage the happier you are Seeing any subagent or contraction in general in experience in any moment as just stress to be dissipated is powerful awareness field is a toddler playground what are the most peak valence vibes that can be designed anything that feels light, innocent, in the moment, infinite, loving, playful, curious, full of inifnite possibilities toddlerification is close "What is experience made of" section (add Andres' subagents) Viscosity as suffering Co jsem napsal co co jsou omamidla So much of suffering reduction techniques are just playing with concepts But once you see any contraction in experience in any moment as just dissipatable stress Going directly like this Lowering viscosity, expanding all that can be identified All day The freedom is timeless Reject spiritual/philosophical bypassing, embrace spiritual/philosophical integration and beautiful filling of every moment The Predictive Dynamics of Happiness and Well-Being We feel good if we are doing better than expected at a task (playing a guitar) We feel good if we are succefuly solving many priorities at once that compose our life narrative (such as career and family) We feel good when we're not stuck and growing and exploring the space of possibilities of pleasant error reduction slopes aka valence gradients (exploring new communities, career growth, hobbies, trying out different mental frameworks) ... Could nondual meditation hijack this mechanism by deconstrucing this unified narrative and dissolving all internal subagents with their objective functions and cultivating a meta subagent that classifies all experience that is holistically as better than expected in every moment making us feel stable sense of unconditioned wellbeing? Could the deconstruction of this unified narrative that determines the error dynamics and replacement with nondual unconditional priors be the mechanism behind nondual enlightenment (stable wellbeing)? Could depressive nihilism (dark night of the soul) be the consequence of deconstruction of this life narrative (or none being formed in the first place) without cultivating those nondual priors?
