Optical spiking Transformer Joscha architecture Otazký co dava Curt Jumingal one way is deconstruct all sensations by looking what they're made of without using concepts and finding out how they're made of nothing and are not inherently there similarly like physics dissects everything into atomic things Reminder that the whole body is giant interconnected network of reinforcement learning agents (cells) learning correlations, regularities across time, from their environment, communicating with eachother (biochemical electromagnetic activity) and neurons are just different from other cells that they can communicate over long distance like a telegraph, while other cells communicate mostly with neighbours. Give your subagents treats, not threats. Befriend them, be their theraphist, love then, flirt with them. "Brain entropy positively associated with intelligence." More chaos, more degrees of freedom, nonlinearity, complexity of models. Combine with encoding the biggest amount of information in the least amount of bits possible in unified framework, deflation. [The entropic brain - revisited - PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29548884/) If a system is conscious depends on the definition of consciousness with its sufficient conditions. In panpsychism every system is conscious. In solipcism only "you" are. Its instrumental to your goals: idealism = agency, internal engineering, physicalism = external engineering, transcendentalism = freedom Neural Annealing can be understood in terms of this analogy: Brain is like a metal. When it gets used in activities that take effort, you start to feel tearing and inconsistencies in your experience, less symmetries in the metal's (brain's) structure (tissue and activity). The smoother the metal is, the more pleasant it feels. (Symmetry Theory of Valence) Activities that energize you (in the sense that they make you less tired), that don't work with concrete thoughts (meditation, music, excercise, cold showers, breath work, strong emotions, sauna, sex, psychedelics,,...) heat up this metal, that starts to melt and fill up the tears and reconfigure the metal into a more symmetrical shape, which then cools down (integration) and you feel more peaceful, calm, relaxed, energized, smooth, happy, in flow, effortless, blissful, joyous, loving, connected, holistic, complete, fullfilled, in the moment,... Computational Neuropsychology = Let's throw statistical physics math at the brain and experience and find out how psychological divergences and wellbeing works and how it can be fixed or created using psychotheraphy, substances, and neurotechnology Synthetizing general theory of mind What can you do: Science communication Pushing legalization of substances Psychedelic/meditation clinics for healing and finding meaning Computational model of psychosis The goal of wellbeing engineering is to live in the most symmetrical stable lowstress state possible Nondual philosophy symmetrifies thinking mind Deconstructive meditation symmetrifies all of experience very directly 5-MeO-DMT is symmetry hand granade that can be just temporary if not integrated or incompatible with current metastable framework Hurt parts create asymmetries, internal family systems can heal them Not feeling connected to oneself too, introspecting, understanding oneself, mindfullness can heal that Not feeling connected to others too, love and kindness can heal that Not feeling connected to the environment too, loving nature or love and kindness and experiencing spacious awareness via meditation or psychedelics can help with that Symmetrification Accelerationism Symmetry is a general term for less structure, less information, less difference, less dualities, less complexity, more similarity, easier flow similarity or exact correspondence between different things Doesn't change (is invariant) under change of conditions (under transformation) For example "everything is made of awareness" is a global symmetry in mental representations Fragmentation of our world view is the underlying problem leading to our problems in society, ability to identify with one ingroup and go into rivaly with another outgroup, optimizing particular metric while externaliting harm to another metrics, the ability to benefit the near term while damaging the long term, all of those are special cases of percieving parts rather than wholes, which ended up actually damaging the wholes and parts themselves through the interdependence of parts. Strategy: converting craving of short term pleasure into excercise so doing a pushup or whole workout instead my short workout is 5 pushups, 5 squats, 10 jumping jacks, run for a bit Strategy: anytime there's a lot of uncertainity or feeling of being lost or something that one wasnt prepared for happened, adapt at any cost and go with the flow in using a generalized approach instead of convergent hyperspecialization that easily breaks with slight divergence value is positive valence as an epistemic confidence that's attributed to an intentional object. So can I ask if this is a vaguely accurate idea, that Buddha’s (all of them) experience of nirvana and all associated states was all lower order selves aligned in their hierarchy signalling whatever the “homeostasis achieved” equivalent is upwards, without higher order selves influencing or filtering? “I am everything everywhere inside everything everywhere, a fractal of myself is the universe and consciousness and bliss’ sounds like what id imagine that to be like.. Burny — Today at 07:56 sounds good to me crossscale alignment In my science lens chakras are labels for certain attractors the phenomenological statespace corresponding to concrete types of selforganized configurations of brain dynamics, without any extra metaphysical assumptions Or our nervous system is composed of multiple, adjacent topological segments, and seven significant ones of those are located in the peripheral nervous system, corresponding to the chakras - and these can be annealed in their own right or even merged with adjacent bubbles ‘anxiety = excessive worry and apprehensive expectations, occurring more days than not for at least 6 months, about a number of events or activities, such as work or school performance” “patients apply the word anxiety to cover this range of signal decoherence between these areas, to this degree, at this time, in relation to…” valence is how the system is attracted towards maintaining that state more positive valence, less error signals, feeling home Dissolve all too certain beliefs by embracing infinite combinatorial explosion of possible synthesises with different models and become one with the ineffable unknownness of reality full of timeless absolute meaning Deity visualizations in predictive processing as identity reinforcements Since meditation makes you more Boba instead of Kiki, your goal of meditation by bobafying your nervous system can be to get girls lol, but dont get attached to it loving all that is after cessation when the world is reconstructing will implement loving patterns in the fundamental priors so that you can feel loving of all that is the most directly increasing symmetries can also be done by noticing the quiet spaciousness beyond internal simulation sense fields' boundaries (energy body, visual, hear, think) Equaminity as ability to let things be in the background or in the foreground without interference, without friction. mechanisms of attention, addictive conditined behavior mechanisms add all analogies Without fully feeling emotions and seeing them with clarity we make worse decisions and our intuitive mind is in pain On the Varieties of Conscious Experiences: Altered Beliefs Under Psychedelics (ALBUS) [OSF](https://psyarxiv.com/zqh4b/) Suggested use cases for psychedelics as therapies under different mechanistic models, with SEBUS effects hypothesized to predominate with microdosing, and a combination of SEBUS and REBUS effects with macrodosing tabulka End game of meditation post, dát do sources megapostu Awareness is like a space and attention Is like a flashlight in that space Unified physics?

General languages for effectively comp... stream of thought in discord i like to oscillate between classic physicalism (consciousness is emergent from physics/certain configuration of physics), panpsychist physicalism (physics is consciousness dynamics), panpsychist idealism (consciousness is fundamental and physics is interface), transcendental neutral monism (what is fundamental is something not connected to physics or consciousness, those are two lenses on something else, they'rem ade of this third thing), mysterianism (we have no idea what we are talking about and its disconnected from what actually is even if anything is even if issness itself makes some sense in some reality what idk wtf is going on), or superpoistion of all views (everyone is true about the same thing from a different lens) a no views at the same time (time for freedom) rethinking how electric flow of electrons heats up light bulb or creates insane complexity of dynamics in tranzistors from which we see things on screens that make sense to us in predictable ways kind of blows my mind the notion that neurons passing electrochemical signals through neurotransmitters and ions and selforganizing by electric fields learning to respond to messages from their environment as a markov blanket or reinforcement learning agent by modelling it and storing templates probably in soma's RNA and a turning machine which somehow encodes our generative model as colletive work of catching billions of correlations from bilion modalities (senses concepts space time others qualia) with our environment is totally mindblowing all of that somehow as a metastable pattern of tons of interacting elementary fuzzy wavey particles of matter through electromagnetism in spin foam not immideatly dissolving into entropy "theory of everything" vs "theory of anything" Is there life after death? Ontologically: Agnostic/fluid between all possibilities/reality goes beyond human concepts (I have that with any question) Pragmatically in experience: Useful mental construct narrarive to surpress the fear from the unknown of death. I prefer to live in the love with the unknown, that's how I see groundless ground. No conceptual guarding grounding fabrications! Do some death sangha! Pragmatically in science: Materialistic/Nonpanpsychist/Spacetimefundamentalism: Probably not empirically provable. Maybe? Nobody actually knows. Idealistic/Panpsychist/Physicalist/Realityisbeyondspacetime: It makes different sense in a a different lens where spacetime and distinctions are evolutionary useful illusions in our interface with reality.

I think all the lenses or metalenses can be merged in one giant metametalens. What matters is how well the model is supposted by empirical data and can predict other empirical data through hiearchical structures, mechanisms or symmetries. Also some of the models are more easily used daily pragmatically for for example wellbeing engineering or its more pleasant and higher in wellbeing to have them actively in mind, which is determined by their valence, which seems to be mostly determined by how much they unify things or prove the carrier's enemies wrong. Ideologies as loose high valence associations I still suspect its because of some fundamental disconnection or dissonance, what I've noticed is: unresolved trauma from nondual experience when for example not prepared what to expect with psychs, environment not being also in nondual state and feeling lonely and misunderstood. Maybe also inability to do more normal stuff one still values in nondual state, halting sense of further fulfillment. Or other unresolved psychological dissonance. mostly about severe dissociation. One can be both dissociated and embodied! I know people who are very embodied and also very dissociated. I'm not entirely sure how that works, but it's very much a thing. It seems to me like healing more trauma is the solution... Oh yeah, trauma halts wellbeing in general even if you're embodied, I understand traumatic memories as stored low-level microstructural dissonance in the internal representations of the nervous system [Healing Trauma With Neural Annealing](https://qri.org/blog/neural-annealing) Or too much canalization, order https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0028390822004579 Smoothen, fill the spiky dissonant dark void made of subagents with fullfillment, selfactualization and light, give it breadcrumbs of love and understanding! From personal experience nonduality helped me to see my conditioned reactive traumatic patterns more clearly without higher order mental fabrications shielding and managing it, and love and kindness helped me a ton to heal those hurt dissonant parts.

One day you're strictly materialist hyperanalytical reductive scientist, next day (even sense of time and being itself is a mood) you're playing with toys with totally real entity gods in the DMT hyperspace chatting about metaphysical love that is present everywhere. <3 Have you ever had an erotic encounter with a DMT entity? Did you like it? Sober on meditation with a deity, or on LSD, also on LSD where it felt with the whole universe, and it was glorious, does that count? :D I should try DMT! I havent done anything sexual for a long time now, not masturbating too. I'm converting the sexual energy to overall love. Parts cling to specific forms suffering creating conditioned happiness and maybe we can softly coax them to let go and that feels amazing good. You don't have to have zero desires, there is a middle way between not indulging too much but also enjoying everyday things that maximizes the total sum of overall hedonium. Addiction is narrowing of things that bring you pleasure. Happiness is expansion of things that bring you pleasure.

Let it be physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, sociology, ecosystems, it all can be described as evolving flow with random fluctations using stochastic differential equations. Any things in this fuzzy flow are stable patterns in time, have statistical boundary are their internal states are correlated with their environment's external states. Many tools from many mathematical disciplicines can be used to study this flow as listed above in the image.
