Done I'm sending luck, love, success, hug, peace, safety, the best possible experience with joy to you all! ^3^ Done ChatGPT QRI I think everyone benefits from neural annealing and internal family systmes mental wellbeing is an engineering problem. I love this, and it's interesting how belief in the supreme selfcontrol metacogniton metaselfprogramming without limits of the mind over its thoughts and emotions or sensations in general maximizes effectivity of this skill, of this capability, essencially skyrocketed placebo at its limit. But at the same time it can create unrealistic expectations where one feels dissonant prediction error when something that is beyond one's mind control at that time happens, because of a stressful environment for example or when molecular neurobiology is broken in some sense and would require fixing the emergence of some types of neurotransmitters when there's too little or too much of some of them for example or when the brain tissue has some malfunctioning part such as a tumor, or with locally hyperconnected default mode network (your evolutionary old processes, animal self) and not so connected different brain regions creating less harmonious flow of information creating worse ability for the brain work as a holistic singleton, creating less symmetries and worse wellbeing, or less trained prefortal cortex (executive central network) that actually implements selfregulation or the sense of free will. Some types of neurobiology can create attractions towards dissonant reality tunnels. Or when structure of the neural networks require more training to implement selfregulation over some subset of experience, such as you cant instantly be the best in the skill of playing the piano, which applies to any other metacognition skill imo, I see all skills as a trainable continuum with possible transmittable general learned skills, or when one gets captured by some reward mechanism hijacking tool such as too frequent social media, some types of food, some substances, porn,... And for example this reward mechanism hijacking is killing what makes us happy, overstimulating reward circuitry based on dopamine, endorphins, internal opioids, and if that one thing the reward circuitry is trained on is not connected with other things in the brain, such as social connection or subjective sense what ought to be in ethics and the world model, that impairs holistic internal interconnectedness, which impairs the emergence of a meaning vector, and through meaningless hyperstimulation creates tolerance to further reward signals, sinking into "nothing feels rewarding" belief attractor metastable brain configuration. There are definitely many other possible factors that can are against wellbeing, such as dissonant (meta)memeplexes that are strongly solidified and create even more dissonance when they are destabilized instead of updated to a more consonant version or dissolved. Addictive behavior has cures luckily, but meditation can work for some people better than for others, some people are compatible with different techniques or some antiaddiction substances can help. Mindfulness-induced endogenous theta stimulation occasions self-transcendence and inhibits addictive behavior. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abo4455#.Y0cxJJgZqB8.twitter https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1037889633146654740/1055311410810331146/29425367_1895223750549426_4917251707219476480_n.jpg I suspect abstaining from masturbation is good for love and kindness meditations as you have more feels good neurotransmitters in stock Also for social interactions or rewarding actions in general Neurophenomenology https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1364661322002911 I am more thinking about symmetry theory of valence in terms of statistics, data science: the more easily the brain activity propagates in the neural tissue, the more flow there is, the more symmetrical it is, (less energy sinks, concrete attractors, classifiers, local contractions, potential for dissonance there is) and this lens maybe doesn't need hardcore maths. https://twitter.com/Plinz/status/1606361652366016522 Fun in academia moje discord zprávy Group neural annealing of consonant prosocial memeplexes with shared goals with functional neurobiological tissue that is compatible with hedonium activity that benefits everyone Relieving suffering and bringing gradients of bliss as a basic right to all beings is a nice one that QRI is centered around. From a certain lens nobody is fundamentally bad, everyone is maximizing wellbeing under their current beliefs the best they can, (its bayesian optimal behavior) but sometimes some beliefs include hurting others (physically or on the level of nonlinear wave computing dissonance in the nervous system through language), which can create conflicts (disharmony) between two belief systems 🤔 And sometimes you just get two systems hurting eachother in a feedback loop way Done All seemingly imperfect things to the thinking conditioned mind are actually perfect under the hood without any perceptual filters <: Raw sensory experience without any conceptual parsing feel like the definition of perfection But it's beyond all language and concepts including this what I'm saying I'm thinking a lot about designing activities that result in high wellbeing, smooth defragmentive fresh neural annealing.

Those parts can serve as outdated learned conditioned reaction or behavior to some negative experience in the past. Internal family systems theraphy helps them by listening to the source of the negative emotions by letting them express themselves, noticing why are they there in the first place, what part of you generates it. You can create a dialog between it and a good new part of me, showing it that everything now is safe with love, joy and compassion, that it doesn't need to be defensive and hurt anymore, all is good little boy, have some love candy as a treat. 🤗 And then I explode in pure love to everything and everyone. 😸 Retweet Andres tweet about symmetry theory of valence [How Chaos Control Is Changing The World - YouTube](https://youtu.be/q1-cwamhwag) [Controlling nonlinear dynamical systems into arbitrary states using machine learning | Scientific Reports](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-92244-6) [Predicting disruptive instabilities in controlled fusion plasmas through deep learning | Nature](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1116-4) [Magnetic control of tokamak plasmas through deep reinforcement learning | Nature](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-04301-9) "Predicting disruptive instabilities in controlled longterm amazing mental wellbeing brain states through deep learning"?

Meditation Is the athletics of the mind [Neuroscientists have created a mood decoder that can measure depression | MIT Technology Review](https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/12/14/1064906/mood-decoder-measure-depression/) https://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/10619/presentation/81875 He remembers being repeatedly asked how he felt as surgeons probed his brain with electrodes. “Then they hit a spot and I said: ‘I actually feel back online,’” he says. “Depression is like a constant weight on your soul. When they touched that perfect little spot, that weight lifted.” In the years since, the pulses of stimulation have been tweaked slightly. Six months after the operation, the team turned off the stimulation without telling John. His symptoms immediately worsened. “It was obvious,” he says. “I told them: ‘I don’t know what you did, but I can’t sleep, I’m anxious … it’s not working.” “We’re hoping that there are some generalizable findings that we get out of this,” A brain region called the cingulate cortex fires in a certain way when all three are in a better mood and shows the opposite pattern of activity when the volunteers are experiencing a low mood. Across prefrontal channels, we found that reduced depression severity is associated with decreased low-frequency and increased high-frequency neural activity. John’s electrodes are still delivering pulses of electrical stimulation deep in his brain. He charges the battery embedded in his chest every week. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6490158/ A brain network model for depression: From symptom understanding to disease intervention https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8927302/ A Predictive Coding Framework for Understanding Major Depression The most effective way to be truly loved is to be fully yourself my inner most motivation is creating the best mental wellbeing all around me including my organism thats motivation behind all my existence really in the nondual background dissolved in pure vast loving symmetry in the frontground an effective altruist machine but background and frontground are actually one and the same under the hood all minds travelling different paths in valence maximizing gradient all equally bayesian optimal, doing the best they are able to feelsgood may all beings be succesfully helped into even more optimal wellbeing maximizing paths by the environment :Metta: i suspect the key for every crazy scientist there's always some one key motivation let it be maximizing hedonium, agency, longevity feeling blissfullest, like the biggest god, existing eternally or feeling pure love valencium seems to include them all the more internal symmetry, the more reality tunnels one can inhabit :TrippyCatJam: travelling the general statespace of possible thinking frameworks by tempature and entropy mediated plasticity and deepening concrete lenses by canalization plasticity expand, contract underfit, overfit free from everything yet fully deep in everything i really wanna formalize all those paradoxical states of mind in predictive coding you maybe underfit the model of a duality so you get both sides in a superposition Burnydelic — Today at 05:51 emtify concepts, increase soulfulness, fully inhabit your life, become love dopamine can be seen as the happiness of the pursuit of the reward https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/991777324301299742/1057864848844804116/image.png Definition of love merging with god qualiacomputing You can dissolve concepts by making them into nonsymbolic gods, believe in both the concept and its contradiction, let it be eaten by emptiness, or applying them to or under every other concept making them a global overunderfitted something that is just an empty shell full of everything Poznámky z mýho tripu Transcend all systems into the most stable harmonious technobuddhist anarchy Buddisht communist transhumanist utopia Traditional jhanas seem so dualistic.

Accumulating evidence also suggests that depression is characterized by impaired local and long-range prediction signaling across multiple sensory domains. The review focuses on studies of sensory deviance detection and reward processing, highlighting research evidence for both disrupted generative predictions and prediction error signaling in depression.

Different ways of finding happiness as different ways of minimizing dissonance/free energy Your vibe attacts your tribe I think "A Sensory-Motor Theory of the Neocortex based on Active Predictive Coding" paper can help with a lot of phenomenology! 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! ========================================== The paper: [A Sensory-Motor Theory of the Neocortex based on Active Predictive Coding | bioRxiv](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.30.522267v1) A Sensory-Motor Theory of the Neocortex based on Active Predictive Coding We propose that the neocortex implements active predictive coding (APC), a form of predictive coding that incorporates hierarchical dynamics and actions. In this model, each neocortical area estimates both sensory states and actions, and the cortex as whole learns to predict the sensory consequences of actions at multiple hierarchical levels. “Higher” cortical areas maintain more abstract representations at larger spatiotemporal scales compared to “lower” areas. Feedback from higher areas modulate the dynamics of both state and action networks in lower areas. This allows the cortical network to model the complex dynamics and physics of the world in terms of simpler compositional elements (state transition functions). Simultaneously, current higher level goals invoke sequences of lower level sub-goals and actions, allowing the network to solve complex planning problems by composing simpler solutions. Planning (“system 2” thinking) in turns allows the network to learn, over time, perception-to-action mappings (policies; “system 1” thinking) at multiple abstraction levels. We provide examples from simulations illustrating how the same APC architecture can solve problems that, at first blush, seem very different from each other: (1) how do we recognize an object and its parts using eye movements? (2) why does perception seem stable despite eye movements? (3) how do we learn compositional representations, e.g., part-whole hierarchies, and nested reference frames for equivariant vision? (4) how do we model the “physics” of a complex environment by decomposing it into simpler components? (5) how do we plan actions in a complex domain to achieve a goal by composing sequences of sub-goals and simpler actions? and (6) how do we form episodic memories of sensory-motor experiences? We propose a mapping of the APC network to the laminar architecture of the cortex and suggest possible roles for cortico-cortical, cortico-thalamic, cortico-hippocampal and cortico-subcortical pathways. ========================================== 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 Gomez Emilsson 's 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
