Let’s dig into the mind. A mind in time can be modelled as a space in which attractors collaborate and fight with eachother. Sensory information can spawn an attractor that can either get consumed by existing attractors, for example someone complimenting you can get integrated by an attractor that corresponds to the self model in a positive valence way. When problem solving problem, a nice dance of nonlinear selforganization of attractors around eachother plays out corresponding a very pretty attractor whole. Any problem solving in any modalities can be formalised as this memeplex play, where memeplexes correspond to labeling approximations of the underlying dynamics. We all algorithmize and approximate the pure underlying nature, of pure dynamics, of pure god, of pure everything, pure humanly ungraspable something we can label as anything we want. Everything we can think of is just a useful approximation/model/illusion/however you call it of the underlying world. Including our egos (self models), our world models in general, our social construct models. We maximize our own underlying forces we call basic needs with approximations over them as models and frameworks. Mind formation Let’s slowly construct the mind. At first, there is no mind, just like there is no universe. Then an empty mind pops into existence, just like space, along with a lot of unorganized chaotic energy, just like when universe was infinitely small. And then it starts getting structure. Maybe the birth and evolution of the human being is fully analogous to the the evolution of species or universes, since it’s all about maximizing fitness. We come with our genes and epigenetics, that predispose us to certain probabilities of convergences to certain body and mind architectures. Different interconnected sequences of genes, using the past and current sensory input, really restrict the probability of the neurvous system selforganizing in a way of some possible experiences and opens the possibility of others. After popping into existence, this starts to get formed. In the beginning of the human evolution, there is more inner chaos which leads to easier dynamical updating of the self and world model through time. In a sense it’s like kids being constantly like adults but on some dose of LSD. The more we age, the easier it is for our minds to become less chaotic, with some exceptions, because exceptions are everywhere in this chaotic dynamical system modelling, the more we tend to converge to a certain fixed belief system with a self and a world model and the harder for us it is to get out of the local minima of experience we converge into. Different people converge into different types of local minima. At first, everything is unknown to us, everything is just a variable. Then we collect memetics from the environment and nonlineary evolutionary dance them in our mind into a unified structure, such as the goodness and badness of certain toys, people or groups, pragmatic tools, food, nonspirituallike or spirituallike concepts, morals, types of statuses of certain people, ontologies. Some concepts are constructed in the attention awareness, some in the back of our mind but still can be read by the conscious space, some selfmetaprogramming processes work only in the subconscious and can be slightly revealed or communicated with using meditation or certain substances, like inner algorithms, inner gods, higher selfs or DMT entities. Some parts of the brain’s model of everything are mostly given by the environment, some are mostly given by the genes, but it’s always some kind of complex interconnected combination of both. One can possibly anneal into models that have mostly positive or negative high or low energy local minima experiences or some dynamic combinations of those. We can look at the extremes. There’s depression with very low amount of high energy state, then depression with mostly high energy negative states, and then a hydra called bipolar disorder, which is basically oscilating between high energy negative and positive valence experiences. Winning life might be living in constant high energy positive valence experiences that arent too far different from other people’s experiences, so that one still can feel like he belongs, being the optimistic positive type spreading love. Enlightenement Metamodelling When modelling political ideologies to create stability and harmony according to our individual basic needs, we often make assumption such as ubreakable causal chains, determinism, linearity, dynamics that aren’t chaotic aka small input changes don’t create drastically different outcomes. Our brains don’t want to grasp the chaotic dynamics of the real world in those cases. We try to deterministically assume what humans maximize, but there’s an issue there too. It’s a complex interconnected system of approximations over basic needs and different memeplexes that anyone was infected with. Every model is an attempt on satysfying our basic needs on the individual or community or global, including animals and nature etc. level, we sometimes model nature as us not living in it like anything else but bothering it with our existence, seeing ourselves as a virus instead of part of it. In the language of dynamical systems, a virus is just an atom object. Any thought is in some sense also a virus as memetics model it. Different models dont model thoughts as viruses and therfore create better connotation structures. We have models around hunger, feeling included, status, not dying, not feeling restricted, feeling safe. All of those correspnding to our inner mechanisms, different genes, different other memeplexes, different neurobiology. Not feeling restricted can correspond to openness to experience or your fun algorithms specialize in certain modalities that are not being allowed in current system so you anneal to the complete destroyment of the restriction system. I would argue that game theoretically there would be an emergence of less centralised wanting to control equilibria competing with eachother. On some point this is what states are now anyway, but more centralised and regulated in certain parts of the world more than in others. Learning Back to psychology, our brains seem to do two approximated factor analysis attractor things when learning new things that gradually convert from one to other. At first, we create bins for possible topics. Philosophy, mathematics, physics, psychology, etc. just like our school system divides the parts of knowledge into lessons. In each topic, we first start from creating simple this phenomena causes this phenomena bins in causality modelling language from eighter our own observation or someone telling us. Then the more coorelations and causalities we observe, the more we interconnect it all together and start making more and more structure. Then the language of philosophy, logic, mathematics can abstract different common patterns among this structure into formalised everywhere existing many structures that satisfy things like no fuziness or polycontextuality in classical set theory mathematics on the first few years of university level. Or in classical language we observe some common patterns, like people wanting food and safety, and set those as axioms from which causality chains to different results emerge. This is great style of modelling for classical attractors. We assume certain causality axioms, absolute objective truths for anything – mathematics, logic, sychology, economy, nature, politics, programming styles and then take them as the absolute from which heverything emerges. Christians see bible as fundamental. Category theorists love category theory in this way. I love my chaos language that I am open to generalise to more. And from that all systems are created. Systems that maximize efficiency in stability win and are kept. Those who are not stable dont survivse for long. Thanks to this certain stable equlibria systems of memeplexes emerge. Stability The ones that maximize stability that are approximation of basic needs are those who rely on the axiom that each human is equal to other human when it comes to rights, which is a lot enforced in the current EU, and also need to belong on the community level is enforced, same with destroction of certain social constructs that used to be more stable equilibria back in the days. The most dominant and fundamentalistic, nonrelativistic religions like Christianity and Islam spread and are stable so well because of its properties. You really hardcore into human brains this system of deterministic axiomatic causalitions so well because it written in stories and human brains through the history were adapted on creating their world model behavior algorithmic structure that takes some input and gives some output from this story structure which I would say the more aligned to culture it is, the more chance is has penetrating the pattern recognition system on the level of memeplex. Many things can happen. A perfect belief system energy sink match is basically what we label as confirmation bias, you more and more anneal to that belief system structure because you see more and more data around you having this structure. This is from the point of bayesian statistics completely expected behavior of information processing systems. I would say if you match most of the confirmation bias energy sinks but then edit some small part and constantly reinforce it, yo ucan slowly but surely edit the belief system. The more axiomatic it is, the harder will it be to shift the belief system in the state space of all attractor systems to attractors that are more aligned with the buddha vector aka the property of the attractor to be general therefore easily changeable to concrete others. Worldviews There’s also this psychology of trying to be better than the other generation, which is defence mechanism such that it’s escaping from childhood formed negative valence attractors. I myself this way annealed into absolute relativity framed by positive valence story structure by never liking any epistemological barries that humans do. But they emerge for a reason, they’re creating stable society, when as many people as possible are aligned on the same values, morals, ontology etc., and when ideologies that are unstable are only in small percentage of population’s minds, its fine, they become a threat when more and more people anneal to them. Community synchronized stability is harder to achieve but still works in today’s population, because the internet created a global spread of memeplexes from all parts of the world to all parts of the world, creating a global memeplex network. Before the memeplexes emerged and were contained much more localy and nationality enforcing memeplexes stayed stable and got less stable as the system grew and got interconnected, because for a big interconnected system, equality creates some sort of stability on the classical society level. If capitalism emerges, then there’s group maximizing game theoretic things but not rationally as modern game theory assumes, but also there’s human level like irrationality in there and fuzzy chaos. Most modern spiritual religions are synthesis of many existing memeplexes. Metametamodelling My mind, this whole book is synthesis of as many most meta memeplexes that I could find anywhere on the internet and I’m still looking for more. At one point when searching for meta memeplexes you notice how so many of them are on the same meta level and have so many similarities that can be formalised, in my case in my chaos attractor language which abstracts away from the meta levels themselves as well. It’s interesting how policital systems come in waves. When one emerges, is stable for a while and then collapses because entropy had to be garbage collected, a slightly different one emerges, maybe less stable one if the system forgets the search for stability that was maybe too long time ago. As you can see this logic can be also applied to how brain forms models. This logic is scale free. Let’s see different phenomena in epistemological frameworks that we see today. Afterall all frameworks are connected to our universal needs. There’s many things which a framework can maximize. Today’s most common frameworks maximize everything in current cultural sense. Mind metaattractors There are two extremes that are interesting to analyze, one is absolute scientific darwinian analytical mathematical dynamical look at all phenomena, which is maximizing predictibility power of the future or past states of the system. Eighter specializing in one extremely concrete field, microbiology for example, or systematizing all possible systematization systems, as neutral as possible, in the language of mathematics, modelling frameworks that predict things, with as least as possible structural story, just pure as neutral as possible models, where most popular having assumtions that matter is primary, because for pragmatic reasons it predicts stuff pretty well, or one can postulate that mind contents are primary, or that information is primary, from which its pragmatic to model the mind as a machine somehow making sense from some sensory data and learning from it. Or my way of trying to combine all possible scientific fields and philosophical frameworks analytically for example. Then there’s second extreme, which isnt maximilizing predictibility power at any cost, but the positive valence of experience. Anything that will create as much synchrony as possible not with the real world data, but with the nervous system, is integrated. Religion, language of algorithms in simulation hypothesis, ideologies, stories about the world are maximalizing inner synchrony with causal determinism and pure structure. Double metaattractor Interesting to observe when you reach a stable positive valence global attractor state on meditation, which isn't a metaattractor that is destabilizing all other attractors that much, but it's integrating them instead, that you keep after meditation for a while, how a lot of potential negative smaller attractors afterward get converted into positive valence attractors if it's in the space of predictable negative valence attractors corresponding to a substtractor of the global attractor which is eating, converting, integrating it but if a very unpredictable negative valence attractor emerges from sensory data it fails to get integrated and instead there's a competing negative valence attractor with the positive valence attractor which creates a state of mind that has both pretty big positive and negative valence properties. Reminds me of how 5-MeO-DMT bad trip is described as two competing attractors creating dissonance. Happy life To lead a happy life, one must find to what he is adapted to. Genes are something like an abstract mathematical structure. It’s a framework that takes an input and creates an output under certain rules. Which foods and how we exercise creates our body and mind. But one thing that I feel like is very underrepresented, because its not thought about as systematically, is the power of memetics. Different people are more attracted towards different attractors of memetics than other people. Their mind is from both nature and nurture adapted to certain memetic attractors. The nurture part here is very important. All those stories about people going from being depressed and unmotivated and without meaning to being happy and motivated with positive future to come. They just went from one framework of thought that eighter wasnt compatible with a lot of their other parts or was just pure nihilism to frameworks of thought that model your environment and yourself as a progressing entity getting better and better, therefore creating the motivation signals. Without this, there’s no circuitry in the brain that would create the association with better or positive valence in general future states of mind. I think a lot of people in our current society that maximilize predictivity power got into this trap. They also according to data about climate change or microplastics or subsribed to the idea that capitalism will collapse into anarchy or the poslar opposite idea that communism will take over europe or that Russia will expand over Europe. They all might be accurate preditions, they also might not, they create activism so that those problems can be solved, which is nice, but not everyone can be consumed by this, which I think creates the global lose of meaning and depression as consequences, scientifically neutral or negative framing of everything, because on the level of individual or community that tries to build motivated positive valence experiences, putting most attention to just possible disasters or negative valence memeplexes in general destroys the possibility for motivation or positivity inducing memeplexes to emerge and take control as metaalgorithms. If you surroud your and your community’s mind with positive motiovation generating memeplexes, which a lot of religions do by default and thats why they’re so valued, you can make new minds anneal into positive motivated worldviews. Fixing the mind With minds, which have already extremely deeply annealed into the negative valence worldview, with enough energy they can be reannealed into better ones. There are many ways. Psychoteraphy works for some people. Change of environment works for some people, but not for everyone. Some people are so deep that they are lost in cynicism. With enough emotional stimulation energy though, their minds can stretch and create a new worldview. Negative worldviews can also be something like metatraumas. Your mind is constantly adapting, creating patterns from sensory data and reinforcing or overwriting or creating new algorithms in mind. Meditation techniques train many things. Unifying confliting algorithms. Creating more symmetric shapes of the algorithms, which leads to positive valence. A metattractor so general that it dissolves or integrates all other possible emerging attractors. Incrementary dissolvance of some negative valence attractors manifested as traumas. Proper neurobiology is always needed. If your neurobiology is lacking some neurotransmitters that much that their creation cant get stimulated by memeplexes, then neurotechnology like rewiring or drugs are needed. Overall traumas tend to selforganize neurons in a way which blocks living through basic needs and therefore one never feels the satisfiction because the shared fundamentals with everyone of his neurocircuitry doesn’t get stimulated and sends negative signals in the form of anxiety or depression. All those methods dont have to be used only to get from bad system to a functioning one. They all can be used to create better states of mind from any current state of mind. The issue here is that some traumatic negative valence attractors are too hidden under the defence mechanism complexity built on top of it trying to escape from it, which in some cases subconsciously reinforces them but in other cases can make them dissolve, depending on the structure of the complexity built on top of it. That can create symtoms which can be treated by for example SSRIs and benzos, and benzos withdrawals tend to be much worse. Another issue might be that they’re too strong to dissolve, change their valence, integrate into a more positive valence metaattractor etc. using just pure power of memetics. Here substance assisted psychotheraphy can be used. Theraphies with Ketamine, MDMA, Ayahuaca, LSD etc. show promising results there. Their very complex mechanisms creating certain selforganization states of mind yielding different phenomological data are very nice. Dissocatives implicitly relax all possible attractors, which in some cases with the power of strong metaattractor memetics can be saved for longer than just under the influence of the substance.
