The systems of a society can be viewed as a societal cognitive architecture. The goal of the R&D program is to develop new, integrated systems that better facilitate societal cognition (i.e., learning, decision making, and adaptation). Our major unsolved problems, like climate change and biodiversity loss, can be viewed as symptoms of dysfunctional or maladaptive societal cognition. To better solve these problems, and to flourish far into the future, we can implement systems that are designed from the ground up to facilitate healthy societal cognition. The proposed R&D project represents a partnership between the global science community, interested local communities, and other interested parties. In concept, new systems are field tested and implemented in local communities via a special kind of civic club. Participation in a club is voluntary, and only a small number of individuals (roughly, 1,000) is needed to start a club. No legislative approval is required in most democratic nations.

Illustrative results show that stepwise cognitive transitions increase system performance by providing complementary mechanisms for alignment between agents’ local and global optima. Alignment emerges endogenously from the dynamics of interacting AIF agents themselves, rather than being imposed exogenously by incentives to agents’ behaviors (contra existing computational models of collective intelligence) or top-down priors for collective behavior (contra existing multiscale simulations of AIF). These results shed light on the types of generic information-theoretic patterns conducive to collective intelligence in human and other complex adaptive systems.” Exploring the Predictive Dynamics of Happiness and Well-Being [- YouTube]([- YouTube]([- YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v====m8gUev5aVFs))) Doing better than expected at resolving local and global free energy reduction slopes.

Psychopathologies can be seen as maladaptive nash equilibrium configurations of subagents. For example small perturbations can easily create tons of error signals in the system, putting it under stress which can unify it or destabilize it. Or trade off between freedom and governance, competition and cooperation. I care about both scales about everyone. Civilization can be analyzed in three ways that interconnectedly interact and influence eachother by interforming: what is its a memeplex (world views, value systems, what ought to be) (computational), social coordination strategies (behavior, financial incentives) (algorithmic) and physical tooling set upon it depends (tech) (implementational). What changes in all three od them simultaneously, factoring all the feedback loops, produce a virtuos cycle that orients in a direction that isnt dystopias (Chinalike top down agent imposing (opressive) goals and values on people instead of them being emergent from the values of people getting into the government using democracy) or catastrophies (zero governance, zero power checking, asymmetrical competetion of everyone, anarchocapitalism, bezos empire versus zuckerberg empire, zero top down agent) ? Cumulative exponential tech level is currently the most dominant and binding all other levels instead of the other way around. We need values of the people to bind tech instead. Those values can be elected into governance via will of the people via democracy with checking and balances of power from the people and by separation of power, preventing opression, tyranny and dystopias, creating aligned emergent instead of imposed values, by educating people both scientifically and morally and theory of governance, such that collective will of the people isnt dumb and misguided to govern exponential tech and selfterminate creating catastrophies but instead bind it for long term adaptive wellbeing by thinking about its nth order effects without big narrow techno pessimist or techno optimist bias universally globally to prevent arms races to not selfterminate the whole world by multipolar traps. Unity via less narrower more connected through more fundamental similarities value systems preventing stuff like left right polarization. For example people of US have small power on power checking the economical power. I wanna experience all beings feeling peace, safety, satisfaction, selfrealization, belonging, acceptance, being understood, freedom, happiness, contentment! ==Metacrisis, moloch== ==Other== ==Love and transcendence== 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 to feel more free. The less you fundamentally identify with some concrete cluster of sensations, the less things will bother you. Mental frameworks are configurations of the qualia that make the new insights stick. Groundless ground makes all nondual dissolving realizations stick permanently, makin them not just an experience that instantly fades away. The more one pushes himself in this framework, the more it stick. Constantly integrating emptiness into form. Mundane things become divine. Being "out of simulation" becomes the same as being "trapped inside simulation". Nirvana becomes samsara. Duality becomes nonduality. Distinction becomes unity. Somewhat something moving on a fading road. Experience without projector. The screen of consciousness isn't fundamental too. No ground. Freedom.
