LLM, DL and generative AI to represent metaphysical hypotheses and theories.

Here is an image of our evolved perceptual user interface parsing the physical world from basement reality’s much more complicated qualitative dynamics.» —Michael Spark Leer más: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Sentience.Research/posts/1462369867653527/

>> The goal of constructor theory is to rewrite the laws of physics in terms of general principles that take the form of counterfactuals — statements, that is, about what’s possible and what’s impossible. It is the approach that led Albert Einstein to his theories of relativity. He too started with counterfactual principles: It’s impossible…

What are the different types of elements that constitute reality in its most essential aspect?
«If we want to develop a sentience simulation project, that admits as many hypotheses and theories about sentience as possible, we will find that obviously in such an environment it will not be enough to represent the sentience alone, but surely we will have to include other types of substances that may be related to…

Simulating philosophical hypotheses about sentience
Simulations can be used to understand and evaluate the different theories and metaphysical hypotheses in relation to sentience. We can use simulations as educational tools to better understanding of the different hypotheses, theories, paradigms and worldviews on sentience, as well as their implications, providing clarity in the debate about the details and alternatives within each…
