How do we understand the world around us? How do we solve problems?
Often the answer to these questions follows a certain pattern, an
algorithm if you wish. This is the case when our analytical
left-brain side is at work. However, there are also elements in our
behaviour where intelligence appears to follow a more elusive path,
which cannot easily be characterised as a specific sequence of
steps. Is Intelligence an Algorithm? offers an insight into
intelligence as it functions in nature, like human or animal
intelligence, but also sheds light on modern developments in the
field of artificial intelligence, proposing further architectural
solutions for the creation of a so-called global Webmind.
Technovedanta 2.0 is at the junction where science and technology
meet spirit in the light of the "Technological Singularity". It is
written for people with a scientific or philosophical orientation
and with an interest in (eastern) spirituality. The book aims to
explore the concept of consciousness as the foundation of being and
to provide a complete theoretical and technological digital
framework to integrate all possible knowledge of matter, mind,
information and mysticism without contradictions. Its basic tenet
is that Panpsychism and Pancomputationalism are not contradictory
notions, but two sides of the same coin that constitutes existence.
The book also aims to show the limits of logic and science and
furthermore aims to rid people of their self-inflicted belief
systems. In fact, the book is an epistemological quest showing how
philosophy, religion, logic and science fail to provide reliable
knowledge and are speculative at best.
Will the internet one day awaken as a conscious entity? Or do we
need to design a structured architecture in order to impart the
quality of consciousness to the web? In the present book
Technovedanta an architecture for the internet as AwwwareNet is
proposed based on stratifications derived from the Indian
philosophy of Vedanta to create a functional mimic of
consciousness, quasi-consciousness. The deep exploration in
Nature's fundamental primacy of consciousness led me to the
hypothesis of a panpsychic theory of everything. Welcome to a
journey into the unfathomable realm of fantasy, the chaotic soup
from which successful strategies are searched, pruned and
concretised to fulfil the cosmosemiotic imperative of ever
increasing complexity and meta-variegation. Welcome to this book of
books, a modern clavicula to engender the eschatological apotheosis
of Vedantic Singularity. Welcome to the unusual marriage between
Technology and Vedanta.
Is Reality a Simulation? is an unorthodox challenging anthology on
Bostrom's Simulation Hypothesis. With contributions from
scientists, philosophers, technoshamans and mystics it shows a
broad variety of perspectives from both supporters and opponents of
the argument.
