I've always been convinced that proprioception is integral to the development of subjective experience, and ultimately to the arisal of consciousness. I guess we'll see all sorts of unexpected emergent behaviours with AI embodiment. What a time to be alive! 🙃

Yes! This is my intuition, too. But proprioception, along with "being-in-the-world," in my view, is the way towards AGI. Thus, my interest in computational phenomenology: [1] kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaC4n6CJqbWdn5osi=yFruGNj0SLFhGyj_ and [2] link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11023-023-09638-w

To Todd's point about feeling homeless, at around 53mins. I think Todd should understand and accept that he is a very unusual person with unusual, and some might say perverse, views. He may not feel at home where he comes from, but I do - so much so that I feel homesick when I'm away for any length of time. This is, I believe, how most people feel. He's an outsider and all of his prescriptions only really apply to other outsiders. When he senses the attitudes of the common, folkish man, he reaches for his gun.

He doesn't dismiss both internal and external... that seems silly to imagine. What he does is realize that because of particles and energy actually being waves, which wouldn't really have been understood at the time he wrote, he understood that everything must be connected as one unified thing. This Meaning, as such, that the mind of the body must also be a part of everything. To dislocate any part of the whole, namely self, and call it something by any other name than the whole... was to create a contradiction. The impossible task of contradicting nature by becoming aware of it... that is the split. To be an individual self, you must contradict nature and embrace the linguistic and symbolic representations that allow our agential selves to emerge.

As regards them being hard to find, JavaDoc is definitely our friend here. It's fallen into disuse somewhat but a decently written JavaDoc for a class's public API can save a lot of time & hassle. Don't explain what's going on under the hood, just tell the developers who're going to use it what they need to give it & what they can expect to get back, and maybe why the decision was taken to do a Static Factory Method rather than the expected constructor.

And then ponder this: photons experience no time, and travel no distance... they are not a thing but the essence of information. The information being released from the electrons in your light bulb's filament no more travels than the electrons in the filament have location. The photons are the information that excited electrons (and other less known phenomenon) exchange between each other. They just exist filling the void from our perspective. This means that every electron, from the point of view of photons, is in the same place.....🤯

So, how does information split into two streams, sent down two different paths, to two different detectors, over two different time intervals, interfere with one another? If, as stated above, the electrons are technically in the same place from the start. The electron that emits the photon and the electrons plural that received the signals after splitting. We can measure one beam, collapsing the function to a point and then watch as the interference pattern springs into existence the second path two finishes.

Identity is both itself and not itself. The incomplete void of proto-self gives rise to the curiosity and ego/ideal that allows true self-fulfillment. Or an alienation of self from identity, which is an alienation from culture and social knowledge, is the natural state of existing. One must seek out and find the tools necessary for their own social and, therefore, self enlightenment.

I've said for a while that it makes sense for Homo Sapiens to have evolved cognitive blinders to Nihilistic views on a Darwinian level, i.e. encoded into our neurobiological structure. Those experiencing this [certain kind of] Nihilism and/or Ego-death tend to become very self destructive, self-annihilating; self-removing from Darwinian perspective. Those with inbuilt cognitive faculties to override the type of reasoning which leads to Nihilistic positions have a selected advantage; they are genetically protected from despair. i.e. it makes total sense that that a certain kind of self delusion is necessarily inherent in the physical form of the human; and thereby is inherent OF the self of the species itself. In the totally Nihilistic state, one would reach the conclusion that the very self itself is a delusion; the very concept of the self is an illusion. The ontology of the self that we naturally have is shattered - nothing but a prescriptive byproduct of nature evolving brains. You can even reach the view that Cartesian dualism is both inescapable real to us, and simultaneously not-real, merely a fabrication of consciousnesses perception - the difference, or the barriers between the concepts of You and The World break down. It makes sense that our basic mental capacities of ontology-forming are biased towards holding beliefs compatible with existing successfully, reproductively... It can be argued there is a level of Cognitive dissonance required to ascribe to Nihilism and not fall susceptible to some of its implications.

That's awesome, I like spatial description defined in real world physical measurement (tangible concrete facts of reality). Inflation of meter space happened everywhere, it didn't occur at a point. Meter space is not a valid measure of energy. This is a fact about our universe, a contracted meter space (E) conversions are less in comparison to the uncontracted meter space, the local observer doesn't detect this unless the observer is smart enough to detect the energy exchange differential between these 2 reference frames. Inflation is not real, you must divide angular quanta to have more, energy is never created or destroyed, there is no free lunch, conservation of momentum and angular momentum. This is why gravity works, smaller angular quanta closer to the black hole, larger angular quanta as you move away from the black hole. Smaller angular quanta (smaller energy extent) will be pushed by the larger quanta (longer energy extent) into curved alignments in (real space not meter space), the length contraction does not occur in meter space, it acts ON meter space. It's important for science that we communicate meter space limitations, and where meter space is useful. Because ultimately it's about a objective measure of what the universe is. Nothing can travel faster than light in meter space, this is simply not true in real space. Universe is in wind down phase, observers will continue to shrink in real space and lose transfer speed between angular quanta, and see galaxies moving away in meter space and distances expanding. Inflation really is a illusion, not a valid measure of distance. Remember quantum mechanics operates in meter space, (E=hf) suffers the same problem. The nice thing is that we can derive real space by measure the differentials between 2 different frames. This is a objective real world measure of what space is.
