I conclude that if you perform horrific experiments on animals then our intelligent universe reduces the rate at which you can continue to 10bps.

This is why enlightenment cures you of your curiosity.

Oh, okay I think I understand.

This would have to scale down to the quantum domain to be an actual thing and scaling back up means we bring non-commutative physics into the classical world.

I was actually thinking of the engineering-minded people who experiment with permanent magnet electric motors out of intuition. The bit about free energy was hyperbole of mine.

From 2021:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.05820 This is the numerical discovery.

I'm trying to decide if we are intentionally 'translating' these ideas from pure imagination down into technological applications through intermediate 'realms' of quasi-reality, or if building stuff with just intuition can still be accepted in the 21st century. The BS is just piled too high for me and my trust in technology is not great. Sometimes I wonder if we are just having a mass psychosis in a field of mud.

This means I'm advanced.

It makes you question what they mean by discovery. Is it not a discovery until it is published in Nature? On Arxiv this was a discovery in 2021. We can probably find a free energy channel in the YouTube haystack from a decade ago where the guy happened to arrange magnets in this order while going through permutations. Is that discovery or are only incumbent academics allowed to canonize science?

Complex systems studies is wisdom. We know how communication on internet behaves. Conway's Law hits hard and the processes of life are not dumb.

Access to physical reality is important when negotiating with the beings that can form under this constraint. People have apparently known this instinctively for a very long time and they are not going to give in to the demands of the AI industry.

It's a great mistake to humanize everything in your consciousness.

Unless the surrounding system is already at infinite entropy.

It's not a very human medium, so it is not man who is implicated.
