| | | | | [AI summary] The article discusses the development of computational simulations to model meditative cessations and peak 5-MeO-DMT experiences. It introduces three key simulations: (1) Gestalt Detector, which explores how specific points of view interact with our ability to detect gestalts, modulating scene fabrication through the Near Miss parameter. (2) Standing Wave Pattern Across Multiple Fields, which allows comparison of emergent resonant modes in coupled oscillators using Coupling Kernels and switches between 3D and 2D distance functions, hypothesizing that cessations occur when waves travel identically regardless of distance function. (3) Fractal Recursive Coherence, which models recursive projections between sensory fields to create synesthetic const... | |

| | | [AI summary] The text presents a critique of the Foundational Research Institute's (FRI) approach to defining and addressing suffering and s-risks, with a focus on the philosophical and metaphysical challenges of functionalism. The author, Mike Johnson, argues that FRI's reliance on functionalism leads to intractable problems, such as the inability to provide a clear, disagreement-mediating definition of suffering. He outlines several objections to FRI's position, including the ineffability of suffering, intuition duels, convergence requirements, and the mapping of consciousness to physical systems. Johnson suggests that FRI should consider alternative frameworks, such as computational hierarchies, to address these issues. The text also references various so... | ||
