| | | | | What makes humans special? How is it that we are able to unleash the energy of the atom, transmute handfuls of sand into powerful djinn, and generally manipulate matter in any way not strictly forbidden by the laws of physics, while our hominid ancestors gather dust in the natural history museum? What tectonic forces have torn such a chasm between us and our surviving cousins, still banging rocks together in the animal kingdom? For most of history this was no great mystery: only humans have an immortal s... | |

| | | | | [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 describes three computational simulations designed to model cessation experiences, which are states of reduced phenomenological content. These simulations are based on the concepts of recursive mappings between sensory fields, coupled oscillators, and gestalt detection. The first simulation, the Gestalt Detector, explores how different perspectives interact with our ability to detect patterns in the environment. The second, Standing Wave Pattern Across Multiple Fields, investigates how waves in different fields can be synchronized by using either 3D or 2D distance functions. The third, Fractal Recursive Coherence, models how recursive projections can lead to a state of zero phenomenality by collapsing all projections into a single point... | |

| | | To celebrate its 23rd year in orbit, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has released a stunning new image of one of the most distinctive objects in our skies: the Horsehead Nebula. This image shows the nebula in a whole new light, capturing plumes of gas in the infrared and revealing a beautiful, delicate structure that is normally obscured by dust.
