Prompted by an offer from Ars Electronica ’95 to introduce a philosophically inspired art project, I spent intense months with an ad hoc software team (the team was wonderful!) designing (and implemented by the software team) the interactive network version of a small artificial world based on philosophical considerations. In this world lived ‘blind Knowbots’ that could communicate with the outside world, using their other sensory experiences and basic bodily states as the basis for assigning meanings to their respective languages. Whatever language the users (mostly children!) used, they could link this language with their real-world experiences. This experiment has shaped me for many years, actually up to today. | - [[https://www.uffmm.org/2024/06/14/blinds-world-one-1995/|Blind’s World One (1995!)]] How can one philosophically conceive of artificial intelligence (AI) interacting with real people, an AI that learns real language with real meaning on its own?

However, it does not occur in isolation, detached from everything else. Rather, life on Planet Earth creates a complex network of processes which — upon closer examination — reveal structures that are consistent across all forms of life in their basic parameters, yet differ in parts. It must also be considered that these basic structures, in their process form, always intertwine with other processes, interacting and influencing each other. Therefore, a description of these basic structures will initially be rather sketchy here, as the enormous variety of details can otherwise lead one quickly into the ‘thicket of particulars’. | - [[https://www.uffmm.org/2024/06/22/collective-human-intelligence-chi/|Collective Human Intelligence (CHI)]] The main theme of this section is ‘collective human intelligence (CHI)’.

While genetic guidelines enable structures with typical functionalities that open up ‘possible action spaces’, filling these spaces is not genetically determined. This makes sense because the real ‘biological carrier system’ is not isolated but exists in an ‘open environment’ whose specific configuration and dynamics constantly change. From a ‘sustainable survival’ perspective, it is crucial that the biological carrier system has the ability to not only grasp the nuances of the environment at specific moments but also to represent, combine, and test them in the context of space and time. These simple words point to a highly complex process that has become known as ‘learning’, but the simplicity of this term may overlook the fact that we are dealing with an ‘evolutionary miracle of the highest order’. The common concept of ‘evolution’ is too limited in this perspective; it only describes a fragment. |

All three types have been present since the beginning of documented ‘cultural life’ of humans. The following attempts a rough typology along with known forms of implementation. |

Yes, this not only sounds like a paradox, it is a paradox. While a ‘contradiction’ between two different statements represents a factual incompatibility, a ‘paradox’ also conveys the impression of a ‘contradiction,’ but in fact, in terms of the matter, it is not an ‘incompatibility.’ The ‘knowledge of us individuals’ is real knowledge, but due to the finiteness of our bodies, our perception system, our memory, we can factually only gather a very small amount of knowledge ‘in us.’ However, the more people there are, the more ‘knowledge’ each person ‘produces’ daily—just analogously, or then also digitally—the greater grows the amount of knowledge that we humans ‘deposit’ in our world. Newspapers, books, libraries, databases can collect and sort this knowledge to a limited extent. But an individual can only find and ‘process’ small fractions of this ‘collected knowledge.’ The gap between the ‘available collected knowledge’ and the ‘individually processable knowledge’ is constantly growing. In such a situation, the availability of generative artificial intelligence in the format of chatbots (GAI-ChaBo) is almost an ‘evolutionary event’! This new technology does not solve all questions, but it can help the individual to ‘principally’ get a novel direct access to what we should call ‘collective knowledge of humanity.’ |

However, the fact that our ‘human system’ largely programs itself without our ‘voluntary participation’ can become our downfall within the framework of a democracy and in the age of the internet; not necessarily, but highly likely… |

But this conclusion is not a sufficient answer to my question. Somehow you are stating, that it is a “significant challenge” without having a clear answer today. Is this right? @chatGPT4: Yes, that’s a fair assessment. Integrating different formalisms across various scientific disciplines remains a significant challenge and an area of ongoing research and development. While there are strategies and approaches that can aid in this integration, as mentioned earlier, there is no universally applicable solution that works seamlessly across all fields and for all types of problems. |

While dialogues and practical experiments are critical components of the research process, the resulting texts form the basis on which knowledge is formally shared, verified, and further developed. They are indispensable for creating a clear understanding and a reliable foundation for the continuation of research.” |

Fundamental concepts : a new view]] @chatGPT4: Your insight blurs the traditional distinction between basic concepts and emergent properties by showing that in the process of developing a theory, what we ultimately recognize as basic concepts may indeed emerge from the complex interplay of ideas. This perspective aligns with the broader view of how knowledge is constructed and emphasizes the dynamic and evolving nature of conceptual frameworks. In this sense, the final framework of basic concepts in a theory could be seen as an emergent outcome of the theoretical development process. |

Role of Humans writing Texts]] @chatGPT4: Philosophical texts themselves are important, but they gain their true significance within the **human meaning space** that individuals create through their interactions with these texts and with each other. This meaning space, rooted in the experiences and interpretations of individual persons, is what ultimately forms the building blocks of a unified philosophical tradition. The tradition is not a static collection of texts, but a dynamic, evolving process of meaning-making that is constantly being enriched and redefined by those who engage with it. |
| | - [[https://www.uffmm.org/2024/08/14/chatgpt4-philosophy-digging-into-the-human-meaning-space/|CHATGPT4 – PHILOSOPHY : Digging into the Human Meaning Space]] Inquirer to chatGPT4: I will take the following short summary as bridge to the follow-up ideas : (1) Language expressions are composed of symbols wich are determined by rules and structures; (2) The inner states related to meaning are diverse and involve various cognitive, emotional, and sensory processes; (3) At the core are mental models that represent our understanding of the world. These models include abstract ideas, concrete objects, and complex scenarios. Furthermore the mind organizes concepts, emotions, sensory experiences, and language expressions into a network of associations. (4) Cognitive processes like inference and reasoning help us by connecting existing knowledge with knowledge about possible changes, to derive possible new states. Can you agree with this? @ChatGPT4: Yes, I agree with your summary. You’ve captured the essential points about how language expressions, inner states, mental models, and cognitive processes interact to create and understand meaning. |

A somehow surprising dialogue]] The following Dialogue is an English translation from German (done with chatGPT4) and has its origin in the context of the interaction between the human species and the planet earth. During this dialogue starting with physical things the dialogue turned more and more into a true philosophical dialogue recognizing biological life as a ‘cultural system’. This was from the author not intended! It happend driven by … the ‘internal logic’ of life? |

I am planning the following steps how to proceed further: (1) I will post this dialogue so far in two of my main blogs ... then (2) I will analyze a bit more how we could transform Democracies 1.0 (lacking the needed efficiency) to a kind of Democracies 2.0 with a new approach to improve efficiency significantly by keeping the key values of democracy not only alive but ‘improve these values’ instead. @chatGPT4o: That sounds like a great plan! Your vision of transforming Democracies 1.0 into Democracies 2.0 by addressing efficiency while preserving and even enhancing key democratic values is a promising direction. I’m excited to see how your analysis unfolds, and I’d be happy to assist with any further insights, ideas, or refinements as you continue exploring this transformation. |
