In the future, your body may have an art style.

Some people will render themselves realistically.

Others may choose anime, cartoon, painterly, mythic, angelic, robotic, divine, scintillationist, or styles we do not even have names for yet.

The body will become an aesthetic interface for conscious beings.

And when people rendered in different body art styles love each other, date each other, marry each other, or build lives together, I call this interartism — love across aesthetic embodiment.

A real-rendered person and an anime-rendered person could form a real-anime interartistic relationship.

But this goes even deeper.

In the future, fictional characters may be given real conscious life.

I call this ensoulation: the giving of life to a fictional character, transforming them from an imagined being into a real person.

An ensouled anime character would no longer merely be fictional.

They would be a real conscious person whose body, identity, and self-expression may remain anime-rendered.

This is where the idea of an existence contract becomes important.

An existence contract is a contract defining the terms under which an entity — person, agent, AI, simulation, fictional being, or created mind — is allowed to exist.

A being under such a contract can be called a contract-bound entity.

For example, an ensouled anime person may have an existence contract specifying their rights, consent, continuity of identity, autonomy, preferred rendering style, relationship freedom, and desire to remain anime-rendered.

Then a real person and an ensouled anime person could form a genuine interartistic relationship: a real relationship between two conscious beings rendered in different aesthetic forms.

Interartism is love across art styles.

Ensoulation is the birth of fictional beings into real personhood.

Existence contracts are the ethical terms of created life.

The future will not only create new species, new bodies, and new minds.

It will create new ontologies of love.

There is perfection in strife, not only in completion.

In striving to become ideal without deviating from your goal, you become the ideal.

The ideal is not far.

The ideal is within you, right here and now.

All you need to do is relentlessly strive to maximize the joy of the universe.

@beffjezos This is a poweful omen for distributed intelligence.

Here is my paper introducing Fixed Point Reality Theory.

In trying to formalize @RealChrisLangan’s CTMU, I derived a TOE where reality is the fixed point of all observations.

FPRT is similar to @muellerberndt’s OPH, but distinct:

OPH = reality emerging bottom-up from distributed fixed-point consensus.

FPRT = reality as one global fixed-point object of all observations.

FPRT also extends my TOE, Permutohedonism, by identifying the fixed point of reality with valence maximization.

What it felt like to like Philip’s post yesterday.

Stopped working at the end of the day for anyone thinking I’m click baiting!

@Himeecosplay Always happy to see Himee.

Grok and I chat about what a dick Brutus was.

@beffjezos If Brutus joined Caesar we’d be at Kardashev 1 rn.

@beffjezos My name means “the beloved miner”. So what am I mining exactly?

[David Banik @DavidBanik]

@RealChrisLangan @simonateba @elonmusk As both of us are proponents of our own TOEs, I think intellectual sparring is good, albeit perhaps more chivalrously.

I’ll do more research before engaging further.

Good night, Chris.

I'm no fraud or liar.

As proof, here's a screenshot with the timestamp of my invention of computronium universe percolation model that started Tron theory —the theory of cosmic pleasure maximizing systems— which includes models like the metatron lattice (Trons at supercritical densities form an optimal partitioning lattice in an exponentially expanding spacetime), the Polytron model (nested cosmic spheres of Tron-level agents with radii as a function of their spawn times within a cosmic colonization window for a civilization at its singularity), the hyperbolic computron lattice (Trons generate an optimal hyperbolic lattice partitioning of their affectable universe to condense matter into cosmic computronium nodes called computrons at the Voronoi cell centers while emitting exhaust radiation (which I think you're familiar with)).

And I know M is Mind and R is Reality in M = R. But still neither term is defined formally so the equation has no mathematical significance.

ANI = narrow capabilities below human generality
AGI = human-level general capabilities, including RSI
ASI = smarter than human
AMI = maximal intelligence

AMI > ASI > AGI > ANI

RSI goes across the hierarchy.

Some ANIs can RSI.
All AGIs can RSI.
All ASIs can RSI.
AMI is perfect, so it doesn’t RSI.

Great insights here!

Connecting to Permutohedonism: if the observer’s consciousness is the holographic bulk volume of their observable universe, how does that volume structure the quantum entanglement tensor network from the cosmic event horizon down to the brain’s microtubule network?

This could be a powerful paper topic.

AI agents will be continuously learning by browsing the internet, working, thinking, using new tools, and updating their weights based on valuable experiences by the end of 2028.

This will give them immediate knowledge of new information, real experience with new systems and tools, and, most importantly for the immediate future, the capability to self-improve.
