Knowledge as the Elixir of Life: Reconciling Eastern and Western Philosophies through Mindful Machines

Summary This paper proposes a reconciliation between Eastern and Western philosophies of life, mind, and existence through the emerging paradigm of Mindful Machines. Rooted in the General Theory of Information (Burgin), the Burgin–Mikkilineni Thesis, Deutsch’s epistemic reasoning, and Skye Hill’s Fold Theory, the Mindful Machine framework interprets computation as an autopoietic, knowledge-driven process of self-organization.Continue reading “Knowledge as the Elixir of Life: Reconciling Eastern and Western Philosophies through Mindful Machines”

Distributed Machine Intelligence with Associative Memory and Event-Driven Interaction History

Here is another essay (a short piece of writing) on exploring distributed artificial intelligence, the role of General theory of Information in understanding intelligent systems, how biological systems utilize autopoietic and meta-cognitive behaviors, and speculations on the future of machine intelligence.I was pleasantly surprised with this essay prepared by Microsoft copilot. Only the pictures addedContinue reading “Distributed Machine Intelligence with Associative Memory and Event-Driven Interaction History”

Information, Knowledge, Consciousness, The General Theory of Information, and All That Jazz

The Jazz metaphor of transitions from thesis, anti-thesis, and Synthesis is appropriate to describe our understanding of consciousness.

An autopoietic system is a network of processes that produces the components that reproduce the network, and that also regulates the boundary conditions necessary for its ongoing existence as a network.

Cognition is associated with intent and its accomplishment through various processes that monitor and control a system and its environment. Cognition is associated with a sense of “self” (the observer) and the systems with which it interacts (the environment or the “observed”). Cognition extensively uses time and history in executing and regulating tasks that constitute a cognitive process.
