The Last Algorithm: Maps, Minds, and Monads Part I: Minds as Indivisible Monads or Emergent From Interconnected Mathematical Algorithms Chapter 1: Maps, Monads and Mathematics Definition of Maps, Monads & Algorithms Sujasha's map of the world and the map’s evolution along her journey from theist to determinist, first as a student of hinduism, second as a student of fluids, materials and mechanics, third as a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University, and finally as a DARPA r

In the 1970s, ethologist John B. Calhoun built a mouse utopia, an enclosure called Universe 25. Food, water, and nesting material were unlimited. Predators were gone. Disease was minimized. In raw material terms, it was paradise. Then the social world broke. As the population swelled, behavior warped. Some mice became hyper-aggressive. Others checked out completely. Mothers stopped mothering. Pups died. Mating became chaotic, then rare, then basically extinct. And the most ee

The below is a small excerpt from Chapter 3. The Brain: A System Architecture Review Calling the brain a computer isn’t a teaching trick for tech people. It’s a statement of ancestry. Long before we learned to carve logic gates into silicon wafers, evolution had already built a wet machine that could forecast outcomes, compress lived experience into memory, and replicate itself with brutal efficiency. Computation wasn’t invented. It was discovered. We stumbled onto it the sam

I created a YouTube playlist that pulls together ideas from ancient wisdom, modern neuroscience, and cutting-edge philosophy - all circling one surprisingly simple truth about reality and consciousness. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfCtC4yiDI_KwP_eAmV0eI99mhCUGJGfk&si=l84l8wiAg2NS64qX Across all these models (whether 4,000-year-old Vedic texts, 400-year-old philosophy, 40-year-old cognitive and dialectical-behavioral theories, or even 4-year-old ingressing-mind pointers

The meta-algorithm: the unifying principles that emerges from the four complex algorithms covered earlier: The Scientific Method, Life, Intelligence & Consciousness The following is another excerpt from Chapter 19: The Last Algorithm - Life is a Game... The meta-algorithm: the unifying principles that emerges from the four complex algorithms covered earlier: The Scientific Method, Life, Intelligence & Consciousness Synthesizing math, minds, and meaning Final thesis: “If life

From Survival to Flourishing Imagine waking up, stretching, and deciding whether you want to paint a mural, learn astrophysics, or just sit outside and vibe with your neighbors over coffee. No “adulting” dread. No bills stalking you like a loan shark. No calendar full of pointless errands that exist purely because society is badly designed. Just room to breathe. That world isn’t a fairy tale. It’s the logical endpoint of technology, psychology, and social evolution actually c

“The future is already here — it’s just not evenly distributed.” — William Gibson AI Alignment as the Civilizational Lever AI alignment isn’t just about preventing catastrophe. That’s the bare minimum, like saying seatbelts are “nice.” Alignment is about direction. It’s about making sure intelligence itself grows toward human flourishing instead of growing into a cold, perfectly optimized machine that keeps us alive while quietly stripping away everything that makes life wort

Let us start with something simple. You stub your toe on a coffee table. Hard. You hop around, curse the furniture, and briefly question your life choices. But pause the pain for a moment. Why does it hurt? Not in the biological sense of nerves and signals, but in the experiential sense. Why does your inner world light up with agony instead of quietly logging “damage detected”? That question sits at the heart of the hard problem of consciousness, first articulated by David Ch
