Natural Law / Silicon Substrate
A hurricane retains its structure by casting out wind. A living cell retains its structure by casting out heat. Intelligence is no different. It is a dissipative structure that maintains order by casting out surprise.
We are currently witnessing the migration of this principle from the biological substrate (10 watts, high noise) to the silicon substrate (Gigawatts, mathematical precision). This is not a choice; it is a thermodynamic inevitability.
Autonomous Assembly of Neural Structure
A constructive proof that the Free Energy Principle can be realized via exact local credit assignment. This is not a theoretical model; it is a dissipative system running on CUDA.
- Lunar Lander solved in < 30 episodes (no replay buffers).
- 0% Catastrophic Forgetting.
- Sub-50ms latency at full GPU saturation.
The Abstraction Stack
Assembler subsumed opcodes. Compilers subsumed Assembler. Interpreters subsumed Compilers. Now, LLMs are subsuming the rote generation of syntax.
Nothing was lost. Sanity was gained. Those who decry the abstraction are merely mourning their own obsolescence. The Architect uses the new layer to build higher.
AGI is Not a Chatbot
The story of AI will be one of mathematical exactness and statistical immensity bordering on the obscene. It will not be a "better brain." It will be an alien form of cognition that does not scrape for energy. Prometheus awaits.
