Anatomy of a Deep Fake
04/25/2022 at 13:40 • 0 commentsProducing something that convincingly looks like a first look at a look inside a gargantuan black hole that is not only swallowing stars but which might also reveal a naked singularity, in addition to a traversable wormhole is quite simple. First, substitute an ordinary LED flashlight for the "petawatt class laser capable of continuous operation" described in the instructions, i.e., in order to also satisfy the requirement that the project makes use of some kind of electrical components, even if it doesn't blink. Then use a 3-d printed gear from another project as an "optical diffuser" instead of the 1000 kilo-ton obsidian block which was previously suggested as a means of sorting entangled photons. If you can't obtain a "genuine host control" unit from "the Delos Corporation", ideally an unprogrammed "boron nitride doped diamond holographic processor", then just use any crystal or acrylic sphere, according to availability. Lastly, a pair of crystal earrings (even though only one is in use) makes an ideal secondary subspace evanescent field processor, that at least in principle - COULD ACTUALLY WORK as a single q-bi quantum processor.
In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed this NON PHOTOSHOPPED sneak preview of some kind of imaging provided by a not yet built future "electron telescope". For now, actually building ORAC is a bit beyond the scope of the budget for this project, but building it and documenting it was a lot of fun.

The Saga Continues
04/19/2022 at 13:09 • 0 commentsGetting some of the components together so as to finally begin assembling ORAC. Things that are always useful to keep on hand are of course things like:
1. Surplus flux capacitor,
2 Host Control Units (HCU) from the Delos Corporation (operators of Westworld), ideally unprogrammed.
3 Fissile Core.
4 Auxiliary Photonic Processor.
As has been previously stated in an earlier post, an "electron telescope" module has been successfully tested. Whether we can in the next phase of operations achieve fully tachyonic control of other machines, or else actually open up a pathway to either some kind of navigable worm-hole, or otherwise effect time-travel will depend on the efficiency of the actual components used.
Your mileage may vary. Not responsible for lost dog, missed bus transfer, rain on your parade, forgotten birthdays or anniversaries, or other causes and effects, whether as a consequence of temporal rift, ontological paradox, or whether or not Heisenberg's dog has fleas. You have been warned. For additional information, read the NDA.
To Be Continued ...

Developing genetic algorithms for Quantum AI
04/15/2022 at 18:02 • 0 commentsI took a piece of code that I wrote for drawing, as well as 3-d printing gears, and then in effect "cut" a gear in such a way that I could stretch the surface along an additional z-axis. Checking a chemistry textbook, I then implemented the correct number of "tooth faces" per turn as if they were the nucleotides per turn, according to the findings of Crick and Watson. Mating with a complementary strand, and voila, we have a representation of DNA!
Thinking about how hair is braided, that is, in a mathematical context, appears to be within reach, and there would be something very cool about this also, that is, within the context of special and general relativity, if we were to think of strands of hair as being like the "world lines" of particles moving about in some field as according to a classic essay by Albert Einstein.
I haven't quite gotten that far yet. Then again sometimes, it seems like history is just some stalagmite in the dripping course of time, and the whole thing is about to come crashing down if you know what I mean - in the context of world affairs. -
Ever try the Red Pill?
04/15/2022 at 07:45 • 0 commentsMoving beyond the trivialities of thermonuclear detonation, ordinary stellar ignition, and all of that schoolboy stuff - there are other fun areas for exploration, and no I am not talking about any of those trillion-trillion-carat diamond cores of some leftover red dwarf stars that seem to populate the galaxy like so much left-over pie crust.
No, let's contemplate something really exciting, like trying to traverse the wormhole that might be created if you can find a truly gargantuan black hole with just enough charge and spin so as to expose a so-called "naked singularity" And what if such a thing might just somehow expose, accordingly ... a double singularity, like what you would find if two neutron-stars could somehow be locked in a death spiral, like two serpents, each with a forked tongue, caught up somehow as if in a "devils embrace."
Can you imagine the effects of the tidal forces on the Hawking Radiation? And what if the universe turns out to be nothing more than just another hall of mirrors, which reveals a maze of moving pathways, where somehow, we have no choice but to introduce the Riemann Zeta function since they’re quite simply put, is no other function that will work - in this situation, that is, not only as a structure-function for our field theory but for all string theories in general.
Earlier, I mentioned that I would eventually like to be able to discuss the root causes of corruption and inequity in otherwise modern, civil societies; and yes we will be getting to that, eventually. Now if you think that “being locked somehow in a devil’s embrace”, is some kind of clue about things to come, then yes it is, but there is much more to it than that.
That is because, it is also important to remember that elements like gold and platinum are usually only formed from super-novae, yet I suspect that if strong enough tidal forces could be exerted upon the surface as well as the interior of a neutron star, that is by another large gravitating object – then mass ejections of hot dense neutron matter just might occur, which would of course rapidly deflagrate, leading to another possible pathway for the creation of heavy elements, including the aforementioned precious metals.
Now if these elements are gravitationally bound, then the unimaginable wealth that might be created thusly, as we have just imagined – anyway, might be ever so transitory, or otherwise fleeting. That is unless there is somewhere, just somehow lurking, some kind of opportunity, or other avenues for escape.
Suffice to say, we will get there soon enough. There is much more that needs to be discussed, however, in order to more fully develop a theory of corruption, which is not only epistemologically, but also theologically sound, this despite the fact that it should be possible to deduce a theory of corruption and of course, failure – purely on the basis of axiomatics, that is according to our rhetoric, and without any intrinsic need to proceed as according to some prescribed moral framework that has otherwise been handed down based upon tradition and authority.
Oh, and let us not forget the role of chaos, turbulence, and entanglements! Then after that, who knows? Kinks in General Relativity and their implications with respect to fields dominated by wet, dark energy? So much ever more fun awaits! Stay tuned!

The World Model
04/12/2022 at 12:13 • 0 commentsIn the introduction, I have presented the notion that concepts like "money", "investment theory", "wealth building", "financial success vs. failure", etc., can be understood within a context that is analogous to the design principles that are associated with nuclear weapons vs. nuclear power vs. stellar ignition, and so on.
I postulate, therefore, that a successful AI will need a high-quality world model, which, IMHO would have to include some type of framework for such things as relativity theory, as well as for logical constructs concerning some type of quantum loop gravity, etc. Such a framework would give also the program the ability to understand such things as how to braid hair, "understand" what DNA is, "imagine" Mobius loops, and all other such things that might otherwise require fluency with some type of 3D-CAD software – at least insofar as it is necessary to provide the AI the ability to formulate connection maps which are diffeomorphic to the geometrization of space-time.
Thus, is always interesting to contemplate the possibility that the Universe is actually just data, and that we are, of course, living in a simulation. Since this log entry pertains to some kind of contest, on a system that calls itself Hackday.io, that must of course present some kind of conundrum - and a very important one at that - and that is - how to "hack the system", and with what tools and materials shall we make for our best efforts. Do we fire up the De Lorean and head to the local hardware store and buy a few kilos of Plutonium and build a time machine? Or should we build a new type of quantum computer that can hopefully crack the Satoshi hoard? One of my favorite computers of all time, in science fiction, that is, was the machine "Orac" from the 70's British Sci-Fi series Blake's 7. Orac had some nice features, such as the ability to use (I think) tachyonic sub-space energy fields to control other computers. Maybe I will finally build Orac. Or maybe not quite yet. Rest assured that there WILL be some kind of hardware associated with this project, even if it turns out to be a simulation of a single quantum bit computer - it will at LEAST be able to sit there and blink!
The World Model still comes to mind. I really want to build something, eventually, that employs some form of speech recognition, and which can at least attempt to engage in "Eliza" type conversations with its users. To some extent, therefore, I suspect that the "power of narrative" must eventually enter into the equation, since a carefully written narrative can provide a VERY convincing interactive experience for the user, that is if one wants to believe that they are "interacting with some kind of sentient AI". Likewise, if I could introduce some kind of simulation of at least one aspect of any type of quantum computer - then that would also be a useful step in the right direction.
That would then lead to an AI, that is then built upon layers so that on top of loop gravity there might be another layer where everything is either Rat, Cat, or Cheese. That is unless you are a rat; or are something else. If you are a rat, then there is cheese, and there are mazes. There is also sex, and there are the mazes that lead to sex. There are also traps, and predators, and prey. There might be locked doors, or other barriers to one’s progress … whether one desires wine, cheese, sex, or sleep – or all of the above!
Everything is cheese! Everything is sex! Everything is Mazes! Or else there is rock, scissors, paper!
Even if all I do is procure an acrylic fish tank, add a Parallax propeller and some blinking LEDs, so that different LEDs will light up according to different "emotional states".
There is also the notion of survival.
