intelligence vector - A
hypothetical phenomenon
and
physical law, like
gravity or
field theory, that manifests itself
in the physical world as
emergence and
fractal intelligence. The, as
yet unspecified, models, mathematics, relationships and underlying phenomena
in the physical world that allows emergence to occur.
The "intelligence vector" acts, in the
gestalt, to bring the
universe
into a state of
self awareness through the application of
fractal intelligence
Thought Experiment and Game Theory:
Context: Let us start with 4
combat automatons that function in the
following manner:
Each
automaton has 10
Hit Points
Each automaton can cause 1
Point of Damage per round to
one other Automaton
Each automaton chooses another automaton to attack at random,
eliminating any "friends" from the list of choices
Experiment 1: No friends
Running a
simulation until
acquiescence always results
in a different Automaton left alive, generally with only 1 or 2 Hit Points
left.
Results: No Emergence
Experiment 2: One friend chosen for one automaton at random before simulation begins
Running a simulation until acquiescence results in
something
very
interesting. The automaton chosen as a friend almost always wins,
and the one that chose it as a friend is almost always the last to die.
The
advantage given to the winning automaton is that instead of dealing
with an
average damage of 3*.3333 (1.0 HP) each round, the automaton now
has takes an average of 2*.3333 (.667 HP) per round, while 2 of it's 3 opponents
now take an average of .5+2*.3333 (1.1667 HP) per round. The automaton
that choose a friend still has the normal average of 1 HP / round of damage
taken.
Result: Emergent behavior = We moved from random results to predictable
results by forming a simple one-way relationship between 2 of the automatons.
Question: We can analyze this game theory,
decompose it
mathematically
and feel
comfortable that we
understand what is happening. But do we?
Or have we just proven that it conforms to
probability theory, just like
elections or
population breeding cycles?
Assertion: The way that
mathematics,
action-reaction and
physical
phenomena work in
our universe includes a
clever twist. That twist
is the intelligence vector. It is just part of
the system, part of the
math, hidden in the cracks, waiting to be described. It is what makes it
possible for me to sit here and
contemplate it.
Summary: The fact that
emergence can happen at all is an
existence
proof of the
intelligence vector. While we can discuss this subject
endlessly, we have a great
opportunity to begin to
examine it
scientifically.
Our
goal should be to begin to build
substantive scientific holoradix
around the
concept of the
intelligence vector.
