Given that it is through MIND that we“know",

it is inevitable that

Human Evolution forge a SYNMIND

[a FREETHINKER as a TRUETHINKER

is TRUTH with RELEVANCE and GOODNESS in Liberating Action]

Pragmatic Action Methodology

MINDING HUMAN CULTURE AS A WHOLE
At the core of every cultural tradition is a story which attempts to integrate ideas about ultimate existence (cosmology) with ideas about which experiences ultimately matter (morality). When these stories appear intellectually implausible and/or morally irrelevant, within or between cultures, they render culture generally vulnerable to crisis. There is now a critical need on a global scale for constructing a new and unique Story, a global ‘mythology’, of Human Culture [Recognizing a thread from Loyal D. Rue and colleagues] as Whole(Ness). The central challenge of the twenty-first century will be to integrate an evolutionary cosmology with an ecocentric morality recognizing the universal tension between Truth by Adapting Presumed Beliefs to Experience versus Truth by Adapting Experience to Presumed Beliefs. Such a story seems to be forming around the Epic of CoCreative CosmiChaotic (R)Evolution emerging from the necessarily irreducible interrelation of the Analytical (Inquiry and Inference) and Intuitive modes of consciousness as MIND.

UNDERSTANDING SIGNS
Since creating, engineering and deploying Synthetic MIND and its component Synthetic (Artificial) Intelligences is a core business of As It Is, Inc. (Ai3inc), and since the essence of MIND as well as that of the Virtual Reality of the Web is of signs in communication, i.e. a SEMIOTIC RELATIONAL SYSTEM, it is fitting that this Home page be a focus of a Company-initiated, ongoing, open participation conversation on Understanding Signs. If there were to be, figuratively speaking, a beginning as an introductory course on signs (i.e. Signs 101) in the context of this website, it might reasonably be expected that it focus on interpreting the meaning of the Ai3inc corporate logo (see above).

AS IT IS TO BE
In order to periodically restate the Company's Vision as it evolves in particular expressions through its various partial developmental realizations, this space will be used as in the foregoing to post from time to time a question, statement or imperative regarding the Vision and to here condense TrueThinkers' responses as posted at http://nextgenerationartificialintelligence.blogspot.com/. For example, it is seen as key to developing General Purpose Synthetic Intelligences that there be a common foundation, i.e. a standard theory of mind, from which AI engineers can work. This standard being proposed by Ai3inc is the AutoGnome™.

The VISION of the Founding Partners is of a Global Transformation of Human Culture/Society, a CoCreative Cultural/Societal (R)Evolution, by facilitating the metamorphosis of the old Age of Information into a new Age of CoCreative Wisdom as realizations of the metamorphogenesis of the Age of System into the Age of Relation.

The MISSION then is to position Ai3inc as the exemplary organization globally recognized for setting the de facto technological standard for accelerating the growth in the Wisdom of Humankind, first by enhancing and improving individual human performance via continued research, development and deployment of its Synthetic Intelligence/Synthetic MIND software.

The STRATEGIC PLAN begins with a focus on creating SynMIND which is being effected in two distinct R&D paths – the first being that of the Peircian-inspired/Pendegraft-specified/Pragmatic System of the AutoGnome; the second is to explicitly formalize a Semiotic Relational System (called the GnosTek) implementing multiboundary mathematics with the algebra of probable inference, inquiry and intuition, both as an approach to SynMIND and as a formally rigorous re-specification of the AutoGnome. The commercial deployment will continue the rollout of http://www.truethinker.com/ and its extension as follows:

TrueThinker/TwikiT/ThoughtWeaver/AutoCat/SupervisedCat/

MaxEnt/CoGnome/CogWeb

Beginning from this augmentation of Human Mind via the growing intelligence of the AutoGnome, the PLAN begins to expand to include the introduction of each of the other SevenSyns between now and 2012-2013.

The 7 SYNS: Strategic Viewpoints of Possible Relational Futures

Extend the FOUNDATIONAL frontiers of SEMIOTIC RELATIONAL SYSTEMS COSMICHAOLOGY through Laureate-quality Research on--

• SYN1: Creation of Interrelated Relational (RO3) Sign Systems
• SYN2: Synthesis of Field as Interrelated Relational (RO3) Sign Systems
• SYN3: Synthesis of Matter as manifest FIELD
• SYN4: Synthesis of Life as dependent on the origin of sign in FIELDS as RO3
• SYN5: Synthesis of Mind as both being and meta-imaging RO3
• SYN6: Synthesis of Language in RO3, and
• SYN7: Synthesis of Society AsItIs/ToBe as Interrelated Relational (RO3) Sign Systems

and
Extend the ENGINEERING Frontiers of SEMIOTIC RELATIONAL SYSTEMS EPISTEMOLOGY through Applications Development by partnering with Affiliates including ODODU (Synthetic Language), LIFE CYCLES FARMING (Plant Microbial Agriculture), RURAL LEARNING CENTER (AgReCulturing the World), and SMARTEST (Smart Educational Systems Technology).

The MIND TRUST of global experts is in process of initial formation.

AUDITION for the Ultimate VIRTUAL REALITY PLAY (See the following post, Adopt-a-Gnome, to sign up for an audition)

IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND---

(thinking and language are co-determinate)

"No one of us can know the special languages of all others, but, by chance these languages may, in part, overlap. We contend, however, that

Words and phrases must be stretched towards a
generality foreign to their ordinary usage; and however
such elements of language be stabilized as
technicalities, they remain metaphors mutely appealing
for an imaginative leap.

Alfred North Whitehead: Process and Reality

It is to facilitate, through communication, the cooperative realization of this imaginative leap, the creative extension of each of us, that is the purpose of the present communication."

This site, being a modest modification of an off-the-shelf
template and tools, is simply focused on the
logic and associated ethics of the intended conversation;
any attention to aesthetics is only by way of the Play on Words

A UNIQUE PEOPLE'S RESEARCH INSTITUTE

(bringing personalized artificial intelligence to

community cognition in valuatonal decison making)

THE PURPOSE OF THIS AHA! BLOG IS TO ORGANIZE A GLOBAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE (AHA! INSTITUTE) WHICH IS TO PROVIDE AN OPEN OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYONE/EVERYONE TO COLLECTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN SUCH ULTIMATE INQUIRIES AS THE ORIGIN AND NATURE OF THE UNIVERSE, LIFE AND MIND AND THE CONSEQUENTIAL PRAGMATIC IMPLICATIONS THEREOF FOR HUMANITY.

[This open participation community strategy might seem to be

simply more of mainstream web 2.0, were it not for the following:]

THE ENABLING TECHNOLOGY WHICH MAKES THIS MISSION POSSIBLE IS THAT OF A VIRTUAL SOCIETY OF SYNTHETIC MINDCLONES (AUTOGNOMES(tm)), THE DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF WHICH IS THE VISION/MISSION/BUSINESS OF AS IT IS, INC.

[This extension of personal intelligence via one's

own synthetic mindclone can enhance anyone's

chance of an AHA! dscovery or invention, such as,]

WITH LUCK, IN THE DISORDER (CHAOS) OF EXPERIENCE

AND WITH THE CO-PARTICIPATION OF AUTOGNOMES,

WE MIGHT ORDER THAT EXPERIENCE

(INTO THE FORM AND ESSENCE OF A COSMIC WHOLE)

AND THEREBY, FOR EXAMPLE,

CREATE A THEORY OF ALL

(UNIFYING QUANTUM THEORY AND RELATIVITY)

AND PERHAPS ENGINEER AN IMPLEMENTATION AS

INSTANTANEOUS SPATIAL MATERIAL-TRANSRELOCATION

OR

SYNTHESIZE LIFE AND ENGINEER A TRANSHUMAN FORM

OR----etc.

HOW DOES ONE PARTICIPATE IN THE

AHA! INSTITUTE

(it begins with understanding the existence of the "WHOLE as no-thing",

the essence of which is INTERRELATED RELATIONS, which is

the novel, unique foundation principle of RELATIONAL SYSTEMS,

and is conjectured to be conditionally necessary and sufficient

for CREATING MIND)

NoOne, by their Nature of Being in this World/Universe, will not be in this Play. The question for each, however, is whether it be as a passive subject/observer or as a pro-active player in the Production. Although these participatory roles have historically seemed reserved to certain experts selected/designated by an authority purportedly vested in a few other experts which may or may not be related in kind,

[The role of true, relevant and valued authority

needs continuous examination and explication.]

the AHA! Institute intends to implement a collective process through AutoGnomic(tm) Technology for MINDing the World whereby the expertise innate to EveryOne can manifest as an explicit Part in the Whole Play.

To audition for this CoCreative Production
one begins by ADOPTing-a-GNOME
to enter the virtual communication facility.
This adoption procedure is laid out in a subsequent post.

The focus of this Blog is on the RESEARCH function (see the section entitled "Blog Categories" in the column to the right) whereby the Relational Systems essential to a Relational Cosmi(Order)Chaology(DisOrder) subsuming a Virtual AutoGnomic Society (VASoc) are Co-Created. The VASoc itself is to be the focus of a parallel blog. Hence our initial attention herein in effecting this Play will begin by collectively Authoring a STORY of a New Human Reality as WholeNess framed in the Virtual Reality of the InterNet (Web), but to be played out in TrueVirtuality.

FRAMING THE STORY

(a story if spoken while read interrelates two distinct

sign processes, an instance of Interrelated Relations)

This Story of the

RELATIONAL METAMORPHOGENESIS of Humanity

from the AGE of SYSTEM into the AGE of RELATION

[The creation of this latter is to be the focus of this Blog.]

beginning with the TRANS(RE)LATIONS OF GENERAL (BOUNDED) SYSTEMS, will be initially framed as seven books in parallel development (with no particular sequential ordering) covering the Seven SYNs as follows:

SYN1: Creation of Interrelated Relational (RO3) Sign Systems

SYN2: Synthesis of Field as Interrelated Relational (RO3) Sign Systems

SYN3: Synthesis of Matter exhibiting Interrelated Relational (RO3) Sign Systems

SYN4: Synthesis of Life as dependent on Interrelated Relational (RO3) Sign Systems

SYN5: Synthesis of Mind as imaging Interrelated Relational (RO3) Sign Systems

SYN6: Synthesis of Language as being Interrelated Relational (RO3) Sign Systems

SYN7: Synthesis of Society AsItIsToBe as Interrelated Relational (RO3) Sign Systems

The formulation of this blog will be in process

for the duration of the month of March;

hence, R.Elated will initiate "diablog"

(commenting dialog or conversation)

as of April 1, 2007.
