I just watched the movie Transcendent Man . In general it was a good documentary packing Ray Kurzweil's reflections on the exponential growth of evolution. Apart from talking about scientific predictions, there were a lot of human desires that were portrayed. Like Ray's obsession with  resurrecting some part of his father. At the end of the movie, as a conclusion, Ray was speaking about the explosion of intelligence in the Universe. I stayed for a couple of minutes, reiterating on what I have thought before and synchronizing it with what I saw in the film. I stopped at the idea of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) and its relevance to the Universe. All that evolution (or the Universe) has created up until now, we are gradually trying to compact it in our brains so that we can make predictions on what will happen next. We are, to our knowledge, the most flexible form of existence in our Universe. Being a bit limited though, we're looking for help to be able to do our...

We live in our Universe. We all study it and learn about it so that we can live in it. Human civilization systematized all knowledge into sciences like mathematics (from Greek: learning , study , science ), physics (from Greek: nature ), biology, chemistry, etc. The system of sciences is helping us understand where we are, but it is also enabling us to influence the World. The result? We have the Universe and our tiny, dense information structure called sciences. The Universe is "building" the sciences through us and gets influenced by the sciences through us. You can call the sciences, one dimension of our contribution as a society. You can also call the sciences a living organism that moves around and interacts with its environment. Here is an ugly sketch of the pyramid of influences: All the dots are in the Universe. The black ones are the inanimate objects. The red ones are the people on Earth. The blue ones are the objects of science. What is interesting to note here i...

The Universe. It's there. The mind is in the Universe. It's part of the Universe. It's the Universe. We make the abstraction that what we do is decided by us. Just as the Earth can think of herself as orbiting the Sun. Earth is part of the Universe, so are we. All is natural. AGI is in the Universe. It's part of the Universe. It's the Universe. We make the abstraction that if a computer does something that seems intelligent to us, it has a mind similar to ours. What is happening actually? What is all this mumbo jumbo? Can I please have another view on the matter? The U(niverse) can have virtual U(s) in it. The creators of those U(s) are the "thinkers". They make a dense representation of the U and act upon the real U "intelligently" according to their will. For example our knowledge is that dense representation. Our will is actually the next move that was given to us. But it was given by the same U. We cannot be intelligent and be part of the U. ...

It turns out that I have already written down some ideas on the matter: Развитието на Света (Еволюция) What (most) sciences are all about Biology, Sociology, Chemistry, History, Astrophysics, Physics... Evolution , Galaxy formation and evolution , Human evolution , Technological evolution (1)... Studying what is now, how it came to be and how it will change. How do you call this phenomenon: Universal evolution or General evolution? I think simply Evolution will do. Please fix Wikipedia's article on evolution and all those references to evolution theory concerning only living beings. Ervin László is said to be one of the men whose "goal was to explore whether it might be possible to use the chaos theory to identify a new general theory of evolution". He's the man behind the Akashic Field Theory which states that an informational field can explain why our universe appears to be fine-tuned as to form galaxies and conscious lifeforms; and why evolution is an informed,...
