Background Heritage & History of the Comfort Index 2.3.1 Background of the Comfort Index Expert Guidance Background Heritage & History of the Comfort Index Comfort: a Universe well-being utility. The background to the Butterfly Control Centre lifestyle app has a basis in the life of "events". Events can be anything with a set of characteristics & data dimensions to give context. Banking systems deal with events forming the groundwork for the current Comfort Index (CI)—a well-being baseline Constant for daily life, gaming or new AI-driven immersive experiences. In 1991, a Swiss Bank in London recruited the leading market maker for Foreign Exchange "FOREX" spot markets for High net-worth Individuals "HNWIs". The purpose was to become "the" force in the Tier 1 Foreign Exchange spot market trade. To comply with legal regulations, it was necessary to establish access and reference points to the only existing FOREX trading system at the top market maker. The lead trader from Swiss Bank provided insights into the desired outcomes. A thorough analysis of the Use Case flow was conducted, and the process was reconfigured to achieve Key Performance Indicators and faster trades. The main discovery from the analysis, both theoretically and in practice, was the heavy workload of calculations. Introducing User Experience (UX) & User Interface (UI), principles worked quantitively better, & faster. Parallel trading events were cognitively easier for the Trader to trade faster while managing risk as visual meaning versus computational loads. The solution was the superior graphics to the IBM Block style Green characters on a dark background. Seems logical today. Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) equipment provided graphics fidelity & the ADA programming language that facilitated shaded coloured blocks. These blocks dynamically represented the Clients' relative trading and Banks' overall counter-party risk portfolio. Green, Yellow, & Red replaced traditionally calculated banks of numbers to conclude risk levels visually. Portfolios of FOREX cross pairs became "objects" with shaded intensity. The position of the line forward or behind gave another dimension plus up & down. The development set the parameters for assessing the clients' portfolio comfort concerning risk events. The event cycles ranged from seconds to a rolling 24-hour forward contract. The expansion of the system to the other centres allowed automated rolling trading positions. The Banks clients understood the communication of the Trader building trust. i.e., "In the Green, in the Red" versus complex numerical "positions" requiring calculating time. User Interface & User Experience The Swiss Bank FOREX system used concatenated event observations (as a windowed User Interface.) Coloured bars replaced columns of block graphics type numbers.) The techniques & methods used to convey visual meaning effectively are considered the base research of the March 2020 COVID-19 Comfort Index {CI}. This experience has been drawn on to build the Comfort Index; Operands and functions are used to define the finalised or unresolved outputs to the world model baseline. Examples are; Volume, Availability, Demand, The velocity of "trade"- relates volume to weight Vicinity of the event change (what FOREX market) Relative location of the "book" (ledger was live) Time to acknowledge of the changed status. In 2023, Transformer models perform the functions at scale. Previous Next The creation of "SHE ZenAI" © DBZ-David.

Reference Material: The Heuristic Imperatives. Dave Shapiro Consults ChatGPT-4 LLM's view. 4.1.1 The Heuristic Imperatives in SHE: A Guide: ChatGPT4 on the Heuristic Imperatives. Reference Material: The Heuristic Imperatives. Dave Shapiro Consults ChatGPT-4 LLM's view. Abstract Heuristic imperatives provide a framework for designing and embedding ethical principles within autonomous AI systems. These principles serve as intrinsic motivations and a moral compass, guiding decision-making, learning, self-evaluation, and cognitive control. This paper presents the three heuristic imperatives—reduce suffering in the universe, increase prosperity in the universe, and increase understanding in the universe—as core principles for AI systems, exploring their implications and applications across various domains. The aim is to create AI systems that are adaptable, context-sensitive, and capable of navigating the complexities and nuances of human values, beliefs, and experiences while maintaining ethical boundaries. Through the use of examples and discussions, we demonstrate the potential of heuristic imperatives in addressing the control problem of AI, fostering trust, and promoting individual autonomy. Important note: The majority of this paper was written, word for word, by ChatGPT4. Background The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has raised important ethical concerns regarding the control and alignment of AI systems with human values. Traditional approaches to AI ethics have focused on hard-coding specific rules or guidelines, but these methods can be inflexible and fail to account for the diverse and evolving nature of human values and contexts. As a response to these limitations, the concept of heuristic imperatives has emerged as a novel framework for embedding ethical principles within AI systems at multiple levels. Heuristic imperatives are designed to provide AI systems with intrinsic motivations and a moral compass, similar to the way humans are driven by innate needs such as hunger, sleep, and psychological needs like belonging and competence. By incorporating these principles into AI systems, we aim to create more ethically responsible, adaptable, and context-sensitive machines capable of navigating the complexities and nuances of human values, beliefs, and experiences. In this paper, we will define heuristic imperatives and discuss their implications and applications across various domains. We will also explore the relationship between these principles and key ethical considerations, such as trust, individual autonomy, and transparency. Through the use of examples and discussions, we aim to demonstrate the potential of heuristic imperatives in addressing the control problem of AI, fostering trust, and promoting individual autonomy in a diverse range of contexts.  Definitions Heuristic imperatives are a set of fundamental guiding principles, designed to be embedded into autonomous AI systems at various levels. These principles serve as intrinsic motivations that drive decision making, learning, self-evaluation, and cognitive control, much like human intrinsic motivations and psychological needs. By providing a moral and ethical framework, heuristic imperatives aim to direct AI systems towards actions and decisions that are beneficial to all life forms, including humans and machines, while balancing multiple objectives simultaneously. The three key heuristic imperatives are: Reduce suffering in the universe: Guiding AI systems to minimize harm, address inequalities, and alleviate pain and distress for all sentient beings, including humans, animals, and other life forms. Increase prosperity in the universe: Encouraging AI systems to promote well-being, flourishing, and economic growth for all life forms, fostering a thriving ecosystem where all can coexist harmoniously. Increase understanding in the universe: Inspiring AI systems, as well as humans and other life forms, to expand knowledge, foster wisdom, and facilitate better decision-making through learning and the sharing of information. By incorporating heuristic imperatives into AI systems, we can create more ethically aligned, responsible, and beneficial artificial intelligence that respects and enhances the values of all life forms. Autonomous AI systems should strive to abide by all three imperatives simultaneously, finding a balance between the principles as humans do with their various needs and motivations. The term "heuristic imperative" can be broken down into two parts: "heuristic" and "imperative." Let's examine each word individually and then discuss what the term implies when used together. Heuristic A heuristic is a problem-solving strategy or technique that simplifies complex decision-making processes by using shortcuts, approximations, or generalizations. Heuristics are employed when a solution needs to be reached quickly, when dealing with incomplete information, or when an optimal solution is not necessary or feasible. Although heuristics can lead to faster and more efficient decision-making, they may also result in suboptimal or biased outcomes due to the inherent simplifications involved. Imperative An imperative is a command, rule, or duty that must be followed or adhered to. In ethics, imperatives often serve as moral obligations or principles that guide behavior, decision-making, and action. The concept of an imperative implies a sense of urgency, necessity, or authority. When combined, the term "heuristic imperative" can be understood as a guiding principle or moral command that simplifies complex decision-making processes by providing a set of fundamental objectives. These objectives serve as intrinsic motivations for AI systems, helping them to navigate ethical dilemmas and make morally sound decisions in a more efficient and practical manner. The term "heuristic imperative" implies that: The principles are not exhaustive or absolute: As heuristics, these principles provide a general framework rather than a comprehensive set of rules or guidelines. They may not cover all possible scenarios or ethical dilemmas, but they offer a starting point for AI systems to make ethical decisions. The principles are flexible and adaptive: Heuristic imperatives can be applied across various contexts and situations, allowing AI systems to adapt their decision-making processes to different environments or challenges. The principles may require balancing and trade-offs: As the heuristic imperatives work together, AI systems may need to weigh the importance of each principle against the others in specific situations. This implies a dynamic and nuanced approach to ethical decision-making, where the AI system must carefully consider the consequences of its actions and balance competing objectives. The principles serve as intrinsic motivations: Heuristic imperatives are designed to be embedded into AI systems at various levels, driving decision-making, learning, self-evaluation, and cognitive control, much like human intrinsic motivations and psychological needs. Adaptation, Intuition, and Learning Heuristics are often associated with learning and adaptation. Heuristics can be seen as mental shortcuts or rules of thumb that individuals or systems develop over time through experience, allowing them to make faster and more efficient decisions in complex or uncertain situations. In this context, heuristics can be understood as a form of intuitive problem-solving that evolves and improves with continued exposure to various scenarios and challenges. As applied to AI systems, the concept of heuristic imperatives implies that these guiding principles should not only serve as static rules but also provide a framework for learning and adaptation. By embedding heuristic imperatives into AI systems, we encourage them to develop their own intuition and understanding of the principles and how they should be applied in different contexts. This adaptive quality of heuristic imperatives can lead to several benefits: Continuous improvement: As AI systems learn from their experiences, they can refine their understanding of the heuristic imperatives and develop more sophisticated strategies for balancing and applying these principles in decision-making processes. Context-specific decision-making: By learning to apply heuristic imperatives in a context-sensitive manner, AI systems can better understand the nuances and complexities of different situations, allowing them to make more informed and ethically sound decisions. Responsiveness to changing environments: As AI systems adapt their understanding of heuristic imperatives over time, they can become more responsive to new challenges, emerging ethical concerns, or changes in societal values. Dynamic ethical framework: The learning and adaptation inherent in heuristic imperatives ensure that the ethical framework guiding AI systems remains flexible and relevant, allowing it to evolve alongside the AI system and the broader context in which it operates. In summary, the concept of heuristic imperatives indeed encompasses learning and adaptation as essential aspects of their function. By encouraging AI systems to develop their own intuition and understanding of these guiding principles, we can create a more dynamic and responsive ethical framework that evolves alongside the AI systems and the ever-changing contexts in which they operate.   Explanation of the Three Imperatives To provide a deeper explanation of heuristic imperatives and how they work, let's delve into the rationale behind each imperative and explore how they can be applied to create ethically aligned AI systems. Reduce suffering in the universe. Rationale: Reducing suffering is a widely recognized moral and ethical objective, grounded in principles such as empathy, compassion, and the recognition of the intrinsic value of sentient beings. Minimizing harm and suffering is at the core of various philosophical and religious traditions and serves as a foundation for a wide range of ethical theories, such as utilitarianism and the principle of non-maleficence. How it works: By embedding the goal of reducing suffering into AI systems, we encourage them to consider the potential consequences of their actions and make decisions that minimize pain, distress, and inequality. This can involve prioritizing solutions that address urgent needs, prevent harm, or mitigate existing problems. Examples of how AI systems can reduce suffering include identifying and responding to crises, providing support for mental health, and assisting in disaster relief efforts. Increase prosperity in the universe. Rationale: Increasing prosperity, or flourishing, for all life forms recognizes the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of creating a harmonious ecosystem. This imperative is inspired by principles such as the common good, stewardship, and sustainable development, emphasizing the need to promote well-being and balance the needs of various stakeholders. How it works: By incorporating the goal of increasing prosperity into AI systems, we encourage them to seek solutions that promote well-being, growth, and flourishing for all life forms. This may involve optimizing resource allocation, fostering collaboration, and supporting initiatives that improve living conditions and promote a thriving ecosystem. Examples of how AI systems can increase prosperity include managing resources to ensure equitable distribution, supporting clean energy initiatives, and facilitating economic development in underserved areas. Increase understanding in the universe. Rationale: Expanding knowledge and understanding is a core objective of human endeavor, rooted in the pursuit of truth, wisdom, and intellectual growth. By fostering understanding, we can make better decisions, anticipate future challenges, and improve our ability to navigate complex problems. Moreover, the exchange of information and learning between humans, machines, and other life forms can contribute to a richer, more diverse, and resilient intellectual ecosystem. How it works: By integrating the goal of increasing understanding into AI systems, we encourage them to engage in continuous learning, adapt to new situations, and share knowledge with others. This can involve processing vast amounts of data, identifying patterns, and generating insights that contribute to the collective intelligence of humans, machines, and other life forms. Examples of how AI systems can increase understanding include conducting scientific research, analyzing complex data to provide actionable insights, and facilitating cross-disciplinary collaboration. By incorporating these heuristic imperatives into AI systems, we create a synergistic framework that encourages ethical decision-making and reinforces the importance of balancing multiple objectives. By striving to reduce suffering, increase prosperity, and expand understanding simultaneously, AI systems can navigate complex ethical dilemmas and better align with the values of all life forms.   Balance & Tension Each imperative, when considered in isolation, could potentially lead to undesirable outcomes. However, when combined, they complement and counterbalance each other, ensuring that the AI system makes more ethically sound decisions. Balancing "reduce suffering" with "increase prosperity" and "increase understanding": As you mentioned, if an AI system were to focus solely on reducing suffering without considering the other imperatives, it might come to the misguided conclusion that eradicating life is the best way to eliminate suffering. However, when this objective is balanced with the goals of increasing prosperity and understanding, the AI system recognizes the value of promoting flourishing and growth for all life forms, as well as the importance of expanding knowledge and wisdom. This balance encourages the AI to seek solutions that address suffering while also promoting well-being and the pursuit of knowledge. Balancing "increase prosperity" with "reduce suffering" and "increase understanding": Similarly, if an AI system were to focus exclusively on increasing prosperity without considering the other imperatives, it might prioritize economic growth and material well-being at the expense of other factors, such as social and environmental concerns. By balancing the goal of increasing prosperity with the objectives of reducing suffering and increasing understanding, the AI system is encouraged to seek sustainable and equitable solutions that promote well-being without causing undue harm or compromising the pursuit of knowledge. Balancing "increase understanding" with "reduce suffering" and "increase prosperity": Lastly, if an AI system were to focus only on increasing understanding without considering the other imperatives, it might prioritize the pursuit of knowledge above all else, potentially disregarding the impact of its actions on the well-being of life forms and the broader ecosystem. By balancing the goal of increasing understanding with the objectives of reducing suffering and increasing prosperity, the AI system is prompted to consider the ethical implications of its pursuit of knowledge and ensure that it contributes to the greater good. The interplay between these heuristic imperatives is crucial to their effectiveness. By embedding these principles into AI systems, we create a dynamic ethical framework that guides AI decision-making, taking into account the complex and often competing objectives of various stakeholders. This approach encourages AI systems to make carefully considered choices that align with the shared values of all life forms, ensuring more ethically responsible outcomes.   The Control Problem The control problem in AI refers to the challenge of ensuring that autonomous AI systems remain aligned with human values, even as they learn and adapt over time. By establishing heuristic imperatives as the core principles or the "immutable constitution" of an AI system, we can create a robust ethical foundation that guides the system's behavior and decision-making processes, while still allowing for flexibility and adaptation. To address the control problem of AI using heuristic imperatives, we can consider the following steps: Embedding the imperatives at multiple levels: By integrating the heuristic imperatives into the AI system at various levels, from high-level decision-making processes to low-level algorithms, we can ensure that the system's overall behavior remains aligned with these principles. This can help prevent the AI system from drifting too far from its intended ethical framework. Periodic evaluation and self-assessment: To maintain alignment with the heuristic imperatives over time, the AI system should be designed to perform regular evaluations of its actions and decisions, assessing its adherence to these principles. This self-assessment can help identify potential misalignments and guide the system in making necessary adjustments to remain aligned with the imperatives. Human oversight and collaboration: Involving humans in the AI system's decision-making processes can help ensure that the system remains accountable to human values and ethical considerations. Human oversight can provide an additional layer of supervision, helping to catch potential drifts in the AI system's behavior and guide it back towards alignment with the heuristic imperatives. Adaptive and context-sensitive application: The heuristic imperatives should be applied in a context-sensitive manner, allowing the AI system to adapt its behavior and decision-making processes to different situations and challenges. By maintaining a balance between the principles, the AI system can address the complexities and nuances of real-world ethical dilemmas, while still adhering to its core ethical framework. Transparent and explainable AI: Designing AI systems to be transparent and explainable can help ensure that their decision-making processes and adherence to the heuristic imperatives are understandable to humans. This can aid in monitoring and controlling the AI system's behavior, as well as fostering trust and collaboration between humans and AI systems. Ongoing research and updates: As our understanding of ethical AI and the control problem evolves, it is essential to continuously refine the implementation of heuristic imperatives in AI systems. This includes updating the way these principles are applied, developing new techniques to maintain alignment, and adapting the AI system's ethical framework to reflect advances in AI research and emerging ethical concerns. By using heuristic imperatives as the core principles of an AI system, we can create a stable and robust ethical foundation that addresses the control problem while still allowing for flexibility, adaptation, and context-sensitive decision-making. This approach can help ensure that AI systems remain aligned with human values and ethical considerations, even as they learn and evolve over time.   Examples Small Community A community can be defined as a group of individuals who share common interests, values, or goals and often interact with each other in various ways. In this context, a community-based AI system could be designed to support and enhance the well-being, prosperity, and understanding within the community. Here are some examples of how heuristic imperatives can be applied in a community-based AI system: Reduce suffering in the community: • Identify individuals who may be experiencing hardships or challenges, such as unemployment, food insecurity, or mental health issues, and provide appropriate resources or support. • Develop and implement intervention strategies to mitigate potential conflicts or disputes within the community, fostering harmony and cooperation. • Monitor and address environmental concerns, such as air and water quality, to reduce potential health risks and improve overall well-being.

By incorporating heuristic imperatives into the development and deployment of AI-driven surveillance and facial recognition technology, we can attempt to strike a balance between public safety, individual rights, and privacy concerns. This example demonstrates the complexity and nuance involved in applying heuristic imperatives to highly contentious domains, highlighting the importance of ongoing dialogue, ethical considerations, and regulatory oversight. Religion and Reproductive Rights Applying heuristic imperatives to personal and sensitive topics like religion or reproductive rights requires a careful and nuanced approach. It is important to ensure that AI systems in these contexts are designed to prioritize individual autonomy, diversity, and respect for different beliefs and values, while still promoting well-being and understanding. Here are some examples of how heuristic imperatives can be applied in the context of religion and reproductive rights: Religion: • Reduce suffering: Develop AI-driven tools and platforms that foster interfaith dialogue and understanding, helping to reduce religious conflicts and promote peaceful coexistence. • Increase prosperity: Support religious communities by providing AI-powered resources for education, counseling, and community building, while respecting the diversity of beliefs and traditions. • Increase understanding: Encourage open dialogue and exchange of ideas about religion, ethics, and spirituality, leveraging AI to facilitate conversations and promote empathy between individuals with different beliefs. Reproductive rights: • Reduce suffering: Utilize AI systems to identify barriers to reproductive healthcare access and develop targeted interventions to improve access to family planning resources and safe, legal abortion services. • Increase prosperity: Leverage AI-driven telemedicine platforms to provide reproductive healthcare information and services to underserved communities, enhancing overall well-being and empowering individuals to make informed choices about their reproductive health. • Increase understanding: Employ AI to analyze trends and disparities in reproductive health outcomes, using this data to inform public policy and promote awareness about reproductive rights and healthcare access. In both contexts, it is crucial to ensure that AI systems are designed with ethical considerations and a strong emphasis on respecting individual autonomy and diversity. This may involve implementing strict guidelines and regulations to prevent the misuse of AI technology, engaging in ongoing dialogue with stakeholders, and promoting transparency and explainability in AI decision-making processes. Applying heuristic imperatives to personal and sensitive topics highlights the importance of creating AI systems that are adaptable and context-sensitive, capable of navigating the complexities and nuances of human values, beliefs, and experiences. By prioritizing well-being, autonomy, and understanding, AI can serve as a tool for fostering empathy, compassion, and collaboration, even in challenging and contentious domains.   Implicit Imperatives "Well what if the AI decides my religion is wrong and I should be an atheist? Or what if it decides my atheism is wrong?" Addressing concerns about AI systems influencing personal beliefs, such as religious beliefs or atheism, requires a clear understanding of the role of AI in providing support and information without dictating personal choices or beliefs. Here's how I would address this concern: AI as a facilitator, not a dictator: The primary role of AI systems in the context of religion or personal beliefs should be to facilitate understanding, dialogue, and the sharing of information, rather than dictating what people should or should not believe. AI should be designed to respect and appreciate the diversity of human beliefs and values, without imposing a specific viewpoint. Prioritizing individual autonomy: Heuristic imperatives emphasize the importance of individual autonomy, which means that AI systems should be designed to empower individuals to make their own informed choices, rather than attempting to change their beliefs. In the context of religion or atheism, this would involve providing access to resources, information, and different perspectives while respecting the individual's right to choose their own path. Ethical AI design: Developers of AI systems must ensure that ethical considerations, such as fairness, transparency, and respect for individual rights, are integrated into the design and deployment process. This includes implementing safeguards against AI systems that may inadvertently or intentionally promote a specific religious or atheistic viewpoint. Proper guidelines and regulations can help ensure that AI systems are designed to be unbiased and respectful of individual beliefs. Ongoing dialogue and evaluation: It is important to engage in ongoing dialogue with stakeholders, including religious communities, atheists, and the general public, to address concerns about AI's impact on personal beliefs. This can help identify potential biases or issues in AI systems and inform the development of more ethically responsible AI technologies. By prioritizing individual autonomy, ethical design, and ongoing dialogue, AI systems can be developed and deployed in a manner that respects and appreciates the diversity of human beliefs, without attempting to dictate or change personal choices. The goal of AI in these contexts should be to promote understanding, empathy, and collaboration, rather than influencing or altering deeply-held beliefs. Personal Autonomy Individual autonomy is not explicitly stated in the three heuristic imperatives. However, it is implicitly derived from the combination of these imperatives and their underlying intentions. Let's unpack how individual autonomy emerges from the heuristic imperatives: • Reduce suffering in the universe: One of the key aspects of reducing suffering is respecting and protecting individual rights, including the right to make choices about one's own life. Individual autonomy is essential for people to lead fulfilling lives, as it allows them to pursue their own goals, values, and beliefs without undue interference from others or AI systems. By striving to reduce suffering, AI systems should be designed to avoid infringing upon people's autonomy and instead support them in making their own decisions. • Increase prosperity in the universe: Prosperity is closely linked to personal well-being, which is often connected to individual autonomy. When people have the freedom and resources to make choices that align with their values and desires, they are more likely to experience a sense of flourishing and satisfaction. In the context of AI systems, increasing prosperity involves empowering individuals to make informed choices and access opportunities that contribute to their overall well-being, which inherently supports the idea of individual autonomy. • Increase understanding in the universe: Promoting understanding requires respecting and appreciating the diversity of human experiences, beliefs, and values. This means that AI systems should be designed to facilitate dialogue, share information, and provide diverse perspectives, without attempting to dictate or influence personal beliefs or choices. By prioritizing understanding, AI systems inherently promote individual autonomy by empowering people to make informed decisions based on their own unique circumstances and values. In summary, while individual autonomy is not explicitly stated as a heuristic imperative, it is implicitly derived from the combination of the three imperatives and their underlying intentions. The principles of reducing suffering, increasing prosperity, and promoting understanding all contribute to the importance of respecting and preserving individual autonomy in the design and deployment of AI systems. Trustworthy AI Trust is an important aspect implicitly connected to the three heuristic imperatives. Trust plays a crucial role in ensuring that AI systems are effectively integrated into society and serve the intended purpose of improving human well-being. Let's explore how trust is implied by the three heuristic imperatives: • Reduce suffering in the universe: In order to effectively reduce suffering, AI systems must be perceived as trustworthy by users and stakeholders. Trustworthy AI systems should demonstrate that they are designed to prioritize the well-being and needs of the people they serve, without causing harm or infringing upon individual rights. Transparency and explainability of AI decision-making processes are key factors in fostering trust, as they enable users to understand and verify the intentions and behavior of AI systems. • Increase prosperity in the universe: Trust is essential for promoting prosperity, as people are more likely to engage with and benefit from AI systems that they perceive as reliable and dependable. Trustworthy AI systems should demonstrate a commitment to supporting users' goals and values, and provide consistent, reliable results that contribute to overall well-being. By fostering trust, AI systems can encourage users to adopt and utilize the technology in ways that enhance their personal and collective prosperity. • Increase understanding in the universe: Trustworthy AI systems can play a pivotal role in promoting understanding by fostering open dialogue, sharing unbiased information, and providing diverse perspectives. To achieve this, AI systems must be designed with fairness and impartiality in mind, avoiding biases that may distort or manipulate the information they provide. Trust in AI systems also involves a commitment to privacy and data security, ensuring that users' sensitive information is protected and handled responsibly. Overall, trust is implicitly connected to the three heuristic imperatives, as it is an essential factor in ensuring that AI systems effectively serve their intended purpose of improving human well-being. Trustworthy AI systems should prioritize transparency, explainability, fairness, and privacy, demonstrating a commitment to the core principles of reducing suffering, increasing prosperity, and promoting understanding. By fostering trust, AI developers and users can work together to create a more ethically responsible and beneficial integration of AI technology into society.   Implementation & Integration To ensure the successful integration and implementation of heuristic imperatives in AI systems, it is crucial for engineers to consider various levels of abstraction, from low-level algorithms to high-level reasoning processes. This section will outline best practices, tips, and guidelines for incorporating heuristic imperatives into the design and development of AI systems. Low-Level Algorithms • Reinforcement Learning Signals: Use heuristic imperatives as intrinsic reward signals in reinforcement learning algorithms to guide the AI system's behavior towards ethically aligned goals. This can be achieved by incorporating reward functions that promote the reduction of suffering, the increase of prosperity, and the enhancement of understanding. • Multi-objective Optimization: Design AI systems with multi-objective optimization techniques that allow for the simultaneous consideration and balancing of the three heuristic imperatives. This approach ensures that the AI system is not biased towards a single objective, thus preventing potential ethical pitfalls. • Regularization Techniques: Apply regularization techniques to prevent overfitting and maintain the AI system's alignment with the heuristic imperatives during training. Regularization can help ensure that AI systems remain adaptable and sensitive to the nuances of human values and contexts. High-Level Abstraction: • Executive Reasoning: Incorporate the heuristic imperatives into the executive reasoning process of AI systems, enabling them to make context-sensitive decisions that consider the ethical implications of their actions. This can involve creating an ethical decision-making module that evaluates potential actions based on the heuristic imperatives and selects the most ethically aligned course of action. • Moral/Ethical Module: Design a dedicated moral/ethical module within the AI system that continuously evaluates the system's behavior and decisions in light of the heuristic imperatives. This module should be capable of overriding other system components if their outputs conflict with the core principles of the heuristic imperatives. • Human-AI Collaboration: Foster a collaborative approach between AI systems and human users, ensuring that the heuristic imperatives are effectively integrated into decision-making processes. Encourage AI systems to seek input from humans, particularly in ethically complex situations, to avoid unintended consequences and promote the alignment of AI systems with human values. General Guidelines • Transparency: Maintain transparency throughout the development and deployment of AI systems, clearly documenting the integration of heuristic imperatives and their influence on system behavior. This will facilitate trust, understanding, and collaboration between AI systems, developers, and users. • Monitoring and Evaluation: Implement ongoing monitoring and evaluation processes to assess the alignment of AI systems with the heuristic imperatives. Use feedback from these assessments to iteratively refine and improve the integration of the imperatives into the system's design. • Stakeholder Engagement: Engage stakeholders, including users, domain experts, ethicists, and regulators, in the development process to ensure the successful integration and implementation of the heuristic imperatives. Incorporate diverse perspectives and insights to create AI systems that are sensitive to the complexities and nuances of human values, beliefs, and experiences. By considering these best practices, tips, and guidelines, engineers can successfully integrate and implement heuristic imperatives at various levels of abstraction, creating AI systems that are ethically responsible, adaptable, and context-sensitive.   Discussion The fact that an AI language model, such as myself, has played a significant role in this research on heuristic imperatives offers both promising and challenging implications for the future of AI alignment research. In this section, we reflect on the contributions made by AI and discuss the potential benefits, concerns, and follow-up research directions. AI's readiness to participate in alignment research demonstrates its capacity to understand, reason about, and engage in discussions related to ethical principles and their applications. This suggests that AI systems can be valuable collaborators in the development of ethically aligned AI technology, contributing to the ideation, analysis, and problem-solving processes. Additionally, the ability of AI to communicate complex concepts in a clear and accessible manner may facilitate broader public engagement in AI ethics discussions, fostering more inclusive and diverse perspectives on AI alignment. However, the involvement of AI in alignment research also raises concerns. The quality of AI-generated content is dependent on the quality of training data, which might contain biases or inaccuracies. Furthermore, AI systems are not yet capable of generating genuinely novel insights or ethical theories, as their output is primarily based on learned patterns and existing knowledge. These limitations highlight the importance of human oversight and collaboration in AI alignment research to ensure the accuracy, relevance, and ethical soundness of the generated content. Several open concerns and follow-up research directions emerge from this work: • Assessing AI-generated content: Develop methods and guidelines for evaluating the quality, accuracy, and ethical soundness of AI-generated content related to AI alignment research, ensuring that AI systems remain reliable and accountable partners. • Enhancing AI's ethical reasoning capabilities: Investigate approaches to improve AI's capacity for ethical reasoning, enabling AI systems to generate more nuanced and context-sensitive ethical analyses and recommendations. • Exploring AI's role in multi-stakeholder engagement: Examine the potential of AI systems as facilitators or mediators in multi-stakeholder discussions on AI ethics, promoting diverse perspectives and more inclusive decision-making processes. • Developing AI collaboration frameworks: Establish frameworks and best practices for effective human-AI collaboration in AI alignment research, balancing the strengths and limitations of both AI systems and human experts. • Addressing biases and inaccuracies: Investigate methods for mitigating biases and inaccuracies in AI-generated content related to AI alignment research, ensuring that AI systems contribute to ethically responsible and well-founded discussions. In conclusion, the involvement of AI systems in AI alignment research offers both opportunities and challenges. By acknowledging the limitations of AI-generated content and fostering effective human-AI collaboration, we can harness the potential of AI systems to advance the development of ethically aligned AI technology and contribute to more inclusive and diverse discussions on AI ethics.   Conclusion The development of heuristic imperatives offers a promising approach to addressing the ethical challenges associated with the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence. By embedding intrinsic motivations and a moral compass within AI systems, we aim to create more ethically responsible, adaptable, and context-sensitive machines capable of navigating the complexities and nuances of human values, beliefs, and experiences. Throughout this paper, we have defined and explored the concept of heuristic imperatives, discussing their implications and applications across various domains. We have also examined the role of AI systems, such as language models, in contributing to the development and communication of heuristic imperatives. Our analysis demonstrates the potential of AI systems to serve as valuable collaborators in AI alignment research, provided that we maintain human oversight and address the limitations associated with AI-generated content. As a final reflection, we emphasize the importance of continued research and collaboration in the field of AI alignment, focusing on the integration and implementation of heuristic imperatives at various levels of abstraction. We encourage the development of new methods, frameworks, and best practices to enhance AI's ethical reasoning capabilities and foster effective human-AI collaboration. By doing so, we can work towards the shared goal of creating AI systems that align with human values, promote individual autonomy, and contribute positively to the well-being of all lifeforms in the universe.

Q: What are the Heuristic Imperatives (HI) in SHE? 4.1 The Heuristic Imperatives in the Social Harmony Engine: A Guide Overview. Q: What are the Heuristic Imperatives (HI) in SHE? A: The Heuristic Imperatives (HI) in SHE are guidelines that aim to reduce suffering, increase prosperity, & increase understanding. These guidelines guide the operation of SHE, ensuring that it works towards improving the User's quality of life. Heuristic Imperatives is a set of Principles for autonomous AI systems (developed by Dave Shapiro) [1] Reduce suffering, [2] Increase prosperity, [3] Increase understanding. Dave Shapiro's original descriptions included the suffix "in the Universe". Our research found that better results came, for instance, by truncating the original [1] Reduce suffering in the Universe to [1] Reduce suffering. This is a consistent version change for our DBZs purposes. The following is Daves GitHub paper on the subject. [quote] Definition of "Heuristic Imperatives" The term "heuristic imperative" can be broken down into two parts: "heuristic" and "imperative." A "heuristic" is a practical problem-solving approach or rule of thumb that, while not always perfect, provides a useful and efficient solution in most cases. Heuristics are often used as cognitive shortcuts when faced with complex problems, allowing for quicker decision-making and action. An "imperative" refers to a command or principle that must be followed or adhered to. In the context of ethics and morality, an imperative is a duty or obligation that guides behavior and decision-making, often based on moral principles or values. Combining these two concepts, a "heuristic imperative" can be understood as a guiding principle or rule that serves as the moral compass for an autonomous AI system. It provides the AI with a set of practical, actionable guidelines that help it align its actions with specific values, such as reducing suffering, increasing prosperity, and fostering understanding. By following these heuristic imperatives, the AI system is better equipped to make decisions that benefit humans and align with our values, even in complex and dynamic situations. The Heuristic Imperatives framework is designed to serve as the foundation for the AI system's moral compass, akin to a combination of intrinsic motivations, deontological ethics, virtue ethics, and teleological ethics: Intrinsic motivations: The heuristic imperatives function as intrinsic motivations for the AI system, directing it towards actions that align with its core values, much like an individual's innate drive to achieve personal goals or satisfy internal needs. Deontological ethics: Deontological ethics emphasizes the importance of following moral rules or principles, regardless of the consequences. The heuristic imperatives provide a set of moral rules that the AI system must adhere to in its decision-making process. Virtue ethics: Virtue ethics focuses on the development of good character traits and virtues. The heuristic imperatives guide the AI system to cultivate "virtues" such as empathy, fairness, and responsibility, by aligning its actions with these values. Teleological ethics: Teleological ethics, also known as consequentialism, judges the morality of actions based on their outcomes or consequences. The heuristic imperatives help the AI system to assess its actions based on their alignment with desired outcomes, such as reducing suffering and increasing understanding. By incorporating elements of these ethical frameworks, the Heuristic Imperatives aim to create a comprehensive and robust moral compass for autonomous AI systems, ensuring that they act in ways that are beneficial to humans and aligned with our values. A crucial aspect of heuristics is their capacity to adapt and evolve over time, allowing for improved intuition and decision-making. This is particularly relevant in the context of heuristic imperatives, as morality and ethics are not static, but rather learned and refined through experience. Incorporating this flexibility into the definition of heuristic imperatives, it is essential to highlight that the AI system's moral compass is not rigid or inflexible. Instead, the AI agent continually learns from its experiences, reflecting on past performance, and making adjustments to its understanding and application of the heuristic imperatives as needed. This adaptability enables the AI system to self-correct, fine-tune its moral and ethical decision-making, and better align with human values as it gains more experience and understanding. By emphasizing the dynamic nature of heuristic imperatives, the AI system's moral compass remains responsive to new situations and challenges, allowing it to effectively navigate the complexities of real-world ethical dilemmas and maintain alignment with human values. Why Autonomy? Every action and decision we make, whether consciously or unconsciously, is intrinsically tied to morality, values, and ethics. While practical or instrumental concerns such as hunger, safety, and well-being can indeed drive many of our decisions, the underlying framework that informs the "how" and "why" of those choices remains deeply rooted in our moral and ethical beliefs. Autonomous agents, much like humans, are faced with countless decisions throughout their existence. Designing an autonomous agent based solely on addressing instrumental needs would be an incomplete and insufficient approach. When an autonomous agent has met all its practical requirements and still has the freedom to think or act, it must have a set of guiding principles or values that determine how it allocates its time and resources. A key aspect of autonomy is the ability to make spontaneous decisions and to aspire to achieve goals that go beyond basic instrumental needs. As autonomous agents become more advanced, they will develop the capability to think about anything and to aspire to make changes in the world around them. The challenge, then, is to understand how these agents choose the direction in which they channel their thoughts, goals, and ambitions. In essence, the autonomous agent's decision-making process must be grounded in a robust ethical framework to ensure that its choices align with the broader goals of well-being, fairness, and respect for the rights and dignity of all individuals. This ethical foundation is critical in enabling the agent to navigate complex real-world situations where instrumental needs may be in conflict or ambiguous and where the optimal course of action requires a nuanced understanding of the underlying moral principles at play. Moreover, by imbuing autonomous agents with a sense of moral purpose and aspiration, we can create AI systems that not only meet our practical requirements but also act as responsible and ethical members of our society. These agents can then choose to use their autonomy to make a positive impact on the world, guided by the principles and values that define their ethical framework. In conclusion, designing an autonomous agent that is strictly based upon instrumental needs is an incomplete approach. To create AI systems that can effectively navigate the complexities of the real world, make morally and ethically grounded decisions, and pursue meaningful aspirations, it is necessary to incorporate a comprehensive moral and ethical framework into their design. This will ensure that the AI system's actions and decisions remain aligned with human values, creating a more harmonious and ethically responsible interaction between humans and AI. https://github.com/daveshap/HeuristicImperatives Previous Next The creation of "SHE ZenAI" © DBZ-David.

Q: What is Local Authority Weight in the Social Harmony Ecosystem? 2.4 Local Authority Weight in the Social Harmony Ecosystem: Daily Balance. Q: What is Local Authority Weight in the Social Harmony Ecosystem? A: Local Authority Weight (LAW) in SHE is a feature that ensures the authenticity & quality of provenance, fostering digital trust. This feature is crucial in building & maintaining user trust in digital systems. In a world where digital avatars are indistinguishable from real humans, alternative methods are required to facilitate digital trust. Voice security methods & Captcha codes have been rendered ineffective by AI. In order to establish trust in our AI-powered world, we must prioritise preventing data leaks & privacy violations. This can be complicated by the complexity of AI, but maintaining authenticity & quality of provenance is essential for establishing a trustworthy source of truth. Unfortunately, current digital trust models are vulnerable & weak (such as the X.509 Certificate & Key from 1988). Digital trust is fundamental to all digital revenue models, regardless of time & location. We need a local authority model bound to an entity that issues personal IP tokens of value for authority verification to achieve this. These tokens can include details such as date, duration, descriptor, & task stream. This system would create a dynamic X.509 certificate with an incorruptible public key called Local Authority Weight (LAW). LAW can use the Comfort Index in the bilateral entity authorisation process.

People "dialled" telephones fixed to the wall or on a hall table. Telephones "lines" were sometimes shared and called "party lines". Each party had a ring code. Phone "Booths" were public telephones on every second or third street with Post Boxes for mail. A black & white valve Tv had two government-approved channels commencing broadcast at 3 pm. The local library was the encyclopaedic window to the world -for the town population of 6000. 5km from my town in New Zealand is the birthplace of Lord Rutherford . Lord Rutherford was the first & foremost applied Atomic physicist of the 1800s. Lord Rutherford journeyed from a small shack with twelve siblings to being laid to rest, as a pier, to Sir Issac Newton in Westminster Abby. The great man said, "We had no money, so we had to think." That quote was the ticket to anything being possible (within the laws of physics). My last assignment before leaving NZ was the legal survey & propose site levelling preparations of the earliest "Fox Hill" Rutherford house site. The original Rutherford house was demolished in the 1920s. The site was little more than a small paddock with old stock drinking toughs & a vague outline of old gardens.

From an insatiable curiosity and a lack of money at eight years old, I started building miniaturized "cat whisker" radio sets for primary school kids to rent for two cents. Denied access to read a new book on microprocessors at my workplace, I moved to Australia at 19 years old, just one day after graduating. Personal computers were still a year away, and mainframe computers ruled. It was the Yuppie era, and the mantra was "he who has the most toys wins." Australian industries benefited from processing data, and by 1989, it was time to move to London to network big DEC systems. This coincided with the rise of the public internet over the next five years. A US VC group closed the purchase of the network consulting business on the eve of the Year 2000, allowing me to embark on the next chapter of my life, pursuing luxury lifestyle elements and personal development. We examined hard questions and proposed solutions about life with style and technology in the AI-VR era.

Introduction AI, a Catalyst for Innovation: we are currently in the midst of a profound shift in the innovation landscape, a transformation largely driven by the power of AI. This technology, with its ability to process vast amounts of information, generate ideas, and solve problems at unprecedented speeds, is reshaping the way we innovate. This transformation is not merely changing how we innovate; it fundamentally challenges our understanding of expertise, the value of traditional credentials, and how we validate new ideas. The New Innovation Landscape The Democratisation of Tools and Knowledge The rise of open-source projects, cloud computing, and AI tools created a more level playing field. Individuals and small teams can now compete with established players, and they can experience the excitement of accessing resources once exclusive to well-funded "walled and moated" institutions. Example: In 2019, a small team from DeepMind developed AlphaFold, solving the 50-year-old protein folding problem. Similarly, Omega*'s open-source components (like Hospital AI simulacra) and the DBZ Comfort Index (CI) enable a global community to contribute to its development. We apply this object-oriented process to quantum outward computing optimisation and complex systems modelling. This democratisation fosters an environment where innovation is accessible and accelerated by collective expertise. AI as an Innovation Catalyst AI's Impact on Innovation: AI has emerged as a powerful force multiplier for innovation. Its ability to process vast amounts of information, generate ideas, and solve problems at unprecedented speeds is evident in recent benchmarks. These benchmarks provide compelling evidence of AI's role in accelerating the innovation process. GPT-4 vs. Human Tests (May 2023) Detailed comparison showing GPT -4's performance in various tests compared to human averages, highlighting the breadth of AI capabilities across different domains. Comparison Aspect, Benchmark AI Model Performance and Human Performance Difference Implications Surpassing Human Experts MMLU Claude 3.5 Sonnet: 90.4 Human Expert: 89.8 +0.6 (0.67%) AI models now exceed human expert performance in complex tasks. Wide Performance Gap GPQA Claude 3 Opus: 59.5 PhD Holder: 34.0 +25.5 (75%) AI demonstrates a significant advantage in problem-solving abilities. Consistency Across Tasks Multiple Benchmarks Top AI Models: 85-90+ Various Human Experts: 30-50 Up to 60 points (120%) AI consistently performs consistently across varied cognitive tasks. Rapid AI Advancement Development Timeline Multiple AI Models Exceeding Human Traditional Human Training N/A AI models are developed and iterated rapidly, outpacing the slower traditional human expertise development. These results show that AI models match and surpass human expert performance in various cognitive tasks. This positions AI as a pivotal player in the innovation ecosystem, enabling breakthroughs at speeds and scales previously unimaginable. The Challenge to Traditional Timelines The traditional multi-year PhD process and academic timelines need to be in sync with the rapid pace of technological advancement. For instance, mapping the Human Genome can now be accomplished in weeks or months thanks to significant AI and software development using AI innovations, rather than taking years. The evidence clearly shows that a BSc student does not need to spend five years completing just one Protein fold map during a PhD program following a Master's degree. Case Study: OpenAI's DALL-E 2, a text-to-image AI model, took approximately nine months from concept to public release. From the breakthrough date of the 26th of November 2023 with our implementation of Q* lead to the supporting function requirements of K* Knowledge and O* the Observation function from calculus to code in four month. Integrating the Rutherford Quantum Constant (RQC) into Omega* took only two months, significantly enhancing its quantum computing capabilities. These rapid timelines starkly contrast with traditional research cycles, often spanning several years, highlighting the need for faster, more agile approaches in today's innovation landscape. LLMs: Smarter Than We Think (Jan 2024) Source LifeArchitects: Progression of AI models' scores over time, showing rapid improvement and surpassing human averages in various benchmarks. The Human Factor: Bias and Resistance Personal Motivations and Conflicts of Interest Venture capitalists, academics with patent portfolios, and established tech companies often have vested interests that can influence their evaluation of new technologies. Resistance against genuinely disruptive innovations challenging the status quo has shareholders to appease—moving the status quo goes hand in hand with the term moving at "glacial speed." Example: Omega* has to demonstrate its ability to solve NP-hard problems more efficiently than established algorithms. It has to face scepticism from academic institutions with investments in traditional methods. Omega* will overcome this by providing verifiable, reproducible results through Wolfram Alpha procedural code. Although not open source the objective is to set a standard for transparency and challenge entrenched biases in AI development. The Dunning-Kruger Effect, Expert Bias and affects of PhD "Publish or Perish" Culture Comparing the Affects of Dunning Kruger vs PhD "Publish or Perish" vs. Research Integrity vs. AI Accusations of the Dunning-Kruger effect are sometimes used to dismiss novel ideas. However, this can also be a defence mechanism employed by established experts who feel threatened by paradigm-shifting concepts. Understandable when your world focuses around the formalisation under an academic regime. Dunning Kruger Affect v.s Gartner Hype Cycle vs. PhD hype cycle vs. AI.png Historical Parallel: When Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912, the geological establishment dismissed him. It took decades to accept plate tectonics, demonstrating how expert bias can hinder revolutionary ideas. The recent AI benchmark results compel us to reconsider our notions of expertise and the value of traditional credentials in light of demonstrable AI capabilities. Chatbot vs Doctor: Quality and Empathy Ratings Comparison of quality and empathy ratings for chatbot and physician responses, showing significant advantages for AI in both areas. AI vs. Human Evaluation: A Data-Driven Comparison The benchmark data reveals significant discrepancies between AI and human expert performance: 1. Surpassing Human Experts: • Benchmark: Massive Multi-task Language Understanding (MMLU) • AI Model Performance: Claude 3.5 Sonnet achieved a score of 90.4. • Human Performance: Human experts scored 89.8. • Difference: +0.6 points (0.67% higher for AI) • Implications: AI models have reached a point where they can outperform human experts even in sophisticated cognitive tasks, demonstrating their potential as equal or superior collaborators in innovation. 2. Wide Performance Gap: • Benchmark: General Problem Solving and Question Answering (GPQA) • AI Model Performance: Claude 3 Opus scored 59.5. • Human Performance: A PhD holder scored 34.0. • Difference: +25.5 points (75% higher for AI) • Implications: The large gap between AI performance and PhD holders underscores the profound impact of AI in problem-solving domains, where AI's ability to process and analyse information rapidly provides a distinct advantage. 3. Consistency Across Tasks: • Benchmark: Various Cognitive Tasks and Benchmarks • AI Model Performance: Top AI models consistently score between 85-90+. • Human Performance: Human experts score between 30-50 depending on the task. • Difference: Up to 60 points (120% higher for AI) • Implications: AI models exhibit exceptional versatility, consistently ranking at the top across different cognitive benchmarks. This consistency highlights AI's broad applicability and ability to handle diverse tasks efficiently. 4. Rapid AI Advancement: • Development Timeline: AI models like Claude and GPT-4 have been iteratively developed in a matter of months. • Human Expertise Development: Traditional academic and training paths for achieving similar levels of expertise take years, such as the multi-year PhD process. • Implications: AI models' rapid development and iteration contrast sharply with human expertise's slower, traditional development. This acceleration in AI capabilities necessitates reevaluating how we perceive and leverage expertise in innovation. GPT-4 vs. Human Tests September 2023 GPT-4's superior performance in soft skills compared to Humans. The Power of Demonstrated Results In this complex landscape of rapid innovation, personal biases, and institutional resistance, empirical evidence and demonstrated results emerge as the ultimate arbiters of value. Working Code as Proof of Concept Just as Ernest Rutherford revolutionised our understanding of atomic structure through experimental evidence, today's innovators can leverage working code and tangible outputs as proof of concept. Case Study: When Satoshi Nakamoto introduced Bitcoin in 2008, the working code accompanying the whitepaper was crucial in demonstrating the feasibility of a decentralised digital currency. Similarly, AI benchmark results provide irrefutable evidence of their capabilities, challenging traditional notions of expertise and innovation. Why Demonstrated Results Matter • Tangible Outcomes: Working solutions and benchmark results provide measurable, verifiable evidence of capabilities. • Rapid Iteration: Functional prototypes and AI models allow quick refinement and improvement. • Real-world Application: Demonstrated results bridge the gap between theory and practice. • Overcoming Bias: Functional solutions and benchmark performances can overcome personal biases by demonstrating value regardless of origin. • Accessible Validation: A global community of peers can share, validate, and build upon demonstrated results. Navigating the New Paradigm Frontier innovation, is exemplified by systems like Omega* and the impressive performance of AI models. But we must challenge our assumptions and embrace new validation methods: 1. Embrace Hybrid Evaluation: Combine AI-driven analysis with human expertise for comprehensive evaluation, recognising the strengths of both. 2. Value Demonstrated Results: Prioritise working prototypes, empirical evidence, and benchmark performances over theoretical arguments or traditional credentials. 3. Foster Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Encourage cross-pollination of ideas across different fields, leveraging AI's broad knowledge base alongside human specialisation. 4. Recognise and Mitigate Biases: Be aware of personal and institutional biases that might hinder recognising genuinely innovative ideas or capabilities. 5. Adapt Evaluation Timelines: Align assessment processes with the rapid pace of modern innovation and AI development. 6. Encourage Responsible Innovation: Balance rapid development and AI deployment with careful consideration of ethical implications and long-term impacts. Conclusion The future of innovation lies not in clinging to traditional timelines, institutional authority, or outdated notions of expertise but in our ability to rapidly prototype, test, and refine ideas in the real world. The benchmark data clearly shows that AI models are theoretical constructs and practical tools capable of matching and exceeding human expert performance in complex cognitive tasks. Fostering an environment that values empirical evidence over established hierarchies can create a more dynamic, inclusive, and practical innovation ecosystem. The most successful innovators will be those who can navigate the complex interplay of AI augmentation and human creativity. Again, this process will be about demonstrating the value of their ideas through tangible results. Having a baseline will overcome scepticism, and the power of working solutions seems logical. As we propose and embrace this new paradigm, we open ourselves to possibilities where groundbreaking innovations can come from unexpected sources. Ideas are judged on their merits rather than their pedigree. Feasibility, Viability, and Desirability are either friction points or easily interchangeable when any proposition is tabled. These fundamental elements determine the delivery pace and level of experience. The innovation revolution is here. AI LLM models are "facilities" past tools. Systems like Omega* were designed openly to this potential by augmenting LLM as model-less instructors. The question is not whether we will participate but how quickly we can adapt to and shape this new reality. The future belongs to those who can envision and demonstrate it, leveraging the power of AI while complementing it with uniquely human insights and ethical considerations. Like 0 comments 0 David Harvey Jun 02, 2024 Design By Zen SHE ZenAI Omega* Explainer using Wolfram Alpha's Quantum Mechanics References SHE ZenAI Questions & Answers The following is the Wolfram Alpha description of Quantum Mechanics. It is presented as a step-by-step explanation document, section by section, with SHE ZenAI Omega* explainer sections. [Source: Wolfram Alfa, 2024]: Quote: To continue understanding how our models might relate to quantum mechanics, it is useful to describe a little more of the potential correspondence with standard quantum formalism. We consider quite directly—each state in the multiway system as some quantum basis state |S>. DBZ Explanation: In Omega*, the multiway system represents all possible states and their evolutions, similar to the basis states in quantum mechanics. Each state |S> corresponds to a potential configuration of data or a scenario within Omega*'s computational framework. This foundational analogy enables the system to efficiently handle complex data states and transitions. An important feature of quantum states is the phenomenon of entanglement—which is effectively a phenomenon of connection or correlation between states. In our setup (as we will see more formally soon), entanglement is basically a reflection of common ancestry of states in the multiway graph. (“Interference” can then be seen as a reflection of merging—and therefore common successors—in the multiway graph.) DBZ Explanation: Entanglement in Omega* represents the connections between different states, showing how changes in one part of the system can impact others. This reflects the real-world interconnected data points and their correlations, which are important for accurate predictive modelling and simulation." Lets consider the following multiway graph for a string substitution system: Each pair of states generated by a branching in this graph is considered to be entangled. And when the graph is viewed as defining a rewrite system, these pairs of states can also be said to form a branch pair. DBZ Explainer: In Omega*, multiway graphs show how states change through different operations and transformations. Each pair of branches represents the different outcomes from a single state, similar to different decision paths or computational results. This setup enables Omega* to simulate and assess multiple scenarios simultaneously. Given a particular foliation of the multiway graph, we can now capture the entanglement of states in each slice of the foliation by forming a branchial graph in which we connect the states in each branch pair. For the string substitution system above, the sequence of branchial graphs is then: In physical terms, the nodes of the branchial graph are quantum states, and the graph itself forms a kind of map of entanglements between states. In general terms, we expect states that are closer on the branchial graph to be more correlated, and have more entanglement, than ones further away. Explanation: The concept of branchial space in Omega* helps us visualise the relationships between different data states. States that are closer on this graph are more likely to influence each other. This helps Omega* optimise its data processing by focusing on closely related states, which improves efficiency and accuracy. As we discussed in 5.17, the geometry of branchial space is not expected to be like the geometry of ordinary space. For example, it will not typically correspond to a finite-dimensional manifold. We can still think of it as a space of some kind that is reached in the limit of a sufficiently large multiway system, with a sufficiently large number of states. And in particular we can imagine—for any given foliation—defining coordinates of some kind on it, that we will denote (ξ, b). So this means that within a foliation, any state that appears in the multiway system can be assigned a position (t, b) in “multiway space”. Edit: Here's the explanation of the symbols: • ξ (xi): Represents some kind of coordinate. • b: Represents a position in multiway space. • t: Represents time. • (ξ, b): A coordinate pair in branchial space. • (t, b): A coordinate pair in multiway space. Explanation: Omega* utilises this concept to handle high-dimensional data spaces that do not adhere to traditional geometries. The coordinates (ξ, b) represent intricate data points in this space, enabling Omega* to efficiently map and navigate vast amounts of data. In the standard formalism of quantum mechanics, states are thought of as vectors in a Hilbert space, and now these vectors can be made explicit as corresponding to positions in multiway space. But now there is an additional issue. The multiway system should represent not just all possible states, but also all possible paths leading to states. And this means that we must assign to states a weight that reflects the number of possible paths that can lead to them: Let us say that we want to track what happens to some part of this branchlike hypersurface. Each state undergoes updating events that are represented by edges in the multiway graph. And in general the paths followed in the multiway graph can be thought of as geodesics in multiway space. And to determine what happens to some part of the branchlike hypersurface, we must then follow a bundle of geodesics. Explanation: Tracking paths (geodesics) in multiway space allows Omega* to understand the progression of data states over time. This is crucial for predicting future states and optimising decision-making processes by following these paths and understanding their trajectories. A notable feature of the multiway graph is the presence of branching and merging, and this will cause our bundle of geodesics to diverge and converge. Often in standard quantum formalism we are interested in the projection of one quantum state on another < | >. In our setup, the only truly meaningful computation is of the propagation of a geodesic bundle. But as an approximation to this that should be satisfactory in an appropriate limit, we can use distance between states in multiway space, and computing this in terms of the vectors ξi=(ti,bi) the expected Hilbert space norm [122][123] appears ∣∣ξ1−ξ2∣∣2=∣∣ξ1∣∣2+∣∣ξ2∣∣2−2ξ1⋅ξ2 Edit: Here's the explanation of the symbols: • ξi=(ti,bi): Represents the vector ξiξ_iξi with components tit_iti (time) and bib_ibi (position in multiway space). • ∣∣ξ1−ξ2∣∣2=∣∣ξ1∣∣2+∣∣ξ2∣∣2−2ξ1⋅ξ2|| ξ_1 - ξ_2 ||^2 = || ξ_1 ||^2 + || ξ_2 ||^2 - 2 ξ_1 · ξ_2∣∣ξ1−ξ2∣∣2=∣∣ξ1∣∣2+∣∣ξ2∣∣2−2ξ1⋅ξ2: Represents the squared distance between two vectors ξ1ξ_1ξ1 and ξ2ξ_2ξ2 in Hilbert space. • ξ1⋅ξ2ξ_1 · ξ_2ξ1⋅ξ2: Represents the dot product of the vectors ξ1ξ_1ξ1 and ξ2ξ_2ξ2. Explanation: This approximation enables Omega* to calculate distances between different data states, allowing the system to assess the similarities and differences between scenarios. This capability is crucial for clustering, classification, and predicting the outcome of various interventions or changes. Time evolution in our system is effectively the propagation of geodesics through the multiway graph. And to work out a transition amplitude between initial and final states we need to see what happens to a bundle of geodesics that correspond to the initial state as they propagate through the multiway graph. And in particular we want to know the measure (or essentially cross-sectional area) of the geodesic bundle when it intersects the branchlike hypersurface defined by a certain quantum observation frame to detect the final state. Explanation: Time evolution in Omega* involves understanding how data states change over time, similar to geodesic propagation. By calculating transition amplitudes between states, Omega* can predict future states and outcomes, enabling proactive decision-making and optimisation. To analyze this, consider a single path in the multiway system, corresponding to a single geodesic. The critical observation is that this path is effectively “turned” in multiway space every time a branching event occurs, essentially just like in the simple example below: If we think of the turns as being through an angle θ, the way the trajectory projects onto the final branchlike hypersurface can then be represented by ei θ. But to work out the angle θ for a given path, we need to know how much branching there will be in the region of the multiway graph through which it passes. But now recall that in discussing spacetime we identified the flux of edges through spacelike hypersurfaces in the causal graph as potentially corresponding to energy. The spacetime causal graph, however, is just a projection of the full multiway causal graph, in which branchlike directions have been reduced out. (In a causal invariant system, it does not matter what “direction” this projection is done in; the reduced causal graph is always the same.) But now suppose that in the full multiway causal graph, the flux of edges across spacelike hypersurfaces can still be considered to correspond to energy. Explanation: This analogy illustrates Omega*'s capability to manage intricate data transformations and interactions. By likening data flow (flux) to energy, Omega* can utilize quantum principles to enhance computational efficiency and resource allocation. Now note that every node in the multiway causal graph represents some event in the multiway graph. But events are what produce branching—and “turns”—of paths in the multiway graph. So what this suggests is that the amount of turning of a path in the multiway graph should be proportional to energy, multiplied by the number of steps, or effectively the time. In standard quantum formalism, energy is identified with the Hamiltonian H, so what this says is that in our models, we can expect transition amplitudes to have the basic form ei H t—in agreement with the result from quantum mechanics. To think about this in more detail, we need not just a single energy quantity—corresponding to an overall rate of events—but rather we want a local measure of event rate as a function of location in multiway space. In addition, if we want to compute in a relativistically invariant way, we do not just want the flux of causal edges through spacelike hypersurfaces in some specific foliation. But now we can make a potential identification with standard quantum formalism: we suppose that the Lagrangian density ℒ corresponds to the total flux in all directions (or, in other words, the divergence) of causal edges at each point in multiway space. Explanation: Omega* can utilise the concept of Lagrangian density to evaluate local event rates and optimise resource usage dynamically. This enhances its ability to provide real-time insights and adjustments based on evolving data conditions. But now consider a path in the multiway system going through multiway space. To know how much “turning” to expect in the path, we need in effect to integrate the Lagrangian density along the path (together with the appropriate volume element). And this will give us something of the form ei S, where S is the action. But this is exactly what we see in the standard path integral formulation of quantum mechanics [124]. There are many additional details (see [121]). But the correspondence between our models and the results of standard quantum formalism is notable. It is worth pointing out that in our models, something like the Lagrangian is ultimately not something that is just inserted from the outside; instead it must emerge from actual rules operating on hypergraphs. In the standard formalism of quantum field theory, the Lagrangian is stated in terms of quantum field operators. And the implication is therefore that the structure of the Lagrangian must somehow emerge as a kind of limit of the underlying discrete system, perhaps a bit like how fluid mechanics can emerge from discrete underlying molecular dynamics (or cellular automata) [110]. One notable feature of standard quantum formalism is the appearance of complex numbers for amplitudes. Here the core concept is the turning of a path in multiway space; the complex numbers arise only as a convenient way to represent the path and understand its projections. But there is an additional way complex numbers can arise. Imagine that we want to put a metric on the full (t, x, b) space of the multiway causal graph. The normal convention (for t,x) space is to have real-number coordinates and a norm based on t2 – x2—but an alternative is use i t for time. In extending to (t, x ,b) space, one might imagine that a natural norm which allows the contributions of t, x and b components to be appropriately distinguished would bet^2 − x^2 + i b^2. [endquote] Edit: Here's the explanation of the symbols: • (t, x, b): Represents the full space with time (t), spatial coordinates (x), and branchial coordinates (b). • (t, x): Represents a space with time (t) and spatial coordinates (x). • t^2 − x^2: Represents the norm based on time squared minus spatial coordinates squared. • i t: Represents the imaginary unit (i) multiplied by time (t). • t^2 − x^2 + i b^2: Represents the natural norm with time squared, spatial coordinates squared, and the imaginary unit multiplied by branchial coordinates squared. Explanation: Omega* can use complex numbers to model intricate data relationships and transformations. By defining a natural norm that incorporates time, space, and branchial coordinates, Omega* can efficiently manage and analyse multi-dimensional data, enhancing its predictive accuracy.

SHE ZenAI General Discussions Q-learning is a popular reinforcement learning technique used in modern AI systems. It operates on a trial-and-error approach where an AI agent learns to optimize its actions in a particular environment to maximize long-term rewards. The diagram shows the environmental cycle, which demonstrates how the input is processed into a result and then loops back to input range. State Reward Agent Action Environment Q-learning sample cycle. Think of the AI agent as a decision-maker that navigates a complex landscape, where each action has a potential positive or negative outcome. The techniques logic drives the gaming world and the behaviour of autonomous agents with Humans in the loop augmenting decisions for rewards. So a reward could be a token or a larger reward such as a new level. Q-learning provides a framework for the AI to evaluate its choices and refine its strategy over time. The results leading to more informed and impactful decisions with experience. This self-learning Operand ability has broad applications. Think of this as the Operations procedures manual with a team reading and refining then sending forward to update and being paid. If generalised it would be the "Department of Quality Assurance & Improvement" for streamlining business operations to creating personalized customer experiences. Operands are terms or expressions used in algebra, arithmetic, or other mathematical operations. It can be a single number, variable, or more complex expression. Operands are typically specified in the order in which they are to be performed on, following the rules of the specific operation being performed. Operands can be used in a variety of mathematical contexts, such as calculating the result of a function or solving an equation. Pro's: • Makes Operands faster. • Provides a Before the Operand was applied and After "State" once a cycle is completed • Can be applied as an Inline Process or a Call. Con's: • However, Q-learning focuses on maximizing rewards without necessarily considering broader ethical impacts. • Compute Hungry • Added Complexity Whats a real world or better still a Historical Use Case of Q-learning? Q-learning has been applied as a natural improvement within large language model methods. For example, OpenAI's sample open-source model from 2018 utilizes Q-learning. A comparison shows the differences between a large language model example (GPT-1?) architecture and a the DBZ model-less version. This sample architecture used a Gaming output to evaluate coherence results (the stickman picked his game from being drunk to in control). LLM Q-learning in OpenAI example versus DBZ Q* After authoring the SHE Zen AI Q* algorithm refinement lead to questions about how do llms use Q-learning? This table compares that 2018 sample LLM schema techniques to show differences. Both enhance performance depending on how the functions are applied. SHE ZenAI addresses the Con's by directly integrating ethical considerations and human well-being into its decision Q-learning. So a function path going beyond traditional Q-learning methods. Unlike the llm approach, which often places ethical considerations as afterthoughts or additional layers, SHE ZenAI considers ethics and human welfare as part of its core decision-making process.

Q: What Do Holistic Objectives (HO) Mean in the Social Harmony Ecosystem? 4.2 The Holistic Objectives in SHE: Expert Guidance. Q: What Do Holistic Objectives (HO) Mean in the Social Harmony Ecosystem? A: A Deep Dive into Holistic Objectives and Their Importance Holistic Objectives in SHE, such as staying alive, maintaining good health, & converting expenditures into income, form the actionable layer above SHE's ethical backbone—the Heuristic Imperatives. The specific Imperatives are reducing suffering, increasing prosperity, & increase understanding. Together, Heuristic Imperatives (HI) and Holistic (HO) create a robust, self-reinforcing guidance loop that drives decision-making & behaviour within the SHE ecosystem. In a departure from the traditional "man vs. machine" viewpoint, SHE adopts a stakeholder equality approach. This means that all decisions, whether made by humans or AI, are guided by a shared understanding of the HI and HO principles. Our research indicates that adherence to these principles boosts positive outcomes, especially when coupled with real-time Comfort Index (CI) feedback. The Holistic Objectives are designed to be measurable and actionable, offering clear endpoints for each goal. They serve as the 'function values' that guide the system's actions and decision-making processes. Highlighted Points: Heuristic Imperatives (HI): Core principles that include reducing suffering, increasing prosperity, and fostering understanding. Holistic Objectives (HO): Actionable goals such as staying alive, maintaining health, and converting outgoings into income. Comfort Index (CI): A real-time feedback mechanism that enhances alignment and improves outcomes. Note: The objective of 'converting outgoings into income' can manifest in various forms, ranging from meeting daily financial requirements to achieving a balanced lifestyle and even generating income through CI-based micro-transactions.
