Retroinformation ideas

Here are some ideas that I've been throwing around over the years. Vernor Vinge and I used to talk about these things at our lunches the Greek restaurant in Sorrento Valley. 

Retroinformation: Information that can be communicated between different eras and scales. 

Wormhole Transport Protocol (WTP) an information transport layer that extends HTTP to allow endpoint servers to be in different eras or scale. HTTP with parameters for era and time domain. Information is filtered via a CASER mechanism, which blocks information that is not self-consistent.  Channels may open up between scales, such as quantum and macro scales, or ants and their ant colony, or worms and their ecosystem.

Wormhole Transport Markup Language (WTML).  A language used to describe the communication channel to communicate between endpoints using the WTP servers.  This language protocol will start out simply, and evolve as the level of trust and consistency increases.

Era: a time domain, describing the time domain of the endpoints of the WTP. Thus, eras may describe world lines that are related as "future" or "past" of the same object, but not necessarily the same one. Jitter: the time domain difference betweeen eras. 

CASER: Causal Amplification through Stimulated Emission of Retroinformation. A filter/resonate mechanism with ports connecting different time domains. It allows information to be emitted only when self-consistent. This filters retroinformation to only allow self-consistent information to flow. 

Causal Amplification: The ability for retro information to increase or decrease some event within the probability distribution function of another era. To the local observer, a causally amplified event seems like something that happens "normally." To the remote observer (communicating via WTP), this is way of bootstrapping their own present. 

Inter-Era bootstrap: A mechanism by which one era is able to start up communication with another era. If both endpoints are in the same world line, then the earlier era must open up the WTP server port in order for the future era to download enrichment information, increasing the retroinformative capacity of the channel.   WTML 1.0 is the most primitive version of the language used, which may itself be bootstrapped to higher levels.

Retroinformative Capacity: (of a retroinformation channel) The state of the channel, and degree to which an Inter-Era bootstrap process has begun. Self-consistent future: a requirement of any retroinformative channel. Non-WTP communication maintains self-consistency in a world line by restricting requiring strict causality (all events are preceeded by their causes). As retroinformation channels are added to an Era's domain, self-consistent future is maintained by strict CASER filtering. 

Hacking the CASER: If the CASER mechanism is hacked, then the self-consistency of the worldlines of the affected Eras may be lost. 

Tools for maintaining self-consistency in retroinformation channels:

  • Negation-free language.  WTML does not allow the expression of negation.  This precludes certain paradoxical expressions, such as "This sentence is false"
  • Identity diffusion: WTML does not allow the identification of individual elements.  This precludes going back and altering the behavior of one's grandparents.  This inhibits self-referential paradoxes, as "This sentence is false" would be prohibited because "This" identity would be blocked.
  • Scale diffusion.  Channels may be opened between different scales, such as ants and their ant colony.  In this case, the identity of the individual ants would be diffused over the scale jitter.

This long lasting material can even stand the check of time, so if security is the top concern, sheet metal building supplies are the go-to substrate. Founded in 1908 on the city’s southwest facet, Chicago Metal Fabricators is a completely Direct CNC built-in fabricator with over 200,000 square toes of production area in Chicago and 60,000 in Elk Grove Village. With almost a century of work to our credit, CMF has fabrications in work around the globe. Starting as a metal cupboard and ductwork fabricator in the early twentieth century, CMF makes a speciality of gentle and heavy parts from 20 gauge up to as} 7″ plate.

Visionaries and GPT advice - raw transcript

This is a raw transcript of my chat with OpenGPT 4.0. my input is shown in these black blocks while GPT's response is in the lighter sections. Lots of interesting tidbits, but I think it shows some of the conversational power of the technology. I'll edit and summarize this later... there have been many visionaries in the past who studied ways that humanity could lift itself up with improved intelligence. I am looking for these thinkers, and would like to learn how GPT-4 opens new avenues to explore their thinking using AI. Who were these thinkers? Many visionaries throughout history have explored ways to enhance human intelligence and elevate our collective understanding. Some prominent thinkers in this area include: Francis Bacon (1561-1626): An English philosopher and scientist, Bacon is known for developing the scientific method. He believed that knowledge could be systematically pursued and organized to improve human life. René Descartes (1596-1650): A French philosop

openGPT chat ab out the using language model for health care

 This is a transcript of an openGPT chat I had January 27, 2022.  My comments are preceded with "T:" and it's comments are preceded with a C: T: I'm wondering how I can use you to reform our health care system C:There are many ways that a language model like me can be used to help reform the healthcare system. One way is by using natural language processing to analyze large amounts of data from electronic medical records to identify patterns and insights that can inform the development of more effective treatments and policies. Additionally, I can be used to generate written content, such as reports, presentations, and educational materials, that can be used to educate healthcare professionals and the general public about important healthcare issues. Additionally, I could assist in creating chatbots that can interact with patients, providing them with information about their health, and helping them schedule appointments, and answer some of the common questions.
