The assumption is that there are certain physical laws (‘equations’) that all matter must obey, epitomized in the Newtonian paradigm. In sum, this is an ‘upward’ theory of causation. … What is causing scientists to consider that one must go beyond analysis is their dawning realization that upward causality contains no explanation for why complexity increases. Note that “complex forms emerge” is not an answer: emergence is a descriptive concept, not an explanatory one.

The idea here of “emergent misalignment” feels _real_ important. This tells me all sorts of properties are emergent and we probably have no clue about many (most?) of them while racing to deploy them everywhere.

Science : What really makes water wet? | New Scientist

newscientist.com/article/mg153

The New Scientist article from way back in 1997 documenting the experiment showing that it takes six water molecules to produce “wetness”. You cannot infer wetness from one or two or even five molecules of water. #complexity #emergence #cclinks

Agree with Spiner's performance in the episode, especially with how this episode is generally viewed as being in a deathmatch with #Emergence for worst #StarTrekTNG episode.

Common features in children who claim to have led a previous life include a verbal precocity and mannerisms at odds with that of the rest of the family. Unexplained phobias or aversions have also been thought to have been transferred over from a past existence.

Leave the year behind; we must always move forward

Goodbye to 2024, a year that brought me growth and opportunity, a third novel published and new opportunities to do readings, share thoughts, and learn from others. It wasn't the easiest year and there were certainly disappointments, but I'm not going to rehash those. There's going to be plenty of time to deal wit

Pretty crazy that the humans don't actually seem to do it any faster in a group.

Does anyone know how much signalling is happening between the ants?

The comment about emergence kind of makes me wonder if communication is inversely proportional to self-organising emergence in some contexts..

so i am going to post a thread of some graphs about the human situation on the planet. some show data, some show concepts. all of them are going to be pretty depressing, so buckle up.
