Andrew Gallimore

“His conclusions are astonishing… And to some they will be horrifying. This book is not to be missed." — Dennis McKenna, PhD DEATH BY ASTONISHMENT: Confronting the Mystery of the World’s Strangest Drug. (St. Martin’s Press, Macmillan). OUT NOW

““Dr. Andrew Gallimore returns to the mind meld to explore his new collaboration with cognitive scientist, Donald Hoffman ... a mind-bending synthesis of altered states research, conscious agents” and mathematics. youtube.com/watch?v=vQi-Cj…

@Doc_Man_G Are you German?????

@alieninsect This is insincere. It’s acting. And it’s weak. All done to preserve the approval of the others you want to leave/ditch. Just say “you bore me” turn on your heel and walk away. In fact, you don’t even need he you bore me part.

I already have a fairly effective set of tools to extract myself from social intercourse but “suddenly overcome by melancholia” is definitely going on the list…

@GaryDeanJenkins @DecrimNat A lot of people have dabbled in me and ended up regretting it.

@DecrimNat @alieninsect Donald Hoffman was a real eye opener for me ... as is Michael Levin. I have dabbled in Andrew, and this just might tie it all together.

One of the most important research into the fundamentals of reality and consciousness through DMT experiences with @alieninsect youtu.be/vQi-Cj5KvAM?is…

Releasing next week: Traces of the Other — the full live event recording featuring @donalddhoffman and @alieninsect. @noonautics

@floweasyganges Happy to help 👍

@alieninsect total steal

@DecrimNat もちろん！

@alieninsect サンキュー⚡️👽⚡️

Excellent choice 👽

@arash_expat @THIRDEYEDROPS @donalddhoffman @Niffe @thetraceinst @noonautics If you read our original paper we discuss a lot of these things there: osf.io/preprints/psya…

That was excellent indeed! Dr. Gallimore I have three questions for you and @donalddhoffman I would really appreciate if you would take a moment to read the following questions: 1- Your mathematics explains how changing the qualia kernel allows access to different regions of experience space and different conscious-agent interactions. But what determines which of those potential interactions become stable enough to form a coherent world rather than remaining as noise? Could coherence itself be a primitive dynamical constraint, not merely a consequence of the qualia kernel, but the symmetry-breaking principle that selects which traces survive into experience? 2- Could altered states be understood not as gaining new information, but as temporarily changing the boundary conditions that determine which interpretations are allowed to stabilize? 3- Your theory beautifully explains how traces arise from interactions among conscious agents. But what mathematically distinguishes a transient trace from one that becomes a stable, shared reality across many agents? Is there room in Conscious Realism for a formal coherence operator that governs which traces survive recursive interaction?

Excellent new interview with @THIRDEYEDROPS where we take a deep dive into my latest collaboration with @donalddhoffman and @Niffe Hermansson... Includes some footage from our event in LA hosted by the Trace Institute @thetraceinst in collaboration with @noonautics [LINK IN REPLY]

@maxlugavere Or a baguette. 🥖

Stop bringing wine to dinner parties. Bring a nice bottle of extra-virgin olive oil. Healthier. Lasts longer. Same price. Thank me later.

@BurtleBartleby @THIRDEYEDROPS @donalddhoffman @Niffe @thetraceinst @noonautics I bit my lip when I read math.

@alieninsect @THIRDEYEDROPS @donalddhoffman @Niffe @thetraceinst @noonautics Maths* 😉

Bound to be a remarkable contribution to the understanding of psychedelics and their revolutionary potential for the treatment of neuropsychological disease…

@RCarhartHarris @THIRDEYEDROPS @donalddhoffman @Niffe @thetraceinst @noonautics Please expand Robin! 🙂

@alieninsect @THIRDEYEDROPS @donalddhoffman @Niffe @thetraceinst @noonautics Can you do that?

Full interview: youtu.be/vQi-Cj5KvAM?si…

@Mavmetax Sure let’s do it.

@alieninsect Hey Andrew, I'm still looking forward to having you on my show Tailspin live on X spaces. When you're available.

Just archetypal imagery or… errr…overactive agency detection modules or whatever… 👽

@arash_expat Did you read the paper? We discuss constraints on perceptibility etc.

So what determines which coherent structures appear when the ordinary constraints on perception are relaxed? Are those traces always there or are they perceived by low constraint interface? Archetypal basically, loops that are never “perceived” in a high constraint field. So that makes entity as a self-maintaining coherent feedback loop that can recursively influence other loops. Can there exist coherent loops that are real but rarely instantiate within human perception?

The Great Psychedelic Entity Debate: Are They Real Or Just Hallucinations? A decent article discussing my recent paper in collaboration with @donalddhoffman and @Niffe Hermansson... [Link in reply]

@arash_expat The existence of an immeasurably vast number of conscious agents is a fundamental feature of conscious agent theory. That the vast majority would be imperceptible to any agent also comes directly from the mathematics of the theory. It’s all in the paper.

Why are there normally imperceptible agents at all? That’s a deeper question. I think consciousness is not fundamental. Participation is. If constraints determine which stable interpretations are possible, then relaxing constraints increases the set of possible coherent interpretations without privileging “entities” over everything else. Because the interface must reduce possibility. Otherwise adaptive action becomes impossible. The limitation is necessary.

@jwoodhorse @donalddhoffman @Niffe Thanks for writing it!

@alieninsect @donalddhoffman @Niffe Thanks for the share, glad you like it!

@HuukoPaikka I wouldn’t be so sure about that…

@alieninsect No "entity" has solved a math problem. Didn't find something which was lost etc etc. Simple proofs
