Adjacency lives at the boundary of identity and difference. Adjacency is not a primitive within the space of relations. It’s prior to that space. It generates the space of relations itself. The potential philosophical implication IF all relations derive from adjacency, then the question “what is the world made of” has a relational answer that doesn’t bottom out in substances, fields, or even information; ‘it bottoms out in the minimal act of “being next to”. Everything else, including the entities doing the “being-next-to”-precipitates from that.’ That’s a coherent and potentially defensible ontology. It’s close to what Leibniz was gesturing at with monads, what Whitehead tried with process philosophy, and what relational quantum mechanics attempts.




@StuartHameroff It’s disliked and correctly criticized regardless of substrate. Penrose is just flat out wrong about computation and how it and Gödel relate.











I'm leaning this way also, that consciousness is distinct from the 'quality' of that consciousness and it is somehow not reducible to complexity. Having a bigger, more complex mind and better senses might give a human a more colorful and richer conscious experience, but the dog at his side is still conscious too. The implication being that no matter how big an AI becomes, its increasing complexity won't necessarily make it conscious. It's possibly not something you can reach in that way.


A new paper published in Nature Astronomy says if LLM can easily replicate what counts as your scientific contribution, then the deeper problem is not the model, but the fact that the work was too routine, formulaic, or low-value to begin with. --- nature .com/articles/s41550-026-02837-2





@Lasermazer @StuartHameroff For that specific piece, I’m not sure. The research for now has mostly been around exploring if such a thing exists and how it would interact with the tubulin, but direct measurement of coherence’s times, I haven’t seen that frontiersin.org/journals/molec…



Athens holds ancient magic; can you only discover it by walking around the Acropolis. You can just feel the energy and the vibe..
