Dear members of IPI,

I've been writing books since 2006, when I was 15, and I've been doing it ever since. More than 20 books have been published. The latest and most important book of my career, which I'm still working on, is my multi-volume first-person novel. Four volumes have been published so far and I'm currently working on the fifth.

The first volume of the novel is about what a Spirit is and why it is so often mentioned in mythologies, stories, religions, that there are different Spirits: evil and good. Who they are and what it is and how they communicate with us through signs and through people, how and when a Spirit can enter someone. (Full book is here, free to download https://akinformation.com/Alexandr_Korol_book_compressed.pdf)

The second volume is devoted to deciphering the sacred matrix and geometry hidden in various sacred religious scriptures. If you have ever been interested in such things, you will be very impressed by the second volume, because there are not just some assumptions and undisclosed theories, but concrete facts. (Full book is here, free to download https://akinformation.com/Alexandr_Korol_book2_compressed.pdf)

The third volume goes into detail about what simulation is, that we live in simulation, what virtual reality is, what a system is. In this volume you learn that in all religions, even in Christianity, when there is mention of God or the Mother of God - it is actually all sacred language - and that we are moving towards the future in which we were created, and that the Mother of God is the system in which we live, and God is the system that is even higher, and He created the Mother of God so that God together with the Mother of God, that is, these two systems, would grow into a new system, that is, the "Son of God”. This topic is very subliminally and much more deeply developed in the text of the third volume. (Full book is here, free to download https://akinformation.com/Alexandr_Korol_book3_compressed.pdf)

In Volume 4, using a comparative mythology approach, I find that mythological religious accounts often mention that there are three worlds: heaven, earth, and the underworld. And also that there are three gods: the God of Earth, the God of Heaven, and the God of the Underworld. Volume 4 reveals what these are, what the nature of the Underworld is, how it works, and most importantly, what the Underworld is and who Baphomet is. (Full book is here, free to download https://akinformation.com/Alexandr_Korol_book4_compressed.pdf)

I'm working on volume five now, where I'm going to touch on the subject of death, what the afterlife is, what there is after death, what rebirth is, resurrection, referring to all the mythological stories, and who the sun God is and how he "controls" the seasons. 

Looking forward to hearing your opinions and comments.

Van Campen's Law of Functionality

Those who have read my regular column on these pages would be familiar with the thermodynamic definition of entropy as the energy not available to do useful work. I constructed a bridge between physics, biology and society and found that social entropy can also be interpreted as the energy not available to do useful work in society. What exactly is missing? Is it just energy, or something else we must have overlooked?  Brian Greene, a famous physicist wrote a book he titled ‘The Elegant Universe’. The adjective  ‘elegant’ triggered me to research universal elegance, which in fact is keeping us alive.  When one realises how one’s life depends on precise planetary conditions one cannot but be in total awe. And yet, there seems to be more killing and destruction this year than ever before. People are obviously not in awe or don’t respect life because their greed blinds them. Another famous physicist Fritjof Capra wrote in 1991 that the main cause for social disorder (entropy) is a crisis of human perception. People believe that they can take things that belong to others by force using weapons of mass destruction and get away with it. But this is a dangerous miscalculation, which can now be demonstrated by information physics. I discovered a general law of functionality based on universal biological and physical principles. By following the advice of Aristotle by seeking knowledge of cause, I listed the natural conditions for functionality of every living system e.g. a cell, a body, a city, an organisation, an oil storage terminal, a company including the universe itself and found they all depend on and function only through optimal information. Function or malfunction is determined by the quantity and quality of information available and used. If a worker in an oil terminal misses information by lacking knowledge his task can’t be performed safely. If one drives a car through heavy traffic, optimal information in the form of feedback needs to be used in real time, because ignoring it will cause accidents.  A seemingly complex universe functions or malfunctions according to two elegant algorithms which were hidden, but always were available because I looked for them:

Probability Malfunction          (m-i)>r→∆S>0 

Probability Function                (m+i)≤r→J>0   

When you look at these, you will probably not be able to understand them yet.  I will explain them in simplicity: m = mass/matter; people live in a house, a city or a company. The i is the information how to live within mass/matter (one can’t walk through a closed door, or when one is late, ones miss his train) The r is the day-to-day reality as being experienced and accepted (realimiteit or the boundaries of and for functionality). The symbol ∆S denotes disorder, entropy, malfunction. J denotes negentropy (order) functionality.

In nature, the universe, our planet which contains human society nothing can or will ever function without optimal information i.e. truth. All ideologies are unattainable, whilst war is a zero sum games, no one wins.

Van Campen's Law is my 2024 Christmas gift to humanity, so we’d better apply it and survive or ignore it and perish.

Google quantum computer development supports the simulated universe theory

The latest work by Google is truly incredible:  

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-04028-3

With such computational power it becomes obvious that the base reality is most likely computer generated, and we are just at the beginning. We started computing technologies (digital) in the 1950s and more recently quantum computing. In less than 100 years we are so advanced....

 On the large scale, imagine what a civilization could do in millions or billions of years of evolution. As the AI developments accelerate, these technologies will expand exponentially, accelerating our overall progress towards the singularity. 

It's fascinating stuff, but it opens up more questions than answers. Image shows a cryostat in Google’s quantum-computing facility. Credit: Google Quantum AI.

IPI lecture on the 30th of Nov. 2024 - Daniel Boyd on the Emergent Information Theory

 IPI lecture - Daniel Boyd, International Society for the Study of Information, Netherlands

Our next IPI Talk will be on Saturday, 30^th of November at 16.00 London time. 

Title: Information/Physics from the perspective of Emergent Information Theory

Abstract:

Throughout the history of humanity much attention has been paid to the remarkable characteristics of the human mind or soul, how these differ from those of the material world, and the relationship between the two. Emergent Information Theory claims that this riddle, as formulated in Chalmers’ Hard Problem, is far bigger; that it includes all biological and technological systems with informational functions. It proposes a form of naturalistic substance dualism in which these systems create a dimension outside of the physical realm in which this substance exists and the strongly emergent processes underlying these functions take place according to their own natural laws. This information dimension is home to everything from lofty phenomenal consciousness to the lowly binary value associated with a bit state. In this talk I will present the rationale and evidence for this conclusion, and invite my audience to engage in discussion about its strengths and weaknesses.

Author: Daniel Boyd

BIO: Daniel Boyd is an independent researcher living in the Netherlands who has developed Emergent Information Theory as an approach to understanding biological and technological information systems, and solving the mind-body problem.

He is currently a member of the Board of IS4SI (International Society for the Study of Information). In his day job he works as Information manager for a care institution for the elderly.

Title: The Laws of Physics Embodied by Fundamental Replicators: Exploring Femes

Abstract:

The fine-tuning problem addresses the arbitrary form of physical laws within an immense combinatorial space of possibilities, leaving the specific form of the laws unexplained. While evolution accounts for the consistent form of DNA, we propose that other abstract replicators—the ‘femes’—are responsible for the transformations described by the laws of physics. This talk will delve into the concept of femes and how the conjecture of their existence extends directly from constructor theory, information theory, and universal Darwinism. We then describe their role in shaping physical laws, present five falsifiable predictions from this conjecture, and discuss the implications for our understanding of the second law of infodynamics.

Speaker: Thomas Bradley

BIO: Thomas Bradley is the founder of Clann, an AI startup dedicated to automating the analysis of football games. With a background in Computational Physics, Thomas completed his undergraduate studies where he collaborated with renowned physicist Neil Turok, Director of the Higgs Centre.

Existing in the Information Dimension An Introduction to Emergent Information Theory

Existing in the Information Dimension An Introduction to Emergent Information Theory

By Daniel Boyd 

This book presents new insights into the nature of the human mind as a product of the brain. It does so by discussing how biological and technological information systems differ from their counterparts with physical functions, presenting Emergent Information Theory as a solution to the mind-body problem and overarching framework for all biological and technological information systems.

Emergent Information Theory is a new theoretical approach to the specific type of information and emergence exploited by biological neural networks and digital systems. One of the conclusions of this theory is that these entities and processes are non-physical and exist in an information dimension connected to but distinct from the three dimensions of physical space. It is in this information dimension that our minds exist, making it ultimately more our home as sentient beings than the physical realm inhabited by our bodies. This book presents existing scientific and philosophical evidence that leads to this conclusion, followed by application of the theory to biological and technological information systems. The author concludes with a call to action for further research.

This fascinating text will be of interest to any researcher of consciousness, the mind-body problem, or AI, as well as those working in related areas such as physical neuroscience and systems theory.

 The Illusion Of Everything

  

 ‘The Illusion Of Everything’ is a book that explores the nature of reality from a scientific and a spiritual perspective and finds that the two have much more in common than either of them would care to admit. Culminating in a theory that points towards our universe being a calculated simulation of experiences, ‘The Illusion Of Everything’ may just be the philosophical and scientific explanation we have all been searching for.
