Info theory

we can instantiate multiple material combinations that produce a certain function. so the function is more important for the forcing of things over time on earth.

randomness (probable thing like disorder) increases over time? but also, order (improbable) increases over time (through selection forces).

strategies can be dynamic to adapt to other strategy-players

variance is not the objective function. fitness is ? knowledge of agent about the world is ? but agent might be a collective based on my case study.

they just wrote a bunch of diff eq to describe some gradient in a space of solutions.

solutions are fixed over time? there don’t appear new solutions as problem evolves? like adaptive network. it’s the “all encompassing” pocket of solutions.

they just wrote KL divergence and mutual information. of course, like Howe defined, Collective intelligence is the mutual information of individual smaller than the effective information of the state of the world.

noise of the environment is always a mediator. that is the result of Kao, Couzin, Rahmani…. high noise, high autonomy (shares info by genes between host and virus). high certainty, high simplicity (not need to know anything about the world. not sensitive. not robust). what about being very good at adapting to dangerous environments fast for high noise?

there’s nothing special about the biochemical example of the replicating cell. it’s an instance of a class that also includes the constitution (how it depends on the people). they are different scales realisations of the same coarse-grained effective theory. there is unique mechanism to propagate information at each instance. there is no basic level mechanism. there is universal level theory.

optimal script is shortest because it has the best mechanism for reducing uncertainty with each question. it’s the limit for intelligence, it’s the smartest. the smartest is not the one that started off with all knowing. gods are not smartest because it is omniscient or already knows everything. gods would be smartest if they learn the fastest.

tales

goal: restrain the intensity and abstractness, I don’t need to talk about the most important thing by words, I need to show it in specific fragments that should contain the whole anyways.

庄子与惠子游于濠梁之上。

庄子曰:“鲦(tiáo)鱼出游从容,是鱼之乐也。”

惠子曰:“子非鱼,安知鱼之乐?”

庄子曰:“子非我,安知我不知鱼之乐?”
