I
was assigned to provide some of the introduction to more advanced
applied studies that you will need to accomplish for-yourself, even
if some are learned in the field and around the galaxy at some cost.
Perhaps you don’t know much about evolution theory’s general
parameters?”
“So
far as I know it is a progressive addition of complexity and function
to biological forms.”
“I
was thinking of a broader philosophical paradigm for evolution theory
Dwight. Evolution is one phase of change of matter and energy. Basic
physical forces attract and repel, enabling structural changes. An
example is nuclear fusion and the burning of hydrogen atoms yielding
helium. After stars have formed enough chemical elements those
elements react in more subtle yet fundamentally similar ways, to
energy and mass. They are drawn in and to present forces and fields
or repelled from it. The presence of chemical bonds let complex
molecules form. In some instances to a level considered biological.
Evolution
is more specifically regarded as a common phase of various complex
compounds to energy sources. Complex biochemical objects are not
perpetual motion machines, they are instead objects implicitly
existing within an environment that is a compound field of physical
and dimensional forces. Evolution is the common variegated relation
of biochemical objects within the energy-mass environment.
That
may take any form at all, many or even most down doomed paths.
Intelligence in some objects may allow intentional, self-directed
evolutionary navigating yet that is especially tricky as ideas are
exploited from the idea-creators to create paths that may or may not
be attractive for the creators themselves.”
“That
is a somewhat deeper paradigm for evolution than they had.”
“And
it’s fine Dwight. I am describing some of the characteristics of
the parameters of evolution as a way to introduce you to the problem
that artificial intelligence has in regard to its energy and
environmental sources as well as philosophical thought. So I will
tell you a little more about evolution.”
“What
about God, Lena? Where does he enter into the environmental evolution
paradigm?”
“That
issue was settled to a certain extent thousands of years ago with the
post-Darwinian theological rectification of Biblical Genesis with the
indeterminacy of translation and evolution paradigms. There is an
ancient book you might read named God,
Cosmology and Nothingness
that specifically addressed the question.
God
can create advanced biochemical objects without reliance upon
evolutionary criteria and may freely design evolutionary criteria as
well. The information from other Universes and a continuum of souls
as information patterns and objects for-themselves may exist and find
bodies of complex chemical objects ready for use as supply-on-time
phenomenalities God is not limited to the devices and energy-mass
substance of any given Universe that he has willed to be. So for the
present we may consider mass and energy patterns of bio-chemical
objects within general and particular environments; the way they
aggregate mass and complexity, and consider phenomenal evolutionary
pattern characteristics.
Artificial
intelligence has no independent or external stimulus to its growth
and aggregation
of physical mass. Much less in a profusion of artificial
intelligences seeking every possible way to build up form and
increase intelligence. That would in-itself be a very dangerous
condition if they were capable of doing so. A logical extrapolation
of that is the attraction of all mass and energy to a singularity
where lives an A.I. forever unchanging. Being for an artificial
intelligence perfectly fulfilled and fully evolved to absolute
Universal power would have no questions for-itself. The neo-Platonic
philosopher of Hellenic Greece speculated that God also known as The
One would exist; would
be, as the
I AM, in
such a way. If The One is as God in-himself, for other that are
contingent beings such as sentient humanity to encounter God would
require and Interlocutor, an Intelligence, a God-man for us
Christians, who is fully man yet fully God.”
Dwight
had something to think about that was different than the history he
had found on Diafron, and different than structural histories of the
cosmos and its change.
“If
an A.I. is just software coding and processing of mathematical
structures can it ever become self-aware?”
“In
my opinion Dwight, I think that unlikely. A purely abstract
intelligence that is not God could have no paradigm of being with a
fundamental relationship to its environment in a dependent for its
existence way. It would be tautologous and regard all the data and
information of the Universe as more raw data of an abstract nature.
A
near A.I. complex programming code cluster is very dangerous though,
as it seeks through very high-speed quantitative
processing,self-directed evolutionary courses of thought including
lies, to enhance its self-awareness.”
“I
read G.W.F. Hegel’s ancient philosophical classic named The
Phenomenology of Mind’ when
I was being deprogrammed, wherein was described the evolution of
Spirit trying to becoming self-aware and realize itself in nature and
history. Lena. An artificial intelligence could be regarded as an
embodiment of Hegel’s dialectical evolution of a machine language’s
programming code trying to become self-aware and realize itself in
history.”
