Its ultimate goal is to bridge mind and matter in realtime. That is, to have no interface, no medium. Just direct thought to matter which is already experienced in Brain. All this is going on in very fast pace right now. Its becoming cosubstantial with mind by digitization.
Digitization is one step beyond atomization.
Atomization remains material - digitization is spiritual atomization. Very very much the process of 2000 years history. Computer assisted decision making - until now we thought, that decision was only located in the organic mind. We now recognize that neural networks are the sign of computer assisted decision making agents. This is a kind of thing that is going on.
