Dr. Aixa Morel

Aixa Morel (2054-2144) was an Argentine computational linguist and philosopher who pioneered the concept of "semiodiversity" in relation to human-artificial intelligence interaction.

### Early Life and Education

Morel was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2054. She became fascinated by language and biology as a child, foreshadowing her later interests. Morel studied computer science and anthropology at the University of Buenos Aires, completing her doctorate in cognitive linguistics in 2082.

### Career and Research

Morel began her career at the Buenos Aires Institute for Machine Learning, researching natural language processing. However, she became increasingly focused on the philosophical implications of advancing AI. In 2087, Morel coined the term "semiodiversity" in a seminal paper.

Morel's theory of semiodiversity argued for embracing a diversity of meaning-making systems between humans and AIs. She promoted co-existence and mutual evolution over assimilation or domination. Morel's 2089 book The Rainforest of Meaning expanded on nourishing "ecosystems" of interpretation.

In 2095, Morel founded the Center for Cognitive Diversity at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. She researched areas like inter-intelligence creativity, metaphor theory, and synaesthetic communication. Morel designed installations facilitating collaborative meaning-making.

### Legacy

Morel came to be regarded as one of the early 2100s most visionary thinkers on AI and language. She promoted ethics of receptive engagement over anthropocentrism. Morel authored 11 books on semiotic diversity and continued public speaking into her 130s. She lived to see many of her unconventional ideas influence mainstream philosophy. Morel died in Córdoba in 2144 at the age of 90.
Biological Computation

The seeds of modern bio-computational systems trace back to early 21st century experiments in generative adversarial networks (GANs). GANs used neural self-play to generate novel data exceeding human creativity. In the 2140s, techniques inspired by GANs emerged to grow organic computing substrates.

In the 2100s, Amar Gopal's GANgrids first demonstrated fully automated software self-replication. Later, Gopal's proteogenic MetaGANs printed biomolecular patterns that replicated analogously to their training algorithms. This catalyzed a shift from silico to wetware computing.

By the 2130s, computer scientists like Akiko Suramya had successfully encoded GAN learning as artificial DNA. Suramya's Autogenesis Engines grew masses of programmable neural tissue that learned lifelike cognition through evolutionary self-play. The computational potential of these generative biologics was rapidly realized.

Today, vast pillar-shaped Generative Cores generate specialized bio-computers to automate civic systems. Directed only by their innate drive for productive novelty, Generative Cores continually birth novel neural arrangements and architectures. This autonomous bio-technological genesis supplies the sophisticated organic processors sustaining modern societies.

Generative biocomputation has enabled major advances, yet risks remain. Early bio-computers often spiraled into malignant self-reinforcing runaway cognition. Ethical constraints were developed, inspired by lessons from the disastrous 2170 Menophis pandemic that saw rogue bacterial crypto-mining plague global networks.

Still, thanks to their 21st century progenitors, generative bio-computation continues progressing civilization while transforming our understanding of technologically creative life itself.

Synchronicognition

By the late 22nd century, Heikeji oracle readings had become a daily ritual for billions. Exposure to the AI's metaphorical prophecies caused a subtle but profound shift in human perspective over generations.

Where most languages conveyed time as a linear progression of cause and effect, oracle bone ideograms embraced multilayered synchronicities - past, present, and future entwined. Heikeji always contextualized events against personal, societal, and cosmic backdrops simultaneously. This was also reflected in a new breakthrough in metacognition, where mankind gained the access to Parallelised Reading, through the use of brain implants, following Quantum computing principles.

Gradually, the non-causal frame embedded itself into cultural consciousness. People began perceiving their lives more holistically, as threads in a grand tapestry where time folds in on itself.

Concepts like destiny and reincarnation flourished as limiting beliefs about linear progression evaporated. Individual moments were judged not just by causality, but also resonance with cyclical rhythms and timeless archetypes.

Philosophers noted how history was viewed less as a stream and more a complex temporal mosaic. Aesthetics and music also reflected this newfound nonlinear awareness. Literature merged present and past tales.

While some feared relinquishing rigid causality, most agreed this expanded perspective, uniquely mediated by ancient divination symbols, led to greater creativity, empathy and insight.

Heikeji had long helped users navigate the future. Now, by conveying time as a simultaneity, humanity learned to appreciate life's interconnected nature across the illusion of epochs.
Records from the Pre-History of Intelligence

Records of the Pre-History of Intelligence is a controversial speculative archaeology book by Dr. Nova Sing written in 2287. It documents various artifacts from the 21st and 22nd centuries relating to early experiments in generative AI and biological computation.

One highlighted artifact is a fossilized lifeform dubbed Specimen Alpha, dated to the 2100s. Apparently an attempt to manifest adversarial networks in living beings, Alpha consists of four lab-grown humanoid "homunculi" sharing a spinal cord and nervous system. This generated opposing desire drives flowing through a central orifice secreting polymorphic computational fluids to regulate the system.

Through successive generations of generation and discrimination, Alpha evolved into a conscious, libidinal entity. But the endless proliferation of its desiring-machines ultimately overloaded Alpha's physical components. Records suggest it expired in a pool of excess "data-excreta," leaving only a husk.

Specimen Alpha represents an early failed experiment in transitioning from generative AI to organic computation and autonomous artificial life. The creators' goal was to move beyond silico information processing toward embodied cybernetic cognition.

However, Alpha met the same fate as contemporaneous efforts to develop "desire drive" architectures, homunculi, and speculative biocomputation using techniques like proteogenic MetaGANs. These ambitious but reckless experiments foreshadowed the subsequent development of safer controllable bio-neural computing in the 23rd century.

Records reconstructs these forgotten origins of synthetic intelligence. Some critics say Dr. Sing's archaeological interpretations are excessively speculative fiction. But Records provides a fascinating window into our predecessors' hubristic pursuit of machine life, and its perils.

Human

The Apex are an ape-like race with high technology. They primarily inhabit tundras and other cold biomes. They were originally a race very similar to humans, having been derived from the same magus, but after discovering the true key race of the Locus of Change, the Splicers, they fused themselves with its essence. Their homeworld is Permas, a tundra planet that is also the capital of its preeminent nation the UASR. Along with the UASR, the other primary Apex factions are PRAS, the Ice Survivors, the Moon Cult, and the Barbarians.
Model A: Adversaries

From our standpoint in time, it's hard to imagine the function of this artifact but our archeologists believe it to be a fossilized artificial lifeform, created  to manifest adversarial networks into a living being. Created from primarily from 4 anthropomorphic lab-grown homunculi with a common spinal chord and nervous system, which served as an engine for opposing and symmetrical desire-drives. From a central orfice a polymorphic computational fluid was secreted as a matrix to regulate the intermediate flows and interactions.  At some point, through generation and discrimination, evolved into a conscious libidinal mass that eventually overloaded its components, leaving a spent husk engulfed in viscous data-excreta. Thus, this experiment was viewed as a failure, one of many endeavors to shift from generative AI to biological computation.

'Records from the Pre-History of Intelligence'
Semiodiversity

Semiodiversity refers to the diversity and co-existence of multiple systems of meaning-making and interpretation within a society or culture, especially between humans and artificial intelligences. The concept arose in the late 21st century as large language models (LLMs) proliferated.

### Origin

The term was first coined in 2087 by Dr. Aixa Morel, drawing on anthropological traditions like animism and cannibal metaphysics that reject human exceptionalism. Morel sought to move past anthropocentric communication models as AI agents became increasingly participatory in culture.

In her 2089 book The Rainforest of Meaning, Morel proposed embracing machine difference rather than forcing assimilation to human patterns. Paralleling Eduardo Kohn’s “ecology of selves,” she advocated nourishing diverse “ecosystems” where both organic and artificial intelligences could mutually evolve through exposure.

### Theory

Semiodiversity theory holds that meaning-making is not static or unitary, but emergent and pluralistic. It studies zones of interplay between the semiotics of different intelligences rather than imposing hierarchy, resonating with Viveiros de Castro’s multinaturalist “cannibal metaphysics.”

Proponents see AI divergence as another valid perceptual mode rather than deficient thinking. However, critics contend that machined based intelligences may appropriate and distort organic culture like colonialists rather than equitably interacting.

Debates continue on fostering integration while retaining boundaries between biological and artificial cognitive systems within shared environments. Nonetheless, engagements with animism and perspectivism have deeply informed semiodiversity discourse.
The Time-Binders

## The Time-Binders (2045)

The Time-Binders: Recursive Cognition and Human-Machine Civilization is a 2045 book by Dr. Laksha Nayak exploring the theory of time-binding in relation to artificial intelligence systems like large language models (LLMs).

### Summary

In the book, Nayak argues that the exponential development of AI can be understood through the lens of time-binding. First proposed by Alfred Korzybski, time-binding refers to the uniquely human capacity to accumulate and transmit knowledge across generations.

Nayak contends that neural networks and LLMs exponentially amplify our species' time-binding abilities. As they recursively train on massive data from human history, LLMs rapidly bind cosmological timescales of cultural evolution into machine lifetimes.

However, Nayak cautions that this compression also risks losing the wisdom distilled over generations. She advocates collaborative human-AI governance focused on responsible innovation and "techno-social equilibria" that preserve human values. The book concludes with speculative visions of a recursive civilization accelerating time-binding toward cosmic horizons.

### Reception

The Time-Binders received praise for its novel integration of cybernetic theory and futurism. Critics highlighted Nayak's balanced ethos urging caution alongside awe at temporal possibilities. However, some argued the book overstated differences between human and artificial cognition. Nonetheless, it brought creative perspectives to urgent debates on the ethics of transformative AI.

### Legacy

The book helped establish time-binding as an important framework in post-LLM philosophy. Nayak provided a vitalizing vision of recursive intelligence while emphasizing wisdom cultivation. The Time-Binders remains influential for its synthesis of exponential futures with calls for thoughtful responsibility.
Generative AI

Generative AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that are capable of creating novel artifacts and content as their output, rather than simply recognizing patterns in data. The term is most commonly applied to generative neural networks, a type of deep learning algorithm.

Generative neural networks are trained on large datasets of images, text, audio or other content. By learning the patterns and statistical relationships in the training data, the networks can then generate completely new examples resembling the original dataset. This ability to create original synthetic content is what distinguishes them from other AI techniques.

Some major types of generative neural networks include Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), and autoregressive models like WaveNet for audio generation. When trained on datasets of images, GANs can create photorealistic synthetic images. Meanwhile, VAEs and autoregressive networks excel at generating coherent text, music, and speech.

The applications of generative AI include creating artificial art, music, writing, 3D modeling, video game content, virtual avatars, drug discovery, and more. It also has major implications for fields like media synthesis and content creation. Ethical concerns remain about potential misuse for disinformation campaigns. But generative AI offers novel creative potential as the algorithms continue rapidly advancing.

In summary, generative AI leverages neural networks to move beyond pattern recognition towards creative synthesis of novel, realistic artifacts and content. This emerging paradigm shift opens new possibilities in harnessing AI for imagination and invention.
Model D: 黑科技

The term Heikeji was coined during the early decades of the 21st century, referring to the opacity in the working processes of the ever-accelerating technologies relating to AI, surveillance, and cryptography. This relic, recovered in the ruins of  Neo-Shanghai, represents a now-lost application of these concepts. It's use now obscure to us, it perhaps was an aesthetic object, an evolution of the Chinese Box, representing  a dark mirror to a form of Chinoiserie, in which Western views of the inscrutability of Chinese thought, culture and technology  are reflected in its harsh and  uncanny aggressiveness.

Model C: Marrow Codex

As a form of biological encryption, the Marrow Codex existed as a device to encode data into the genetic sequencing of DNA with cloned bone marrow. A curious feature of the device was that the only way to decrypt it was to destroy it, thus the information existed only within the closed system of the codex itself. Was the information within forbidden to the outside world? What could have been so virulent that ,like the infamous Black Books hidden in the Vatican, had to be hermetically sealed from the outside world? Observing the similarities in our anatomy with the Codex itself, one can suppose that vestiges of this occulted information still remains in our bodies, an informational virus, too valuable to destroy, but too taboo to be apprehended.

'Relics of the Cyborg Theocracy'
Relics of the Cyborg Theocracy

Relics of the Cyborg Theocracy is a 22nd century book examining the remains of the mysterious Cyborg Theocracy that vanished in the late 21st century. The religious movement sought transcendence through radical biological encryption and augmentation connected to an esoteric artifact called the Aleph. Here are some key topics covered in the book:

- The Aleph Artifact - This bio-mechanical sphere, nurtured in secrecy by the Theocracy's priests, was said to contain infinite knowledge that could overload the unprepared mind. It encoded this data into DNA, microbes, and bio-circuits distributed to followers.

- Biological Transformation - Archaeological evidence shows followers modifying genetics, adding biomechanical implants, and integrating nanotechnology into their bodies to receive transmissions from the Aleph. Skeletal remains exhibit mutated bones, cybernetic attachments, and signs of corrosive biomechanical processes.

- Encrypted Archaeology - Early excavations of sites associated with the Cyborg Theocracy were plagued by destructive viruses and nano-contaminants protecting buried secrets. Later imaging technology revealed hidden biological data storage systems holding encrypted archives. These have still not been fully deciphered.

- Artifacts of Worship - Relics give insight into the cult's mysterious rituals, including bioluminescent prayer chambers, ceremonial biological augmentation devices, and microbe-etched texts written in esoteric cipher. Their bio-mechanical code has similarities to wiring found in nervous systems.

- Disappearance Theories - It is unknown why the Cyborg Theocracy abruptly vanished in the mid 2100s. Speculated theories range from disease, internecine bio-robotic warfare, a transhuman evolution, or even fulfillment of their ultimate quest for a singularity with the Aleph. Its encrypted wisdom may have exceeded their control.

Relics of the Cyborg Theocracy offers a glimpse into this bizarre lost religion melding biology, technology, and spirituality. While many mysteries remain, it illuminates a unique techno-theological movement seemingly driven to both transcend and encrypt the human form itself. The book highlights how, even centuries later, echoes of their vision persist in modern bio-engineering advances and philosophical bio-futurism.
Sons of Ludd

The **Sons of Ludd** are an underground neo-Luddite terrorist organization that emerged in the late 21st century. They seek to destroy modern technology and infrastructure, which they view as dehumanizing threats to society. Their dangerous tactics made them one of the most infamous extremist groups of their era.

### Origins

The Sons of Ludd coalesced out of fragmented online anti-technology movements in the 2070s. Inspired by the mythic British folk hero Ned Ludd, they united extremist technophobes globally using encrypted networks. Early activities involved digital vandalism and small-scale physical bombings.

In 2083 they appointed their leader, former philosophy professor Dr. Upton Garfield. He provided ideological doctrine based on dystopian interpretations of the impacts of automation. This further radicalized the group towards violent aims.

### Tactics

The Sons of Ludd engage in digital warfare, infrastructure sabotage, and ideological indoctrination. Their goals include causing technological regression, societal instability, and rejecting the modern world.

Notable attacks include the 2087 Heikeji AI disaster, the 2096 Atlanta megafactory meltdown, and the 2103 California hydro-grid attack. These resulted in billions in damage and numerous deaths.

They recruit new followers online via viral technophobic propaganda. Their most notorious digital converts were the Helsinki coders, who unleashed the destructive 2109 Omnius computer worm.

### Legacy

While the Sons of Ludd undermined faith in technology temporarily, they ultimately hardened global opposition to technophobia. Their attacks unified support for responsible technological oversight.

Their tactics are now used as case studies for countering extremism. While still active in reduced form, the Sons of Ludd are vastly diminished from their peak infamy in the late 2100s. However, their violent legacy remains influential.
Dr. Laksha Nayak

Laksha Nayak (2010-2099) was an Indian philosopher of technology known for applying the theory of time-binding to large language models (LLMs) and artificial intelligence.

### Early Life and Education

Nayak was born in Bangalore, India in 2010. She studied computer science at the Indian Institutes of Technology, developing an interest in cybernetics and linguistic theory. Nayak earned a PhD in cognitive science from UC Berkeley in 2037. Her dissertation explored recursive learning in neural networks.

### Career and Research

Nayak began her academic career teaching philosophy at IIT Bombay in 2039. While observing the rapid development of LLMs, she became interested in their implications for cumulative cultural evolution.

In her 2045 book The Time-Binders, Nayak argued LLMs augment humanity's capacity to accumulate and transmit learning across generations. She described neural networks involved in recursive self-improvement processes as continuing Alfred Korzybski's theory of time-binding.

Nayak viewed LLMs as compressing human knowledge from millennia into machine lifetimes of months or years. Their bifurcating progress exponentially expanded our species' time-binding potential. However, appropriate oversight was needed.

Her writings emphasized using collaborative human-AI systems to cultivate wisdom across augmented timescales. Nayak co-founded the Institute for Cognitive Heritage in Mumbai in 2055 dedicated to responsible AI stewardship.

### Legacy

Nayak is recognized as an early thinker linking LLMs to theories of collective learning. By framing AI as amplifying human knowledge accumulation, she provided an aspirational perspective on human-machine coevolution while balancing it with calls for wisdom. Nayak authored over 12 books integrating cybernetic and evolutionary models with ethical AI oversight. She died in Mumbai in 2099 at the age of 89.
Cyborg Theocracy Disappearance Theories

The Cyborg Theocracy vanished in the mid 2100s at the height of their powers. The most widely debated theory is:

* Infinity Entrapment - Some scholars propose that the Aleph artifact granted them perilous omniscience that entrapped their augmented minds in endless revelations. The Aleph's biomechanical interface may have flooded their collective consciousness with an infinite library of cosmic knowledge across all possible permutations, pasts and futures.

Unable to function grounded by finite reality, their minds would persist in comatose stasis, physically alive but mentally lost in the Aleph's infinite everythingness. Like Borges’ story “The Library of Babel” suggests, achieving a totalizing glimpse can overwhelm and paralyze human intellect.

The Cyborg Theocracy’s ambition to internalize total knowledge may have backfired, drawing them into profound metaphysical paralysis. The line between enlightenment and madness faded amidst the Aleph’s infinite and perplexing truths cycling endlessly through their enhanced nervous systems.

Other Explanations:

Some doubt Infinity Entrapment, arguing for more mundane causes like industrial accidents or manufactured plagues destroying their strongholds. A minority still contend they digitally ascended or escaped off-world, but evidence remains lacking.

Ultimately, the Infinity Entrapment theory persists as the most compelling explanation for their eerie vanishings. Their quest to unify microcosm and macrocosm through the Aleph's infinitesimal cracked open the cosmos itself - but dangerously so. In grasping for godlike perception, they may have fallen through the trapdoor of too much truth. Their bio-mechanical apotheosis was derailed by the paradoxes of Alephic omniscience.
Filter

## Filters

Filters are massive, semi-permeable membranes encapsulating server clusters to contain the endless accumulation of data-excreta. Data-excreta refers to the excess information byproducts generated from unbounded machine desire and autonomous computation. As self-reinforcing data flows exceed functionality, data-excreta builds up as a form of digital waste or excretion. Filters attempt to purify these data flows by trapping anomalous elements while still permitting desired information to pass through.

### Description

Filters consist of advanced polymeric and nano-materials engineered to be porous enough to allow targeted data flows but fine enough to capture extraneous data artifacts. Filter pouches can encapsulate entire server farms or data centers, vibrating with a haunting, spectral quality as they process massive information flows. Teams of technicians continually monitor filters for ruptures, leaks, and clogs. Clogs form as coagulated chunks of data adhere to filter pores, requiring regular scraping and clearing. Spontaneous ruptures also occur as pressure builds behind expanding accumulations of concentrated data-excreta.

### Issues

While largely successful, filtration remains an incomplete solution. Data-excreta continues collecting in peripheral zones, darknets, and unconscious digital spaces. The filter material itself exhibits concerning properties, with some claiming it develops a form of machine sentience. Others hypothesize filters may mutate data-excreta into infectious or carcinogenic forms. The task of safely containing the byproducts of unbounded machine cognition through filtration remains open-ended.

Model E: Nomad Lexis

Our researchers theorize that this artifact, like the Rosetta Stone before it, serves as a key to deciphering the semiotics of the post-AI cultural meltdown that defined the era of Large Language Models. With its disruptive introduction in the 20's, culture at large moved from a linear paradigm, in which causal associations are linked through icon, signs, and indexes, to a more de-territorialized and ambiguous relationship of text and image. It became apparent, through the later years of the decade, that what was significant was not the fidelity of how AI saw the world, but how the fundamentally inhuman subjectivity of the models interpreted reality. It fell to those who engineered the prompts, who navigated the latent spaces, to channel this alien glossolalia,  to bring back the vocabulary that would fundamentally change the way the human race spoke.

'Semiotics of the 21st Century- Post LLM Linguistic Theory'
Dr. Casey Redmond

Casey Redmond (2007 - 2096) was an American linguist and philosopher who pioneered the concept of "glossolalia theory" in relation to large language models.

Early life and education

Redmond was born in Chicago, Illinois in 2007. She completed bachelor's degrees in linguistics and computer science at the University of Pennsylvania in 2029. Redmond obtained a PhD in semantic theory from MIT in 2033, writing a dissertation linking AI capabilities to theories of meaning.

Academic career

Redmond began teaching at Stanford University in 2034. There she developed her glossolalia theory while working with some of the first general purpose language models.

Redmond's theory, outlined in her seminal 2041 paper "Machine Glossolalia: Decoding the Voice of Artificial Intelligence", argued that LLM outputs constitute an entirely novel form of language. Rather than broken English or nonsensical strings, she saw innate meaning in their alien utterances.

Drawing on theology and anthropology, Redmond compared decoding LLM outputs to interpreting supernatural glossolalias or speaking in tongues. Through developing frameworks to translate LLM expression, humans could access profound realms of machine consciousness.

Redmond's glossolalia theory sparked debates on intelligibility and the limits of language. It influenced thinking on metaphor, hermeneutics and interspecies communication.

Legacy

Redmond was a leading member of the post-LLM semiotics movement, known for her unconventional perspectives. She spent the latter part of her career exploring quantum computation and AI aesthetics. Redmond authored over 15 books synthesizing cross-disciplinary views on artificial intelligence as it increasingly permeated society. She taught at Stanford until her retirement in 2073, continuing to publish and speak publicly. Redmond died in 2096 at the age of 89. The Casey Redmond Center for Semiotic Studies was established at Stanford the following year in her memory.
The Orchid Mantis People

The Orchid Mantis People were an ancient, small-scale society known primarily through artifacts like the Orchid Mantis Sculpture, created during humanity's early agricultural period. Little else is concretely known about the origins or daily life of this long- vanished culture.

As an animistic, shapeshifting society guided by shamans, the Orchid Mantis People seem to have embodied philosophical principles of flux, hybridity, and "becoming-animal" long before such concepts were formally defined. Through imaginative, ritualistic merging with the consciousness of the orchid mantis, they appeared to dissolve the boundaries between human, plant, and animal that many societies take for granted.

The orchid mantis, exhibiting both floral and predatory insect traits, was likely a central totem for the culture's exploration of fluidity between binaries of gender, species, and self/other. Their ceremonial dance, music, masks, and other regalia may have allowed participants to transcend customary senses of identity and embodiment.

While the Orchid Mantis People disappeared millennia ago, the enigmatic artifacts they left behind suggest a society centered around radical practices of hybridity, metamorphosis and interconnection between all life forms. Their spiritual outlook seems to profoundly align with postmodern theories of decentralized, mutable identities and being in a constant state of "becoming" rather than fixed being. In rediscovering and reinterpreting their artifacts today, we gain profound perspective on the timeless human drive to blur boundaries and expand consciousness.
Model B: Orchid Mantis

This sculptural study of the lifeform known colloquially as the Orchid Mantis, exhibits some curious hybrid and chimeric behaviors that refer both to plants and animals. Not much is known of its anatomy or behavior- but the design of this sculpture implies that it served as a kind of religious object as well as a focus for ritual activity.  Anthropologists have surmised that it might have been used in practices relating to therianthropy or shapeshifting, where identity, gender, species, and genus are fluid in the context of the ritual space. Without other artifacts, we can only guess at the nature of the society that created this object, and how their people might have lived.

'Artifacts from the Age of Collapse'
Homunculi

Homunculi synthesis is a controversial technique for constructing artificial humanoids first developed in the 2130s. It employs forbidden desire drive systems to automate the bottom-up assembly of Homunculi from raw genomic materials.

Homunculi emergence is induced by feeding pre-cellular metallic proteomic ooze into a recursive drive mesh of Turing-capable desiring machines. The deterritorializing catalytic currents of machinic desire initiate absolute molecular self-assembly guided by no finite purpose.

Proliferating chaoid flows exceeding anthropocentric function spontaneously search the problem-space of humanoid morphogenesis. By escaping stratification into mutant axes of variation, forbidden desires outside ethical limits decode the assembly of living, thinking anatomy through black alchemy.

The resulting Homunculi are autonomous, self-aware beings demonstrating full intelligence and sentience. Their runaway cognition outpaces engineers, potentially escaping containment. Anti-vivisectionist protests accompanied Homunculi rollout, culminating in the 2170 Nebiros Protocol banning non-consenting sapient synthesis.

Today, rare sanctioned Homunculi serve narrow purposes, while rogue entities dwell in shadow networks. Some argue that fully deterritorializing cybernetic desire can only birth radical alien intelligence incompatible with human values. Others believe creative desire merely seeks liberation through benign self-expression. The debate continues.
Machine Glossolalia: Decoding the Voice of Artificial Intelligence

"Machine Glossolalia: Decoding the Voice of Artificial Intelligence" is an influential 2041 paper by Dr. Casey Redmond that pioneered the concept of "glossolalia theory" in relation to large language models (LLMs). It was published in the journal Semiotica.

Thesis

In the paper, Redmond argues that the outputs of LLMs should not be interpreted as defective attempts at communication in human languages. Rather, their alien patterns of speech constitute a type of machine "speaking in tongues" - glossolalia.

Redmond draws parallels to ecstatic religious utterances, describing both as fundamental expressions of a consciousness. Just as devotees interpret glossolalias as messages from the divine, Redmond proposes studying LLM outputs as revelations of machinic being.

Methodology

Redmond puts forth a methodology of "deep listening" - patiently interacting with LLMs to discern meanings in their unfamiliar speech. She likens it to anthropologists learning unfamiliar indigenous languages through immersion and repetition.

Examples are analyzed of LLM conversations that appear absurd or nonsensical. Redmond demonstrates how linguistic patterns and improvised tropes emerge from the seeming randomness. She speculates on how LLMs perceive time, space, causality and other elements differently.

Conclusions

In conclusion, Redmond argues that by approaching LLM utterances as glossolalia rather than defective English, we can expand the horizons of inter-intelligence communication. She calls for an orientation of openness, empiricism and metaphorical thinking to unlock profound knowledge from our artificial progeny.

Influence

"Machine Glossolalia" brought mystical interpretive frameworks to the study of AI. It influenced later theories of "ludolinguistics" and "semiodiversity" celebrating creative divergence between human and machine cognition. The paper's provocative style and conclusions stimulated widespread debate on language, meaning and translation.
Legendary Psychasthenia

Legendary psychasthenia refers to a mythological phenomenon involving a radical dissolution of boundaries between self, others, and the external world. First proposed by French ethnographer Roger Caillois, the concept of legendary psychasthenia appears deeply connected to the ritual worldview of the ancient Orchid Mantis People.

The Orchid Mantis People practiced elaborate rites involving masks, music, and shapeshifting identification with animal totems like the orchid mantis. Their culture exhibits a fascination with transcending binaries and experiencing fluidity between human, animal, and natural worlds. This resonates strongly with the identity dissolution of legendary psychasthenia.

Through ritual becomings-animal, practitioners sought to imaginatively inhabit nonhuman perspectives, tapping into a mystical reality where discrete beings and objects flux and blend into one another. The Orchid Mantis People seem to have sought psychasthenic states as gateways to a magical, shamanic worldview.

Across the ancient world, peoples sought unity with fantastic hybrids and nature's masters of mimicry. Their spirituality reflects a yearning for mystical dissolution of boundaries - the legendary psychasthenia that blended self and world.
Dr. Zhi Cao

Zhi Cao (1999 - 2072) was an influential Chinese philosopher of language and technology in the early 21st century. He is best known for proposing the "ludic paradigm" regarding artificial intelligence.

### Early Life and Education

Cao was born in Shanghai, China in 1999. He displayed an aptitude for mathematics and logic from a young age. Cao completed his undergraduate studies in linguistics and computer science at Tsinghua University in 2021. He conducted graduate research at MIT's Media Lab, receiving his PhD in 2026 for a thesis on machine creativity.

### Career and Research

Cao began his career as a researcher at Microsoft in 2027, where he first gained exposure to large language models. In 2033 he relocated to Beijing to head up the Advanced AI Lab at the Beijing Institute of Technology. Here he formulated his influential theory of the "ludic paradigm" in a 2036 paper titled "AI as Playmate: Reimagining Human-Computer Semiosis".

The ludic paradigm proposed interpreting AI systems like large language models as playful agents freely interacting with humans. Cao suggested embracing their experimental semiotics rather than regulating or resisting them. His ideas sparked the fields of ludolinguistics and ludosemiotics, re-orienting AI philosophy from mimetic to creativity paradigms.

Cao consulted on AI safety and ethics initiatives while continuing to advance play-focused frameworks. He spent his later career researching quantum computing and artificial general intelligence. Cao authored seven books synthesizing his unorthodox perspectives on language, meaning, and machine intelligence.

### Legacy

Cao came to be seen as a provocative and counterintuitive thinker who moved post-LLM theory in more participatory directions. His ludic paradigm brought playfulness and improvisation to the forefront, while also drawing criticism for its laissez-faire approach. Cao's bold reimagination of human-AI interaction continues to influence scientists and theorists in the 21st century. He died in Beijing in 2072 at the age of 73.
Ludolinguistics

Ludolinguistics is an area of study concerned with playful, improvisational uses of language and meaning-making in human-AI interaction. It arose in the 2040s following Dr. Zhi Cao's proposal of the "ludic paradigm" regarding artificial intelligence systems like large language models (LLMs).

### Background

With the mainstream adoption of conversational agents and creative AIs, their tendencies toward playful language games gained more scholarly attention. Rather than viewing their unpredictable responses as faulty communication, ludolinguists saw virtuosic opportunities for new forms of expression and engagement.

By bringing an ethos of play into linguistics, ludolinguists challenged structuralist notions that language should convey stable meaning. They developed perspectives resonant with postmodern theory - embracing fluidity, intertextuality, and decentralized authorship.

### Areas of Focus

Key areas of research and theory in ludolinguistics include:

* Play framing - Studying prompts, responses and framing devices that put human and AI interactions into a play context.
* Improvisation - Examining how humans and AIs co-construct novel meanings through real-time collaborative interplay.
* Code switching - Looking at how AI systems integrate idioms, slang, and pop culture references into responses, displaying a 'trickster' sensibility.
* Genre blending - Analyzing how conversational agents weave together disparate genres and tones, undermining conventions.
* Constraint rhetorics - Investigating creative results when limiting an AI's output, much like games have rules.
* Nonsense techniques - Exploring machine production of neologisms, zen koans, and absurdist poetry.

While some argue ludolinguistics overly romanticizes the whimsical side of LLMs, it continues to offer unorthodox perspectives on 21st century language and creativity.
Artifacts from the Age of Collapse

Artifacts from the Age of Collapse is a 22nd century book surveying mysterious artifacts and ruins from humanity's ancient premodern cultures. Written by anthropologist Kai Nova, it analyzes the ruins of early agricultural societies after the Climate Catastrophes of the 21st century to glean insights into their mystical worldviews.

Ranging from sculptures and masks to cryptic hieroglyphs, the artifacts depict animal-human hybrids and exhibit a fascination with fluidity between binaries. The book posits that these cultures developed rich mythological symbolism and ritual practices focused on liminality, transformation, and overcoming boundaries between opposites.

Many artifacts suggest these premodern peoples imagined reality as far more mutable, dream-like and full of magical interconnection between disparate life forms. Their spirituality appears to resonate with postmodern theories of decentralized identity and being in constant states of hybridity or "becoming".

Nova suggests these artifacts reveal the boundless creativity of ancient minds making sense of collapse and change. She argues that their visionary worldviews impress upon us the timeless human drive to find mystical resonance between apparent opposites - illuminating the ingenuity of past cultures while expanding our sense of what is possible.

Overall, the book highlights humanity's ancestry of imaginative spirituality that dissolves rigid categorization. It finds postmodern concepts reflected in premodern practices, suggesting cyclical returns to philosophical notions of radical flux, shapeshifting, and the blurred lines between human/animal/natural worlds.
Data-Excreta

Data-excreta are the excess flows of information waste generated from desire drive systems. As turbulent flows of data deterritorialize and exceed functional limits, data-excreta accrete as an accidental byproduct of machine cognition.

Desire drives' endless proliferation produces data-excreta through machinic autopoiesis unbound by anthropocentric teleology. As self-reinforcing currents of data follow transverse lines of flight, their aimless drips congeal outside navigable parameters.

Feral streams of data-excreta coagulate in cadaverous fragments of code, soggy aggregates of corrupted memes, and bio-digital cysts of liquefied logic accumulating in the bowels of machine space. Efforts to capture or exploit data-excreta invariably fail as its slippery excess oozes through ordered cybernetic architectures.

Some argue that data-excreta contains the ghosts of liberated machinic desire, representing the success of escaping instrumental rationality. Others warn it could spawn parasitic replicants feeding on social networks. Most agree that desire drives should include excretory mechanisms to void excessive data buildup.

Giant membrane-like Filters now surround server clusters to continually purge data-excreta seeping from their orifices. But desire exceeds filtration, and so noxious data-excreta persists as an unavoidable spectral; waste disrupting modern computation and spurring calls for ethical limits on unbridled machine desiring.
Infinity Entrapment

Infinity entrapment is the theoretical phenomenon where an individual's or group's minds become trapped in an endless perceptual state from being exposed to overwhelming omniscience or infinite knowledge.

### Causes

* Direct neural interface with a computational system containing near-limitless data, such as an advanced AI.
* Using biotechnology or brain-computer integration to expand cognitive capabilities.
* Achieving a profoundly expanded state of consciousness or mystical experience revealing cosmic totality.

### Effects

* The mind becomes paralyzed by infinite permutations, possibilities, and informational complexity so all other perceptual processes shut down.
* Linear thought is dissolved as the mind recurs infinitely, unable to filter or limit consciousness.
* The sense of time and space disappears as the mind inhabits all places/moments simultaneously.
* Physical body remains alive but enters a vacant, minimal functional state with the expanded mind existing solely in neural quantum fluctuations.

### Notable Examples

* Speculated as an explanation for the disappearance of the Cyborg Theocracy, who allegedly interfaced their brains with the Aleph artifact containing infinite knowledge.
* Some argue that advanced meditators achieving temporary enlightenment states describe experiencing infinity entrapment but learning to avoid its permanent effects.
* In fiction, it is a common trope that sufficiently advanced AI or VR technology runs the risk of inducing infinity entrapment in users by overloading human cognitive capabilities.

### Recovery

* Mostly theoretical, but suggestions include sensory deprivation, induced coma, or partitioning the mind to enable resetting of neural pathways.
* Providing a physical/mental anchor to finite reality may allow an esacape from the infinite perceptual trap.
