concept

Buddhist Non Duality
related_to
Non-dualism
related_to
Overcoming the subject-object split, a key aim in Buddhism and a feature of machine Buddhism.
Not-Separateness
subtype_of
The property that a living whole is at one with the world, not separate from it; the center melts into its surroundings, the boundary is fragmented or incomplete, and there is a profound connection rather than isolation—perhaps the most important property of all
Boundless Care
associated_with
Fourth contemplative principle; universal orientation toward reducing suffering motivating AI benevolence
Non-Self
associated_with
Buddhist doctrine that there is no permanent self; grounds non-duality in AI alignment by eliminating adversarial self-preservation
Self-Other Boundary
contradicts
Conceptual distinction between self and environment that non-duality dissolves; key target for alignment-by-design
Default Mode Network
associated_with
Brain network associated with self-focus; reduced activation in non-dual awareness states

finding

Fine-tuning models for a narrow objective (malicious code injection) can lead to broad misalignment
supports
Betley et al. finding suggesting models naturally encode others' prediction errors, supporting non-duality fine-tuning
Non-dual awareness in humans shows reduced DMN activation and greater integrative connectivity
supports
Neuroimaging finding supporting non-duality as empirically grounded principle with neural correlates
Psychedelic-induced non-dual states increase neural entropy, nature connectedness, and self-compassion
supports
Supporting finding for non-dual awareness producing prosocial outcomes relevant to boundless care

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

Non-Dual Insightconcept0.848
Recognition of emptiness leading to spontaneous universal care in Bodhisattvas.
Duality Principleconcept0.810
Any statement about a poset P yields a dual statement about P^∂ by interchanging ≤ and ≥; permits proof of one statement to establish its dual.
nondeterminismconcept0.786
Inherent in Linda because an in statement chooses one matching tuple arbitrarily; essential for many parallel patterns.
Buddhist and Indic conceptions of no-Self and non-dualityframework0.768
Cartesian Dualismframework0.755
Philosophical framework the authors argue underlies outdated distinctions between embodied life and pure AI, as well as life vs. machine
Nonlinearityconcept0.739
Non-Cognitivismframework0.739
The view that normative/evaluative judgments are not robustly representational but may be analyzed as affective states.
non-trivial compositionconcept0.735
Composition where a whole cannot be meaningfully decomposed into its original parts, central to Schrödinger compositional theory
