The goodness of the results is visible in the evident life and in the profound fact that unfolding generates an 'architecture'.claim0.780
The dual validation of living process: life and the emergence of architectural order.
Given two versions of a building, A and B, can we tell empirically which one has more life, in a way which allows people to reach agreement — that is to say, objectively?question0.780
Opening question of the chapter that the entire methodological argument is designed to answer
My method requires that we focus on the inner reality of the observer's feeling of wholesomeness as well.claim0.779
Description of the new method's core.
If the evolution of the natural world follows a step-by-step process in which each step is structure-preserving, then the fifteen properties will appear more and more often, and the degree of life in the wholeness will increase steadily.hypothesis0.775
Conditional statement linking smooth unfolding to the progressive emergence of the fifteen properties and increased life.
For the first time in modern history, ways of thinking are available that make the criteria for 'living' potentially sharable and actually shared.claim0.771
Asserts that the theoretical foundation laid out in the four books provides a public quality standard for sequences.
We must develop principled approaches to evaluating the sentience of (and thus, our responsibility to) beings of unfamiliar provenance and composition.claim0.769
Call to action for new frameworks.
Does the multi-directional nature of truth imply an underlying nonlinear representation, or is it compatible with linear separability?question0.768
Theoretical open question about the geometry of truth in LLMs raised in Discussion
We may then arrive at a picture of the world which includes the self, and which clearly recognizes the personal nature of the universe.claim0.766
