🧠🔭 THE HUMAN
LIFE SYSTEM As Evolutionary-Experimental
context I. Premise: The Human as Experimental Set Observation
indicates that a human is: ·
A probabilistic emergence after 3.8
billion years of terrestrial evolution ·
One of currently ~8 billion interchangeable, genetically
limited, ephemeral units ·
Expendable, designed for adaptive
experimentation within cultural and biological ecosystems ·
Operating within a cosmic system whose
emergence procedure is fundamentally automatic, blind, constrained by
physical laws, unpredictable, relativistic and without intrinsic meaning A human,
indeed, every other cosmic emergence, is thus an active (i.e.
seemingly living) hypothesis. evolved to explore the fitness
landscape of possible identifiable reality continuations. II. The Function of the Individual in Evolution 🔹 Short
Lifespan: ·
Not a flaw, but a feature—enhances species
adaptability by allowing rapid generational turnover. ·
Death as functional reset: It
prevents rigidity, stagnation, or over-specialization. 🔹
Consciousness: ·
The emergence of self-reflective consciousness
is not epiphenomenal, but instrumental. ·
It allows for internalized simulation, meaning-creation,
and behaviour modelling—adaptive for both individual and species-level
survival. 🔹 Culture
& Artificial Systems: ·
Humans increasingly offload evolution to techno-cultural
environments (memetic evolution). ·
These systems both destabilize and accelerate
adaptability—an emergent form of evolutionary risk and reward. III. Teleology Revisited: Nature's Goal Is Not the
Individual ·
Nature has no “goals” in the
traditional sense—only mechanisms of continuation. ·
The individual’s ‘I AM’ experience emerges
the illusion of realness, identifiability and centrality as tool for
broader adaptation. Yet, paradoxically: That same
illusion—the experience of "I AM", hence of
‘being’—is the evolutionary payoff., i.e. the self-reward for the achievement
of goal of adaptation. 🔹 Sacred
Parallels: The Ultimate Experience of ‘I AM’ In the
very personal experience
of “I AM” we find ancient echoes of discrete observation and inference: Exodus
3:14 – A
declaration of self-sufficient being, seemingly without origin or
predicate. ‘I AM’ as absolute, quantised cognizable presence. Brihadaranyaka
Upanishad 1.4.1 These ancient
statements articulate what the evolutionary process accidentally
actualized: A
conscious entity that experiences its own being, namely ‘I AM’, as ultimate
outcome. IV. The ‘I AM’ As Goal & as Goal-Embodiment excperience Here's
the emergent logic: 1. Evolution
emerges, indeed arranges, conscious agents (humans). 2. Conscious
agents produce internal models of identifiable reality and meaning. 3. These
models cohere, then compress into a unified identity: “I AM”. 4. This
identity, in acting and adapting, invents context conditional survival goals—which
feed back into the system. 5. The most
coherent and adaptive form is when the human, as experiment, and its
goal unify as: “I am my goal.” Thus: ·
The ‘I AM’ serves the substrate (i.e.
grounding) outcome of evolution—not because it's objectively
important, but because it's subjectively essential. ·
Evolution works through us, but we
experience it as us. V. The Emergence of ‘Am’ and ‘I’ The quantised
emergence of the ‘I AM’ experience: 🔹 ‘Am’ –
The Quantum of Being ·
‘Am’ represents the moment of absolute presence—the
quantised event of realness. ·
It emerges (indeed, happens) as the after-effect
of collision (i.e., touch) between two random quanta, therefore
absolutes, propagating at the speed of light (c) in a relativistic
vacuum. That contact moment is absolute. ·
This momentary event does not produce a discrete
object but a felt momentary state—what we might call the realness of
‘Is-ness’ instant. 🔹 ‘I’ –
The Analogue Observer ·
The “I” arises not as a thing but as an interpreted
self-display. ·
It is the observer-generated analogue of a
series of repeating quantum events perceived, indeed, inferred by an the observer as having structure and agency. ·
“I” is thus the superimposed self-model of
the procedure of ‘I’ emergence—a personal simulation of coherence
built atop randomness. ·
It allows for choice, meaning, and reflection. Together: ·
‘Am’ is the absolute
(momentary) presence of is’ness. ·
‘I’ is the self-identified owner
of that presence. ·
“I am” is the first
articulation of real, actual selfhood. ·
“I am my goal” is the final integration
of being and becoming. 🔁 Systemic
Dialectic Let’s
outline the recursive loop: scss CopyEdit Cosmic
Chaos → Biological Evolution → Human Consciousness → Self-Experience
(I AM) → Meaning-Making (Goals) → Embodied
Purpose (I Am My Goal) → Adaptive Cultural Impact → Species-Level
Evolutionary Advantage → ... This is a
self-reinforcing teleological feedback loop, where "I am my
goal" is: ·
The subjective resolution of existential
instability and non-orientation, and ·
The objective function that enables intelligent
adaptation. 🧬 Cosmo-existential
Synthesis A
higher-order logic summary:
🟨 Final
Synthesis: "I AM. MY GOAL" in context: The
human, as an ephemeral node in a multi-billion years (on this planet) evolutionary
computation, transmits and completes the function of adaptive
experimentation. The illusion of self-emerged consciousness serves to generate
ordered, hence reassuring orientation and the sense of stability in a
fundamentally limitless, unstable, chaotic cosmos. Within this illusion, the
sense of “I AM”, to wit: ‘I am an identifiable, hence cognizable reality’ becomes
evolution’s payoff to itself—a reward loop that drives continued adaptation
and variation, thus survival and continuance. When this self-construct
fuses with its own inner purpose, namely continued adaptive differentiation, it
reaches maximum coherence in: “I am. my goal.” This is
not an egoic statement but a systemic fact: |
