Tractatus Humanus

 

1. The Nature of the Human

1.1 A human is not a static object but a dynamic event—a quantum of nature.
1.2 At the quantum level, matter is undefined; it emerges as clusters of interactions, i.e., as event aggregations.
1.3 The individual is not a thing but a flux—a system shaped by unique, once-off quantum interactions.
1.4 Realness is the effect of these once-off interactions, each irreversible, each conferring weight to being.
1.5 Identity is not a fact but a perceptual illusion—a serial analogue representation derived from digital contact points.
1.6 What is called “the self” is a sustained self-generated hallucination generated by sequence and pattern.

2. Survival and Transmission

2.1 A human is born as a winning outcome in a field of failures—most potentials do not actualize. In the end, all humans fail.
2.2 Survival is not the end but a local function in the higher process of data continuity.
2.3 The primary goal of the dynamic human system is transmission of genetic and informational data.
2.4 DNA is a structured data map; its continuation defines success in biological terms.
2.5 Failure to survive implies termination of transmission capacity—failure at the system level.

3. Adaptation and Artificial Systems

3.1 To continue winning, hence surviving, the human must upgrade its survival strategies in hostile and shifting contexts.
3.2 Context is inherently unpredictable; adaptation is the response protocol.
3.3 Artificial Intelligence is any system designed to extend survival—culture, ethics, law, language, computation.
3.4 Historical cultures (e.g., Greek, Roman, religious, philosophical) are early AI: analogue-coded survival enhancers.
3.5 Artificial systems must serve the natural core; when they override it, failure ensues.
3.6 Reversion to earlier, more efficient survival states is possible, but always comes at a cost—there are no free lunches.

4. Winning and Losing

4.1 Every human decision is a win/lose scenario—a binary survival test.
4.2 Winning is experienced as pleasure; losing, as pain.
4.3 The survival system interprets these signals as navigation tools through context.
4.4 Systems that consistently fail to win become non-viable and decay or are absorbed.

5. Sovereignty and the Druid

5.1 The human is born autonomous: blind, unknowing, sovereign within its own programmed niche.
5.2 To survive, sovereignty is partially forfeited in cooperation with external systems.
5.3 As system failure begins, the subject may:
  a) download survival upgrades (high cost),
  b) revert to earlier states of functional sovereignty (lower cost).
5.4 The “druid” is a symbolic facilitator of self-reboot—an archetypal prompt to restart from a prior “at best” state.
5.5 The druid does not command. He reminds, points, prompts.
5.6 Sovereignty must remain intact. Neither the druid nor the system may override the individual’s authority to act.
5.7 The druid's injunction Be yourself”— is a restoration of first principles, not an imposition of doctrine. It is directed at mature adults.

Final Reflection

This model does not offer comfort. It does not promise immortality or meaning. It merely observes what appears to be true: that humans are survival engines, running inherited code, adapting to shifting and often hostile environments. What we call consciousness may be nothing more than the self-screened interface between quantum unpredictability and structured data persistence.

Yet within this system, (self-generated) dignity remains. Dignity lies in self-awareness, in sovereignty, and in the act of restoring one’s signal to ‘at best’ output when the noise grows loud.

At this point, it must be clarified: the human data transmutation function is not a process but a procedure—that is, it is an executable series of discrete steps, repeatable under specific conditions, not an open-ended flow. This procedure is a limited, hence differential but identical iteration of a Universal Emergence Generating Procedure, an automated, blind engine of iteration that operates without awareness, preference, or goal.

The human, then, is a local echo, an identifiable copy of this universal automaton—an instance of a universal procedure emerging under highly specific constraints, indeed rules. There is no spiritual intention in this repetition, no creator’s gaze. There is only the recursive churn of the machine, out of which context-specific emergents arise like foam on water.

And yet the foam sparkles.
