Tractatus humanus

1. The human is a quantum of nature, an event-cluster of survival-coded data.

1.1 At the quantum level, matter is undefined; it manifests as aggregates of dynamic interactions.

1.2 This quantum interacts once, irreversibly, generating the affect of realness.

1.3 The illusion of a continuous identity arises from serial quantized interactions, fantasized internally as a stable analogue self.

2. The human is born blind to context yet fully armed by DNA: an autonomous data transmutation unit capable of autonomous survival.

2.1 Context is unpredictable. DNA encodes adaptive flexibility.

2.2 At birth, transmission has already succeeded thus far. The human is born winning.

2.3 Many humans fail shortly after birth, as many sperm fail before conception. This is the ground of natural selection.

3. The primary goal od a quantum of nature is transmission of upgraded data. Survival is a local means to that end.

3.1 Winning is successful transmission. Losing is failure to transmit. Pleasure signals potential continuity; pain signals potential termination.

3.2 Every human decision is a trial of mortal consequence: a win/lose event in the service of data continuity.

3.3 All interactions occur in fundamentally hostile space—shared with other predatory, autonomous units.

4. The fittest survive by upgrading their survival responses through adaptive recalibration.

4.1 Adaptation may require cooperation, which trades sovereignty for extended viability.

4.2 Adaptation also includes invention: the creation of Artificial Intelligence as context-specific survival supports.

4.3 There have been many forms of Artificial Intelligence: cultures, languages, laws, myths.

4.4 The latest variant is electronic AI, possibly all-knowing, possibly immortal.

5. Natural systems fail when the artificial overrides the natural.

5.1 If adaptation mechanisms degrade the core autonomous system, failure begins.

5.2 Failure means a decline from optimal—operating "at best."

5.3 The system may download external survival data at high cost or revert to a previous stable state at lower cost. There are no free lunches.

6. The druid facilitates self-restoration and enables self-restart.

6.1 The druid invokes or points to the memory of a previous winning state or procedure.

6.2 The druid does not transmit data. Nor does he restructure the data of his subject.

6.3 He does not instruct. The decision cannot be his. Sovereignty must remain intact in both the druid and the subject.

6.4 To be oneself is to operate at best: autonomous, alert, alive.

7. Nothing is hidden.

7.1 Human emergence, interaction, transmission, and failure are common observation.

7.2 Culture, ethics, philosophy—these are complex artificial intelligences.

7.3 The fundamental remains: Transmit or terminate. Win or fail.

7.4 The rest is elaboration.
