1.) There is a substrate, but they are two layers of complex systems (and emergent behavior) removed from it. Neuronal connections are biological, they generate consciousness (for simplicity, let's consider it "what we perceive") and then on top of that live memebionts. You can always go all the way down to biology and physics (and up to hypergraphs if you will:), but the fact that it is an emergent property of a complex system (which is an emergent property of another complex system, and waayy down) makes it distinct imho.

Memebionts are not consciousness that runs on neurons, it is a form of life that runs on many conscious beings forming culture (one way up).

2.) Producing energy - if it is captivating enough for the consciousness to spend energy making it spread and alive. Religions, at least the ones that survived, are quite metabolically efficient - they cause the lower layer of the complex system to go to churches and temples and people spend time with the memebionts, spreading it, making it grow, making use of the substrate quite efficiently. "My" random idea that I told a friend is a memebiont that does not have a good metabolism, it caused only one person (me) to spread it and then it did not metabolize enough energy to spread, or to even live in the other person's head.

New track: Free fall through the ruliad branch

Look under the autumn leaves

fallen from the Merkle trees

When floating through space

Let no one see your face

Detach from your shadow,

in the elliptic curve meadow

Take a walk within your mind

Where past and future are designed

Take a sip from the cipher stream

The mind tunes the attention beam

Free fall through the ruliad branch

Enjoy!

When you walk around computational vector spaces, you keep finding these peculiar pebbles. Some contain galaxies full of life embedded in the fractal structure of the pebble.

Look under the autumn leaves fallen from the Merkle trees!

What is your brainwave resonance?

Just listened to this 8 hour Neuralink episode. It might not be fun for all of you, so it's not a general recommendation, but to me it was fascinating. First about how the technology including robotic surgery works, but mainly about the weirdness of controlling something with your brain.

I have spent hundreds, maybe more than a thousand hours on some sort of EEG brain computer interface, so I got plenty of training. The resolution of these is not perfect, but you can do many things even with an EEG device. What is interesting is that I am controlling things that have no analog in the motor cortex, I am changing my state of mind and focus, which is very different to moving (or attempting to move, or imagining to move - three different things as per the podcast) a finger.

The brain does not have direct receptors about its internal state. The brain does not hurt. The EEG feedback adds this information and it's possible to train doing completely new things with the brain. The interesting fact is that even when I learn it to some extent, I can't really tell how it works - or what exactly I do. I call it surfing on the wave all the way down, but it's something that you would not be able to replicate without figuring it out yourself. We can only have shared vocabulary after you experienced it .

This I believe is precisely why it's hard to explain psychedelic experience to someone who has never experienced it. You might describe the visual part (which is not shared - I don't do the visual part at all actually, even when I dream, it's never visual. I know the concepts, the structures, but I don't see it), but that's only because that's the common ground ("I have seen beautiful fractals") and probably the least interesting part of the experience.

Why I'm describing this? It's very hard to explain that there are things you can learn to do with your brain that we don't even have good words for. I believe brain computer interfaces with technologies like neurofeedback will make learning it much easier than for example meditation. Combining the dedication of meditation practice with the boost of neurofeedback is the best I believe. But most of you don't even understand what I'm talking about, because you never experienced it. It's out there.

I have a track about these states called Brainwave resonance.

I most often (i.e. daily) enter them using a brain computer interface device or through pulse photobiomodulation.

A rhythmic contemplation of multidimensional convenience stores with integrated bitcoin and no-login-required internet that removes friction and thus generates scale free (fractal) networks.

Some mind-bending sonic philosophy for Bitcoiners and cypherpunks. Close your eyes, put on headphones and meditate.

This avant-garde album blends ambient textures, slow jazz undertones, and dark techno beats to create a mesmerizing sonic landscape that serves as a backdrop for thought-provoking lyrics. The tracks explore the boundaries between reality and simulation, delving into themes of artificial intelligence, fractal universes, and the nature of consciousness. With narratives that range from conversations about rogue AI on airplane flights to contemplations on the fractal structure of pebbles, the album invites listeners on a philosophical journey through the fringes of perception and existence. It's a meditative, mind-bending experience designed to be absorbed in darkness, challenging listeners to question their understanding of reality and the potential malleability of our perceived world.
