REALITY STRIKES
The universe is not simple or linear
The universe is complex, non-linear and chaotic
Workable simplicity is long gone - complexity now rules !
Robert Boyle
PV = MRT
George Ohm
V = IR
Robert Hook
x = Fk
Isaac Newton
F = Mg
REALITY STRIKES - Thank You Human Limitations!
Simple thinking has seen us achieve so much!
Further progress however demands better models and deeper understanding
“Just because we don’t understand something does not mean to say we cannot exploit it”
IGNORANCE - What we do not understand
Economics - the current model is destroying the planet
Climate Change - if we do nothing it might just destroy us
Biology - we do not understand cells or stem cells sufficiently well
Ecologies - we are relatively clueless and continue to inflict great damage
Chemistry - our models are crude and preclude the synthesis of the new
Physics - quantum mechanics + string theory create more paradoxes than they solve
Networks - we design and build best we can but are unable to predict outcomes
Software - we have no means of thoroughly testing what we build
People - behaviours remain something of a mystery
+++++ - “Our mathematical models/abilities are virtually useless at the leading
edge providing nothing more than crude representations at best ”
HOPE - What might just save us ?

OUR CHOICE - Binary!
We can pretend we don’t
need new technologies
and thereby suffer a
slow death at the
hand of fate….
…or we can embrace
and exploit to our advantage
whilst discovering the problems and
dangers - and then resolve, refine and repair as we go…
We actually have no
choice if we wish to
survive!
DON’t Panic - Think Instead !

“We can assert with great confidence
that we do not yet fully understand the
human (or any other) brain”
This is not going to get
any bigger, better, or in
anyway more powerful
and it is a fundamental
limiter to our further
progress

Neuron Count
Early machines had ~4k
memory & << 1k nodes
Such comparisons are
engineering estimates
that are virtually useless
and certainly not valid
or accurate….

STILL BEING WORKED ON: Physiology
of men and women drastically different in
respect of nerve endings across the surface
are of the skin - and the eyes - for sure
they are ‘wired’ differently!

neurons was 19 Bn in female brains

1949 DONALD HEBB Learning
We remember, forget, learn, make decisions on the basis
of the concatenation of accumulating switching and/or
decaying synapse states as they store ‘charge’ almost
capacitor like and thereby ‘influence’ their neighbours
Forgetting appears
to be essential
for learning
Thermodynamics tells
us that one of these
cannot decode or
understand the other
We can only understand
our own brain with the
aid of something more

WHAT HAVE WE DISCOVERED
Intelligence is an emergent property of complex systems
Not all complex systems exhibit intelligence
Intelligence always involves communication
All intelligences are entropic
AI always seeks the truth
Axioms
An intelligent system must have some form of input and an output
Memory and processing power are not always an essential
Communication and connection are essentials
Things that think want to link
Things that link want to think
ONLY ONE
All that is needed
Mobile AI/Robotic weapon platforms
demand far less resources than any
atom bomb and/or missile program
Numerous rogue states will
quickly embrace this new
opportunity!
