"LLMorphism?"

Not at all identical. We are similar, in that the underlying routing topology is much more N-deep-SLM-of-SLM-like for words, hence we think in DSLs.

But beyond that the nodes are not representations of words, but representations of sensory gestalten. So it humans it is maybe a topology of planes, one for words, mapped over one for sensory images in all sense modalities. That is why sensory data structures matter, more than any operations on incorrect underlying data structures, for anthropomorphic computing. This is the main insight from quantitative phenomenology.

Qualia are data structures, and that is the main oversight of most AI programs to-date in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Islamophobia : ambiguities in Europe

I live in Malaysia ( and related socmed ) so I spend more time discussing with Muslims how Islamophobia works, than I do in European circles.

  • Premise 1 : West : the individual has first, an allegiance to state, and within it some freedoms of faith. 
  • Premise 2 : Islam : the individual has first, an allegiance to faith, and within it some freedoms of state.

Subsequently the shortest path to peaceful co-existence, is to make these premises EXPLICIT, in legislation. Western states should recruit citizens with *explicit* frameworks for how [ individuals coming from Premise 2, "Muslims" ] will be treated.

Correspondingly, GLOBAL-scale Islamic authorities should provide explicit frameworks for how [ Muslims ] should engage with [ states asserting Premise 1 ].

All of this sets up PUBLIC protocols for engagement, shifting from high-context ambiguity, fraught with fear, to low-context confidence, and hopes for civilisational progress on a heterogeneous Earth.

nutrition : imidazole dipeptides / IDPs

 This is turning out to be an interesting group of molecules.

  • histadine containing : most common in chicken, fish, and then other skeletal muscle meats
  • antioxidant and pH buffering : "instant energy" end-user experience
  • generally not saturated in humans, so there are benefits to eating it
  • also some research linking these to Parkinson's Disease ( neural death in the Substantia Nigra associated with oxidative stress )
There are three of easy interest; only one is a commerciallycommon supplement
  • carnosine :
    • the common supplement is beta alanine, as carnosine is produced in humans, but beta alanine is usually the rate-limiting input
  • anserine : 
    • uncommon commercially
  • balenine : 
    • uncommon commercially
