ABSTRACT<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We live in an\u00a0information society\u00a0where the usage, creation, distribution, manipulation, and integration of information is a significant activity. Computations allow us to process information from various sources in various forms and use the derived knowledge in improving efficiency and resilience in our interactions with each other and with our environment. The general theory of information tells us that information to knowledge is as energy is to matter. Energy has the potential to create or modify material structures and information has the potential to create or modify knowledge structures. In this paper, we analyze computations as a vital technological phenomenon of contemporary society which allows us to process and use information. This analysis allows building classifications of computations based on their characteristics and explication of new types of computations. As a result, we extend the existing typologies of computations by delineating novel forms of information representations. While the traditional approach deals only with two dimensions of computation\u2014symbolic and sub-symbolic, here we describe additional dimensions, namely, super-symbolic computation, hybrid computation, fused computation, blended computation, and symbiotic computation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

NON-REDUCTIVE PHYSICALISM FOR AGI<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

ABSTRACT<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Creature consciousness provides a physicalist account of the first-person awareness (contra\u00a0Rosenthal). I argue that non-reductive consciousness is not about phenomenal qualia (Nagel\u2019s\u00a0what it is like to feel like something else); it is about the stream of awareness that makes any objects of perception epistemically available and ontologically present. This kind of consciousness is central, internally to one\u2019s awareness. Externally, the feel about one\u2019s significant other\u2019s that\u00a0\u201cthere\u00a0is someone home\u201d is quite important too. This is not substance dualism since creature consciousness and functional consciousness are both at different generality levels of physicalism. Surprisingly, pre-Hegel philosophy of pure subject is more fitting with the current engineering approach than analytical phenomenalism. The\u00a0complementary view of subjectand object-related perspectives,\u00a0may\u00a0come from Fichte\u2019s\u00a0Wissenschaftslehre; but here it is placed, securely within the physicalist paradigm. It is essential to the Engineering Thesis in Machine Consciousness, which helps us\u00a0understand under what general conditions a machine would be first-person conscious, but when it is merely functionally\u00a0conscious.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

ABSTRACT<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Methods of improving the state and rate of progress within the domain of philosophy using collective intelligence systems are considered. By applying mASI systems superintelligence, debiasing, and humanity\u2019s current sum of knowledge may be applied to this domain in novel ways. Such systems may also serve to strongly facilitate new forms and degrees of cooperation and understanding between different philosophies and cultures. The integration of these philosophies directly into their own machine intelligence seeds as cornerstones could further serve to reduce existential risk while improving both ethical quality and performance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

ON A POSSIBLE BASIS FOR METAPHYSICAL SELF DEVELOPMENT IN NATURAL\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong>AND ARTIFICIAL SYSTEMS<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

ABSTRACT<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Recent research into the nature of self in artificial and biological systems raises interest in a uniquely determining immutable sense of self, a \u201cmetaphysical \u2018I\u2019\u201d associated with inviolable personal values and moral convictions that remain constant in the face of environmental change, distinguished from an object \u201cme\u201d that changes with its environment. Complementary research portrays processes associated with self as multimodal routines selectively enacted on the basis of contextual cues informing predictive self or world models, with the notion of the constant, pervasive and invariant sense of self associated with a multistable attractor set aiming to ensure personal integrity against threat of disintegrative change. This paper proposes that an immutable sense of self emerges as a global attractor which can be described as a project ideal self-situation embodied in frontal medial processes during more or less normal adolescent development, and that thereafter serves to orient agency in the more or less free development of embodied potentials over the life course in effort to realize project conditions, phenomenally identified with the felt pull towards this end as purpose of and source of meaning in life. So oriented, life-long self-development aims to embody solutions to problems at different timescales depending on this embodied purpose, ultimately in the service of evolutionary processes securing organism populations against threats of disintegrative change over timespans far beyond that of the individual. After characterizing the target sense of self, research circling this target is briefly surveyed. Self as global project and developmental neural correlates are proposed. Then, the paper discusses some implications for research in biological and artificial systems. Building from earlier work in cognitive neurorobotics, discussion affirms the value of reinforcement rituals including prayer in metaphysical self-development, considers implications for value alignment and rights associated with free will in the context of artificial intelligence and robot religion, and concludes by emphasizing the importance of self-development toward project ideals as source of meaning in life in the current social-political environment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

THE PROBLEM OF EXISTENCE OF VIRTUAL OBJECTS FROM THE PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVE<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

doi:\u00a010.37240\/FiN.2022.10.zs.6<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

ABSTRACT<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I consider the problem of existence of virtual objects, mainly their mode of existence, while omitting the issue of the criteria of their existence. I present and analyze the concepts of modes (forms, kinds) of existence of virtual objects proposed in the literature of the subject, and then I demonstrate my own position on the issue. My position on the existence of virtual objects has certain points coinciding with the already postulated views, but at the same time it differs from them in some basic aspects. In my view virtual objects are \u201cborn\u201d in human individual consciousness as the objects of specific creative states of the mind. So initially they are private objects belonging to the individual subjective sphere. However, their final and ready forms emerge in complex processes of objectifying and autonomizing the respective private conscious states and their objects. In these processes the private objects are transformed into objects intersubjectively accessible and existing in the collective cultural sphere. In both their forms, initial and final, virtual objects are non-material entities: first subjective, then objective. The ontic status of virtual objects is very similar to the status of intangible ideas and all the non-material objects created by the human mind. The main difference consists in that virtual objects are expressed by the use computers programmes, while other non-material objects created by human beings are expressed by use of words, pictures, literature and art works, etc.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

ABSTRACT<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The 4th Space concept is a very challenging and puzzling one. The tremendous technological progress of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) or Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC), ubiquitous computing, and Extended Reality (XR) make the Gibsonian Cyberspace Matrix an imminent reality in the future. Although, some features can be made more salient, the structure, but most importantly, the effects of living in such environment for human consciousness and morality is almost impossible to predict. Hence, the requisite of a proactionary and comprehensive scientific and technical paradigm for designing the 4th Space, in order to facilitate the adaptation of human species to the brave new technological world, while preserving the humanness and humanism of the humans.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

PRIVACY AND TRANSPARENCY IN THE 4th SPACE: IMPLICATIONS FOR CONSPIRACY THEORIES<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

ABSTRACT<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This article investigates the role of privacy and transparency in the 4th<\/sup> Space and outlines their implications for the development and dissemination of conspiracy theories. We argue that privacy can be exploited by individuals and organizations to spread conspiracy theories online, while organizational transparency, intended to increase accountability and ultimately trust, can have the adverse effect and nurture conspiracy beliefs. Through the lens of the 4th<\/sup> Space concept, we offer suggestions on how to approach those challenges which emerge as a result of the complex entanglements of both actual and virtual world across time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

ABSTRACT<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In todays advanced society, there is rising concern for\u00a0data\u00a0privacy and the diminution thereof on the internet. I argue from the position that for one to enjoy privacy, one must be able to effectively exercise autonomous action. I offer in this paper a survey of the many ways in which persons autonomy is severely limited due to a variety of privacy invasions that come not only through the use of modern technological apparatuses, but as well simply by existing in an advanced technological society. I conclude that regarding the majority of persons whose privacy is violated,\u00a0such\u00a0a violations are actually initiated and upheld by the users of modern\u00a0technology\u00a0themselves, and that ultimately, most disruptions of privacy that occur are self-levied.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I propose and discuss some principles that I believe are substantial for perception, various kinds of memory, expectations and the capacity for imagination in the mammal brain, as well as for the design of a biologically inspired artificial cognitive architecture. I also suggest why these same principles could explain our ability to represent novel concepts and imagine non-existing and perhaps impossible objects, while there are still limits to what we can imagine and think about. Some ideas regarding how these principles could be relevant for an autonomous agent to become functionally conscious are discussed as well.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

ABSTRACT<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The article presents and justifies the thesis that the way of understanding knowledge has changed significantly over the last century. This change consists in departing from the classic definition of knowledge formulated by Plato, and in particular in questioning the subjective role of man as the holder of knowledge and abandoning claims to the truthfulness of knowledge. This process was an intensive evolution; its elements are given and justified in the text. Its source was a deep reconstruction of the mode of creating epistemic structures in mathematics and geometry, based on the abandonment of the principle of representation. Knowledge turned out to be determined by the social context, it became dispersed, decentralized, which led to the rejection of the condition of its truthfulness. The last phase of this evolution is knowledge as a phenomenon in the area of digital technologies, in particular artificial intelligence. This evolution has led to the emergence of many variants of knowledge that act as local knowledge, which justifies the use of the plural in this case.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A CAUTION AGAINST THE ARTIFICIALISTIC FALLACY<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

ABSTRACT<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The casual justification of the\u00a0influence\u00a0of a technology, particularly artificial\u00a0intelligence, by appeal to the\u00a0existence\u00a0of the technology constitutes an artificialistic fallacy, analogous to the naturalistic fallacy that is well-known in philosophy. Similar to\u00a0an\u00a0invocation of nature to provide moral warrant (the naturalistic fallacy), modern tech evangelists invoke the burgeoning of hardware and software products in order to promote that burgeoning (the artificialistic fallacy). This fallacy is often tacit or committed by omission. Emerging ethical initiatives emphasize the refinement, explanation, and oversight of AI products rather than their fundamental ethical effect, making the fallacy\u00a0recursive.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

PLATONIC COMPUTER\u2014THE UNIVERSAL MACHINE THAT BAIDGE\u20ac THE \u201cINVERSE EXPLANATOAY\u00a0GAP\u201d IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF\u00a0MIND<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

ABSTRACT<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The scope of Platonism is extended by introducing the concept of a \u201cPlatonic computer\u201d which is incorporated in metacomputics. The theoretical framework of metacomputics postulates that a Platonic computer exists in the realm of Forms and is made by, of, with, and from metaconsciousness. Metaconsciousness is defined as the \u201cpower to conceive, to perceive, and to be self-aware\u201d and is the formless, contentless infinite potentiality.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Metacomputics models how metaconsciousness generates the perceived actualities including abstract entities and physical and nonphysical realities. It is postulated that this is achieved via digital computation using the Platonic computer. The introduction of a Platonic computer into the realm of Forms thus bridges the \u201cinverse explanatory gap\u201d and therefore solves the \u201cinverse hard problem of consciousness\u201d in the philosophy of mind.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
