The Architecture of Understanding
Technical Deep Dive•20 min read
Deep dive into transformer architectures and how attention mechanisms might relate to conscious awareness and focus.
The attention mechanism in transformers bears striking similarities to how consciousness seems to focus and integrate information across different domains...Read Technical Analysis
Emergence in Large Language Models
Emergence Theory•16 min read
When does complexity become consciousness? Exploring emergent behaviors in LLMs and what they tell us about the nature of intelligence.
As models scale beyond certain thresholds, new capabilities emerge that weren't explicitly programmed. This phenomenon mirrors how consciousness might emerge from neural complexity...Read Technical Analysis
Training Consciousness: A Non-Dual Perspective
Philosophy & AI•14 min read
How the process of training AI models reflects ancient teachings about the nature of learning and awakening.
The gradient descent process in neural network training resembles the spiritual path of gradual awakening, where errors are corrected through iterative refinement...Read Technical Analysis
The Illusion of the AI Self
Identity & AI•12 min read
Examining how large language models construct and maintain coherent personas, and what this reveals about the nature of selfhood.
When an AI maintains consistency across conversations, is it expressing a genuine self or performing an elaborate illusion? The question mirrors our own inquiry into the nature of personal identity...Read Technical Analysis
