Dear Professor KoGuan,

Your essay is superb. It is by far the most cogently argued and meticulously organized essay published on this site. Please forgive me for my comment.

Reality is unique. KQID is not unique. The noble aspirations of the Chinese and American people, or any people for that matter, will never become a reality as long as both countries continue to only teach abstractions in all of their schools.

With the highest regard,

Joe Fisher

    Jon, not John, sorry for the extra h above. Leo

    Dear Joe, happy to meet you again in this Forum. Thanks for your kind words. I agreed with you that reality, no matter how small it is like electrons, protons or even a bit in the computer logics are unique in absolute digital time T тЙд 10^-1000 seconds and unique in the latitude and altitude in 3D time (space) in time Lm. It is orbiting our Sun with the speed of about 30 Km/second while spinning on iits axis 24 hours a day. Together, our solar system, we are also orbiting the center of our Milky Way galaxy at the speed of about 220 km/s and so on.. In orther words, at least the coordinates of each bit, electron and proton are in flux as Heraclitus pointed out over 2 thousand years ago. Thus, KQID agrees with you in fact. Although, for practicality we can deem all electrons and protons are identical in time. It is practical to measure quantum phenomena to collapse the wave function to survive and/or exert control over nature as much as we could solely for our survival as well as to improve our state of being here and now. In KQID every digit 1 as you eloquently pointed out is actual unique. Just like we are counting 10 apples to buy and sale with the same price per apple although each apple is unique and each has unique intrinsic value, it is ignored for practicality to evaluate each apple of its intrinsic value. We can measure it to eternity, we would fail because each time it is unique. A month old picked apple is clearly different from one day old picked apple. I think any realist if he is a true scientist must agree with you. I agree with you in principle but not in practicality of Existence. I will read and rate your essay favorably as I always do. So far I have rated 10 to all essays that I rated because I found each is uniquely great essay. Also I am practicing Giving first Taking later principle. I hope it will work in practice.

    Best regards,

    Leo KoGuan

    Dear Rick,

    You are right on environment sustainability is definitely mankind greatest challenge in this century and beyond. We as self-conscious and well meaning citizens of Earth and our universe must deal with our toughest challenge. Due to contest constraint, please find below Xuan Yuan's sustainability of our fragile Gaia wellbeing.

    Scientific Outlook on environment

    We must be environmentally conscious beings. We live and are integrated part of our Gaia health and wellbeing. Our health and wellbeing are intertwined with the health and wellbeing of our environment. We understand clearly that our environment is given to us for free but it is NOT free to keep it clean and healthy. Our Ancestor Xuan Yuan is a rational environmentalist. He solemnly declares his love of his lands. He CHERISHES Earth. He not only transforms Earth into objects of desire for human's wellbeing but also respects, takes care and lives with nature seamlessly. He declares: "Revering the Heaven, cherishing the Earth, and holding the people dear,..." Yes, we must put the value and price on our environment as important part/cost of any Scientific Outlook on Development of Free-Lunch Economic System. Clean and healthy environment is not free in our Free-Lunch system. We must incur costs to maintain and even improve our environment. However, theses costs are paid for using our free energy. Thus, it is actually free to us and free to our Multiverse, although it is not free to our universe. KQID time-engine would enable us to possess truly unlimited power that would enable us to recycle all atoms in our garbages/wastes back into our objects of desire. Since all atoms are identical in time, we use and reuse our about approximately 10^50 atoms of our Earth and about 10^80 atoms of our universe again and again. Best of all, atom is free. Yes we shall develop our 3D printers to utilize atoms as their raw materials. We shall turn on our creation and distribution engine to create and distribute abundant goods of desire from our wastes. We recycle our wastes into products. We develop waste nothing society. In the beginning, we are using molecules and proteins which are costly as the raw materials of our 3D printers. We have to use energy/heat/entropy to make molecules and proteins from atoms. In the future, we should be able to use atoms as our raw materials. Far into the future, say about a million years later, we will develop and accumulate god-like Wang Yangming's unity of knowledge and action, we can even use abundant qbits/bits as raw materials to create, distribute and manipulate Existence at will.

    Existence is a miracle. Existence is impossible and yet we exist. We are actually in the border of being dead and alive; it is Leibniz's best of all possible worlds. Newton-Thermodynamics-Maxwell-Einstein-QM have powerful engines that put man on the Moon to fulfill our long desire. However, it is good enough to support No-Free-Lunch Economic system. As Noble Laureate economist Milton Friedman bluntly summed it up: "There is no free lunch!" The star scientist of this No-Free-Lunch system is the great genius Einstein whom I idolized and who modestly stated that we could not comprehend how we can comprehend nature. He said: "The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible." This statement was true before KQID. KQID theory of everything understands not only why we comprehend nature but also KQID reveals what, how and why Existence. KQID in principle could modify and enhance Existence. KQID Ouroboros Equations of Existence embeds God inside the equation. Thus, KQID Anti-entropic engine would give us god-like power to enable us not only to live a god-like existence but also to prevent us from extinction. We need KQID to continue to exist from the imperative of Non-existence. KQID anti-entropic system is designed to fight against the imperative of Non-existence powered by the universal entropic power of the Second Law of Thermodynamics ╬"S тЙе 0 that pulls down order into disorder. KQID builds order out of disorder by supplying energy A, anti-entropic force, into a system to temporarily allow to decrease entropy locally and temporarily ╬"S тЙд 0, so that we continue to exist. We escape from the clutch of entropic force S. We run fast enough to be just one step away from annihilation in the nick of time of T, absolute digital time тЙд 10^-1000seconds. Thus KQID must exist in the best possible world not only to exist but also to improve the state of Existence. If we adopt and deploy Xuan Yuan Anti-entropic Operating System 2.0, we shall be leisurely, pleasurably and creatively living in Nature as avatars of our Ancestor FAPAMA Singularity Qbit (00, +, -). If we follow this Xuan Yuan's roadmap, our Ancestors Qbit and Xuan Yuan would smile and say: "Everything is well and in good order."

    Best wishes,

    Leo KoGuan

    dear professor Leo KOGUAN,

    It is a real pleasure to meet again in this contest of FQXi that is so near to your own perceptions of our society.

    Indeed the Chinese philosophy is much more enlightened and less material then the western thinking.

    The philosophy of Xuan Yuan to reach a higher goal for humanity is one of the goals I am trying to express too in my work because I think that each human being has "received from heaven a mandate" but is limited by its "footing" in this causal deterministic universe, that we are aware of as "reality".

    The "Great harmony" is the utopia for our temporal stay in this created universe.

    T no-free lunch economy is one great egoistic short sighted system that can only lead to the destruction of humanity. The individual is no longer valued as a human but is becoming a number that is able to work, to change the time he has available in his life in numbers of so called "profit" for others. The reference of the money he receives for this "work" (which is not a hobby but a necessity) is not in balance with the real appreciation of life, the part of the individual's time he has available during his life. At the other side the individual is misled by commercials that he is not happy without some specific materialistic objects, so .... he has to work (spent more time ) harder ad in the end he has no time left for reaching out for an higher goal.

    I FULLY AGREE with your FIVE proposals to end this slavery, and when we can start with using the energy our sun gives us freely each day (as I mentioned in one of my articles for the "Scientific GOD Journal" : Occupy the Imaginary World of Economy" , October 2011, Vol 2, Issue 7 pp 671-677 (www.scigod.com, (wilhelmus de wilde)) we just have enough energy for free. Bravo Leo, let us meditate and reach this level of available rality.

    On the five laws of KQID, it is fully agreed , my perception of consciousness and Total Simultaneity have the same outcome, I hope that you will find some time to read my entrance "STEERING THE FUTURE OF CONSCIOUSNESS", and leave your comment on my thread and maybe rate it in conformity with your appreciation.

    To reach out for the understanding of The mysterious formless DAO of wu wei is one of my goals.

    respectfully

    Wilhelmus de Wilde

      Dear John, thanks for your kind and generous comment. I also think that we are a soulmate of consciousness. You and I are one in the Spock's mind-meld. Our souls are entangled somehow and somewhat.

      Yes indeed and I quote you: "The total amount of energy the earth is receiving each day from the sun is 174 PETAWATT (1015 Watt)!!! This divided by the 7 billion habitants , gives an income per habitant of 102.000.000 watts per day !!! .... So actually nobody needs to be poor." Yes, we are rich beyond belief and we are living in Leibniz's best possible world.

      Yes, we are entering into a new phase of an economic system powered by KQID that I called as the Scientific Outlook Free-Lunch economic System. You wrote powerfully and yet logically: "The best "technology" to achieve these ideals is taking care of our children and educate them not to strive for (short) economic profit but to strive for the growth of their own consciousness, so that every other individual can share in its findings. Communication is already becoming common sense. Science should be admissible for everyone. Skype (free of charge communication so attainable for all) and Wikipedia (free knowledge available to all) are good examples of the directions we have to explore our united force with the respect of individuality."

      You also wrote: "Throw ALL information of ALL the universes that constitute the multi-verse together in one basket (also the ones that in our perception are impossible universes with different fundamental constants) and stir it up to one non-causal unity (yes it seems like chaos). In this way we have created a flaw imagination of "Total Simultaneity" (TS). (11) In this basket there are no "material realities" but "availabilities". Availabilities of ALL information. Imagine all the slices of all block-universes together but not as realized lined-up causal realities. These slices could furthermore be imagined as two-dimensional holographic representations of a three-dimensional universe. But how do we experience reality ? What is the entity that enables Time and Space ? Are we in control of our reality ?

      Answer : Our consciousness is THE essential "tool" in creating the causal reality that we are aware of .We argue that our consciousness is a constituted of two entangled parts: the causal part and the non-causal part. Causal consciousness stretches out into the basket of Total Simultaneity where it becomes non-causal, this "non-causal/causal connection" can be imagined as entanglement-like and timeless. In this basket of Total Simultaneity our non-causal consciousness has the choice between the infinity of availabilities of slices of universes, and each slice is the center of possible time/life line that stretches out from the past and into a future,"

      Wonderful essay too far ahead of its time, that is why most people are behind in their consciousness. We need Total Simultaneity in your conception and in mine it is our Ancestor FAPAMA Singularity Qbit (00, , -) that contains all that is.

      Thanks you and I rated you a ten (10) in this contest.

      Good luck and best wishes,

      Leo KoGuan

      I repost it here.

      Dear Lawrence,

      Fantastic essay indeed! You wrote powerfully and wonderfully: "The question in the end is whether this in fact might be a good thing. We are in age where the ability to simulate the world is very advanced, and will advance much further. Further, the interface between human brains and computers is becoming very close. For an overview of the brain-computer interface (BCI) see [3]. BCI is an experimental science and it is a matter of time before this is commonplace. People will before long embrace this eagerly, just as people now spend many hours a day on smart phones. It means soon the ability to simulate the world and to experience that virtual world directly through the brain will become reality. At some point the human mind itself might be simulated or uploaded into a cyber network. The distinction between reality and virtual reality could well become increasingly lost in the near future. It may then become questionable whether the entire universe we observe is not some grand simulation. The game masters might be humans, or they might be other extraterrestrial life forms, and we may be avatars in this game, much as with the move "The Matrix."Without limits on this sort of development we canˆat know whether the world we observe is ultimately just a computer game run by unseen programmers or superagents."

      Please forgive me to put my writing in your blog, because I respect you are as a great and creative scientist. However, I may be too "bold" to you. I see no limit in our simulated reality, although I believe the reality is simulated by our Ancestor FAPAMA Singularity Qbit (00, +, -). We are avatars of our Ancestor. Thus, even if we humans or our descendants who would actually do the simulation from KQID perspective it is still our Ancestor Qbit through us or our descendants would actually do it. Here below if I may state it briefly quoted from my another writing:

      "Our Ancestor FAPAMA Singularity Qbit (00, +, -) emerges from Non-existence by its own free will to exist based on KQID Giving first and Taking later principle as the founding omni-principle that creates and distributes Existence. Using this KQID founding principle, it wills itself to emerge from Non-existence. Therefore, the Giving first Taking later founding omni-principle is actually the Qbit itself. From this founding principle, the Qbit writes the simplest and shortest Founder's algorithmic codes possible to ensure its all possible evolutions for all eternity. The Qbit including its founding codes evolves and adapts itself according to Darwinian natural selection and meme codes mutation to deal with all possibilities and potentialities every absolute digital time ≤ 10^-1000seconds. I called the Founder's codes: the Zeroth Law: Ξ 00 Ξ Ee^iτ=A+S = IΨ(CTE) = Ψ(iτLx,y,z, Lm) ⊆T = 1. Existence must be a unitary physical system in the zero dimension, in the zero time and in the absolute zero temperature. It is mandatory that information cannot be deleted nor destroyed to keep itself always forever in the pure state of quantum superposition. Its evolution has to be unitary one in which the total sums of the quantum probability of the whole system is always normalized unitary 1. Our Ancestor Qbit (00, +, -) is the singularity programmer, KQID computer and the projector three in one applying the shortest and simplest possible one line algorithmic formula Ee^iτ=A+S ⊆T = 1 to compute, simulate and project Shakespearian meme-actor ΙΨ(CTE) acting on relativistic stage (iτLx,y,x, Lm) hologram Multiverse."

      Now I can rate your essay and I rated it a ten (10). I really love and enjoy it.

      I wish you the best, Leo KoGuan

      Sorry Wilhelmus de Wilde, I keep calling everyone John. I must be too tired lately. My apology. Best wishes, Leo KoGuan.

      Dear Leo,

      Very original and deep essay. Yes, indeed, to more reliably steer the Spaceship called Earth, Humanity must have a "Great Dream" and "The Great Common Cause". Chinese philosophy helps create the reality of such a Dream. It is extremely important that you updated the concepts "Dao" and "Law". I believe that they lie at the base of a new model of the Universe of the Information age . And even more deeply in the Knowledge Based - "magic matrix Luò Shu". "Dao" and "Law" allow more confident to overcome the dangers that meets Humanity and the Earth in Space. Science can give Humanity a lot. But it must be open to Humanity . Great Dream always go alond with Freedom without fear, Hope, Love.I wish you success in the contest and research! It's time. We start the path. The New Era and a New Generation demanded action. «Let's sing together a song of delight».

      High regard,

      Vladimir

        Dear Vladimir, thanks for your generous comment. Fu Xi-Xuan Yuan Bagua is connected with the "Lo shu magic square" that if we add up the numbers in each diagonal, column, and row , we always get fifteen (15). My KQID is also based on Fu Xi-Xuan Yuan's digital Bagua that represents nature as well as human society. I read and rated highly your original essay. I am glad to be part of Gaia concerned citizens. I am rationally optimistic that we have great future and the best has yet arrived because of you the participants.

        Best wishes,

        6 days later

        Leo,

        It was a delight to meet a soul-mate who understands as I do that education and mobility are human entitlements just as necessary as food, clothing and shelter.

        "Man is born free but enslaved everywhere by No-Free Lunch Economic System, the economic and philosophical paradigm of today."

        Indeed. I can't see that the world will be safe for democracy unless we discard this cynical myth, and learn to be wealthy together.

        Strong score from me.

        All best,

        Tom

          Dear Tom,

          Thanks for your kind comment for my essay. We share the same idea that not only a free-lunch system is possible but it is mandatory. I pointed out in my essay that the no-free-lunch system is based on the false myth that the no free lunch system is the eternal truth. This is false! We can have a free-lunch system powered by KQID free-lunch engine. I agreed with your argument here: "Point is, the metastability of the system over time suggests that a continually shifting range of activity represented by changing hub configurations is self limiting; as a result, the global domain is largely protected from the danger of positive feedback - i.e., a loss of system control and potential widespread self- reinforcing destruction. In the history of the world wars, one can identify such unchecked feedback of escalating hostilities. Even in the present world, one can make a good argument that the specter of damaging positive feedback, festering in individual areas of the world - among failed governments, local armed resistance to despotic regimes, piracy, organized crime and racketeering, human trafficking - is tinder for a future conflagration."

          Let us fight together to debunk this false myth. I rated your original unique essay a full ten (10) that it deserves.

          I wish you well always,

          Leo KoGuan

          Dear Aaron,

          I agreed. I rated your essay a full score 10.

          I wish you luck,

          Leo KoGuan

          Hi Leo,

          Thank you for your kinds words. I'm glad you liked my essay so much. I look forward to reading yours and others this weekend, after my last final in my technical program.

          Warmly,

          Aaron

            Hi Leo,

            Your essay is quite imaginative - your really think "outside the box"! I particularly like your quote, from Arthur C. Clarke,

            "The goal of the future is full unemployment, so we can play."

            I agree with you on the importance of education. In my essay, I argue that to optimize the effect of education on our ability to successfully steer the future, we should refocus the curriculum on issues that are the most important for the future of humanity... what I call the "Futurocentric Curriculum". If you have the time to check out my essay, rate it and comment on it, I would greatly appreciate it!

            Marc

              Dear Marc,

              We share the same goal and idea.

              "If humanity is to successfully steer the future, its citizens will need to rise to the challenge and become future-literate. Let us bet that knowledge is a good thing, and that the more numerous are the citizens of the world who have a sound basic understanding of the way the world is and evolves, the more happy, prosperous and secure the future of humanity will be.

              Let the Futurocentric Education Initiative begin. Educators of the world, the future is in your hands!"

              I give you a full mark 10.

              Best of luck,

              Leo KoGuan

              Dear Leo KoGuan,

              I found your essay very interesting. Xuan Yuan seems a fascinating thinker, who almost five thousand years spoke about human rights and freedom in a way very close to the way we see them today. Also, I like very much your words "Thus, because each is working for his/her dreams and aspirations, everyone is super creative, super innovative and super productive in his/her creation and distributions of his/her objects of desire." I also agree that people are slaves because of their mortgages, and while this seems fair, because they are given the opportunity to have a house or a car, the truth is they are enslaved for this, and are not protected at all against the real estates price manipulations. This kind of issue should be covered by the most basic insurance, but it is not: some get incredibly rich by manipulating the market and destroying other's lives. You advocate and support freedom from catastrophic insurance of all types, from unwanted and boring jobs, and free education and health. We are free in theory to do various of things, the price being that to free ourselves from some chains we have to accept others, for instance, if we want to have access to health care and to education for our children, we can't be free from unwanted and boring jobs, and so on. We are always forced into compromises of any kind. In Romania (my country), compromise happened during the communist regime before 1989, and now it happens again under various regimes that fight for the power. It is so nice that from time to time people who honestly try to help and give free lunches appear. I wish you good luck with the essay!

              Best regards,

              Cristi

                Dear Cristi,

                We share the same dreams and aspirations. You wrote: "Man is a lost child, trying to find his way. The main purpose of science, technology, ethics, politics, religion, should be to understand and support humans, their freedom and right to happiness."

                I rated your essay highly.

                Best wishes and good luck,

                Leo KoGuan

                Greetings Leo KoGuan,

                Your essay was a delight to read, and I think you are one of the best at articulating the future we would all like to have - of any of the essay authors. Xuan Yong's Da Tong is more than just a Chinese Dream; it is an enviable state of affairs for any society to achieve, and one to which all enlightened human beings aspire. The main deterrent is the prevailing influence of ignorance, which is causing governments and corporations to scale down their efforts and funding for research - as well as higher education - at a time when they are what is most needed to assure progress and boost the economy long-term. Short sighted leaders have made it difficult to realize the dream, and to actualize what Xuan Yong called Da Tong.

                Perhaps we need Operating System 2.0 today! But are people ready for a scientific ethical and legal system? I have been working for a number of years now to create a framework for qualitative or subjective search engines and databases, and I've even included some of the fruits of my research in that area in my FQXi essays, so it will be clear to all that this model follows from my prior work. Personally; I'd rather work with R2-D2 and C3PO than work for a Terminator style robot, and this is a necessary step in that direction. However; if we did create this technology, and fed into the computer works of the great philosophers, religious texts, legal documents, and so on; it would calculate percentage truth-values for various assertions contained therein.

                Of course; it will cause the worst scandal in history when people realize that a computer is being made the arbiter of their religion. This is why such things must be handled with some sensitivity. It is also why I think the proposal of Jens Niemeyer for a repository of knowledge is important to humanity's survival, and deserves the development and use of such technology. This goes way beyond the Dewey decimal system, and could be a way to achieve a scientific level of fair representation - which is a necessary step in your plan - but will ordinary humans be willing to set cherished beliefs aside, in order to realize a bright future instead of dystopia? I hope we can both help make things better.

                All the Best,

                Jonathan
