A much needed update

Marco Palombi -

I've been so immersed in programming lately that I haven't had the chance to update my blog. Some friends have been asking about the project's status, almost as if they sensed something was wrong. This made me realize it's been a while since I last wrote here.

The truth is, I've been busy with a significant breakthrough: the first implementation of a Geneosophic expression. Specifically, I've been working on the conceptual expression of a neuron, which can be verified in the third person and executed on a computer. It's important to note that what runs on a computer in this context isn't a traditional program (more about ICE below).

Working on applied Geneosophy has been incredibly rewarding. The intuitions that guided the development of theoretical Geneosophy are now being confirmed through practical implementation. Moreover, new insights are emerging that extend and corroborate the significance of theoretical Geneosophy.

However, while talking to friends about what I am doing, I have also realized that explaining Geneosophy is challenging for several reasons:

  1. Shift in Reasoning: Understanding Geneosophy requires upending and changing implicit assumptions about reasoning.
  2. Terminology: Terms like "enliving," "XI," and "conceptual and actual expressions" are familiar to those working on Geneosophy but can be incomprehensible to outsiders.

Shift in reasoning and esoteric terminology can deter people from engaging with Geneosophy, as it threatens deeply held, obvious beliefs and appears obscure.

Fortunately, applied Geneosophy is progressing well. One significant advantage is the ability to present a working example of Geneosophic comprehension. This example, based on a third-person symbolic expression, can be verified, making it more accessible to those put off by theoretical approaches or unfamiliar terminology. However, it's worth noting that approaching a Geneosophic expression with a traditional mindset may still lead to misunderstandings, despite the expression being formal and logic.

In recent months, I've picked up Python and used it to develop what we call an Interpreter/Compiler/Enliver (ICE). ICE takes a conceptual Geneosophic expression, based on graphical symbols, and performs several functions:

  1. Conceptual Testing: Checks the conceptual expression for semantic and logical correctness.
  2. Compiling: Transforms the conceptual expression into an actual expression.
  3. Actual Testing: Assesses the actual expression for logical flaws.
  4. Enliving: Allows the actual expression to be "enlivened," or brought to life.

During the Enliving phase, one can evaluate the correspondence between the initial desiderata (goals) of the conceptual expression and the actual behaviors exhibited.

In conclusion, I have been busy, but Geneosophy is making significant progress.
