Time Flies
You check your blog and realize it's been eleven months since your last post—ironically, that post was itself a reassurance that you were still around after a previous silence. Time has a peculiar way of dissolving when you're immersed in work.
Eleven Months
In that last entry, I mentioned that theoretical Geneosophy was complete and that I had begun developing its first application: the comprehension of a neuron. I was working on a syntax to express impossibilities*—constraints—and building an interpreter in Python to read and translate an expression into a swarm of tiny, independent programs, achieving true decentralization. The goal was to bring these programs to life—enliving them—in a way that mirrors the behavior of a neuron.
Geneosophy is not something that can be absorbed casually; it requires setting aside deeply held assumptions. This applied work has been more than a technical exercise—it has fed back into the theory itself. Working hands-on has helped me sharpen and clarify its core principles. I now feel more capable of presenting the theoretical framework in a clear and accessible way.
After years of theorizing in ways that might appear strange, far-fetched, or even esoteric, there’s something profoundly affirming about seeing that abstract work take form—moving from a conceptual framework to a functioning artifact.
What Now?
Right now, I’m working on the comprehension of an organism composed of neurons, sensors, and actuators—the simplest I can imagine that can express organismic behaviors of autonomous creativity.
New challenges are emerging, such as the need to extend the syntax to express the compositionality of the intrication of impossibilities. In other words: how can I compose multiple comprehensions—like, for example, multiple neurons, sensors, and actuators—into an organism?
I’m also beginning to write essays about theoretical Geneosophy, with the goal of eventually assembling them into a book. In fact, the most common question I get when talking to friends is: Have you written anything?
So, in short, I’m currently working on:
- figuring out how to comprehend an organism, which is more complex than a single neuron
- extending the syntax
- rewriting the interpreter (because the first one was a bit of spaghetti code 🙂)
- assembling the essays into a book
'*' I used possibilities earlier, but I figured out that impossibilities is more appropriate.
