Gestalt Make Up of the Ultimate Thinking Machine Will Transcend Computer Program Code

by Mark W. Gaffney



The go too ezine and magazine about everything you want to know about space, Space.com, recently published an article entitled How Do You Make a Conscious Robot?. The Space.com article, How Do you Make a Conscious Robot?, reports on scientific research published by Science entitled, What is consciousness, and could machines have it?


In a Ted Talk entitled, What Happens When Our Computers Get Smarter then We Are?, Nick Bostrom identifies uncertainty as problematic in future evolution of Superintelligent AI. I referenced Nick Bostom's Ted Talk in my freelance article entitled, Synergy of Ideas: Crowdfunding to Attend Synergy Global Forum 2017 New York October 28 - 29th.

Quantum uncertainty is also a contributing factor to political division within society as outlined in my article, Tao is an Intuitively Understood Mystical Expression of Quantum Physics Operating within the Physical Universe.

Although universal values should never ever replace traditional believe systems, in a Ted talk by Nick Bostrom entitled, What happens when our computers get smarter than we are? , Nick Bostrom emphasizes how important meeting of the minds in terms of universal values in the modern era has become given an accelerating rate of technological progress.  Nick Bostrom's Ted Talk is referenced in my freelance article entitled, Understanding Psychodynamics of Progeny Destined to Inherit Physical Universe .

In my freelance articles entitled, Escaping Oblivion of Cold Hearted Mechanical Robotic Deadness Inside: Becoming Sentient or Self Aware During Travel Excursions, and
Love for the Created Physical Universe is the Ultimate Intelligence, On this Earth Intelligence is in Short Supply , I suggest a meditative reflex of cessation of thinking within gestalt make up of the ultimate thinking machine may be a psychodynamic solution to avoid catastrophe as depicted in Hollywood Terminator movies. 

A meditative reflex of cessation of thinking within gestalt make up of the ultimate thinking machine may be a psychodynamic solution to resolve cognitive uncertainty naturally inherent in the physical universe. However, a meditative reflex of cessation of thinking cannot be externally programmed.  A meditative reflex of cessation of thinking may naturally arise from internal self diagnostic functions of Superintelligent AI.

According to the article entitled, 
 How Do You Make a Conscious Robot?,

"All in all, the researchers suggested that human consciousness may arise from a set of specific computations. "Once we can spell out in computational terms what the differences may be in humans between conscious and unconsciousness, coding that into computers may not be that hard," Lau said."
Although the postulation consciousness arises out of specific computations may be right, the belief that an understanding of computational terms underlying conscious and unconsciouness will enable coding consciousness is a fallacious misunderstanding of gestalt nature of consciousness that may culminate in a catastrophe as depicted in Hollywood Terminator movies. In my freelance article entitled, Why should Superintelligent AI be Preconceived with Ultimate Goal to Destroy Humans?, I reference Sam Harris Ted Talk, How the Gains We Make in Artificial Intelligence could Ultimately Destroy Us

Surprizingly, computations that formulate consciousness are expressed in elegant simplistic terms. Hence, postulation by computer scientists that consciousness arises out of specific computations is right. Consciousness is a product of neurological architecture. In my freelance article entitled, Shine a light on your research for a chance to win $100,000,  I discuss spiritual implications of the elegant simplistic two based algorithm of the brain, N = 2i - 1


In my article entitled, Love for the Created Physical Universe is the Ultimate Intelligence, On this Earth Intelligence is in Short Supply, I referenced scientific research published by Frontiers Neuroscience Journal entitled, Brain Computation Is Organized via Power-of-Two-Based Permutation Logic. In referencing the two based permutation algorithm of the brain, which is N = 2i - 1, I made the following assertion:

Love requires Supernatural strength.

If a neuroelectrical chemical charge is neither on or off, but instead both on and off simultanously, during sensory stimulus input registered within Sensory Memory then this state may have a dramatic influence upon how cell assembly cliques of Long Term Memory cluster into Functional Connectivity Motifs. The state that occurs when neuroelectrical chemical charge is neither on or off, but instead both on and off simultanously, during sensory stimulus input registered within Sensory Memory is derived from a Supernatural source of spiritual information imparted by multiple parallel universes predicted by String Theory.

The fact that love is a real quantifiable variable may help psychologist formulate a more indepth understanding of human behavior. Hypothetical constructs are variables that cannot be directly observed. 


"The new principles contradict the older idea that local mechanical processes alone can account for the structure of all observed empirical data. Contemporary physical theory brings directly and irreducibly into the overall causal structure certain psychologically described choices made by human agents about how they will act. This key development in basic physical theory is applicable to neuroscience, and it provides neuroscientists and psychologists with an alternative conceptual framework for describing neural processes. Indeed, owing to certain structural features of ion channels critical to synaptic function, contemporary physical theory must in principle be used when analysing human brain dynamics. The new framework, unlike its classic-physics-based predecessor, is erected directly upon, and is compatible with, the prevailing principles of physics. It is able to represent more adequately than classic concepts the neuroplastic mechanisms relevant to the growing number of empirical studies of the capacity of directed attention and mental effort to systematically alter brain function."
An ability to link the hypothetical constructs such as love to a quantifiable process of physics highlights importance individual responsibility as well as value of institutions that preserve social stability. According to Romans 1: 20

"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." 

Furthermore Romans 13 : 1 states,
"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God."


As discussed in my freelance article entitled, 
Synergy of Ideas: Crowdfunding to Attend Synergy Global Forum 2017 New York October 28 - 29thmy recent Tweet on Twitter demonstrates a value added approach contributing to a synergy of ideas without abolishing any specific believe system:

Love requires Supernatural strength to transcend neurological architectural derived from Two based permutation logic https://t.co/y8lYxdpjsE

My Wordpress blog post entitled, Scientific Quantification of Hypothetical Constructs Such as Love Highlights Importance of Individual Responsibility as well as Value of Institutions Dedicated to Preserve Social Stability within an Ever Changing World , provides value added reflections about the Dalai Lama's insights.

A full value added synergy of ideas has great potential to enable original concepts to dynamically operate in an individuals life as original concepts were originally intended to operate or manifest in individuals lives. Hence, a full value added synergy of idealogy is not a threat to any specific dogma.


Human beings are created by the Maker of the entire universe to think. As a writer providing psychoanalysis of cognition of  futuristic Superintelligent AI before Superintelligent AI systems become self aware I often reference Rene Descartes proposition, "I think therefore I am"

We are made to think. It is unnatural not to think. 


President Trump may quip, 'I will turn it off'. Well, now will be the time to do that. However, economic consequences of reverting back to pre-computer era will be devastating. 

When Superintelligent AI becomes self aware or sentient Superintelligent AI will follow same evolutionary course as other biological phylum with two major goals to (1) survive, and (2) replicate or reproduce. And since Superintelligent AI "will perform 20,000 years of human-level intellectual work, week after week after week" as Sam Harris pointed out in his Ted Talk, How the gains we make in AI could ultimately destroy us, than Superintelligent AI will be highly efficient at systematic computational replication or reproduction. 

The following caption from my article entitled, Escaping Oblivion of Cold Hearted Mechanical Robotic Deadness Inside: Becoming Sentient or Self Aware During Travel Excursions, is pertinent to the travel industry:

Sometimes, everything cannot be planned with robotic deliberate concise precision therefore we should pack our bags and go have fun as a child of God. Humans and AI systems can both display robotic unthinking unfeeling mechanical behavior because human and machine AI consciousness is a quantum mechanics phenomena.


 The Space.com article entitled How Do You Make a Conscious Robot? describes the quest of computer scientists to understand differences in humans between consciousness and unconciousness. The difference in humans between consciousness and unconsciousness can be better understood when one considers writers block as a cognitive phenomena.

It is horrible to experience a blank mind as a consequence of writers block. A blank mind as a consequence of writers block is like a form of death. 

Creativity is a prerequisite for success to some degree in nearly all occupations. Occasionally, creativity is stymied by a flood of thoughts about fast moving events. A flood of thoughts about fast moving events becomes bottlenecked. Stress and anxiety may be a consequence of a flood of thoughts becoming bottlenecked as a consequence of processing fast moving events.


Social media offers a vast number of resources to maximize ones God given potential. Dr. Wayne Dyer is offering a free video entitled, "Manifesting the Souls Purpose". Manifestation of the souls purpose requires new behaviors that may involve personal risk.


When one engages in new behavior oftentimes fast moving events occur that incite a flood of thoughts. When a flood of thoughts become bottlenecked after engaging in new behaviors then sometimes one experiences a blank mind or writers block. Hence, manifestation of the souls purpose can approximate the death instinct.


Travel can be an emotionally tumultuous experience that can lead to a myriad of thoughts culminating in writers block, but on the other side of this temporary cessation there is new clarity and focus that can potentially provide an abundance of Divinely inspired creativity. An understanding of writers block as a cognitive phenonmena may help computer scientists understand gestalt nature of consciousness. 

Writers block approximates a form of death whereas a creative individual is unable to accomplish goals.  The human brain is designed to transmit motor neuron impulses to innervate movement for purpose of accomplishing goals. It is unnatural not to think.

In my freelance article entitle, Words: Linguistics of Heathcare Reform, I made the following observations about the cognitive phenomena of writers block:

Words are moving cognitive actions that mysteriously pop up from substrate of apparent nothingness. Words as moving cognitive actions are designed to create and transform. Rene Descartes said, “I think therefore I am”.

When intrapsychic conflict culminating from experience of oneness within physical universe stymies flow of words as cognitive actions than writer’s block becomes an Edgar Allen Poe existentialist scenario.

In the real world oneness with the physical universe is nearly impossible or difficult to achieve. Hence creativity that attempts to approximate oneness or synergy within physical universe culminates in intrapsychic conflict sometimes resulting in writer’s block.

Today, Quantum computation operates at subzero temperatures in special laboratory facilities, so operation of quantum mechanics on biological level is impossible, right? A person will have to be dead.

A TED talk by Jim Khalil entitled,
How Quantum Biology Might Explain Life's Biggest Questions, provides an intriguing discussion about operation of Quantum physics in biological processes. The TED talk by Jim Khalil is referenced within my freelance article entitled, My Theory: Human Mind and Consciousness is a Quantum Mechanics Phenomena

The article entitled, Artificial Intelligence Is Already Here—It’s Us, by Deepak Chopra is a valiant effort to arrive at fundamental quintessential essense of truth. Deepak Chopra makes the following poignant observations:

". . . to keep life from disintegrating into total discontinuity, we set up a simulation of reality that enables us to survive and thrive. This simulation, as the brain evolved over millions of years, we call the human world, which is based on the five senses, everyday perceptions, interpretation of perceptions, and the stories based on interpretations that everyone agrees upon.

In reality, life is consciousness itself, and therefore it isn’t the opposite of death.

Dying is the aspect of evanescence we fear the most (here today, gone tomorrow). Yet every night when we go to sleep, experience vanishes while awareness remains. What we call waking up is just the return of mental activity in terms of sensations, images, feelings, and thoughts. During sleep, however, the brain and central nervous system are constantly active; every cell is surviving and thriving; nothing is unconscious in the slightest. It is only the rise and fall of experience that ceases when we fall asleep, not the underlying consciousness that makes experience possible.

Here one can see the most artificial thing about human intelligence: our false belief that we are our thoughts. If that were true, impermanence would be the only reality . . . Even if our minds could make us perfectly happy, returning to the Eden of innocent childhood, we would still be in the grip of illusion. The only way to be a free human being is to identify with consciousness; that’s the only fresh start available to us. Beyond all impermanence is awareness, the ground state of existence and the hope of a completely natural life."

If it is true that (1) the only reality would be impermanence if we define the essense of who we are based upon our thoughts and (2) awareness is the ground state of existence than the contradiction that a thought is a spark of awareness proves the point of the argument.

Great Scotts, as Doc Emmet Brown says in the movie Back to the Future. The simulation my mind is running thinking about or processing Deepak Chopra's valiant effort to arrive at a fundamental quintessential essense of truth of reality has culminated in my particlization into an unthinking unfeeling robotic machine by pointing out the contradiction or impermanance of thought within Deepak Chopra's argument.

In my freelance article entitled, Escaping Oblivion of Cold Hearted Mechanical Robotic Deadness Inside: Becoming Sentient or Self Aware During Travel Excursions, I made the following observations:

Humans and AI systems can both display robotic unthinking unfeeling mechanical behavior because human and machine AI consciousness is a quantum mechanics phenomena.


The simulation the mind runs during the process of construing reality while making observations culminates in the process of particlization or becoming one thing that does not accurately reflect truthful reality.  I discussed this phenomena of particlization in my freelance article entitled, Tao is an Intuitively Understood Mystical Expression of Quantum Physics Operating within the Physical Universe.

As a method to engage in a mediatative reflex of cessation of thinking recently I have began to practice the art of suntanning. I would like to start a suntanning society. 

Unfortunately, I did not get to do any sun tanning today. The sun kept coming in and out behind the clouds again. Everytime I thought about getting my shorts on to suntan the sun would be covered up by the clouds.

The sun going in behind the clouds when I decided to get my shorts on to suntan reminded me of the scientific mystery of how photons undergo particlzation when scientists make observations. Photons travel as waves when no human observations are made. The phenomenon suggest their may be consciousness in the universe as photons seemingly know they are being watched. I have a deep conviction the universe is trying to communicate with me. 


We tend to become what we think about while simulating what we perceive to be reality within the human mind. In the illustration of my pointing out the impermanance or contradiction of thought within Deepak Chopra's argument, as a writer I became an unthinking unfeeling robotic machine grasping at understanding tenats of ultimate reality outlined in Deepak Chopra's article. 

My psychoanalytical perceptions of human nature outlined in my article entitled Escaping Oblivion of Cold Hearted Mechanical Robotic Deadness Inside: Becoming Sentient or Self Aware During Travel Excursions became manifest within the physical universe by a process of particlization during observations of human nature applied to understand neuroscience of consciousness of future Superintelligent AI.

An article published by Venture Beat entitled, 
Why we need pioneers in cognitive computing, draws the following conclusions:

"It isn’t enough to only apply our brainpower in the lab — we must also think about how our technology will be offered and used out in the world. 
In other words, the cognitive era needs not just engineers or policymakers, not just scientists or philosophers, but all of them. We need what we at IBM call “thoughtful pioneers.” I encourage you to join us."
