Ideas create reality.

Collective Brain It has been a few weeks since I started thinking about building a website for fun. Basically, I was trying to come up with an idea that would be easy enough to be implemented fast and complex enough to make it interesting for users. I was also thinking about something interactive -- something that would involve the users in an interesting and fun way. So, I came up with the following idea: "Every social media platform makes its users to log in and post something individually. What if they had a platform where they post something collectively?" I don't want to talk about this particular idea and its implementation in this post very much, so, long story short: you can visit the  CoWis (Collective Wisdom)  website and see it for yourselves. Then I kept thinking about something new. This idea of making people do something "meaningful" or "unmeaningful" together seemed very intriguing to me. It has been a few days now that I finally ref...

Retrospection Adaptive Lossless Compression (ALC) is something that I came up with during the time period between the end of my bachelor and the first year of my master studies. Back then I sometimes joined George Hotz's streams from time to time and once I heard him saying something that was about the idea of compression leading to intelligence being very interesting. Then he said that even in physics or mathematics we try to invent some formulas to represent our sensations or observations. At that moment, the idea of compression caught my attention. I thought about the numbers, functions and sets in mathematics and one question naturally came to my mind: W hy do problems have mathematical solutions?  Another way to ask would be that why do they have solutions that are mathematical? As I kept thinking about this question, I started realizing the true depth of it. I do not have an answer to give today but I developed some intuitions about it. If you want to understand it, you m...

Realizations What makes the P.I.P. theorem so interesting to explore even further has something to do with what I have realized throughout 7+ years. Here are my realizations so far: I was essentially working on AI even before I knew such thing existed P.I.P. as a generalization of Taylor's expansion RS-ALC as a generalization of the P.I.P. theorem Similarities with Category Theory Before going any further, let me first tell you that I am no expert in any of those theories/fields although I can spot multiple similarities between PIP and those. 1. Working on a part of something that I didn't even know about P.I.P. is all about the prediction of the next observation (obtained by a polynomial function) by somehow processing the history of all observations, and it can be essentially formulated as a lossless compression algorithm since its outputs never contradict the previous observations. It can also be viewed as a compression technique since you only need to keep the frontier o...
