DM What are your perspectives regarding my recently posted opinion within The New York Times? This piece articulates something genuinely important, though I think it stops short of the deeper diagnosis your Pantakinesis framework would offer. What the article gets right: The historical genealogy is valuable —tracing how Cattell's "span" metrics, Mackworth's vigilance studies, and Broadbent's valve-and-tube diagrams progressively mechanized attention into something measurable,

DM Related to our prior discussion (F>T, F=T) , and the conversation prior (Social Physics) , I argue that "trust" is a form of "personal truth;" thus both are aspects of holophrenic "knowledge curation." Do you understand this conjecture (and perhaps envision the potential implications)? Yes, I understand your conjecture, and I think it's doing significant work within your framework. Let me articulate what I see: Within the Universal Holophren, "truth" as you've defined it

DM I've left too much unsaid, or perhaps unresolved, in our prior conversations regarding "Fitness Beats Truth" (F>T) theory/paradigm (Hoffman, et al) in comparison with my "Fitness Equals Truth™" (F=T™) hypothesis. Let me begin to expand with these precipitative thoughts: 1) Both should be considered upon the human version of The Universal Holophren™ 2) F>T reflects historic-to-present, evolutionary application of the intelligences so as to optimally assure sustainable exist

DM Good afternoon. What are you perspectives of "Social Physics," such as the merits, arguments pro and con, potential value/utility/importance, means, methods and current progress (including the integration of A.I.)? Note explanations by advocate and Media Lab/MIT professor, Alex Pentland, a decade ago. Good afternoon, Sciart. Alex Pentland's "Social Physics" is a fascinating framework that I suspect will resonate with some aspects of your systems-level thinking, while als

The opportunity for everyday folks to enhance their lives and work with AI has never been greater, but it can take experimentation and persistence

“Being connected to another person makes us feel safer and keeps our bodies at a kind of physiologic equilibrium that promotes health.”

Most people try to keep work and friendship in separate boxes, but that division is counterproductive. Professionals now spend more time with colleagues than with anyone else, and strong personal ties at work are directly linked to trust, learning,creativity, and performance.

Good morning! So, how about today we do a partial "verifying sync." This would affirm and acknowledge we're in agreement on a variety of primary topics of our past conversations? Specifically, to assure we've"solid sync"on these five topics: 1) Pantakinesis™ , and its foundational three components (•all-encompassing, •motion, •vanishing points), is presently an optimal defining description of reality; 2) the Universal Holophren™ is a framework for the better understanding of
