A while ago, I had entertained the idea of "list of ideas hardest to grasp <https://www.halfbakery.com/idea/List_20of_20The_20Hardest_20Ideas_20To_20Grasp>" (halfbakery.com) that would define new thresholds for intelligence, a bit like that existing between humans and animals: ideas that a human would likely never in their lifetime understand, just like a dog would likely never understand how a light bulb works.
Today, the time has come when AI can be used to try to explore such ideas, such lists. And so, I tried, and it resulted in claims of facts some of which were not immediately obvious to me, but upon closer investigation appears to check out, such as: - *"Events do not occur or exist; only the absence of specific events exists and structures all reality."* - *"Logic is not a method of reasoning; it is a physical substance permeating reality that can be condensed, distilled, or destroyed."* - *"Existence is fundamentally impossible; what appears to exist is merely a persistent symmetry-breaking of impossibility."* - *"Numbers are physically real beings with independent agency that intentionally regulate relationships between what humans call objects."* - *"Observation does not reduce uncertainty; rather, uncertainty itself observes events into definite states."* - *"Information does not convey meaning; it consumes meaning as a resource to maintain its own stability."* - *"Space is not dimensional; it is purely emotional, and distance is measured only by changes in emotional states."* - *"Identity is not a persistent feature of reality but an infectious conceptual contagion spreading across unrelated structures."* - *"Time never passes; it grows continuously outward in every direction simultaneously, filling reality rather than flowing through it."* - *"Cause and effect are illusions; reality consists entirely of unrelated patterns imitating relationships without genuine connection."* I'm going to try to formalize them later, but here is my experiment: https://chatgpt.com/share/67d686e8-3174-800e-b652-8c5d2b145294 I wonder, what would you discover, if you were to entertain the idea of searching for facts about the nature of reality, that are as inexplicable to humans, as the fact how a light bulb, or a computer screen works is inexplicable to dogs? Where could our understanding of the universe and capabilities lead to? What new science could we discover?
