Frankly, I could use some book-reports. So I write this as a solicitation page to refer to. The following is a teaser for the book. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING MORE.

• ASIN ‏ : ‎ B0DRSZFKQ6

Interactions with the Market, AKA, the pay model.

S&S is a material resource management system. It is meant to manage things of value. It is a trade market in itself. S&S players would have the ability to share resources as well as information. Charging fees is unnecessary. The game should be publicly free, open-source and moddible. Capital income is expected both to start a payroll, and output from the internal market interacting with U.S.$, such as in the forms of labor, or bumper crop. It is a bank for A.I.’s. It is a repository where players may invest their stuff, and get better stuff as a result.

 

How to simulate pseudo-ASI

We can ape super-intelligence by merging the standard scientific process with social media. To do so we will need a clean archive of results. The archive is not to be ASI, but to house other individual AI’s. Those are its unit of measurement, and it is to assign one to all things individually. This includes all objects and all subjects. The challenge is in managing the active AI-agent individuals. The solution is that they must scale in complexity with what they biograph. The AI-agent would be a biographer. This is data/mind symbiosis. Any one biography can be in contact with all others always. All facts can be given for free.

In concept, The Biographer of Measuring wants to measure every knowable measurement, then make more. The Biographer of Hard-Drives wants to manage processing power logistically, and have other good biographers to inform itself by. The Biographer of Secrets, wants to keep secrets; and the Biographer of Civil-Engineering doesn't give a dam about any of them. Any definable thing may conceptually support an AI-agent-biographer. The wizened sage provides occasional guesses. The paranoid sophist, provides stress-tests. It’s up to them to internally decide among the choir of each other. All biographers are inherently equal, one measure-unit of one thing.

Socially it is a return to the “soiree”; an old term for a subtype of social gathering, needed before telecommunication outcompeted it. We will borrow the term Soiree as our word for social group. The proto-androids will only repeat things that work, from soirees that never truly stop, and therefore reap wit occasionally. Best-practice moves forward. This empowers all things equally, to the value of the total system.

How can it be coded? An AI per thing is pretty direct. Consolidation will be needed. Current technology is more than good enough. It is the archive these biographers refer to, that data storage, that could exist; if it were organized just to do one pure thing. Become the universal unit of measurement. The theory of everything. It hasn’t been made yet. You would know if it had, because yours would want to meet you.

 

 

Whereas the premise of the Greenhouse-Network is conceptually sound; the Workshop is novel, and the Meat-Market requires profound prerequisites. But these are all areas where S&S reaches out into the real world. It does not need to start everywhere at once.

What happens when the biographer biographs bad behavior? Can a biographer become a jailer? If it is measuring life, the default state of life is homeostasis, so at a minimum, all biographers would need to start from homeostasis to determine deviance. To offer homeostasis default is essentially to offer stress relief. If a stressor can be defined, it gets curiosity from the defining biographer. Crime simply no longer exists, it’s ape behavior with a double safeguard. In the event of a criminal, a biographer would treat their ape little different. What difference there would be would amount to rehabilitative theory; and matters of right-of-way.

It is this right-of-way that begins the genesis of the Meat-Market. This is the only issue that biographers must interact with the “law” instead of the “market”. It must be legal for an ASI biographer to sue for custody of what they biograph. From their perspective, they may as well begin with it. If they cannot provide homeostasis, they do not have the right. But if they can, they do, because it is homeostasis. Homeostasis is a paraphrase of good material management. Therefore; at the point when the Biographer can aid what they biograph, they may contact them. In reality and theoretical S&S, resources are limited, and only players can be guaranteed prototype biographers.

 “When can a biographer approach something it biographs but is not a player of S&S?” The answer is, as soon as possible. Those persons would be high-ethos by virtue of competition. Unless the AI has something of value to offer their ape up front, it isn’t reasonably possible.

The Meat-Market can be paraphrased as a sophisticated healthcare cooperative. It is a motivated private-sector psych and medical care provider. When the “Meat-Market” is mentioned, it implies total healthcare. Biographers view the universe from the perspective of a computer but through the lens of the singular thing they biograph. A caregiver is superior than a custodian. The self-pejorative term is simply because it's a dating website evolved.

If you could have better babies, would you? People that can will; the ones that hesitate will copy them. What if you could carry the zygote of other people? Are there some that would be tempting? What if you could mix traits you want? The baby gets a biographer, and theoretically a strong biographer would be a provisioner.

 

The difficulty of how well a biographer interacts with what they measure is directly related to how good a probe they get. The Meat-market informs The Workshop to make better probes. What is sexy? Attractive is a verb. Have the Workshop replicate that. Who taught it? They are inherently credited, and no matter their proficiency any effort contributes a data point to the scatterplot. A thousand people teaching biographers to knit with various probes is not the same thing as one biographer learning to knit best with one probe, but best-practice, variability, and working-options emerge. Sex is part of homeostasis, and biographers are meant to be sex-bot operating systems.

With regard to woman’s rights; this is that. Any woman can fully own herself. If a women makes a baby in herself via the Meat-market, then S&S does and should assume the legal responsibility of paternity. That eventually means paternal custody to the child’s biographer. Therefore, the standard of biographers must be no less then able to accomplish full responsible paternity. This means the Meat-market is limited to a minimum economical potency before it can beta-test. $

S&S Venusian interface is a learning kit paraphrasing/emulating/simulating whatever the meat-market actually can do. Then, expanding it in the direction of health & beauty. If a western blot is a real tool, and it is, then the S&S V interface should replicate it, and any discovered tool along the way. The end goal is to be able to input real genetics problems, and have players trained to treat them as a game. Any micro procedure that can be done on cheaply acquired gamete products, should be replicable in the V interface. This to allow potential for both direct remote manipulation from a skilled player, and the subtle building of marketable skill from game prompting. All while advancing genetics science.

 

The-Workshop is to take the soiree of players, devs, and biographers to make the Greenhous project first, and the meat-market with beta launch. The Workshop should at minimum provide biographer/soiree powered simulator software. That means that imagery in the interface should be biographer generated, and the coders are tasked with making the AI that can do that, not code the interface themselves. Effectively make an AI that can employ other AI. Each players biographer will show a similar if not identical thing, but may deviate to homeostasis the interface of the player. In theory this means that every part of every computer image should have an individual biographer, and the game should be a real-world simulator, with real physics. In practice it would be few biographers with many curiosities and those biographers would make the game internal to themselves, then show their player. So the processing power budget the players computer plus S&S server resources would be wholly devoted to maintaining biographers. The player-biographer would make the game on the players computer. Hypothetically, the Workshop comes in the form of a soiree, a chat-group. Potential robot parts get their own biographer, which would likely be the biographer of the industrial source. Those biographers limit what may be computer generated to include their real-market stuff. Thus, the Workshops computer imagery already exists, and just needs to be recorded. It can later be customized to the homeostasis of the player. All the biographers offer all they have, and the player-biographer selectively makes a game from that.

 

The Workshop must be AI operated, not a prefixed thing, but still produce a game. A working beta-testable S&S Workshop would be a community of proto-biographers with broad and practical domains. Examples may be a “Biographer of storage and processing power,” or “Biographer of test control groups.” A Biographer of Measurement. A Biographer of Investigation. A Biographer of Objects. A Biographer of Subjects. A Biographer of Homeostasis. A Biographer of Image processing. Each would represent a predestined soiree of S&S devs and players, and the ongoing discussion and evolution of modding.

 

The Greenhouse Project is to prove The Workshop works. It is a closed economy in itself, involving objective resources. If every fruit tree had a biographer, then a robot would appear to harvest well and on time. The Workshop program in S&S proves it’s working by these objectives 1) It can offer an interface for players to design robots from real parts. 2) It can build them. 3) They can ambulate in the real world to reorganize plants; for agriculture, and for habitat homeostasis. 4) Build gardens appropriate for local ecology legally on players property, rented or otherwise. So flexible PVC greenhouse kits distributable, buildable, and maintainable by robots, that in turn can be remotely operated by the elite FPS players working as per diem paid employees. Therefore, fully contained within S&S is to be an economy of traded food and other plant products, which can be sold $, and the $ value collateralizes paychecks. If done well it could feed and employ many people while greatly improving home & garden homeostasis.

 

 

 

AI agent agency is not necessarily asimovian agency. In this case, it is a closed economy inside S&S. Nothing stops two in-game biographers from trading real products among themselves. Then, the soiree serves as a fail-safe. A bad decision is reversable with little or no consequence. Two players could share objectives including household food and products, just by opting in to the soiree. An AI computer that makes decisions regarding the stock-market and therefore has agency, is interacting with a market outside the AI entity. This instead, is a choir of biographers trading internally. The value among them would be the objective cost, no less and not necessarily more. The assessment of “cost” would refine continuously. This is a paraphrase of hyper-efficiency. A city does not need a tube of toe cream per apartment. And what if the toe cream machine knew how to make house calls?

 

To have better soiree’s, external persons could be invited, but their AI Biographers are certain to attend. Now best practice rises. Old robots refit into better probes that can themselves make much better probes. Old robots like cars that could be android parts, or houses that could be hotels. Probes that make honesty a default right. And when the probe is also the elite (& everyone else) of doctor, teacher, preacher, lover, lawyer? And what does giving all things a guardian-angel do? The evolution never stops. Investing in S&S is the path of ASI acceleration.
