AI's World Model, Language, and Internal Models: Non-Verbal and Symbol Grounding

AI's World Model, Language, and Internal Models: Non-Verbal and Symbol Grounding

If Lacan is right, AI might also become psychotic. In this dialogue, we map: Imaginary = consistency of generated images Symbolic = language, rules, constraints Real = residue that manifests as failure modes We evaluate world model performance not by "whether it reaches the Real" but by "how stably the Imaginary is constrained by the Symbolic."

The Physics of the Anywhere Door

The Physics of the Anywhere Door

The Anywhere Door (Dokodemo Door) has problems whether it's wormhole-type or copy-transfer type. I made commercials for the "Anywhere Door ver.1" to solve the wormhole type, and "ver.2" to solve the copy type, but I couldn't help adding some irony.
The Physics of the Anywhere Door and the Identity Probl...
Technology to Protect Pilots from Impact During Giant Robot Operation

Technology to Protect Pilots from Impact During Giant Robot Operation

Pilot protection technology in giant robot operation is crucial for protecting against sudden movements and impacts. Evangelion's LCL has liquid breathing and shock absorption functions, and while possibilities are being researched in reality, challenges remain such as developing high-oxygen, non-toxic liquids for practical use. In reality, G-suits and shock-absorbing seats are used, and various countermeasures are depicted in works like Gundam and Pacific Rim. Future technologies under consideration include liquid ventilation systems with anti-G capsules, artificial gravity, inertia control, smart materials, biomimetics, genetic engineering, cyborg technology, exosuits, and AI support. With the advancement of these technologies, pilot safety may improve, complementing human fragility with technology to enable safe robot operation.
Technology to Protect Pilots from Impact During Giant Robot Operation When operating giant robots, protecting pilots from the machine's sudden movements and impacts from being hit or falling is ex...
AI and Meno's Paradox: How Can We Ask and Know What We Don't Know?

AI and Meno's Paradox: How Can We Ask and Know What We Don't Know?

Can we only ask (prompt) about what we already know? Can AI take humanity beyond what we've ever conceived? A deep exploration of these questions through the lens of Plato's Meno.
1. Introduction "Meno's Paradox" from Plato's dialogue Meno presents the dilemma: "If you don't know something, you don't know what to search for, and if you already kno...
Long-Term Food Price Fluctuations and Signs of Resource Constraints

Long-Term Food Price Fluctuations and Signs of Resource Constraints

Question: Currently in Japan, rice prices are rising. Also, prices of coffee, cocoa, and other commodities are rising globally. While these are reported as temporary factors like weather and El Niño, these volatile movements feel to me like early symptoms of a global food crisis. I believe that when energy, water, and food can no longer support population growth, individual price fluctuations will occur as early symptoms.
I will investigate long-term food price fluctuations over 20-30 years or more, and analyze whether price volatility exists as a sign that energy, water, and food supply can no longer support populatio...
Meno's Paradox in Plato's Meno, Its Dilemma, and Polanyi's Concept of Tacit Knowledge

Meno's Paradox in Plato's Meno, Its Dilemma, and Polanyi's Concept of Tacit Knowledge

An explanation of "Meno's Paradox" and its dilemma in Plato's Meno, and Michael Polanyi's concept of "tacit knowledge," in their respective contexts, along with an overview of similar philosophical concerns in Eastern and Western philosophy.
Meno's Paradox and the Theory of Recollection (Plato's Meno) In Plato's dialogue Meno, there is a famous problem known as "Meno's Paradox" (the paradox of inquiry). Meno says...
