Taming Complexity: Effective Asset Management Systems in a Bounded World
Taming Complexity: Effective Asset Management Systems in a Bounded World Written by Kieran Chalk Asset Management Systems (AMS) are powerful tools for optimizing the lifecycle of physical assets. But beneath the veneer of data and schedules lies a world of complexity. AMS, like all macrocognitive work systems (MWS), function within inherent bounds – limitations in…

Beyond Off-Switches: A Layered Approach to AI Governance
The Alignment Challenge: Safeguarding Superintelligence The prospect of superintelligent AI, machines that surpass human cognitive abilities, presents both immense potential and existential risk. To ensure this technology serves humanity, we must address the challenge of superalignment – keeping the AI’s goals intrinsically aligned with human values. This blog post explores various methods for achieving this.…

Thriving in Chaos: A Compass for Navigating the Adaptive Universe
Thriving in Chaos: A Compass for Navigating the Adaptive Universe Our world is inherently complex and constantly changing. Traditional, rigid systems often struggle to keep pace with this ever-evolving landscape. The Theory of Graceful Extensibility (TTOGE) offers a powerful framework for understanding and designing adaptable systems that can not only survive but thrive in chaos.…

Human and Machine: The Symbiotic Mind and the Future of Complexity
Human and Machine: The Symbiotic Mind and the Future of Complexity Our world is not a collection of stable islands, but a dynamic, complex system. This blog post leverages the Theory of Graceful Extensibility (TTOGE) to understand how systems, including ourselves and future AI, can thrive in this environment. TTOGE teaches us that complexity is…

AI Meets the Brain: Exploring Common Ground Through TTOGE
AI Meets the Brain: Exploring Common Ground Through TTOGE This blog post explored the surprising common ground between the human brain and Artificial Intelligence (AI) neural networks. We leveraged the Theory of Graceful Extensibility (TTOGE) as a framework to understand how both systems achieve adaptability despite their vastly different underlying mechanisms. TTOGE’s principles, like finite…

Intelligent Synergy: The Human-AI Partnership Defining the Future
The blog examines the societal transformation driven by AI, highlighting the shift from mechanical to organic solidarity. It contrasts SCOT’s emphasis on human agency with technological determinism’s focus on technology as a societal change agent. The analysis of historical technologies like bicycles versus horses illustrates their varying impacts and the role of Gibbs free energy…

Emergent Complexities
This blog delves into the concept of Emergent Complexities and the Theory of Graceful Extensibility (TTOGE). It discusses how complex systems exhibit adaptive behaviors in response to change and challenges, emphasizing the importance of interconnectedness and flexibility. The theory’s assumptions and proto-theorems highlight the finite resources of adaptive units and the necessity for coordination to…
