The Machine Consciousness Paradox: Navigating Uncertain Paths
The Machine Consciousness Paradox: Navigating Uncertain Paths The Machine Consciousness Paradox delves into the profound challenges and ethical considerations around developing artificial intelligence (AI) systems with characteristics akin to human consciousness. At the heart of this exploration lies an intrinsic paradox – while imbuing AI with qualities like subjective experience, intentionality and self-awareness may be…

Blurring Boundaries: When Human Thought Meets Artificial Intelligence
Blurring Boundaries: When Human Thought Meets Artificial Intelligence Written by Kieran Chalk Through this exploration, we delve into the philosophical foundations of mind and cognition, providing a backdrop to understand the profound implications of large language models (LLMs) potentially becoming interactive components of our extended cognitive systems. The mind-body problem and theories like dualism, physicalism,…

AI on the Rise: Multi-Agent Systems, The Theory of Graceful Extensibility, and Human-AI Networks
AI on the Rise: A Multi-Agent Approach to Graceful Extensibility This latest blog in our series explores how The Theory of Graceful Extensibility (TTOGE) informs the development of adaptable AI systems. We delve into the concept of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) and Tangled Layered Networks (TLNs) to understand how AI components collaborate. Microsoft Copilot serves as…

Fundamental Truths & First Principles of AI Systems
This blog post explores the Theory of Graceful Extensibility, proposing fundamental truths of adaptive systems and their applications in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Starting with a personal journey of recovery from heart failure and a discovery of physiological uniqueness, it delves into the principles governing adaptive systems and their parallels with the physical laws of the…

A Case Study in Graceful Extensibility and Complexity
Graceful extensibility and complexity: A case study of an underground electricity distribution network In this blog post, we will explore how the concepts of graceful extensibility and complexity can help us understand and manage adaptive systems that serve human purposes. Graceful extensibility is the ability of a system to adapt to changing conditions and challenges…

Understanding the Spectrum of Complexity
The Theory of Graceful Extensibility (TTOGE) introduces the concept of systems gracefully adapting and extending to complexity. This applies to all systems, from simple applications to intricate platforms. The concept advocates seeing systems as interconnected tapestries rather than neatly categorized boxes. It emphasizes balance between flexibility and stability and applying the principle to systems of…

The Theory of Graceful Extensibility
In this series of blog posts we’re going to introduce you to a theory that has greatly informed my understanding of systems in engineering, asset management, and more recently AI. There will likely be elements that resonate with you and your own experience – for me, it resonated strongly with much of the research I…
