Synthetic Consciousness: A Personal Ontology I keep using a few terms and throw them at people here on X. I thought for today's challenge I can list a few of them, and explain them in relation to each other and what the important differences are. Btw, nothing here is final – it's all still being defined and written up in the papers/essays/book from yesterday's post => so some of it will change. Stop dying vs solve death: - Process world-line -- the 4D trajectory of the physical processes going on in your brain, from birth onwards, taken as one continuous thing. - Death -- as I use it: the process world-line ending irreversibly. - Stop dying -- keep the process world-line from ending, with the brain you have now. Near-term, pretty medical, buys you time => but you're still stuck with one biological brain that keeps ageing, i.e. a single point of failure. - Solve death -- going after that single point of failure itself. Premise: death is a contingent failure of the substrate. Move: swap the substrate out bit by bit for something repairable/fault-tolerant, with the process never switched off. Way slower, way harder tbh. Also "solved" doesn't mean immortal => the limits go from biological to physical ones, and the universe has plenty of those (heat death, eventually), so immortality is really its own question. - Functional whole brain isolation (FWBI) -- the CPR-and-defibrillator part, basically. People die now, so a collapsing brain needs time bought long before anyone settles the identity debate => a whole brain kept alive and working outside the body, no death in between. Categorically different from transplantation, and a different ballpark from reperfusing a brain post mortem. It's @eightsixscience's empirical core. - Extracorporeal cerebral preservation (ECP) -- the longer arc around isolation: gradual biohybrid replacement, then isolation, then further integration, ending up with what I call extracorporeal neuroprosthetics (isolated brains, at first only partly synthetic). Death is an Engineering Challenge (our essay from 2025) still calls it "ectopic cognitive preservation". - Progressive extracorporeal cerebral preservation (pECP) -- the part of that arc that's actually near-term, and pretty much the stop-dying paper: keeping a brain preserved on extracorporeal support while it's still alive and working (built straight on top of isolation). Uploading: - Classical mind uploading (CMU) -- mind uploading's first naturalisation, into computer science, with whole brain emulation (WBE) as its main instantiation. Recipe: scan/model/run as software. Load-bearing assumption: whatever carries the person survives being abstracted into a computation, i.e. substrate independence (untested). The Great Filter essay from a few days ago is about classical mind uploading specifically. - Re-naturalisation -- round two, and the central thesis of the manuscript I'm writing right now. Same aims (preservation/resilience/augmentation), just pursued step by step, preservation first. Parent disciplines this time are materials science and experimental medicine (computer science was round one; whether that counted as a naturalisation or more of a formalisation is a history question I'll leave for the paper :-)). - Hybrid mind uploading (HMU) -- the discipline that comes out of the re-naturalisation, and the most pragmatic way to solve death as far as I can tell. Programmes can live inside it. - Brain at hand -- starting point for hybrid mind uploading: the living brain someone already has, i.e. the one physical object the field actually has access to. Most of the literature I've been collecting skips it and goes straight to scan => model => run. Software still has a part to play, e.g. computationally reducible shortcuts for getting de novo hardware integrated, but as a bystander (a tool, basically) => it no longer carries the central thesis, or the philosophical leap about what the brain/consciousness/reality even is. - Biomimetic neuromorphics -- not my field to claim btw, it already exists. Where I'd put it: whole brain emulation's slot, but in hybrid mind uploading. When emulation papers say "hardware", they (mostly, but not always) mean running the model faster, neuromorphic chips included => still the free-standing simulation posture, the model sits in the centre and the hardware just runs it. Here the brain's physics gets rebuilt in a substrate that couples into the host brain at hand (keep-the-patient-alive medicine, basically). Replacement: - Weak multiple realisability -- what I call it when a different piece of brain takes over a function. I mostly lean on two things here: the serial lesion effect (take the same tissue out in stages instead of in one go and function is often spared) and Barrett's (2013) gradual reorganisation principle, which builds on it (he's got cases with vast but gradually acquired damage and no measurable psychological deficit!). What it doesn't give you: a different substrate taking over (still open, and the bit I actually care about tbh). - Alien neuron -- the concept I'd now put at the centre of hybrid mind uploading. An engineered structure whose form comes from its materials + from how it has to integrate into an existing brain (which is why it may look nothing like what it replaces). Design principle: optimising for temporal integration => start from the integrated state you want later and work backwards to what goes in first. Origin: a grafting problem actually (even a purely biological graft might look alien at implantation), the engineered one is just the general case. - Mechanistic gradual brain replacement (MGBR) -- gradual replacement where the new parts are designed from their materials up: de novo/alien-neuron substrates that match the relevant tissue physics, couple into the living host and take over bit by bit. It's the materials-first route along biological => biohybrid => non-biological, so it doesn't need bio-to-bio grafting (Hébert-style) to work out. Older posts of mine say "mechanical", same thing. Synconetics: - Synconetics programme -- one programme within hybrid mind uploading. On the roadmap: mechanistic replacement, alien neurons, and a revised gradual reorganisation principle (incl. whether the substrate version holds). Correction while I'm at it: Death is an Engineering Challenge still introduces synconetics as "a new scientific discipline" and still files replacement under Eightsix. Both outdated (the naming moved over the past months, but the essay didn't) => the discipline is hybrid mind uploading, and replacement lives here now. - World-line fidelity / empirical primacy / near-term urgency -- the programme's three principles. In short, from the essay: fidelity = the process world-line never breaks, and nothing gets traded against it (enhancement included). Empirical primacy = biology's the only substrate we KNOW carries consciousness, so synthetic stuff proves itself first. Near-term urgency = steam engines came before thermodynamics => build with what exists now, no waiting for a finished theory of consciousness. - Existential gambling -- what the Synconetics programme says no to: betting a person's existence on stuff nobody can actually test. An obvious example: destructive scan-and-copy (original world-line ends and you hope the copy's you => and conscious at all!). Stop/copy/restart setups too btw. - Synconetics Organisation -- the nonprofit (Verein) behind @synconeticsorg that Masataka Watanabe and I co-founded to run the programme. Open science, funded via a Simple Agreement for Research Equity (SARE; see yesterday's post). Org = the legal/funding vehicle, programme = the research it runs. Endpoints: - Big convergence -- AI, mind uploading, neuromorphic computing, biocomputing and neurotech all heading for one field. - Synthetic consciousness -- where the big convergence ends up (and the book): engineered phenomenology on a designed substrate you could gradually become, with hybrid mind uploading at its core. - Steerable phenomenology -- the stage after: once experience is carried by a designed substrate, what it's like could in principle be steered on purpose. - Phenometronics -- the control science of phenomenal state spaces, i.e. what would turn steerable phenomenology into engineering. The programme I see coming after Synconetics, and the least defined thing on this list.
