Still preclinical, but now backed by convergent 2018→2025 evidence, PBN Y1R is the central, non-opioid switch for enduring pain. Do you understand the thesis implicit in: “Scientists Found the Potential Off Button for Stopping Chronic Pain”: Nicholas Betley from the University of Pennsylvania has discovered that a previously overlooked group of neurons in the parabrachial […]

Emotional Learning

Our learning makes our animal emotionality human. Whatever is important is only important because it’s emotionally important. Whatever is emotionally important is only emotionally important because we learned it to be. Though emotion has is own biological logic, the context it’s operating within is always learned. What we feel as emotionally important is not an

What Makes What’s Relevant Relevant

We can’t use human ways of thinking about knowing to explain AI’s process of tokening. AI’s have semantically arbitrary, mechanical rather semantic, meaning space extent limits. An AI user’s bandwidth limits (technologically or customer type) affect the “depth” of context informing the tokening. That’s what makes AIs seem so absurd – as if they are

Co-Implication: Quantum Wave Collapse, AI Token Selection, and Human Learning

1 Comment / Affect, AI, Always Learning, dAilogues, Learning /

For months I have been noticing that the images used to describe how AI works look very similar to the images used to describe quantum wave collapse.  I decided to explore the parallels in a dailogue with ChatGpt. As the dailogue progressed, it provided a unique opportunity to explore the dynamic common to both Ai Token

dAilogues: Self-Referencing Learning

1st Person Learning, Affect, Agency, Always Learning, dAilogues, Learning, Life-Learned-Human /

Self-Referencing Learning (full) with Gemini Index of other dAilogues Learning always has a reference.  No matter what the learning is about or into, at any given time, there’s some kind of background that is providing the context that learning is stretching from in order to arrive at whatever is being learned. There’s a span happening

Note: Don’t miss the Instagram video at the end of the post. If you are in a hurry start there (click here). A fascinating conversation (summarized below) led to asking whether children afflicted with facial paralysis, therefore lacking the somatic experience of facial affect display, would have unique emotional learning differences. Here is G-Ai’s (Google’s

Thinking About How Shame Works

Leave a Comment / Affect, AI, Always Learning, dAilogues, Shared Key Distinctions, Terminology Agreements /

This dailogue explores how the affect shame, the neurobiological precursor to the emotion of shame, seems to work.  Background: I am grateful to have been mentored into learning about shame by my dear friend, the epistemological philosopher and affect therapist, Gary David PhD. Gary is a proponent and practitioner of the work of the late

Inherited Learning Biases

2 Comments / 1st Person Learning, Affect, dAilogues, Learning, Life-Learned-Human, Other Words for Learning /

Gemini’s Jewels: G-Ai: We are in agreement that there are “inherited learning biases” – a category of innate predispositions that influence how we learn, process information, and respond to our environment. Inherited learning biases, to the extent that they are genetically transmitted, are subject to the same population-level diffusion and distribution effects as other genetic

Learning into Unlearned Emotion

3 Comments / Affect, AI, Artificial Learning, dAilogues /

 Gemini: Understanding the distinction between learned and unlearned emotionality holds profound implications for how we approach our inner lives and navigate our relationships with others. Here’s a breakdown of why this distinction is so valuable: Reducing Self-Blame and Internalized Shame: Recognizing that certain emotional reactions are instinctual and deeply ingrained can help us avoid falling
