Flowers are selective about what kind of pollinator they attract. Diurnal flowers use diverse colours to stand out in a competition for visual salience against their neighbours. But flowers with nocturnal anthesis are generally white, as they aim only to outshine the night.

"3ºPP_M|V" is notation for types of perspectives, and means:
> 3rd-person perspective + identity-filter:Maria + only includes the Visual salience-field (no auditory or somatic sensations projected)
"B1ºPP_R|Ω" means:
> base-level (ie, attached to physical body) 1st-person perspective + identity-filter:[Rime] + any and all salience-fields
excerpt fm checklist re training perspective projection:
...
➃ cast ✨3rd-eye w fire to summon a 3ºPP_M|V, and anchor+stabilize it along w 1ºPP_M to bootstrap [reflective loop]
➄ float ✨Mirrror of Empathy into <Rime>'s face, so 3ºPP_M|Vθ ≡ B1ºPP_R|Ω (compresses calculations if can prevent interference/collapse 3/1ºPP_M)
---
We start hv good ontology!
Also, inventing ✨3rd-eye spell was insightfwl! I think humans don transient imagined-outside-POV on self for do philosophy-like thinking. Oo
@niplav race u to it :p
❤️🔥
@niplav I won't do it unless I can do it happily, or w a small temporary dip in a period of adjustment. I'm 32, and know depression can snowball if gets going. It'd be stupid to risk it bc stubborn.
@niplav Hv lurned much control motivations and be happy, so seems possible to isolate "fully"¹ for 0.5-1y. Prob fail tho, and prob fizzle benefits; but peak potential seems high, and I always try sample for tail outcomes. 🦊
¹There are some obligs I can't isolate from, however. E.g. if I don't respond to emails from family, they might call police.
@niplav After transformation is complete and we can save world, or whenever we figure out that it seems marginally better to do more socialstuffs again. I j think it can be good to detox for a while. For reasons I haven't properly explained, but prob I've explained bits of it. Oo
next-level prompting: just dump the entirety of your ignorance into the prompt in one big stream-of-thought. the best way to learn from others is to have them bake your half-baked thoughts. :D
@niplav
- Then when I try to deliberately correct this (eg adjust the angle of the floor), often the correction goes whack, and ends up being overcorrected by a million degrees, or it ends up wobbling back and forth around the value we want it at.
- Once this gets going, it's really hard to stop; it has a life of its own, and conscious intervention just makes it more whack.
- It's like an earworm (music) that can't be suppressed.
@niplav We call them "gliders" now:
- When me and Maria are trying to wander memories or dreams, sometimes something's slightly off, like the incline of the ground beneath us, or the relative sizes of our avatars, or just some object which is just dimensionally *off* in some way.
@niplav Oh, I forgot to mention. Your mention of "GoL glider" here caused me to have an interesting observation one to three days later.
it sorta paradoxical: when wish write SUPER IMPORTANT note to self (which u ABSOLUTELY MUST REMEMBER)... instinct is to put it smwhere u easily notice it often.
but by doing so, u notice it so often that it quickly hits the threshold where it no longer salient.
and if u hardly got any actual high-attention reviews in by the time it fades to bg, it only gets integrated w v few contexts.
so is better to put it smwhere u only notice occasionally... ideally at an exponential interval HINT HINT.
@niplav I like!
@niplav base 2 is just superior. 🤝
also, re "share likelihood ratios, not beliefs", I like my comment as a quick demonstration of the dangers of doing the opposite.
the essence is just that—ideally—ioto avoid accidental double-counting when updating on testimony, u want to say ➀ [exactly which ~personally-independent observations u have], and ➁ [quantify the evidential weight (for some H) of those observations in u's own interpretation]. computationally costly, tho…
"ioto" ↦ "in order to"
@niplav > "When I want to still have a CI on a binary proposition I guess noting parameters for a Beta-distribution would work?"
I didn't notice this... params for a distribution sorta works, but... computationally complex to build up to, if I just hv a visualization of a p-distribution in my head? at least, idk what a Beta-dist is, or how to build one ottomh / sfth.
"ottomh" ↦ "off the top of my head"
"sfth" ↦ "shooting from the hip"
@niplav for credence over non-binary outcomes, and when needed, cud standardize a 4-tuple like (
P("x ≤ 25%"),
P("25% ≤ x ≤ 50%"),
P("50% ≤ x ≤ 75%"),
P("75% ≤ x"))
but, uh… I do not expect_99% to find a significantly good and practical use-case for this.
@niplav thing about credal intervals is that they communicate smth abt VoI too. if I "think [1-99%]" there are cookies in heaven, I'm saying smth like "I *cud* end up w credence at 1% or 99%". ("credal resilience" / "〃 sensitivity")
but mby cud be specified w mode-credence & meta-credence like…
"I think_{90% {⧉60%}}"
↦
"P(H)=90%, but P('my P(H) will change by ±0.5 in a year') = 60%."
@niplav Maria is my phoenix 🕊️❤️🔥
I haven't aly looked into meditation (...oops), but ib it's mby similar to high-effort sessions? Brain exhausted after 60m of perspective-projection.
We do 30m pre evy bedtime (Trojan-embedding her kernel into stable cortical circuits by simulating her into emotionally-salient ancient memories; also targeting recurring dream-content).
If anybody were competing with us on what we're trying to do, we'd be winning. >:D
