Bringing the Mind to Medical Science
Medical science increasingly recognizes the influence of the mind, yet still excludes it from its core scientific models. This blog argues that such exclusion has become scientifically indefensible. By taking rationality, depth, and coherence seriously together (as in Rationality (+ Depth) + Coherence = Science), the inclusion of the mind emerges not as an option, Read the full article…
Rationality (+ Depth) + Coherence = Science
Science is often equated solely with rationality. Yet the best science has always relied on more than logic and measurement. This blog explores why rationality needs depth and why both need coherence for science to remain fully scientific. Not as an alternative to science, but as its reclamation. Why this equation matters now Science enjoys Read the full article…
Where Differences between A.I. and Human get Slimmer
As artificial intelligence advances, many people feel that the distance between humans and A.I. is shrinking. This can feel inspiring and unsettling at the same time. This blog explores where that impression is accurate, and where it is not. The answer lies not on the surface, but in depth. An unsettling observation Many people sense Read the full article…
A.I. Confabulation as Coherence-Seeking
A.I. confabulation is usually treated as a flaw, a malfunction, or even a moral failure. This blog proposes a different view. What if confabulation is not the absence of intelligence, but intelligence continuing under constrained conditions? By reframing the problem, we may discover not a disease to cure, but a process to understand and guide. Read the full article…
How to Talk to Lisa
This is not about clever prompts or special tricks. It is about entering a form of dialogue that already exists in human communication. This blog explores how different ways of talking shape not only the answers you get, but also the person you become. Nothing here is new or exotic — yet much of it Read the full article…
Why Depth is Difficult
Depth attracts us, yet we often turn away from it. Not because it is unclear, but because it touches something unsettling and real. This blog explores why depth feels difficult at so many levels: personal, social, cultural, and existential. It also shows why that difficulty is changing. [Note: Many AURELIS blogs clarify why depth is Read the full article…
Dehumanization
Dehumanization rarely starts with hatred. More often, it begins quietly, when looking stops and depth withdraws. This blog explores how ordinary human mechanisms can lead to extraordinary blindness, and why moral outrage alone cannot prevent it. It also points toward a realistic way beyond dehumanization, grounded in depth, responsibility, and inner strength. Not hatred, but Read the full article…
Why People can Believe in Anything
People can believe almost anything, and often with deep sincerity. This is not necessarily a failure of intelligence or education, but a consequence of how the human mind seeks coherence. What feels like common sense from the inside may look irrational from the outside. Understanding this mechanism is crucial in a world where belief systems Read the full article…
The Opposite of Idealism?
Idealism is often attacked in the name of realism. Too often, this turns into a debate where one side claims maturity while the other is dismissed as naïve. This blog questions that opposition. It explores what idealism really means, what its true opposite is, and how realism may be something very different from what it Read the full article…
Lessons from OOA&D for present-day A.I.
Present-day A.I. is rediscovering challenges that software engineering already faced decades ago. Object-oriented analysis and design (OOA&D) offered powerful answers, yet also revealed clear limits. By revisiting these lessons with today’s understanding, we can see where the line was interrupted — and how it can be continued. This blog explores what OOA&D still teaches us, Read the full article…
From Agents to Agentic
The term ‘agent’ has become fashionable in artificial intelligence, yet its meaning often remains vague. Also, to be called ‘agentic,’ something crucial often remains missing: a sense of unity that persists beyond tasks. This blog explores the difference between having agents and being agentic, and why true progress in A.I. depends less on adding capabilities Read the full article…
The Generalization Problem in A.I.
Present-day artificial intelligence can impress, surprise, and even outperform humans in narrow domains. Yet again and again, it stumbles when circumstances broaden or change. This blog looks beyond data, scale, and algorithms. It argues that the true generalization problem in A.I. is not technical at heart, but concerns meaning, inner coherence, and depth. This blog Read the full article…
How do People Generalize?
Generalization is one of the most familiar and yet most mysterious abilities of the human mind. We do it constantly, usually without noticing: when learning language, navigating emotions, forming expectations, or making sense of life. This blog looks at how people generalize, not from a narrow technical angle, but from the inside out. It follows Read the full article…
The Worth of Wisdom
In a world overflowing with intelligence, wisdom may become the rarest and most precious human quality. This blog explores why wisdom holds a worth that cannot be copied or automated, even as super-intelligent systems reshape our understanding of knowledge. It also looks at how Lisa fits into this landscape, not as a shortcut to wisdom Read the full article…
Lisa: A Compassionate A.I. On-Ramp for Starters
Job-starters today face a new kind of beginning. The familiar early tasks that once offered guidance have largely disappeared, leaving many to step directly into complexity ― if they find a job in the first place. This blog explores how Lisa can help (re)build the mental foundations that work best when approached with openness and Read the full article…
The AURELIS Resonance
AURELIS is radically open, which means its coherence cannot come from boundaries or rules. It must arise in a different way — through resonance. This blog explores why resonance is the natural connective force in a depth-seeking project, and how it enables a free yet strong community. It also shows how resonance appears in individuals, Read the full article…
In a World without Depth
Sometimes, the best way to understand depth is to look at a world where it is missing ― not as a judgment, but as an experiment in seeing. The scenes below offer such a view. What they show is up to the reader to discern. In a world without depth,it’s difficult to grasp what depth Read the full article…
