The immense sum of all these tiny influences leverages what can happen at the level of the multitude, providing remarkable flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One can see this as a fluidity between simplicity and complexity. Namely, when correctly leveraging this flexibility, new properties can emerge spontaneously (\u2018as if\u2019 this happens by itself) \u2014 including ones that haven\u2019t been put explicitly into the system. Thus, what comes out can be pretty amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Positive whirlpool<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If, one way or another, these amazing things give momentum to more complexity, we\u2019re right into a positive whirlpool, underscoring the potential for iterative, simple actions to accumulate and generate substantial, even unpredictable, outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One example is the idea of self-organizing systems in nature, where simple rules and interactions at the individual level can lead to complex and adaptive behaviors at the collective level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A related example is the natural evolution toward intelligence \u2013 including the human type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another example is LLMs evolving to even more performant LLMs (\u2018artificial\u2019 evolution).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can one see in this an underlying inclination toward growth, both in humans and artificial intelligence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A leap to quantum-like<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m far from being an expert in this field. What I am sure of is that the following sentences carry metaphorical rather than literal parallels. (The brain is no quantum computer.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, might it be that the whole universe is an embedding into\/from quantum? What we see as <a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=970\">quantum particularities<\/a> are then like subconceptual elements that \u2013 through their interplay \u2013 give rise to more conceptually graspable things (atoms, molecules, the known universe\u2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But then, something else lies on the other side of quantum as a source of information. If what comes out of it is the \u2013 more or less \u2013 familiar universe, then its information is also what is entered. Albert Einstein\u2018s \u201cGod doesn\u2019t play dice\u201d is correct, after all. What got embedded may be unfamiliar, yet it has characteristics that, through the translation, end up in what we know (although things may get lost in translation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This sparks a reflection on a core aspect of the AURELIS approach to personal development.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea that the universe, with its vast complexities, might emerge from quantum interactions parallels how complex human behaviors and thoughts can arise from the fundamental, often non-conscious, processes within us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This mirrors the AURELIS focus on accessing and influencing these subconceptual layers of the mind to effectuate profound personal growth and healing, emphasizing the depth and interconnectedness of all mind-related things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It suggests a harmonious blend of simplicity and complexity, where profound, meaningful change can emerge from the accumulation and interaction of simple elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This principle is central to the AURELIS philosophy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this, the journey towards personal growth and healing is seen as a natural, evolving process grounded in the individual\u2019s innate capacities for self-improvement and self-understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, this dynamic interplay between individual elements and the emergent whole \u2013 be it in the realm of personal growth, artificial intelligence, or the universe itself \u2013 underscores the importance of embracing complexity, engaging with our deeper selves, and fostering a holistic approach to understanding and influencing the world around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The power of embedding is the driving force.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, it\u2019s a reminder of the vast unknowns that still exist, inviting ongoing curiosity, exploration, and humility in our quest for understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compassion is the ethical stance that belongs to this.<\/p>\n<div data-object_id=\"15064\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkwrap cbxwpbkmarkwrap_no_cat cbxwpbkmarkwrap-post \"><a  data-redirect-url=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15064\"  data-display-label=\"0\" data-show-count=\"0\" data-bookmark-label=\" \"  data-bookmarked-label=\" \"  data-loggedin=\"0\" data-type=\"post\" data-object_id=\"15064\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarktrig  cbxwpbkmarktrig-button-addto\" title=\"Bookmark This\" href=\"#\"><span class=\"cbxwpbkmarktrig-label\"  style=\"display:none;\" > <\/span><\/a> <div  data-type=\"post\" data-object_id=\"15064\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguestwrap\" id=\"cbxwpbkmarkguestwrap-15064\"><div class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguest-message\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguesttrig_close\"><\/a><h3 class=\"cbxwpbookmark-title cbxwpbookmark-title-login\">Please login to bookmark<\/h3>\n\t\t<form name=\"loginform\" id=\"loginform\" action=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-login.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-username\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_login\">Username or Email Address<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"log\" id=\"user_login\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-password\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_pass\">Password<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"password\" name=\"pwd\" id=\"user_pass\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-remember\"><label><input name=\"rememberme\" type=\"checkbox\" id=\"rememberme\" value=\"forever\" \/> Remember Me<\/label><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-submit\">\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" name=\"wp-submit\" id=\"wp-submit\" class=\"button button-primary\" value=\"Log In\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"redirect_to\" value=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15064\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/form><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the power of complexity in humans and in present-day Large Language Models (the most visible form of A.I. nowadays). \u2018Embedding\u2019 is the transformation of information\/knowledge into a format of many subconceptual elements interacting in multifaceted systems that makes this information prone to emerge in novel ways.
