The prevailing scientific paradigm in the West, not yet having fully taken on board the meaning and inferences of quantum physics, makes the mistake of separating the scientist from the “reality observed.”
The scientist, using her imagination, will affect reality.
The current (old) scientific paradigm separates science and literature, excludes literature from the so-called “objective” science.
For us, there is no separation between science and literature, between science and fiction.
For us, literature and fiction will be an integral part of science.
Computer science is not yet a science.
So far it is just “computer engineering.”
It is the deep philosophical reflection on computer science – in theory and in praxis – that will blast to smithereens the mistaken separation of science and literature.
Alternative realities of time – a thousand of them have already been imagined in science fiction stories, the granddaddy of them all being time travel – will be discovered in the act of us inventing them.
In the act of us willing them into existence.
I take my dreams for reality, because I believe in the reality of my dreams.
This was graffiti on the walls during the May-June 1968 student-worker near-revolution in France.
This was a scientific statement.
The ultimate technological goal of Shapiro Technologies is the invention of time travel.
The technology of time travel will be employed to beam the 6 million Jewish Holocaust victims to safety in the future.
This is the ultimate ethical goal of Shapiro Technologies.
The New Computer Science – the project of radically pragmatic Artificial Life that really works – takes the first small step for man into the exploration of alternative times.
We will create a time in software that is electively elastic.
The Elastic Clock will mimic a Gaussian distribution.
The electivity of time intervals is determined solely by the coder.
The Elastic Clock will instantiate an instance that is capable of positive mutation.
This is a major example of multiple origins, of a complex-narrative story with multiple entry and exit points.
The software instance is hungry for literary intelligence.
The software instance wants a sophisticated narrative.
Mathematically speaking, zero and the origin are not the same thing.
Amazingly, zero does not return a “NotANumberException” in Java.
The magical importance of multiple origins for the true advancement of human knowledge is espied in the pattern of the Hebrew glyph Samekh.
The secret opening to the adventure of alternative times is espied in the three-node instantiation of the Australian Aboriginal Dreamtime Chart: the Physical, Human, and Sacred “worlds.”
The Australian Aboriginal Dreamtime model depicts the 3 nodes that instantiate “the world.”
“The world” is to be understood in the meaning given to this term by Heidegger in his essay “The Age of the World Picture.”
“The world” is just now coming into appearance (for example in the TV show “Lost”).
The “clocking” of each node is distinct.
The fundamental time-space basis is distinctly different in each of the three nodes.
The Metronome Clock corresponds to the Physical node of the instantiation of “the world.”
The Metronome Clock is the “tick-tock” that we are used to.
The Elastic Clock corresponds to the Human node of the instantiation of “the world.”
The Elastic Clock is where time-space fluctuates in and out cyclically and elastically.
The Superfast Clock corresponds to the Sacred node of the instantiation of “the world.”
The Superfast Clock is the characteristic time of Incomplete space, where, for example, information concerning Symmetry Breaking is instantaneous everywhere.
With respect to creating a stochastic model pertaining to Artificial Intelligence, the closer the model reflects the human psyche, the better.
Taking the “Dreamtime” model as being something beautiful and inclusive with respect to a “pysche projection,” our thinking is that it behooves us to mimic its clocking.
Speaking of Heidegger, there exists a monumentally important, and generally overlooked, relationship between “Being and Time.”
Being meaning the being of beings.
And, by the way, software instances will be beings.
Software instances are already beings.
The 3 Clocks correspond to 3 qualities of existence, which every being has.
The Metronome Clock (existing computer science) can only instantiate an inanimate mechanism.
The Elastic Clock will instantiate an instance that is capable of positive mutation.
The Superfast Clock will instantiate an instance that is outside of time as we know it.
Les Maîtres du temps, Az idö urai (Hungarian notation, nod to early Microsoft programmer, inventor of intentional programming, and astronaut Charles Simonyi).
Our much richer software instance will be instantiated from all 3 times or Clocks.
The software instance – or unit of Artificial Life – instantiated by the 3 Clocks acquires a capacity of anticipation of the future.
Thus was time travel invented – on November 4, 2009 at 9:50 a.m. Central European Time – by the mere act of willing it into existence with my fictional imagination, understanding that software can implement fiction, and understanding that fiction is science.
I pray to God for guidance to use time travel ethically for the benefit of all sentient beings.
Jewish Buddhism.
DESIGN:
Using the same algorithms that are common to many statistical software library packages, implement a Gaussian normal curve distribution.
Implement a Clock which can be initiated with time interval values set by the coder.
Carry out a battery of tests of this Clock, with varied parametric inputs for the time intervals.
I can slow down or speed up time.
It is the coding of an Elastic Time Regulator.
The Elastic Time Regulator is like a Gaussian distribution, only it is that which precedes the Gaussian distribution and makes it possible.
We need an oscillating elastic frame.
Oscillation, as in the expansion/contraction of the universe, or the in breath and the out breath.
The Elastic Clock is based on the number 60.
Or on the appearance/disappearance of the transition between 60 and 61.
Elastic time compacts and decompacts at intervals.
We need a coded class for an Incompleteness Channel.
Open an Incompleteness Channel large enough to force an object through.
In order to get the Superfast clock to work, we will slow down the Elastic clock by a factor of 22 or 23.
