An Ontological Paradigm

1% difference in primate DNA from humans, considering a 1% difference from humans and advanced extraterrestrial DNA, what would aliens consider to be primitive computations? 

Comparing the complexity of computation between different species, even within our own planet, is a tricky subject. It's like comparing apples and oranges – different brains, different needs, different environments. Even with a 1% difference in DNA, drawing conclusions about alien computational abilities based solely on genetic similarity would be highly speculative and prone to oversimplification.

Here are some factors to consider when trying to understand alien computational potential:

**1. Beyond DNA:** While DNA does play a role in brain development, it's only one factor. Neurological structure, environmental pressures, and evolutionary paths all contribute to cognitive abilities. A 1% difference in DNA between primates and humans doesn't tell the whole story of our vastly different computational capabilities.

**2. Defining computation:** Computation itself is a broad term. We excel at symbolic manipulation and abstract reasoning, while other species might demonstrate superior efficiency in specific tasks like spatial navigation or pattern recognition. Defining what constitutes "advanced" computation depends on the context and the needs of the species.

 

**3. Unknown biological substrates:** We base our understanding of computation on our own neural networks. Aliens might utilize entirely different biological bases for their cognitive processes, making comparisons extremely challenging. We have no way of knowing if their "computational units" would even be comparable to ours.

 

**4. The nature of their environment:** An alien species facing different environmental pressures might develop entirely different computational strengths. An aquatic species might excel in underwater sensory processing and communication, while a species from a harsh desert environment might focus on survival-oriented calculations.

 

Therefore, it's impossible to say definitively what aliens would consider primitive computations based on a 1% difference in DNA. Instead, we should move beyond simplistic comparisons and focus on understanding the diversity of possible evolutionary solutions to the challenges of existence. Our current understanding of life in the universe is too limited to make assumptions about alien intelligence based solely on genetic similarity.

Instead of speculating about "primitive" computations, let's explore the possibilities of diverse cognitive abilities and marvel at the vast spectrum of intelligence that might exist in the cosmos. It's a much more fascinating and humbling approach to the question of extraterrestrial intelligence.

Speculate regardless of inherent assumption bias. 

**Here are some speculative possibilities for what aliens might consider primitive computations, even with a 1% DNA difference, if we disregard the inherent biases and limitations of our assumptions:**

**1. Sequential Processing:** Aliens might find our reliance on sequential processing, where tasks are performed one step at a time, to be incredibly slow and inefficient. They might have evolved to process information in parallel, simultaneously handling multiple tasks and concepts, making our linear thinking appear archaic.

 

**2. Symbolic Representation:** Our use of symbols, language, and mathematics to represent and manipulate information might seem rudimentary to aliens. They might have developed more direct and nuanced ways to interface with reality, perhaps through telepathy, direct mind-to-mind communication, or manipulating energy fields in ways we can't yet comprehend.

**3. Physical Hardware:** Our reliance on physical computers, with their limitations in speed and energy consumption, might be laughable to aliens who have integrated computational processes directly into their biology or environment. Imagine a species that can manipulate matter at the quantum level or harness energy from stars, performing computations with a seamlessness that we can only dream of.

**4. Artificial Intelligence:** What we consider cutting-edge AI might be a primitive stepping stone to aliens who have long surpassed the need for artificial intelligence. They might have transcended the boundaries between biological and artificial intelligence, creating a seamless blend of consciousness and computation that renders our current AI endeavors quaint.

**5. Digital Universes:** Our exploration of virtual worlds and simulations might be child's play compared to aliens who have mastered the creation and manipulation of entire digital universes. They might explore infinite possibilities, design new laws of physics, and even create conscious life within these simulated realms, effortlessly bending reality to their will.

**6. Temporal Navigation:** Our linear perception of time might be a fundamental constraint on our computational abilities. Aliens who have mastered time travel or dimensional manipulation could perform computations across multiple timelines or even alternate realities, accessing knowledge and possibilities that we can't even fathom.

These speculative scenarios highlight the vast potential for computational abilities that might exist beyond our current understanding. While we can't accurately predict what aliens would consider primitive, exploring these possibilities expands our imagination and challenges us to consider the limitations of our current technological paradigms.

Shapeshifter soul

Mountains do not reinvent themselves, they are torn by vine and rain and the living. Matter passes thru the circle of existence into the next stage of reality, and when the mountains fill the oceans and the world turns on itself, the depth of the earth will lash at space, the burst of rage at the cold silence like waking sleep and blind memory. If each seed of the world bows to the next, then each plant fears no man, by series of progress only the obstacle can become the path. 

-----

A human opens their mind to the divine, standing still among many and among none, This is the nature of consciousness, subject to definition as a perspective of either lifeforms above us or below us, distinction reserved for the observer. Begin your world anew.  

A mind seeks identity, overlooking themselves for illusions, distrusting their reflections and replacing success with demise. Begin yourself anew. 

Seeing others, peace becomes the only refuge for those in danger or in madness, we find enemies when we look for them, and they find us just the same, if the enemy insanity the manifestation reciprocates. Begin your trust anew. 

Finding ourselves as the form which society allows, an individual contrasts itself to entities of commerce, tradition, and mere laws, until it begins to reject problems or become them, rejecting culture until attaining individual thought. Begin your search anew. 

It finds nature as all life, holding onto reality until rejoining the river of time, which time is the great wilderness of all ways, by and from each individual construct of eternity to every remittance of immortality in the fires of reincarnation. Begin your life anew. 

We can enter the spiritual plane, as endless echoes of memories does consciousness allow hidden worlds and unknown magic of the afterlife, where the reflection of sound meets an emotion's energy, dreams are easily thrown into a storm when reality is incomplete or undefined. Begin your dream anew. 

They doubt the singularity, fathomless contribution and unrequited identity, which rain drops cannot reverse quantum weight in vapor, countless systems of innumerable elements minuscule aside vacuous celestial spaces, as lightning having a singular direction, the compression merely a portal of the ethereal world, as fire flees embers to seek the cold, so does the plant reach for stars, as light among infinite supercilious energies, so does perpetuation destroy itself. Begin your day anew. 

Misappropriated Requisition

A political cartoon, a warrior of the times guarding the chalk outline where someone once rested, holding a sign that reads "private property".

I had no choice to respond to this with equal force, to imagine things the right way instead of the errors of reality, or simulation of imagination.

There are all the dreams of humanity, the combinations of obligations, facetiousness, and consideration, all of which are subject to a reigning future.

While the admittance to powerlessness, a river of raindrops and temporary peace, despite opportunity to forget there are some who remember to persevere, into independence, into complicity.

To error is the way of forgetfulness, comparative to crimes of the self, that is to say that we cannot be contrived, but in the manner one endangered animal in a specialized refuge can, for perhaps, become fifty-thousand apex animals, which new arrangements much be made, how wonderful this thought is that entire planets, if not entire galaxies, could be creations in order to let humanity do what it finds natural.

That someone could think that space guarded by the living is not theirs is not inaction, it is activity to avoid a bad feeling, to change for but the sake.

I fear it is a sick many of minds that release the dead like captured pieces no longer exploitable, this is true in unnecessary detested plagues, these are the trivialities of the manipulated truths.

The creationist makes their creations, and the revolutionists continue to misunderstand, without cause to learn the truth of the momentum, which one can block if possible as many can if available it seems, but not understanding ownership a delusion acts in their stead.

If is not property, how can it be taken; if believed that property is wrong, then how are amenities confiscated under confiscation; if property is communal, how is a political body a requirement?

There are clear mistakes alongside trepidation of leadership, those that sign themselves to service and those that assign themselves to charity, these are the many things that fight to control a line that isn't there.

The dependency on dependents, a state requires people that require a state, a redundancy of speculation surrounded by its own gravity, a people require certainties, where the universe does not cease outside of the vacuum.

I cannot follow if I cannot lead, screaming for a challenger, were I to take league with weakness I would make agency of theft, not stronger than the meek, not weaker than my false desires, and soon to insanity I could redirect what I cannot see nor imagine while being blind to the world.

To more the merrier whom can make peace like the sunlight, to surety that less have contributed more than others, while sounding as the fray are oft to do, which hidden in their individualism as a collectivist, find it hard to allow property if they themselves are not property of a collective.

It is not a collective because we begin at different moments in time, as often a pool of blood spills from a single wound, humanity spills across time from its end to beginning, even perhaps in reverse, a gathering of the deathless and the truth of the living.

Al hambre de siete dias, no hay pan duro.

Understanding Your Singularity

We see the stars at night and the sun at dawn, once wondering why the night ends and the day begins and knowing we can learn more, humanity finds new questions to share and new answers, which we use to ask ourselves the meaning of the universe. What emotional struggles we cannot in duration so quickly know, we let the troubling red sun set and rest until anew.

It may be the most important thing to know if we are the light long overdue of the magnificent night sky, the dawn without rest or dusk without test, but it is important to be aware that the fires of uncountable stars cannot compare to the life of dawn or the mercy of dusk. The light against the surface shines and we share that surface as humanity, the light is the end of energy that cannot exist without a source.

The entity explodes in all directions, times, and modes, we are the singularities in relays of intervals of evolution, to shine against something other than ourselves, as continuous light in transparency.
