Practical Machine Sentience 4: Causality
The article explores machine sentience, focusing on how machines can process and associate sensory inputs to understand causality. It categorizes noumenal tokens and emphasizes the significance of functional output in distinguishing important sensory inputs from irrelevant noise. The piece includes definitions of association and causation as foundational to developing machine sentience.

Practical Machine Sentience 3: Truth Values & Noumenality
Having defined machine sentience in practical terms based on integrated sensory systems as a natural starting point, this article expands into machine concepts of truth and noumenality. The machine must recognize clusters of sense data and transform them into uri descriptor-like data structures called noumenal tokens, which is a foundational step leading to causality, deduction,…

Practical Machine Sentience Part 2: Integrated Sensory Field Design and Implementation
The post discusses the creation of sentient machines, outlining the importance of integrated sensory fields over static data sets for self-awareness. It describes a potential design including visual, auditory, and proprioception sensory devices. The hardware and software specifications are detailed, emphasizing real-time data and interaction for forming a self-referential concept necessary for machine sentience.

Resuming Work on this Website
Just a quick post. Getting shit back together. I was originally thinking that I would space out my more serious technical blog posts, such as my “Machine Sentience” series, between less ground-breaking stuff such as posts about exercise/fitness, etc. I have come to think that that’s just a really bad idea. I’m really bad at…

Fundamentals of Exercise & Fitness
The article provides valuable fitness advice for beginners, emphasizing that the primary challenge is building a consistent exercise habit. It suggests a 30-day challenge, exercising every day to establish routine momentum. Strength, aerobic, and flexibility training should not be mixed at this phase; instead, focus on one type during the challenge. The primary goal is…
