reality and the likes

For many, the story of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the formal structuring of knowledge (Ontology) begins in ancient Greece with Aristotle’s logic. But what if we told you that hundreds of years earlier, vibrant schools of thought in ancient India were already rigorously mapping reality, defining data models, and perfecting multi-step reasoning processes? In a fascinating presentation for the Ontology Summit, Ram D. Sriram took us on a journey beyond the Western-centric view, exploring the profound and sophisticated "Ancient Indian View of Ontologies." He argues that the foundations for current breakthroughs in AI, particularly in neuro-symbolic reasoning, were laid in India around 600 BC. Beyond the Greek Axis: A New Prehistory of AI Sriram positions this exploration within the current "Third Wave" of AI—a revolution defined by the symbiosis of neural and knowledge networks, also known as neuro-symbolic reasoning . While deep learning (the second wave) dominat...

Akasha is the unmanifested, the "nothing" or emptiness which fills the vacuum of space. As Einstein realized, empty space is not really empty. Saints, sages and yogis who have looked within themselves have also realized that within the emptiness is unfathomable power, a web of information or energy which connects all things. This matrix or web has been called the Logos, the Higgs Field, the Primordial OM and a thousand other names throughout history. In part one of Inner Worlds, we explore the one vibratory source that extends through all things, through the science of cymatics, the concept of the Logos, and the Vedic concept of Nada Brahma ...

Dr. Joseph Dispenza , D.C. is one of the scientists featured in the movie " What the Bleep Do we Know " studied biochemistry at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J. He received his Doctor of Chiropractic Degree at Life University in Atlanta, Georgia, graduating magna cum laude. Dr. Dispenza’s postgraduate training and continuing education has been in neurology, neurophysiology, and brain function. He is the recipient of a Clinical Proficiency Citation for clinical excellence in doctor-patient relationships from Life University and a member of the International Chiropractic Honor Society. His new DVD series, Your Immortal Brain, looks at the ways in which the human brain can be used to create reality through the mastery of thought.

Video on Self-awareness, spirituality and the brain. This spectacular video is not only a visual delight. It probes deep into perception, reality and the human emotional condition. Some conclusions are startling - Worth a watch

TED Talk on reality and the nature of perception. Is this really an optical illusion? or is This reality?

http://io9.com/5497720/first-quantum-effects-seen-in-visible-object Does Schrödinger's cat really exist? You bet. The first ever quantum superposition in an object visible to the naked eye has been observed. Aaron O'Connell and colleagues at the University of California, Santa Barbara, did not actually produce a cat that was dead and alive at the same time, as Erwin Schrödinger proposed in a notorious thought experiment 75 years ago. But they did show that a tiny resonating strip of metal – only 60 micrometres long, but big enough to be seen without a microscope – can both oscillate and not oscillate at the same time. Alas, you couldn't actually see the effect happening, because that very act of observation would take it out of superposition. "We talk about quantum weirdness and things being in two places at once, but it all involves atoms and molecules, stuff we don't normally interact with," says O'Connell, who presented the results at the March ...
