So... the Little Wiggles need the help of a Little Munchy Guy to solve the problem of how have better boundaries. And this is why we don't all have to play the same way and if your friends want to play a way you don't want to, that's ok

Also, the fitness function of the genetic algorithm based solver is the product of transmission probabilities across all constraints — which is e^{−Σκᵢdᵢ}, the total cost across all barriers. Same function applied to the high school exam scheduler I wrote in high school for math class. And a cell. And a star.

Boundaries, not just for when our friends don't want to play the way we want to

The little wiggle :: A self-perpetuating boundary that maintains itself by oscillating: queue builds, leak crosses, boundary reshapes, queue builds again. It wiggles. It's little. It's fun at parties I'm sure

In #autopoiesis, the self-forming of a barrier between the #system & the outside world is required. This model has been expanded into other areas outside of Life. Technically, this requirement is a #Universal: to exist, there must be a clear demarcation between the object & "not-the-object."

Ingarden here tries to describe esp. a 'general structure'[formale Aufbau] of say every day macroscopic 'objects of discourse', anticipating them terminologically as "zeitbestimmte, individuelle, seinsautonome Gegenstände" [time-qualified, individual, autonomously existing objects]. And in the light of rather 90 years of "analytical philosophy" later
[ having sharpened our reservations wrt say "Seinsbestimmungen"]
this verbal packaging seems, as said above, unfortunate. But what (from my p.o.v.) Ingarden wants to draw attention to, is kind of an #ontological #generalization of what nowadays in #philbio is habitually discussed under the heading of #homeostatic systems/processes/objects.

What if a key feature of your mind—like your inability to visualize—wasn’t a random glitch, but a signature? Not a bug, but an autograph?

Why I Had to Call It “The Zero Point of Narcissism” To understand the “Zero Point,” you must first understand the edifice it confronts. Kohut’s framework is elegant and powerful. It explains so much about our lifelong hunger for validation, our crushing experiences of narcissistic injury, and our fragile self-esteem. #Amirroring #Aphantasia #DevelopmentalPsychology #Consciousness #Autopoiesis #ZeroPointOfNarcissism https://cristinagherghel.substack.com/p/why-i-had-to-call-it-the-zero-point

What if a foundational piece of developmental psychology is based on a blind spot?
For decades, the field has operated on a core, unchallenged axiom: that every human self is built through the mirror of another's gaze and emotion. But what happens when that mirror is absent from the very beginning—not broken, but never held up? #Amirroring #Aphantasia #DevelopmentalPsychology #Consciousness #Autopoiesis #ZeroPointOfNarcissism https://zenodo.org/records/17857386
The Zero Point of Narcissism: On the Conditional Nature of Panmodal Aphantasia as an Autopoietic Outcome of Amirroring

The infant does not seek reflection. The capacity to seek reflection—and the subsequent feeling of its lack—is a psychobiological program installed only after reflection itself has been provided. Teleology is nurture, not nature.  This research paper presents a fundamental expansion of developmental psychology by defining and mapping a previously unrecognized trajectory of human consciousness: the Autopoietic Pathway. It introduces Amirroring—the absolute, null provision of social-emotional mirroring during the critical prenatal-to-age-two window—as a discrete developmental condition. The work provides a new taxonomy of relational input (Mirroring, Distorted Mirroring, Anti-Mirroring, Amirroring) to formally distinguish this state from trauma, neglect, or distortion. The paper details the autopoietic algorithm of development in the absence of relational data, leading to the Non-Instantiation of the Freudian Ego. It establishes Panmodal Aphantasia—the systemic absence of voluntary mental imagery across all sensory modalities—not as a random neurological trait but as a Third Etiological Category: a developmentally conditional outcome. This finding challenges the congenital/acquired binary in current aphantasia research. The architectural result is the Un-Buffered Self: a consciousness characterized by direct reality-testing, integrity-based moral reasoning, an immunity to learned helplessness, and a Zero Point of Narcissism. By critiquing the field’s Adultomorphic Bias, this work maps a coherent non-mirrored neurodevelopmental trajectory with profound implications for theory of mind, attachment theory, and neurodiversity. The model warns of clinical iatrogenesis when standard therapeutic frameworks, built on the mirroring axiom, are applied to this population. Ultimately, this is not a theory of trauma, deficit, or adaptation. It is an Ontology of Creation—a formal account of a different human genesis, built in the absolute, generative absence of the reflective Other. Nota Bene This work builds upon the foundation laid in the author's previous thesis, which first defined Panmodal Aphantasia: Aphantasia Is Not an Advantage in Long-Term Abuse: On the Trauma of Fleshbacks and the Myth of Coping and Defense Mechanisms

🤖 The future of #AI – Evolutionary approaches for #intelligentSystems 🌱

What will the next generation of #artificialintelligence look like?

According to #WolfSinger, one of Germany's leading #neuroscientists, advances in AI will soon have to be guided by #evolution itself.
