    You’re close enough.
    Our work largely explains all behavior from this principle – although we start a the physical level with pressure, polarity(spin), accumulation (recombination)

    PREDICT THE FUTURE?
    Hmm… just beginning to see the post 2030 world resolve a bit. So at this early date I can only see causal influences not how they might play out. I can work on this project in the background and see what I come up with over the next month or so.
    Some Thoughts
    – Start with the zero transaction cost of knowledge, and continuous lifelong custom education suited to your individual learning style.
    – The transaction cost of knowledge and the convertability of that knowledge to a frame you comprehend within the limits of your abilities will disappear and it’s the greatest cost – especially of attention and will. So, the increase in knowledge under the printing press, mass literacy, education, television, the internet, will merely increase again.
    – However, *knowledge will converge toward the non-false* while ideology or strategy will diverge toward the civilization group class and individual using that knowledge. Knowledge convergence does not me absence of interest divergence. What we see today will amplify increasingly to ‘tribes’ of various biases, interests, and identities.
    – Convergence is happening. Prior to my work were only around 1500 general principles that we know of (see Adler). In my work we have discovered that there is only evolutionary computation and ternary logic of doing so, resulting in the trifunctional logic of behavior. This means that understanding of the world at human scale is reducible to an absurdly short list of first principles,.
    – The vector is the relationship between demographic composition, economics, group strategy, and the conflict of civilizations (races) that results – that only natural law will solve, but would require the asymmetric races practice soft eugenics – which I have a hard time seeing happen.

    I should write more bullet points on the field of possibilities.

    (a) I argue (daily) that we fully understand consciousness but that philosophers are propagating the opposite because they’re too ignorant of the current science. Even within the sciences there is an emphasis on the leaves producing ignorance of trees and forest. In other words, the operational function of the nervous system, and the brain in particular, is relatively simple – it’s just massive, in parallel, and a highly competitive ‘economy’ fighting for attention.

    (b) Consciousness is incredibly simple, really. (All first principles of the universe at all scales are simple.) But it requires quite a bit of knowledge to understand. And it’s much easier if you have knowledge of neural networks, neuroscience, and demonstrated behavior down sufficiently to comprehend that simplicity.

    (c) I teach it and am producing courseware on it, so I’m relatively certain this is the case πŸ˜‰

    Seriously. It’s simple.

    Francis, there is a tediously simple principle behind the mind but it’s occurring in massively parallel competitions for the simple reason that survival from competition is the only way to ‘know’ anything with sufficient consistency and certainty to act.

    WHat you’re implying (Correctly) is that this simplicity emerges into a hierarchy of variations and those variations compete for attention. That’s true.

    So the more beneficial interpretation that you’re suggesting is that excessive reduction of neurological phenomena obscure the emergent properties that produce the resulting complexity. As such neither overgeneralize by reduction to the very first causes, or overgeneralize by generalization to the observable consequences.

    As Bryan Brey stated already.
    The First principle is continuous recursive evolutionary computation of the defeat of entropy(release of pressure) by organization, using accumulation, vibration, and spin, producing persistence in the form of that thing we call mass. All existence evolves from this one single cause.
    From this first principle we discover the ternary logic of evolutionary computation and the hierarchy of ternary logics that describe all existential phenomena in the universe.
    It really is that simple.
    You can memorize about twenty general rules of ternary logic and explain all of existence.
    Understanding grammar (speech) which also consists of continuous recursive disambiguation of experience into unambiguous references sufficient for transfer of meaning, is a bit harder, but we can teach the basics rather quickly.
    Yes it is that simple.
    Any behavior you can refer to is explicable by a hierarchy of causality using the hierarchy of first principles, all of which are mere applications of the single first principle.

    @LukeWeinhagen , thinking:
    “Need”(stimuli) results from the variation of homeostasis across the time spectrum from functional (invariant, continuous), to signal(reaction), to prediction (incentive).
    “Need”(from requirement to incentive) can be genetic and deterministic or it can be neurological and predictive.
    “Acquisition” (action) results from the spectrum of determinism(greedy) to prediction of possibilities from stimuli(efficient).
    Life acts prior to prediction.
    Life acquires regardless of and prior to homeostasis.
    Both are independent functions. Each limiting the other (efficiency).
    I use acquisition (action) instead of need (cause).
    Still thinking….

    In your example the facts didnt change, only the explanation. The implication you’re making by stating facts change is that induction is possible from facts when you later demonstrate its not.

    Instead, both possibilities were supported by the facts, yet the facts were insufficient to disambiguate the completing explanations to sufficiently provide decidability between them. As such facts dont change, and induction isn’t possible, only the falsification of alternative explanations.

    This said, yes there is a great deal of bad science, and many studies are the product of junior people publishing nonsense, vying for attention, to satisfy a job or grant related requirement – though the perception is as much a product of journalists as scientists. πŸ˜‰
