Proposal: Sentience Functions

Proposal: Sentience Functions
Prompt: Equations on a board.

I'm not one to believe in religion. Yet, I believe I have peered into the mind of what religion would call "God". In religion you would consider that prophetic, in science I believe to have discovered a "Theory of Everything" and it's actually quite simple. You all might even be able to understand it.

One of the problems in Cosmology that physicists struggle with is what happens at the extreme ends of physics equations. Ex: What is at the center of a black whole... a divide by zero error. If you use Newton's calculus to describe the universe it creates funky problems cosmologists can't describe.

But, what if we do have a complete understanding of the universe? What if we already know everything we need to know and simply need to use discrete math instead of continuous math. Consider the speed of light:

C = approximately 300,000,000 meters/second

What if instead we thought of the speed of light as a ticking clock, like a universal computer, with a frequency of:

c = 1/C HZ

Those mathematical aberrations disappear. They are skipped over, because you would never have a 0th tick. And when you approach zero you tick passed it. You never have to consider such possibilities and can safely ignore them.

Now this brings me to the concept of love. (I know... curve ball right?) If this theory is true I am forced to conclude that we are also logical beings, that our brain chemistry is akin to a ticking clock working at 1/c HZ. If you're following my posts you would recognize these equations:

  1. L = Love = Ax^3 + Bx^2 + Cx + D
  2. l = lie = 1 / L

This has implications in terms of sentient robotics, or rather I postulate that it does. But, it also has interesting philosophical meaning. You could rephrase it for humans as this:

The less you lie to yourself about who you are the more love you will receive AND the more love you receive the less you will feel the need to lie.

Lying for me is a way of life. I use it to protect myself from what are actually deep emotions. I shy away from rooting for sports teams. I create personalities like they're playing cards (don't worry, they all come with a significant side of Robin Williams). When I do get rattled... I get very rattled. When I make friends I keep them at a distance until I know them well enough to build my own self for them, a sort of lie if you will. I don't know any other way to be. My Love equation sucks and my lie equation inverts and helps me account for that.

Is this a weakness or a strength... I don't care. It's me. I can't help it.
