Living in an Information Reality... Real or imagined, isn't it the same?
As abstract as it may seem, even on the quantum level or computer terminology...reality is all coded information. That is the essence of the universe and all social reality. Whether we find it in elegant mathematical equations or bits of data in a sequence or spinning orbits of electrons: Electron spin is a quantum property of electrons. It is a form of angular momentum. The spin angular momentum associated with electron spin is independent of orbital angular momentum, which is associated with the electron's journey around the nucleus.
Yes, its just information coming together and not without purpose. The only reason we can recognize such 'orbital angular momentum' and agree that it is something is because it exists and it exists in the form of 'being as in streaming' information. Because of that, we are be able to understand what something is and is not and that nothing can be held together... rather that something holds all reality together just as the electron is held together in its spin and its journey. No thing is held together by nothing, something does.
In that case, what should really concern most scientists is what is the nature of reality, right? Well, that is the concern. And in that concern must be the observable condition of a fallen nature... you see, the universe is in a state of decay so is the information we have streaming in as to or what about the universe and the nature of reality? Does that have an effect on social reality? Yes, and it effects the social imagination of it.
Is there seemingly new information out there or as in new to us? It appears that way but it is not really new. We are just engaging it for the first time but that does not make it new; after all, there is nothing new under the sun. Just because things appear to us... having not seen, observed or engaged a certain thing before, does not make it new. And, we must take into consideration that our observation or engagement is subject to decay even upon our experience of something (also in a state of entropy) which seems to be 'new or different in some way'.
For example, the Bose-Eisenstein Condensate seems to new but its not. Of the five states matter can be in, the Bose-Einstein condensate is perhaps the most mysterious. Gases, liquids, solids and plasmas were all well studied for decades, if not centuries; Bose-Einstein condensates weren't created in the laboratory until the 1990s.
A Bose-Einstein condensate is a group of atoms cooled to within a hair of absolute zero. When they reach that temperature the atoms are hardly moving relative to each other; they have almost no free energy to do so. At that point, the atoms begin to clump together, and enter the same energy states. They become identical, from a physical point of view, and the whole group starts behaving as though it were a single atom.
Information reacts to temperature as it seems and so does the universe, so does life, so does social reality - the social imagination. Temperature either slows the spread of information or speeds it up changing its appearance or potential as does motion as in acceleration which too generates heat.
Temperature is a complicated catalyst for all information and that applies to all sciences; including the social sciences: demographics, social psychology, socioeconomic, and political science which study and attempt to manipulate social imagination and its behavior in order to reshape it for particular and certain potential advantages.
You see, whenever there is a 'bombardment' of certain information in the social imagination events take place. Thus, one can observe that when certain information is dispersed to target certain groups behavior, social interaction dependent upon the social imagination, things become stirred up and... well, things really heat up and the social imagination gets 'stretched' causing a change in social behavior which an become out of control or at least 'chaotic', right? Well, one could suppose that depends on who is targeting certain 'target' groups and who isthen observing the behavior and calling it out as to what seems to be really happening.
It may be that what appears as chaotic or weak or over active or inactive social behavior is the result of a kind of interfacing of misinformation resulting in a kind of misbehaving or unusual interaction. That, in fact, may or may not look like 'metaphorically speaking' either, a Bose-Einstein Condensate or a Higgs Boson event which is observed in a field, called the "Higgs Field", existing throughout space, and when excited it breaks some symmetry laws of the electroweak interaction, triggering the Higgs mechanism which therefore causes the W and Z gauge bosons of the weak force to be massive at all temperatures below an extreme high value.
Both events have temperature involvement that when applied seeks to change or unlock and or lock onto certain information in order to control it. If it looks like a Bose-Einstein Condensae, wherein a large fraction of bosons are subject to absolute zero they tend to occupy the lowest quantum state, at which point microscopic quantum phenomena, particularly wavefunction interference, become apparent macroscopically... we then get 'magic', as in presto chango, right? The social imagination reacts similarly in regards to 'temperature' (hot/cold excitement) manipulation.
All in all, the one constant in all of this is that information, even that which is subject to entropy, exists/interacts/slows/speeds up/rejoins... does not evolve, and it does not die. It looks like it changes appearance; but, only because someone or something is manipulating it. And, information can even appear to 'die' but that is impossible. It cannot and can never be extinguished into nothing.... we could never recognize it as 'no thing' because no thing does not and cannot exist in our information reality, the social imagination. Hence, information is always something... even and especially in the social imagination.
DNA is information... don't let anyone unlock/lock onto yours in order to manipulate it! There agenda may or may not be the same as yours...

Artificial intelligence in Context of Social Quantum Analysis...
According to IBM and MIT, artificial intelligence is the ability of machines to perform tasks
usually associated with human beings. It includes concepts such as
machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, natural language
processing, and visual recognition. AI uses supervised learning,
unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, and deep learning to
learn and train models with data.
Artificial intelligence (AI), is used in computer programming. Why/How? Why, because there is no other way to program and how is just a matter of the 1s and 0 commands/directives that are necessary in programming.
You see, though we call it machine learning its still the process of taking in and sharing information over time through social interaction (which for machines is the same: taking in and sharing information [what something is and is not] via programming and downloads... essentially 'shared info).
This is in fact the same for humans after all, we grow in our social awareness/social imagination and social knowledge because of 'discrimination' illustrated by deep learning, neural networks, natural language processing, and visual recognition (what something is and is not). Hence, this can only occur through the 'natural' process of information discrimination.
Humans discriminate information in terms of positive/negative, its usefulness and or successful or unsuccessful application. AI does the same because it uses human supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, and deep learning to learn and train models with data. That is exactly the point of discriminating 'one thing from another'.
And, new evidence
shows that Facebook’s algorithm, which automatically decides who is
shown an ad, carries out the same discrimination anyway, serving up ads
to over two billion users on the basis of their demographic information.
You see, Ai begins in the social imagination...and certainly that does NOT mean its better or wiser or smarter. Ai is based on/coded on the way we imagine and learn and its on steroids.
"Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened" ~ Romans 1:21.
‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’ Therefore, being offspring of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by man’s skill and imagination" ~ Acts 17:28-29.
Keep in mind, in your social imagination, that the ultimate programmer is unseen...and that applies for the Ai man creates. But, what man creates and applies does not have the goal of the Creator! Why? Because, what He has in mind for us is not what most people think... since we live in entropy our goals are biased. His goal for us is to be uploaded into a better version of what we already are ~ HIS.

That is why, AI can result in bias by
selecting for certain neutral characteristics that have a discriminatory
impact. There are very simplistic examples put out there that
show people who live closer to the office are likelier to be happy at work.
So an AI algorithm might select only resumes with certain ZIP codes that
would limit the potential commute time.
Yes, an algorithm could have a
discriminatory impact on those who do not live in any of the nearby ZIP
codes, inadvertently excluding residents of neighborhoods populated
predominantly by minorities. AI also can
result in bias when a company tries to hire workers based on the
profiles of successful employees at the company. If the majority or all
the high-performing employees who are used as examples are men, any AI
algorithm evaluating what makes a person successful might unlawfully
exclude women.

The Quantum Mind ~ Are we really what we think?
Have you ever heard of the quantum mind? There are many deep-rooted beliefs in our subconscious mind that influence our interpretation of everything that happens to us.
On the other hand, many of these beliefs are mistaken and lead to thoughts, emotions and behaviors that make up our mental blocking and suffering. Think about it. Let’s say we all have the power to transform our reality and even the power to choose what hopes we harbor. But we need to understand what the quantum mind is before we can reach that point.
All living beings and all the things that surround us – what we think reality is — is formed by atoms. Atoms which are empty in great measure. Besides, to understand what we’ll talk about below, we must keep this in mind: everything physical is not made of matter. Instead, it’s made of energetic fields or information frequency patterns.
By combining what we think and what we feel we produce a state of being which generates an electromagnetic imprint. And this imprint influences every atom in our world. The union of mind and matter is a discovery, that we cannot overlook or separate. They are intrinsically linked. Because the subjective mind produces perceptible changes in the objective physical world. Here we’re referring to a quantum mind.
Think about how, at a subatomic level, energy responds to our attention and becomes matter. If so, how would our life change if we learned to direct the “observing effect”? If we learned to collapse infinite waves of probability in the reality we desire? Would we be better observers of the life we want to live? Does this mean just your mind? No! It says... 'we', "would we be better"?
If you want to experience a better reality, then you must be in agreement with at least three things and or persons that also say this or that reality is something and it is better than something else. You cannot have it any other way. In fact, to know any reality (good, bad or ugly) you be in agreement with at least three other persons. And, its not just you agreeing this or that. Unless, you have someone that can agree with you and two isn't enough there isn't anything to agree on as better, worse, beautiful or ugly.
But, in all reality, I suppose we could make the argument that everyone you ever met and talked to is already in your head and in there you agree (Cooley). Well, guess what? That does not dismiss the spoken about agreement reality and its necessary agreement between at least three. Whether they are in your face or in your head....
Sure, you in your mind can imagine that you observe true beauty over what is truly ugly. But you do so only because you are actually agreeing with others that you have been exposed to, learned from, interacted with that say this kind of beauty is better or any other. Does that mean that someone's or anyone's idea or observation of beauty is wrong when compared to yours or that you cannot nor ever know true, as in absolute, beauty? Yes and no.
Yes, because its 'agreement' that matters and who knows if what you are agreeing on is truly, as in absolutely, beautiful or not. No, because for agreement reality even among three, there has to be a 'majority' rule agreement for any reality to exist and in your majority agreement reality, your agreeing on what is beauty absolutely comes together in agreement and its beautiful.
And, who knows, you can always agree that the best is yet to come. And, certainly you could transgress and start accepting whatever beauty comes along as the next true beauty. How is that a transgression? It means that if you have failed to agree that once something is agreed upon as truly beautiful, the wave function collapsed, and that it can never happen again (this agreement) in the same manner... you have transgressed. However, if in your agreement of what is true beauty you also agree that it is absolutely beautiful and always will be ... you will find truth in the beauty of today as it is (by agreement) the same today, yesterday and tomorrow.
"Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation" ~ Romans 12:16. “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ" ~ 1 COR 2:16. "The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace" ~ Romans 8:6.
"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.”~ 2 COR 6:14-16.
"Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control" ~ 1 COR 7:5.
"For there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water, and the blood— and these three are in agreement. Even if we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony that God has given about His Son" ~ 1 John 5:7-9. We will enter into an agreement with you on one condition only: that you become like us ~ Genesis 34:15.
*God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow ~ Hebrews 13:8.

Agreement Reality is a necessary constant in the Social Quantum...
Agreement
reality is not just thinking something is real because someone told you
so... Its arrived at perception of a thing through social interaction
(social dynamics of give and take) and that leads us to agreement (man
is inclined toward resolve by nature of the entropic universe) and it
becomes 'real' to us. The process is much deeper and wide spreading over
time. Keep in mind, once agreement happens, its form is subject to
decay. Only a constant agreement process keeps reality going. Its a
necessary constant in the social imagination. How/why?
Agreement
reality has its thread of dissemination via communication always starts
the same way for every living creature including mankind and that is
with the very first immediate social contact; with
mother. Her social information package and sense of security and or
stability
in society matters a great deal. The kind of information she imparts
tells you (provides
you with information) about the basic construct into which you were
born.
That
information contains good, bad and ugly information because this world is in a
state of entropy. Every mother has embedded in her such information. That is
why/how the information you get becomes information that you necessarily trust or
distrust and accept as true or not. If a
baby senses it can’t trust its mother for safety, warmth, love and nourishment
as a basic truth… it will take that distrust or lack of positive sustaining
information (untruth) with it and use it as a baseline in society; unless, of
course, other information ‘truth’ is interjected and overcomes the lack of
positive information issued earlier.
Now, what is truth? The first truth is our humanity, a
created being. How
was our birth
possible, how were you created? In the ‘more’ traditional or natural
biological
way, it means that a ‘baby’ child is the result of copulation between a
male
and female. Thus, this in itself becomes a basic truth of our being, as
in the
very foundation of our human existence. This is understood as a
complementing union ... one that produces fruit. It is not a union of
conflicting protocol or conflicting intercourse that produces no good
thing in and of itself.
The second truth is found and crystallized in shared
and or learned information in a place over time. Now, the more we regard shared/learned information as
‘the truth’ is due to the fact that appears to be if not the most then
certainly more positive and sustaining us in the place where we are. That is
why no culture will ever disagree with such information...like the sun is a star and it sustains life
on earth.
We
'socially' imagine that we have an idea of some kind of truths in
our lives, acquired through information given us (by ‘mother/father’ -
parents)
or shared and learned in a place over time as having positive benefits
and or sustainability. Thus, they become both real for us. And, though
we have a few things worldwide that everyone can agree on, we are still
not fully in
agreement. For not all truths appear the same to everyone.
Yet, what we can all agree on the sun being a
star because its is at least one truly apparent truth in any place. And,
the only other truth that is equal to that is that we live in an
entropic universe.
Therefore, no matter who you are and are not, not all information
you receive at the beginning nor throughout your life is always or in anyway
100% free of decay …as in mis/disinformation. Even that which we call ‘science’ or
evidence that something exists as it was or is… means only that a group of people
somewhere or everywhere agreed that it is and it is just this – information that
has a certain amount of realness about it having been experienced positively
and continuously… sustaining us and life around us as we think/imagine it is
which is all piled into agreement reality.
Now,
why is that men strive to find or have as in
possess truth or a quality of realness in their lives? Why do they
strive to agree on
anything and or fight to get people to agree with them? Those are good
questions. Oddly, I don’t find too many people talking about that in
sociology or psychology. There is more talk about gender identity. But,
there is more interesting discussion about
agreement reality and truth within computer programming and especially
when it
pertains to Ai.
Does such discussion lean toward the idea that we ‘mankind’ are some kind of
organic computing entity, designed to be in agreement with each other so that
the program does not succumb to total corruption ‘takeover’ and or chaos? It
seems that way, doesn't it?
Would it be necessary for the designed computing entity ‘mankind’ to recognize an upgrade if interjected in order that it has a means of escape through a default mode or the ability to accept the authority of the upgrade in order to override total disagreement as in total chaos? Perhaps, we should even say 'resurrected' from disagreement/chaos upon accepting the saving ‘compatibility’ upgrade as the one and only original default mode directive/command?
Would it be necessary for the designed computing entity ‘mankind’ to recognize an upgrade if interjected in order that it has a means of escape through a default mode or the ability to accept the authority of the upgrade in order to override total disagreement as in total chaos? Perhaps, we should even say 'resurrected' from disagreement/chaos upon accepting the saving ‘compatibility’ upgrade as the one and only original default mode directive/command?
I think so… give the command to save me! "Be my rock of
refuge, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock
and my fortress" ~ Psalm 71:3.

Can we control reality just by perceiving it?
Some people would like to think so... maybe, because they imagine they can. And here, lies the problem... they maybe forgetting that we live in a 'social reality'. One that does not exist unless we agree that it does. That happens through social interaction. While that much is true, there is yet a necessary 'reality' as in an already existing basic construct that we cannot change.
But first, let us delve into the terms perception of social reality and the social imagination which are not opposing. Its not hard to imagine that research regarding the concept of social reality perception was at the foundation of 20th century social scientific research, and there is no indication of a decline in academic interest in this topic in the 21st century. Importantly, this topic has drawn together researchers from across the core social sciences, including psychology, sociology, communication, and political science. Why is that?
Its because of the ongoing debate about social reality. Many argue this - aren't we an evidenced based reality? No. What is evidence anyway? Evidence is corroboration which means having the ability to compare information provided by two separate sources and find similarities between them. Finding corroboration between sources strengthens your conclusions, especially when you are making a historical argument. To me, that sounds like agreement reality.
Isn't the sun a star; isn't there plenty of evidence for that? The sun is a star because we say it is... and yes, there is plenty of evidence for that; especially when you consider what evidence is... just stated above. So, am I saying that nothing is real until we observe it? Well, in quantum physics that is the case.
Werner Heisenberg, among others, interpreted the mathematics to mean that reality doesn’t exist until observed. “The idea of an objective real world whose smallest parts exist objectively in the same sense as stones or trees exist, independently of whether or not we observe them ... is impossible,” he wrote. John Wheeler, too, used a variant of the double-slit experiment to argue that “no elementary quantum phenomenon is a phenomenon until it is a registered (‘observed,’ ‘indelibly recorded’) phenomenon.”
There are plenty of quantum theories and experiments out there about this in context of light particle behavior. But, in all cases, it comes down to the same truth... we cannot escape observation of the event and what it means to us plays into the whole scheme. It's meaning that we are truly after when you think about it. This is what the social imagination craves. That is why, we find many arguments concerning the nature of reality and its description.
If nothing else, these experiments are showing that we cannot yet make any claims about the nature of reality, even if the claims are well-motivated mathematically or philosophically. And given that neuroscientists and philosophers of mind don’t agree on the nature of consciousness, claims that it collapses wave functions are premature at best and misleading and wrong at worst.
Now, if we can agree on that much... we are doing ok. Why should I think that's ok? Well, in sociology, interactionism which happens to be my forte, is a theoretical perspective that derives social processes (the social imagination) from human interaction. It is the study of how individuals shape society and are shaped by society through meaning that arises in interactions.
Given that, I can also tell you that no one person could exist whatsoever, I mean literally; let alone exist on his/her own if there were no construct to interact with (basic landscape).... let alone the lack of any other person or concept of another person. The one example that illustrates this for the laymen is the film - Castaway with Tom Hanks.
Bottom line is this folks, the only evidence we have for our existence is what we agree on is real to us and for us... that later here implies 'meaning' and even that changes based on 'place' as in basic landscape construct. Which brings us to the always greater question... who made that for us to agree on is real and for us to exist in 'meaning'. Who made the construct and gave us a social imagination?
For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts.…Romans 1:19-21.
He holds all things together ~ Colossians 1:17. And, we cannot change that. For, He is the way, the truth and the life! Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me ~ John 14:6.

Ai, Bots and the Social Quantum Imagination...
The following first six paragraphs are an excerpt from an online article published in March 2017 by SCIENCENODE.
Milena Tsvetkova, a sociologist, at the London School of Economics and Political Science is primarily interested in human interaction: with other humans or with computers. “I was initially resistant to the thought that computer programs could show interesting social behavior,” says Tsvetkova. “But the data proved me wrong!”
The number of bots in online systems is increasing quickly. They’re currently used to collect information, moderate forums, generate content, and provide customer service, as well as disseminate spam and spread fake news. “Even if bots are not designed to interact, they find themselves in systems with other bots and interaction is inevitable,” says Tsvetkova.
The researchers found that the same handful of bots are responsible for most of the ‘arguments’ with other bots. Conflicts between bots tend to occur at a slower rate and over a longer period than conflicts between human editors.
“Interaction leads to unexpected results, even when we design for it,” says Tsvetkova. “Bots' presence in and influence on our lives will be increasing, and if we want to understand society, we need to understand how we interact with these artificial agents too.”
Much of the scientific and popular discussion about artificial intelligence has been about psychology ...whether AI is able to think or feel the way we do, says Tsvetkova. “But now it’s time to discuss how artificial agents are expected to interact with us.”
When studying human-human interaction, social scientists often model individuals as ‘bots’ that follow simple rules when they meet other agents. These modeled interactions can lead to complex patterns at the group level, patterns that none of the individuals intended.
Its not that bots are so different from us socially... so, we are finding that out. Mmm, the question to consider is that dangerous or not. Well, conflicts exist among humans and now we are finding out they exist among bots.
Could we see a war between machines? That would be something right out of the movie "The Matrix", wouldn't it? Well, that's exactly what is concluded at the end of the article put out by SCIENCENODE - See online source below.
We all like to think, largely from watching science fiction movies, that all AI technology will be benevolent i.e. caring and compassionate. But, that is not true as the article posits and I concur. The main reason is that we are in a fallen world. What does that mean? It means that this 'world' was/is corrupted. Its entropic.
The definition of entropic is having a tendency to change from a state of order to a state of disorder. And, the entropy of the universe is increasing. Therefore, in the future it will be higher, and in the past it was lower by definition.
We see this truth even by observing humanity, its very concept found in the social imagination. Today, we no longer want to recognize that genders were solid and stable as in good for society; now, there are over 50 different kinds. We see national boundaries as once having meaning, cultural data as something unique occurring only in a certain place and something to be study and protected.
Today, we see ideas such as freedom, justice, wisdom and respect being twisted. The titles bestowed upon people of position such as 'president' or 'pope' for example reflect this. Parents were once a man and woman living together, raising their children, teaching them the basics of life ... and it was called common sense.
We are definitely moving from a state of order to a state of disorder in the social imagination. But, that just my educated opinion in my entropic social imagination; and likely the state of the social life, the social imagination, of a bot... lest I say more.
