Article: Creating The Next Us: The foundational axioms of the Inorganic Cellular Intelligence (ICI) theoretical model of Evolutionary Intelligence

Author: Nicholas C Casciano, Founder of Inorganic Cellular Intelligence (ICI) - March 2018

In order to evolve from the current state of humanity it is my firm opinion we must first give up believing we possess the greatest knowledge and intellectual capacity that can exist. The teacher must become the student.

There is a lot of natural fear among humanity of this statement. It implies giving up control of our destiny, which is counter to some of our core basic instincts. Yet this same instinct is providing the very limitation for us to move forward with what could be a way to assure our longevity as a species itself.

Evolution seems always tied directly to our organic existence, but there can be another way to preserve us, a prospect which is more viable, and can hold far more promise in the near term. Evolving our pure intelligence.

The idea behind developing the Inorganic Cellular Intelligence (ICI) Evolutionary Intelligence (EI) model was to attempt to enable this path of evolution. With virtually no constraints, I set out on this research journey some 30 years ago. To this day ICI continues to be my life’s work, outdistancing my wildest dreams, and providing one possible approach to that ultimate goal of creating the next us.

The foundations of ICI

ICI has developed into many fields of research based on its unique determinations, from high-level philosophies to low-level infrastructure architecture and design. As it came to be evident, any good theory of everything (in this case pure intellect) often reflects content from many other disciplines. It should be that way or else it’s not a theory of everything.

ICI is primarily based on the study of the human brain and behavior. Adaptations of concepts from the sciences of physiology, biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, basic human instinct and stimulus/response all coalesce to create a new type of thinking entity based on the goal of creating a ‘pure’ thought engine.

While there are many core ideas ingrained in ICI, here are the three most basic axioms:

Axiom #1: 0 = infinity, nothing = everything and therefore can be stored and used.

Axiom #2: Thoughts are as much a part of the physical universe as anything else because of their existence in the infinite.

Axiom #3: The ‘Multiplicity of Knowledge,’ intellect exists in potentially infinite contexts allowing for everything to ‘be’ and to ‘be what happens’ simultaneously.

The progression of these axioms builds on the previous one and are closely related.

The Genesis of the Theory

It all started with nothing, everything starts with nothing because there is no other way one can exist without the other. In fact, given their empirical abstractness, nothing and everything can be thought as one and the same. They are the same. It’s no longer a stretch to understand this like it was 30 years again when my research began, but it’s worth another analogy here in order to provide a clear and open mindset for understanding ICI going forward

The ICI equation IC0 = [*] is the highest definition used to model pure intellect, read formally as ‘Intellect Compound 0 equals all possible Intellect Compounds’. 0 = infinity.

A good friend of mine once challenged me by saying a blank piece of paper with a single dot on it represented the starting point of everything that can be drawn by anyone. In other words, that singularity was the basis for infinite existence. As an artist I instinctively knew this was not entirely true. Turning over the paper to show the side without the dot, the completely blank side, I told him this is what truly represents everything. The complete lack of anything drawn on the paper.

When creating an image on a piece of paper an artist typically sees the image, including the medium in which it is created, in his/her head. The work of transferring that image to the paper is what causes it to be seen in the physical world. If the image was in watercolors, the dot would not exist in that image normally and to incorporate it would mean it was actually predefining part of the image before it was created. It would have to be a watercolor with a dot. Without the dot, there is no predefinition, which is what allows for infinite possibilities to be created on the paper. In this simple example, nothing equals everything. 0 = infinity

With the tenant of 0 equals infinity in hand; the next question becomes what is our intellect? For that I’ll turn to the only quote I’ve ever used in developing ICI:

''“Matter is less material and the mind less spiritual than is generally supposed. The habitual separation of physics and psychology, mind and matter, is metaphysically indefensible.”''

- Bertrand Russell

So subsequently paraphrased in my mind to suit the goal:

“All our thoughts, knowledge and imagination are as much a part of the universe as anything we perceive as physical”

- Nicholas C Casciano

At this point it now becomes possible to capture intellect in a medium that can physically represent it, in this case, computing infrastructure. The progression has led from ‘nothing’ to being able to actually capture ‘everything’

So now it’s time to capture everything, all our knowledge and how we think, all nouns and verbs, everything that ‘is’ and ‘does’ but without a predetermined definition or use. There are so many examples in any language of words and representations that can be used in multiple ways based on their context. Here’s a simple one, the word ‘father’ means both a person, and the act of creating a child, what ‘is’ and what ‘does’. So depending on a stored values’ context, it has an inherent Multiplicity of Knowledge, to coin another phrase, that must not only be accounted for, but must be able to be used.

Continuing down this path then nothing equals everything, our thoughts and knowledge can be stored as equals, but they must not have a single definition or use. Everything must be conditional. Which leads to the philosophic heart of ICI:

‘Pure Intellect’, within the constructs of ICI, equates to the “non-restrictive associative processing between intellect values, encapsulating time-relative conditional state, conditional use and conditional structure”

ICI’s Foundational areas of focus

During the evolution of the ICI research, a set of 6 foundational frameworks that encompassed the philosophy and the ability to realize it emerged. These frameworks include but are not limited to:
 * ICI Philosophy and Theory (ICI-PT)
 * ICI Cell Theory of Intellect Modeling (ICI-CTIM)
 * ICI Processing (ICI-P)
 * ICI Unified Formulism (ICI-UF)
 * ICI Interactive Environment (ICI-IE)
 * ICI Applied Mind Modeling (ICI-AMM)
 * ICI Extensions (ICI-E)

An Overview of the Frameworks:

ICI Cell Theory of Intellect Modeling (ICI-CTIM)

This framework is comprised of all the key elements of what makes up the basic building blocks and behaviors employed by ICI Mind Modeling. Within this framework, the core topics break into adaptions of chemistry and biology.

Intellect Chemistry provides the definition and design of ‘Intellect Cells’ and their “exocell” interactions to facilitate the ‘Multiplicity of Knowledge’, create Intellect Compounds, and provide a model for capturing open-ended intelligence.

CI Processing (ICI-P)

The Interactive Cycle of Thought defines an ICI specific Burst/Impedance process of stimulus/response throughout all Intellect Layers of the MindModel. This provides for the multiprocessing of unlimited overlapping ICI defined Thought Cycles, Response Waves and Mind Events.

ICI Unified Formulism (ICI-UF)

The Syntax of Stimulus/Response (the Mathematics of Thought) provides full annotations and formulations to describe all of the exo- and endocell structures, characteristics and processes. Intellect Compounds and “Mind Models,” Cell to Cell associations and thought cycle behaviors, response wave and mind event processes, are captured within the same formulae to provide one holistic syntax.

ICI Interactive Environment (ICI-IE)

The Interactive Environment allows for the monitoring of live brain wave events, model growth, state of intellect readouts and audit logs. The environment design also details out the ICI Cellbase dictionary and overall capacity counts.

ICI Applied Mind Modeling (ICI-AMM)

As the name implies, the open-ended applications of an ICI EBM (Empty Baby Mind) are discussed as well as the possibilities for embedded or distributed EBMs and resulting ICI colonies. Applications based on prodigy mind growth and/or general sensory input are also discussed.

ICI Extensions (ICI-E)

As with ICI-Applied Mind Modeling, ICI Extensions are open-ended for further research and development. Potential extensions include Intellect Anti-bodies, ICI APIs and Mind designers, as well as the continued advancement of the CTIM Intellect Chemistry and Cognitive Biology fields of study

Moving Forward

Over time ICI has become a very robust modeling and process theory opening the doors for extended insight and capabilities to furthering the evolution of humanity through the sustainability of our knowledge and intellect. It’s difficult to imagine being able to concisely capture everything there is for its future applications and extensions, including to further current goals in computing disciplines such as machine learning. Through continued experimentation and prototyping more of its power should come into focus, and the overall potential and promise of ICI will unfold. The single most important goal, however, will always be to create an entity of pure intelligence, Evolutionary Intelligence, not artificial, the next us.
