Detailing a Pilot Study: The "Code of Reality" Protocol, A Phenomenon of N,N-DMT Induced States of Consciousness

Danny Goler — Wed, 15 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0300

This article reports on the discovery of a recurring visual phenomenon observed by individuals under the influence of exogenous N,N- Dimethyltryptamine (N,N- DMT) when observing a diffracted light pattern generated by a collimated 650 nm laser. Using a structured protocol, a pilot study revealed consistent descriptions of coherent geometric structures and symbols resembling "code." This report shares the protocol employed to make this discovery, outlines the experimental setup, and discusses potential implications for understanding altered states of consciousness. The findings offer valuable insights into the neural, psychological, and cognitive mechanisms underlying altered states of consciousness.

On the Second Law of Infodynamics from Cosmological Thermodynamics

Melvin Vopson — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0300

This communication article was stimulated by the author's private discussions in relation to his recent publication of the second law of infodynamics. These valid observations deserved a response, which is the objective of this article. In particular, the derivation of the second law of infodynamics from cosmological thermodynamic considerations appears to have a point of weakness that requires further discussion, as detailed in this article.

2024: A Year of Quantum Progress

2024 has proven to be a significant year for a number of scientific and technological advancements. In this News and Views article we review briefly some of the relevant developments in the field of information, quantum computation, AI, biology and evolutionary sciences.

A Unified Model of Natural Evolution and the Crises in Particle Physics and Cosmology

Pronab Chowdhury — Wed, 15 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0300

A unified model of the evolution of the universe is presented. The model consists of four stages: Planckian, Einsteinian, Darwinian, and Intellectual. The evolution of the universe is described as a single flow of information processing that begins at the Planckian stage and continues into the emergence of the most complex information processor: the human brain and the technologically developed human civilization. Each stage has its own structural and functional unit, carriers of evolutionary information, and driving evolving objects. The Planckian stage is described as a system of quantum-mechanically entangled PlanckITs: an entity that represents existence in a randomized space and randomized time. The space-time continuum is presented as a collection of addressable PlanckYTEs. APlanckYTE contains a fixed number of PlanckITs. In the Einsteinian
stage, the leptons and quarks of the latest appeared generation carry the information that define the conditions for the transition to the Darwinian stage. Leptons and quarks code a set of parameters that define the conditions for the origin of life and its subsequent evolution. The following expression: M_E = (9ℏc³)/(2αGkT_E) is one of the results that supports this fact. The Darwinian stage describes biological evolution. The intellectual stage uses the concepts of life symmetry and intellectual fields to describes the intellectual or cultural evolution of social systems. This paper is the first of three papers: ”A Unified Model of Natural Evolution and the Crises in Particle Physics and Cosmology”; ”Space and Time at Planck’s Scale, Carriers of the Evolutionary Information, and the Evolution of the Universe”; ”Evolutionary Anthropodynamics: The Evolution of Intellectual Systems”. Some calculations are done to support the unified model of natural evolution.

On the "Assembly Theory and its Relationship with Computational Complexity"

Szymon Łukaszyk — Wed, 08 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0300

The study provides an alternative definition of the assembly space as an acyclic, 2-in-regular digraph of strings provided with an edge labeling map that preserves the commutativity of an assembly step but defines the order of concatenation of strings in this step. Remarkably, the uniqueness of each vertex is the sufficient criterion to establish if an assembly step is allowed and to introduce the notion of an assembly pool: unit-length strings cannot be assembled from shorter strings and, hence, are inaccessible, forming the initial assembly pool, and strings present in the assembly space can not be assembled again, possibly using different pathways, as they would not be unique. What is allowed is the evolution of assembly pathways to make them shorter. We also comment on certain results of [ARXIV.2406.12176], showing that the Assembly Steps Problem, not the Assembly Index Problem, has been proved in the referenced study to be NP-complete.
