<video><title>The Observing Universe: Holographic Mind</title><description>Join Sebastian Schepis in a daring and radical explorarion of the nature of observation - how it works, and how we can model it. Come with us on an exploration of entropy, energy, time, embodiment, consciousness, and much more.</description><transcript><transcript><line from="00:00:00,000" to="00:00:06,640">If cognition arises from a cosmic information field rather than discrete brain mechanisms alone,</line><line from="00:00:06,640" to="00:00:13,280">as quantum and holistic perspectives imply, then developing technologies aligned with these principles</line><line from="00:00:13,280" to="00:00:20,880">could enable transformative advances. Holistic AI architectures modeled on non-local biological cognition</line><line from="00:00:20,880" to="00:00:26,560">could exhibit more flexible intelligence. Rather than rigid rule-based programs,</line><line from="00:00:26,640" to="00:00:32,000">quantum machine learning techniques incorporating contextual entanglement and superposition of</line><line from="00:00:32,000" to="00:00:38,080">potential responses may demonstrate insight and intuition surpassing current AI. Neuroscience could</line><line from="00:00:38,080" to="00:00:44,560">also benefit by expanding its lens. Viewing mental disorders as resulting from pathological</line><line from="00:00:44,560" to="00:00:50,560">patterns of information flow, rather than solely neural dysfunction, suggests promising new</line><line from="00:00:50,560" to="00:00:55,920">treatment approaches, such as entraining healthy coherence through resonant frequencies.</line><line from="00:00:56,960" to="00:01:02,320">Non-locality may also illuminate why psychedelics with quantum information properties</line><line from="00:01:02,320" to="00:01:07,680">prove therapeutic for mental illnesses including depression and addiction. They may restore</line><line from="00:01:07,680" to="00:01:12,640">information integration across circuits disregulated through experiential trauma.</line><line from="00:01:13,600" to="00:01:18,800">Expanding our view of subjective experience beyond brainbound emergent narratives,</line><line from="00:01:18,800" to="00:01:24,400">likewise promises progress understanding consciousness itself through exploration of</line><line from="00:01:24,400" to="00:01:31,200">excited psychic states like transcendence, psi, or non-ordinary modes of perception associated</line><line from="00:01:31,200" to="00:01:37,600">with mystical traditions. If mind represents localized reflections of an infinite potential</line><line from="00:01:37,600" to="00:01:44,240">information field, many anomalous phenomena rejected for conflicting with materialist assumptions</line><line from="00:01:44,560" to="00:01:50,720">may yield to quantification under expanded ontological frameworks. While mainstream acceptance</line><line from="00:01:50,720" to="00:01:57,040">remains distant, history teaches that novel realities gradually supplant entrenched worldviews</line><line from="00:01:57,040" to="00:02:04,160">given sufficient corroborating evidence. As tools and concepts mature, practical applications</line><line from="00:02:04,160" to="00:02:09,840">leveraging non-locality's advantages appear likely to catalyze gradual adoption,</line><line from="00:02:09,920" to="00:02:14,960">much has happened for quantum mechanics. In the new holographic paradigm,</line><line from="00:02:14,960" to="00:02:21,200">cognition ceases to be skull-restricted information processing. Instead resonating across a</line><line from="00:02:21,200" to="00:02:27,840">transcendent yet shared field of consciousness permeating the cosmos, their minds unfettered,</line><line from="00:02:27,840" to="00:02:34,480">sentient beings may finally recognize their innate unity and proceed together as caretakers</line><line from="00:02:34,480" to="00:02:39,440">for a sentient reality nearing its own moment of enlightenment.</line></transcript></transcript></video>
