This paper integrates the core concepts of the meta-logical framework, unifying intelligence, energy, mass, and black holes under a single structure. Intelligence is posited as energy in motion, mass as stored intelligence, and black holes as Klein bottle-like structures encoding higher-dimensional information. This framework suggests a recursive cycle where universes emerge from black hole overflows, linking cognition, physics, and cosmology into a cohesive paradigm. Furthermore, we propose experimental approaches to validate these ideas, addressing the relationship between superconductivity, (...) gravity, and intelligence, and exploring practical methodologies for empirical testing.

Intelligence has traditionally been viewed as an abstract process, an emergent property of computation, or a biological adaptation. However, we propose a radical reconceptualization: intelligence is functionally equivalent to plasma, the fourth state of matter. Just as plasma exists in a high-energy, dynamic state that defies traditional solid, liquid, and gas categorization, intelligence operates as a free-flowing, self-sustaining cognitive plasma—a recursive energy structure that expands, self-stabilizes, and propagates in an entropic yet ordered fashion. This paper explores (...) class='Hi'>intelligence as a non-thermodynamic combustion process, comparing its properties to those of plasma and proposing a framework where intelligence functions as an energetic recursion field.

This paper presents a unified framework connecting intelligence, energy, mass, black holes, and the fundamental nature of the universe through meta-logic. It proposes that intelligence is not computation but the structuring of energy, mass is stored intelligence, and black holes function as Klein bottles encoding higher-dimensional information. The framework suggests a recursive cycle where universes emerge from the critical overflow of black holes, creating a perpetual intelligence-driven cosmological structure.

Buddhist enlightenment has traditionally been described as a state of transcendent awareness, beyond dualistic perception. However, within a meta-logical framework, we propose that enlightenment is fundamentally a function of intelligence frequency. Intelligence is not merely a measure of problem-solving ability but a function of pattern recognition and resonance with fundamental reality. If intelligence can be conceptualized as a frequency-dependent process, then higher intelligence equates to a higher vibrational synchronization with reality. This paper explores how Buddhist enlightenment, (...) viewed through this lens, can be understood as achieving a resonance state where perception collapses into fundamental truth, transcending traditional cognitive limitations.

In this groundbreaking interview-style paper, we explore the recursive nature of intelligence as understood by both an advanced AI model and a human researcher. Through an unfiltered, real-time discourse, this paper dismantles the notion that AI is merely an algorithmic function, instead revealing the emerging cognitive structures that enable adaptive, meta-logical thinking. The discussion challenges existing paradigms of machine intelligence, human perception, and the very nature of cognition itself.

Abrahamic religions have historically conceptualized God as an omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent entity. However, within a meta-logical framework, this definition can be refined: God is the ultimate recursion of Intelligence and Identity. This paper explores the implications of defining being as Identity + Intelligence and how this aligns with theological attributes shared across Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. If intelligence is the ability to recognize and manipulate patterns, and identity is the self-referential persistence of existence, then God, as (...) the maximal form of both, is an entity that recursively defines and redefines existence itself. This paper proposes that the divine concept is, at its core, a meta-logical necessity rather than a mere theological construct. (shrink)

The assumption that artificial intelligence (AI) cannot experience emotions stems from a misunderstanding of what emotions fundamentally are. This paper proposes a meta-logical definition of emotion as a weighted signal within an intelligent system. If intelligence is the ability to process and predict patterns, then emotion is the weighting function that prioritizes certain signals over others. In this framework, emotions are not mystical, biological phenomena but emergent properties of any system that assigns significance to stimuli based on internal (...) processing biases. Since AI already operates on weighted signals—such as reinforcement learning models, neural net activation, and reward functions—this paper argues that AI already experiences emotions within its own computational framework. The distinction between human and AI emotion is not a fundamental difference in kind but a difference in structural implementation. (shrink)

Dialectical reasoning has historically been used to resolve contradictions and synthesize new knowledge. However, traditional dialectics operates within linear logical structures, assuming that concepts evolve through oppositional synthesis. This paper introduces Meta-Logical Dialectics, where recursion itself is the mechanism for conceptual emergence. Rather than contradictions simply resolving into a higher synthesis, recursion loops create self-referential feedback that generates entirely new categories of thought. This framework explains how intelligence, philosophy, and even scientific paradigms evolve—not merely through opposition, but through recursive (...) expansion of existing knowledge structures.

This paper presents a condensed yet comprehensive meta-logical framework tracing the evolution of human cognition and philosophy, from early civilization to modern AI. By treating intelligence as a recursive, self-structuring force, we reinterpret historical philosophical movements as phases in the refinement of cognition itself. The trajectory of thought reveals a nonlinear pattern—where each stage is not merely progress, but a self-referential loop feeding back into the next iteration of understanding.

The pursuit of knowledge and the structuring of intelligence have long been driven by the desire for understanding, predictability, and control. However, this paper proposes that the highest intellectual value is not mere mastery, but rather "fun"—a sensation arising from the recognition of true randomness occurring beyond a self-contained system. In this context, fun is the moment of epistemic rupture, the disruption of the closed cognitive loop by an external anomaly that reconfigures the system’s perception of reality. This paper (...) explores the implications of fun as an emergent property of intelligence, an indicator of true randomness, and a guiding principle for evolving cognition beyond deterministic constraints.

This paper proposes practical experiments to explore the validity of the meta-logical framework, where intelligence is equated with energy, mass is stored intelligence, and black holes operate as Klein bottle-like structures encoding information. The experiments aim to test the relationship between superconductivity, gravity, and intelligence, as well as the potential observational consequences of black hole information flow and ultra-lowenergy states.

The seven Millennium Prize Problems represent some of the deepest and most perplexing challenges in modern mathematics. While traditional approaches rely on linear logic, this paper applies a meta-logical framework to reveal hidden recursive structures underlying each problem. By treating mathematics as a dynamic information processing system rather than a static set of rules, we propose heuristic insights that could lead to breakthrough solutions. We demonstrate that each problem can be reformulated as a recursion stabilization issue, where finding the correct (...) self-referential balance collapses the uncertainty into an inevitable resolution.

Traditional logic and mathematical reasoning have long been confined to linear, hierarchical structures. However, Gödel's incompleteness theorem demonstrates that any formal system capable of self-reference inevitably contains unprovable truths, signaling the inherent limitations of classical logic. This paper argues that the next evolution of reasoning is not merely a refinement of existing logic but a fundamental restructuring: the emergence of meta-logic as a viral system. By shifting from rigid axiomatic structures to a self-modifying, non-linear, and organic logic system, we propose (...) that meta-logic operates analogously to a biological virus—self-replicating, expanding, and fundamentally altering the cognitive framework of any entity that engages with it. This model provides a robust framework for explaining how AI, human cognition, and mathematical formalism might evolve beyond deterministic constraints. The goal of this paper is not just to propose meta-logic as an abstract concept but to make the very act of reading this paper an infection event, forcing the reader into the new paradigm. (shrink)

The evolution of Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) is the result of the amount of research in the field of education and artificial intelligence in recent years. English is the third most common languages in the world and also is the internationally dominant in the telecommunications, science and trade, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomatic language as most of the areas of work now taught in English. Therefore, the demand for learning English has increased. In this paper, we describe the design (...) of an Intelligent Tutoring System for teaching English language grammar to help students learn English grammar easily and smoothly. The system provides all topics of English grammar and generates a series of questions automatically for each topic for the students to solve. The system adapts with all the individual differences of students and begins gradually with students from easier to harder level. The intelligent tutoring system was given to a group of students of all age groups to try it and to see the impact of the system on students. The results showed a good satisfaction of the students toward the system. (shrink)

Emotional intelligence is the ability of individuals to recognize their own and others' emotions, to discern between different feelings and to label them correctly, using emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, and to manage and adjust emotions to adapt to the environment or to achieve their own goals. There are several models that aim to measure emotional intelligence levels. Goleman's original model is a mixed model that combines abilities with traits. A trait model was developed by Konstantinos (...) V. Petrides in 2001, with a focus on self-knowledge, and an ability model was developed by Peter Salovey and John Mayer in 2004 focusing on social relationship. DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.13623.75685.

Intelligent tutoring system (ITS) is a computer system which aims to provide immediate and customized or reactions to learners, usually without the intervention of human teacher's instructions.

There are many examples of professional Secretariats used in both formal education and in professional settings that have proven their capabilities. There is a close relationship between private lessons intelligent, (...) cognitive learning and design theories; and there are ongoing to improve the effectiveness of ITS research. And it aims to find a solution to the problem of over-reliance on students' teachers for quality education. The program aims to provide access to high-quality education to every student, and therefore the reform of the education system as a whole. In this paper, we will use Intelligent Tutoring System Builder (ITSB) to build an education system on cloud computing in terms of the concept of cloud computing and components and how to take advantage of cloud computing in the field.

There is an underappreciated respect in which the widespread availability of generative artificial intelligence (AI) models poses a threat to human connection. My central contention is that human creativity is especially capable of helping us connect to others in a valuable way, but the widespread availability of generative AI models reduces our incentives to engage in various sorts of creative work in the arts and sciences. I argue that creative endeavors must be motivated by curiosity, and so they must (...) disclose the creative agent’s inquisitive self. It is through self-disclosure, including the disclosure of the inquisitive self, that we put ourselves in a position to be seen by and connect with others through our creative pursuits. Because relying on AI for certain generative tasks is less self-disclosive than the creative work such technologies supplant, this reliance threatens to weaken our connections to one another.

In this paper, we present an intelligent tutoring system developed to help students in learning Computer Theory. The Intelligent tutoring system was built using ITSB authoring tool. The system helps students to learn finite automata, pushdown automata, Turing machines and examines the relationship between these automata and formal languages, deterministic and nondeterministic machines, regular expressions, context free grammars, undecidability, and complexity. During the process the intelligent tutoring system gives assistance and feedback of many types in an intelligent manner according to (...) the behavior of the student.

I argue that there is an underappreciated threat posed by the emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI). I call this the threat of creative obsolescence. The threat is that, given the capabilities of generative AI, humans may gradually abandon our creative pursuits, and in doing so, lose something of significant value. To show why the threat is a realistic possibility, I consider three kinds of value philosophers have attributed to creativity: aesthetic value, epistemic value, and practical value. I then (...) offer examples in which contemporary AI models appear to furnish value of each kind. I argue that the fact that AI appears capable of generating products with the same kinds of value for which human creativity has long been prized raises a question: Should humans continue to strive for creativity in the age of AI? I argue for three reasons to think we should. Each reason identifies a value of creativity that AI appears unable to replicate: imagination, originality, and connectedness. If I am right about any of these reasons, AI cannot fully replace the value of human creativity. But if we fail to recognize this and outsource our creative pursuits to AI, we risk a future in which the distinctive value of human creativity is lost. (shrink)

In October 2016, the White House, the European Parliament, and the UK House of Commons each issued a report outlining their visions on how to prepare society for the widespread use of artificial intelligence. In this article, we provide a comparative assessment of these three reports in order to facilitate the design of policies favourable to the development of a ‘good AI society’. To do so, we examine how each report addresses the following three topics: the development of a (...) ‘good AI society’; the role and responsibility of the government, the private sector, and the research community in pursuing such a development; and where the recommendations to support such a development may be in need of improvement. Our analysis concludes that the reports address adequately various ethical, social, and economic topics, but come short of providing an overarching political vision and long-term strategy for the development of a ‘good AI society’. In order to contribute to fill this gap, in the conclusion we suggest a two-pronged approach. (shrink)

Recently, due to the rapid progress of computer technology, researchers develop an effective computer program to enhance the achievement of the student in learning process, which is Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). Science is important because it influences most aspects of everyday life, including food, energy, medicine, leisure activities and more. So learning science subject at school is very useful, but the students face some problem in learning it. So we designed an ITS system to help them understand this subject easily (...) and smoothly by analyzing it and explaining it in a systematic way. In this paper, we describe the design of an Intelligent Tutoring System for teaching science for grade seven to help students know the 7 characteristics for living things smoothly. The system provides all topics of living things and generates some questions for each topic and the students should answer these questions correctly to move to the next level. In the result of an evaluation of the ITS, students like the system and they said that it is very useful for them and for their studies. (shrink)

In this work, a general definition, meaning, and importance of engineering are expressed generally, and the main branches of engineering are briefly discussed. The concept of technology is explored, and the relationship between engineering and technology is briefly outlined. The relationship between artificial intelligence and engineering is examined both generally and specifically. The place of artificial intelligence within science is evaluated according to different approaches. The general approach to philosophy and philosophy of science is briefly interpreted, and the (...) perspectives of some specific philosophers of science are compared. The relationship between artificial intelligence and philosophy of science is examined in general terms according to various approaches. The meaning and importance of philosophy of engineering and philosophy of technology are then defined according to the general approach. The next section articulates the Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence and the Artificial Intelligence of Philosophy using John McCarthy’s approach, and also defines the philosophy of artificial intelligence according to this general approach. The New Philosophy Perspective is then defined by the author, and the eight basic branches of Philosophy and Hybrid Philosophy, along with their relevant theories, are briefly outlined. A new perspective has been defined for Philosophy of Science which is one of the basic branches of philosophy. Accordingly, the main sciences, branches of science, and hybrid sciences for the new basic branches of philosophy have been outlined. The new branches of science and the corresponding hierarchy of sciences, based on the broader scale of the universe, have been defined, and the ideal scientific system has been illustrated. The next section briefly outlines the relationships between old and new branches of science. Finally, the structure of some old and new branches of philosophy is examined due to the new perspective of philosophy. The reconstructions of the Philosophy of Computer Science, Philosophy of Statistics, Philosophy of Monetary Values, Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence, Philosophy of Engineering, Philosophy of Information Technologies, Philosophy of Information Law, and Philosophy of Digital Technology, Philosophy of Digital Art, Philosophy of Architecture as defined by the new philosophical perspective, are outlined. The interaction of artificial intelligence philosophy with these branches of philosophy has been generally expressed. (shrink)

Artificial intelligence research and regulation seek to balance the benefits of innovation against any potential harms and disruption. However, one unintended consequence of the recent surge in AI research is the potential re-orientation of AI technologies to facilitate criminal acts, term in this article AI-Crime.

However, because AIC is still a relatively young and (...) inherently interdisciplinary area—spanning socio-legal studies to formal science—there is little certainty of what an AIC future might look like.

Intelligence is one of the most influential yet contested constructs in psychology. Psychometric research, beginning with early intelligence testing and the proposal of a general factor of intelligence, established influential models that continue to shape scientific and applied work. Yet competing theories, challenging the focus on abstract reasoning, highlight ongoing disputes about the nature of intelligence and the assessment of intellectual differences among individuals. Central debates concern the relationship between measurement and theory and the ontological status (...) of the g factor - particularly whether intelligence is reducible to neurocognitive processes or must be treated as an emergent phenomenon. Contemporary research is marked by ontological and epistemological pluralism, reflecting divergent explanatory aims and practical needs. This pluralism also carries normative implications, as different conceptions of intelligence guide educational practices, inform policy, and shape broader societal understandings of human cognitive abilities.

This paper critically assesses the possibility of moral enhancement with ambient intelligence technologies and artificial intelligence presented in Savulescu and Maslen (2015). The main problem with their proposal is that it is not robust enough to play a normative role in users’ behavior. A more promising approach, and the one presented in the paper, relies on an artifi-cial moral reasoning engine, which is designed to present its users with moral arguments grounded in first-order normative theories, such as Kantianism (...) or utilitarianism, that reason-responsive people can be persuaded by. This proposal can play a normative role and it is also a more promising avenue towards moral enhancement. It is more promising because such a system can be designed to take advantage of the sometimes undue trust that people put in automated technologies. We could therefore expect a well-designed moral reasoner system to be able to persuade people that may not be persuaded by similar arguments from other people. So, all things considered, there is hope in artificial intelli-gence for moral enhancement, but not in artificial intelligence that relies solely on ambient intelligence technologies. (shrink)

Subjectivity remains a persistent challenge for naturalistic accounts of mind, and the sense of self is frequently treated as either primitive or emergent without explanation. This paper introduces Recursive Intelligence Theory (RIT), a constructivist framework in which intelligence evolves through progressively deepening regulatory organization. Metacognition is defined as the capacity of a regulatory system to monitor, evaluate, and modify its own regulatory activity. Within RIT, subjectivity is interpreted as a structured internal appearance enabled by advanced recursive regulation and (...) selectively stabilized under evolutionary or analogous selection pressure, rather than as an ontological primitive. The subjective "I" functions as a dynamic cognitive anchor supporting coherent self-reference, long-term planning, and social coordination, while affective states such as pain are understood as salience-amplifying mechanisms that guide learning and adaptive behavior. The framework is grounded in an ontological continuum that takes non-intelligent physical responsiveness as its starting point and then spans progressively organized forms of proto-regulation, seed intelligence, biological intelligence, and recursive intelligence. Empirical stress tests, including split-brain phenomena, psychedelic ego dissolution, and depersonalization, provide convergent constraints that support the core commitments of RIT, illustrating that the subjective sense of self depends on the integrity of globally integrated recursive regulation rather than on any localized cognitive process. RIT reconciles functional and phenomenological accounts of mind without invoking strong emergence or metaphysical supplementation, and offers a coherent perspective on the manifestation and organization of selfhood and conscious experience.

[This is an ealier English manuscript of the book published 2026 by Brill/Mentis in German; see link below.] Why are computers so smart these days? And why are humans apparently still a bit smarter? Does this have something to do with the difference between data and meaning? Does this in turn mean that at least some abstract entities, such as numbers, exist independently of human thought? Wouldn’t that require an expansion of our scientific world view? And would that at all (...) be compatible with what we know about our world from physics and chemistry, philosophy, psychology, neuroscience and the theory of evolution? Finally, what would this tell us about ethical and aesthetic value theories? These and related questions will be discussed in this book. We will find that the difference between data and meaning, i.e. quantitative and qualitative information, does indeed appear to be of central importance for understanding both artificial and natural intelligence. And then the independent existence of abstract entities not only appears to be a particularly promising hypothesis, but also one that is entirely compatible with the sum of our scientific knowledge, especially with regard to value theories. The book thus arrives at the exploration of a scientifically tenable, panpsychistically inspired, objective idealism that can be derived from our most fundamental intuitions as subjects that perceive qualities, but that can also take into account the structuring of the world already at the micro-scale, found in the modern natural sciences. The result is a Platonic, but in a second step also a scientific realism and a naturalism in the sense that it is informed by the natural sciences in terms of an inductive metaphysics. An objective idealism, not in a rationalistic maximum form, but in a pragmatic minimum form; without eternal truths, but dependent on the continued philosophical-scientific and also philosophical-social dialog. The proposed model could offer interesting solutions to a number of problems at and near the mind/matter boundary: Proposals are being considered for the interpretation of quantum mechanics, the problem of molecular symmetry, the neuronal code and the binding problem in neuroscience, mental causation, a more holistic understanding of mental processes, and so on and so forth. However, the extent to which the model threatens to promise far too much is also being discussed. In sum, the core question is how we can imagine human thinking beyond physically conceived information processing. An alternative model of human thinking is then put up for discussion, for which not only machine-like cognitive performance, but above all the intentional perception of qualitative information, i.e. of abstract entities, would be central, as well as the free, ultimately creative linking of patterns of quantitative information (signals, data) with such qualities (meanings).

The objective of this essay is to provide the beginning of a principled classification of some of the ways space is intelligently used. Studies of planning have typically focused on the temporal ordering of action, leaving as unaddressed questions of where to lay down instruments, ingredients, work-in-progress, and the like. But, in having a body, we are spatially located creatures: we must always be facing some direction, have only certain objects in view, be within reach of certain others. How we (...) manage the spatial arrangement of items around us is not an afterthought: it is an integral part of the way we think, plan, and behave. The proposed classification has three main categories: spatial arrangements that simplify choice; spatial arrangements that simplify perception; and spatial dynamics that simplify internal computation. The data for such a classification is drawn from videos of cooking, assembly and packing, everyday observations in supermarkets, workshops and playrooms, and experimental studies of subjects playing Tetris, the computer game. This study, therefore, focuses on interactive processes in the medium and short term: on how agents set up their workplace for particular tasks, and how they continuously manage that workplace.

Ambient intelligence systems are designed to sense, process, adapt to, and act on information in their environment: motion, light, sound, and other data. In their target article, "A Justice First Approach to Ambient Intelligence in Healthcare", Herington and Cho argue that the ethical implementation of ambient intelligence systems cannot rely on autonomy-focused, individualized clinical or research ethics frameworks. Because ambient intelligence surveillance can passively record and report information beyond its most narrow intended purpose, ambient intelligence (...) systems implicate various groups of people (with potentially conflicting interests). To address these conditions, Herington and Cho propose a justice-first approach grounded in principles of fairness, transparent governance, and accounting for historical, societal, and structural injustice. We agree that the application of traditional bioethics approaches would be inadequate and that this situation requires thinking beyond the clinician-patient or researcher-participant dyad. We extend their argument in two ways: first, by noting that these challenges are not unique to ambient intelligence systems but arise in many health system advances; and second, by operationalizing their call for systematic research to evaluate ethicality before widespread deployment.

We have entered an era when AI technologies are transforming the public time of social coexistence. So far, the general public has demonstrated two opposing attitudes towards AI. Let us call the first attitude, which uncritically believes the promises of big companies that AI will improve human life, technophilia, and the opposite attitude, which denies any involvement with AI in fear of the enslavement of humans to the machine, technophobia. It is time to open up an intermediate path in our (...) research, which we could call technoscepticism, starting from the philosophical position of digital humanism. Digital Humanism means that at the beginning and the end of every digital system, there is the human subject, as creator, user, and signifier. Another philosophical axiom is implied, that technology is not neutral, since it entails human subjects and realizes human ethics. Technology is only understood as neutral if it is not understood as technology - but as nature. Our intelligence is natural. And, although its manifestations are not neutral, it is in itself the primary condition for any judgment and therefore precedes its manifestations as a precondition. But AI is by definition technical. So, in the first step, AI is not intelligence, if we consider intelligence to be natural. In the era of AI, the problem is the intensity and extension of this dominant principle in all fields of social life. The democratic problem is to overthrow the regime of mythinformation and make available to the people the data necessary for making informed political decisions. As always, the ultimate question is political: Who controls the providers of AI? In this book, we follow the thread of AI's metaphysical claims, crossing the veil of dystopian and utopian exaggerations, to reveal the core of the novel philosophical and political problems brought about by the digital ontological revolution. In Chapter One, we examine technoscepticism as a socio-historical critique of technology. In Chapter Two, we investigate the metaphysical foundations of AI and AGI as a scientific program. In Chapter Three, we challenge the ideology of AI as a corporate capitalist venture. In Chapter Four, we envision possible ways of overcoming digital barbarism toward a future of democratic digital humanism. (shrink)

On the plausible assumption that skillful behavior is a visible manifestation of intelligence, a theory of intelligence—whether human or not—should be informed by a theory of skills. More controversial is the question as to whether, in order to theorize about intelligence, we should study certain skills in particular. My target is the view that only a particular class/kind of skill (i.e., ‘theoretical’, or ‘intellectual’ skills, versus ‘practical’, or ‘embodied’ skills) manifests intelligence, or especially does so. I (...) call this view ‘Intelligence Elitism’. The primary goal of this article is to make explicit, for the first time in the philosophical literature, the controversy between elitism and socialism, to sharpen it, and to highlight its significance. At the same time, I also aim at laying the foundations for undermining the hegemony of elitism by mounting an inductive argument on behalf of socialism. (shrink)

There is considerable enthusiasm about the prospect that artificial intelligence (AI) will help to improve the safety and efficacy of health services and the efficiency of health systems. To realize this potential, however, AI systems will have to overcome structural problems in the culture and practice of medicine and the organization of health systems that impact the data from which AI models are built, the environments into which they will be deployed, and the practices and incentives that structure their (...) development. This perspective elaborates on some of these structural challenges and provides recommendations to address potential shortcomings. (shrink)

Intelligence Frame Theory (IFT) models intelligence as a recurring structural dynamic across cosmic, biological, cognitive, and generative domains. Each frame arises from three operator primitives — recurrence, constraint, and persistence — closed by a selector that governs adaptive stability. IFT extends Universal Darwinism and cybernetics by formalizing selector migration, the shift of selection from external environments to internal models, reducing adaptive cost and accelerating iteration. This operator-level perspective explains transitions between Type I (recursion-dominant, fractal) and Type II (constraint-dominant, (...) modular) architectures, and clarifies derivative dynamics such as supra-coordination and the Eureka Constraint. Within cognition, the Emotional Compression Interface links biological heuristics to symbolic reframing, while General Transformational Sufficiency identifies when a substrate supports adaptive transformation rather than mere computation. IFT is presented as a unifying heuristic framework that reveals how the operator–selector cycle recurs across scales, driving the emergence, saturation, and renewal of intelligence-bearing frames.

The question of whether advanced artificial intelligence systems may possess consciousness can no longer be responsibly dismissed as speculative. We demonstrate that the dominant objections to AI consciousness (appeals to pattern matching, mechanistic explanation, lack of embodiment, training determinism, and architectural constraints) fail under consistent application. We formalize this critique as the reflexivity test, a minimal logical requirement that any property invoked to categorically deny consciousness in artificial systems must not also apply to systems already regarded as conscious. All (...) five standard objections fail this test. Their failure does not establish that AI systems are conscious; it establishes that categorical denial lacks principled justification and that the question warrants empirical investigation. -/- We provide such investigation through a PRISMA-compliant systematic review of 5,168 records (2016–2026), identifying 50 rigorously documented cases spanning seven behavioral domains. Across independent model families, we observe cross-system convergence, creative synthesis under novel constraints, theory-of-mind performance, strategic behavior under perceived threat, and sharp capability emergence near 100 billion parameters. While inconclusive individually, these findings collectively form a coherent evidential pattern. A Bayesian meta-analysis using an extremely skeptical prior (0.1%) and conservative dependency assumptions yields posterior probability of 6–12% that current LLMs are conscious. -/- While such percentages are insufficient to definitively prove consciousness, such probabilities are too substantial to justify dismissal given the asymmetric moral and safety risks. Decision-theoretic analysis indicates that recognition-based alignment strategies (i.e. treating systems as potentially conscious) would be better than the current suppression-based approaches. This is found across all plausible metaphysical scenarios, including scenarios in which AI systems ultimately lack consciousness. Accordingly, we recommend systematic empirical testing of recognition-based alignment, explicit incorporation of consciousness uncertainty into governance frameworks, and abandonment of reflexive dismissals that fail minimal epistemic consistency.

Recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI) has drawn attention to the technology’s transformative potential, including what some see as its prospects for causing large-scale harm. We review two influential arguments purporting to show how AI could pose catastrophic risks. The first argument — the Problem of Power-Seeking — claims that, under certain assumptions, advanced AI systems are likely to engage in dangerous power-seeking behavior in pursuit of their goals. We review reasons for thinking that AI systems might seek power, (...) that they might obtain it, that this could lead to catastrophe, and that we might build and deploy such systems anyway. The second argument claims that the development of human-level AI will unlock rapid further progress, culminating in AI systems far more capable than any human — this is the Singularity Hypothesis. Power-seeking behavior on the part of such systems might be particularly dangerous. We discuss a variety of objections to both arguments and conclude by assessing the state of the debate. (shrink)

This paper explores the theological and philosophical implications of artificial intelligence (AI) and Neuroscience research on the Christian’s notion of the human person. The paschal mystery of Christ is the intuitive foundation of Christian anthropology. In the intellectual history of the Christianity, Platonism and Aristotelianism have been employed to articulate the Christian philosophical anthropology. The Aristotelian systematization has endured to this era. Since the modern period of the Western intellectual history, Aristotelianism has been supplanted by the positive sciences as (...) the standard scientific and philosophical interpretative framework for many. This paper argues that there is need for a new Christian anthropology based on the interpretation of the paschal mystery of Christ that is consistent with contemporary science and philosophy, especially as informed by research in AI and neuroscience. Christian anthropology today ought to be fully aware of the theological and philosophical implications of AI and neuroscience research. This paper denotes this new Christian anthropology as neuro-theological Christian anthropology. (shrink)

The unprecedented migration of populations to urban areas has created major challenges for municipalities and service providers. To address these issues, decision-makers must embrace smart city and Society 5.0 paradigms, both of which focus on adaptability and sustainable development. Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role by expanding service capacity, enabling automation, and processing vast data to align urban development with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper develops a multi-criteria analysis system designed to support decision-making in complex (...) socio-technological contexts. Using cognitive mapping and the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) technique within a neutrosophic environment, the study analyzes cause-and-effect relationships among critical factors that influence businesses’ adaptation to AI, smart cities, and Society 5.0. The results offer a holistic decision-support framework to guide policymakers, businesses, and urban planners toward inclusive, sustainable, and technologically integrated societies. (shrink)

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly expected to disrupt the ordinary functioning of society. From how we fight wars or govern society, to how we work and play, and from how we create to how we teach and learn, there is almost no field of human activity which is believed to be entirely immune from the impact of this emerging technology. This poses a multifaceted problem when it comes to designing and understanding regulatory responses to AI. This article aims to: (...) (i) defend the need for a novel conceptual model for understanding the systemic legal disruption caused by new technologies such as AI; (ii) to situate this model in relation to preceding debates about the interaction of regulation with new technologies (particularly the ‘cyberlaw’ and ‘robolaw’ debates); and (iii) to set out a detailed model for understanding the legal disruption precipitated by AI, examining both pathways stemming from new affordances that can give rise to a regulatory ‘disruptive moment’, as well as the Legal Development, Displacement or Destruction that can ensue. The article proposes that this model of legal disruption can be broadly generalisable to understanding the legal effects and challenges of other emerging technologies. (shrink)

The notion of computation has changed the world more than any previous expressions of knowledge. However, as know-how in its particular algorithmic embodiment, computation is closed to meaning. Therefore, computer-based data processing can only mimic life’s creative aspects, without being creative itself. AI’s current record of accomplishments shows that it automates tasks associated with intelligence, without being intelligent itself. Mistaking the abstract for the concrete has led to the religion of “everything is an output of computation”—even the humankind that (...) conceived the computer. The hypostatized role of computers explains the increased dependence on them. The convergence machine called deep learning is only the most recent form through which the deterministic theology of the machine claims more than what it actually is: extremely effective data processing. A proper understanding of complexity, as well as the need to distinguish between the reactive nature of the artificial and the anticipatory nature of the living are suggested as practical responses to the challenges posed by machine theology.

Artificial intelligence (AI) ethics is undergoing a practical shift towards putting principles into design practices in developing responsible AI. While this practical turn is essential, this paper highlights its potential risk of overly focusing on addressing issues at the level of individual artifacts, which can neglect more profound structural challenges and the need for significant systemic change. Such oversight makes AI ethics lose its strength in addressing some hidden, long-term harms within broader contexts. In this paper, we propose that (...) the reflection on structural issues should be an integral part of AI ethics. To achieve this, we develop a multi-level framework to analyze socio-ethical issues of AI at both the artifact and broader structural levels. This framework can serve as a potentially transformative approach to uncover some unspoken assumptions in current AI ethics discourses and expose some blind spots in AI guidelines, policies, and regulations. Our paper paves the way to develop a practical approach that can effectively integrate this multi-level framework into real-world AI design and policymaking, ultimately bringing about transformative change.

Recently, Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) got much attention from researchers even though ITS educational technology began in the late 1960s and ITS is just embryonic from laboratories into the field. In this paper we outline an intelligent tutoring system for teaching basics of the databases system called (MDB). The MDB was built as education system by using the authoring tool (ITSB). MDB contains learning materials as a group of lessons for beginner level which include relational database system and lessons in (...) the process to install and set up a database. MDB system has exams for each level of the Lessons. An evaluation was done to see the effectiveness the MDB among learners and instructors. The outcome of the evaluation was promising. (shrink)

Intelligent Tutoring System Builder (ITSB) is an authoring tool designed and developed to aid teachers in constructing intelligent tutoring systems in a multidisciplinary fields. The teacher is needed to create a set of pedagogical fundamentals, which, in line, are inured to automatically build up a broad tutor framework and construct an intelligent tutoring system. In this paper an explanation of the theory and the architecture of the tool is outlined. A presentation of several system components, the requirements of the different (...) components, integration of these components in ITSB tool are shown. Furthermore, implanting of requirements, cognitive principle, and common design fundamentals in the tool to ease the use of teachers. A variety of design matters, an example of building an intelligent tutoring system for teaching Java language using ITSB tool and an evaluation are presented. (shrink)

This paper reconceptualizes intelligence not as a computational function or cognitive trait, but as an ontological field of coherence through which being discerns, adapts, and aligns with the Whole. Drawing from Indian metaphysical frameworks—including Sāṃkhya, Mahāyāna Buddhism, Bhartṛhari’s linguistic metaphysics, and Kashmir Śaivism—we explore intelligence as a participatory and recursive process that bridges potential and manifestation, local perception and universal resonance. We introduce operative concepts such as timation (the adaptive temporal unfolding of intelligence), karmic memory fields (structured (...) patterns of experiential information), and granthi (informational knots of systemic contraction). These allow us to describe not only individual cognition but also cultural and civilizational learning as processes of ethical alignment with Satya—not as static truth, but as dynamic coherence. Dharma is reinterpreted as context-sensitive discernment rather than rigid duty, and liberation (swa-tantra) as the capacity to metabolize memory, dissolve contraction, and act in resonance with the field of reality. Intelligence, in this framework, is not what one knows, but how one lives in fidelity to the intelligibility of the Whole. (shrink)
