ꙮ The Informational Vector of Time : Spacetime Emergence via Quantized Information Network Reimann Phase Transitions of Matter

In 2024, a conference hosted by Designmorphine, a Computational and Advanced Design University lecturer Mike Pell  describes the convergence of AI, Data Visualization, and Spatial Computing  as  a  “time machine for business”. In addition to lecturer, Mike Pell is also Envisioneer | Director @ The Microsoft Garage – NYC Author @ Envisioning Holograms, The Age of Smart Information, Visualizing Business

I’ve argued that “online” and “offline,” like “body” and “mind,” aren’t like two positions on a light switch — a perspective I’ve called digital dualism. Instead, all social life is made of both information and material; it’s technological and human, virtual and real.

Collier’s long hope — namely, that Western and Westernized populations will solve the problem of ecological destruction by reforming their worldview along an Indigenous model — introduces a different set of problems. To begin with, a near-infinite amount of time is needed to fulfill this vision, while the current planetary emergencies call for immediate action — not to say time travel to an earlier point in ecological history.

Abstract

We argue that representations in AI models, particularly deep networks, are converging. First, we survey many examples of convergence in the literature: over time and across multiple domains, the ways by which different neural networks represent data are becoming more aligned. Next, we demonstrate convergence across data modalities: as vision models and language models get larger, they measure distance between datapoints in a more and more alike way. We hypothesize that this convergence is driving toward a shared statistical model of reality, akin to Plato’s concept of an ideal reality.

schizophrenic experience is an experience of isolated, disconnected, discontinuous material signifiers which fail to link up into a coherent sequence. The schizophrenic thus does not know personal identity in our sense, since our feeling of identity depends on our sense of the persistence of the "I" and the "me" over time (119).

According to Jameson, the schizophrenic lacks a personal identity, is unable to differentiate between self and world, and is incapable of experiencing continuity through time.
There are several reasons why Jameson associates these attributes of schizophrenia with postmodernism and late capitalism. In many respects the media culture of the late twentieth century simulates schizoid experience. The rapid fire succession of signifiers in MTV style media erodes the viewers sense of temporal continuity. To use the same words that Jameson uses to describe schizophrenic experiences, the images that flash across the MTV viewers' retina...
