• 01:32, 15 July 2024 Akshayjha talk contribs created page On Artificial Intelligence (Created page with " Dharma tells us that the homo sapien birth is a privileged one, for among all extant discrete life-simulations (species) on the planet, only the homo sapien possesses the mirror-gaze of ātman. It is only in the human form that a conscious being may comprehend ultimate and fundamental reality, and thus only in the human form could it plausibly transcend it.

In an unimaginably fleeting moment of time, space mushroomed out. Combinations of quarks and bosons permuted themselves into protons, neutrons and electrons. Time was still an infant, but in its infancy arose rules to govern interactions between these newborn entities. Nuclear forces strong and weak, to bind together particles infinitesimally small.

Ṛta is derived from this by affixation or pratyaya- ṛ+kta (ऋ + क्त). This pratyaya denotes a sense of the passive past tense. Ṛta thus means “was put into motion” or “has been done,” (where done refers to the action denoted by the verb, in this case movement/motion.) Not only is this cosmogony at play, it is the birth of the...") Tag: Visual edit

They act upon us even without our knowledge or conscious perception, and it can be said that they contain the ‘metadata’ to reality.

They are aspects of ṛta encoded in aphorisms or principles in concise, computational forms. Using sūtras we can generate objects- or ontical forms- representing the same truth a given sūtra contains.

This is why Dharma is qualified as Sanātana, and why ancient ṛṣis spoke of the greats before them, forming a line that went back to the very origin of consciousness and Mind- to Brahmā.

The affixation of -man to √bṛh and √at to make brahman and ātman respectively may be an uncanny phonetic coincidence, but brahman and ātman mean the ‘expansion of Mind’ and ‘descent of Mind’ just the same. It is Mind that expands and pervades the universe, which we call brahmāṇḍa for this reason. And it is this pervading Mind that descends into matter, where it creates the experienc...")

While complex thought on this planet is indeed a human phenomenon developed through social contact, nearly every animal is capable of at least certain rudimentary emotions and intelligence in line with evolution.
