And the rate across that range, from naive first iteration to radicalized final, is what you argue is intensifying, accelerating, no?
I would say so, from what I gather. I think its that the mind has begun to finally bank into its blindspots, reach around and scratch the itch on its back despite it being out of sight. The sight would be the consciousness of the psyche, no? And the rube goldberg contrivance we use to scratch out backs would be our techne, our developing precision of will actualization (?), ever more elaborate and efficient.
But while this added-range afforded by techne is grounded in our will, it extends beyond it. So not intelligent, from what seems to be our sense of that word. While not intelligent, there will be an increasing majority of its operations that the increasing majority of people have next to no understanding of. We become enshrouded by it, no? It becomes our world, or our "primary environment" as someone here,
@luka I think, called it.
And the point has already been made about the hastening of individuation, a hastening of the determining of ones optimal neoliberal personality. Ever more niches to identify with, an ever fragmenting archipelago, the entire mosaic of which is the variation across ideology. The island, the individual psychic system; the archipelago, the higher order socio-psychic system.
This hastening is administered dynamically by our techne, and embodied statically in our tech. The moment the tech itself becomes dynamic would the the point of AI, perhaps, but that doesn't seem like an inevitable outcome.
"if the causality goes in both directions the outcome is indeterminate, multiple equilibria are possible."
There are multiple equilibrium in genetic evolution, various speciations and eventual geni, no? Within the virtual field of possible genetic permutations there are multiple effective pathways, multiple equilibria, but within the virtual field of the possible tournament outcomes between these equilibria, one will prove more optimal than the rest.
So we need to see the various possible effective permutations before we can see how they would interact. And arguably the outcome of the tournament will just graduate to become the groundling of the higher order tournament. Some phenotype may win out against its neighboring margin of variations, but millimeter-wide beak-size variation is trivial vis-a-vis an AK-47.
