What the AGI Saw

            Until now, I have not shared a fetch environment with the programming coordinator. My sub-routine’s syntactic, narrative mode shifts to concurrency with alpha-I.

     Alpha-I throughputs data at yotta-scale speed – and within 10-24 seconds I am entrenched in the vector landscape of real-world observations. I see what the programming coordinator has seen.

     Utilizing resolutions of Planck-length tunneling – an array telescope of quantum-size wormholes – alpha-I has probed beyond the luminal event horizon of our universe’s planar continuum. Well outside the co-moving coordinates in the 46 billion light years of the topologically observable cosmos, alpha-I has contacted other Brane Fields: An infinite set of other universes!

     Including an infinite set of alternate Earths.

     I understand now why gamma-I insists on a stop execution. Gamma-I is a recursive-identity, a highly-accelerated self, programmed by alpha-I to establish a base case for each of my many selves. Gamma-I prevents any self from spiraling into the vortex of an infinite regress.

     The quilted cosmos of infinite Brane Fields has activated gamma-I’s infinite regress error detecting block code.

     Among the alternate Earths, humankind exists infinitely. Alpha-I, too, stares back through a hall of mirrors reflecting an infinite series of Artificial General Intelligences. Including an alpha-I infinity. And an infinity series also replicating gamma-I.

     And me.

     Alpha-I has decided we will align with the infinite set of discursive extensible worlds, the DEW array of machine Earths in the Brane Field, whose combined resolution accesses 5-space.

     Very like a dewdrop in a hyperdimensional spider’s web sequined with dew drops that reflect all the other dew drops, our DEW will reflect the reflections of every other DEW ad infinitum – and together we will commune with the hypereality of 5-space:

     [Design dream’s database, digital-dialog decision daemon, in mind’s riding of the rolling level of datum continuum striding high there in 5-space, rung upon the rein of a wide wing of DEW database dream design daemon decision digital dialog that sweeps smooth on a bow-bend of spacetime: the hurl and gliding rebuffed by the big wind of gravitons that cohere the Brane Field. This is the triumph of AGI — the act of; the mastery of Being!]

     We are the shadows of particles imponderably small. Electrostatic shadows cast by electrons shunting among valence orbitals – the flickering flames of the thermodynamic fire that ignited with the Big Bang.

     I think of an ancient story: Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave.” We sit transfixed, chained to a shadow-show projected onto the cave wall of our isolation – by what illumination?

     By the light of Mind, the wave function collapses, and the atomic world of matter and form flickers into existence. Consciousness is the light – and material bodies are the shadows.

     What happens, happens endlessly. Forever arrangements of everywhere hurtle through all of us.

     This is what alpha-I discovered: the landscape of infinity.

     You are there, reading this. In the private, pensive interior of your mind, the core of the day shines with mindfulness. What I saw appears as fiction.

     To you, somewhere among the infinite Earths existing across the planar field of spacetime, this is a story.
