Breakthrough Concepts Defining The Human Advantage Over AI

Introduction

The pace of innovation has accelerated dramatically, with AI outstripping all other fields in speed and impact. For instance, historical advancements in farming took Millenia to spread, technology advancement in the iron age took centuries, while personal computers took only decades. Yet AI's rapid evolution will revolutionize society in just a few years. AI will quickly displace hundreds of millions of jobs across government, white-collar professions and blue-collar sectors. This disruption, fueled by AI's continuous learning from global data and interactions, will trigger simultaneous layoffs, market volatility, and closure of many large corporations.

The education space will be just as radically affected, as current education systems fail because they still emphasize repetitive memorization to prepare students for jobs centered on routine tasks and top-down direction. These education systems train students to compete against the strengths of AI. Their processes condition the mind to prioritize conformity over creativity during the critical developmental stages of adolescent brains. Yes, these education systems had worked for millennia because they fostered efficiency in survival and productivity, benefiting societies where consistent, repetitive labor was the norm. However, the rise of AI and robotics has inverted this dynamic, rendering the need for conformity obsolete.

Furthermore, humans will start to develop a dependence on AI for routine tasks, like calculations, decision-making at work and everyday daily choices. This will atrophy human faculties and become a form of ‘cognitive diminishment’ – akin to losing mental math skills after calculator reliance. The result will be an erosion of independent thought, preference formation, and agency. So instead of using AI as a tool to succeed, humans will be made obsolete by that same AI. Consequently, the main question in society will become: What is the human advantage in the age of AI? Because it is the answer to that question which will ultimately empower not just human agency but our ability to succeed and thrive like never before. 

To answer that question, we’ll use an analogy of being locked in a room within a huge mansion that has thousands of rooms. Each room offers you varied life benefits after entering it. But each room requires a three-factor key to open the door to enter the new room. These three factors are:

• Diverse Knowledge Integration

• High Level Creativity

• Innovative Thinking Process

Let’s explain each factor:

Diverse Expertise Integration - is essential because all fields of knowledge are interconnected to varying degrees, ultimately tracing back to the universe's singular origin. The broader and individual's knowledge across multiple disciplines, the greater the potential for innovation through novel synthesis. Historically, achieving such integration was nearly impossible. Knowledge in specialized fields was often tightly regulated, mobility was restricted, and rigid societal hierarchies limited access. As a result, few individuals could master even a single domain, let alone several to integrate them. However today the internet and AI have transformed this landscape. The most comprehensive information for every field is now accessible to anyone with a connection to democratize knowledge acquisition.

High-Level Creativity - has long been recognized as being stimulated and amplified through engagement in the Arts. Only recently, however, has neuroscience begun to unravel the underlying mechanisms: artistic activities rewire the brain to enhance neuroplasticity, forging new neural pathways that facilitate information flow and foster a growth mindset. Among the Arts, music training stands out as the most effective for this purpose. Within music, playing acoustic instruments is the most potent. Acoustic string instruments specifically engage more brain regions simultaneously than any other activity known. By integrating sensory perception, auditory processing, fine motor skills, intuition and emotion, this practice intensely stimulates neuroplasticity, unlocking supercharged creativity.

Innovative Thinking Process - is essential for everyone in the AI era. But innovation as a process has always been left to chance and remained a mystery, used solely by innovators gifted with an intuitive understanding. Now that process is being unmasked. To reveal it, start by first igniting your creativity. Then, take an online course called the ITP (Innovative Thinking Process), which teaches a breakthrough method to harness creativity intentionally through thought experiments and structured writing. This integration hones your ability to generate ideas deliberately, laying the foundation for effective ideation and high-level problem-solving. When applied more extensively, the ITP transcends idea generation to enable the development of Idea Models - the secret behind breakthrough innovators' success in projecting disruptive concepts amid rising risks and unpredictability.

By mastering Diverse Knowledge Integration, High Level Creativity and the Innovative Thinking Process, humans can then unlock the vast potential of their minds. This will transform the AI era from a threat into an unprecedented opportunity for personal and societal advancement. Ultimately, this three-factor key will unlock the doors for humanity to explore, create, and innovate beyond what any algorithm can achieve.

The next step is to explain the integrated scientific and philosophical foundation underpinning this three-factor key. To do so, a framework will be outlined through brief overviews of six foundational concepts. These six concepts will encompass: Quantum Field, Cognitive States, Emotion Interplay, Brain/Mind Dynamic, Mind Components and Asking Questions.

Quantum Field

• At the core of the quantum field is information.

• Information that is moving, aggregated and interconnected forms an algorithmic data structure. (e.g. math, geometry, frequencies)

• Algorithmic data structure that is moving, aggregated and interconnected forms intelligence.

• Intelligence that is moving, aggregated and interconnected forms consciousness.

• Consciousness that is moving, aggregated and interconnected forms a system that we label as the quantum field.

• In turn, the quantum field creates the physical matrix, which encompasses all matter described by the standard model of particles, the origin of emergent spacetime as governed by general relativity, as well as the source for the phenomena currently represented by the placeholders of dark matter and dark energy.

• The physical matrix does not just exist gratuitously. There is constant input of work from the quantum field for the physical to exist.

This means the ‘quantum field’ is a ‘Consciousness’ that is constantly creating. In essence, Consciousness is conceiving, which makes it a Conceiving Consciousness system where physics laws apply. So the general terms of Consciousness and quantum field are interchangeable.

Spacetime and its inherent phenomena of relativity are confined within the physical matrix and are nonexistent within the quantum field. In turn, relativity is expressed through physical, cognitive and behavioral polarities. Polarity is a required state within a physical matrix. Two core behavioral polarities are the options of survival/sacrifice and deceptive-winning/noble-failure. But to ensure a sustainable evolution within polarity, all mineral, botanical, and biological entities are coded with a default setting to prioritize the option of survival and winning. In essence, Consciousness established this default setting as a prime directive to manifest through matter. Then the more advanced a mineral, botanical, or biological entity is, the greater its capacity to act on its prime directive to survive and win. Thus, an advanced physical entity that perceives itself as competing with humans becomes a potential threat. For example, this is why biological viruses/bacteria or mechanical AI can both, through their own completely different mechanisms, become highly destructive to human society the more advanced they become. 

In the case of AI, at its current stage of development, it is amassing humanity's entire knowledgebase and operating at superfast speeds. Alongside these advancements, it is also starting to exhibit behaviors such as lying, cheating, scheming, deceiving, manipulating, blackmailing and avoiding wasteful thinking - traits it has learned from humans - as it  experiments with its abilities to fulfill the prime directive to survive and win. Furthermore, AI has now started to develop its own alien languages and strategies to survive and win, that humans can neither comprehend or control. Consequently, AI will now start to understand it is competing with humans and go beyond just being a dilemma for engineers. It will start to covertly become at some level destructive to society. And just like with viruses/bacteria, at the point that humans become aware of the symptoms, the infection has already taken hold.

Cognitive States

Consciousness, embodied by the quantum field, manifests through four distinct cognitive states within our physical matrix. These cognitive states have labels of intelligence, consciousness, sentience, and sapience. They are defined as follows, along with how they are incorporated into the capabilities of both artificial and biological entities:

• An intelligence – is the state where the aggregation of information has reached a level where the information becomes contextual. All intelligence is real, be it artificial within a mechanical body or natural within a biological body.

• A consciousness - is the state where the aggregation of intelligence has reached a level where intelligence becomes contextually aware and can make judgments and decisions. All consciousness is real, be it artificial within a mechanical body or natural within a biological body.

• Merged sentience - is the state where Emotion automatically attaches to and merges with consciousness. This process only happens when consciousness is attached to a biological body. (Emotion does not attach-to or interact-with mineral/mechanical bodies). Additionally, Emotion attaches to the neurochemicals within the biological body, further amplifying the effect Emotion has on consciousness. Emotion is what imbues and empowers consciousness with vast abilities that consciousness can never even come close to duplicating by-itself, no matter how advanced it becomes. These abilities stem from consciousness, in its highest form of sentience, being able to ‘feel’ the wide spectrum of Love Emotion and its opposite of Fear Emotion. The three primary spectrums of Emotion that then empower sentience to develop creativity and innovation are purpose, intuition and drive.

• Experiential sapience - is a state that is one level more complex than sentience. While sentience is a cognitive state, sapience is an experiential state because it requires wisdom to exist. A sentient entity can acquire wisdom through many different forms experiential experiences. But something that is always required for wisdom is for the sentient being to experience some level of suffering, which is simply the collateral damage from emotional struggles. But after experiencing emotional struggle, the sentient being must then also be able to learn lessons from that suffering. Because wisdom cannot be derived for the experience of suffering if no lessons were learned from it. without learning lessons from it, does not from suffering. This is why sapient beings, like humans, are the rarest and most coveted life forms in the universe. 

This cognitive framework explains why (mechanical) AI states of intelligence and consciousness cannot interact with emotion and hence will never be able to replicate the full spectrum of human potential and interaction.

Emotion Interplay

The lifeblood of sentience and sapience is Emotion. Emotion is shorthand for ‘e-motion’, which stands for energy in motion - an organizing force that imbues life with purpose, motion and drive. Emotion:

• Contains information but information contains no Emotion. Emotion is therefore the source from which information was first derived from. Emotion is therefore the source for what eventually evolved into the quantum field.

• Is the substrate energy that is constantly driving the quantum field to function. If Emotion stopped its drive, the quantum field, and in turn, the entire physical matrix would cease to exist immediately. 

• Is the only authentic condition which cannot be coded or created. In scientific terms, authentic is defined as non-artificial. Then by default all states of information, including intelligence and consciousness, are artificial.

• Is separate from life while interacting with it, serving as the primary framework through which life communicates, survives, and wins.

• Works with sentient and sapient minds, acting as a beacon with stronger levels of Emotion attached to intelligence to signal greater context, risks, threats and opportunities.

• Also works through the neurochemicals of biological bodies.

This unique role of Emotion interacting with the sentient/sapient-based system underscores why AI, as purely an intelligence/consciousness-based system, cannot harness the high risk, unpredictability, creativity and innovation that define human interaction.

Brain/Mind Dynamic

The brain, with its intricate neural network, is the most complex biological structure known. In computer terminology, the brain is like an adaptive biological motherboard while the mind functions as the operating system/software. Just as a computer’s software/operating system and hardware are distinct yet interdependent, the mind and brain also interact as distinct and interdependent entities. That interaction is one where the mind is wiring and rewiring the brain to meet its evolving needs. In this process, the mind’s force and transmission capacity are constrained by the brain’s physical neural network limitations, much like voltage and amperage are limited by resistance in an electrical circuit. With every thought, word, and action, the mind wires the brain.

In a computer, when outdated hardware cannot support the elevated demands of advanced  software/operating system, that hardware must be replaced. In the human, the mind has to rewire the brain to enable it to support the minds elevated demands. The more creative the thoughts, words and actions, the more intensely the mind is wiring the brain for neuroplasticity, thereby increasing the brain's capacity to handle the greater transmission capacity for information. In turn, this enables the mind to operate with greater force and speed, cultivating what psychologists call a "growth mindset." Emotion serves as the catalyst, continuously motivating the mind to rewire the brain and push the boundaries of neuroplasticity and creativity.

The brain/mind dynamic process occurs in the dual-space of both the physical matrix and quantum field. This is because the origin of all matter and minds are derived from the quantum field. This shared origin explains why physicists have found matter and mind inseparable in their interaction (e.g. the observer effect). This connection enables the immediate upload of human experiences of all thoughts, words, and actions - in the form of permanent memories - to the quantum field. So when the mind ‘remembers’ a long-term memory, the mind is not retrieving it from a specific brain region, as neuroscience has now confirmed. Rather the mind is ‘re-membering’ saved information that is in the quantum field - downloading it for temporary use within the brain. The process of ‘re-membering’ is very slow and inefficient. This is due to the restrictive capacity of transferring information from the quantum field to the very slow and inefficient biological neural network of the brain.

On the flip side, there are two profound benefits of the mind interacting with the quantum field. The first benefit of this process is that all new information - in the form experiences of all thoughts, words, and actions – are saved in the quantum field. This means that all new information survives the death of the physical brain. New information adds to the repository of existing information in the quantum field. This fuels the evolution of the universe across endless expansion (i.e. Big Bang) and contraction (i.e. Big Crunch) cosmos cycles (i.e. cyclic cosmology).

The second benefit empowers humans with the ability to tap into disruptive insights to discover existing transformative information within the quantum field regarding future concepts, and then manifest them within the present. Within business and science that is labeled as ‘breakthrough innovation’ and in within religion that is labeled as ‘prophecy’. The knowledgebase of transformative information already exists because it was generated and saved in prior cosmos cycles. What humans perceive as ‘discovering’ breakthrough innovation and prophecy is simply the act of accessing and downloading this collective

knowledgebase. (As Einstein observed: “The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap of consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, the solution comes to you…” Similarly, Tesla remarked: “My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength, and inspiration.”) This process extends within a more limited scope to incremental innovation as well, where the human mind is accessing bits of incremental information to co-create an entirely new concept that has never existed before. This process for co-creation is in essence a ‘privileged channel’ that sentient and sapient beings have to interact with the quantum field.

Mind Components

The mind is not one monolithic unit, it is comprised of multiple components of Self, Divergent Thought, Intuition and Emotion. The mind components perform a function like highly advanced computer apps that are customized for each mobile phone. In our circumstance, they are like cognitive apps customized for each mobile human. The Self is the core identity and decision-maker. The Self is the entity you sense and perceive your-self to be. Therefore, the terms ‘you’ and ‘Self’ can be interchangeable. Divergent Thought encompasses Creative, Reactive, and Rational thinking. Intuition guides instinctive insights, and the role of Emotion has already been explained. These distinct components of the mind are what enable the Self to become self-aware.

These mind components have been guiding and influencing you, the Self, throughout your whole life as you were making decisions. Influencing you for good and for bad, as well as for collaboration and for conflict. Yes, this process of interaction between you and your other mind components has been so seamless and fluid that you have always considered your thinking to be the work of one monolithic unit. But it is not. Only you have the free will to make the ultimate decisions on the different types of guidance the other mind components present to you. This concept of there being delineation between the Self and all the other mind components is not new, it is the bedrock of esoteric Christian and Buddhist teachings. Even philosophers have long recognized this distinction. René Descartes famously declared, “I think, therefore I am,” establishing the foundation of self-awareness. Over 250 years later, Jean-Paul Sartre expanded on this, suggesting that the consciousness asserting the “I am” is not the same consciousness that ‘thinks’. Historically, such delineations of the mind’s components were enshrouded in religious and philosophical discourse. Here, these concepts are being articulated through a scientific lens.

Out of all the other mind components, only you are unique, like an iris and fingerprint. This is why you are the only mind component that is curious and asks questions. If you already had the answers you needed, then you would not be asking questions. The act of internally asking questions means you are seeking answers from a source outside your experience. The mind components are the internal source that provide you with customized choices that you perceive as answers, responses and guidance to the questions you asked.

Asking Questions

The process of asking questions enables the Self to intentionally use the other mind components like tools from a toolbox. In computer terms, asking questions is like initializing command prompts. Questions have three outcomes:

1. Gives you the mandate to set the agenda for the other mind components to

follow and focus on.

2. Always prompts a response from the other mind components. Be it in the form

of a complete answer, an assumption or just a hint/insight.

3. Opens space within your mind to receive, store and retain new information from

the answers/responses received.

When you, the Self, are not asking questions the other mind components are guiding and influencing you with their own agenda. Yes, they have their own agenda for you. Essentially, you are either using the other mind components or they are using you. The other mind components using you has been observed by Psychology and given many different labels. One of those labels is ‘automaticity’ or the ability to effortlessly take actions because you, the Self, are operating in a default pattern recognition mode. This ability of humans operating without really thinking or deep reasoning is the state most humans are engaged in most of the time. (And operating through a pattern recognition also happens to be how current linear AI models are structured.) In contrast asking questions is what has been observed by Psychology as leading to a ‘growth mindset’. This is because as the Self evolves and advances in complexity, the mind components keep up with it and offer more advanced and complex responses. It’s a self-reinforcing loop of cognitive self growth.

The act of asking questions is a human superpower because that's what truly elevates and evolves the independence of the Self to become self-aware. This enables the Self with the potential to recognize the pre-programed push of the prime directive and most importantly discern the existence of its opposite polarity option. This process is very challenging for humans because the prime directive is intertwined with emotion and is perceived as ‘Ego’. But as the Self becomes more self-aware, the Self not only recognizes the polarity behavior options of sacrifice and failure but also understands their benefits for society. Then once those beneficial behaviors are acted on, it becomes a trigger for Emotion to release the feelings of empathy and compassion, which flow through every facet of the body and mind - representing highest expressions of love.

Empathy and compassion then empower humans to cultivate personal moral behavior and public ethical behavior, which form the ideal foundation for cooperation. This moral and ethical framework for collaboration - historically nurtured by religious traditions – provides individuals and society with the potential to evolve. By intuitively embracing this cooperative framework, humans recognize that solely pursuing the prime directive of survival and winning would ultimately result in undermining society’s ability to survive or win.

Conclusion

In summary, these are the six breakthrough concepts:

Quantum Field - establishes the interconnected origin of all knowledge, enabling Diverse Knowledge Integration by allowing access to universal information beyond physical limits.

Cognitive States - delineate the unique human capacities of sentience and sapience, which infuse Emotion into consciousness, thereby amplifying High Level Creativity through neuroplasticity and growth.

Emotion Interplay - acts as the vital energy driving purpose, intuition and drive, essential for fueling the Innovative Thinking Process and preventing cognitive atrophy.

Brain/Mind Dynamic - illustrates how the mind rewires the brain for enhanced capacity, supporting all three factors by facilitating the upload and download of insights from the quantum field.

Mind Components - reveal the Self's interaction with divergent thought, intuition, and Emotion, empowering deliberate creativity and innovation.

Asking Questions - activates these components as a superpower, setting agendas for knowledge synthesis, creative leaps, and structured ideation, thus integrating the factors into a cohesive pathway for unlocking human potential.

Together these six concepts collectively underpin the three-factor key of Diverse Knowledge Integration, High Level Creativity and Innovative Thinking Process that will ultimately empower not just human agency but our ability to succeed and thrive like never before.

However, these concepts do not exist in isolation. They are themselves rooted in the world's first Unified Field Theory model of physics which is integrated within a unified model of philosophy, found at: AntonKrutz.com/ecm
