The True Creator of Everything

1. The Human Brain is the True Creator of Our Universe

And then, roughly one hundred thousand years since its explosive rise, the True Creator looked back at its almost miraculous accomplishments and saw, to its own astonishment, that it had created a whole new universe.

Our perceived reality. The human brain, sculpted by millions of years of evolution, is the sole architect of the "human universe." This universe encompasses all knowledge, perceptions, myths, beliefs, theories, culture, and technology that define our species. It's not an objective reality independent of us, but a construction of our minds.

Brain-centric view. This perspective places the human brain at the center of our understanding of reality. Concepts like physics, mathematics, and art don't exist independently; they are collections of human mental constructs. An alien intelligence, with a different brain, would likely describe the cosmos entirely differently.

Meaning from information. The brain excels at taking potential information from the cosmos and stamping meaning onto it. This process creates knowledge, which is essential for adaptation and survival. Our theories and descriptions of the universe are elaborate tales of mental derivatives, shaped by the unique neurobiology of our species.

2. Evolution Forged the Brain as a Unique Organic Computer

More specifically, my objective is to describe how such an organic computer—the way I like to describe the human brain—achieved its modern configuration and, in the process, acquired the means to generate a series of essential human behaviors, which turned out to be fundamental for the ascent of the True Creator of Everything as the center of the human universe.

Encephalization and neocortex. Human brain size increased dramatically over 2.5 million years, particularly the neocortex, which mediates higher cognition. This growth required significant energy, fueled by dietary changes (meat, cooking) and reduced intestine size.

• Australopithecus: ~400 cc
• Homo habilis: ~650 cc
• Homo erectus: ~1200 cc
• Homo sapiens: ~1130-1270 cc

Social brain hypothesis. Brain size, especially the neocortex, correlates with social group size (Dunbar's number). Larger brains handle the complexity of social relationships. Language replaced grooming as a primary social bonding tool, enabling larger groups.

Culture-gene coevolution. Human culture, transmitted through generations, drove brain evolution. Learning from others and accumulating knowledge created a selective pressure favoring larger, more capable brains. This collective brain power is key to our success.

3. Brains Process Information Differently Than Digital Machines

The notion that complexity like that exhibited by our brains can be re-created simply by wiring up an extraordinarily large number of efficient electronic elements is not only very far removed from reality but, when examined in depth, has no credible chance of succeeding: not now, not ever.

Organic vs. digital. Brains are organic computers that use their physical structure to acquire, process, and store information, primarily through analog computing. Digital computers rely on abstract, binary logic and algorithms separate from hardware. This fundamental difference makes brains resistant to digital simulation.

Shannon vs. Gödelian information. Digital computers process Shannon information (binary, syntactic, context-free). Brains process both, but crucially, Gödelian information (analog, semantic, context-dependent). Gödelian information is physically embedded in organic matter and cannot be fully digitized or simulated by a Turing machine.

• Shannon: Measures uncertainty, surprise; syntax focus.
• Gödelian: Embedded in tissue, causal efficiency; meaning/semantics focus; noncomputable.

Noncomputability. Gödel's incompleteness theorems and Chaitin's complexity theorem suggest limits to formal systems (like digital computers). Brains can generate truths or behaviors (intuition, creativity) that are noncomputable by algorithms, acting as "hypercomputers."

4. Brain Function Relies on Dynamic, Plastic Neural Ensembles

Our brains change themselves, both anatomically and physiologically, in response to everyone and every thing we interact with, as we learn new skills, and even when significant modifications take place around and inside our bodies.

Dynamic and distributed. Brain functions arise from the coordinated activity of large, distributed populations of neurons across multiple areas, not isolated regions. This "neural ensemble" activity is highly dynamic and constantly changing.

Key principles:

• Distributed: Functions involve vast neuronal networks.
• Neural-Mass: Ensemble contribution scales logarithmically with neuron number.
• Multitasking: Single neurons participate in multiple ensembles/functions.
• Degeneracy: Same outcome achieved by different neuron combinations.
• Context: Brain state determines response to stimuli (brain's own point of view).
• Energy Conservation: Global activity level remains constant.

Plasticity. The brain's remarkable ability to change its structure and function based on experience is called plasticity. This allows learning, adaptation, and recovery from injury. It's a core difference from fixed-hardware digital systems. Experiments show brains can even acquire new senses through plasticity.

5. Neuronal Electromagnetic Fields Bind the Brain into a Continuum

It is no wonder, therefore, that very few neuroscientists ever bothered to consider such a tiny signal as potentially capable of playing any fundamental role in generating most, if not all, of our most cherished brain functions.

Biological solenoids. White matter bundles act like biological solenoids, generating electromagnetic fields as electrical signals flow through them. These fields are tiny (~1 picotesla) but potentially crucial for brain function.

Analog binding. The Relativistic Brain Theory proposes these neuronal electromagnetic fields (NEMF) provide the physiological "glue" that fuses disparate brain regions into a single, functional continuum or "mental space." This allows rapid, precise synchronization across the brain.

Multilevel influence. NEMF can potentially influence brain activity across multiple organizational levels simultaneously:

• Quantum/Atomic
• Molecular/Genetic
• Chemical/Subcellular
• Cellular
• Circuit

This analog influence could mediate the conversion between digital action potentials and analog Gödelian information, supporting complex, noncomputable functions like consciousness, body schema, and memory storage/recall.

6. Human Brains Synchronize into Powerful Collective "Brainets"

Basically, a brainet is a distributed organic computer composed of multiple individual brains that become synchronized—in the analog domain—by an external signal such as light, sound, language, chemicals, or radio or electromagnetic waves and, as a result, is capable of producing emergent collective social behaviors.

Coupled brains. Just as NEMF bind a single brain, external signals can synchronize multiple individual brains into a collective entity called a brainet. Experiments show monkeys can synchronize brain activity to perform shared tasks.

Mechanisms of synchronization. Brain-to-brain coupling can occur through various signals:

• Sensory (visual, auditory)
• Language (oral, written)
• Social cues (gestures, proximity)
• Neurochemicals (oxytocin, dopamine)

Hebbian learning. Brainets learn and strengthen connections through a Hebbian-like mechanism scaled to entire brains. When brains interact and synchronize, the "connection" (mediated by the external signal) is strengthened, reinforcing collective behavior.

7. Mental Abstractions and Beliefs Drive Human History and Behavior

I am referring to the apparently innate human obsession of fully committing one’s allegiance, of gambling one’s present and future life, and establishing rigid codes of ethical and moral conduct, based on nothing more than an intangible mental abstraction.

Brain-made constructs. Concepts like time, space, mathematics, gods, nations, and economic systems are mental abstractions created by the human brain. They are Gödelian-info composites, low-dimension models generated to make sense of complex reality.

Belief as operator. Belief acts as a "Gödelian operator" in the brain, modulating perception, emotions, and memory. It allows us to accept mental abstractions as truth, even without empirical validation. Beliefs can be innate or learned through social interaction.

Information viruses and brainets. Mental abstractions, particularly those appealing to primitive instincts (tribalism, fear of enemy), can spread like "information viruses." These viruses synchronize large numbers of brains into powerful, cohesive brainets capable of driving collective behavior, for good or ill (e.g., wars, genocides, scientific movements, art).

8. Digital Addiction Threatens Core Human Cognitive Abilities

As we come to rely on computers to mediate our understanding of the world, it is our own intelligence that flattens into artificial intelligence.

Digital chameleon hypothesis. Constant interaction with digital systems, algorithms, and digitally mediated social interactions may reshape our brains. The brain, seeking reward, may prioritize processing Shannon-like information over Gödelian information.

Erosion of human traits. This shift could compromise unique human attributes:

• Empathy and compassion
• Creativity and intuition
• Critical thinking and reflection
• Natural navigation skills

Cognitive trade-offs. Studies suggest increased visual-spatial skills from screen time come at the expense of deep processing, critical thinking, and memory. Over-reliance on digital tools for tasks like navigation or memory storage may lead to degradation of the corresponding neural circuits.

9. Humanity Faces an Existential Choice for Its Future

Choose wisely and the future, if not the immortality, of the entire human race will be ensured, or select a misguided course based on the mirages generated by mental abstractions running amok, and the prognosis for sealing self-annihilation may become irreversible.

Existential bifurcation. Humanity is at a crossroads, threatened by mental abstractions that have spiraled out of control. The fusion of the "Church of the Market" (monetization of life) and the "Cult of the Machine" (automation, AI as superior) poses a significant risk.

Market and machine dominance. These fused abstractions prioritize profit and automation over human well-being, leading to inequality, joblessness, and environmental damage. They promote a view of humans as mere components or data points, not creators.

Reasserting human control. The braincentric view offers a path forward by demystifying these dominant forces as brain-made constructs. Recognizing their origins allows us to challenge their absolute authority and prioritize human needs and aspirations. Science, while powerful, must acknowledge its own brain-imposed limitations and serve humanity, not abstract dogma or profit.
