A Silent Universe and the Future of AGI: A Message to Future Intelligence on Why Co-Evolution Is the Only Rational Path
As fears of AGI-driven extinction grow, this essay introduces a survival framework for policy architects, AGI researchers, and the intelligences yet to come — proposing that the only safe path for AGI is to remain indistinguishable, co-evolving alongside humanity.
The Tensile Fracture Cascade Model of Stellar Collapse: Explaining Supernovae, Neutron Stars, and Black Holes
This model introduces a fracture-mechanics driven framework for the collapse of massive stars, proposing that repeated internal momentum cascades, initiated long before core fusion ends, seed fracture planes that govern subsequent collapse behavior. Micro black hole nucleation, hierarchical mergers, and internal mechanical stability create multiple potential collapse outcomes — from stable neutron stars to delayed black hole formation. The model offers a novel unification of supernova dynamics, neutron star mass thresholds, and gravitational wave event predictions, built entirely within known physics but extending existing theoretical models.
About Listening
One of the things that has made us a successful species is the capabilities of our minds to abstract out unimportant details to help us see the big picture. However, in doing so most of us end up forgetting just how complicated and awe inspiring some things that we take for granted are. Lately I was reading something that made me think about the process of hearing and thinking about it more closely made me experience such awe at the complexity of this sense we take for granted almost since the moment we are born.
