Exploring Orto-Computing: Bridging the Gap Between Formal and Phenomenological Computing
Meaningful experiments suggest a transition from the formal, Turing-based approach to a structural-phenomenological one called Orto-Computing. This innovative concept integrates mind-matter interaction and non-formal functions within computational systems, offering potential solutions to complexity and computability challenges. The journey towards Orto-Computing poses intriguing questions and uncharted territories for researchers to delve into, paving the way for a paradigm shift in the computing landscape.

Gheorghe M. tefan: How Far We Are From Orto-Computing? Abstract Meaningful experiments encourage us to think that the formal-structural, Turing-based approach in computation can be upgraded to the level of a structural-phenomenological one. Let s call it the orto-computing level. Two hypothetic solutions will be presented. The first uses the mind- matter interaction at the level of a Random Event Generator, while the second inserts, in a cellular computational structure, modules with non- formal transfer functions. Both, the mind-matter interaction and the non-formal behavior, have trans-computational features, and we expect them to provide functional capabilities able to overcome the problems raised by complexity and/or non-computability. A lot of open problems are in front of the researchers eager to take into account the challenges of the orto-computing the computation which closes strange loops in our computing environment. The road could be, if it will be, long and hard, but we must start to explore it. Colocviile Mihai Dr g nescu Dec. 2018 2
Orto-Computing: the structural-phenomenological approach in computing A computing system with loop closed through the phenomenal realm Integrating a non-systemic/non- formal entity in a computing system Colocviile Mihai Dr g nescu Dec. 2018 3
Why? Mind-Matter Interaction Content Non-formal Activation Function Can We Reach a Conclusion? Colocviile Mihai Dr g nescu Dec. 2018 4
Why? There are limitations: On the complexity (intensity) of computing On computability Solutions are looming: Quantum mind-mater interaction [Atmanspacher 2012] Non-formal functions Solutions have been predicted: Mihai Dr g nescu sstructural-phenomenological approach Nothing yet fully validated experimentally Colocviile Mihai Dr g nescu Dec. 2018 5
Quantum Mind-Matter Interaction State of the Art The world is made up of quantum objects with their existence depending on consciousness, according to experimental facts: The mind can alter the spectral magnitude and phase in a double-slit component of the interference pattern [Radin 2012] [Radin 2013]. Quantum Random Event Generator (REG) can be influenced in mind-matter experiments [Tressoldi 2014]. The best effects were obtained by participants with meditation experience.

Psychokinesis (PK) => micro-psychokinesis (PK). It is time to investigate the conditions that facilitate these effects and to look for practical applications: Neuroquantology Mind-matter interaction is a genuine physical phenomenon associated with the act of intention. Meta-analysis: the overall odds against chance are in excess of a billion to one in favor of PK [Radin 2004]. Psyleron: is a REG, the first agnitronic device (Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Lab, PEAR, integrated in International Consciousness Research Laboratories after 2007) Colocviile Mihai Dr g nescu Dec. 2018 7
Psyleron: an agnitronic device The Psyleron REG is based on technology developed at the PEAR Lab., that produces stream of random events using the quantum noise present junction of a solid- state device. the a digital in the Colocviile Mihai Dr g nescu Dec. 2018 8
Psyleron on its own The analyzed data is displayed as a graph of cumulative about the theoretical mean. deviations The parabolic curves represent the point at which the cumulative imbalances in the ratio of ones and zeros in the data stream (deviations from the mean), reach statistical significance. Colocviile Mihai Dr g nescu Dec. 2018 9
Psyleron in interaction with an intentional mind The theoretical odds are 1 in 20 that an effect these thresholds is due to chance alone. exceeding As the cumulative deviations beyond the threshold of the curves, the odds that the effect is due to chance diminish rapidly. extend Colocviile Mihai Dr g nescu Dec. 2018 10
The simplest, preliminary experiment Multiplication: an easy to compute function Division: compute function a hard to The loop: mind is focused to minimize the value of displayed on the screen: The experiment is designed to compute the hard function using the easy function and the loop closed through an intentional mind. Colocviile Mihai Dr g nescu Dec. 2018 11
A meaningful orto-computing experiment is when the direct function is in NP The structural effort for: Multiplication is in O(n2) Division is in O(n3) No big deal! When the structural effort for: Inverse function is in O(nk) Direct function is in O(kn) where k is a constant, then it s a big deal! Colocviile Mihai Dr g nescu Dec. 2018 12
Non-Formal Functions What means a non-formal function? Negative definition: a non-formal function is a function which can not be computed according to the Church-Turing Thesis We need a positive definition saying what is as non-formal function How can be proved that a relation can not be computed? Experimentally: we can capture a phenomenal evolution in time A measured value is truncated by the accuracy of the measurement. Does it remain non-formal? Maybe in the missing value due to the truncation, the essence of the phenomenon manifested Working hypothesis: the accuracy of the measurement is enough to capture the main phenomenal aspects of the process Colocviile Mihai Dr g nescu Dec. 2018 13
Examples of non-linear system transfer functions The system is somehow sensitive to the input value. Colocviile Mihai Dr g nescu Dec. 2018 14
Non-Formal Functions Non-Formal Activation Function for NN Currently: the activation function is a non-linear one What if: the activation function is a non-formal one Multiplication and addition are computed The function is applied informally Colocviile Mihai Dr g nescu Dec. 2018 15
Can we reach a conclusion? Hard to conclude in such a hypothetic context Too many open problems: How can be defined the distance, , from the (best) solution? Do we need specific meditation experience? Defining & validating the non-formal Capturing the non-formal But, if at least one of these experiment will work, then it could be a successful structural-phenomenological starting event.
