We call our technology Natural Meaning Processing (NMP), derived from our scientific model, the Physics of Understanding (or Meaning).
It is a meaning engine that extracts and processes meaning from any bitstream—for example, from an LLM inference.
You won’t find it in scientific papers yet because we haven’t published it. Our current focus is applied science: patents and development. We will publish our general discovery in the coming years (notably our Bodhisattva AGI) due to its potential impact on understanding in both living and artificial systems. For example, all biological species understand differently, yet follow the same mathematical principles. It solves paradoxes; it addresses the hard problem of consciousness… but that’s for later.
What NMP Is Not
- Magic: Even advanced technology is not magic.
- LLM Tuning: It is not about tweaking existing language models.
- Prompt Engineering: It is not about crafting specific prompts for AI systems.
- Data Pre-training: It does not rely on massive datasets for training.
- Neural Networks: It operates outside the realm of neural networks.
- Statistical Correlations: It relies on principles, not just patterns.
- NLP (Natural Language Processing): It focuses on a different domain.
- Linguistic Classifications: It does not categorize language by grammar or syntax.
What Is NMP?
- A New Paradigm: A completely new way of approaching understanding in AI.
- Orthogonal Domain: Works outside traditional language- and brain-based models.
- First-Principles-Based: Built on fundamental principles we discovered.
- Zero-Statistic Nature: We know understanding is achieved when specific equations evaluate to exactly zero.
- Proprietary Foundation: We developed the models, equations, and algorithms behind NMP over 3 years, building on 40 years of groundwork.
Understanding NMP
Understanding it entails recognizing—and directly experiencing—that both the “I in here” that experiences a “reality out there” and the “reality out there” experienced by that “I in here” are co-generated by your organism (primarily your brain). This pair is the so-called “duality.”
NMP enables the construction of a “soft” Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) because, within its domain, it can perform cognitive functions such as analysis, critical thinking, imagination, and learning, similar to humans. With a foundation for human-like understanding in place, a soft AGI becomes a significant step closer.
