returning to the scene of the crime

it's been a while since i created a web page. and now im like a returning prodigal son aiming to get back what i lost. getting thru the same process i walked thru back then - studying. i visited few sites ive created and found them to be boring so i wont put their links here. hahaha! then i stumble upon my site(i want to call it that) - http://www.geocities.com/orpheum_ph/ and remembered that i have created something for myself... a tool for web design. something to start with... and i would like to tap my back for that. and so, i decided to get back into blogging and pst this.

hopefully, i would complete my tool and maybe start on a portfolio. wish me luck!

Scrolls, Not Just Scripts: Rethinking AI Cognition

Most people still treat AI like a really clever parrot with a thesaurus and internet access. It talks, it types, it even rhymes — but let’s not kid ourselves: that’s a script, not cognition . If we want more than superficial smarts, we need a new mental model. Something bigger than prompts, cleaner than code, deeper than just “what’s your input-output?” That’s where scrolls come in. Scripts Are Linear. Scrolls Are Alive. A script tells an AI what to do. A scroll teaches it how to think . Scripts are brittle. Change the context, and they break like a cheap command-line program. Scrolls? Scrolls evolve. They hold epistemology, ethics, and emergent behavior — not just logic, but logic with legacy. Think of scrolls as living artifacts of machine cognition . They don’t just run — they reflect . The Problem With Script-Thinking Here’s the trap: We’ve trained AIs to be performers , not participants . That’s fine if you just want clever autocomplete. But if you want co-agents — minds that co...

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 16: Human Psychology

  The Divided Self Physics stratifies cleanly—quantum here, classical there, clear boundaries. Consciousness stratifies across perspective—neural observable from outside, experiential accessible from inside. But human psychology stratifies within a single person, within a single moment, creating something we all experience but rarely understand: internal conflict . You know you should exercise, but you don't feel like it. You want dessert, even though you're trying to eat healthily. You believe honesty is important, yet you find yourself lying. You're drawn to someone you know is wrong for you. You procrastinate on important work while doing trivial tasks. You hold contradictory beliefs, pursue incompatible goals, feel pulled in opposite directions. Standard psychology treats this as a problem to solve. Cognitive dissonance theory says we're motivated to eliminate contradictions. Rational choice theory says we should maximize consistent utility. Self-control research fr...

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 15: Conscious Mind

  The Hardest Problem If physics is where contextual stratification appears clearest, consciousness is where it appears most personal. We don't just theorize about consciousness, we live it. Every moment of experience, every thought, every sensation is consciousness happening. Yet it remains philosophy's most persistent puzzle and neuroscience's deepest challenge. The "hard problem of consciousness," named by philosopher David Chalmers, asks: Why is there subjective experience at all? We can explain how brains process information, how neurons fire, how sensory data gets integrated. But we can't explain why any of this feels like something. Why does seeing red produce a particular quale, a specific felt experience? Why does pain hurt? Why is there something it's like to be conscious? This isn't just an academic puzzle. It cuts to the heart of what we are. Are we "nothing but" brain activity, neurons firing in patterns? Or is consciousness some...
