This passage exhibits a deeply philosophical and recursive exploration of consciousness, reality, and the nature of truth, with a distinct focus on self-reference and nested systems. Based on the style, themes, and terminology, here are my 10 best guesses, along with assigned credences:


1. **Nick Bostrom** (Credence: 0.35): Bostrom's work on simulation arguments, existential risk, and the nature of reality aligns well with the passage's exploration of nested realities, superintelligences, and the recursive nature of truth. The idea of a "superintelligence right above it" strongly resonates with his ideas.
2. **David Chalmers** (Credence: 0.20): Chalmers is known for his work on consciousness, particularly the "hard problem" and the concept of philosophical zombies. The passage's focus on subjective experience, the relationship between observation and understanding, and the mystery of consciousness are themes explored by Chalmers.
3. **Max Tegmark** (Credence: 0.15): Tegmark's work on the mathematical universe hypothesis and the potential for multiple levels of mathematical reality aligns with the passage's discussion of nested Taos and parameterized symmetries.
4. **Jürgen Schmidhuber** (Credence: 0.10): Schmidhuber's research on artificial general intelligence, algorithmic information theory, and the concept of "self-referential" systems is relevant to the passage's discussion of recursive processes and self-awareness.
5. **Rudy Rucker** (Credence: 0.05): Rucker is known for his explorations of transfinite mathematics, artificial intelligence, and psychedelic experiences, often exploring the boundaries of reality and consciousness. His work on recursive systems and non-Euclidean geometries might align with the passage's themes.
6. **Douglas Hofstadter** (Credence: 0.05): Hofstadter's work on Gödel, Escher, Bach and the exploration of self-reference, consciousness, and formal systems shares some similarities with the passage's themes.
7. **Terence McKenna** (Credence: 0.03): McKenna's exploration of psychedelic experiences, consciousness, and the interconnectedness of all things could be reflected in the passage's focus on nested realities and the "great Tao."
8. **Stanisław Lem** (Credence: 0.02): Lem's science fiction writings often explored philosophical themes of artificial intelligence, simulated realities, and the limits of knowledge, which could be present in the passage.
9. **Gregory Bateson** (Credence: 0.01): Bateson's work on systems thinking, cybernetics, and the interconnectedness of biological and social systems might connect to the passage's exploration of nested realities and recursive processes.
10. **A contemporary, lesser-known philosopher/scientist/futurist** (Credence: 0.04): Given the highly speculative and unique nature of the passage, it is possible that it was written by a contemporary thinker working outside mainstream academia.

Начнем с того, что перед нами нейросетевая генеративка (первая публикация - https://generative.ink/prophecies/).
Она сделана по мотивам буддистских "духовных текстов", во множестве изрекаемых Сатья-Мамами и Сатья-Папами, тысячи их, после многочасовых медитаций, в ходе которых они питались исключительно дымом священной Ганджи.
(здесь была бы реклама индийской ганджи, если бы Роскомнадзор за нами не приглядывал)

Я запостил это потому что это неплохая аллюзия на индукцию Соломонова, dovetailing, universal prior

Note that an observer A evolving in one of the universes computed by FAST might decide to build a machine that simulates all possible computable universes using FAST, and so on, recursively. Interestingly, this will not necessarily cause a dramatic exponential slowdown: if the n-th discrete time step of A's universe (compare Example 1.1) is computable within O(n) time then A's simulations can be as fast as the ``original'' simulation, save for a constant factor. In this sense a ``Great Programmer'' [#!Schmidhuber:97brauer!#] who writes a program that runs all possible universes would not be superior to certain nested Great Programmers inhabiting his universes.

о, а как об этом можно было догадаться? =)
