//What intelligence actually is. Why AI doesn’t have it. And how formal axiology might provide the missing piece.
TL;DR:
Intelligence requires more than pattern recognition — it requires evaluation, prioritisation, judgement. LLMs mimic the linguistic outputs of intelligent beings without possessing the evaluative architecture that produces those outputs. They have no way to determine what matters. Formal axiology — the mathematical science of value developed by Robert S. Hartman — provides that architecture: a formalised hierarchy of value (Intrinsic > Extrinsic > Systemic) that constitutes good human judgement. This framework could be implemented as the “judgement layer” -> read more
//Concept Document for Peer Review
DRAFT — FOR FEEDBACK
I am developing a transformation programme specifically designed for twice-exceptional (2e) individuals — people who are both intellectually gifted and neurodivergent (autism, ADHD, or related profiles). This document describes the concept, framework, and structure of the programme. I am sharing it with you because I value your perspective and would appreciate your honest feedback.
Before diving into the details, I want to share why this matters to me personally.
//Meta note: This article was created using the very system it describes. I asked Claude Desktop, “Can you create a new post, in draft, on how Claude Desktop, using the AI Engine MCP, makes all kinds of things possible?” What you’re reading is the result – though I’ve since refined it to better capture what this actually means in practice.
Here’s the fundamental limitation of most AI interactions: you ask questions, get answers, maybe generate some text or code – and then you have to manually do something with those responses. Copy them. Paste them somewhere. Execute the suggestions yourself. The AI lives in a sandbox, disconnected from the systems -> read more
//When we talk about transformation, we often focus on surface-level changes: new behaviors, different choices, altered outcomes. But these visible shifts are merely symptoms of something far deeper. True transformation doesn’t happen in our conscious thoughts or deliberate decisions. It happens at a level most of us never consciously access: the foundational layer of internal working models that construct our experienced reality.
To understand transformation, we must first understand where our sense of self and world actually exists. This isn’t a philosophical question—it’s a neurophysiological one. And the answer changes everything about how we approach personal -> read more
//Imagine this scenario: You’ve had a difficult day. You share what happened with a friend. Within moments, they’re offering advice, sharing similar experiences, and explaining what they think is “really” going on with your situation. They genuinely believe they’re being supportive. So why do you feel worse?
If you’re neurodivergent—particularly if you’re autistic, gifted, or twice-exceptional (both gifted and autistic/ADHD)—this scenario might feel painfully familiar. What you sought was emotional resonance. What you received was cognitive -> read more
//Current approaches to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) development proceed from an inadequate definition of intelligence itself. By applying biomimetic analysis to intelligence, we demonstrate that genuine intelligence necessarily emerges from self-preserving entities with boundaries between self and environment. Current Large Language Models (LLMs) provide sophisticated mimicry of intelligent speech patterns but lack the fundamental requirement of intelligence: selfhood -> read more
//In 2009, Jay Niblick published What’s Your Genius?, presenting findings from a seven-year study of 197,000 individuals across 23 countries (Niblick, 2009). The research revealed a compelling truth: the highest performers don’t possess superior talents—they possess two acquired skills: self-awareness (understanding their natural thinking talents) and authenticity (aligning their roles with those talents).
