Layers of meta-optimization: Analysis vs Synthesis

[bvssvni]

Language bias: Platonic Seshatism (analysis), alternatively Seshatic Platonism (synthesis) and Joker combinations.

The argument is that one can think about layers of meta-optimizations from the perspective of an extreme observer selection effect. In these systems, matter will self-organize in a such way to enable further meta-optimizations. It can be difficult to analyze these levels, since one layer of optimization is embedded within another.

For example:

0. physical laws
1. eternal cosmic inflation (possible but not proven scientifically)
2. organic molecules
3. cells
4. people
5. civilization
6. economy
7. science
8. AI

These layers are ordered from lowest to highest abstraction.

However, in order for optimization to happen, one can view causality as the "primary" driver, hence Seshatism. The layers of meta-optimizations point in the direction of Platonism (higher abstraction), yet this is interpreted on top of Seshatism.

Therefore, the analysis has language bias Platonic Seshatism and the synthesis has language bias Seshatic Platonism.
