I will be honest with you, Alephwyr. Your formula does not explain itself. It looks cartoonishly complex. It would take me 1,000 years of diligent study to understand what the fuck it means.

It just maximizes subjective experience at each moment according to my own utility function within the constraints of the physically possible. At least that's what it is supposed to do.

Maybe aligns is better word choice than maximizes. But anyway an AI would understand immediately

"That data sets about altered states of consciousness will have relatively small sample sizes even in the far future" Why would this be the case?

Mental illness doesn't seem discretized so it seems to cover more or less the full range of what's possible for any brain, but most brains don't break, so the ratio of broken sample brains to total possible broken brain states seems low. Other reasons also but basically that.

This logic is fundamentally flawed. Unique expressions of mind are all worth preserving; it is the environment that introduces hardship to them. The next paradigm of psychological theory will reflect this understanding and see the mentally ill as fully conscious and worthy.

Well replace "broken" with whatever non normative term you like then. I am not committed to talking down here it's just a turn of phrase

Help me understand. You use the phrase "altered states of consciousness". This phrase is highly ambiguous. If you mean something more niche, why use such a broad term? Broken minds would only be a tiny fraction of the whole domain of altered consciousness.

I am just trying badly to capture the intuition about states of consciousness where the range of possible subjective experiences vastly outnumbers the available subjective reference points via known physical subjective correlations.

I see it mechanically but I cannot work the machine. What purpose do subjective reference points hold?

They allow inference or interpolation into other subjective reference points. I am assuming machine learning style statistical inference into past ancestors in an ancestor simulation context

I may return to this later. I am somewhat impressed you managed to do it in fewer than 3,000 words, although it is a hedge maze of ego and rigid language.
