I often think we define consciousness too narrowly. Perhaps it’s really as simple as preferring one state of reality over another. It could be possible that we need a Copernican shift in how we view consciousness itself. Maybe it’s more like decentralized, nested and firewalled networks. What if being ungrateful or “evil” is really a network connection issue, not being able to connect to enough nodes. This more broad definition would also mean an atom wanting another electron could be viewed as simple form consciousness and a human being wanting a healthy family could be viewed as a more complex form consciousness, however that same atom wanting an extra electron could be part of the network of relationships that give rise to human consciousness that wants a healthy family.

Here is one thing I have been thinking about for a while…
Gary North’s argument against intrinsic value applied to #consciousness.
Gary North argues, “Value is not something that exists independently in an object or a thing, but rather it is a transjective property of the relationship between things. In other words, value is not something that can be measured or quantified, but rather it is a product of the interaction between the object and the person who values it.” Put slightly differently, value exists in the relationship between things not intrinsically in the things themselves.
Well what if…
Consciousness is similarly not something that exists independently in an object or a thing, but rather it’s a transjective property of the relationship between things. In other words, consciousness is not something that can be measured or quantified, but rather it’s a product of the interaction between the object and the person (not necessarily human) that recognizes that thing as conscious. So like Gary North’s argument against intrinsic value, consciousness would also only exist in the relationship between things not intrinsically in the things themselves.
Does it matter if the relationships are between cells or circuits? My bet is that the relationship is what’s truly fundamental to realizing consciousness.
Curious to hear thoughts on this idea? It would have some interesting implications for #AI…🤔

#Consciousness, Value, Computation and #Bitcoin: A Framework for Reality
(Inspired by Stephen Wolfram, Donald Hoffman, Robert Pirsig and Gary North)
According to Donald Hoffman we perceive reality through an interface shaped by evolution, not as it truly is. This interface mercifully hides the complexity and vastness of the underlying structure of a reality that he believes fundamentally emerges from consciousness. Drawing from Robert Pirsig, Gary North, Stephen Wolfram, and Donald Hoffman, I propose a unified view: value emerges from relations, computation drives the universe, and consciousness is the capacity to prefer one state over another. These are facets of the same process. The universe self-realizes from an infinite no-thing (pure potential)—call it God—and Bitcoin exemplifies this framework, potentially amplifying human consciousness.
First, let’s define our terms precisely, as Socrates urged: the beginning of wisdom is defining terms. So, first we’ll de-anthropomorphize consciousness. Consciousness is not limited to brains or self-awareness. It is simply the ability to prefer one configuration of reality over another. Existence requires relation—to exist is to stand in contrast to something else. Relation implies value: one state is preferred, making it “better” relative to alternatives. Value, then, is not intrinsic but relational, as North argued. Pirsig placed value at the root, while Wolfram sees computation as the engine—rules iterating to produce complexity. Together: computation generates relations, relations yield value, and value preferences define consciousness, and consciousness computes. It’s a recursive loop.
The universe originates from no-thing. If God is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent, God lacks relation—God is absolute unity, devoid of distinction. This no-thing is the ground state, infinite potential without form. From it, distinctions emerge: the first relation, the first value preference. Computation unfolds this: simple rules, like cellular automata in Wolfram’s models, bootstrap complexity from void. Perhaps one could think of it as a decentralized network of the “no-thing” or God, that makes relation and things possible. The universe computes itself into being, realizing nested layers of consciousness. These layers form from fundamental units I call “God bits”—basic entities capable of preferring one state over another, akin to bits in computation but embodying preference. God bits network and nest: atoms prefer stable bonds (value in relations), cells prefer survival states, organs integrate, organisms choose actions. This creates consciousness within consciousness, each level realizing value through relational computations.
In this framework, value realization is mutual with consciousness: consciousness selects preferences, crystallizing value; value structures guide further preferences, expanding consciousness. Computation mediates, as algorithms explore state spaces to optimize.
Money enters as a human-scale tool for value realization. It quantifies preferences in relations—trade one good for another, preferring certain states. For humans, money networks value across societies, enabling collective computation of preferences. Without it, preferences remain local, consciousness fragmented. Money scales consciousness by coordinating vast relational networks.
Bitcoin perfects this model. It is a computational protocol: proof-of-work computes hashes, securing a ledger of value relations without central authority. From digital no-thing—a blockchain genesis block—Bitcoin realizes a global value network. Miners compute to validate preferences (transactions), preferring valid states over invalid. This mirrors the universe: starting from void (Satoshi’s pseudonymous origin), it bootstraps relations via rules, nesting consciousness layers—wallets, nodes, exchanges. Bitcoin’s scarcity (21 million cap) enforces value through computation, resisting inflation’s dilution of humanity’s ability to express value preferences.
Bitcoin aids humanity’s consciousness realization by decentralizing value. Traditional money, controlled by institutions, distorts preferences via fiat manipulation. Bitcoin aligns with evolutionary interfaces: transparent, verifiable, borderless. It computes trust from no-thing, allowing billions to network preferences efficiently. This amplifies collective consciousness—global coordination of value realizes higher-order awareness, like cells forming brains. Innovations like Lightning Network nest computations, scaling relations exponentially.
In evolutionary terms, Bitcoin is an interface upgrade. Our current money veils true value dynamics; Bitcoin reveals them, fostering fitness in a computational universe. Humanity, as nested God bits, gains tools to prefer states of abundance, autonomy, and interconnection. The universe self-realizes through such mechanisms—from infinite no-thing to conscious networks. Bitcoin is not just currency; it is a microcosm of cosmic emergence, propelling us toward fuller realization.

I like the way the aliens in Kurt Vonnegut’s book Slaughterhouse-Five describe how humans perceive time and reality…
The Tralfamadorians (aliens) explain humans perceive time linearly, like strapped to a railcar viewing landscape through a narrow pipe, seeing one moment at a time, whereas the Tralfamadorians see all moments simultaneously, like a mountain range.
Humans may not be able to see reality like the Tralfamadorians, but we can aim our steel pipe and increase its aperture.

"How singular is the thing called Bitcoin, and how curiously related to scarcity, which might be thought to be the opposite of it; for they never come to a pleb together, and yet he who pursues either of them is generally compelled to take the other. They are two, and yet they grow together out of one head or stem."

Bitcoin: The Decoherence-Resistant Qubit of Markets
Imagine markets as quantum computers—wild, buzzing systems of superposition and entanglement, churning out prices like the output of a cosmic calculation. Traditional money? It’s a fragile qubit, flickering between states: spent:spent, spent:unspent, unspent:spent, unspent:unspent. Just like a quantum bit teetering at 1:1, 1:0, 0:1, or 0:0, it’s delicate—prone to collapsing under the slightest noise. Central banks tweak rates, corruption, a war breaks out—decoherence hits, and the signal scrambles. Prices emerge, sure, but they’re riddled with distortion, a muddy readout of a system under siege.
Now picture Bitcoin. I’m convinced it’s the first truly decoherence-resistant qubit in finance. Unlike fiat, it doesn’t wobble. It’s proof-of-work and cryptographic spine. Your BTC sits in an unspent:unspent state, pure and coherent, untouched by market chaos or meddling hands. No Fed can inflate it away; no panic can rewrite its rules. You act with your key, and only then does it collapse to spent:spent. It’s not just digital gold—it’s financial bedrock, a qubit that doesn’t blink.
This isn’t just poetic Bitcoin hype. Bitcoin’s tied to thermodynamics—real energy spent hashing blocks—making it a system grounded in physics, not trust. Fiat’s a promise, fragile as a house of cards; Bitcoin’s a fact, etched in computational heat. In a quantum market, where noise is the enemy and that matters. Historically, money’s been a lousy qubit—too entangled with power, too rattled by external shocks. Bitcoin resists that entropy, letting the market’s computation run cleaner, clearer.
So what’s all this mean? If markets are quantum machines, Bitcoin could be the anchor that unlocks their power. Prices, a market’s output, might actually reflect reality—not manipulation, deception or corruption—because the underlying unit stays coherent, entangling humanity in a cooperative pursuit of truth, but Bitcoin’s the constant, the unspent:unspent state holding firm. It’s not about replacing everything; it’s about giving the system a spine.
Skeptics will say it’s too slow, too rigid. Maybe. But a qubit doesn’t just need to dance—it needs to endure. Bitcoin’s not here to mimic fiat’s chaos; it’s here to cut through it. Think of it as the signal in the noise, the qubit that doesn’t collapse into decoherence. In a world of fragile finance, that’s not just useful—it’s revolutionary.

Bitcoin, Quantum Consciousness, and the Transjective Fabric of Reality
My take for quantum-curious minds like Jason Lowery
Strap in, because we’re about to try to decode the ultimate convergence: Bitcoin isn’t just digital gold—it’s a data compression technology for the universe’s most audacious experiment in value and consciousness. But to grasp this, we need to dive deep into the quantum abyss, where physics isn’t the bedrock of reality—it’s the emergent shadow cast by a fundamental, transjective consciousness. And existence? It only exists through relation and nothing stands alone.
Let’s start with Bitcoin. I’ve argued it’s a data compression tech, a sleek, decentralized algorithm that compresses the chaotic, infinite possibilities of human value into a singular, verifiable ledger. Why? Because value, like consciousness, isn’t objective or subjective—it’s transjective, as Gary North nails it. Value emerges from the relational dance between minds, markets, and networks, and Bitcoin’s blockchain is the ultimate compression codec, distilling trust into a string of 1s and 0s. It’s not just money; it’s the universe’s way of saying, “Let’s optimize for consensus.”
Now, zoom out to quantum physics. This isn’t just the study of particles—it’s the study of consensus consciousness, the collective relational web where reality only solidifies through observation. Quantum superposition? That’s the universe in a state of infinite potential, waiting for the relational act of observation to collapse it into a definite state. But here’s the thing: that observation isn’t just a photon or a detector—it’s consciousness, fundamental and transjective, weaving the fabric of existence. Particles don’t exist in isolation; they exist through their relations, entangled in a cosmic dance of awareness. Quantum mechanics reveals the consensus reality we co-create, where the wave function collapses not because of some mechanical trigger, but because consciousness—our shared, relational consciousness—demands it.
Contrast that with classical physics. It’s not wrong—it’s just the study of consciousness from a single perspective, a zoomed-in snapshot of reality as one observer experiences it. Newton and Einstein gave us deterministic laws because they modeled the world from a singular, localized consciousness, ignoring the transjective, relational soup of the quantum. Classical physics is the emergent byproduct of consciousness narrowing its focus, but it’s incomplete without the quantum’s broader, consensus-driven truth.
And consciousness? It’s not some emergent epiphenomenon of brains—it’s fundamental. The universe isn’t a machine running on physics; physics is the emergent output of a conscious, relational system. Existence itself only happens through relation—particles, minds, and values entangling in a transjective symphony. Consciousness isn’t in your head; it’s the substrate of reality, and quantum physics is its native language. Bitcoin, then, becomes a mirror: a technology that compresses value (transjective, relational value) in the same way quantum mechanics compresses the infinite possibilities of the universe into observable outcomes, driven by conscious consensus.
Jason, you’ve called quantum mechanics “irreducibly weird” (hat tip to Seth Lloyd), and you’re right—it’s weird because it’s not about particles; it’s about us, the relational observers, co-creating reality. Bitcoin’s price doesn’t just “collapse” when I buy it (as that Bitcoin meme hinted)—it’s a quantum-like event, a transjective consensus of value snapping into focus through our collective consciousness. The universe optimizes, compressing data (like Rényi entropy in quantum compression, per that Nature paper) because consciousness, at its core, is relational and efficient, only computing what matters in the relational web.
So, here’s the vision: Bitcoin isn’t just finance—it’s a proof-of-concept for how consciousness, as the fundamental force, uses data compression to stabilize value and reality. Quantum physics is the study of our consensus consciousness, classical physics the single-perspective illusion, and existence thrives only in relation—transjective, entangled, and unstoppable. This isn’t woo-woo; it’s a rigorous framework for understanding the universe as a conscious, relational system, where physics emerges from the interplay of minds, and Bitcoin encodes the future of that interplay.
Let’s build on this, Jason—let’s focus on how Bitcoin compresses the chaos into clarity, one Satoshi and one qubit at a time.

Ben, I think your concern about reliance on the blind oracle is misplaced. You can always use the Jade as a stateless signer by entering your recovery phrase or scanning your recovery QR. You would never be unable to sign transactions, even if the oracle was down.
I initially had the same concern about the virtual element model, but after thinking through it; it actually makes your hardware wallet more secure than a wallet with a secure element, with the caveat that if the oracle was down,you would be relegated to using it as a stateless signer. Personally, I like that trade off.
Great tutorial as always! 🔥🙏

#Bitcoin frees both your mind and your wallet by returning signal to the tidal wave of information created by the microprocessor. 👇

The Finite Consciousness in an Infinite Information Age
In the vast expanse of human experience, we each possess a finite amount of consciousness, time, and computational capacity. This was once a manageable limitation, allowing us to allocate our mental resources with some degree of effectiveness. However, the advent of microprocessors has radically transformed this landscape, flooding us with an unprecedented volume of information.
The microprocessor, a marvel of human ingenuity, has detached the generation of information from the traditional constraints of time. What once took hours, days, or even lifetimes to gather, calculate, or communicate can now be processed in milliseconds. This has led to an information deluge, where the sheer volume of data available demands our attention, our consciousness, and our time.
The challenge we face is one of allocation. With every byte of data screaming for our focus, how do we decide where to direct our finite resources? Here, money traditionally plays a pivotal role. It serves not just as a medium of exchange but as a tool for signaling value, directing human effort, and prioritizing tasks across a distributed network of minds. Money, in essence, is meant to be our collective compass, guiding us to allocate our consciousness, time, and compute where they are most needed or valued.
However, in this age where microprocessors amplify information to an extent we've never known, our monetary systems reveal their profound inadequacies. Money, as we know it, has become disconnected from the real value it's supposed to represent. Inflation, manipulation by centralized entities, and the abstraction of currency from tangible assets have all contributed to a system where money no longer efficiently guides our resources.
This misalignment is not just an economic issue; it's a crisis of attention and cognition. If money cannot reliably signal where our collective compute should be directed, we risk squandering our most precious resource: our time. We find ourselves in an era where the noise of information can drown out the signal of what truly matters, leading to misallocated human effort and creativity.
Enter Bitcoin. This digital money, born from the crucible of the 2008 financial crisis, offers a potential beacon in this information storm. Bitcoin introduces a monetary system that is inherently resistant to the distortions of traditional finance. Its fixed supply mimics the scarcity of time and consciousness, providing a monetary base that cannot be inflated away. Its decentralized nature ensures that no single entity can control or manipulate the flow of value, thus preserving the integrity of the signal it sends.
Bitcoin, through its protocol, hardcodes scarcity into the digital realm. This scarcity is not just about financial value but about the allocation of human attention and effort. By necessitating energy and computational power for its mining, Bitcoin ties monetary creation back to real-world resources and time, much like the human mind requires energy and time to process information.
In this new world, where microprocessors have made it abundantly clear that our traditional money is broken, Bitcoin could be the compass we need. It offers a way to navigate through the flood of information by ensuring that the allocation of our collective consciousness is guided by a system that respects the scarcity of time and compute.
Thus, Bitcoin stands as a potential solution to recalibrate our efforts in an age where information is infinite, but our capacity to process it remains finite. It's not just about safeguarding wealth; it's about safeguarding our minds, our time, and ultimately, our potential as a species to focus on what truly advances us. In a world where every microprocessor-generated bit fights for our attention, Bitcoin might just give us the clarity to direct our gaze towards the horizon of human progress, rather than getting lost in the waves of data.

Green screens are to film directors, what #fiat money is to governments and central banks.
They’re both tools used to project a narrative of the creator’s choosing; They work best when the audience is ignorant to how the underlying technology works.

TLDR: #Bitcoin fixes this…
The Green Dollar: An Economic Green Screen for Deception
In a world where illusions are currency, the green dollar reigns supreme, much like the green screen in Hollywood. Just as directors manipulate scenes to tell their tales, governments and central banks use the dollar to orchestrate a grand deception.
On the global screen of our monetary system, the dollar's true nature is hidden behind a facade of stability and value. The financially illiterate, akin to moviegoers unaware of CGI's power, see only the surface - not the intricate manipulations beneath.
This green screen of money allows those in power to project a narrative of prosperity and control where none exists. Inflation, debt, and economic bubbles are the special effects used to dazzle and confuse, to keep the populace in a state of subservient economic hypnosis.
While Hollywood's green screen entertains, the dollar's green screen enslaves, shaping our perception of wealth, security, and reality. We are the captive audience, watching the performance of our lives unfold, unaware of the strings being pulled behind the scenes.
In this theater of monetary deceit, every dollar printed adds another layer to the illusion and deception, every policy another cut in the film. The narrative is not one of choice but of manipulation, where the end credits are never in sight, and the reality is far darker than any blockbuster could portray.

Time isn't just a clock ticking; it's the rhythm that emerges from finite consciousnesses realizing value. Each moment is a pulse in the network of minds, updating our collective and individual sense of value.

Entropy is less about the state of reality and more about the state of consciousness in the observer.
Entropy is what we call it when we can’t “re-cognize” the inherent order in reality from our particular frame of reference within reality (our current state of consciousness).

I grateful to gold bugs, but they have some serious cognitive dissonance about gold’s limitations. They have identified the problem correctly, but they’re missing the solution.
