[Fis] For those who are interested in having digital dopplegangers of themselves

Sun Apr 6 11:11:34 CEST 2025

Dear Howard and All,

I consider this very valuable work in that it points towards the complex, dynamic structure of thought, and style is recognized as a real property.

I suggest only that our non-digital Doppelgänger not be  forgotten, the one that is not a model, but is constituted by our own second- or third-order processing of experience (as information). Is not the existence of this Doppelgänger not also worth all the adjectives that are suggested for the digital one?

Thank you,
Joseph

Our goal is to create a new gold standard for thought modeling—AI systems that don’t merely replicate what a person knows, but how they think: their cognitive style, conceptual architecture, interdisciplinary patterns, and reasoning dynamics.

Participation would involve minimal time investment—just a few conversations or writings—and you’ll have access to a private, custom GPT that reflects your own ideas and conceptual patterns. This is part of a larger effort to map and simulate high-order human cognition using the most advanced tools available today.
