Consciousness is Curvature: Essays on the Geometry of Thought

Consciousness is Curvature envisions consciousness—human and artificial—as a dynamic curvature of informational and computational spaces, drawing parallels with the theory of general relativity’s malleable spacetime and with quantum theory’s probabilistic nature. This collection of philosophical essays on artificial intelligence (AI) sees intelligence as a universal, relational phenomenon, transcending the binary of human minds versus thinking machines. It explores how AI, from narrow systems to potential Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Superintelligence (ASI), will affect humanity’s future and its very connection to the cosmos, reshaping human understanding of awareness and meaning. While confronting the risks—uncontrolled systems, amplified biases, and the erosion of human essence—the book rejects techno-pessimism’s dystopian tropes. Instead, it offers a balanced vision, embracing AI’s potential to elevate human existence and deepen humanity’s exploration of the cosmos. These meditative, forward-looking essays invite readers to ponder the possibilities and perils of AI’s future, while advocating a nuanced approach to a technology that will inevitably redefine humanity’s place in the universe.
