Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - INEVITICS: The Threshold of Inevitability - A Technical HandbookThis book presents Inevitics, a theoretical framework in which coherence emerges through sharp threshold transitions rather than gradual processes. Drawing on threshold theory (Kahn-Kalai, Park-Pham) and entropy-minimizing transport (Schrödinger bridges), it argues that once relational density exceeds a critical value, systems reorganize inevitably and abruptly into coherent states .Applying this principle across quantum physics, cognition, and spacetime theory, the work reframes collapse, awareness, and emergence as threshold-driven events governed by optimal transport and geometric relaxation. It further proposes implications for computation, including resonance-based architectures and Qiosmosic Quantum AI.Inevitics establishes inevitability as a foundational principle linking randomness, coherence, and the dynamics of becoming. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - How does anything become something How does form emerge from a reality that never stops becoming Qiosmosis: A New Ontology of Reality in Becoming is a systematic philosophical work that reverses the traditional order of metaphysical explanation. Instead of beginning with stable beings and asking how they change, it asks how processes of change ever produce relatively stable beings at all. The answer it develops - across fifty chapters, seven parts, and a philosophical grammar of twelve interlocking concepts - is this: form is becoming that has acquired sufficient coherence to persist for a time. To exist is to maintain a difference through relation.The twelve concepts of the Qiosmotic grammar - field, difference, relation, boundary, resonance, coherence, threshold, selection, emergence, memory, transformation, dissolution - do not name one universal mechanism. They identify recurrent ontological problems that recur at every scale of reality, from the living cell to the civilizational threshold, while their mechanisms remain irreducibly scale-specific. This is Qiosmosis's central methodological commitment: one world, many regimes.The book proceeds in seven parts. Part I examines the crisis of the substance tradition and the inadequacy of the isolated object as a metaphysical starting point. Part II turns to the East Asian tradition of Qi - Zhuangzi, Zhang Zai, the Korean i/gi debates, embodiment, and cultivation - as a philosophical resource and a productive challenge to modern ontology. Part III confronts the scientific image of a processual world. Part IV states the formal ontology of Qiosmosis in twenty-eight axioms. Part V applies that ontology to time, life, consciousness, selfhood, and death. Part VI builds an explicit normative bridge to ethics through four Qiosmotic virtues: Seong (fidelity within relation), Myeong (situated clarity), Daam (the ethics of enough), and Attunement. Part VII asks what follows for technology, artificial intelligence, ecology, economy, institutions, and civilization.The third volume of the Qiosmosis trilogy. Companion to A New Foundation for Quantum AI and Quantum Computer Design (Vydor Books, 2026) and The Breath of Things: A Qiosmosic Theology of Quantum Reality and the Aesthetics of Becoming (Vydor Books, 2026).…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Korean Gutenberg That Never Was explores one of history's most profound 'what ifs.' In the mid-fifteenth century, King Sejong and Crown Prince Munjong unveiled Hunminjeongeum-not merely a script, but a philosophy of resonant intelligence. At the very moment Gutenberg's press was consolidating binary logic in Europe, Korea was experimenting with a triadic, embodied, and ethical design of literacy.This book argues that the suppression of Munjong's reforms-after his premature death-foreclosed a civilizational alternative. Had Korea's vernacular printing culture flourished, East Asia might have pioneered a media ecology organized around resonance rather than decision, coherence rather than calculation.Drawing on historiography (Croce's 'contemporary history,' Ferguson's 'virtual history'), philosophy (Lacoue-Labarthe's critique of typography), and cultural analysis, Giro-Kai Hong reinterprets Hangeul not as mere typography but as a civilizational counter-design.Why it matters today: In the age of artificial intelligence, when binary logic accelerates beyond human comprehension, the suppressed alternative of Hunminjeongeum speaks again. It reminds us that intelligence is not only calculation, but coherence.This is a book for readers of history, philosophy, and technology-those who suspect that modernity could have taken another path, and who wonder what lessons a forgotten Korean Gutenberg might hold for our AI-driven future.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Alphabet After the Machine asks a radical question: what happens to writing, language, and meaning once machines have perfected the alphabet For centuries, alphabets have been the invisible infrastructure of civilization-training thought into binary logic, enabling print culture, and ultimately giving rise to computation. Artificial intelligence is not alien; it is the culmination of this alphabetic trajectory. Yet as machines accelerate decision-making beyond human comprehension, societies face a crisis of coherence.This book argues that the alphabet, once humanity's greatest invention, has reached its exhaustion. What comes after is not more efficiency, but a rediscovery of resonance. Drawing on philosophy, media theory, and cultural history, Giro-Kai Hong explores suppressed alternatives-from Korea's Hunminjeongeum and its triadic logic, to music notation systems and embodied forms of literacy-that point toward a new civilizational design.Alphabet After the Machine is for readers of history, philosophy, and technology who sense that our current information order is unsustainable. It offers a provocative thesis: intelligence is not only calculation, but coherence. In the age of AI, the future of civilization depends on whether we can move beyond the alphabet into a new architecture of meaning. …

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. METHUSELAHS: AI-Augmented Wisdom and the Return to MagoSecond Edition - Revised & ExpandedWhat if the future belongs neither to machines alone nor to the young alone-but to elders whose long lives have ripened into wisdom?In this vastly expanded second edition of METHUSELAHS, Giro-kai Hong develops a bold philosophical vision of aging, artificial intelligence, memory, consciousness, and the future of civilization.At the center of the book is the idea of the Methuselah: not simply a person who lives longer, but a human being who has lived deeply enough to undergo a Second Cognitive Bloom-a later stage of life in which accumulated experience, pattern recognition, ethical judgment, and crystallized intelligence become a qualitatively new form of mind.Artificial intelligence, in this vision, does not replace the elder. It becomes the elder's cane: an instrument that extends memory, synthesis, recall, and cognitive reach while leaving wisdom, meaning, and judgment in human hands.Drawing on contemporary science, Korean cosmology, the Budoji, the concept of Bokbon or "Return to the Root," and Hong's Qiosmosic philosophy of resonance and becoming, the book imagines a post-AI civilization in which longevity matters only when added years become added depth.The Methuselah is not the person who merely survives longer.The Methuselah is the person who becomes more.
