  19. 19. 28 July 2020 B/CI Cloudmind 18 Neural Signaling  Neurons send and receive signals  To send a signal, an axon transmits information from the neuron to neighboring neurons  To receive a signal, a neuron’s dendrites receive information sent by the axons of other neurons  Neuronal signaling is both electrical and chemical  Electrical: Axons transmit electrical pulses called action potentials which travel along the axon like a wave  Action potential is a short electrical pulse that is 0.1 V in amplitude and lasts for one millisecond  The action potential is sent along the axon to the axon terminals in the synaptic nerve endings, from which the axon contacts the dendrites of other neurons Source: Nicholls et al. From Neuron to Brain 5th Edition. Sunderland MA: Sinauer Associates, Inc., 2012.
  20. 20. 28 July 2020 B/CI Cloudmind 19 Neural Signaling  Synapses  Pre-synaptic terminal on the outbound neuron  Post-synaptic terminal on receiving neuron dendrites  Synaptic cleft (20 nm gap between them)  Chemical: Electrical action potential transmitted along the axons cannot bridge the synaptic cleft  Converted for transmission across the synaptic cleft between one neuron’s axon and another’s dendrites into chemical messengers called neurotransmitters  Chemical neurotransmitters are stored in vesicles (spherical bags) in the synaptic terminal at the nerve ending to be available for release across the synaptic junction
  21. 21. 28 July 2020 B/CI Cloudmind 20 Neural Signaling  Pre-synaptic terminal  Arrival of an electrical action potential  Voltage-gated calcium channels open  Disgorge calcium into the terminal bulb  Synaptic cleft  Calcium triggers synaptic terminal-based vesicles to release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft  Neurotransmitter diffuses across the gap in less than a millisecond  Post-synaptic terminal  Neurotransmitter activates membrane receptors in the dendrites of the receiving neuron Source: Shepherd, G.M.

  48. 48. 28 July 2020 B/CI Cloudmind 47 Peak Performance Cloudminds  Instantiating well-formed groups  Forming-storming-norming-performing (Tuckman, 1965)  Group individuation (Simondon, 2005)  Transparent decision making (Kashtan, 2014)  Overcoming barriers to large-group collaboration  The three “C”s  Credit assignment: track seamlessly with blockchains  Coordination: multi-thread human capacity into a coherent whole with “mission control” type participation of experts  Communication: reduce misunderstanding to an interoperability issue in the digital thought environment  IPLD for the Brain
  49. 49. 28 July 2020 B/CI Cloudmind 48 Thought Interoperability  Digital environment of B/CI cloudminds  Log activity for credit-assignment and privacy protection  Enforce format compatibility  No transaction can enter the B/CI system without being in a compliant format  Implication: ideas brought into greater alignment from the beginning based on the way that they are presented  Formatting standards produce interoperability  Reduce the possibility of misunderstanding  Improve the ability to collaborate ideas
  50. 50. 28 July 2020 B/CI Cloudmind 49 Merkle Root Data Structures  A Merkle root is a top-level hash (64-character code) that calls an entire underlying data structure  Example: One top-level Merkle root calls the entire Bitcoin blockchain data structure of all transactions  636,000 transaction blocks (each with a few thousand transactions) since inception (Jan 2009) as of Jun 2020  Implication: one top-level Merkle root can call entire data corpora  All Github code, all Pubmed publications  All human knowledge (digitally encoded)  An entire brain or cloudmind (brain of brains) Source: btc.com (Bitcoin transaction blocks)
  51. 51. 28 July 2020 B/CI Cloudmind 50 IPLD (InterPlanetary hash-Linked Data structure)  IPLD: data standard for digital corpora  An internet-wide file system in order to access compatibly-addressed content  The data standard calls content in any internet- based data structure (e.g. Github, Pubmed)  URL links are hashed for data security and to provide the interoperable format  Other Protocol Labs projects  IPFS (InterPlanetary File System)  Zero-knowledge proofs of time and space  Proof of providing storage resources  A certain amount of space for a certain amount of time  Proofs denominated in computational complexity Sources: Protocol Labs; Bear, G. (1985). Eon; Wright, J.C. (2012). The Hermetic Millenia. Call the entirety of the world’s knowledge with one Merkle root; a “data pillar” (Bear, 1985) with “library smarts, datasphere smarts” (Wright, 2012)

Technology and Society Magazine 34(4):41-52  A brain is a Merkle forest of ideas  A group of Merkle trees, each calling an arbitrarily-large thought trajectory  Brain DAC II: IPLD for the Brain  Thought content compatibility through multi-hash protocols and Merkle roots  Blockchain overlay realizes B/CI cloudminds through secure thought interoperability between minds  IPLD is an overlay for the web; IPLD for the Brain is an overlay for cloudminds  Brain DAC I  Instantiate thinking in a blockchain IPLD for the Brain
  53. 53. 28 July 2020 B/CI Cloudmind  Agenda  Part 1: Neuroscience Basics  The Brain  Neural Signaling  Part 2: Nanorobots  Medical Nanorobots  Neuronanorobots  Neurocurrencies  Part 3: B/CI Neuronanorobot Network  BioBlockchain Neuroeconomy  IPLD for the Brain  Conclusion 52 Quantum Computing 3. Application
  54. 54. 28 July 2020 B/CI Cloudmind 53 Risks and Limitations  “No neural dust without neural trust”  B/CI platform non-starter if cannot develop sufficient user trust in the platform; phased migration with roll-back  Hardware trust: nature’s quantum security principles  Software trust: blockchain cryptographic features  B/CI is a speculative technology without immediate practical development possibilities  Technical: neuron firing rate 4 x second x 86 billion neurons  Feasible: unpalatability of implanted nanorobots in brain  Proposals are ill-founded, infeasible, or inaccurate  Arrival sequence of advanced technologies  Non-invasive digital brain copies become possible first
  55. 55. 28 July 2020 B/CI Cloudmind 54 Conclusion  The B/CI is a technical platform for the brain  Aim: enact more meaningful, rewarding, fulfilling lives  Quantum computing  Direct mapping from real-life to computational representation  Nature’s built-in quantum mechanical security features  Key application: neural networks and machine learning  Holographic control theory (AdS/CFT correspondence)  Universal control lever between macroscale-quantum domains  Gauge theory (gauge-gravity duality) subatomic processing  IPLD for the Brain Bio-blockchain  Top-level Merkle root calls entire underlying data structure  Computational verification (zero-knowledge proof technology)
  56. 56. 28 July 2020 B/CI Cloudmind 55 B/CIs (brain/cloud interface technologies) are a next-generation technology needed 1. (short-term) to cope with the modern reality of science and technology outpacing biology 2. (long-term) to enable new physical and mental resource coordination capabilities to evolve towards a Kardashev-plus society (marshalling tangible and intangible resources on a beyond- planetary basis) Thesis
