Inject Your Preferences: Apps and Live websites

[Michael]

Yo,

Share what apps (right now I can do android, but learning) and websites you want live for a more or less permanent basis?

I've just spent a little time figuring out GitHub for the first time, easier than I thought.

That means, I'll be able to keep websites live indefinitely as long as GitHub remains available in a much more stable condition. 

Which one's do you want? I'm going through a phase where I'm testing out the coding abilities of AI, and with that, app and live website generation : now is the time to make requests, as it will only be for a few weeks or so most likely. So whether its the number series game, or some other, please let me know what your preferences are regarding previous applications I've made.

No guarantees, but feel free to share to share ideas as well across the spectrum cognitive training games and otherwise, for example just to encourage others, I just created my own personalized journal suited to my customized needs : for example, I have tabs that are sorted relative to my model of the mind and how my workflow streamlines rather than having to fit into some pre-furbished map that I have no control over. That's pretty cool for me, I've even added in a drawing entry option to every tab. My process is streamlined where I go from "Thought" to "Experiment" to "Adaptations", and I find that works pretty well for me. 

Best,

Michael

I don't know. I want to be a genius though. In whatever way is possible through online training

Genius really depends on four things (1) your own personal definition (2) your time in history (3) societies definition, which has only moderate value which is why it's not the only thing (4) sciences definition, again, moderate to high level but not total because it's seeking economically optimal understanding.

I would say, just my own 2 cents to give you some ground to work with, in today's age, genius is all about "how". Not "why" that dominates philosophy not "what if" that dominates sci fi, not "what" that dominates science, but "how", that's what more than anything else marries those 4 worlds. My answer is based on the fact that we live not in the tech era but more precisely, the AI era, and genius then, is about maximal leverage of this tool, which doesn't come from pure convergent but integration of lateral, divergent and synthesis based reasoning.

So, that's my 2 cents, with one principle that's primary there, and that is that as much as science is following an economic based optimisation function, so are our brains with respect to how it's training how we should process the world around us, which is why theres such a relativity to the end product of "genius", despite latent potentials. Another reason why my perspective integrates at the nexus of those 4.

My questions for you, are what does genius mean for you? And proportional to the amount you have that dream how can you ground that in a practical reality whereby you're still only led by your own vision which isn't dependent on the need for the approval, admiration or acceptance of the outside but instead by, simply appreciating and making the most of your own humble existence like all the rest of us, that's the secret to remember for our own unique paths for whatever we make of our own personal endeavours here.

That said, after you have answered this question for yourself, what are your ideas for how you can achieve this starting today? Doesn't need to be a grand gesture, but one gesture, leads you down your own path of independence, the sovereignty we are all gifted from birth, another practical reasons for looking after how our minds processes the world.

[Michael]

What I've decided to do regardless is create a cognitive benchmark site.

What I will do as well is reverse engineer latent 'process' of any one individual benchmark as a new take for how a user will reflect on any training they undertake on their default chosen training (i.e. meta-modelling).

I will create the github site by Sunday of next week, after which I will remain open to implementing improvements.

I got GPT5 now, yeah Claude just interestingly totally blocked me out and refunded my money at the same time they blocked me without my requesting, still pending feedback from them on the why heh! I'm a little proud of the fact that GPT5 fails miserably as well at improving not only my latest technique but just either (1) any of them (2) or coming up with anything that's truly original or even remotely close to being as good. Personally, I'd prefer it if it did come up with far better adaptations, but the over hyped reality of GPT5 despite what will be a site with cognitive benchmarks that will be easier for it to make, is just not the reality we live in, unless we take GPT's past stronger hallucinations as an analogy for accurate perception.

I'm not sure what benchmarks I'll have:

1. Backwards forwards digit span n-back makes sense

2. Basic number series n-back maybe

3. I should probably just include the most rudimentary digit spans as well because people love traditional measures as it's what they know?

4. Feel free to drop your benchmark or ideas in general before or after 

[Michael]

Draft: Cognitive Benchmark Site (GPT5).

I'll have to think pretty creatively between now and next Sunday, because GPT5 as I'm just now finding is just super, super good at re-creating pre-existing ideas. Genuinely impressed with its ability to implement pre-existing ideas, AI creativity will obviously take more time in my opinion. 

Try it out, all I simply asked GPT5 was this precise prompt "in HTML create a website that's designed to test a whole range of cognitive benchmarks and finish with an aggregate IQ score". 

And here was the result, again a reminder that only for a test run I've put it on codepen, the final site will be placed on a GitHub link that will always remain available for the end user for as long as GitHub remains accessible. 

https://codepen.io/qvmbioip-the-typescripter/full/ZYbJKjx

Between now and next Sunday (not this coming Sunday) I'll have to generate some new looks, at the very least decide whether or not to have the final 'aggregate IQ score' it spits out, which may or may not be accurate, I haven't put it through proper research filters yet. Best.

Rock out

[Michael]

"What I will do as well is reverse engineer latent 'process' of any one individual benchmark as a new take for how a user will reflect on any training they undertake on their default chosen training (i.e. meta-modelling)."

Aka what I'll be doing that hasn't been done before is not only mapping benchmark to hypothetical process (I.e. meta-modelling) but modelling each executive process to psychological outcome. This is the meeting ground between operational objective and methodological objective or fluid objective and executive objective. Very simply, it enables a user to generate more meta-feedback during the their training session on whether or not they're genuinely trying to max out their output. When we don't have many or sometimes, zero leads on feedback and we're just relying on our intuition, false confidence or just false measurements by our self-awareness are just naturally more common. For example, regarding the reaction time test, "Am I responding to right information as quickly as I can?" vs stroop test, "Am I noticing and responding to logical or stimulus conflict as quickly and as accurately as I can?". 

On the surface, this may seem pretty rudimentary, however when we measure what's going on underneath the hood and compare it with our psychology, we often mistake psychology with self and self with the experiences that are just simply biological outcomes, allowing distortions here far more likely to run rampant with Donald Trump being a great example here, despite many of his strengths. Thus, meta-feedback will act as a modelling between benchmark cognitive test as employed like the example site in the previous comment and self-monitoring of their same analogous operational objectives in the training technique (i.e.  meta-modelling), thereby creating an opportunity for the intersection between executive function self-monitoring and technique to be leveraged for max output. 

Breath-back variant of meta-modelling compared to Tiktok alone for example (see other thread to catch the line on meta-modelling), generally both requires and facilitates self-awareness, by not only being aware of the abstract mapping between measured benchmark cognitive process and self-monitoring of the optimal recruitment of underlying function their in training, self-awareness by its very definition is much less likely to self-hallucinate performance like a GPT does and instead make adaptations converted into meaningful gains within training sessions. That said, this is why it makes sense to be prudent about the composite of benchmark tasks employed so that we achieve that best conversion rate between abstract mapping between task and self-monitoring process. So again, either before or after "Sunday-Week", share whatever other tasks you can think of, take a gander at the cognitive benchmark site I made with GPT 5 just previous, and we'll move things to completion after this time and have something comprehensive with respect to both task and abstract mappings irrespectively. 

Thank you for your time, best wishes.

[Michael]

[ EDIT ] Dang phone.

Be as imaginative as you want.

I'm right now creating a syllogistic reading span test for example.

How I came up with this was by reflecting on when I trained on syllogisms a lot more some time back. One observation I made there was just the insane reading speed I had back then. I kid you not, I was reading and comprehensively synthesizing a book a day when I was really rocking it.

Lastly, what I'll be tweaking between now and the first iterative release is an aggregate self awareness score rather than an IQ score.

That's a lot more practical.

I'll promise to be more imaginative between now and the first release but it's totally true, with one caveat being that I trained with the associative pairing I've taught in the past, so not in the usual way.

[Michael]

Case Study Experimental Example - https://codepen.io/qvmbioip-the-typescripter/full/qEOXXXX

Let's see where it is by "Sunday-week". Otherwise thats it from me. As one self-awareness metric I add to the TikTok variant of meta-modelling, I only allow myself "one breath per video", any more time and I'm not placing enough pressure on myself as I'm more likely to overestimate how much time I need rather than underestimate. Moreover it's my backdoor self-awareness trick to get a reading on precisely how I'm performing in precisely the way I'm designing the performance metric of two posts ago. Intersecting reading span with syllogism span as an experimental progress metric with meta-modelling, is a solid, solid move in light of the progress I formerly made as expressed.

Let's see what the before and after will be

Best

[Michael]

Not words I never thought I'd express, but TikTok, albeit I am a new user, actually made me tear-up while meta-modelling. Its because you're analysing things on such a profoundly deep level, and pushing further, across parallel processing stretching however long your n-video-back is, picking up on and generating patterns on life and humanity at large. Combined with the automatic continuous self-questioning upon personal biases, inner conflict-stimulus resolutions and generalised perception, existentially, your identity has no choice but to evolve relative to the depth of the "complexity catharsis" that's achieved. Certainly one of the sub-goals of the action, it reflects high synergy as well between, cognition, emotion, identity and reality resolution routines. Haha. Peace out

That's a big hint to those interested in taking their training to the next level, start the learning curve today on meta-modelling. Rock out

[Michael]

Testing out GPT5's new 'agent AI' capacities.

To conclude in advance, this is the kind of task I'd be looking to incorporate as one of the benchmarks as a means of priming the right circuits in their personal learning phase of meta-modelling. 

Here's the best training task it could create in the mapping between relational reasoning and fluid intelligence and its subsequent training.

Any tuning that needs to be done will be completed by "Sunday-week" - https://codepen.io/qvmbioip-the-typescripter/full/dPYzJPW

An educational read below.

Here's the paper that the agent wrote.

https://chatgpt.com/s/6896da2c8f44819186ee2b0b3858562e

[Michael]

Yeah (see just above), this will likely be the best benchmark test and as stated, primer (or otherwise an actual genuine cognitive training task for beginners as some will certainly use it as, and that's perfectly fine of course).

We're all very lucky, this is great.

I'm forcing a user to choose 'match/no-match' as a way of forcing constant engagement. Learning curve will happen faster.

 Rock solid. 

[Michael]

I'll continue to improve any variant as I go along but please, share any errors, improvements however creative. Thank you!

[Michael]

Update/Repost ----> Apex will be ready to go in a few hours, more tweaks needed:

After being requested to provide some feedback on this variant, I have now created a permanently live site for Apex (with new updates) - https://ailivinlove.github.io/Apex/

You can just sit back, relax and let your imagination wonder now rather than having to stare at a screen. Moreover, I express this with the newly applied update of adding "Pause between relations in the same premise (ms): 6000" (a really great feature) as a customizable option for users now. I realise that before I should have added it, well, now I have. Please let me know if you'd like me to increase the customizability in any direction including adding more range to that timer. 

Let me know if you can spot any errors and I'll get right on it!

By the way, if anyone's looking for inclusions or adaptations to meta-modelling without a doubt the all in one package is definitely Apex 

You see I've thought about it a lot, and the only thing to really include that genuinely amps meta-modelling is cross-contextual reasoning and negation/contradiction. But they're so difficult to keep up, the fact that Apex has them already built in and there's only advantages to associating generated stimuli with the symbols of Apex, makes it not only a worthwhile inclusion but arguably a better or complementary primer to the matrices like relational reasoning game (which still needs to be improved in my view by the way) shared a few posts back. 

Best wishes, please share your own ideas with complete freedom, there's no need to hold back I'm open to anything and we'll soon have a full suite that's compact, organised and ready for deployment for everyone and anyone to use as a completely open source project.

Cheers!

God that was annoying heh, finally got it going, range of voices to choose from. Best. 

[Michael]

Voices need better alignment (male/female mixup in some instances) but overall not bad for Apex, otherwise I've changed time per trial to time per premise, I thought that'd make it flexible and easier. 

Any adjustments let me know, however practical the better, however creative though... the mind-blowing. 

Thank you for your time.

Best.

[Michael]

1. Logic of matches concerning Apex corrected. 
2. Will make all cognitive tests available on one GitHub hosted site 
3. Updates will still arrive until perfected following posting of first full draft

4. Will be continue to be open to alternate ideas / citing of errors

5. Will likely repost this thread after the first draft of the site has passed enough improvement feedback loops. 

Thanks!

This link will be updated as we move forward - https://ailivinlove.github.io/CogniVolution/

Real beginners struggling with Apex, I bring you "Imagi-world", a place that is for now the Instruction House for the relational mapping technique I created and have shared piecemeal before.

Genuine beginners to Apex and my mapping technique just jump straight to "Instructions" once you make your way to the link right below.

https://ailivinlove.github.io/Imagi-world/

The goal of my mapping technique which "Imagi-world" consolidates, is to convert imagination into a dual aim of relational reasoning training. I will go more into this Nov 1st. For those that believe themselves to be ready for Apex, please refer to the following link https://ailivinlove.github.io/Apex/ . Apex having now received a full redesign, is without a doubt next level and along with Imagi-world will be periodically updated between now and November 1st.

For any suggestions, improvements, feedback, etc, feel free to chime in.

I won’t be posting on November 1st.

I was going to make a deep theoretical post on relational reasoning in the context of ontological mapping in part as a way to motivate users. However I think these kinds of posts may just be a distraction.

I will continue to update Imagi-World and Apex as needed.

I’d love to hear about peoples breakthroughs concerning any of the applications in the future.’

Especially the changes you’ve personally noticed in yourself overtime. That’s the best way to motivate and create interest in this cognitive developmental path. As sharing your experiences indirectly mentors people through the struggles they face through the challenges. As you grow and change, your identity will shift and new aspects of your personality will reveal themselves. By journaling your changes and personal growth, it gives you an opportunity to help drive the curiosity of people in the future by establishing a vision they can follow and contribute to their own.

I’ve decided that in order to preserve the integrity of my own objectivity, I will refrain from sharing my own journey myself. I am open to alternative perspectives where annd if I’m available to comment at all, my rigidity won’t extend past simply doing what I think!properly serves a purpose. Instead I believe that where needed, I can just answer practical questions, upgrade the games and their directions, as well as be a partial guide where needed. Stay driven. Rock out. 

[Michael]

And when there’s more interest I’ll share more strategies that are investments in an easier time and playing while being more bang for your buck when it comes to training. Especially for Imagi-World intermediates, I recommend all things being equal outside of fertile/peak periods just jumping to Apex when you start your training and when it hits the right spot between you’ve had enough and experiencing enough variation in stimuli including the novel associations you generate, jump to Imagi-World. Imagi-World forces you to generate your own stimuli, that can naturally be difficult especially when you’re just starting out. Sure you can start off with known stimuli, “chair, car, car, comedy, etc”, however in order to grow, part of developing your pattern recognition is going to be in the invention of stimuli that all things being equal, you’ve never seen before and perhaps, is the first time a human has ever thought that thought, especially in its exact dimensions. 

Part of what I meant when I made the statement “new parts of your personality will emerge”, is because your ability to categorise your own states i.e. consciousness states, will be uniquely yours relative to your unique time in space given it’s you experiencing it at that position and your past experiences and ability to create future ones, uniquely defines that intersection which deserves its own personal language. This naturally evolves recursion from newly realised state to awareness to differentiate it to new personal language to self reference which impacts future patterns along and connected to the same path.  I won’t go deeper on that now, this is for your own personal discovery, I just wanted to cement the importance of the user in generating their own patterns, their own stimuli, as far and as wide as they want to take them, degrees of abstraction say is one axes among others that adds to ones training. 

By starting off with Apex, or reading a new book, reading lots of different research articles, you load and prime the subconscious mind with information to recall in your “medium-term-memory” (I’m surprised this isn’t a term) to forge novel associations both between those experienced stimuli relative to what’s recalled and your pre-existing static and creative memory that’s fluid with the prefrontal cortex say. Overtime, I will add more and more ranges of stimuli to Apex to make this more strategically viable. For now, you have the consistent variability in combined stimuli, the analogies you forge from the underlying patterns, and the meeting ground across n-level and number of premises. 

I will leave it there as a very brief introduction to strategic amplification of training that aids growth. When there’s more interest and people have invested the time to experience some growth to talk about, that will be a good time to drop back in and help extend the developmental vectors for training and chosen applications applications. Prior to that, let’s end this with a final note on “Logic can take you from A to B but imagination can take you anywhere”, and we alll know this quote. This may be true, however imagination relies on the bindings of logic, to see and reference the growth of imagination. They self-reference each others growth, and together, they grow the awareness that facilities new experiences for consciousness that help move us down our own unique evolutionary path. Perhaps an improvement to that quote, though who am I to correct Einstein, “Imagination may take us anywhere, but relationality (i.e. logic) of those experiences can take us everywhere”. This naturally connecting with Da Vinci’s “Everything connects with everything else”. Just to tie the knot on understanding by reminding us of great minds that RR be al to us through example what is possible for many more minds than what people would believe is possible.

Genuine journaling on potential intelligence growth therefore is not just the rigid procedural act of measuring and recording stats for cognitive metrics, that’s a vital focus, however it isn’t independent to changes in one’s psychology, from self awareness to stages of ego development to the ability in facilitating transcendent states. Other areas become intrinsically important because they become a part of the motivational recursion of training itself, imbuing it with the purpose that drives people to want to train and continue to train on the first place, transforming the primitivity of mere yard stick measurement and comparison, to a holistic effort where documentation more broadly benefits both the memory of self and the memory of the community progress and insights are shared with to transform a mere yard stick into its own sub-domain of human experience that intersects more than just multiple subjects of personal development. 

Cheers in advance when you’re ready to share an anecdote, it really helps the community and helps the people addicted to traditional n-back to move to its next evolutionary product, Imagi-World, and further, Apex. You’ll be doing them a favour by giving them a lighthouse to start thinking about, and it builds the in-roads as stated for what can progress perspectives in the future. Traditional n-back will always have its benefits, but those benefits are very limited, and the path is very certain now on what genuinely opens up the runaway in this area of personal development, relational reasoning, and I’ve attempted to add to that with what I believe to be a fuller answer to that connection by incorporating the imagination as a serious lever in the discussion.

Best.

[Michael]

My gut instinct is I just confused some people with the extra technique + theory [  I did it again  ] . It was an on the fly post on my miniature iPhone in a shopping mall. For those that the post genuinely reaches, the post is in your inbox anyway if you're subscribed to the group. For everyone else, I'll instead just change the Nov 1st date to Jan 1st, generating a post that synthesises everything into one clear introduction so there's no room for confusion. I'll undoubtedly come up with many other ideas between now and then that make that post certainly worthwhile. I do actually have a further extra technique beyond the one now in some users inbox which couples well in completing a curve that starts out emphasising bandwidth (unbounded patterned reasoning outside of pairing to a meta-loop), meeting in breadth of parallel relational narrative (unbounded narratives bounded by interconnected axes) and ending in the extra emphasis of compression (bounded synthesis based reasoning - introduced Jan 1st). Between now and then however I will also ground a training script from a beginners perspective in the same post, building a foundation on the intersection between n-back, consciousness streaming techniques and basic relational reasoning. This is foresight on reducing the signal to noise ratio concerning new readers to these ideas that are looking to build their understanding on how everything connects, building everything bottom up and ending with a cognitive 'price point', aka the practical level and kind of training beginners will need to have a reality check with themselves on if they want to make genuine progress rather than just 'dabble'. 

[Michael]

For intermediates (only) looking for one more solid jump right between Imagi-World and Apex. Follow the same exact process learned in imagi-world, when you're really solid at generating novel abstractions, associating them to the symbols and using the symbols as abstract not spatial directions in Imagi-World just as you will do in this newly made Imagi‑World +Plus https://ailivinlove.github.io/Imagi-World-Plus/ and analogously apply in Apex, then jump to it, not before. And once again, they're complementary (I rotate now, including on the newly mentioned technique that as stated in the prv entered your email and will be re-opened up for sharing January 1st - I've synthesised the abstract complements that makes it very difficult to ignore the argument for rotation) but once you've truly integrated Imagi‑World +Plus, you can let go of Imagi-World of course. We'll continue to solidify updates from experimentation between now and then for all variants with no exception to Imagi-World +Plus. Give the n-logic-matches at least a 'rough week' before correct logic-matches are solidified for +Plus, and yeah, that timer is a bit out right at the beginning, that'll come good. It's not smart of me to tinker around with the original beginners Imagi-World too much, keep it as a beginners white belt, then just have the green belt (+Plus) as its own unique option. I'm not going to bother explaining or adding instructions to +Plus, you should have learned that in Imagi-World and if you haven't engaged with them, you don't understand how to do +Plus. However I will mention one thing that isn't obvious to our learned folk, using "C rotate 45 U from E" that 45 is of course '45 degrees'. Yes, you've got that right for those in the know, this one's a real abstract head spinner heh, as it should be to prep for Apex's harsher Jupiter orbit and Mars habitation. Avoid assumptions. Best wishes, and that'll do me until Jan 1st. I'm not unhappy with this share, its a solid. The previous share though would just confuse true beginners, and I think paving a harsher environment for Imagi-World smooths out confusion on the jump between Imagi-World and Apex. Good luck space cadets.

[hello how low]

Michael, do you have ideas how to improve ones working memory capacity? I've been stuck doing Dual 3-Back for an enormous amount of time. My corsi span is 5-6 and digit span is 5.

[Michael]

Go here "hello how low" to practice Imagi-World:  

https://groups.google.com/g/brain-training/c/QjO9e7N2n8s/m/2PI3W8fTAAAJ

I've got more goodies coming in January 1st that I've never shared, it'll be a level between Imagi-World and Imagi-World Plus that is arguably definitely better than the latter right now. However "Plus" is obviously purely in experimental mode and I think that, even though this other variant that's newly coming has a colossal engine, "Plus" will probably end up with a much higher ceiling. By the way for all the Imagi-World users, Imagi-World is still extremely valuable even when you dial down the abstraction. Because its so adaptive, you can take a subject from scratch, like martial arts, and just start associating moves while you're practicing martial arts with the letter and watch yourself generate new moves by comparison, contrast and juxtaposition, essentially learning a subject from the ground up as an echo to the transformations  (associations to letters to operations between letter-association pairings) generated across trials. Go from martial arts, to poetry to advanced math; its really up to you, and its an advantage you're given if choose to give yourself that positive leverage against an alternate self that didn't get the same opportunity with only a bit of practice.

That said, Imagi-World has no ceiling concerning abstract pairings, only with the complexity of parameters, the world of Imagi, really is up to the world of your imagination and how daring your will is to abstract connections at that height. Otherwise this next level between Imagi-World and Plus will just reflect a tightening of reasoning parameters that force interplay between reasoning across nuances and reasoning gymnastics. In the first instance with Imagi 1, we have complexity arising from analogical juxtaposition, from the second let's call it for now Imagi 2, arises from analytical juxtaposition and from the third, where Plus is heading slowly towards more perfected territory, complexity arises from transformational juxtaposition. Imagi 1 sets the abstract tone, Imagi 2 takes that learned associative abstraction and forces you to become an engineer in your transpositions, and then the third loosens the grip a little bit while leveraging your analytical lessons learned to hone your attention towards ascending your abstract capacities where you didn't hit them with Imagi or the next; so forcing higher abstraction if you weren't already there in your letter-associative pairings. Just a draft (for example I haven't brought up Apex as you can see), and I'm probably only 15% there, it'll be a lot of fun to share on January 1st.

Best wishes, no more questions answered until Jan 1st,

Michael

Michael, I think I accidentally sent you a private message instead of public one

[Michael]

No problem howdy, best of luck in your progress to level 7 as you say sir! Aim for tiny progress each 1-3 days. And be excited for each of those moments. Don't expect anything more. In doing so, you'll not only keep up with your training. You'll vastly exceed any alternative expectations you may have otherwise set. Including those when our expectations are set too high, making recovery from doubt more difficult. By obsessing over small progress, you become a genius at progression. And before you know it, you've not only exceeded external expectations, you've exceeded your own. And the latter, that will bring you more satisfaction from the endeavour than anything else. Obsession with triviality in improvement feedback loops, is the attention to detail that leads to the breakthrough you least expected.

(apologies for typos heh! ~ Rebooted ~)

And just to add (post just prv.), hopefully its useful and for anyone just tell me if its not:

Have a vision for your life (and or dream) not a fixed vision for your training or destination from training. Determine squarely how the training fits in with your vision for your life (i.e. where you want to be in the future), accurately, and you’ll give yourself the best chance for success in both. A vision for training falls into alignment, flexibly from that point, that way you can adjust training as needed to serve your more important life vision that brings genuine meaning to your existence. If you make training an end unto itself however, it opens the chances of future regret for time wasted by a pretty wide margin. 

See for me, my concern was healing from my seizures amidst the undercurrent of my epilepsy, so my vision for training fell into alignment with that desire for healing. If I prioritised a vision for training instead that wasn't in alignment with my vision for life, or instead pushed myself because of a vision I had  purely for cognitive training, there's going to be a misplacement of priorities and because of that, a missing of opportunities for things that were actually meaningful, and each of us have different metrics for what we gauge as genuinely meaningful or less meaningful. And anecdotally at present, yes, my training is helping me recover a little more each day, in alignment in the same way I described it in my previous post, and here, adjusting my training and its potential for improvement, to fall in alignment with that and other visions I have. 

As a starting rubric for those that struggle building a life vision or developing any kind of dream for what they want to accomplish, what tends to work for me is this five-pronged approach, sometimes even less in the case of just recovering from seizures as I say:

(1) What impact does the vision have from the vision looking back (i.e. stable life? better social network? living longer? helping others?)?

(2) How does the vision make me feel having in the moment and across time compared to other visions? 

(3) Who and what is the vision genuinely serving in the moment and from the future looking back?
- Now this is a different question to the first. This is where I would place the vision for example of healing from my seizures. And if I can say, come up with slight or better improvements for those that manage epilepsy, then in part but not yet proven to myself, I can then say the vision is also in service to other people struggling with epilepsy, and that's when the vision would start to then have a chance of meaningfully overlapping with and potentially being one of the visions, for question one.

(4) How does this vision actually lead to better enabling me to take in more and the most of life for what little time I have in this existence?

(5) Are you prepared to die for this vision? 

- This is somewhat of a controversial question, and for that reason I don't want to create much of a dialogue on it, I will however just say that there is a "common-sense" element to it that I think most people can relate to, and therefore where the value is from that question, is where a person with a common-sense perception will take away and be able to meaningfully apply to their lives and their quest to designing meaningful life visions for themselves. 

This is why a vision for cognitive training becomes just one of the pieces of the puzzle, however core that piece of the puzzle is, that falls into alignment with these higher visions, even if its just one genuinely meaningful and well-thought out vision someone has created for themselves.

Level 8 is now live.

Likely the last addition. 

After enough training on level 8 you should be more than capable to make the recursive training purely internal. 

Dynamic recursive complexity over at least two (trial + session) temporal spaces  is what you're after for a full internal suite, which I have not yet personally mastered and I doubt any human really has, moreover once you can you'll be able to establish much more temporal space depth. This makes level 9 redundant, and increasing number of levels should be economical.  

Level 8 is true inventors territory.

Navigated through main interface, button named "Da Vinci does Imagi-world"  has now been newly added.

After becoming a comfortable beginner, learn to apply cross-domain reasoning process.

Facilitates user generated analogical patterns that remain novel and non-memorisable via cross-domain emphases, Da Vinci inspired of course. 

As levels increase, it becomes increasingly more difficult not to generate novel and non-memorisable patterns,  these two strategy-silencing features are integral to any serious cognitive training approach. 

Level 9 is just for play in modelling the limits of Da Vinci's cross-domain abilities via operational transformation (mappings), however who knows, by January 1st it may very well become a level that's taken seriously after enough mastery or at the very least, a novel way to approach level 9, and perhaps even level 8, is achieved and or invented.

I procrastinated a lot and didn't start practicing. Mainly because I was afraid of doing not very well(I have a rough idea of ​​how to handle it, but it was still challenging).

This exercise isn't easy for me yet, but I've already gone from 20 seconds to 15. I do it for short periods of 10-20 minutes, not every day. I hope to get more involved in the practice in the future, as I find it interesting and unique. So far, there haven't been any changes; obviously, I haven't been practicing enough. But sometimes when I hear a word or concept, I want to run it through the Imagi-Compass.

That's all for now, more to come.

[Michael]

Hi Howdy,

For my epilepsy (impacts of seizures not necessarily susceptibility to seizures), I train for at least 2 hours a day now. 

Yes Howdy, I wouldn't recommend increasing the levels until you're able to complete the lower levels at 3 seconds or below. Believe me, you will continue to notice a considerable difference the closer you get there. The difference between solving them between 3 seconds and 1 seconds has many real world consequences that I take seriously as well. 

Recent updates have occurred just now I'm sure some will appreciate. 

Best wishes Howdy.

Michael

Hi, Michael. Yes, I'll increase the time, but I'm also doing popular things like RRT, N-Back, CCT (Apasat), and Posner. I didn't do it in one day, I spread it out over the week.
It’s hard for me to even imagine how a person can do this in 1-3 seconds for a long time (1-2 hours). For me, it now seems exhausting and intense

Have you now decided to implement all your ideas in one application (will the apex ideas be the highest levels here)?

[Michael]

That's great Howdy, I wish you well in all endeavours. Otherwise, only if you're willing I'm sure everyone would love to learn what other kinds of RRT (relational reasoning training - if I have your right) you're doing, perhaps they'd be useful ideas to implement in some way into Imagi-world. Also if you have any connections or ideas you'd like to share that you believe may be compatible with Imagi-world either as a part of or as a separate level to imagi-world please do share.

As it stands, Imagi-world is in its totality grounded in generating premises that test and train relational reasoning across n-back levels, it will not stretch outside this inclusive of the Da Vinci styled cross-domain mapping that as stated is a core foundation to the training itself, something that I'd argue accounts for at least 50% of potential benefits after enough fluency is reached. Concerning Apex, at present, it seems an endeavour that lives outside the threshold right now of not only most people but practically including it beyond mastering Imagi-World as a game, in my understanding of its theory and in bringing them together as a modality for cognitive training. So for now, Apex will be revisited next year, but will remain accessible to train on at its present state between now and when I re-begin its implementation as a potential candidate for stretching our brain whiskers. 

Furthermore, for anyone that has any potential ideas they believe may be candidates for improving Imagi-world, again we'd all love to hear.

Thank you for your time Howdy.

Michael

Sorry by the way Howdy i just noticed that the game has a few bugs since the last update. I’ll fix parts of it tonight and if I haven’t got all of it done I’ll be making sure I continue to play around with it a lot over the next few days anyway to make sure that this final update is complete. Rest assured, there definitely won’t be anymore major changes so this won’t happen again until after Jan 1st.

P.S. For myself I’m sticking to the 'Beta' level for now, it’s more than enough. The leap to later stages is like arithmetic versus algebra; mastering more premises first builds the essential foundation for that complexity. My current goal is shifting from 3 to 4 premises per 'n'. Only after hitting sub-8 seconds on n-3-back will I prioritise the advanced levels, with the larger goal of 4 premises, sub-2 seconds on 8-n-back. Just because I can do the higher stages doesn't mean I should more than incremental attempts; like physical training, scaffolding must come before heavy lifting.

[Michael]

NOTICE: SYSTEM STATUS & PROTOCOL ADDENDUM

1. Service Continuity: Access is contingent on GitHub platform stability; recent outages are transient, when they occur expect them to resolve typically within one hour, at most a day or so however I've never experienced any outages more than an hour.

2. Patch Deployment: At most, without as promised creating updates that impact the underlying structure of the game nor with any deployment of new levels, there are as I'm sure some would have noticed, minor updates that are needed but not life and death at this stage with its present state more than manageable. I.e. latency artifacts causing the clipping of initial phonemes (specifically "A"). Again, per Beta stipulations, fundamental game architecture will remain immutable for promised availability; updates are restricted to minor optimizations like these.

3. Protocol Variant (Kinetic Transduction aka via stenographers 1963 data writer): Users are advised to integrate a supplementary protocol at lower complexity levels (K=1/2). Upon receipt of a premise, immediately execute a blind-typed transcription of the conceptual transformation (Reminder of cross-domain 'Da Vinci' method as I've so far spun it, let's hope not too gimmicky: e.g., Premise 'Spark' [Physics]  -> North -> 'Riot' [Sociology]; Logic: Physical Ignition  -> Social Combustion; Typed Output: "The localized thermal burst scales into systemic political fire"). This means you're acting like a stenographer in a court-room typing out whatever amounts of the imaginative structures constructed in your mind per premise, and if you can, across n-levels. Again, its as simple as sitting down at your keyboard and typing out exactly what the transformation is instead of just thinking in your head; I do sessions with and without the typing. syntactic structure of the output must strictly mirror the logical vector of the premise (e.g., a "North" vector mandates an ascending or intensifying cross-domain analogical structure), thereby enforcing a zero-latency coupling between semantic working memory and motor output. On top of the Da-Vinci method, this technique... Is a massive game-changer. You're getting live feedback on progress from session to session and you're undoubtedly improving your thoughts process along the way. This is precisely the alternative protocol you want when it comes to measuring cognitive gains when IQ testing is either supplementary, in the future or not an option. This is considerably more difficult and superior in many ways to simply playing the game in one's head as I do say, meaning I don't even input any responses I just listen to the audio while walking around nature as I've shared, that said I believe in the regimen of including both for complementary effects. The benefit of changing environments at the very least. You're a stenographer taking in the passages of both plaintiff and defendant while acting as the judge at the same time transforming arguments towards the most logical resolve through the voice... Picasso say, exercising both those hemispheres rigorously, training the mind to advance both simultaneously; I do wonder what results I would get and what it would be like to train while underneath a brain scanner nonetheless.

Arguably, this is better than the Christmas gift I had in store, that said those extra levels will become 'un-lockable' game levels following mastery. If you want something different and the majority of people agree with the alternative like implementing full user customisability, then I'll change it. My own judgement at present however is to stick with a methodology that reinforces incremental advancement based on the understanding that lower levels are no lower than higher levels, a user is merely building the substrates necessary for higher levels and therefore just as valuable.

Enjoy your Christmas!

And prepare your new years resolutions (though I know some don't like em and that's fine too of course)!

[howdy]

Hi, Michael. How do you keep doing the exercise for so long? I often experience frontal-parietal cortex pain after. Maybe it's overexertion, and I'll have to remove other cognitive exercises. Or I'll have to gradually get used to doing Imagi-World every day, for example, starting with 10 minutes and increasing to 40 minutes in a month, adding 1 or 2 minutes each day. I started learning programming, and I'll be spending more time on Imagi-World specifically.

I won't make any suggestions for improving the imagi-world yet, as I am not qualified enough to assess what it needs. I think that after spending 100 hours on it, I will be able to say something, and after reading studies on brain training programs, I will be able to draw some conclusions. Unfortunately, I don't have the time or desire to do that yet (read studies).

What I also like about Imagi-World is I can replace Space-2D mode that I'm doing in syllogisms v3. Of course, nonsense words are used there, but I'm not sure about the idea of adding it to imagis — one letter seems to be enough.

Hi Howdy,

Morning = best as you have the most energy.

Night = better for shorter sessions that amplify consolidation as close to sleep where you integrate changes most. 

If you really want to incorporate something more lateral, reduce seconds per trial until you no longer have enough time to rehearse premises while you're still able to figure them out. Gains from rehearsing stimuli are unproven, and as it concerns training for lengthy periods rehearsal undoubtedly saps energy faster. Avoid rehearsal all together or rely on that happening more naturally by simply reducing time per trial where it's not too difficult to solve but too difficult to rehearse while also solving. Now here's the unexpected novel kicker I came up with, now that your phonological loop (what psyche nerds call the thing in working memory that you use to hold and in this case rehearse auditory/verbal information) is all freed up, leverage that open channel to now instead rehearse the vision for why you're training (see a few posts back where I brought that up) that's going to motivate you most to get over the line. Even though my trials are now only 3 seconds each, that's what I'll be able to do across the entire session, and this phonological rehearsal of vision/identity during is an idea I only thought in coming up with a solution for you, so cheers sir ha!

Anything further I'll respond after the new year! 

Best regards.

[Michael]

Now on 1 sec per trial, even if yeah, there’s some struggles but not too much that I shouldn’t.

Emergently (not a word? Should be), what ive realised as well in training like this, it’s a reminder how logic itself. It’s perceptual. Not linguistic. The fact that it’s phonological just tricks us into perceptually categorising the information on an experiential level outside the perceptual. That said, in the absence of rehearsal, to me it’s bypassing that artificial linguistic barrier that may not only not be of any great benefit (aka rehearsal), it may be reducing potential gains by not focusing on the fundamental pre-lingual elements of fluid intelligence (outside of purist working memory). And that’s a good achievement given the premises themselves are lingual, we’re successfully translating them into pre-lingual transformations through imagi-world (da Vinci) process the more the novel the stimuli and or associations are. At 1 second, which by the way it’d be irresponsible of me to recommend this path to anyone it’s just theoretical right now so we’ll see how it goes first, I really feel like my brain is pruning away all the crystallised elements of training and forcing the most core elements of fluid intelligence take reach. This was the goal of Apex as well, it mirrors Apex in many respects now, however as stated imagi world even in its Beta version may be much better now given the extra (Da Vinci method, perfecting timing and load) elements have now been refined and plus youve got the working memory kid that you’re purely mapping to. Let’s see where I am Jan 1st aye.

I’ll have a deeper introspection to share by then, remember though that beyond this level now concerning timing of stimuli and ideas about what’s engaged more, it’s purely theoretical, and something I wouldn’t give any further credibility to workout the experimental research, even at the very least personal experimentation. Because at the end of the day as well, each persons training needs to be calibrated to them, for some people, 1 second per trial may be a seriously bad idea, others however it may be that sweet spot. There is no shame in longer speeds, personally, I find that my patience, deeper reflection and even a better memory follows when I’m stressing longer times per trial. What matters is that their personal grit is focused in the right direction and amplitude, with accurate adaptions based on the feedback they get from their own experiences to improve their approach to training. Think in trade off ratios while not being too literal either remembering that it’s not always going to be linear like that. 

Best regards.

Howdy,

I figured something something else out on your question by the way mate that now also helps me so I’ll share it with yah, maybe it helps others as well aye.

So here’s what most people fundamentally miss when it comes to, well I won’t dive too deep I’ll keep it short and sweet unless there’s any follow-ups, and that is, people literally forget who they are for brief moments during the day and this naturally carries over to challenging tasks where our Wills are tested.

Logic = testing our personal will saps more energy -> more likely m leads to identity fractures both from the test and the increased loss of energy. During cognitively complex tasks, this is even more likely compared physical challenges because more of our mental bandwidth is already being used up by comparison. However, testing wills is incredibly important for identity development becsuse your identity plays at least 25% or higher of a role when it comes to your personal grit on cognitively complex tasks like this training, thus the forgetting of identity during challenges has pros and cons relative to its relationships to the challenge. If you’re leveraging it to perform better, then forgetting it while actually remembering who you want to be or have been, becomes a strategic motivational advantage. Conclusion, the optimal time for positively reinforcing who we want to be and or become is during physical exercise because:

 (1) consolidating experiences of success during physical exercise, especially rehearsal of identity, can be leveraged in other areas where motivation and extended grit are importantly.

(2) your mental bandwidth is completely free to stress test and expand your perception of identity by testing the limits of your belief in who you are on extremely simplistic tasks. The simpler the task the better because the easier the task the more success you’ll have and therefore the more reward you’ll be able to associate with the new/pre-existing aspect or whole identity you’re rehearsing and stretching during the physical exercise. Literally just doing squats while rehearsing some randomly thought of identity like “I believe in growth” (customise for you), and pushing through the pain barriers of that exercise is going to result in forming melodies where you remembered how you pushed through those pain barriers and therefore can replicate it in a different situation, especially in a more cognitively complex task where you have much less cognitive bandwidth to dedicate to that kind of affirmation during. Haha, that said, for those trying to get confident by doing an IQ test to validate their intelligence it’s probably better to build your confidence through simple exercises like this beforehand and you’ll likely perform at least a few IQ points higher than you might otherwise would have becsuse subconsciously, the memories of past personal inner drive are at least partially on auto pilot by comparison. 

So Howdy, thats honestly in my opinion going to be the fastest path to doing extended cognitive training sessions per day. Combine the identity testing and motivational vision you have during the exercise. Make sure the exercises are as simple as possible, at least to begin with. And literally every rep snd set, you’re teaching your mind that this is the new/re-consolidated identity you’re now going to align with. And I have far more confidence in this area than many areas, thats as good as gold Howdy if you can do that. Simply doing the extremely simple physical exercise through pain barriers is enough to convince your mind that you can apply that to other areas like extended cognitive training sessions, as well as being the best time to encode those memories so they become easier to recall during cognitive training sessions should you need them to push you to go on further. Small caveat, in my experience although there are exceptions to the rule, this is something you kind of at least need to do “every other day”, because like I said our brains do forget, even if some of our cells remember (for example go back to earlier times in your life where you’ve been really motivated, meditate on that energy and practice leveraging that energy in other areas), degeneration is a natural part of our cycle for better and for worse as stated, so we have to use the forgetting curve on identity to our advantage, and this is precisely how anyone can successfully do it.

Cheers for helping me figure tho is one out Howdy!

Enjoy the rest of your year mate.

Thank you, Michael, the advices sounds HUGE. I will try to set 10 hours for training over the next 7-10 days and will write feedback later with my observations and experiences. Or if I have an interesting question for you, I'll write it here.

[Michael]

Go for it!

[howdy]

I actually read your post on Wholsome training, I think it's really helpful and it resonated with me. I feel kinds of inhibitions within myself, and I need to get rid of them. Of course, there are all kinds of genetic limitations (we are all different), but one shouldn't limit himself with thoughts, feel more ease, approach things with interest and enthusiasm.

THANKS.

Some pretty cool things happen with enough training!

Something I have learned through experience concerning what I noted earlier regarding having a vision for oneself.

In today’s age, as technology grows and grows and people become more and more reliant the gravity of challenge that forces the spirit within to reveal itself is substituted for a container of weightless protection that can only lead to regression of the body that was meant to reveal it.

This regression becomes the erosion against a rock that was made to be turned into a sculpture rather than merely the sediment that returned to the ocean. A revelation that revealed the truth of who a being was underneath, making their spirit not the personification of perfection but unmistakingly a reflection of who the being is, which the sculpture brought clear sight to through its definition. So it is not even necessarily about having a vision of reaching one’s grand potential, as that is endless and never sufficient, but the discovery of who one is inside the small brief of time alotted within the potential that they are given. This when I speak of vision, although I say this with respect of one’s own journey as I am only speaking of my own personal life experience, a being is to set the vision on the self, the spirit, that is already there, weighed against challenges that are merely for the being to better see their own reflection. Not covered up by fat, not covered up by a mind that has become too fragile to see itself in another persons eyes or that hides from the truth much more it’s discovery, not hidden by conformity within a group nor isolation from healthy influence, not absorbed by any fruit or poison of addiction much worse those set as traps of self-distraction, nor not told who to become or what to be contrary to one’s own self-understanding that drives further carving out not in of those edges. When a being thats fat exercises, slowly overtime they discover the physical body that lives underneath. This is what the essence of Mr. Olympia was meant to be about but it has lost its way into absurdity. Much like the rest of infected demographics, including transhumanist movement losing their essence in leveraging technology towards power and influence, more than prioritising the relationship between leveraging technology and providing solutions to human problems over measures of population control. The fight! The human fight! Is on the unearthing of the truth within, not to be obscured or courted by deceptions that have only infected a mind through its own weakness. Challenge therefore, is not an instrument for the brave, but an instrument for the bravery that lives within everyone, to carve out the reflection, of who they are for everyone to see, with the physical body used as an analogy of every other aspect of oneself. To allow a vision paired with challenge to be anything other than what becomes self-revelation (i.e. become who one is not), is to forget, dismiss or be oblivious to the aspect of oneself that awaits to be revealed after the challenge is won, or at least learned from. For, who is truly the one that has won at the end? It only reveals a self that has become fractured where the challenge won now becomes leveraged to hide that aspect. And who is the one that has learned if not themselves? Only one deceives themselves of that which they are not until the self recognises this? The right challenge, forces the spirit within to reveal itself and taken with it to its full completion, as nothing can be carried through the fight that does not weigh more than their essence nor any less than the weight that contributes to the full force that takes them to their winning, or again, their humble learning. Learning too, which is the consolation prize that only continues life forward, more than the regression from the learning that is not conquered, because one has given up or given in. Concession is fine when done wisely, but any instrument is only as wise as it moves the weight of the true life within that seeks to be it’s full life, forward, into this life, or the next. 

Physical degeneration and its diseases, is just a good of an analogy as the degeneration of the brain and its diseases. Dementia and alzheimers believe it or not, are leading causes of death, even more so than its interrelated counterpart, obesity. What greater poetic understanding are we left with in taking in the above than the loss of not just the life but the spirit that has been revealed through a persons trials and tribulations through the slow deterioration of the minds mental faculties, all of their memories and ability to properly connect their life with another? Mental exercise has already shown to build up superior cognitive reserves in a similar way to physical well being. But both have shown that this must be continued in order for a being to continue to live into their old age, to be nothing other than the expression of their true selves. For when we are all on our deathbeds, who do we want to connect with other than the connection with the self that knows another and they us? And may this truth alone, reveal how a vision is to be created honestly, and aligned with truth. Truth, which will always be a challenge, and so will always be, it’s crafting of who we always were at the core of our potential. 

Just my life experience.

Best rgeards
