Nature本源之位面
The plane of Nature is the source. The other four planes are derivatives. Aristotle named it the prime mover — the first cause from which all subsequent motion follows. Twenty-three centuries later, Edward Witten showed that the five competing string theories are different presentations of a single eleven-dimensional structure he called M-theory. Same instinct, different vocabulary: under all this multiplicity, one substrate.
Three claims define the plane. One: the universe has an ultimate law, expressible if at all in mathematics so compressed that it can be written on a t-shirt. Two: the brain has a universal algorithm — a single learning procedure that, given different sensory streams, produces vision, language, navigation, and theory of mind from the same circuitry. Three: artificial intelligence will converge on an ultimate algorithm — not because of engineering taste, but because the underlying structure of cognition admits very few real solutions.
"ONE ABOVE ALL · ALL AT ONCE" is the slogan. The metaverse, in its serious sense, is not a Zuckerberg product. It is the technological echo of the original substrate — a layer on which everything that is, is computed at the same level of reality. The pre-Socratic question and the post-Witten question are the same question. The plane is named Nature because nature is what the substrate is, before it differentiates into anything else.
自然之位面即本源。其余四个位面皆为派生。亚里士多德称之为"不动的推动者"——第一因,后续一切运动由此而出。二十三个世纪后,爱德华·威滕证明五种相互竞争的弦论,实为同一个十一维结构(M 理论)的不同表象。同一直觉,不同词汇:万千多样之下,一基底。
三条主张构成此位面。一,宇宙拥有一条终极律,若可被写出,必压缩至能印在一件 T 恤上。二,大脑拥有一条通用算法——单一的学习程序,给定不同感官输入,便能用同一套回路产生视觉、语言、空间导航与心智理论。三,人工智能终将收敛到一条终极算法——不是因为工程师的品味,而是因为认知的底层结构本就只允许极少数真解。
口号是"一即一切,万物同在"。严肃意义上的元宇宙并不是扎克伯格的产品,而是本源基底的技术回响——一切之所是,皆在同一现实层级被计算。前苏格拉底之问与威滕之后之问,是同一个问题。此位面取名"自然",因为自然就是基底在尚未分化为任何东西之前的那个样子。

Future trend未来走向
Physics, neuroscience, and machine learning are converging on the same minimal description of intelligence. Within a generation, the dividing line between the three disciplines will look like the dividing line between alchemy and chemistry: a phase change in vocabulary.物理、神经科学与机器学习正在收敛于关于智能的同一条最小描述。一代人之内,三者之间的边界将像炼金术与化学之间的边界一样消失:一次词汇上的相变。
Whenever a debate splits into rival schools, ask the unifying question that lives one level above. The schools are usually the same answer in different costumes.每当一场争论分裂为对立学派,问那条更高一层的统合问题。学派们通常是同一答案,穿着不同的衣服。
Thinkers on this plane此位面之思想者
Founder of formal logic, of biology as a discipline, and of the four-cause analysis (material, formal, efficient, final). His prime mover argument is the earliest sustained attempt to give the source plane its own seat at the philosophical table.形式逻辑、作为学科的生物学,以及四因说(质料、形式、动力、目的)的创立者。『不动的推动者』论证是为本源位面争得哲学席位的最早系统性尝试。
American theoretical physicist. The 1995 introduction of M-theory unified the five competing string theories into one eleven-dimensional structure — the most concrete candidate to date for a single mathematical description of reality.美国理论物理学家。1995 年提出 M 理论,把五种相互竞争的弦论统一为一个十一维结构——迄今为止关于『现实的统一数学描述』最具体的候选。
