What is artificial intelligence (AI)? Its any software that does unexpected things and surprises you how well the unexpected things work compared to what it was designed to do. We expected the Deep-Blue chess computer to win, but we could not predict what chess moves it would do until it played against the best Human chess player.

 What does Audivolv do now?* Starts when you click here then click OPEN. If it does not work, click here for how to fix it or my phone/email. * Open-source GNU GPL 2+. Unzip that file instead of opening it to get the source-code. * Sound reacts instantly to mouse movement. * You move the mouse any way you like and think about how that should sound. * You choose "Sounds Good" or "Sounds Bad". * Audivolv tries to learn what you were thinking. * Repeat until your musical thoughts become real. It took 5 minutes to create this example music: .OGG .MP3 .WAV * Close Audivolv and start over if you confuse it too much. * Audivolv is a Java software that creates Java software to change things about itself as it learns * Learns techno music faster than any other type, but what did you expect an AI to play first? * There is not 1 line of music code in Audivolv until you teach it what music is. Then it writes the code. * Find all new musical instruments in the "Audivolving" folder it creates, and copy/paste whats in those files into the "Create Musical Instrument" tab in the options, to play them again, or use them as part of a new music software (not GNU GPL 2+ because it usually does not apply to program output). Audivolv writes reusable Java code. |
What will Audivolv do years from now? * The same thing it does now but it learns faster, and will learn what you like with no good/bad buttons. * Privacy And Safety Policy is only relevant if you turn on the Internet option or after it has much more intelligence. Does not exist yet. * Given examples of the best known AI algorithms (bayesian net, neural net, evolution, etc) rewritten in Audivolv's simpler code and data format, Audivolv will evolve an intelligent way to design and use new AI algorithms in that same format. * Play all types of music and create new types. If you think mouse-music can not rock, listen to my older and less advanced music program: CodeSimian. What I did manually in CodeSimian, Audivolv will do automatically and better. * Audivolv evolves a way to intelligently design AI brainwaves and data structures it will flow through and modify. * Audivolv designs a different music-and-mouse language between AI and each person who plays music with their mouse. * A new kind of communication: Audivolv translates between those music-and-mouse languages (no text) between millions of people across the Internet. * Theoretically: ToDo Summary.txt in the Audivolv Jar file summarizes my long-term theoretical plans for Audivolv. The most important parts are the "filter" of Java code (also called "firewall"), Friendly AI (for accuracy of the emergent effects), evolution of connectionist algorithms and node types, and the part after "MICROPHONE AND SPEAKERS PARROT" near the end. It will be a 5 megabyte Jar file. |

How I will create the first open-source global AI network.There is no way to say this without sounding like I'm bragging or exaggerating, but it really is my well-thought-out plans, and anyone can read the design-documents of what I'm planning to build (included in every download, newest docs in unfinished version 0.2.1 on sourceforge). I will create a self-aware self-modifying musical instrument you play with the mouse (and/or other devices) that learns how you want it to sound. It will be artificial-intelligence that creates more artificial-intelligence automatically as you play the mouse-music instrument, using your unconscious musical thoughts as part of its own mind, a collective-intelligence system for creating music. Listen to some music created with Audivolv. The style of the music makes it obvious that an artificial-intelligence created it. The interactions between people and AI in this network will be in the style of Timothy Leary's video: How To Operate Your Brain (click here to watch it inside my Natural Language Mouse Interface software) OpenEEGI've been planning this for years, but here's my most recent plan summary, which I wrote at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openeegI've not used it (because the current version is hard to build), but it appears to be the most advanced open-source (no patents or limits on building it) hardware for reading your mind. Its a device you wear on your head that measures electricity on your skin to interpret your thoughts, similar to Emotiv's Epoc mind-reading helmet that they sell for video-games. Last I heard, Emotiv is offering an "enterprise license" to use that mind-reading helmet the same way we can use OpenEEG for free. Of course Emotiv's is better, but thats only because they got there first. I will take OpenEEG far past their video-gaming efforts. My goal is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_intelligence for mouse-music in the first open-source global AI network. 
The Nintendo Wii controllers below can detect movement and turning in 3 dimensions, a total of 6 dimensions per controller. Click here to see how I plan to use Nintendo Wii controllers in combination with a mouse and/or mind-reading helmet. A future version of Audivolv will optionally learn to use many hardwares simultaneously to create intelligent music on-the-fly. What a Wii controller can do with motion, a mind-reading helmet can do by thinking about it. Theres some videos of this on youtube and emotiv.com 
If Emotiv will agree to sell their mind-reading helmet without restrictions on how it can be used (like I don't need anyone's permission for how to use my mouse or keyboard), then (this would be very hard for me to build) I would upgrade Audivolv to use self-aware mouse-music to speed up their long training that is necessary to learn to use their mind-reading helmet. If not, then lots of years from now, OpenEEG will be taking their customers. Emotiv has created an amazing product (I'll buy one when theres more games for it), but last time I asked them, they are not interested in allowing open-source softwares to use their hardware, so I'm going with OpenEEG. To anyone who wants that to happen, please tell Emotiv you want that to happen and why, and maybe Emotiv will change their mind. For now, I'm going with OpenEEG, but I could use both. I plan for a future version of my Audivolv software to optionally connect to OpenEEG mind-reading devices (or any other devices or many devices simultaneously) for a similar purpose as emotiv.com uses a mind-reading device as a video-game controller. http://sourceforge.net/projects/audivolv Audivolv (GNU GPL 2+) is the only Artificial-Intelligence that creates musical- instruments you play with the mouse, learns how you want them to sound, and automatically creates and uses new software to make them sound more that way. Thats what it does now. The goal: "Human moves mouse to control realtime generated music which artificial intelligence (AI) changes to try to control Human's hand on mouse. AI translates music problems to programming problems, organizing Humans unconsciously through internet to build AI". Audivolv will become the first open-source global AI network, using simple UDP packets and letting AI organize and optimize the network and what to use the network for (while obeying each user's privacy options). The purpose of extending Audivolv onto the internet is to increase each Audivolv's intelligence by including the unconscious musical thoughts of millions of people who move their mouse to play the realtime generated intelligent music. Generated AI code and people's unconscious musical thoughts, will be searchable by content, but not by name, because this global AI lambda-based system will be too much like Lisp to search anything by name. A future version of Audivolv can do that using only mouse X and Y positions as the user-interface. If combined with OpenEEG, the "Audivolv Network" would be extremely smarter. Unlike the softwares most people think of when they hear "artificial intelligence", the combination of Audivolv and OpenEEG and a million people would be an experience that most people can not imagine. Audivolv+OpenEEG will use subtle psychology of music and mouse movements to form a collective-intelligence of millions or billions of people, free and open-source. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_intelligence I'm looking for a job. Here's my resumE. Money is not related to building advanced things. Me not having a job today is in no way related to my skills. Its related to people wanting to build less advanced things. Don't miss this opportunity to work with the only person on this planet who will create the first open-source global AI network. --Ben F Rayfield |

Natural Language Mouse Interface Audivolv is free and open-source GNU GPL 2+. Natural Language Mouse Interface is free and open-source GNU GPL 3+. Unquote: And yet when I say "strange loop", I have something else in mind - a less concrete, more elusive notion. What I mean by "strange loop" is - here goes a first stab, anyway - not a physical circuit but an abstract loop in which, in the series of stages that constitute the cycling-around, there is a shift from one level of abstraction (or structure) to another, which feels like an upwards movement in a hierarchy, and yet somehow the successive "upward" shifts turn out to give rise to a closed cycle. That is, despite one's sense of departing ever further from one's origin, one winds up, to one's shock, exactly where one had started out. In short, a strange loop is a paradoxical level-crossing feedback loop. Quote. (pages 101-102 of the book I am a strange loop, a book which I have not read but I know what the word "strange-loop" means) 
Example strange-loop: The Halting Problem is a strange-loop. Using only logic (a part of math), its been defined and proven unsolvable, using only a pencil and half a piece of paper. That disproof is a proof of: There are an infinite number of things about math that are true but can never be proven true using only the other parts of math. Example strange-loop: Creating weapons to work toward peace is a strange-loop. The solution to this is easier than the disproof of the Halting-Problem. the solution is a strange-loop: More people learn how to calculate with strange-loops. Example strange-loop: Running a Linux emulator inside of Linux, is a strange-loop. Running a Linux emulator inside that emulator is also a strange-loop. How do you know how many emulators you are in? The science-fiction movie The Matrix (3 movies) describes many levels of recursive emulation of Earth, where the machines appeared to know the future but that was only because they had already simulated the future and were replaying the past. The Matrix is a strange-loop. Similarly, I could use recursive self-emulation in my Audivolv AI designs. Example strange-loop: I'll define some words (different than how Max Tegmark defines them). "Universe" means "all time, space, laws-of-physics, multiverses, and whatever else there is". "Determinism" is everything thats completely predictable. "Nondeterminism" means all "random" and all "chaos" and all "free will". Abstract things do not exist. Math is abstract and infinite. Math is determinism plus nondeterminism. Things that exist can be part of things that do not exist, like "dog" is an abstract definition of an animal, but your specific dog does not have to be abstract. Math is symmetric. In logic talk, "implied" is the timeless word for "caused" or "required". I've not said what exists and what does not exist yet. End of definitions. If universe not equal math, then that lack of symmetry is 1 nondeterministic thing that is not implied by anything, therefore the universe equals math. Math includes nondeterministic things. Nondeterminism is a strange-loop. Theres a technical way to say that: nihilistpanpsychism. This is a proof that the universe equals math (Max Tegmark's theory) and does not exist. Universe is a strange-loop. I wrote on Tegmark's messageboard about this. Maybe he will respond. Example strange-loop: Time is a strange-loop. However you travel through it, "time" always appears to be "now". Example strange-loop: Space is a strange-loop. However you travel through it, "space" always appears to be "here". Example strange-loop: Consciousness is a strange-loop. However your consciousness changes, wherever and whenever it is, "consciousness" always appears to be "me". Its no different than space and time. Many things in this "reality" appear backwards. It could be related to this 4x4 matrix I found on 1 of Wikipedia's physics pages, where the dimensions on each side are time, spaceX, spaceY, and spaceZ:
So we are in a matrix? The matrix math gets more complex after that, including things like the square-root of negative numbers. Example strange-loop: Giving examples to explain what a strange-loop is, is a strange-loop. Example strange-loop: The software industry has evolved toward the most efficient way to create small bugs (problems in the software) and charge customers money to fix them. When a software business has to choose between fixing their bugs OR adding new features, they make more money by adding the features (with a few bugs to fix later) and charging money to fix bugs later. This is called a "new version" or "tech support" or "support contract". The way bad software makes more money than good software (on average) is a strange-loop. My last version of Audivolv will have exactly 0 bugs. Example strange-loop: I learned what strange loop means without reading the book I am a strange loop where that word was created.
I am a strange-loop that creates stranger loops. For example... Downloads (just use it to play music, forget the math) (If it does not work, install Java and try again.) Sample music created with Audivolv How to use Audivolv, contact info (same phone number, but I check this email less often. Its not for jobs.) I'm looking for a job. Here's my resumE. My other AI software is not finished but there are some demos. Its Javascript so it works immediately in your web browser. It works in the top 5 browsers. Natural Language Mouse Interface Audivolv is free and open-source GNU GPL 2+. Natural Language Mouse Interface is free and open-source GNU GPL 3+. Creating free open-source software and later making money by multilicensing only your parts of that software, is a strange-loop. This is the new icon for Audivolv: It means lambda exponent music. Lambda means a stateless-function, which means the same as "functional programming". Its the kind of programming normally done in the Lisp language. "X exponent Y" means the simultaneous interaction of Y quantity of Xs. It does not mean the simultaneous interaction of X quantity of Ys. The way I'm using the word here, "music" means a wave of sound generated by AI. I'm using "music" as a part of math, like you would talk about in signal-processing research, like the SETI@HOME search for alien signals from space is wave research. Waves of light in space (radio signals), or waves in the air we hear in music, are both described by the same math, just different frequencies. Lambda exponent music. I'm using these 3 words as descriptions of parts of math. For example, "lambda" means the set of all lambda functions. In that way, "lambda exponent lambda" equals "lambda". "math" is the set of all possible things and all impossible things and all combinations of all things. Its just a word. I'm sure that "math exponent math" equals "math". I'm also sure that "lambda exponent music" is a subset of "math". "subset" means "is a part of". Every thing is a subset of itself. I would very much like to know the answer to the following question: Is "math" a subset of "lambda"? By definition, "lambda" is a subset of "math", but are they equal? In other words, what is the technical definition of "math"? Does "lambda" equal "math"? I have a use for this information, but its hard to explain. Its the only research problem I know of that is harder than the Friendly AI problem. The Friendly AI problem is closely related to "free will" in the same way it is related to "pseudorandom" (so it does not matter if "free will" is real or not in how those relate to Friendly AI), and I describe it more below. Also, the word "nondeterminism", as I will use it here, means "random" or "chaos" or "free will". The last question I asked was: Does math equal lambda? I ask a second question here: Does the question "Does math equal lambda?" equal "nondeterminism"? I have a third question: Does the second question equal the third question? These are the kinds of things a Lisp programmer would ask. I use Java instead of Lisp because, over the years, Java has become more self-consistent, and Lisp became more complex as it connected to more self-inconsistent softwares (same reason Windows breaks often). Today, Java is more consistent then Lisp, so Audivolv is completely a Java software. I plan for Audivolv to become the "new Lisp". I will build it into a language for AI and music. Audivolv's Func interface can be used exactly as a lambda (a Func that takes 1 Func as input and returns 1 Func as output), but it also has lambda-like support for efficient floating-point and stack calculations. I've written a technical document explaining an exponential speed optimization for some patterns of code (It will work without you knowing its there). More importantly, I have new theories on the interaction between control-flow (loops and variables), multiply, and exponent. Or forget about the math and simply download Audivolv and play music with your mouse... Downloads (just use it to play music, forget the math) (If it does not work, install Java and try again.) Sample music created with Audivolv How to use Audivolv, contact info (same phone number, but I check this email less often. Its not for jobs.) I'm looking for a job. Here's my resumE.
Really, in the whole history of Earth,
Audivolv is the first to do that, and I will continue
improving Audivolv. I will NEVER change Audivolv in any way that makes it harder
for any person to use, even if that person does not know
anything about computers. Use your mouse to play music.
Simple. Also, I will never do anything that makes
Audivolv less reliable. Unconditionally, I will improve
Audivolv toward being easier (as you
experience it), more reliable, more
predictable, simpler (ratio of code size
per feature), and
smaller ratio of code size divided by complexity of what it does. For example, it has
"Sounds Good" and "Sounds Bad" buttons now, which you use
to train it to sound however you want. In some future
version, those buttons will be gone and only the mouse
movements will remain. Audivolv will learn how you want to
sound only by how you move the mouse, based on my theory of
Human psychology that if you like a sound more then a smart
enough AI must be able to predict your mouse movements
(which is your reaction to the realtime generated sounds)
better. In other words, your mouse movements and Audivolv's
generated sounds will become a 2-way communication between
people and AI. You will move the mouse and it will change
from "whitenoise like radio-static" to any musical
instrument you can imagine, for the same effect as Audivolv
reading your musical thoughts. Its a very subtle thing
about psychology.
Its 100% Java, works immediately without install. Sets up all options automatically.
If you are not evolving audio 10 seconds after it starts, please write on the Bug
List. If you do not know how to use it, please write why its confusing on
the Bug

How to use it: Move your mouse to play whitenoise and other random sounds. Audivolv continues learning how you want the mouse to sound. You can only play music with your mouse after you teach Audivolv what music is. The current version has good/bad buttons to teach it, but future versions will learn what you like by your mouse movements alone. |

| IN EXTREMELY TECHNICAL WORDS, MY LONG-TERM THEORETICAL GOAL FOR EACH AUDIVOLV PER COMPUTER: efficiently unify connectionist AI (the obs[] part of a audivolv.Func) (any recursive permutations of linear and exponential types) with evolution (the obs[] part of a audivolv.Func) and hypercube vector fields (the flos[] part of a audivolv.Func or any flo numbers recursively in permutations of linear and exponential connectionist array networks), represented in the same code and provably-predictable data format (arrays of arrays of arrays... allowing cycles and leaf nodes like audivolv.Func or numbers in hypercube range, with other constraints), code-string-firewalled for safety, so generated AI softwares can use other generated AI softwares as tools, starting from a few example AIs like bayesian (a type of exponential connectionist AI) and evolution, to play better mouse-music (a hypercube vector field that includes 1 dimension for each speaker and mouse x and y position). |
|
THEORETICALLY: THIS PART COULD BE DONE ON 1 COMPUTER OR A GLOBAL AI NETWORK: To an AI, mouse-music would look like an AI changing the data described above. To a person, mouse-music would sound like theres a person on the other end of the mouse helping with the music. A common language between people and AI, to use AI as a person emulator and people as an AI emulator. Its much easier to do both of those things together than only 1. Audivolv's long name is in quotes: "Audivolv - where Instruments Play The Musicians" and Musicians Play The Instruments, a theory of recursive intelligence, where Human thoughts and AI thoughts could be used interchangably in the same recursion, using mouse-music as "Human interface code" instead of normal "Human interface code" like windows, text, buttons, and menus. I know brains run much slower and more parallel than computers. There can be many speeds of recursion, some allowing more time to think at each step, some slow enough to flow across a global AI network, and others fast enough to process realtime audio. Recursive intelligence can be slow or fast, blurry or specific, and any combination of those, in theory. |
