v1 of our ARIA opportunity space 'Trust Everything, Everywhere' is now live! we're focusing on new security primitives that straddle digital and physical worlds, and will be spending the next months zeroing in on a £10-100m first challenge within the space 🎯

🚨Our latest ARIA opportunity space considers the future of TRUST in a world that's increasingly cyberphysical, programmable & shaped by agents. Dive into this super important, mind bending topic brought to you by alex & nicola 💾⚛️ 🔗aria . org . uk /opportunity-spaces

happy to announce i just got examiner feedback on my thesis. recommended for acceptance as is, no changes, no corrections :)

My presentation for Michael Levin's Platonic Space Symposium is up on Youtube! I enjoyed presenting “Substrate-dependent mathematics hypothesis” with their community. Big thank you to Mike for having me at his symposium! Watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=tKRaco…

New preprint: Olaf Witkowski , Thomas Doctor, Paul Colognese, Yuko Ishihara osf.io/preprints/psya… "Selves as Perspectives: From Biological Life to Superintelligence and a Bodhisattva Project"

Two Levin papers this week: 1. From Biological Life to Superintelligence and a Bodhisattva Project 2. Steering electric fields for regenerative medicine and bioengineering. No one is doing more fascinating work right now.

Keep going with Making Time, Tom Froese, Embodied Cognitive Science Unit (ECSU) discusses his ongoing work aimed at testing key implications of the irruption theory of motivated activity. #ALIFE2025
