Imagine an infinite library of new fields of study
Every problem scope has different key features derived from within its own system. For buildings, tensile strength. For pipes, fluid flow. For circuits, voltage and current. For interplanetary travel, lightspeed travel and cryonics. Without the fields that house these features, they would be nameless—we do not care for features that do not belong to a system of interest. Systems of interest give names to nameless features—they turn sound waves into music, binary into data formats, or prime numbers into cryptography. Intent births fields, fields define systems, and systems house features. Interest, like the big bang, expands our universe. Imagine if we charge an AI to create new fields of interest. AI seems well suited to this—imagine giving an AI the task of building a building in an open world physics engine. Would it not derive the importance of features such as tensile strength? AI seems uniquely suited for declaring an interest and optimizing for that interest, and in the process
