Summary (AI generated)

This initial step is crucial as it highlights the connection between our cognitive processes and intelligence. Our brains utilize deeply embedded knowledge to adjust for external factors. When the brain perceives something as causally incorrect, it corrects this perception and presents it in a causal manner. Additionally, the brain can modify its temporal window, influencing how we perceive reality and the rate of events we experience.

When interacting with machines that possess a higher throughput of events than we do, either we must adjust our temporal window, or the machines must adapt to our perception. The brain actively compensates for gaps in information by constructing a model and filling in any missing elements that were not accurately received.

Historically, this manipulation of perception has been employed by magicians, who exploit our sensory interpretation to create illusions of alternate realities. While this is acceptable for entertainment, we must consider the implications of powerful AI and interconnected networks that could alter our perception of reality. As we look to the future, we must contemplate what the 'magicians' of the digital era will resemble in 20 years.
