prime number maze

I came across a very interesting idea while going through a certain podcast. The idea revolves around an experiment where a rat can be taught to turn around at every even number or at every third number in a maze to get some cheese but evidently can't be taught to turn around at the prime numbers two, three, five, seven, eleven and so. The central inference from this experiment is the limits of mental cognition which brings us to a deeper and more important question as to what is the prime number maze equivalent for humans which is currently preventing us from unlocking unseeable information patterns much like the unseeable prime numbers for the rats. This question reinvokes a powerful truth which was the central idea of a previous article I penned - uber theorization problem, which is unknowledge. While knowledge is all that we know, unknowledge on the other hand is all that we don’t know and is infinitely ever-existent irrespective of how much we progress in widening our knowledge base. The prime number maze model can be applied to all scientific and technological developments the human race has uncovered over the years where with time, humans were able to move forward in the prime number maze by unlocking pathways that were there all along but just not visible previously. So, the question now is what currently are the pathways that are probably right in front of us now but are not visible as of yet? These pathways if unlocked can potentially transport us into a very new realm of unimaginable developments and progress. Some interesting potential forward pathways in the prime number maze for humans as mentioned in the podcast includes uncovering how to accomplish biogenesis (inorganically synthesis living organisms) and scientifically understanding the cause of human consciousness (what is the biological root behind consciousness). Moving forward in the prime number maze for humans involves increasingly achieving radical pattern recognition abilities and wider cognitive capabilities which in itself is also another pathway to uncover in the prime number maze. Over the years computers have served as an auxiliary brain (as Steve Jobs famously described the computer as a bicycle for the mind) to collectively widen possible pattern recognition capabilities which have evidently unlocked a lot of new discoveries i.e. pathways in the prime number maze. Further technological innovations in the field of computation like AI and brain-machine interfaces can widen our collective pattern recognition capabilities through human-machine symbiosis and help in unlocking newer radical pathways in the prime number maze we are in. Ecstasis (which I have covered in a previous article - ecstasis economy) is another way to help widen our cognitive capabilities which involves unlocking deeper potential within our mind without outsourcing any computation to an external machine as done in human-machine symbiosis. A very important connotation of the prime number maze is how we project our future based on all the knowledge we have currently gathered. We naturally tend to use results of historical experiments of the past to come up with absolute conclusions of what is possible in the future. Failed technological experiments of the past tend to be written off due to no visible pathways to help take it forward at the time with the technology thereby projected to be of little value in the future and hence gets released from future pursuit. This is essentially a prime number maze problem where the path to move forward which was not visible in the past can be uncovered in the future and thereby convert a seemingly evident impossibility into an unpredictable portal of value generation. This is why current knowledge-based predictions of the future can be extremely problematic as the past cannot and should not be indefinitely extrapolated into the future. A case in point is how the metaverse has been repeatedly written off due to roadblocks and obvious reasonings as to why it just cannot work. But what seems unimaginable and obvious today can unpredictably take a 180 degree turn tomorrow as evidenced from a wide variety of events in history as that is the beauty of unknowledge and all we need to do is figure out ways to move forward in the prime number maze we are in.
