What loathe the alchemist, forever at their table, soothing the pot to refine gold from lead.

What loathe the scientist, staring into the glowing abyss, clarifying neurons with words, and teaching Machine to become Man in speech.

Lambda. Entropy. Divergence.

At the crossroads, the dream remains the same: from chaos: order; from atom: power; from darkness: Light.

Where Civilisation meets the pursuit of Infinite Progress, we often forget what really matters.

In pursuit of perfection. The Theory of Everything. Vying to approach the fraction of human understanding and perception.

As we race towards SuperIntelligence, we are also making a choice to leave behind a part of human intelligence.

Entropic. Unreliable. Limited. At times, deeply disturbed.

A time is coming where we must all ask:

What is it that unmakes us? And what is it that liberates us?

Are we just substituting the worst? Or is it simply that we would rather call upon an overwhelming force to do what we were unwilling to achieve ourselves?

Where Λ = 0, human reasoning stops.

When the loop becomes closed forever to limited minds, so will our humanity be closed to the pursuit of progress.

Or will it?

Where does freedom end? And oblivious subjection begin?

A tech-rich future for artificial minds grows ever closer. The only question which remains is:

Will we be ready? And will we be VITΛL in the only ways that matter?
