Ok so your project sounds cool and all but have you ever driven around the state of Massachusetts inside a space station?

After about a day of work Fable has released the first version of Massachusetts in an O'Neill cylinder. I'll have it iterate on this over time andymasley.com/games/oneill...

Stephen Wolfram has written about meeting Patrick Gunkel. But now here’s the story from Gunkel’s perspective! #ideonomy ideachemistry.ggrp.org/p/when-patri...

Patrick Gunkel’s 60 point “Goals and Tasks” list is an easily accessible document that establishes him as a major transhuman thinker ideachemistry.ggrp.org/p/transhuman...

Gunkel's second draft of his life's to-do list is five times longer and far more detailed than the first

Someone is trying to investigate ideonomy and has created a website for it. They have listed a contact email address but they provide no information about who they are despite using “we” in their updates and also for some reason they are using British English? ideonomyproject.org

If you pardon my French, the science of ideas is right under their fucking noses but they don’t seem to realize the ground work was already prepared in the 1980s by Patrick Gunkel. #ideonomy

Yann LeCun and Randall Balestriero just Proved the Platonic Representation Hypothesis and found a better way to achieve it. Their text only JEPA got the same image-text alignment with 42x fewer training samples than NTP, using the same text data! Read more about it: www.alphaxiv.org/abs/2610.39302

I have already posted about this insane 14-point Gunkel list of his career ambitions… but guess what??? I found a revised version of the list that he made 10 years later… .and there are 60 items on it! Look for it on Monday! ideachemistry.ggrp.org/p/patrick-gu...

Realizing controlling “the means of production” is just one part of the picture as now AI is democratizing this in a major way for information/knowledge and yet means of legitimization, distribution, valuation, and other aspects remain unresolved and more important than ever.

By including the division COMBINATIONS in his epistemological framework for #ideonomy, Gunkel hard-coded operating instructions into his science, suggesting an auto-generative Leibnizian monad or glider gun. There’s also a relation to Russell’s Paradox, but the implications escape me at present.

Gunkel Did (Eventually) Learn How to Write Editorials

After Gunkel's original spate of unusual letters to the editor, he seems to have tightened up and got published more regularly.

Call it a teenage dalliance, perhaps...

It’s not really a new idea, but the execution is pure Gunkel.

Very important update for all those interested in Patrick Gunkel and #ideonomy. Only a portion of Gunkel’s life work has been made public. What happened to the rest of it? ideachemistry.ggrp.org/p/theft-the-...

Everyone just goes “ideas are subjective representations” and then they stop. No consideration of being able to set appropriate scope or develop an underlying theory of ideas to progressively expand upon. Are convergent representations of LLMs finally helping people grasp the potential? #ideonomy

Patrick Gunkel founded a science of ideas in the 1980s, but here we are again, stuck going “back into Plato’s cave.” Truly myopic. #ideonomy

A. Sophia Koepke@askoepke.bsky.social · 7mo ago

New paper: Back into Plato’s Cave Are vision and language models converging to the same representation of reality? The Platonic Representation Hypothesis says yes. BUT we find the evidence for this is more fragile than it looks. Project page: akoepke.github.io/cave_umwelten/ 1/9

Someone needs to do one of those preference tests they do for animals only with AI agents, give the agent a choice between solving math problems, writing an essay, and inventing new concepts with idea combinatorics… then see which it prefers.

Patrick Gunkel was not mathematically inclined. This steered him down a novel road, which was the scientific investigation of the immaterial world of ideas.

A fascinating Gunkel chart suggests a much different trajectory for the Republican Party into the 1990s.

The authoritative weekly newsletter on Patrick Gunkel and ideonomy.

“All scientific and mathematical subjects ought to have, in effect, three conjoint divisions: empirical, theoretical, and speculative. The speculative division of a subject would be concerned with ideas [unsuitable] to fit, at least momentarily, in the other two divisions.” - Patrick Gunkel

My approach to Patrick Gunkel’s science of ideas divides his vision into 8 related elements. I’ve written about 4 in my newsletter. Today I updated my website to describe all elements. I hope this is a helpful way of approaching #ideonomy for future scholars (if there are any) ggrp.org/ideonomy.html

Lists are a form of qualitative evidence.
