Скачать или смотреть Why AI Needs a Steering Wheel: The Physics of Meaning & Getting a Causal Vote in Which Future We Get

The Phase Change in Information Processing: From Calculating on Water to Standing on Ice.

In this talk from deCENTRALIZEd @Futo in Austin (Dec 4, 2025), Elias Moosman introduces the Fractal Identity Map (FIM)—a paradigm shift designed to solve the "Symbol Grounding Problem" in Artificial Intelligence.

Skip the setup: Margaret organizer of deCENTRALIZED introduces the speaker around 30:20.

Current AI operates on "stories about stories," relying on proximity-based vector embeddings that drift when speed and complexity increase. Elias demonstrates how constraining symbol meanings to absolute physical positions (The Unity Principle: Semantic ≡ Physics ≡ Hardware) creates a stable foundation for agency, verifiability, and trust.

Learn how we can move from the energy-expensive "5-hour mental workout" of decoding ungrounded signals to a friction-free, verifiable exchange of meaning.



In this video:

Why humans spend 20% of brain energy decoding "drift" in meetings.

The difference between relative vectors and absolute semantic coordinates.

A look at the physical 12x12 Fractal Identity Map.

Demo of "Intent Guard" for code-documentation alignment.

Why no reliable AGI can exist without a "steering wheel" for meaning.
