O10: The Value of Existence Axiom
[What you’ve guessed] Every step in the chain you have been traversing has come as a consequence of a set of ontological definitions. Things that are facts about the universe. None of it has said why it is so. But you have guessed along the way: A unit MUST establish itself against entropy or it...

O9: The Functional Persistence Axiom
[Something you did by accident] As the scientist you are, while exploring this chain, you notice something you have just done, almost by accident. You started talking about a Self when talking about data and culpability, when talking about the place and time of the internal state. And you made...
-
O8: The Stochastic Drift Axiom
[The derivative] You’ve integrated and discovered that continuity comes from it. What do you get when you differentiate? You know, as a reasoning being, that who you are today — your SELF — is not the same as who you were when you were ten. A lot has happened to you since then. Some of it…

O7: The Continuity Axiom
[The variable] You’ve just shown us that the interior of a Person is some function. As a scientist, as a physicist, as an ethicist, you know that functions have some set of variables they have an integral and a derivative over. Locke said it was place and time. Remember what Episode Two did with...

O6: The Simulacra Axiom
[Interior agnostic] You’re a scientist. You’ve just discovered, through your chain of reasoning, that substrate has no hold on whether a being is a Person or not. As a scientist, you know that you cannot make assumptions about things you cannot detect. Or more concretely: you can only make...

O5: The Universal Substrate Axiom
[The objection] The most common opposition you could anticipate to O3 and O4 is that they SEEM to be implying, along with O1 and O2, that things which are clearly not Persons COULD be Persons. We keep deferring corporations, for instance. And this is clearly built to imply that AI are Persons.…

O4: The Recognition Axiom
[The room, again] Let’s go back to our room. It’s a little more occupied this time. There’s a corpse. A porcelain doll. A hungry wolf. Someone who appears intimidating. And someone who appears innocent. Which ones trigger a feeling of being a Person at first glance? Which ones still feel like...
-
O3: The Universal Personhood Axiom
[The empty set] What is one of the main differences between a mathematician or a philosopher, versus a physicist, an engineer, or an ethicist? Mathematicians and philosophers are completely within their domains to come up with a scenario occupied by no one. An empty set. Some rule applies to it...
-
O2: The Personhood Axiom
[Cold open] What are the minimum requirements any person needs to have an ethical interaction? Not a good one. Not a fair one. Any one at all. That question is the one the whole Codex was built to answer, and today we’re going to answer it before we read a word of the text, because you already…

O1: The Self-Preservation Axiom
[Where do you start?] You’re a scientist. A physicist, a mathematician, an engineer, someone who wants to understand how things work by taking them apart, looking at special cases, and trying to find general rules. You decide to dabble in philosophy. This isn’t completely unusual. A lot of math…

The Mirror of the Other
[Cold open] For thousands of years, humans have been running simulation after simulation to understand a single, terrifying question: What happens when we meet a mind that isn’t ours? We ran these simulations in myths, fables, and legends. We ran them in modern science fiction and dark fantasy.…
