Liam Ottley outlines a four-stage evolution of AI agents, progressing from basic text-based interaction to sophisticated predictive systems that anticipate human needs. These phases are characterized by advancements in how humans instruct AI and the increasing agency of these digital entities.

Phase 1: Text-Based AI Agents.

This initial phase, already in progress, features AI agents that understand and execute instructions delivered via text input. These agents operate by: comprehending human-provided instructions, utilising tools (APIs) to interact with apps and websites, and retaining information from past interactions to inform future actions. While these agents can plan and execute tasks autonomously, human interaction remains limited by the speed of typing. Examples include OpenAI's ChatGPT and platforms like Agent.AI by HubSpot.

Phase 2: Voice-Based AI Agents.

This phase eliminates the keyboard, allowing users to interact with AI agents through natural language. Current limitations include the need for custom tools and experienced developers for complex applications. Platforms like SynthFlow and AI21 Labs enable the creation of custom voice agents.

Phase 3: Brain-Computer Interface AI Agents.

This phase envisions AI agents controlled directly by human thought, leveraging brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). This eliminates physical input limitations, allowing for the fastest possible communication with AI. Companies like Elon Musk's Neuralink are pioneering BCI technology, with early trials demonstrating computer control through thought alone.

Phase 4: Predictive AI Agents.

The final stage envisions AI agents that anticipate human needs without explicit instructions. This level of proactivity leverages contextual information, such as user behaviour and bio-data, to predict and offer assistance. While still futuristic, this phase represents the culmination of AI agent evolution, seamlessly integrating into human lives and anticipating needs before they arise.

Einstein's theories of relativity, while groundbreaking in their scope, reveal inherent limitations of spacetime, particularly at extreme scales:

Spacetime Breakdown at the Planck Scale: Einstein's theories, when combined with quantum mechanics, indicate that spacetime "falls apart" at incredibly small scales—10-33 centimeters and 10-43 seconds, known as the Planck scale. This means that at these minuscule distances and time intervals, spacetime ceases to have operational meaning. No experiment can be conducted that would yield a measurable outcome at scales smaller than the Planck scale.

Loss of Operational Meaning: This breakdown arises from the interplay between quantum mechanics and general relativity. As attempts are made to measure increasingly smaller particles, shorter wavelengths of light or radiation are required1. However, according to Einstein's equation E=hν, shorter wavelengths mean higher energy. Higher energy, in turn, translates to increased mass (E=mc2). This concentration of mass within a shrinking region of space eventually leads to the formation of a black hole, effectively destroying the object being measured.

Shallow Data Structure: The Planck scale limit highlights that spacetime, as described by Einstein's theories, is a "very shallow data structure". This shallowness implies that the framework of spacetime, although immensely successful in describing the universe at macroscopic scales, breaks down and becomes inadequate at the most fundamental levels of reality. Therefore, Einstein's theories, which initially revolutionized our understanding of spacetime, ironically point towards its limitations. They reveal that spacetime, as we currently conceive it, may not be the fundamental bedrock of reality but rather an emergent phenomenon that arises from a deeper, yet-to-be-understood structure.

Physicists are actively exploring alternative mathematical frameworks that go beyond the limitations of spacetime. Some of these frameworks, as highlighted in the sources, include:

Positive Geometries: These are geometric structures existing outside of spacetime, often with numerous dimensions exceeding the four dimensions of conventional spacetime.

Amplituhedron: This is a specific type of positive geometry that has gained significant attention. It's a jewel-shaped, multi-dimensional geometric object that encodes the scattering amplitudes of particle interactions in a surprisingly elegant and concise manner.

Cosmological Polytopes: These are another class of positive geometries, generalizations of polyhedra in multiple dimensions. Like the amplituhedron, they offer a simplified way to compute complex interactions, bypassing the limitations of spacetime-based calculations.

Decorated Permutations: These are combinatorial objects that classify the positive geometries, providing a way to organize and understand these complex structures.

These alternative frameworks are notable because they:

Simplify Complex Calculations: By moving beyond spacetime, these frameworks offer significantly simplified calculations for complex particle interactions. Calculations that require billions of terms in spacetime can be reduced to a handful of terms using these new structures.

Reveal Hidden Symmetries: They expose symmetries in physical data that are not apparent within the framework of spacetime.

Offer a Path Beyond Quantum Mechanics: While some physicists seek to explain spacetime's emergence from quantum entanglement, these frameworks suggest that both spacetime and quantum mechanics arise from an even deeper level of reality.

The exploration of these frameworks is still in its early stages, and physicists are working to understand their implications and connections to the observable universe. However, these developments highlight a growing recognition that spacetime may not be the fundamental bedrock of reality, but rather an emergent phenomenon arising from a deeper, more fundamental structure. This shift in perspective has profound implications for our understanding of the universe and the nature of reality itself.
