有两种方式「通晓一切」:

1、穷具并知晓每一种可能性;
2、找到底层原理后高效推理。

定理:
1、海量数据和滔天算力是不持久的;
2、通用性和低能耗是持久的。

推论:
任何人工智能都需要蒸馏出「认知」才能活下去。

本地且联网的传感器

不昧因果,能否生其心?

人与他人的相处中,会有各种碰撞,肢体的碰撞可感知身体的虚实,语言的碰撞可感知文化和观念的边界,意识的碰撞可见到彼此的区别,因此可见「自我」的形状。可见「自我」并非自性,而是文化、观念、偏见所围合而成空间,是阻断自性与空之间的墙壁。「自我」是孤岛。

我与汉洋在东北吃菜,才见到粤菜之于我的影响;我用 mamiya 645 1000s 拍摄 120 胶卷,才见到数码摄影的便利之于我的限制;我在观众读者的留言和争论中,才见到自己秉信和坚持之物;我向母亲痛诉她的不在场所造成的一切痛苦之时,才真正见到了自己的痛苦,见到了不在场不意味着空。

见到菜系的差别,可放下差别;见到胶卷与数码的差别,可专心拍摄;见到人与人观念的差别,可不执著于自我。

见到碰撞的边界,是否一定可以解除边界?

六边形的五条边都消失时,余下的一边是否还存在?

这两天,我脑海里一直在回想野狐禅中的「不昧因果」。修行之人不会「不落因果」,因为因果是客观的存在,不会改变和转移。见到因果而不执迷于因果,就是看见而不做区别对待的意思。是么?

那么「不昧因果」是不是看见自我边界的形成过程而以无视之来化解呢?见其成而若无物,即为不见,即不存在。如此,是否无所住,而生其心了呢?

恐怕不能。

视而不见,还是在回避因果,但因果不可回避,又会产生新的因果和痛苦。

心性应如水,淌过石头产生波纹或浪花,但不会因此而成为其他东西,依然是水,不带着石头的影响继续流淌下去。如何能达成这样的状态?我还不知道。
