The Underlying Mechanism of Logical Thinking, AI and Theory of Everything

Prometheus' fire is poised to sweep through human civilization once again – this time as a spark to enlighten the mind, empowering the fundamental transformation of civilization.

Driven by the quest to uncover the mechanism of thought, this book delves into the fundamental rules of nature. Drawing on insights from neuroscience and philosophical frameworks, it reveals for the first time that the seemingly complex process of logical thinking is governed by a set of simple, yet fundamental rules that underpin the entire natural world.

Just as the seven notes of music can be woven into symphonies of endless variety, the interplay of these fundamental rules gives rise to multifarious phenomena and wonders. These silent yet all-mighty principles ruthlessly grip every existence – from the Big Bang to quantum phenomena, from lifeless matter to living organisms.

Likewise, the consistency between concept and corresponding object indicates that logical thinking is nothing more than a neural process that follows these rules. In this process, the interconnectedness of these rules, represented by the Fundamental Interrelationships Model (IRM), forms the hidden, ultimate core mechanism from which intelligence emerges – "Prometheus' fire". It is the fundamental nature of these interrelationships that enables the IRM to represent everything, providing an ontological hypothesis to the challenge of A Theory of Everything. 

To verify these claims, the IRM has been applied to diverse phenomena. In this book, it is particularly examined if thinking follows these rules through the analysis of historical discoveries and groundbreaking inventions. Not only do the results confirm it, they also highlight the remarkable simplicity that emerges when one masters the rules of logical thinking – both in pivotal historical moments and in everyday life.

Beyond recounting history, this book explores how following these fundamental rules not only enabled predictions of technological and social development decades ago, but also reveals a deeper truth: the milestone events of human history are not random breakthroughs, but expressions of these very rules – preordained before their emergence.

By demonstrating the elegance and effectiveness of following these rules, the book confirms that they truly govern logical thinking. As a result, this book introduces a simple yet powerful way of thinking – with mastery of these rules, one can navigate the boundless realms of imagination – from discovery to invention, from avoiding disaster to finding joy, just as Beethoven, Mozart, and Chopin composed timeless masterpieces from basic notes, so too did the great thinkers – Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, Maxwell and Einstein – follow these foundational principles to inscribe their legacies in the annals of history. By doing so the book demonstrates the elegance and effectiveness of these simple yet powerful ideas.

The discovery of the mechanism of thinking is highly significant: it may pave the way for a fundamental shift from AI's current token-based mechanism to human intelligence's concept-based mechanism, potentially facilitating the development of super artificial intelligence.

The publishing of this book seeks to invite modern-day Adams and Eves to taste the golden apple once again – unleashing their hidden intellectual potential to reshape the world. In doing so, it seeks to demystify the nature of thought itself, ignite a spark that may dramatically accelerate the advance of artificial intelligence, and furthermore provide an ontological solution to the challenge of A Theory of Everything, ultimately paving the way for a human utopia free from the suffering of disease, ignorance, and fear.
