This article presents a new resource theory of generalized contextuality for GPT systems, framing noncontextuality as free resources and univalent simulations as free operations. A novel measure—“classical excess”—emerges to quantify contextuality, alongside the POM success probability. The authors explore how information erasure could explain fine-tuning in contextuality and propose experimental tests for heat dissipation. They also situate their framework within broader resource theories like entanglement, highlighting potential future directions in quantum information and foundational physics.

What if karma isn’t a moral law — but an engineering problem? This manifesto proposes a radical idea: karma is a field recording in the continuum of causality, and it can be reset — not through prayer or penance, but through total field isolation. Supported by cutting-edge neuroscience — including evidence that microtubules in our brain operate at the quantum level — I argue that ancient structures like the Serapeum may have been devices for disconnecting from reality’s causal network. This is not mysticism. It’s a scientific hypothesis with revolutionary implications for how we understand consciousness, responsibility, and freedom.
