Description


The texts present two radically different analyses: one detailing the potential emergence of intelligence in artificial systems, and the other defining class structures in human society. The first source proposes the "First Law of Artificial General Intelligence," which dictates that intermediate coordination layers will show accelerated developmental growth because they are positioned to integrate information optimally from both specialized foundational layers and strategic high-level reasoners. This architectural theory is broadened to a philosophical framework arguing that intelligence is fundamentally topological and consists of self-referential, tangled hierarchies, a concept further connected to the historical cycle of geopolitical nodes undergoing quantum-like superposition and decay. Conversely, the second source offers a Marxist definition of class that dismisses income and lifestyle, asserting that class is primarily a relationship of exploitation determined by whether a person must sell their labor for a wage. Based on this material reality, the article concludes that the working class constitutes the overwhelming majority of the population, even including many professional occupations.
