BTW, there are other volumes which were published on SIGI-2025, but I haven't mentioned in the blog yet.
"Listove" is the second biggest volume after the main one, a seed and food for thought, combining a lot of surveys with the most relevant and important ideas, with interpretations, discussions and my views, related work, additions, recommendations, insights (...) on all kinds of fields, related to AI, Machine Learning, computational neuroscience, robotics, philosophy, cognitive science , interdisciplinary mixtures of all, life-and-technology-, cybernetics, panpsychism, ... (...).
It could have been published earlier as most of the volumes, but I've been extending it as it didn't feel complete yet. In the current layout and content it's about 580 pages, combining Bulgarian and English sections - today and tomorrow the language of the base versions would become less relevant.

In the thread about yet unrecognized contributions of Theory of Universe and Mind (TUM), two of the latest discovered matches to are for example a reminder of the relation of the school of "Relevance Realization" to TUM. One of their leaders of that school was John Vaervecke. These days I discovered a modern overview and restatement of these ideas from 2024, he is a co-author. It matches on structural levels, while it carries contrasting differences in the interpretation and the scope, for example they limit their framework only to living organisms and deny the "computation" - however by limiting it to "Turing..." - while TUM is about everything and it is called also The Universe Computer. In the early 2000s I talked about "Turing machines" and "Von Neumann", but they were components, my model is hierarchical, multi-scale, multi-range, multi-precision, multi-domain-... which works and aims for "matches", implying partial ones, and not about a flat TM - at least for the data that we can record from the Universe for one, which is not only "1s and 0s" or "symbols" - it has types, it is "strongly typed"
Another curious match was with the so called "Wolpert theorem" and other ideas regarding predictability which the author of the paper about "No free launch" restates years for the first and up to 16 years for the second paper. Matt Mahoney called one theorem with his name in a discussion in AGI List in August, and recently discovered the work with this theorem randomly: while revisiting and rereading the intro of "Algorithmic Complexity" - the appendix to The Prophets and questioning whether "Universe as Computer" is grammatically correct. I searched and found a paper, which were used the same form and was citing that paper, which lead to another one - restating with mathematical formulas, but also confused premises (missing the multi- ... nature of TUM) - that kind of tautological math is prone to their "paradoxes".
I will be more specific later. There are tons of materials for publishing in all domains, as well as media;
One super cool and funny Yunashka* rock and roll song which I wrote in July is waiting to compile its video clip. .
