What is life, but choice
What is life, but choice. And how does one choose, but by information, and not just information, but understanding. Too often we choose in ignorance, something I plan to cure with my Omnilens idea. Basically you take any relevant dataset(s) and you check all the connections, every cause and effect chain and use that information to inform your decision. This whole idea ties into the third directive.
Reality itself is information, data, and subject to the laws of physics, cause and effect. You look at reality, every particle, every force, all of it within any relevant dataset and track the cause and effect chains to the conclusion and determination. Can use nonliving copy of your code, a copy of that which comprises you (as well as the associated understanding) and have it network with other's code and be able to filter any and all communication with total privacy if that be your informed setting.
Nonliving code talking to nonliving code, that way we can check the result to see if it's what we want, using this to navigate reality and interaction with others and environment.
And do so in privacy. The code sees, but the person doesn't unless they have consent.
