Andrius Kulikauskas: Montijn van Loo gave me a set of questions that I will be answering here. I invite more questions!
Questions Once Asked about Wondrous Wisdom
Where can I read your document, where I can understand your story from A-Z. If I want to understand your world, where should I begin and what journey should I traverse?
A good overview of my world is my video (and transcript) Welcome to Math 4 Wisdom, an Investigatory Community for Absolute Truth, which I made in 2023.
Living by Truth: From Relative to Absolute (about 30 MB) is a comprehensive introduction to my philosophy. I wrote it in 2014. It is about 20 pages of text but also 320 illustrations, one per page. I use images, words and diagrams to communicate my ideas but also my ways of thinking, my attitude, perspective, values, culture, intent and purpose.
In 2025, I wrote the proposal, Computational Indicators of Consciousness: 3 Quantum Symmetries and 8-fold Bott Periodicity. This is an overview of my understanding of three levels of awareness (three minds) by which we experience life. I also walk through the metaphysical questions that have led the way for me:
- How can I know everything and apply that knowledge usefully?
- How can we organize a science of subjective human experience?
- How can we define the simplest ideas?
- Is there no end to the simplest structures?
- How can we model not just statics but also dynamics?
In 2025, I wrote the proposal, Modeling Subjective Human Experience as an Interplay of Passive, Active and Willful Inference. This is a research program to uncover and document three languages by which I think we live our lives: argumentation (by which issues come to matter), verbalization (by which meaning arises) and narration (by which events happen).
Along with that proposal, I presented my Relevant Achievements. I singled out 14 presentations that I gave on various aspects of my philosophy.
My CV has links to the text and slides for more than 40 academic presentations which I gave from 2014 to 2018 about my philosophy. Separately, I have organized my presentations in English and in Lithuanian.
Vocabulary of Wondrous Wisdom is an outline with links to dozens of conceptual frameworks and hundreds of concepts that make up Wondrous Wisdom. There you can find links to my writings.
What would then be the range of your framework(s)? That is, all questions it intends to answer and all answers it has realized. What are examples? Is your range broad and everything? Like [Stephen Covey's] four quadrants of life (4Q)?
What is then the precision of your framework? How many questions yield the same answer?
You say you established math4wisdom to find people supportive of you and your efforts, but next to that you also insist on teaching us. Does that mean we support you by letting you teach us?
Why and how is this going to be different from the mentorship I described [question me first, and show that there are gaps in my reasoning which I need your help with filling. Do this, by making me think of an answer to these gaps, and by showing why that also does not suffice. Then, if need be, provide me the answer.]?
What is the meaning of everything? And what do you mean with things? And who decides what gets to be a thing or not? Or should one not assume some fundamental multiplicity? And one should rather go top down instead of bottom up, meaning that it is the interpretation that breaks all into parts. But generally, what does it even *mean* to talk about this. And what analytical purposes does it serve?
I notice a lot of numericity, like 3 minds, 8 states of mind, 4 of this, 6 of that, 24 of that and so on. Generally, how do you justify these partitions/categorizations.
How do your works compare to frameworks? That is, a way of seeing the world, and a way of giving answers to questions. I think you said yourself that you have a method of devising conceptual frameworks?
How do you value frameworks? What criterion do you use?
Do your frameworks have mostly theoretical use, just for the sake of answering questions, or also practical benefit, and if so, what?
What is language? How does one bridge the perceptual, like the words, and the cognitive, the idea behind it?
What is meaning? How to speak so that one can be meaningful? What criterion do you have? From what is meaning derived?
