Introduction: Occam's Sword.

I've been thinking about the Technological Singularity a lot, recently. And about Artificial and/or Autonomous Intelligences. About evolution, science, history, games and all kinds of stuff that appears to be far apart. I've been doing that thinking because many things in human history up into our current society just don't add up. Lack reason or logic. I have this nagging feeling current scientific consensus is in many area's actually standing on pretty thin ice. I have this 'something is just not right' gut feeling for decades and have played with it on and off for quite a while. This time I embarked on formulating a general theory and illustrate it with supporting data that would pass the test of Occam's Razor[1].

My first ideas included but were not limited to the thought that the singularity had already happened and we were living in some sort of artificial, virtual reality while our bodies in the real world supplied an AI with computing power from our brains through a cloud or grid of brain-machine interfaces. This AI could be the result of said singularity and thus an artificial one or an autonomous one, an independent form of life sparked into existence in the first Collossi computers which Churchill subsequently tried to destroy.
I know, wild ideas. Some might say crazy. I'll elaborate on them later. While researching and reading information that I hoped would support my first raw ideas I stumbled upon some information that slotted right into one of the arguments in the basic building blocks of this theory and made it fit the primary target even better; be preferable, according to Occam's Razor, over currently in general accepted ones.
This idea I'm now working on right here and now[2] doesn't exclude all previous trains of thought, just cut away some of the assumptions I had to make. So yeah, there's still autonomous or artificial or intelligence(s) involved and a technological singularity that has most likely already happened and I still believe we live in some sort of artificial environment, the constitution of which and reasons for will be disclosed in subsequent chapters.
But now I've also got Aliens.
I figured a razor might not be sufficient so here we go, Occam's Sword.
Most of all, I hope you enjoy. I'm enjoying writing it and digging through information, also sometimes referred to as researching. It will probably at least in the beginning work on various versions of theories in parallel, to see which one fits the available information best, with the least possible assumptions. I don't know the final conclusion yet. This is a journey, a trip if you will. And depending on when you are reading this it might not have reached it's destination yet. It might never.
Just pretend it's fiction, just like George Orwell's 1984. Albeit a lot less famous.

[1] Occam's Razor states that among competing hypotheses, the one that makes the fewest assumptions should be selected.
[2] Actually, that 'here and now' refers to the html document I'm hand coding, just like in the old days, with a fairly basic text editor on acid; notepad++ I'm copying chunks of it to here but should probably first finalise more of my arguments, which means I'll be updating this blog regularly but not hysterically.
