Play is a Meta Intelligence

Dear Gregory J Chaitin,

Thank you for your reply. I was surprised that you recognized the fountain of the playing children on our website, and that you have visited Odense while you were in Denmark. Tor Norretranders I briefly communicated with, after reading his book “The User Illusion”. He at the time was busy working on his latest book.

I was also glad to hear you enjoyed seeing the children and families playing at Tivoli Park , and that you yourself are playing with ideas. You also mentioned in your letter your own surprise that people who like Lego would also like metamathematics.

I thought it would be interesting to show you something now, how I also play with ideas. I am now beginning to communicatie to Lego and other businesses, institutes, and educational centres, that “Play is a Meta Intelligence”, a meta model. Lego was open to hear that they have a Meta Model .
And like Meta mathematics I See the Meta aspect not so much as an overview “over” view or a “behind” view , but something which is deeply involved in the whole process, not only behind, but also together, and also playing such an influence that it also changes the object of attention so to speak, this could also be a mathematical formula or a simple number.
I took some photos yesterday, wondering how I could demonstrate to you “What I am Playing with” I hope you Enjoy them. As I also love to play with ideas.
Meta Models = behind= together= changes
In the first photo there are three models, a house, a figure, and an animal. Each model contains 40 identical lego bricks (together) Here one can see that within each model is the potential to be another model. Each model can break down and transform itself into another model. This process is infinite, or in other words limited only by the amount of Lego Bricks, in this case; Lego: there are enough Lego bricks in the world so that each human being in the world today, could own 62 pieces.

Each model above could also represent a mathematical formula, a mathematical model for example; model 1, model 2, model 3, or alternatively one could call them, model 1, and model 1, model 1 They are all model “1’s” but each model “1” is arranged differently. They could also be called number 1 number 1 number 1

Unlike Multi-models, these Models, can build models which are not in the photo, do not exist yet (change).

On first glance, these models appear to be complete: a finished model, such as a house , a figure, an animal. They are still open, they are still open to what is behind them, what is together with them, and what changes them. And this which is (behind and together and changes) they already have within them, because in reality each one of them is not a model at all, Each and everyone of them is a metamodel And each and everyone of them has the potential to build an infinite number of “1’s” or “2’s “or” 3’s” for that matter……They will accept and can create any model simply because they are the mother of all models.

For the Mother of all Models, is the original Lego brick.


In the second photo one can see one of the models(Meta Model) is about to accept the Mother of all these 3 models (the Metamodel).
All of these models will accept the mother of all models, accept what is behind within them what is together with them and what will changes them. These models are open ended they are a process, they are not a product, A closed system IE. A Model.. all models are closed, or you could say, a wooden house, a wooden doll, a wooden animal, they cannot change, they cannot become another model.
Multi models are built from models upon models, each model unable to become the other.
Meta models are different, they have the structure for creating genius;
Meta Mathematics, computers, Lego, artificial Intelligence, Intelligence, Play.

and to put this into an overall Meta perspective, here is the next 2 photos


in a room full of IBM computers.
I hope you can find this interesting and of value and once again thank you for responding warmly to my original letter.
Kind regards
James
