Reverse-Engineering Consciousness
From biological neurons to silicon substrate — a blueprint for the next threshold of intelligence.
True Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) requires reverse-engineering the human brain's 86 billion neurons onto a 3D neuromorphic substrate — moving beyond algorithmic approximations toward structural emulation.
The Aeterna Codex leverages silicon photonics and memristor synapses to host high-fidelity neural networks that mirror biological complexity, enabling genuine substrate-independent cognition at planetary scale.
