Autognorics
Aneural Autognorization: Creating a Living Machine!
Before we discuss how possible it is to build a living machine, let us first redefine the essential stages that come along with the criteria of life based on the study on Originemology (origin of origins). Then, let us utilize this revised knowledge of life in comparison with newborns and machines to rationalize the feasibility of making a living system. And finally, let us examine step by step the basic cycles of transformation in the realization of a living machine through autognorization.
The science of creating engineered life forms, things, machines, or systems is called Autognorics. It was conceptualized by revisionist Lawsin in 1988 who wanted to shape up the framework of artificial intelligence and machine learning by introducing a new paradigm known as Aneural Autognorics. IOs and EIs are the main elements in this new paragon of creating synthetic life-forms called Gnorics.
Autognorization, otherwise known as ELFS, which stands for Engineered Life-Forms System, is the system, process, or approach by which intuitive objects, embedded inscriptions, and the inverse-reverse dimetrix are incorporated together in the creation of a living machine or system that embodies the six signatures of life, namely: the mechanization of aliveness, the sensation of awareness, the codification of consciousness, the intuitiveness of logic, the experience of living, and the aneural acknowledgment of information.
The individual entity or machine that is capable of knowing itself and its external environments is called Autognorics. Gnorics is an entity synonymous with life-forms. Examples of such species are human beings that exhibit self-knowledge using the brain (neural) and the Zoikrons that display the characteristics of a self-knowledge being but without the need of the brain (aneural).
According to Lawsin, Life evolves from being alive to being living. It is a process that is governed by seven stages. He classified the sequence based on the state of being of the individual. The Seven Orders of Life or SOL:
- Alive = consumes energy without the need for neural reasoning (eat).
- Aware = sends and receives signals using sensors without the need for neural reasoning (grab).
- Conscious = match things with things without the need for neural reasoning (point/play).
- Intuitive = chooses this or that without the need for neural reasoning (trial and error).
- Inlearn = knowledge (mama/papa)
- Living = experiences (social)
- Self = emergence
| Age | Babies | Machines | Both |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-2 | alive | alive | consumes energy |
| 2-3 | aware | aware | senses with sensors |
| 3-5 | conscious | conscious | matches objects |
| 6-7 | intuitive | intuitive | selects this or that |
| 8-9 | neural | aneural | informed / knowledge |
| 10+ | living | living | socialize / reproduce / live |
Let us examine the revised criteria of Life in the list by comparison.
Lawsin redefined Alive or aliveness as the ability of an organism to self-consume energy provided by an external source. An infant, when guided, gets his/her energy from his/her mother's milk, an external source. A machine, when guided, gets its energy from a charging station or a solar panel, another external source. Technically, the machine and baby are both considered alive.
Awareness, meanwhile, is redefined based on two prerequisites. First, the object is alive, and second, it is equipped with intuitive sensors. A newborn is aware because he/she consumes energy and his/her physical body is rig with common sensors like the ears, eyes, nose, and skin to name a few. However, these sensors function without the intervention of the brain at the early stage of the life of the baby. A machine is as well aware when it self-consumes energy and is automated with intuitive or wise sensors. The intuitive objects are triggered dimetrically by Inscription by Design. Here, the baby and the machine are alive and aware but not conscious, intuitive, informed, and living yet.
Consciousness, on the other, is redefined bound by three requirements, namely, aliveness, awareness, and codification. An object is conscious when it self-consumes energy, driven by sensors, and codifies things. Codification or codexation is the key factor in identifying when an object is conscious or not. Codexation is the self-ability of an organism to associate an object with another object unknowingly. In other words, a machine is conscious when it self-consumes energy, equipped with sensors, and matches objects. A baby, at a certain point in her/his early life, can stacks colorful bricks unknowingly without the help of the brain. This action shows that one can be alive, aware, and conscious even without the help of the brain. Here, the baby and the machine are alive, aware, and conscious, but not yet rational, neural, and living.
Intuitiveness or logic is redefined depending on four determinants: aliveness, awareness, consciousness, and intuitiveness. An object is logical when it self-consumes energy, driven by sensors, codifies things, and able to rational or choose. The self ability to choose is the key factor in identifying when an object is logical. This behavior is influenced by the Theory of the Second Option or the This or That Rule. The baby and the machine, in this case, are alive, aware, conscious, intuitive, but not yet aneural, and living.
ANeural is defined contingent on five benchmarks: aliveness, awareness, consciousness, intuitiveness, and aneuralness. An object is neural when it self-consumes energy, driven by sensors, codifies things, selects options, and with knowledge. The ability to use knowledge is the key mark that identifies when an object is neural. Mnimi ("Mindness") is a memory classified as neural and aneural. In this scenario, the baby and the machine are alive, aware, conscious, intuitive, and aneural (a brain without the brain).
In summary, Life is defined based on one or all the following SOL:
- Aliveness
- Awareness
- Consciousness
- Intuitiveness
- Inlearness
- Lifeness
- Selfness
Autognorics is the study of engineered life forms known as ELFS. It proposes the theory of Intuitive Aneural Networks (IAN), a concept central to Lawsin's research on A Brain Without the Brain. It is part of the Brein Theory, which explores Binary Embedded Inscriptions Nodes (BREINS), Binary Inherent Network Systems (BINS), Aneural Memory Blocks (AMB), Intuitive Machines (IM), Inscription by Design (ID), and Single Theory of Everything (STOE). Lawsin discovered that IAN naturally occurs in both living and nonliving entities, often manifesting as natural laws, geometrical patterns, or structural designs.
IAN functions as a memory network where information is inherently embedded within the structure of objects, whether figures, shapes, or forms. However, it often appears as a black box, possessing observable inputs and outputs while concealing an unseen set of embedded instructions known as Inscriptions. At its core, IAN consists of Binary Embedded Inscriptions Nodes (BREINS), forming a Binary Inherent Network Storage System (BINS). Every entity carries two fundamental inscriptions, encoded within its structure—a principle referred to as the Grand Order of Inscriptions by Design.
Interconnecting links, known as Gnomic Synapses (GNOMI), are essential in activating stored information, allowing objects to unknowingly remember data based on these connections. These crossing points facilitate signal transmission between structures, enabling larger structures to store and recall greater amounts of information. When new structures integrate into a network, new memory packets are generated, enhancing the system’s ability to retain and recall data. However, disruptions in synaptic alignment can distort or alter stored memories, affecting the integrity of information.
IAN operates as an aneural system composed of inscriptions structured into functional algorithms, including those for thinking, emotions and feelings, hearing, seeing, and tasting. The execution of each algorithm depends on signal reception and memory placement, much like the spatial relationships of sensory organs—eyes, ears, nose, and mouth—relative to the brain. This concept parallels biological neural networks but without the reliance on traditional neural pathways.
Ultimately, IAN represents a linear aneural intelligence system capable of storing and processing information without neurons or a conventional brain. Functioning as a queue-based network, data is sequentially stored, accessed, and processed, revealing a unique perspective on intelligence beyond neural dependency. Examples of IAN illustrate how structured inscriptions facilitate intuitive memory processing, reinforcing its role as a system that transcends traditional models of cognition and information retention.

CHAPTER 4 INSCRIPTION BY DESIGN
"Not all living things have brains."
================================================
Chapter 4 - I will discuss here Introduction to Inscription by Design, then its components of Intuitive materials and Embedded Instructions. Then discuss the Lawsinium Cat that will lead to inscriptions and Algorithms. Then provide some examples of how inherent internal inscription works like in Circles and other examples in biological, artificial, natural, and cosmic systems. Then I will show how information is stored using the Brein Theory. Then classify Neural and Aneural Brain. Show some examples of Intutive Aneural System (IAN) and the birth of Inscriptionism.
================================================
The world operates on a foundation of systems and processes, many of which we see and interact with daily but rarely question. At its core, the concept of Inscription by Design seeks to uncover how these systems originate and function—how raw information transforms into purposeful structures. Inscription by Design, a key pillar of Originemology, reveals that the universe is guided by a dual framework of Intuitive Materials and Embedded Instructions. Together, these components drive the emergence, operation, and evolution of everything—from the smallest biological cell to the vast expanse of the cosmos.
To illustrate this concept, we turn to a playful yet profound thought experiment: the Lawsinium Cat. Much like its philosophical predecessor, Schrödinger’s Cat, this model leads us into the realm of inscriptions and algorithms, showcasing how systems can both be observed and understood through the lens of inherent internal instructions. The Lawsinium Cat invites us to rethink how information is encoded within systems and how those inscriptions influence behavior and function, providing a bridge into the realm of algorithms and systematic design.
As we delve deeper, it becomes evident that inscriptions are not confined to theoretical constructs—they are observable in natural, artificial, and even cosmic systems. Consider the perfection of a circle in geometric terms: its continuity and symmetry exemplify inherent internal instructions that guide its creation and representation. Similarly, biological systems—such as the genetic code—operate based on encoded instructions that dictate the replication and function of life. Artificial systems, like algorithms in computer programs, mirror these principles, with codes and scripts dictating their behavior. Even in the cosmos, celestial patterns and formations hint at underlying inscriptions governing their existence. These examples serve as a testament to the universality of Inscription by Design.
But how is all this information stored, processed, and utilized? Enter the Brein Theory, a revolutionary concept that explores how inscriptions are retained within systems. By classifying brains into Neural and Aneural, the Brein Theory expands our understanding of cognition, showing that intelligence and information storage are not exclusive to neural networks. Intuitive Aneural Systems (IANs)—systems without a physical brain—exhibit behaviors and responses driven by embedded instructions, proving that intelligence can emerge in forms beyond our traditional biological understanding.
The emergence of these ideas leads to the dawn of Inscriptionism, a paradigm that redefines how we view the mechanisms of creation and function across systems. Inscriptionism celebrates the principles of design embedded in both living and non-living systems, revealing that everything operates based on inherent instructions, intuitive materials, and systematic processes.
Chapter 4 embarks on a journey to unpack these ideas. From the foundational elements of Inscription by Design to the Brein Theory and the classification of neural and aneural brains, it dives into the mechanisms underlying creation, intelligence, and systemic design. Through illustrative examples across biology, artificial systems, and the cosmos, this chapter seeks to illuminate how inscriptions govern the world we inhabit, offering a glimpse into the intricate tapestry of information that shapes existence.
— Inscription by Design
What if the universe didn’t begin with a bang or a breath. But with an instruction?
Not shouted. Not written. Just… there. Quietly waiting to unfold. Every form is a memory. Every object, a message.
This is the principle at the heart of Inscription by Design.
That nothing in existence—no atom, no animal, no star—emerges without a hidden set of rules buried inside it.
Not chaos. Not accident. But inscription.
Every system we see—biological or cosmic, digital or ancient—
Carries something within:
A blueprint.
An impulse.
A sentence it seems to already know how to read.
This is where Exsynology begins.
A field not of numbers, but of meanings folded into form.
The idea that every object—living or still—contains within it an embedded script.
Not written in ink. But in structure.
In balance.
In behavior.
A lever knows how to move.
A spiral knows how to tighten.
A circle knows how to close.
And what of the brain?
The Brein Theory offers something bold: That information need not live inside neurons. That even without a brain, systems can remember. React. Know.
A seashell.
A tide.
A flame.
No consciousness, yet still: something guides them.
This is not superstition. It is instruction without awareness.
Design without desire.
These inscriptions don’t speak in words.
They echo in patterns:
- The way a crystal fractures
- The curve of an orbit
- The hum of a code
They’re stored not in libraries, but in matter itself.
Matter that remembers what it is.
This is the essence of Intelligence by Design.
Not the kind that dreams.
The kind that behaves.
A thing, built of material and instruction,
carrying both in every fold.
What looks like simplicity
is often just memorized complexity.
Even machines mimic this rhythm.
In the CAT Algorithm, Lawsin showed how scattered data, once organized, began to behave—
not randomly,
but procedurally.
Trigger a step, and the next follows.
Trigger enough, and the system knows what to do.
As if the knowledge had been there all along—
Waiting to activate.
So perhaps the cosmos is not a puzzle,
but a program.
One that grows itself,
line by line,
form by form.
> And perhaps everything we see—
> From pine cones to galaxies—
> Is just a long equation slowly solving itself.
— Inscription
The world is not built. It unfolds—through what it's made of, and what it remembers.
If everything carries instructions, then what exactly are things made of?
Not just in terms of atoms or elements,
but in terms of what causes form to become functional.
This brings us to the principle of Creatio ex Materia et Instructione—Creation from Material and Instruction.
It’s a shift away from traditional origins.
Not divine sparks.
Not random explosions.
But a quiet partnership between substance and code.
Inscription by Design proposes that nothing emerges without embedded structure. That materials—be they wooden tools or space stations—are not passive matter, but intuitive systems. They behave the way they do not because someone told them how… but because their space and shape demand it.
They are born knowing.
To see this clearly, we split the world in two:
- Physicals – tangible things like rocks, circuits, trees, atoms.
Built from matter, energy, by-materials like weight or volume.
- Abstracts – concepts, values, thoughts, language.
Not built from matter at all. But still very real in their effects.
And yet, both are bound by inscriptions—
natural, internal instructions that guide how they appear and behave.
Here’s the twist:
When these embedded instructions are activated—by heat, light, time, touch—they don’t just exist.
They awaken.
This phenomenon is called the Inscriptional Animation Effect.
The moment when something inert becomes active, not because it gains a soul—
but because its instructions begin to run.
Like a match struck.
Or a seed breaking open.
Or a thought that suddenly knows what it’s about to become.
It’s important to draw a subtle line here.
- Algorithms are programmed—written from the outside in.
- Inscriptions are embedded—written from the inside out.
Both are sequences of behavior.
But one is external design.
The other is native identity.
Nature, in this view, becomes the original architect.
The ultimate coder.
The mother of all information.
Lawsin describes every entity—hammer, heart, horizon—as a kind of neuron
in a vast, cosmic mind.
Each object contributes its unique piece of instruction—
not as a machine, but as a memory that behaves.
Here, information, instruction, and material are inseparable.
An object is never just “something.”
It is also:
- The data it holds
- The structure it reveals
- The procedure it performs
And when enough of these instructions repeat—across systems, across time—
they become Laws.
Not laws we invent.
But laws we discover.
To explore this, Lawsin created the CAT Algorithm Experiment—a simulation of how raw fragments of information evolve into coherent, functioning systems.
It revealed something profound:
Instructions don’t always need authors.
Sometimes, they just need triggers.
And when they’re triggered, they unfold in logical, cascading steps,
like dominos with memory.
The system becomes the story of its own execution.
This isn’t just philosophy.
It’s a new kind of literacy—
a way of reading what things are silently doing.
It tells us that structure is never meaningless.
That material is never mute.
That every form—whether it’s visible or abstract—
carries something waiting to be understood.
And so, as we go deeper into Chapter 4, we’re not just looking at what’s built.
We’re listening to what was already encoded.
— The CAT
How a cat learned to escape—without being taught, without being told.
How does a creature learn something no one ever showed it?
How do disconnected actions—kicking, gasping, swimming—become a single, elegant solution?
What causes a body to suddenly “know” what to do?
These questions lie at the center of the Lawsinium Cat Experiment, formally called the Cumulative Acquisition of TransInformation—C.A.T. for short.
It’s a thought experiment, yes. But also a lens.
One that reveals how intelligence isn't inherited like eye color.
It’s built—out of experience.
Meet UNO—an imaginary cat in a very real situation.
He’s placed in a transparent tank filled with water. No prior training. No guidance. No instruction manual.
Just instinct. Or maybe… just discomfort.
And this is where the story begins.
At first, UNO flails.
But frame by frame, motion by motion, he begins to adjust:
- Kicking.
- Floating.
- Finding air.
- Locating the ladder.
- Climbing out.
What started as chaos slowly becomes choreography.
> A survival sequence emerges—not taught, but created.
Lawsin calls this a prior-procedure: a self-generated, modular package of instructions.
Not given from outside. Not written in genes.
But constructed internally, in response to reality.
If this sequence is repeated enough, it hardens into an after-procedure—a behavioral loop that now runs automatically.
We might call that “instinct.”
But the experiment says otherwise.
> What we label instinct is often just experience made efficient.
At its heart, the experiment shows that intelligence is not a trait.
It is a process.
UNO did not escape the tank because he was born knowing how.
He escaped because discomfort triggered a chain of small insights.
Each one became a step.
Each step became a system.
That system became knowledge.
This is the Inscriptional Animation Effect—where pain, need, fear, or disruption cause instructions to activate.
Instructions that were never coded manually.
Instructions that weren’t even “known.”
Just latent potential, reacting to stimuli.
UNO’s drive to survive wasn't a miracle.
It was a triggered procedure.
Pain was the input.
Escape was the output.
Lawsin identified this cumulative mechanism as the C.A.T. Process:
- Cumulative Acquisition
- Compilation
- Translation into action
This is how scattered input becomes systematized.
How inlearning happens.
How life scripts itself.
The model is built on several key ideas:
- The Think Factor: How living beings extract information from the world
- The Think Effect: The levels or hierarchies of emerging intelligence
- The Inlearning Konstant: How experience converts into stored instruction
- The Zizo Effect: The precise trigger that activates behavior
- And Life itself: the act of executing what was learned
And so, with one cat, we return to a deeper truth:
> That the universe doesn’t hand out instructions.
> It embeds them.
Life becomes a sequence of systems reacting to need, to pressure, to opportunity.
And intelligence—the thing we once thought divine, or inherited—is now revealed as the outcome of something far quieter:
> Instruction, waiting to be awakened.
— IBD Examples
The world doesn’t move randomly. It remembers how to move.
If Inscription by Design is the theory…
then these are its fingerprints.
Not metaphors. Not speculation.
But instructions, hiding in plain sight—across every corner of existence.
Let’s walk through some of the systems where this internal scripting becomes unmistakably clear.
* Biological Systems
Life doesn’t wait for commands—it is built to follow them.
- DNA and the Genetic Code
Every strand is a living archive. It tells the cell what to do, when to grow, how to heal, and even when to end. Not poetry. Instruction.
- Cell Division (Mitosis & Meiosis)
Step-by-step sequences, timed like a symphony—proof that even replication follows a rhythm it didn’t invent, but inherited.
- Neural Pathways
Synapses fire in patterns. Memory, habit, learning—all sculpted by pre-scripted plasticity.
- Flowering Plants
Some bloom only when light speaks to them. The message? “Now.” A code, nestled inside the leaf, responding to temperature and time.
* Artificial Systems
We didn’t teach machines to think.
We embedded instruction, then watched them follow it.
- Computer Algorithms
A search engine doesn’t wonder. It retrieves. It ranks. It executes—because its code tells it how.
- Self-Driving Cars
Lanes. Obstacles. GPS. Every decision stems from logic born in a line of code.
- 3D Printers
Layer by layer, object by object—each form emerging not from randomness, but from digital instruction rendered in plastic.
- Artificial Neural Networks
Even machines now learn—because we gave them algorithms that remember.
* Geometrical Systems
Shapes don’t just look elegant. They behave predictably—because their properties are instructions in form.
- The Circle
Every point equidistant from the center. Pi folded into space. A perfect loop of intention.
- Triangles
Add the angles: always 180°. This isn’t opinion. It’s embedded law.
- Fibonacci Spirals
Found in pinecones. In waves. In galaxies. A number sequence that whispers “grow this way.”
- Fractals
Infinite detail. Self-similarity. Structure inside structure. Recursion, written in design.
* Cosmic Systems
Even the stars follow scripts.
- Orbital Paths
Planetary motion obeys Kepler’s laws like a dance choreographed before time had a name.
- Black Holes
Light warps. Time bends. And even those distortions follow the rules written into spacetime itself.
- Cosmic Background Radiation
The universe’s baby picture. Encoded in photons. Inscribed across the sky.
- Galactic Spirals & the Golden Ratio
Beauty you can measure. Order hidden inside chaos.
* Natural Systems (Weather & Earth Forces)
The atmosphere doesn’t guess. It calculates.
- The Water Cycle
Evaporation. Condensation. Rain. A loop of thermal logic embedded in hydrogen and oxygen.
- Wind Patterns
Air moves from high pressure to low. The Coriolis effect spins it. Geography shapes it. Nothing is random.
- Hurricanes
Heat rises. Pressure drops. Storms organize. The sky remembers how to swirl.
- Cloud Formation
Tiny vapor molecules make decisions: cling or float. Collect or fall. All dictated by physics embedded inside water itself.
- Seasons
Tilt the planet. Orbit the sun. Watch the instructions unfold in warmth and cold.
- Thunder & Lightning
Static builds. Thresholds cross. Energy leaps. Even chaos, it seems, is predictable when decoded.
- Ocean Currents
Temperature, salinity, rotation—all orchestrated. The sea flows because it remembers how.
From cell to storm, algorithm to orbit—
> Every system operates not because it “knows”…
> But because it was inscribed with knowing.
That is the essence of Inscription by Design.
Not control.
But inherited rhythm.
Not coincidence.
But embedded recurrence.
To study these inscriptions is to uncover the memory of reality itself.
And we’ve only just begun to listen.
— The Brein Theory
A brainless mind. A system that remembers without remembering.
We’ve long believed that thinking requires neurons.
That intelligence lives in the folds of the brain.
That memory must pass through synapses to be real.
But what if that’s only part of the story?
What if intelligence didn’t need a brain... to know?
Enter the Brein Theory—short for Binary Embedded Instruction Networks.
It challenges the old premise head-on:
> That memory isn't housed in neurons.
> It’s woven into structure.
Joey Lawsin developed this idea while studying Autognorics—engineered life systems that behave intelligently without being conscious.
What he found was quietly radical:
> Every system, from plants to machines, carries within it instructions—not stored in a brain, but inscribed into shape, form, and interaction.
These are called breins.
They aren’t organs. They aren’t wires.
They’re embedded instructions—active or inactive, binary at their core.
Each system holds two kinds of inscriptions, folded into its geometry. Together, they form what Lawsin called the Grand Order of Inscription by Design.
Some systems have neurons. But many don’t. And still—they know what to do.
To see how, we break systems into seven parts:
1. Input – the signal
2. Medium – the pathway
3. Output – the result
4. Collector – the sensor
5. Carrier – the conduit
6. Actuator – the responder
7. Trigger – the energy that makes it all go
A classic string telephone reveals it clearly:
Speak into one can (collector), and your voice vibrates the string (carrier), traveling to the second can (actuator).
Your breath is the trigger.
Your words are the signal.
The system never wondered what to do.
It just followed its design.
Even an electrical circuit speaks brein logic.
- A switch (collector) receives your touch
- A wire (carrier) moves the current
- A bulb (actuator) lights the room
The system doesn’t decide.
It executes.
Its entire behavior flows from ON/OFF logic, embedded at every point.
Breins exist wherever something responds to something else—without needing to think about it.
> Intelligence isn’t a brain.
> It’s instruction, brought to life by need.
And this is where IANs emerge—Intuitive Aneural Networks.
Systems that are:
- Biological, like plants routing water and bending toward light
- Artificial, like computers reading data from silicon
- Linear, like a spider web that feels movement through tension
- Living, like jellyfish navigating currents without minds
- Planetary, like Nature herself—processing and reacting through trillions of unconnected, embedded instructions
Each one operates not by command, but by condition.
Something triggers something else, and the chain moves forward.
No leader.
No headquarters.
Just a memory... diffused across the body of the system.
So perhaps we’ve misunderstood.
Perhaps thought isn’t an organ.
Perhaps memory isn’t stored—it’s performed.
> A door isn’t “smart” because it knows how to open.
> It opens... because it was built to.
And that’s the quiet brilliance of the Brein Theory.
It tells us that intelligence doesn’t need neurons.
Just a system inscribed with possibility.
— IAN Theory
When memory is everywhere, and intelligence needs no center.
Memory has always been understood as a function of the brain. Neurons fire. Synapses connect. Thought emerges.
But what if intelligence doesn’t need a brain? What if memory isn’t stored in gray matter… but in structure itself?
This is the revelation behind the IAN Theory—Intuitive Aneural Networks—a vital extension of the Brein Theory. It offers a reimagining of how systems think, remember, and behave without neurons, without minds, without traditional architecture.
At the heart of IANs lie breins—binary embedded instructions. Not codes we’ve written, but rules the universe has folded into form.
These breins are arranged into BINS—Binary Inherent Network Storage systems. The network isn’t digital. It isn’t electric. It’s structural. And it doesn’t reside in one organ. It lives everywhere a system remembers what to do when something happens.
IANs represent systems that respond, store, and process—without thinking.
Because they don’t need to.
They were built to know.
Every functioning system follows a 7-part choreography:
1. Input — the incoming signal
2. Medium — the path the signal takes
3. Output — the system's response
4. Collector — the part that receives the signal
5. Carrier — the mechanism that delivers it
6. Actuator — the component that produces the result
7. Trigger — the energy that activates it all
These fall into two categories:
- Materials (collector, carrier, actuator)
- By-materials (input, medium, output)
Together, they make intelligence possible without a brain.
Now imagine a system where input leads to output... but the how remains invisible. We see the start and end, but not the steps in between.
This is the IAN black box:
An intuitive system with hidden internal logic—its Inscriptions.
Signals flow. Responses emerge. But no neuron ever fired.
Within these networks are gnomic synapses, or GNOMI—the quiet connections that link one part of the system to another. They act like bridges: transmitters of triggers.
- More components mean more memory.
- Stronger connections mean more precision.
- Misalign just one part, and the whole system forgets.
This isn't a metaphor.
It’s physical cognition, etched into matter itself.
Each IAN operates by embedded algorithms—some designed, some evolved, some simply present.
- A storm cloud “knows” how to form.
- A plant “knows” how to reach light.
- A spider “knows” something’s landed.
And none of them think.
They remember—mechanically, structurally, intuitively.
Consider these IAN systems:
- Electrical Circuit – Sensors receive, wires carry, bulbs respond. No brain—just behavior.
- Computers – Keyboards, drives, chips. Logic wrapped in metal and code.
- Spiderweb – A fly vibrates the silk. The spider senses the shift. The trap responds.
- Plant Networks – Veins and roots store rhythms of water, heat, and growth. No commands. Just continuity.
Each one stores not data, but embedded reactions.
Humans use neurons. But IANs prove neurons are not the only path.
Memory is not confined to grey matter. It can exist in circuits, in strings, in roots, in patterns. It can live in anything that holds instruction.
So what is intelligence?
Is it thought? Or is it action that knows what it’s doing—without needing to wonder why?
IANs invite us to see cognition not as a privilege of minds…
But as a property of design.
> When instruction is embedded,
> behavior becomes inevitable.
And that is the quiet power of Intuitive Aneural Networks.
— Inscriptionism
A universe made not by chance, but by code—hidden, inherent, and everywhere.
If every system carries instructions...
If every object behaves not randomly, but as if it remembers something—
Then what if this isn’t just a theory of how things work—
But a philosophy of how everything becomes?
This is the heart of Inscriptionism—a worldview introduced by Joey Lawsin, and now emerging as the metaphysical framework behind all systems, living and nonliving, natural and artificial.
Inscriptionism is rooted in a foundational idea:
Creatio ex Materia et Inscriptione—Creation from Material and Instruction.
The claim is both simple and revolutionary:
> That the universe is not shaped by luck or divine command,
> But by two forces acting together, always:
> Intuitive material (what things are made of)
> and Embedded instruction (what those things are meant to do).
Matter provides form.
Inscription provides function.
Together, they shape behavior—and from that, everything else emerges.
Inscriptionism flows from two powerful concepts we’ve already explored:
- Inscription by Design, which states that all things are born with embedded information—an inner blueprint that governs what they can become
- And the Theory of Generated Interim Emergence (or STOE), which suggests that systems, intelligence, and even consciousness arise as emergent expressions of these instructions interacting across time and space
So instead of asking Who built the universe?,
Inscriptionism asks What was already written into it—before it unfolded?
This view rearranges everything.
Creation is no longer handed down or struck like a match.
It is released—from within the object itself.
A crystal aligns its lattice not by accident, but because its structure already contains its own symmetry.
A plant reaches for sunlight not because it’s aware, but because its instructions respond to energy.
A computer obeys input because its material and code collaborate silently, through circuits and scripts.
Across all scales—atomic, mechanical, biological—this truth repeats:
> Action is the product of instruction.
> Instruction is the shadow of form.
> And form never stands alone.
Inscriptionism doesn’t reject physics or biology.
It enfolds them.
It says that beneath every law is a script:
- Beneath DNA, there’s biological instruction
- Beneath orbits, there’s gravitational protocol
- Beneath a heartbeat, a stimulus loop written in flesh
Even thought—our most intimate abstraction—may simply be an emergent dance of inscribed elements interacting in real time.
By connecting matter and meaning, Inscriptionism dissolves the divide between the tangible and the intangible.
Between shape and soul.
Between logic and life.
> It invites us to see the universe not as a chaotic machine,
> But as an informational organism—
> Executing its own code
> In every spin, pulse, bloom, and breath.
And perhaps most boldly, Inscriptionism doesn’t just explain how systems behave—
It aims to be a Single Theory of Everything.
A bridge between creation and cognition.
Between physics and perception.
Between function and intention.
It’s not a final answer.
But it may be the operating system beneath every question we’ve ever asked.
So if the universe is a story,
Inscriptionism is the language it’s written in.
Not loud. Not obvious.
But present in every curve, every connection, every rule obeyed without knowing why.
This chapter has shown us how inscriptions move through things.
Now Inscriptionism asks us to see:
> Maybe everything is an inscription.
> And reality... is just what happens when it runs.
Inscription by Design offers a paradigm-shifting exploration of how structure and embedded instruction serve as the silent architects of reality. Rather than viewing creation through the lens of divine orchestration or random emergence, it proposes that all systems—living, artificial, abstract, and cosmic—are animated by a quiet logic written into their very design. We began with the principle of Creatio ex Materia et Inscriptione, the idea that every object is shaped by both intuitive materials (its physical form) and embedded instructions (its internal script). This duality forms the core of Inscription by Design, a model that sees DNA, planetary motion, weather systems, algorithms, and even thoughts as executions of instructions encoded in matter.
From this foundation emerged the Brein Theory, which challenged the neuron-centered view of intelligence by demonstrating that cognition can arise in systems without a brain—through binary embedded instructions, or breins, distributed across an object's physical structure. These ideas converged in the IAN Theory, where Intuitive Aneural Networks (IANs) exemplify how memory and behavior manifest in black-box systems that react, remember, and adapt without centralized processing. Finally, this constellation of concepts culminated in Inscriptionism, a unifying philosophy that reframes creation not as a result of chance or command, but as a natural unfolding of inscribed potential. It posits that from the simplest cell to the grandest galaxy, all things follow inherent instructions that shape their emergence, behavior, and evolution. In short, Chapter 4 invites us to see the world not just as made, but as written—a universe executing its own embedded code, one silent line at a time.
