There is also G's discussion of conscience in terms of an ability to feel "all at once". With that capacity, what constraints would possibly hinder telepathy (in the widest sense of that word) from being commonplace?
Do you see any possible connections between this discussion of whales and the one about a
"method of detection [of AI's]"?
Maybe such a level of contact with each other is a key to both? AI's detected by how they don't or can't connect with us and whales communicated with because there's no hubris or guile in us; nothing to "hide" so to speak. Fascinating!
Apologies for the off-topic.
I think the key concept is limitation, limitation due to the resources available.
In the case of an AI, the limitation will be due to the resource limitations of the architect, for that will greatly determine the abilities of the AI. Knowledge, the physical elements with which to build the AI, etc, all these are resources.
Hardware is one matter, software is another matter entirely. I shall take the Cassiopaean premise that animals communicate telepathically as true. Hardware is genetics, software is the learning through interaction with reality. In humans, culture is one form of software, we filter everything through the subroutines that have been inculcated into us since birth.But depending on the culture, the programming may allow the user (if there is one) to use the full capabilities of the hardware of its machine.
Animals don't have the software issues that we humans have (probably because we have different lesson profiles) so there probably wouldn't be much standing in the way of them utilizing a great percentage of their hardware in their daily existence, it's probably what's normal for biological life, osit.
Souls are also resources, and the composition of a given soul, greatly influences its abilities as well. Whether a soul chooses a 1D, 2D, 3D, etc, plane of existence in order to develop itself, is dependent on its needs. The souls which utilize human bodies, other 3D organisms, & the souls which utilize 1D & 2D, are vastly different in composition (structure, "mass," etc) We have different potentials depending on who and what we are. As 3 brained beings, we can perfect ourselves and as a useful consequence express abilities which have remained dormant for millenia, osit.
