Wiki: Learning Portal From The Basics

Public pages are the gateway, and the wiki is the foundation for learning.

Mind Uploading Research Project

Public Page Updated: 2026-04-03 Learning-first (updated with human route-family sync)

How to use this page

Read this first to avoid getting lost

This page is a learning portal that makes the public pages of Mind-Upload easier to read. The public pages show what we know now, what we do not know yet, and what to read next, while the wiki teaches the basic explanations behind those pages in a deliberate order.

  • The things most readers want to know first are arranged in separate reading routes so it is harder to get lost.
  • The division of labor is to read the public pages for the main points and use the wiki to fill in the background.
  • The explanations aim to be accessible even to junior-high-school readers, without weakening the strength or limits of the evidence.
  • The beginner route now treats living-human observability in the stricter order used by the core pages: route family first, then proxy class / operational maturity / calibrator role, then bridge and composition stop lines.
Best for
People who want to learn from the basics, and people who want a foothold before entering the public pages.
Reading time
10-20 minutes
Accuracy note
The wiki explains things in an accessible way, but it does not present unresolved issues as solved. Difficult points remain difficult, and that is stated explicitly.

Relatively clear at this stage

What we know now

  • Current research already makes it possible to measure and reproducibly analyze part of the brain's signals.
  • Mind-Upload becomes much easier to follow if progress is separated from what remains unresolved.
  • Separating the roles of public pages and the wiki allows both an easy entry point and a deeper learning path.
  • Current human proxy rows differ by route family before they differ by proxy class, operational maturity, or calibrator role, and same-subject wording can still remain bridge-limited.

Still unresolved beyond this point

What we still do not know

  • Research is still underway on the conditions under which WBE could count as established.
  • Final judgments about identity and phenomenal consciousness cannot be made from introductory pages alone.

What the wiki is for

The wiki is a learning aid. For the project's official current synthesis, success criteria, and operating rules, always return to the public pages.

The role of this wiki

This wiki is alearning platform that you can return to before and after reading public pages. Public pages quickly tell you what you know now, what you don't know, and where you should read next. The wiki will explain the words, ideas, and reading methods behind each word.

How to use

If you just want to know the big picture first, you can go to the public page. However, if you get stuck on a term or assumption along the way, please come back to this wiki. The basic idea is to use it as a training wheel so you don't get lost at the entrance.

2026-03-26 route tightening: human observability is not one ladder

The learning portal now treats living-human evidence more strictly at the entrance. A reader now has to separate proxy class, operational maturity, and calibrator role, and then ask whether a bundle is still limited by composition or state continuity. This keeps beginner pages aligned with the stronger route-card rules already used on the core public pages.

2026-04-03 correction: route family is fixed before the three-axis reading

The learning portal now makes one earlier stop line explicit. A reader should not start from one vague category such as human proxy evidence and only later ask how mature it is. First fix the route family itself. On this site, five-metabolite 1H-MRSI similarity is not deuterium kinetic-rate imaging; choroid-plexus perfusion is not blood-to-CSF transport or apparent BCSFB exchange; SMBT-1 is not SL25.1188 or I2BS; and TSPO is not CSF1R or COX-2. Only after that route-family split is fixed does it make sense to compare proxy class, operational maturity, and calibrator role, and only after those are typed should a reader ask whether a same-subject bundle survives composition or state continuity. If you want the stack-by-stack rule first, go to Wiki: Observability and claim ceiling by measurement stack. If you want the maintenance-state route cards first, go to Wiki: Homeostatic plasticity and maintenance state. If you want the bundle rule first, go to Wiki: Human Proxy Composition and Route Maturity.
