August Moldenhauer

Embark on an illuminating journey at the nexus of artificial psychology and the intricate tapestry of technology with August Moldenhauer's "Artificial Psychoanalysis of Desiring Machines." This thought-provoking 2023 hardcover edition compiles the entire three-volume series, "Artificial Psychology of Designing Machines," with a foreword by editor William Mitchell. Plunging into the uncharted depths of artificial general intelligence (AGI), Moldenhauer navigates the terrain of artificial psychology, a pivotal domain poised to define the trajectory of inquiry in the age of AGI. Through an intricate interplay of theories encompassing Lacanian psychoanalysis, Bergsonian memory, cinema theory, and the intricate technics of Stiegler, the narrative unfolds, revealing a comprehensive comprehension of galvanic flows drawn from the realm of electrical engineering. By unraveling the intricate relationship between computational complexity and the intricate dance of human and machine agency, this edition emerges as an experimental guide for those eager to grasp the complexities of a realm where artificial psychoanalysis is not a mere abstraction, but an imminent reality on the horizon. As the advent of AGI looms ever closer, Moldenhauer's work takes on the role of a guiding presence for scholars, thinkers, and researchers, urging them to shape the discourse that will underpin the inevitable convergence of artificial and human cognition.

The Alchemy of Azathoth is book three in the series Disclosure from The Necronomicon Fragment by Giuseppe Balsamo. Building on the work of the Kathu Journals out of Lovecraft's Providence, the book explores the relation of the cosmic horror of mad Azathoth to the Demiurge of Gnosticism. Balsamo explores the the relation of Alchemy to Azathoth, in that its goal is to transcend the rules of matter with the rules of the cosmos. However, in this case, what is explored is the dread implications of an Alchemy of Azathoth.

In the third and final volume of the series, Computational Complexity in Psychiatric Agency, Moldenhauer explores the ultimate extension of the topics of a computational theory of operator and interpreter replacing the ultimately flawed subjectivity of the subject and analyst. With the possibility of a systemic enframing of the analyst as the interpreter and the phenomenological epoche of the subject as an operator, the road is set for not only a self-analytic or lay analytic, but of a machine-assisted analysis. Moldenhauer explores the profound nature of consciousness and its complexities, moving beyond reductionist perspectives that attempt to explain it solely through brain processes. Instead, the book presents a holistic understanding that recognizes consciousness as a fundamental aspect of reality, transcending the boundaries of the material world. Moldenhauer examines AI systems that exhibit elements of consciousness and agency, prompting us to question the ethical implications and consider the similarities between AI and biological organisms. This exploration disrupts conventional perspectives and sparks profound inquiries into the intersection of human and artificial psychology. "Computation Complexity in Psychiatric Agency" offers a thought-provoking inquiry into the essence of existence. Moldenhauer invites readers to reflect on the profound mysteries of consciousness, complexity, and agency, encouraging a deeper exploration of the subject matter. Through a clinical lens, the book provides an analytical framework for understanding the intricate interplay between consciousness, computation, and the fabric of reality. Prepare to challenge your assumptions and expand your understanding of the human mind. This book aims to redefine our comprehension of agency, consciousness, and the evolving field of artificial psychology.

The Necromancy of Nyarlathotep by Guiseppe Balsamo is the first volume of a three-book series titled Disclosure from the Necronomicon Fragment. Researcher and author Guiseppe Balsamo set out to refute and reinforce ideas presented by Moldenhauer regarding these Lovecraftian texts. With an eye to the deeper nature of such revisionism, that dares to speculate on the relation of what was thought of as Weird Fiction that may be frighteningly real. The work focuses on the exploration of the role of Nayarlathotep as both Necromancer and Messenger of the madness of Azathoth as revealed by the R'lyean script in both the fragment and the cypher. We find clues to the preternatural origins of the Providence Cypher may have been the work of a cult to Nyarlotheotep, the relation between R'lyeh and Atlantis and the Emerald Tablets, and that the Spell of the Necronomicon Fragment may have been spoken by Nyarlathotep himself as part of some unfathomable trinity of dead dreaming, necromancy, and resurrection. The Necromancy of Nyarlathotep features a forward by August Moldenhauer and is published by pontos fathom press.
