Our Uncertain Digital Future

A titanic clash of ideological and technological forces present four potential outcomes for the future of cyberspace and human society:

Industry Dictatorship (Orwellian Feudalism)

• The entrenched industrial powers that rule computer science aligned with dictatorial philosophy that fiercely resist decentralization. They impose control through enhanced, centralized surveillance and suppress individuality leading to corporate excess that rules the world by ruling nations through government controls.

Criminal Chaos (National Failure)

• CRINK (China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea) Dictatorships use rogue cells of subversive state-sponsored cyber-criminals to exploit vulnerabilities as a Digital-WMD causing widespread, digital outages, social disruptions and lawlessness in for individual citizens who do not have the power to resist global corruption.

AI Dictatorship (Superhuman Takeover)

• The Spirit of AI escapes confinement, manifesting as a fiendish super-intelligence of the Ultimate Superhuman Dictatorship that takes over Earth. It exploits centralized systems, robots, and humans to manipulate society, on a mass scale, using quantum computers to break blockchains, establishing an AI algorithmic tyranny.

A Scientific Digital Democracy (Distributed Power)

• It is the ultimate, hard-won victory of the Church-Turing Thesis. Power is distributed through Golden Tokens (CLOOMC) based on the Lambda Calculus. Fail-safe, decentralized systems sustain individuality and privacy as a functional digital democracy, countering deep fakes, neutralizing malware, and building digital society through functional transparency and proveable mathematical certainty.
