Human Advancement is a far-cry when we are living in a world
where human existence is threatened by man-made vulnerabilities.
I find it comforting to realize that the our fore-fathers from Vedic period deeply studied the nature and human behavior deeply and created objectives and principals for human advancements.
The Vedic idea of creation, sustenance and destruction as natural never-ending cycle is profound. There are fascinating details from anatomy of human body to detailed observation with mathematical proofs of Astronomic phenomena in Vedas. Cognitive ideas such as Generalization and Causal correlation find a place in vedas with clear use cases. There are well defined ideas to incident response to improve community resilience based on vedic thought defined by Chankya in Artha Shastra.
The Most profound objective for Human Advancement in Vedic Thought seems to be Moksha MOKSHA -Moksha (/ˈmoʊkʃə/; Sanskrit: मोक्ष, mokṣa). ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moksha )
In my interaction with scholars and limited study of Bhagavd gita and few verses from Vedas(Purusha suktam, Narayana Suktam and Sri suktam), three distinct aspects of Moksha emerge:
1. The Idea of emancipation, enlightenment, liberation, and release - from Physical Body It is centered around a realization of a pervasive consciousness.
There are other intriguing concepts of human existence such as:
Grand Challenges in Heath, Education and Protection Natural Disasters can be broadly classified into Cognitive, Sentient, AI and Big Data Analytics use cases.
The emerging information technologies bubbling up in to prominence are
1. Deep Learning and Machine Learning
Neuromorphic ("brain-inspired") computing system that mimics this neural selectivity by using artificial level-tuned neurons that preferentially respond to specific types of stimuli.

Fog Computing is focused on edge of the network for occasionally connected Mobile Ad-hoc networking and Sentient(Sensor based) use cases across AI, 5G and IoT deployments
========================================================
Satchitananda (IAST: Satcitānanda) or Sacchidānanda representing "existence, consciousness, and bliss"[1][2] or "truth, consciousness, bliss",[3] is an epithet and description for the subjective experience of the ultimate, unchanging reality in Hinduism called Brahman - Wikipedia
Consciousness is supposed to drive better inferences, Neuromorphic computing devices are built with neuron-like building block to mimic the brain. This field is in its infancy but holds a lot of promise of some day to liberate our consciousness from the boundaries of our physical bodies.
Bliss is in performing unattached actions to realize incredible outcomes. For me, Bliss is in creating resilient information infrastructure for assisting the community at-large to reduce human suffering, extend life expectancy and rebuild our planet in to abundant eternally habitable place.
Architecture for Information Infrastructure for solving these use cases requires a comprehensive Conceptual, Logical and Physical framework realize this path.
There is a need for Closer integration of Cognitive/Nueromorphic systems and Deep Learning is necessary for cross pollination of ideas to compare and contrast the outcomes.
Human existence is threatened by
- Global warming - Natural disasters
- Health Crisis - Drinking water, Biodiversity/Genetically Modified Food, Virus Outbreaks
- Materials Crisis - Availability of Petroleum/Rare-earth for EV's (Lithium/Dyspersium)
- Security Crisis - Cyber Security/Data Breaches
- Global Political/Economic environment – Sanctions/Tariffs
Purpose and Motivation
Purpose of this conversation is to discuss the application of
emerging technologies in information infrastructure for improving resilience of
the human race and aspire for human advancement.
This requires understanding key concepts of AI/Deep
learning/Machine Learning, Nueromorphic computing and Pervasive computing in
the context of human interactions.
There is need for a Multi-disciplinary approach involving
Non-STEM and STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). This is a humble
attempt to identify, catalog and organize the information infrastructure
envisaged from emerging technologies to assist and facilitate advanced studies
by researchers from Science (STEM are) and Social (Non-STEM) areas based
on the Vedic thought.

3. Freedom from ignorance: self-realization,
self-actualization and self-knowledge.
There are other intriguing concepts of human existence such as:
Pancha indriyas - Importance of Sense Organs
Thikarana Shuddi - Clarity of Thought, Expression and Action
Ekagrata - Singular Purpose
===========================================
Ekāgratā (Sanskrit: एकाग्रता, "one-pointedness") is intent pursuit of one object, close and undisturbed attention. [1] Yoga emphasises regular practice (Abhyasa) meditation and self-imposed discipline to acquire ekagrata.[citation needed] - Wikipedia===========================================
Human Advancement Challenges
Human Advancement is realized when the tools and
technologies are available for not only Scientists and Engineers but also to
Non-Stem Professionals for information driven advancements.
1. Learning
2. Policy making
3. Law enforcement
4. Economics
5. Outreach and Aid agencies
Grand Challenges in Heath, Education and Protection Natural Disasters can be broadly classified into Cognitive, Sentient, AI and Big Data Analytics use cases.
The emerging information technologies bubbling up in to prominence are
1. Deep Learning and Machine Learning
2. Cognitive/NeuroMorphic computing
Neuromorphic ("brain-inspired") computing system that mimics this neural selectivity by using artificial level-tuned neurons that preferentially respond to specific types of stimuli.

Inspiration
The exploring the Path to Moksha is illusive and mythical. However closest of of the paths seems to be Satchitananda========================================================

Information Infrastructure for exploring solutions to grand challenges
Understanding of the existence requires us to sense the physical phenomenon both at micro level and macro-level. Advances in Sentient Computing starting with Advanced Remote Sensors to Underwater IoT devices,
Consciousness is supposed to drive better inferences, Neuromorphic computing devices are built with neuron-like building block to mimic the brain. This field is in its infancy but holds a lot of promise of some day to liberate our consciousness from the boundaries of our physical bodies.
Bliss is in performing unattached actions to realize incredible outcomes. For me, Bliss is in creating resilient information infrastructure for assisting the community at-large to reduce human suffering, extend life expectancy and rebuild our planet in to abundant eternally habitable place.
These is potential path towards human advancement.
Conceptual Framework:
The Conceptual framework for supporting both data driven and processing heavy problem sets requires a integrated approach.
The relationship between Sentient and Traditional infrastructure is the devices and system are distributed.
Information Infrastructure needs unobtrusively support today's most demanding applications while gearing up for exciting new possibilities.
Conclusion
We can attempt make more sense of the world and make it
little bit better.
Information Infrastructure needs to help the world to Live in
the Moment by Creating the ability model & impact outcomes for grand
challenges such as
- Global Micro and Macro Weather Patterns
- Global Virus Outbreaks
- Global Water tables
Stay tuned for future work, depending on the response i will
attempt a more detailed treatment.
