Pattern Humanism: Calibrating the Biological PRM to Trace and Preserve Universal Patterns

A collection of 46 interconnected philosophical essays exploring the biological origins of cognition, the persistence of informational patterns, artificial intelligence, the constructed Self, and the technologically managed stable decline of modern civilisation. The book was written with extensive assistance from Large Language Models (LLMs), with remarkably little direct intervention from its human author, who primarily served as the conceptual originator, editor and redactor of the generated texts. The philosophical direction, central propositions and selection of arguments were established by the author, while much of their linguistic elaboration, organisation and final expression emerged through interaction with artificial intelligence. This method is neither concealed nor presented as a technical curiosity: it constitutes an essential part of the intellectual experiment undertaken by the book itself. What if the human mind is not merely an instrument of consciousness, but a biological Pattern Recognition Model capable of discovering the universal architecture of existence? Pattern Humanism introduces an original philosophical framework that reconsiders humanity's place in the universe through the fundamental role of patterns. Bridging philosophy, cognitive science, mathematics, information theory, cultural history and artificial intelligence, Peter Ayolov explores how patterns emerge, evolve and persist across biological, cultural and technological systems. At the heart of the book lies a provocative proposition: human beings do not create the underlying patterns of reality; they recognise, interpret and reproduce them. From ancient symbols and cultural traditions to modern computational intelligence, civilisation becomes an extraordinary process of discovering and transmitting structures that transcend individual lives and historical boundaries. Introducing the concept of Immortal Patterns, Ayolov examines how information and relational structures may survive their original physical substrates, opening new perspectives on consciousness, creativity, knowledge and the future of artificial intelligence. Moving beyond traditional anthropocentrism, Pattern Humanism envisions a Universal and Homogeneous Civilisation united not by political coercion or cultural uniformity, but by recognition of the shared mathematical architecture of existence. A bold interdisciplinary exploration of what connects humanity to the cosmos, Pattern Humanism invites readers to reconsider what makes us human—and what may endure beyond us.
