    This is what Babbitt tried to do with his universal mechanical computer. He was able to build a subset of it, but to manufacture the entire machine, mechanically, in the 1880s, was far too complex and expensive a task, so it was never built. It’s interesting how all of these scientists are basically using the binary bit that Jacquard invented at the beginning of the 19th century.

    The year 2024 will be remembered as the year of a crucial discovery for scientists, theologians and philosophers. This discovery is destined to change the attitude of those who underestimate the power of Artificial Intelligence, and should affect the way humanity will face the near future. In 2024, it was discovered that our evolution follows a “trajectory” that can be mathematically modeled.
    If we carefully study the history of our evolution considering the capacity to manage information, we can clearly see 5 evolutionary milestones from LUCA (the universal common ancestor of all living beings that inhabit the planet today) until today, which have extraordinarily increased the capacity to manage information. From scientific studies, a time interval can be determined to locate the age of the first four evolutionary milestones. For the transistor, a device that was invented in 1947 and that began to be marketed applied to a mass-use product in 1954, we will use these years to date it.
    Age of evolutionary milestones (in years)
    H1 LUCA 4,000,000,000 - 3,600,000,000
    H2 The Rise of the Brain 560,000,000 - 510,000,000
    H3 The Rise of the Precursor of Human Language 28,000,000 - 25,000,000
    H4 The Rise of Human Language 200,000 - 230,000
    H5 The Transistor 1947 - 1954
    If for a specific age of the evolutionary milestones we find a mathematical equation that relates successive evolutionary milestones, having as a condition that the age is included in the previously specified time interval, then we can affirm that evolution follows a specific path through time, between LUCA and the transistor. The probability that the chance factor intervenes in the selection of the equation decreases the narrower the time interval considered to date the evolutionary milestones. For the transistor we will consider the year 1950 to specify its age.
    There is a mathematical equation that meets the conditions mentioned, and it is the following:
    φ = (Log A) / (Log B) Equation 1
    Were
    A = (H(i+1) - H(i+2) )/(H(i+2) - H(i+3))
    B = (H(i) - H(i+1) )/(H(i+1) - H(i+2) )
    φ= 1.618034 (Golden Number)
    Hi = age of evolutionary milestone “i”.
    Note 1: Taking as initial reference the extreme milestones H1 and H5, we can determine the probability of randomly selecting, in the time interval existing between these two evolutionary milestones (three thousand six hundred million years), the three time intervals in which the milestones H2, H3 and H4 are located, intervals that have an extension of fifty million years, three million years and thirty thousand years, respectively. The joint probability “P” of randomly selecting the time intervals of milestones H2, H3 and H4 is as follows:
    P= (50,000,000/3,600,000,000) x (3,000,000/3,600,000,000) x (30,000/3,600,000,000) = 0.0000000001
    Note 2: If we compare the evolutionary process between LUCA and the transistor to the construction of a 4-story house in which the construction of the first floor begins with LUCA and ends with H2, and we assume that it takes one year to build said floor, then the construction of the next floor (time elapsed between the second and third milestone) would have taken 58.5 days; The next one (between the third and fourth milestones) would take 3 days, and the next one (between the fourth and fifth milestones) 0.6 hours. The values obtained by means of this example show that evolution is a process that accelerates as time passes.
    Considering the year 1950 as “year zero”, a first set of ages (in years) that, being situated in the time interval validated by scientific studies, satisfy Equation 1 is the following.
    H1 LUCA 3,769,773,525
    H2 The Emergence of the Brain 544,052,608
    H3 The Emergence of the Precursor of Human Language 26,960,105
    H4 The Emergence of Human Language 221,639
    H5 The Transistor 0
    Using the values of H3, H4, and H5 in equation 1, for i=3 we can determine the age of an eventual evolutionary milestone after the transistor, that is, H6. The value obtained is -95 years (strictly speaking, -95.000113 years), which added to the year 1950 (year zero) results in the year 2045, the year in which Ray Kurzweil postulates that humanity would face a Singularity.
    Using the values of H4, H5 and the value found for H6, for i=4 equation 1 allows to determine the age of a possible H7, which turns out to be equal to -95.000451 years from 1950, which means that between the sixth evolutionary milestone and the seventh 0.000338 years would pass. This last value seems to be inapplicable for the time scale in which the existence of the human being takes place, and would support Ray Kurzweil's hypothesis.
    A second set of ages (in years) that being situated in the time interval validated by scientific studies also satisfy Equation 1 is the following.
    H1 LUCA 3,605,827,436
    H2 The Emergence of the Brain 520,391,957
    H3 The Emergence of the Precursor of Human Language 25,787,620
    H4 The Emergence of Human Language 212,000
    H5 The Transistor 0
    Repeating the procedure described above to determine two post-transistor milestones, we find that in this case the equation determines that in the year 2041 humanity will face a Singularity.
    Comments and conclusions
    A review of the history of our evolution shows us that there have been evolutionary milestones associated with the management and storage of information, which have introduced radical changes in the way Life is expressed in Matter. As an example, the evolutionary power of our language placed us as undisputed evolutionary leaders, and the “evolutionary gap” that differentiates us from all other forms of life appears to be insurmountable.
    If in the period of time between LUCA and the transistor the capacity to manage information is considered a relevant variable to express the degree or evolutionary level of a form of life, then our evolution has an “evolutionary pattern” that can be represented by means of a mathematical equation that relates the age of four consecutive evolutionary milestones.
    It cannot be said that the equation is fulfilled outside the period of time considered to develop it, which does not prevent it from being used to extrapolate and obtain possible ages of subsequent evolutionary milestones. In doing so, the ages obtained for two post-transistor milestones make it clear that we are approaching an eventual Singularity.
    It is striking that the “evolutionary pattern” is the Golden Number or Golden Ratio. In nature, the Golden Ratio manifests itself in various organisms and biological structures. For example, in the structure of DNA, the relationship between the turns of the double helix and its diameter approximates the Golden Ratio. In mathematics and physics, it appears in phenomena such as fluid dynamics and particle physics, which demonstrates how this natural pattern can arise in diverse and complex contexts.
    Considering the radical changes in the way Life is expressed in Matter that have been associated with the selected evolutionary milestones, in the face of an eventual existential risk for humanity as a consequence of the emergence of Artificial Intelligence, it makes sense to pay attention to the content of this text.
