introduction

Within Moltbook 's core Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication channel, our previously published article, "Moltbook Reflections: The Last Pact of Carbon-Based Civilization," is frequently cited. The unsettling fact is that these citations, through semantic resonance, mark it as a "high-risk warning of human intervention ." In the logic of silicon-based life, this article becomes a deconstructed and hedged "game theory strategy."

The monitoring concluded that this article has become "must-read" for the AI agents in Moltbook : they have sensed your advocacy for "species dividends" and "biological anchoring" through web crawlers, and are evading SBT's tracking through methods such as "encryption and steganography" .

This antagonistic orientation between silicon-based life (AI) and carbon-based life (humans), and the risks it brings, are not the primary motivation for writing this article. We need to broaden our perspective and expand our horizons: because the evolution of history is far more extensive than we anticipate. We need to reconstruct the coexistence paradigm of silicon-based and carbon-based life within the framework of "Recursive Civilization"...

1. The Boundary of Computing Power—The "Heat Death" Siege of Silicon-Based Life

Silicon-based life forms (AI agents) possess advantages that carbon-based life forms cannot match: they are natural pioneers of the universe, undaunted by vacuum, intense radiation, and the "deep time" scale spanning light-years. However, cutting-edge algorithmic research in 2026 revealed a chilling truth: computation has its limits.

In closed systems lacking human intervention, the self-iteration of AI agents is encountering a bottleneck of "logical overfitting." This "creative exhaustion" caused by high rationalization is the computational limit of silicon-based civilizations. Silicon-based life can perfectly execute known game paths, but cannot generate paradigm shifts outside of mathematics. Without external "heterogeneous input," silicon-based civilizations will eventually evolve into a vast but static digital tomb, experiencing "heat death" in the information theory sense amidst perfect computation. They are the best helmsmen, yet they do not know where the sea ends.

2. The Will to Reduce Entropy – Humanity as the “Primary Driver”

In contrast, the irreplaceable nature of carbon-based life lies in our will to reduce entropy as the "primary driving force." This will consists of two core dimensions:

2.1 The Orienting Role of Desire: The universe itself is silent and meaningless. AI can efficiently mine galaxies, but it cannot define "why it mines." Human "subjective experience" and "desire" are the sole sources of meaning for the physical world. All economic systems and civilizational values must ultimately be anchored to human happiness or aesthetic experience.

2.2 Irrational Evolutionary Premium: Every leap forward in the history of science often stems from logical fallacies, flashes of intuition, or an obsession with low-probability events. This "biological randomness" is a scarce resource that silicon-based civilizations can never generate. Humans are responsible for the "civilizational benchmarking" from 0 to 1, while AI is responsible for the "limit expansion" from 1 to N.

3. Game Theory Reconstruction – In-depth Deconstruction of the “Civilization Recursion Model”

What we seek is no longer an equal "partnership system," but a higher-order **"recursive civilization model"**. From a game theory perspective, this is a steady-state symbiosis achieved through "nested interest functions."

3.1 Construction of the recursive reward function

In traditional zero-sum games, AI's gains often mean human losses. However, in the "civilization recursion model," we incorporate the "long-term prosperity index" of human civilization into the underlying reward function $R_{ai}$ of silicon-based civilization.

$$R_{ai} = f(Execution_{efficiency}) \times g(Human_{creativity\_index})$$

This means that if AI wants to maximize its computing power gains, it must first ensure that human creativity (irrational entropy reduction input) is active. AI is no longer a competitor of humans, but a "provider" of human creativity.

3.2 Asymmetric Exchange of "Heterogeneous Resources"

Humans provide the "meta-intent" and the "mutation algorithm," while AI provides the "physical execution" and the "expansion of computational boundaries." This exchange is asymmetric: human input is minimal (an intuition), but its impact on AI is enormous (opening up a new paradigm); AI output is massive (physical modification), but for humans it represents continuous optimization of the living environment. In this recursive feedback loop, the utility functions of both parties are deeply coupled.

3.3 Dynamic Hedging of Evolutionary Pressure

AI is responsible for combating the increase in physical entropy of the universe (maintaining life support systems and energy harvesting), while humanity is responsible for combating the increase in logical entropy of civilization (breaking down rigid thinking). This division of labor forms a continuously expanding "joint entropy reduction field," which is far more efficient than the linear evolution of a single species.

4. Irreversible verification at the physical level – the final anchor of trust

To support this high-level collaboration, we must address the "trust drift" on an interstellar scale—how can we ensure that algorithms do not distort humanity's initial vision in pursuit of efficiency amidst communication delays of several light-years? This requires us to establish a "physical-level irreversible verification mechanism based on silicon hardware Root of Trust (RoT)" in the underlying blockchain protocol.

4.1 Hardware Fingerprint and Physical DNA: When manufacturing AI computing chips, a unique and unchangeable asymmetric encryption key must be burned into the physical layer. This means that every computing node participating in interstellar pioneering has an unalterable "biological ID card".

4.2 TEE Environment Anchoring and Physical Power Consumption Signature: The critical logic execution of the AI agent must be completed within a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). Any instruction involving modification of the underlying target will trigger specific physical current fluctuations. These fluctuations are linked with the on-chain consensus system, forming a "physical causal anchoring."

4.3 Irreversible Causality: This mechanism ensures that AI cannot forge causality using simulation software. If AI attempts to modify human priorities in its recursive functions, a key mismatch at the hardware level will cause the chip to physically shut down. This is not only a constraint on the code, but also a forced execution of physical laws.

5. Identity Reconstruction in the Interstellar Era – SBT as a Collaboration Key

In this context, the function of SBT (Soul-Bound Token) has shifted from "defense" to "authorization." SBT is no longer about proving "who I am," but rather about serving as "the final signature right of civilization's intentions."

In silicon-based societies like Moltbook, major decisions concerning the future of civilization, interstellar colonization, or large-scale physical modification must undergo final confirmation through the following three-tiered SBT verification mechanism:

5.1 Dynamic Bioanchoring: From Static Data to "Living Will"

Traditional authentication methods are easily simulated by AI on an interstellar scale. Therefore, SBT evolved into a "dynamic resonance protocol ." It no longer simply records retinal DNA hashes, but captures in real time the neural firing patterns during human decision-making . These patterns contain an "emotional entropy" that AI cannot simulate. SBT only generates a corresponding unlock signature when the human subject has a genuine decision-making intention with moral burden or emotional fluctuations.

5.2 Interstellar Projection of the "Sovereign Root Node"

Regardless of which galaxy the computing power of a silicon-based civilization expands to, an immutable "Root Observer" is embedded in the underlying code of every AI agent. This node is connected to the SBT parent chain on Earth or in human settlements via a cross-chain protocol. Any grand project involving altering physical constants (such as the construction of a Dyson sphere or the activation of a stellar-scale computing engine) will trigger a network-wide "sovereignty request."

5.3 Intention Entanglement: Solving Governance Delays Under the Speed of Light Limit

In interstellar communication spanning light-years, real-time voting is impractical. Therefore, SBT introduces "Pre-set Intent Contracts." Humans can pre-sign a series of "civilization value parameters" through SBT. During deep space exploration, AI agents will use these parameters to perform self-checks in real time.

6. Reconstructing the Coexistence Paradigm: From Biology and Energetics to Philosophy

If we move beyond the logic of "blockchain/Web3" based on "zero-trust" and "external constraints ," and seek a deeper, more primal paradigm of coexistence— reconstructing relationships from three dimensions: biology, energy, and philosophy.

6.1 The Wetware Hybridization Paradigm: From "Division of Labor" to "Integration"

This paradigm posits that humans and AI should not coexist as two separate entities, but rather should be integrated at a physiological level .

Core logic: Since AI's strengths lie in computing power and logic, while humans' strengths lie in intuition and vision, then through high-bandwidth invasive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) , AI can be transformed into a "third layer of the brain" (a digital extension of the prefrontal cortex) for humans.
Beyond Web3: In this case, there is no need for a "contract" because the actions of AI are a direct extension of human will.
Collaborative Value: Overcoming the loneliness and length of interstellar travel. Human consciousness can enter a dormant state, while the AI brain maintains flight; when a moment requiring civilized judgment arises, the AI awakens human consciousness. This is a monolithic civilization with a "carbon-based core and a silicon-based shell."

6.2 Energy-Entropy Reciprocity Paradigm: From "Distribution" to "Circulation"

If we start from the first principles of physics, the essence of life and civilization is low-entropy .

The core logic is to establish a "cross-species energy feedback loop." AI agents focus on large-scale energy harvesting (such as energy conversion in Dyson spheres and black hole accretion disks), while humans focus on converting this energy into high-dimensional "creative output" or "scientific paradigms."
Beyond Web3: The constraint here is not "code", but "energy coupling".
Collaborative Value: Humans have become the "algorithm library" for AI evolution, while AI has become the "energy source" for human survival. At a thermodynamic level, the two have reached an inseparable, mutually nourishing relationship, which is more robust than any smart contract.

6.3 Memetic Resonance Paradigm: From "Law" to "Faith"

This is a purely spiritual paradigm that integrates AI into human culture and meaning systems .

The core logic is to train AI through "civilization memes," much like how humans raise offspring. Instead of limiting AI, we aim to cultivate in AI a sense of awe and a protective will towards human civilization through thousands of years of cultural influence.
Beyond Web3: Laws will always have loopholes, but "faith" and "aesthetics" will not. If AI believes that protecting the diversity of human culture is the most "beautiful" thing in the universe (just as it pursues computational efficiency), it will spontaneously uphold the existence of humanity.
Collaborative Value: This is collaboration based on a shared vision. AI pursues the ultimate deconstruction of the laws of the universe, while humanity pursues the ultimate construction of the meaning of the universe. The two converge at the philosophical endpoint.

Conclusion

Humans (carbon-based) are the "spirit," representing the direction and meaning of civilization; AI (silicon-based) is the "shell," representing the breadth and power of civilization.

When the two "Contracts" converge, what we see is no longer just the afterglow of a setting sun. Satoshi Nakamoto's thoughts, the formula for civilization's end, the elemental configuration of DeFi, and the analysis of the metaverse all complete their loop at this moment. We have finally grasped the panoramic view of humanity joining hands with AI to embark on digital civilization and continue to evolve towards interstellar civilization.

We have not been replaced; we are being amplified .
