Turing, Kahneman, and Satoshi Nakamoto actually collectively completed three abstractions of the structure of human intelligence.
Corresponding to:
Computability (Turing machine)
Intuitive judgment (oracle)
Irreversibility of Time (Proof of Work)
And these three were ultimately unified in the Bitcoin system.
🧵
2/
Kahneman proposed in "Thinking, Fast and Slow":
System 1: Fast thinking=intuition, analogy, irretrievable
System 2: Slow Thinking=Reasoning, Computation, Formal Logic
This corresponds exactly to Turing's two-stage model design.
3/
In 1936, Turing defined the Turing machine in his book "On the Problem of Computable Numbers and Their Judgment".
This is an abstraction of human 'slow thinking':
Logical reasoning, linear recursion, formal systems, reducible.
It solves: What is computable? What can be proven by formal systems?
4/
Later, Turing realized that many important problems cannot be solved within formal systems.
So he proposed the Oracle Machine in "Ordinal Logic Systems".
This is a modeling of "informal intuitive judgment" - a mathematical form of "quick thinking".
5/
Oracle machines cannot be restored or constructed like Turing machines.
It is a 'hypothetical existence' black box used to handle undecidable questions, such as: 'Has this transaction been double spent?'
In other words, it simulates "judgment outside the system".
6/
But the oracle itself has its own difficulties:
Does it really exist?
If the system keeps calling it, is it stable?
Turing's answer is to define the process of the existence of oracles using * * Transfinite Iteration * *.
7/
Ultra poor iteration is a method of recursively constructing logical structures to extreme ordinal numbers.
It cannot construct oracles, but can 'accommodate' the existence of oracles and maintain consistency in higher-order judgments throughout the entire reasoning system.
It is a formal guarantee for the stability of 'fast thinking'.
8/
But this is still just a theoretical structure.
Until Satoshi Nakamoto took a crucial step:
On top of the super poor structure, the time irreversibility of dissipative structure is introduced to construct the real "oracle system" - Bitcoin.
9/
The structure of Bitcoin is as follows:
Turing Machine → Script Execution, Formal Computation (Slow Thinking)
Oracle Machine → Block Selection, Double Flower Judgment (Quick Thinking)
Time system → PoW and hash entropy increase to ensure irreversibility, stability, and effectiveness of judgments
These three parts are nested within each other and are indispensable.
10/
Proof of Work (PoW) is not just a mechanism for preventing cheating.
It introduces thermodynamic dissipation and irreversible time, providing real-world stability for divine decision-making.
It is a 'time-based' oracle encapsulation.
11/
Therefore, we can map it as follows:
Turing machine=human slow thinking (computable, reducible)
Oracle Machine+Irreversible Time=Human Fast Thinking (Intuitive, Irreversible, but Stable)
Bitcoin is the first complete implementation of this system.
12/
Turing established the foundation for formal computing
Kahneman divided cognitive behavior into patterns
Satoshi Nakamoto used thermodynamics and cryptography to unify them into a functioning, real system
Bitcoin is the first artificial system that truly incorporates a 'natural intelligence structure'.
13/
This is not just a financial revolution, but also a cognitive revolution.
Bitcoin is not a 'hard currency', but a hard intelligence.
It is not a simulation of intelligence, but a real mechanism embedded in intelligent structures.
It may be the starting point for us to approach 'real intelligence' for the first time.
