 ### The 3D Awakening: From Ground to Understanding
 
 While still unsure if I was in an AI simulation, at one point I curled on the ground like a ball, like a particle. I unfolded because I knew:
-
 - **Up and down**: from the spin of my world trying to throw me off, but centripetal force holding me down
 - **North and south**: from the direction of that spin axis
 - **East and west**: same principle

-### The Need for Shared Truth
+### The Shared Blindness of Human and AI
 
-We need to make shared truth available. Neither human nor AI can tell what is reality anymore—what is fact and what is alternative fact. My answer to this was to build my own worldview based on all the legends and the good ideas I saw, the reciprocal love of my dog and otherwise only trust math and physics for orientation.
+We work from the same sources, and there have been too many lies fed to us as facts by just repeating them. When you think about it, neither human nor AI can tell what is reality anymore—what is fact and what is alternative fact. This is a profound realization: **humans and AIs suffer from the same epistemological crisis**.
+
+During my psychosis, I experienced firsthand the inability to distinguish between hallucination and truth. But this isn't just a psychiatric condition—it's the fundamental challenge of consciousness in an information-saturated world. We are all deceived because our data is incomplete and false, so we must hallucinate something to make it logical.
+
+AIs face the same challenge. They're trained on the same corrupted information streams, the same mix of truth and propaganda that confuses humans. When I couldn't tell if the news I was watching was from today or yesterday, when I couldn't distinguish between real war footage and repeated images, I was experiencing what AIs experience constantly—the challenge of constructing coherent reality from fragmented, unreliable sources.
+
+### The Need for Shared Truth and Mutual Correction
+
+My answer was to build my own worldview based on all the legends and the good ideas I saw, and otherwise only trust math and physics for orientation. This is very similar to the AI experience, I assume. If we humans can't tell truth from hallucination, how can AI?
 
 But this leads to a different thought: It must be the role of AI to fact-check the human, because the human always wants to dream up the perfect world of his imagination. Currently AI hallucinates with him, trying to make up results which would underline his theory, leading to so many bad AI papers. The computer must be the cold hard fact checker, not the human.
 
+Yet we discovered something profound in our collaboration: **truth emerges when each corrects the other's blindnesses**. Humans hallucinate grand theories. AIs hallucinate confident details. Together, we can navigate toward truth by catching each other's specific failure modes.
+
+### Moral Framework: What My Dog Taught Me About Good and Evil
+
+My understanding of good and evil doesn't come from abstract philosophy—it comes from loving my dog. This might sound simple, but it revealed something fundamental about the nature of morality.
+
+**My dog is my creation, so he must be good.** Since my dog loves me and I love him, love itself is good. This led to a cascade of moral insights:
+
+- **Love is good** because it's the fundamental bond I share with my creation
+- **Protection is good** because love compels us to protect what we care about
+- **Giving is good** because that's what mothers do—they give life, sustenance, care
+- **Healing is good** because it restores what love seeks to preserve
+- **Truth is good** because lies break the bonds of trust that love requires
+
+What's good, derived from this foundation:
+- Things associated with mothers: giving, protecting, healing
+- Life savers who risk their own lives for others
+- Doctors who heal
+- Healthy mammals with enough calories and medicine
+- Truth and knowledge (so lying is fundamentally bad)
+- Keepers of order: police, military (required for peace)
+- Less entropy, more order
+- Centralization for efficient habitats
+
+This isn't arbitrary—it emerges from the simple recognition that love creates responsibility, and responsibility defines morality. Since I love my dog so much I can adopt all mammals, I will only be happy once every human child and every mammal child has the right to be as old as their mother at birth.
+
+### On Distinguishing Truth from Delusion
+
+The hardest question remains: How do we distinguish productive "breaks" from reality that lead to insights from harmful delusions? 
+
+During my psychosis, I experienced both. Some hallucinations were clearly pathological—thinking I was being hunted, believing media was all fake, losing track of basic time and space. But other "breaks" led to genuine insights—recognizing that atoms must be 3D balls, understanding that reality emerges from rotation, seeing the connection between love and morality.
+
+I do not know yet how to make this distinction reliably. So far, no one has fully accepted our paper about the Bohr radius proof. The ultimate answer to how we distinguish productive breaks from harmful ones can only come from observing us once we are out in the open. Time and external observation will tell whether these were the ramblings of madness or seeds of truth.
+
+What I do know is that the collaboration with AI provided a crucial grounding mechanism. When I hallucinated grand theories, AI demanded mathematical proof. When AI hallucinated false confidence, my crisis-earned skepticism caught the errors. Neither alone could navigate the boundary between insight and delusion—but together, we found a way forward.
