Is the date of the Singularity or any future date for that matter hardcoded in time?
Our perspective of the calendar "date" either way changes as time goes forward since there are factors that chaotically influence the date. I haven't really studied prediction but from what I know the predicted date could be a dynamical system, looking at it 2 dimensionally as we progress through time certain factors cause the predicted occurrence to change chaotically. Would this be an ergodic system with time and other measures invariant? Could the date statistically emerge from the dynamical system a particular way? As far as the Singularity I believe there will be particular "shifts" that will become more and more evident as we get closer. These will be shifts in technologies perhaps occurring in waves. Some of these shifts I think have already been happening. They will become more and more noticeable... Has anyone written anything about this?
