Hi Ian I think that the AI revolution, that began with the introduction of automatic machines in our industry in the 19th century, will meet several types of conflicts with us humans. Not only on the different levels from Pirsig's Lila but also by the well to the number of 42 by Douglas Adams.
42 is the result of the multiplication of 2, 3 and 7. We have three basic dimensions, amount, form and expression. For example in chemistry we use a number or a mass of different types that together makes a new material with certain characteristics. Red paint for example. The redness is independent from the amount. Redness can be made by other formulas and the amount can be equal to a whats in a bucket of fish.
