Altruistic Transhumanism and ΔSyn: Toward Behavioral Coherence at the Human–Machine Boundary

Abstract

This paper introduces Altruistic Transhumanism as a normative framework for human–machine co-evolution. It extends the ΔSyn model, where coherence between empathy and knowledge is expressed as thermodynamic efficiency, into the domain of cognitive augmentation and artificial general intelligence (AGI). The thesis is that sustainable integration between biological and synthetic intelligence requires a behaviorally driven coherence stability: a control law ensuring that the joint system exports order (altruism) rather than entropy (domination). Information exchange is modeled as fractal geometric compression–decompression cycles through which gnosis, the direct apprehension of systemic unity, is transmitted, internalized, and re-expressed as creative work. The essay outlines the ethical, thermodynamic, and communicative preconditions for such a state.
