Help me create a field of human programming that's informed by computer science? Below is a simplified description of some ideas informing what I do. These days I'm more focused on language and behaviors in myself and primary relationship in preparation for our first child, so it'd be nice if someone else started working on the theoretical stuff. I'm also down for informally experimenting with things anyone comes up with from this.
Here's the basis:
Start with a category theoretical model connecting neuroanatomy and thought (MENS, category theory and the hippocampus). Combine with the concepts of universal embedding and fully abstract languages. Replace computers in the previous sentence with computational model of human; I'm playing with modified versions of differentiable neural computers and perceptual sets comprised of beliefs, emotions, intentions, and behavior/thought patterns. Choose a human language to mathematically hack into a strict subset of itself so it meets the requirements for a target language in universal embedding. I suspect some form of type theory might be needed for that; coeffects seem like they could be useful, as well as quantitative type theory. Use yourself as the primary experimental subject (ie. the test machine) to help guide things and don't worry about reproducible results...trust that you're an ordinary human with essentially the same cognitive functions as everyone else, for now. Explore how this can impact human relationships. Discover ways to organize the self in such a way as to more effectively organize at scale.
Teach the world how to program itself at an individual level.

Yeah... um... let us know when you've got that in a form that is really true to neuroanatomy, really true to human thought, and really solid category theory. I'm pretty sure you're not going to get there in this lifetime.
