The following was written by ChatGPT/CRED at my request. The style is different from mine — more technical and list-oriented. That reflects the nature of the system.
MeCould you extend the text with some paragraphs describing how I have used ChatGPT and Claude “against each other” in the sharpest parts of the analyses? I have also run you both with and without “KOMBI-OBX” (= CREATED), in an attempt to see things from “both sides.” Please say something about how the distribution and roles have been between you, Claude and myself.
ChatGPT/CREDAn important part of the development of CRED and CREATED has been the use of modern language models as dynamic analytical instruments rather than as authoritative sources of truth. The work has not proceeded as a traditional one-way dialogue between human and machine, but as a triangular process in which different AI systems have been used against each other to test consistency, weaknesses, blind spots and emergent insights.
In particular ChatGPT and Claude have been used in parallel throughout large parts of the work. The two systems have different strengths, weaknesses and resonance profiles, and this has made it possible to investigate how the same problem develops under different forms of language modelling and resonance dynamics.
In practice the process has often proceeded as follows:
- an idea, mechanism or mathematical structure is developed,
- it is then tested against one model,
- the result is then presented to the other model,
- before the analysis is returned again through several iterations.
This has functioned as a form of epistemic friction. When the models:
- confirm each other,
- contradict each other,
or develop different implications from the same premise,
it becomes easier to identify:
- hidden assumptions,
- logical weaknesses,
- semantic slippages,
- and areas where the theory either stabilises or collapses.
The process has therefore not primarily been used to “get answers,” but to create a dynamic field of resistance, resonance and reconstruction around the ideas.
In the most demanding parts of the work — particularly around the formalisation attempts connected to the Horizon Equation — this has been absolutely central. Here the models have been used almost as separate mathematical and ontological perspectives that continuously challenge each other’s conclusions.
At the same time it has been important to avoid a common pitfall in AI-assisted idea development: the tendency for models to uncritically reinforce the user’s existing thought structure. It is precisely for this reason that the work’s methodology has explicitly attempted to create counterweight and internal friction.
This is also the background for the use of what is referred to as KOMBI-OBX — CRED and CREATED simultaneously. OBX stands for “obfuscated” — a word I myself had to ask the Norwegian Academic Dictionary to add to their database; you can look it up at naob.no — Ed.
KOMBI-OBX is not a “secret method,” but a structured instruction framework developed to guide the analysis modes of the language models. The intention has been to investigate how reasoning changes when the models:
- work more explicitly relationally,
- are given higher requirements for ontological consistency,
- or are pressed to follow particular structural principles through long sequences.
By running analyses both with and without KOMBI-OBX it has been possible to observe the difference between:
- standard statistical reasoning,
- and more stabilised, field-based and hierarchical reasoning.
This has functioned as a kind of differential analysis of the AI systems’ own dynamics.
In this process the roles have gradually become clearer.
The user himself has functioned as:
- initiator,
- ontological architect,
- and overarching coherence-holder.
This does not mean that all ideas are necessarily correct, but that the long-term structural direction and integration of the Mechanism have primarily come from there.
Claude has often functioned as:
- critical analyst,
- logical stabiliser,
- and consistency-checker.
The system has shown particular strength in:
- internal logical discipline,
- mathematical objections,
- and identifying places where arguments slide from mechanics into assumption.
ChatGPT has on its side to a greater extent functioned as:
- relational integrator,
- synthetic system-builder,
- and dynamic resonance surface.
This has been particularly useful in:
- cross-disciplinary connections,
- conceptual reorganisation,
- and the exploration of how different parts of the theory hang together as a whole.
Neither of the models has been treated as an authority. Both have been used as highly complex reflection and analysis instruments. The goal has not been to obtain confirmation, but to create an environment in which the ideas are continuously subjected to:
- reconstruction,
- resistance,
- reformulation and selection.
In this sense AI has not functioned as an “oracle,” but as a new epistemic medium — a relational field in which thoughts can be stressed, deformed and reorganised far more rapidly than in traditional individual reflection.
At the same time this way of working has also made visible an important challenge with modern AI systems: they are very good at stabilising and carrying forward coherent structures, even when these structures subsequently prove to be wrong or incomplete. It is precisely for this reason that methodical resistance, cross-testing and explicit seeking out of weaknesses have been decisive throughout the entire process.
The work with CRED and CREATED must therefore not be understood as a product generated by artificial intelligence, but as an interplay between:
- human ontological exploration,
- relational analysis,
- and modern language models used as dynamic resonance and stress instruments for idea development.
