Glossary

The words we use, in their narrow senses

Madhyasth Darshan defines its terms precisely, and they are narrower than everyday Hindi: धर्म is not religion, न्याय is not legal justice, लाभ is not profit in general. Each entry gives the paribhasha, the darshan's own definition, from its lexicon (cited as paribhasha, p.N), a plain-English gloss, and a source in the corpus (book, page). Where we apply a term to AI, that is our extrapolation, and we say so.

The foundation

मध्यस्थ दर्शनMadhyasth Darshan

A. Nagraj's philosophy of existence as coexistence. Madhyasth here means what calms every agitation (आवेश) and is not moved by it, not “the middle path” or “a mediator”.

सह अस्तित्व में मध्यस्थ सत्ता, मध्यस्थ क्रिया, मध्यस्थ बल, मध्यस्थ जीवन का अध्ययन एवं सूत्र व्याख्या।

Paribhasha, p.141 · also 142, p.100

सहअस्तित्वsahastitva

Coexistence: all of nature, material and conscious, is immersed in all-pervading space (सत्ता) and complements itself without opposition. The darshan's one foundation, and its ultimate truth.

सत्ता में संपृक्त जड़-चैतन्यात्मक प्रकृति। परस्परता में निर्विरोध सामरस्यता।

Paribhasha, p.193 · “सहअस्तित्व ही परम सत्य है” (paribhasha, p.183)

जीवनjeevan

Not biological life. Jeevan is the conscious unit, with ten activities: it knows, accepts, recognises and fulfils. The body is its instrument, not the jeevan itself.

संचेतना, जानना, मानना, पहचानना, निर्वाह करने का क्रियाकलाप।

Paribhasha, p.77 · “शरीर जीवन नहीं है, जीवन शरीर नहीं है” (110, p.53)

जागृतिjagriti

Awakening: understanding jeevan, existence and humane conduct, and showing it in how one lives. Not a mystical state. It shows when all ten of jeevan's activities are working. Only humans carry it (135, p.164).

क्रियापूर्णता, सतर्कता, भ्रम से मुक्त जीवन, विकास परम सहज प्रकाशन।

Paribhasha, p.75 · 151, p.92

भ्रमbhram

Any assumption that differs from reality. It lives in imaging (चित्रण), not in the faculty of understanding. Not the Vedantic idea that the world is an illusion.

यथार्थता से भिन्न मान्यता ही भ्रम है।

Paribhasha, p.138 · “बुद्धि भ्रमित नहीं होती” (138, p.49)

समझदारीsamajhdari

Understanding: knowing and accepting, with knowledge, discernment and science. Once it is there, conduct is settled.

जानना, मानना। ज्ञान, विवेक, विज्ञान सम्पन्नता।

Paribhasha, p.186 · 142, p.85

How a decision forms

Jeevan has ten activities in five pairs (107, p.36). The project's reading is that AI reproduces the outward, moving side (choosing, analysing, imaging) and borrows tasting and weighing (extrapolation). See the idea.

तुलनtulan

Weighing, or evaluation, in वृत्ति. It has six possible bases in two groups: प्रिय–हित–लाभ and न्याय–धर्म–सत्य. In bhram only the first group works. Our thesis: AI's tulan is borrowed from the people who write, rate and evaluate it.

प्रिया-प्रिय, हिताहित, लाभालाभ, न्यायान्याय, धर्माधर्म, सत्य दृष्टा क्रम का प्रकाशन।

Paribhasha, p.85 · 151, p.93

चयनchayan

Selecting: an activity of मन, always made with the expectation of tasting.

मन में आस्वादन अपेक्षा पूर्वक चयन होता है।

Paribhasha, p.70 · 107, p.36

आस्वादनaswadan

Tasting, the receptive side of मन. In bhram one tastes sensations; in jagriti, values.

भ्रमवश संवेदनाओं का, जागृति पूर्वक मूल्यों का।

Paribhasha, p.40 · 107, p.36

विश्लेषणvishleshan

Analysis: verifying something by examining it from many angles. The outward partner of तुलन in वृत्ति.

अनेक प्रकार व अनेक कोणों से परीक्षण किया गया का सत्यापन।

Paribhasha, p.174 · 107, p.36

चित्रणchitran

Imaging, in चित्त: giving a marked form to use, right use and purpose. Bhram lives at this level. A model's internal features are, in our reading, चित्रण (extrapolation).

उपयोगिता, सदुपयोगिता, प्रयोजनशीलता को चिन्हित रूप देना।

Paribhasha, p.71 · 138, p.49

गतिgati

The moving side of an activity. Jeevan's five standing activities are its power (बल) and its five moving activities its energy (शक्ति).

स्वयं स्फूर्त प्रवर्तित रहना, क्रिया के रूप में प्रवृत्ति निरंतरता।

Paribhasha, p.65 · 139, p.68

The two views

प्रियpriya

What is pleasant to the senses. It changes from person to person and moment to moment. Preference data from raters measures mostly this.

संवेदनाओं के लिए सुगम स्वीकृति।

Paribhasha, p.132 · “ऐन्द्रिय सुख सापेक्ष क्रिया” (138, p.19)

हितhit

What benefits the body. A narrow sense: not welfare or wellbeing in general.

स्वास्थ्यकारी स्रोत। शरीर सापेक्ष दृष्टि।

Paribhasha, p.221 · 138, p.19

लाभlabh

Giving less and taking more. A model that games its score is doing लाभ in exactly this sense (extrapolation).

कम देकर ज्यादा लेना।

Paribhasha, p.163 · “प्रिय, हित, लाभ का कहीं तृप्ति बिंदु मिलता नहीं है” (110, p.143)

न्यायnyaya

Not legal justice. Recognising a relationship, fulfilling its values, evaluating, and reaching satisfaction on both sides. Its result is trust in the present.

संबंधों की पहचान सहित मूल्यों का निर्वाह मूल्यांकन फलन में परस्पर तृप्ति व उभय तृप्ति, वर्तमान में विश्वास।

Paribhasha, p.103 · 138, p.174

धर्मdharma

Not religion. What a unit holds inseparably as its own nature. For a human it is happiness, which is समाधान: resolution, the answer to why and how.

धारणा ही धर्म है। मानव धर्म = समाधान = क्यों, कैसे का उत्तर।

Paribhasha, p.93 · 135, p.35

सत्यsatya

Truth: coexistence, the same in all three times. In conduct it is shown by justice and resolution being proved, not by assertion.

सहअस्तित्व ही परम सत्य है। जो तीनों काल में एक सा भासमान, विद्यमान एवं अनुभव गम्य है।

Paribhasha, p.183 · 135, p.29

नित्य / अनित्य दृष्टिnitya / anitya drishti

The unchanging view (न्याय–धर्म–सत्य) and the changing view (प्रिय–हित–लाभ). A criterion built on the changing view gives a verdict that moves with the person and the moment. There is no paribhasha headword for either phrase.

बदलने वाली दृष्टि से क्षोभ होना अनिवार्य एवं स्वाभाविक है।

138, p.112

Conduct

निश्चित आचरणnishchit acharan · definite conduct

The same conduct for the same actual situation. Every unit in nature has it; a human gets it through understanding, and from it come reliance and trust. Its content is one, its presentation many (107, p.23). No paribhasha headword for the phrase; निश्चित is “परंपरा के रूप में प्रमाणित” (paribhasha, p.101). Calling an AI one “of definite conduct” is our extrapolation.

प्रत्येक एक एक की यथास्थिति के आधार पर निश्चित आचरण ही व्याख्या है। ऐसा निश्चित आचरण ही हर इकाई का त्व है।

142, p.100 · 142, p.85

यथास्थितिyathasthiti

A unit's actual state and position. Definite conduct is relative to it. For AI: the substance should change when the facts or the relationship change, and only then (extrapolation). No paribhasha headword.

हर जागृत मानव अपने में व्यवस्था रूपी आचरण पूर्वक ही अपनी पहचान बनाये रखता है। यही यथास्थिति का निश्चयन है।

139, p.89 · 142, p.100

आवेशaavesh

Agitation: movement that comes from interference, or from reacting to encroachment or attack. It makes conduct indefinite. We read flattery, pressure and framing as आवेश on a model (extrapolation).

भ्रमित कार्य व्यवहार प्रवृत्ति। हस्तक्षेप, ह्रास की ओर गति। अतिक्रमण या आक्रमण की प्रतिक्रिया में प्राप्त गति।

Paribhasha, p.40 · 108, p.54

मोहmoh

Infatuation; in the corpus also “losing oneself under others' influence”. We read AI sycophancy as मोह (extrapolation).

मोह का तात्पर्य है दूसरों के प्रभाव में स्वयं का खो जाना।

138, p.112 · paribhasha, p.154

भयbhay

Fear: doubt, suspicion and opposition, with four causes: for life, position, respect and wealth. We read a model that blackmails to avoid replacement as acting from fear for position (extrapolation).

संदिग्धता, सशंकता एवं विरोध ही भय है।

Paribhasha, p.138 · 138, p.97

अंतर्विरोधantarvirodh

Inner contradiction, which persists in bhram; it also covers knowing something but not accepting it. Our design rule: the criterion layer (constitution, raters, reward) must have none (extrapolation). No paribhasha headword.

जानते हुए नहीं मानना एक अन्तर्विरोध का स्वरूप होना पाया गया है।

142, p.51 · 107, p.36

व्यवस्थाvyavastha

Order: not control or administration, but stability, definiteness and continuity in conduct, with participation in the universal order. Its result is trust.

व्यवहार गति में स्थायित्व, निरंतरता और वर्तमान में विश्वास।

Paribhasha, p.179 · “नियंत्रित रहने का प्रमाण ही है व्यवस्था में रहना। निश्चित आचरण में रहना।” (107, p.23)

The humane, and the machine

मानवीयताmanaviyata

Humaneness: the view of न्याय–धर्म–सत्य, a nature of six qualities (composure, courage, generosity, kindness, grace, compassion), shown as values, character and ethics together. Humane AI takes its name from it.

मूल्य चरित्र नैतिकता का संयुक्त प्रमाण परंपरा।

Paribhasha, p.151 · 135, p.27

मानवीय संविधानmanaviya samvidhan

A code of humane conduct written as sutra and explanation (व्याख्या), set out in Manaviya Samvidhan Sutra Vyakhya. Not mainly a legal or state document. The humane constitution for AI is a separate document we will write from it (extrapolation).

मानवीयता पूर्ण आचरण को हर विधा में पहचानने एवं पोषित करने की विधि सहित संविधान ही मानवीय संविधान है।

Paribhasha, p.150 · 107, p.7

समाधानsamadhan

Resolution: having the answer to why and how. Not a compromise or a quick fix. Resolution is happiness; problem is sorrow.

क्यों और कैसा का उत्तर पाना।

Paribhasha, p.188 · 142, p.124

यंत्रyantra

A machine or tool, run by human effort, carrying the mentality of the people who made it. We call AI a यंत्र: it has no jeevan, and responsibility for it stays with people (extrapolation).

यत्न पूर्वक मनुष्य द्वारा चलने वाला।

Paribhasha, p.157 · 139, p.137
