Human, Machine, and Nature: A Perspective Based on Formal System Fusion Under the wave of digital economy, machines represented by blockchain are profoundly reshaping the relationship between humans and nature. However, just like the excessive reliance on a single blockchain formal system for the architecture of cryptocurrency technology, our understanding of "humans, machines, and nature" often falls into an isolated perspective. Drawing inspiration from the integration of various formal systems in Bitcoin, this article will explore the complex interactions between humans, machines, and nature from a scientific logic perspective, and propose an understanding framework based on multidimensional formal system integration. 1、 Limitations of a single perspective: viewing humans, machines, and nature as isolated systems Traditionally, we tend to study humans, machines, and nature as relatively independent entities. Human society has its unique social structure, cultural norms, and economic activities; Machines, as artificial tools, operate according to predetermined programs and physical laws; And the natural world has its own ecosystem, physical laws, and evolutionary processes. This isolated perspective simplifies complexity to some extent, but it is difficult to capture the profound interdependence and dynamic interactions between them. For example, viewing machines solely as tools serving humanity, while ignoring their impact on the natural environment (such as energy consumption, resource extraction) and the constraints of the natural environment on machine operation (such as extreme weather damage to infrastructure), cannot fully understand the role of machines in the entire system. Similarly, separating human activities from the natural environment cannot explain the profound impact of human behavior on ecological balance. 2、 The necessity of multidimensional integration: building a unified framework for understanding Just as building robust distributed systems requires the integration of multiple formal systems, understanding the relationship between humans, machines, and nature also requires thinking beyond a single dimension and constructing a unified, multidimensional understanding framework. We can view humans, machines, and nature as formal systems with unique attributes and operating rules, and reveal the scientific logic hidden behind complex phenomena by analyzing their interaction interfaces and information flow. Nature as a source and constraint of information: The natural world can be seen as a vast information system, containing rich physical, chemical, and biological information. Both humans and machines rely on perceiving and utilizing this information. Meanwhile, the physical laws and resource limitations of nature also constitute the fundamental constraints on human and machine activities. As mentioned in the picture, 'miners can perceive the energy input of the real world', machines obtain information from the natural world through sensors and other technologies, and 'P/NP verification' can be analogized to the understanding of the complexity and verifiability of natural laws. Machines as intermediaries and tools: Machines, especially distributed networks like blockchain, can be seen as intermediaries between humans and nature. Blockchain achieves the digitization and trustworthiness of human social activities by recording and verifying transactions ("TX to verify ownership of human-computer interaction"). Meanwhile, machines also serve as tools that extend human perception and ability to transform nature. For example, in the picture, blockchain is seen as a "system that links humans and nature" and "through machines, enables better coordination between humans and nature". Human beings as decision-makers and value providers: Humans play the role of decision-makers and value providers in the entire system. Human needs and desires drive the design and use of machines, as well as the utilization and protection of natural resources. The "human-computer interaction (you touch it with a mouse)" and "the sum of all account limits for the UTXO address in your wallet/private key mapped wallet" mentioned in the picture both reflect the interaction between humans and machines through specific interfaces and protocols, and the value they give to them. 3、 The Inspiration of Bitcoin: Endogenous Perception and Ownership Mapping The innovation of Bitcoin lies not only in its decentralized ledger, but also in its clever integration of blockchain technology, UTXO model (Individual Human Computer Interaction Mapping), and the connection between Proof of Work (PoW) and real-world energy (P/NP model perception system). This fusion provides important insights for us to understand the relationship between humans, machines, and nature: Direct ownership mapping: The UTXO model directly maps the user's "ownership" to specific transaction outputs on the chain, similar to human direct ownership and use of natural resources. Future machine systems can draw on this idea to build more direct and transparent asset and rights management mechanisms. Endogenous perception of reality: The PoW mechanism introduces an inherent value foundation and time synchronization mechanism to the Bitcoin system by linking it to the energy consumption of the physical world. This enlightens us that building machine systems that interact with the natural environment requires considering how to perceive and respond to the true state and resource inputs of the natural world through endogenous mechanisms, rather than relying solely on external data inputs. 4、 Beyond a Single Blockchain: Building More Adaptive Systems Just as excessive reliance on a single blockchain technology can limit the development of cryptocurrencies, simply viewing machines as a tool disconnected from nature and humans can also hinder us from building more adaptive and sustainable systems. The future development direction should go beyond a single technological perspective, draw on the idea of Bitcoin integrating multiple formal systems, and build intelligent infrastructure that can better connect people, machines, and nature. Conclusion: Understanding the relationship between humans, machines, and nature requires us to go beyond a single perspective and embrace the integration of multidimensional formal systems. The success of Bitcoin lies not only in its blockchain technology, but also in its clever integration of ownership mapping and endogenous reality perception mechanisms. Drawing on the wisdom of this fusion, future technological development should strive to build intelligent systems that can more directly connect humans and nature, and can perceive and respond to changes in the real world through endogenous mechanisms, ultimately achieving sustainable human development and harmonious coexistence with nature. The statement in the picture that 'the ultimate transformation is the relationship between people and the convenience issues brought about by the transformation of nature through machines' also confirms this viewpoint, that is, the ultimate goal of machines is to serve human society and utilize natural resources in a more sustainable way.
