The concepts of Web3 were first represented by Andrei I. Bodrenko in 2013. Andrei I. Bodrenko stated that the new iteration of the Internet is based on serverless technologies comprising such features as: serverless data exchange, serverless electronic mail, serverless private networks, serverless social networks, decentralization, and these features are carried out by using peer-to-peer overlay computer networks operating over the Internet. It is significant that blockchains are typically managed by a peer-to-peer (P2P) computer networks, and the implementation of the blockchain is done without the need of a trusted authority or central server. Andrei I. Bodrenko invented Web3 in 2013 by publishing: the video report at the largest Central & Eastern European conference in the field of Software Engineering (see for details: Presentation 2013 (slides 18-24) and Report video 2013 (minutes 12-18)), and by publishing Patent document RU2013154454A representing the key feature of Web3 in December 06, 2013.

The ascendance of relativism has defined the politics, social relations, values, science, and other aspects of modern civilization and its practice. While some effects of relativism are salutary (relativism, for example, has promoted greater tolerance), others are not. This article argues that the ascendance of relativism has led to the demise and ultimate rejection of the concept of absolute truth. As the article explains, absolute truth is a very important operational concept that integrates, regulates, and conserves all spheres of human practice. It enhances human capacity to create new and increasingly more powerful levels of mental organization that are the source of radical innovations: new ideas, theories, and approaches. The article explains that the functional role of absolute truth is essential for sustaining human civilization and its evolution. It demonstrates that the functional role of absolute truth is defined by the universal process of creation. The rejection of absolute truth has been an inevitable result of the anthropocentric tradition that has dominated and continues to dominate human civilization. This tradition fails to recognize the central role of the process of creation in human existence. It is exclusionary and is incompatible with objectivity. This tradition poses a threat to the survival of civilization. The article argues that the revival of absolute truth and its role in human practice will ensure the survival and evolution of human civilization. The article offers a new conception of absolute truth. This conception relies on the universal process of creation as its main organizing principle. Due to its inclusive nature, the process of creation is objective, universal, and invariable under transformation. Since the new conception is based on the process of creation, it also possesses its properties; it is objective, universal, and invariable. It is not transient as the past conceptions of absolute truth. Finally, the article discusses the ways in which the new conception of absolute truth will affect human practice.

We propose an augmented precedence principle that integrates an algorithmic information prior to favor simpler, low-entropy patterns in the evolution of causal sets. Applied to the sequential growth dynamics of causal set theory, this Occamistic bias naturally selects manifold-like configurations that approximate smooth spacetimes, thereby addressing the entropy dominance problem. On these emergent manifolds, the statistical accumulation of repeated quantum events gives rise to effective quantum dynamics from which the Schroedinger equation is derived. This perspective shows promise of potential extension to chromodynamics; and moreover, by interpreting the spacetime metric as a quantum operator and deriving gravitational dynamics from the minimization of quantum relative entropy between the intrinsic metric and a matter-induced metric, one can establish a connection with entropic theories of gravity. The Occamistic Precedence framework is extended to a relational, Universal Cognition perspective in which the decentralized cosmic ledger "remembers" its past through local interactions, enabling observer-dependent transitions between quantum (Schroedinger-like) and classical (Bellman-like) cognitive regimes providing physical underpinning to mental processes in biological and engineered systems, and potentially also providing a new way of looking at "extraordinary" mental processes such as altered states of consciousness and psi phenomena. Overall, our work suggests that gravity, quantum mechanics, and anomalous cognitive effects may emerge from an underlying, history-dependent process governed by fundamental information-theoretic principles.
