Can we create a World Peace AI Mathematical Code? A World Peace Humanity Index?
It is an honour to be here!
I want to express my gratitude and appreciation for being in such a spiritual place.
my special thank you and admiration to
Dr Vishwanath Karad Sir, Dr Bhatkar Sir, Dr Mangesh Karad, Mr Rahul Karad
Estimated speakers, professors and honourable audience at this 10th World Peace Parliament of Science, Religion and Philosophy 2024: A Global Confluence for Peace and Understanding.
I first met Dr Karad in Oxford Business School and his energy and life work deeply changed me! Now I am here and this place is a driver of spiritual strength and love for Humanity and wisdom, science and technology.
Since then I have been inspired by Dr Karad’s devotion to peace, science, religion and philosophy, this wonderful educational institution and by rethinking how important his work and The World Peace University are to the world in a time that is being redesigned as we speak by artificial general intelligence.
Recently talking with Dr Karad he asked if we could create a peace formula?
Well this is something I have been working and researching:
a peace mathematical formula?
So, how can we use science, technology and AI to the betterment of humanity and create a Peace Mathematical Code? A World Peace personal and organisational Index.
I want to start with the words of Mahatma Gandhi
- If we are to reach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.
in Young India 19 November 1921 - Non-violence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.
speech at Shahi Bag, 18 March 1922, on a charge of sedition - In my humble opinion, non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.
speech in Ahmadabad, 23 March 1922
Peace is a powerful and yet simple concept.
Peace is an essential goal for humanity, and has been a subject of philosophical debate, political endeavour, and academic inquiry for millennia.
However, to understand peace in a quantifiable, actionable manner, we need to go deeper in the nature of humanity.
The word peace comes from the Latin word pax.
The ultimate root of pax is thought to be the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root pak-, which means to fasten, to bind, or to agree upon. This suggests that peace, in its earliest form, was seen as a binding agreement or pact between parties to maintain harmony.
“Success is progressive realization of worth goal. It is an ongoing activity. It is an internal phenomenon. It takes struggle, hard work and honesty to be successful.” Vijay Bhatkar
Humanity has oscillated between periods of advancement, peace and conflict, cooperation with good and evil. Our present human iteration — Homo sapiens scientific research highlights that emerged in Africa around 300,000 years ago from a species commonly designated as either H. heidelbergensis or H. rhodesiensis, the descendants of H. erectus that remained in Africa. Scientists estimated that our ancestors, the Home sapiens migrated out of the continent, gradually replacing or interbreeding with local populations of archaic humans. The reality is that even if the planet earth has millions of years our present Humans iteration began exhibiting behavioral modernity about 160,000–70,000 years ago, and possibly earlier.
During this time, we found spirituality. Although we cannot say the exact time when humans first became spiritual or religious remains unknown, research in evolutionary archaeology shows credible evidence of religious/ritualistic behaviour from around the Middle Paleolithic era (45–200 thousand years ago).
Scientists generally interpret a number of artefacts from the Upper Palaeolithic (50,000–13,000 BCE) as representing religious ideas. Examples of Upper Palaeolithic remains that some associate with religious beliefs include the lion man, the Venus figurines, and the elaborate ritual burial from Sungir.
Until about 12,000 years ago, all humans lived as hunter-gatherers. The development of humanity as civilisation was a recent stage in human evolution. How can we look at the major dates and benchmarks of development of humanity as civilisation?
The Neolithic Revolution (the invention of agriculture) first took place in Southwest Asia and spread through large parts of the Old World over the following millennia. It also occurred independently in Mesoamerica (about 6,000 years ago), China,Papua New Guinea, and the Sahel and West Savanna regions of Africa.
The first steps of the urban revolution took place in the 4th millennium BCE with the development of city-states, particularly Sumerian cities located in Mesopotamia humanity as we somehow define it now in a civilisation way started . It was in these cities that the earliest known form of writing, cuneiform script, appeared around 3000 BCE. Other major civilizations to develop around this time were Ancient Egypt and the Indus Valley Civilisation.
Fast forward 5000 years we are in the 20th century. The 20th century marked one of the most historically turbulent eras, featuring two World Wars, colonial uprisings, and numerous regional conflicts.
Yet, in the aftermath of the Second World War, while global conflicts have continued, their nature has shifted. Despite a relative reduction in large-scale wars, perceptions of peace and war remain complex, with smaller-scale or regional conflicts like the ones we are experiencing as we speak and global crises (such as financial, terrorism and cyber warfare, fake news, digital and tech disruption) perpetuating an intensifying sense of unrest.
The duplicity of our human nature is something that can go to extremes of both peace and war, good and evil pursuing both conflict and harmony. Moreover science, spirituality and religion are still critical to empower us in the new journey of AI and AGI.
“Science without Religion (Spirituality) is lame, while Religion without Science is blind.” Dr. Albert Einstein
Using AI and Research on the last 12000 years of the maturity of humanity as a civilisation I tried to elaborate and present a comprehensive framework for a A World Peace Humanity Index. This is a mathematical model that integrates historical data on Humanity features, emotional intelligence, ideas, personalities fostering progress and balance, and the data on war, conflict, and how nonviolent resistance can be developed using technology and AI.
I challenge all of us and the special young generation of students at MIT WPU and all universities and education institutions to construct this peace mathematical formula and code collectively.
And I repeat my questions:
Can we create a Peace Mathematical Code?
Can we create a A World Peace Humanity Index that can foster the very best of our humanity?
We are in a time when AI is becoming the new evolutionary second nature of humanity and we are moving into AGI. At this moment in time we have to rethink how we behave and design our thinking, our humanity operating systems!
Can we create the foundation of a A World Peace Humanity Index using an AI data-driven approach? Can we create Wisdom + Utopia — Wisdomia that can integrate humanity’s millennial wisdom, and integrate nonviolent concepts from figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.? Can we draw on the lessons of the last 12,000 / 5,000 years of human history?
By analysing historical data on wars, their causes, and their outcomes, as well as identifying key patterns between peace and conflict, we can establish a mathematical framework for understanding the conditions that foster or inhibit global peace.
If we look at the major historical human war conflicts we can list:
Highlighting this and working with AI, scientific, historical and human philosophical knowledge and research we create a Peace Humanity Mathematical Code.
Let’s us start by Analysing War and Peace Through a Mathematical Model:
To quantify the likelihood of peace or conflict, we propose the following factors be considered in a mathematical model:
This formula attempts to balance the forces of peace (education balanced with philosophy, wisdom, wellbeing and emotional intelligence, nonviolence) against the drivers of conflict (health, wealth inequality, ideological intransigence, and environmental stress).
\[
P = \frac{(Nf — Nc) \cdot Lr}{Wr + Ir + Er}
\]
Where:
- \( P \) is the Peace Index (on a scale from 0 to 1, where 1 is complete peace and 0 is complete war).
- \( Nf \) is the number of nonviolent movements within a given period.
- \( Nc \) is the number of violent conflicts within the same period.
- \( Lr \) is the literacy rate and education — emotional intelligence level, which correlates with an informed populace less likely to engage in war.
- \( Wr \) is the wealth and health gap or resource inequality.
- \( Ir \) is ideological rigidity (the degree to which societies are unwilling to compromise ideologically).
- \( Er \) is environmental resource depletion (conflicts often arise over dwindling resources).
By integrating historical data on wars and conflicts, nonviolent philosophies, and modern AI technologies, we can create a dynamic mathematical driven Global Peace Index capable of guiding future generations toward sustained global harmony.
This AI Peace Humanity index will not only quantify humanity’s capacity to manage balance progress and harmony, the current levels of peace but also predict potential future conflicts and offer solutions based on a mathematical understanding of peace and war dynamics.
Nonviolence, as espoused by leaders like Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., remains at the heart of this effort, reminding us that “the path to peace is an active, deliberate choice”, requiring constant vigilance, self-reflection, and collective action.
I want to finish mentioning the historic Letter from a Birmingham Jail, from Martin Luther King where he highlighted “a negative peace which is the absence of tension” to “a positive peace which is the presence of justice.”
This initiative and institution is a major milestone in building the road forward towards war against war and that always starts with our children, each one of us. I would like to invite you to build this World Peace Humanity Index with me!
“Everyone one has to struggle, so don’t be afraid of it. It helps build capabilities to achieve success.” Vijay Bhatkar
A World Peace Humanity Index driven by us and AI that includes a Positive peace that acknowledges and dialogues both with the better angel of our nature and the evils, reminding Gandhi.
We all here have a responsibility
It starts, always, now!
Thank you 🙏🏻

Notes about the context of the speech
I had the privilege to make this speech in the World Peace Dome
The World Peace Dome Monument is dedicated to the public to be a ‘Centre of Wisdom, Knowledge Dissemination and Social Transformation.”
Conceptualised, designed, planned and created under the guidance and supervision of the visionary educationist and proponent of peace, Prof. Dr. Vishwanath Karad.
About the
10th World Parliament of Science, Religion and Philosophy-2024
Science and spirituality are the two most important aspects of human life. While science typically focuses on the empirical investigation of the world through observation, experimentation, and evidence-based reasoning; spirituality deals with the questions of meaning, purpose, and transcendence that often lie beyond the scope of physical measurement. Science and spirituality may sometimes seem contrasting, but there is a growing recognition they both have in exploring the complexities of life.
With this thought in mind, for the last nine years, MIT-WPU has proudly celebrated the World Parliament of Science, Religion, and Philosophy at the MIT World Peace Dome in Loni. This visionary initiative, conceived by Revered Prof. Dr. Vishwanath D. Karad, seeks to establish a value-based universal education system, integrating science and religion/spirituality to foster a holistic, peace-loving, and harmonious global Society. https://mitwpu.edu.in/notification/10th-world-parliament-of-science-religion-and-philosophy-2024
