Here we have to be careful to avoid, or account for, infinite regress, or should it be described as infinite recursion? Picture (whether dreaming or a...

Does what you say imply there exists within the world objective states of a system rooting representations thereof within facts? If so, can we designa...

Let me make a beginning to my response by asking if dog_doghouse and mind_brain are two duos forming a true parallel. Dog_doghouse is a relationship b...

Are you telling me it's generally true the mind and the world have no internal/external relationship? On the other hand, are you instead telling me th...

You have given me what I asked for, and I thank you for it. Already my understanding has a sharper focus because of what you've shared with me. I thin...

If consciousness functions as a boundary administrator, formatting the picture of reality into the physical world of material objects with discrete bo...

As you can see from my above quote, I think the (IT) based terminology is a useful analogy for describing brain_mind activity. In my attack upon the H...

I don't see any escape from the contradiction. In your original intention with your quote, you argued that the experience of seeing red can be interio...

Please note that in our conversation, consciousness is representation. As such, consciousness itself is a construction from the aggregated quanta of (...

Great -- and deep -- questions. I think your forward vision of where this is going is good. Little doubt rejiggering Kant with (hopefully) substantial...

Thank-you. This is a work in progress. I present my theories incomplete because my method of working requires interaction with other thinkers who chec...

This is a deep question. Presently, I am focusing on consciousness as a builder by way of being a boundary administrator. The boundary negotiations wo...

In your earlier quote immediately above, you argue that our working memory is not solely based on the immediate connection between self and world. In ...

I'm asking if math representations have referents within the practical world of empirical physics. Since math supposedly allows us to create valid for...

So far, I'm suggesting that consciousness functions as an organizational principle of the representation of reality. In turn, this representation is a...

You do a good job clarifying the richness of the palette of QM applications. In order to keep the scope of my focus manageable, for now I'd like to st...

I understand you to be referring to R.A.M./R.O.M. with: "working memory and long-term memory." I understand you to be saying that the "views" type of ...

I understand you to be referring to such macro-QM effects as the tenants living atop a skyscraper aging faster than those living on the ground floor d...

We're getting into the metaphysics of consciousness when we start examining Schrödinger's Equation and begin understanding some particulars of the pro...

Yes, it's the vertical stacking of higher-orders of memory feedback looping; this is what the current generation of robots lacks. That's why, as yet, ...

As I understand you, you are saying when I imagine a cat, I'm having a completely internal experience between different parts of myself, i.e., I'm hav...

An imagination is invisible to the 3rd person perspective; it is not invisible to the 1st person perspective. I can't see what you imagine; I can see ...

If by central executive you mean CPU (central processing unit), then I say it's not an unreasonable stretch to construe "processing" as "views." In ea...

You're telling me the category type for consciousness is unknowable. You're telling me the category type being unknowable is intimately tied to consci...

You have exposed an error in my narrative quoted at top. I've underlined the part of my narrative where I've jumped the proper continuity by omitting ...

Sidebar -- Firstly, Skalidris, I'm glad you're again posting to your conversation here. After your long absence, I was afraid you'd checked out perman...

There's no difference of opinion here. Yes, in this situation, the electric current is potential before the circuit closes. Our difference centers on ...

A mass of neurons has processing of memory functions attached; I'm not sure, but I think AI operates in similar fashion.

This polarization of negatively charged particles into a concentration apart from positive charge, thus creating a potential for current flow, example...

Are you implying the GUI is being viewed by an immaterial mind? Would this be, in context of your thinking, cognition-to-cognition, along the lines of...

Somebody's gotta say something, otherwise our theater becomes a graveyard. When I mis-speak half-truth, eventually someone will correct me, so in the ...

Yes. I thought maybe your holistic combination of substance, form and dynamics creates an environment wherein parts are simultaneously discrete and ge...

So, for sentients, meaning is always personal? Can facts persist without meaning, i.e., can facts exist without observation? Let's suppose they can't....

Yes. The artist, pushing against the boundaries of what human can be, what human can do, distracts an audience from its tedium: sweet distraction, alm...

So, you embrace the understanding information is physico-material? So, in the case of an information field flanked by energy fields, we have a groupin...

Hello, 180 Proof, we h. sapiens are embodied subjects (i.e. mindbodies); our minds are more-than-minds (i.e. non-ideality)-dependent; :up: :100: I hop...

When the brain converts data into meaning, do you think the process involves using one narrative (data) to generate another narrative-about-a-narrativ...

Now we go deeper into the brain_mind interface. The experience of seeing red, like the experience of seeing animated graphic images on a computer scre...

You're drawing a bead on the center of the HPoC. As I understand you, the central issue is the question: How is the subjective experience connected to...

I'm not going to let myself confuse incomprehension with unintelligibility. I think I understand the logical connections linking grab right hand with ...

Write the math onto a marking board, put your right hand alongside the math and then take a picture. The math represents the right hand with bifurcati...

Some of the earlier levels of machine learning are supposed to be examples of what you describe above, but machine data processing is connected to the...

RH = Right Hand. Now, let me file my report on my right hand grabbing itself. Report: RH = RH. Now, it's your turn to respond to one of my things: I s...

It’s equally true that consciousness cannot be viewed solely as a subject since objects must be acknowledged in order to establish consciousness. I se...

There is the question whether experience of direct sensory input is incomprehensible_inexpressible stimulation_perturbation of a material_physical sta...

All members of the animal kingdom make audible utterances in response to what they're experiencing. As cognitive capacity increases going upward along...

Our current turn in the conversation is promising along the lines of further examining the relationship between subjective/objective. Right. Our neces...

This is an intriguing conjectured phenomenon. One question raised by it that comes to mind is whether or not subjective experience counts as behavior....

If we use the Turing_Chalmers' argument to the effect: a cyborg externally programmed to behave like a conscious human will appear to be conscious i.e...
