I wanted to say that determinists deny the existence of options rather than determinism. Sure, I think that the mind is separate from neural processes...

I think it is related. You can realize a few objects in your visual field immediately without counting. These objects are registered in your working m...

Working memory is the memory of the conscious mind which is temporary.

I think it depends on the working memory of the person which is at most 5 to 6 items.

Correct. There is however a limit on the number of things that we can realize without counting. I think it is related to working memory and it is at m...

I found this useful thesis about counting objects by a convolutional neural network. Sure they are. The point is that both paths are real and accessib...

I am unsure whether we first realize two objects and then distinguish/resolve them from each other upon further investigations or first distinguish/re...

Yes, the bibliography also lists the references which could be useful. I will go through them after I finish the thesis.

@"Relativist" Ok, after a long search, I found an interesting thesis that deals with a neural network that can count. I read up to chapter 3. It is la...

No, here I am interested in understanding how we realize objects/options in our vision fields. Please read the previous post if you are interested.

I did an extensive search and I found many methods for object recognition. Here, you can find two main methods, namely CNN, and YOLO. Granted that obj...

We don't count options if a few are presented to us. We just realize the number of options right away as a result of neural processes in the brain. I ...

Yes. I am wondering how we can realize two objects which look the same as a result of neural processes in the brain accepting that the neural processe...

We have a slight difference here. I am a substance dualist and it seems to me that you are a physicalist. But please let's focus on the topic of the t...

I agree that one can write code to help a robot count the number of unmoving dots in its visual field. But I don't think a person can write code to he...

We couldn't possibly reason if what we perceive was random. So, let's focus on perception. Why things that you perceive is coherent?

I am not talking about perception but coherence in perception. Show me how idealism can explain coherence in perception.

That is an interesting article. I however think that the conclusion, assigning free will to neural process, is wrong. The main reason for this is that...

I am not confusing two. Please see the above post.

I asked whether idealism can explain the coherence in reality. Yes, or no? If yes, then how? If not, then it is not the proper metaphysical theory of ...

I am interested to know what happens at the neural level when we realize that there are two paths.

Ok, I will try to make things more clearer for you. First, I have to say that De Broglie–Bohm's interpretation of quantum mechanics is correct since i...

I say that you have only one option available when there is only one path available to you. Could you please elaborate here?

I'm sorry, but I can't follow you. Could you please write your opinion in plain English so I can understand what you're discussing?

Ok, I see.

I am sorry that he was banned. He is a knowledge person and I learned a few things from him. He will be missed.

Reasoning is an analysis of ideas. I asked, how is coherent thought possible in idealism?

Ok.

To me will is an ability of the mind. What do you mean by mental processes here?

I didn't say that. How is the thought process possible in idealism?

Not at all. The reasoning is based on working on the ideas.

What do you mean by correct here? If you have an idea of a tree then that is just an idea.

Why not? Does idealism explain coherence in reality? What do you mean by this? I already argued against idealism.

I said what I should have said.

I don't understand what you are trying to say here. I was trying to be simple explaining the existence of options as a mental phenomenon. We are on th...

I am saying that idealism should not be accepted as a correct metaphysical theory if it cannot explain the coherence in reality.

According to SEP, there are two main forms of idealism, namely ontological and epistemological, wherein the reality is merely mental in the former whe...

Ok, first idealism. As I said idealism is false because it cannot explain the coherence in the reality that we perceive. Let me give you one example: ...

Because we are talking about options. If I present you with one ball, there is only one option available whereas in another case, when you are present...

Idealism is false since it cannot explain coherence in the ideas that we perceive. Physicalism also is false since it cannot explain mental phenomena ...

I am not talking about the decision here yet since I didn't ask you which ball you pick from the two. I am saying that we can distinguish between situ...
