this is all upside down to a FUBAR state, sorry. Living organisms dissipate entropy to maintain homeostasis, and this principle is deeply rooted in th...

sorry, not. It seems you will at some point pull a joker out of pocket and claim that this proves Creationism, probably. :P We know more or less EXACT...

If you have had maybe looked at my RFOC Theory (videos or texts) there is a part of discussion which, similar to Chalmers, tries to disassemble "Consc...

well, the brain builds only a model, a representation of the object "reality". We have an interface that represents the outer world in the mind, so it...

well one can be a dualist, but it's better to be a trialist: matter-brain energy-EM field of it mind-reflective inner property of the energy field in ...

Here's one widely accepted formulation: Qualia are intrinsic and non-intentional phenomenal properties that are introspectively accessible. Let’s brea...

in tech, we do call it "training". Colloquially, learning :)
July 28, 2025 at 22:37
i would say that thoughts are a sequence of qualia (feels of concepts) that follow in quick succession. On brain scans, we can follow these for a few ...
July 28, 2025 at 22:25
Sorry, our math contemplations do contain a lot of fine qualia that are not so maybe prominent as other stronger qualia, but can still very much be se...

for the RECEIVING end, i think you did read the TIQM by prof. Cramer that i sent you the link of. RECEIVING aka PERCEIVING is a quanta-based (photon w...

I meant that it is proven that the thalamus region in the center of the brain can actively change (entrain) both the regime of work (sleep, deep think...

not really. The programmers gave them only the framework to learn, i.e. designed the artificial neural network. Afterwards, the AI neural network has ...

well, he is a lawyer by profession, so he finds an ear with general public being a good orator :) also resonance = phase coherence = synchronous oscil...

Actually, MUCH different - and take it from an EE: Switches, without the appropriate circuitry do not produce the EM field, especially not phase synch...

EM field theories attempt to solve several puzzles in consciousness science: The Binding Problem: How does the brain unify information from millions o...

even in greater detail, we know which frequency band of EM field does which part of conscious experience, too. (3am in EU, zzZZz -- to be continued)

From a PoV of a software engineer that coded in LISP back in 1973 when P.Winstons book "AI" came out it is easy to classify both the intentions, belie...
July 28, 2025 at 01:06
well, from decades old research around 2000s, we know that we can map the conceptual content of the brain to the synchronous activity of different neu...

That you have to ask a blabberer that does not have the newest data model to conclude anything new is ... sorrowful indeed. This whole thread began wi...
July 26, 2025 at 22:30
OFC, the same way AI interprets any kind of pictures, it can EASILY map out the MR scans of the active brain areas to conclude which qualia is (statis...

they do seem to interact through shifting the possible states according to the key surfaces found in the environment. This IS already communication, a...

Already the RNA that transcribes is the "observer"- and more so, the resultant synthesised protein reactions in the cell are. Though, in information t...

July 22, 2025 at 22:03
well, dear colleague, have a go at TIQM seminal paper (in hope you are not too young to have had quantum mechanics curriculum on study years): it open...
July 22, 2025 at 22:00
well, I agree on that - integrated consciousness theory by IT colleagues DOES lack the mechanism that physically accounts for sensing of that informat...

Also, me thinks we need distinguish in detail "what is searched for" as distinction between easy and hard problems of consciousness as defined by Chal...

close, but no cigar. My background being an EE of old, and that meaning the applied physics, I hope you do not mind me introducing more of physics lan...
