Yes. The clue is that information integrates on its own And deep down, we identify with / as the thing that integrates the information. But when we lo...

I haven't found cosmology or physics to be very fruitful when it comes to this sort of understanding. The Big Bang seems plausible, but the CMB has pr...

I think the big bang is well established by E=mc2, but otherwise there is so little reliable and cross verifiable information. We may be in a Desitter...

This would also describe a pulsating universe. Like a heart beat?

The way I understand nothing, is that it provides no information. So I couldn't say whether it is eternal, or otherwise. The above statement relates t...

In yogic logic, as you might be aware, the aim is to be a nobody. And one of the pleasures of life is to think about nothing. Everything is something ...

Yet here we are, and if zero sum turns out to be true, we still have some time to fill :smile: And what better way to do it than to describe our exist...

In my understanding a body of information ( a self ) integrates more information onto itself, in every moment of consciousness. The information cannot...

Does anyone have any absolute, objective understanding of reality? We can be certain there is no certainty! :lol: Given everything is relative, and re...

:100: Make love not philosophy! :lol: I think that is very sensible. But I find there are still things I don't quite understand, and would like to res...

If the quest is ended - What now? :lol: Now we can make art with some certainty?

:clap: I Googled your name, and I see you are not new to this. Well done. :up:

In systems and complexity theory, a naturally occurring thing is a "self" organizing system. A system organizes on it's own, and thus through this pro...

Because we have no access to absolutes, we must develop a relativistic understanding. :up: How fortunate this coincides with the minimum condition nec...

:up: At the heart of a "self" is a "universal", molding information onto itself.

Metabolism is both anabolism and catabolism. Autophagy is the recycling process by which our cells keep themselves young. They continually break down ...

I must admit, you do ask good questions. You ask the pertinent questions :up: The self is information about the way information has organized itself. ...

There is lots of noise, but when we focus on one aspect of it, it becomes a signal. Then, when we refocus to another aspect of it, the original signal...

I give up.

Yes, but where can that possibly come from other than integrated information? The first information is provided by sense data . This is incorrect. You...

The fundamental thing, "before anything can happen" is that information needs to be integrated, from that integrated information a thought to experime...

I think you need to tidy this up a little. Before you can have an intention, you have to organize information.

We don't have a universally accepted theory of emotions. What they are has been interpreted in various ways. I see them as a force like quality that w...

Could be, I would have said interact - things arise from interactions with other things. Interrelational evolution is the only game in town, as far as...

What creates the emotion / feelings, requires a theory of emotion. I agree with you, I suspect it is something like what I wrote to creative universe....

I think so. At the heart of every "self" is a universal. That universal would have to be something like the anthropic principle - the combined laws of...

:up: That would be emotion / feeling driving the integration of information, thereby creating a self organizing system.

I agree. What I was trying to get at is that mind only deals with information. What it is learning, creating, and changing is information. No?

What is it learning , creating, and changing? Is it information?

This must be the first scientific poem I have ever seen. Artistically its an interesting idea. I think you've got the gist of it. We may quibble over ...

Energy ( electromagnatism ) is the fundamental stuff of physics. We have knowledge of it through the information we have of it. So really it is "energ...

What can I say? It is a very impressive body of work you have.

I watched the entire video. It is excellent! A little slow moving in this context,but I would recommend it to everyone.

Noise is information Wikipedia: Types of noise Signal processing noise can be classified by its statistical properties (sometimes called the "color" o...

cool! :up:

Noise is signals. Information is the fundamental stuff - For all intents and purposes it is our bedrock of reality. Only "a nothing" can provide "no" ...

A glance at the starry sky will provide you with information about it. https://www.informationphilosopher.com/introduction/information/entropy-expansi...

Have you ever considered whether information is the fundamental stuff? That everything is a system in the process of accumulating and integrating info...

You got me there! :chin:

There are many possible answers, but among them some will be better then others, though none will be absolutely true. Not knowing the foundation of re...

- an idealist argument - I love it! :smile:

What with, If not a map?

Ha, Ha. Do you have territory without maps? For an idealist the maps are the territory.

BUT, now that we have reduced the universe to a pocket of order, my argument stands. :razz:

Ha, Ha That's a good point. Laws of physics are mind dependent, so only relate to the observable universe. So we are really saying that the anthropic ...

I'm not arguing that the universe and we exist by design. Whether it arose by chance or not, the reason we are here is because the laws of the univers...

Perhaps not, but this fact itself is part of the answer to the question. No? Or do we just stop enquiring? That is very solipsistic of Max. I can just...

It has a variety of sources. Determinism with a slight element of randomness comes from Neile Theise, Informational understanding is from all over the...
