This is well expressed. But I wonder, can you see how perception (extra information) has to integrate with already established information to form und...

Why do you think it doesn't? I know somebody who has a very uncomfortable, often painful, time digesting and it ruins their day often. The totality of...

I wasn't specifically referring to IIT, though it is also a relevant question for it. Imo, the single most pertinent question regarding all this is wh...

As far as I can see, there is a continuum of integrated information, integrating more and more information on to itself. The brain provides the substr...
June 08, 2021 at 03:58
This the pertinent point. Evolutionary biology ( brain ) facilitates the information gathering and translating, but only the integrated information ca...

We may have cause effect repertoires. I wouldn't say they are exhaustive, as a moment of consciousness is a final synthesis of cause effect repertoire...

To all. There lies the dilemma, what integrates the information?

Today we can imagine an energetic reality ( E=mc2, and Rutherford's experiments ). When we imagine such a reality we mustn't forget that everything in...

We currently have the internet, which has led to a quantum shift in my understanding, but you are probably thinking about something like Neuralink? Wa...

It is the only way to form a conception of reality - via a paradigm based on our knowledge, that forms our consciousness, that creates our reality.

Would you say the below is a fair description of what Gödel is saying? Whilst the equation is true according to the rules of the math. The rules of th...
June 03, 2021 at 23:07
Yes I think that is correct. As we have outlined earlier, it is not possible to reach that underlying reality absolutely, so we will only ever have in...

0 Thanks for that. I didn't mean to be quite so flippant.
June 03, 2021 at 05:14
If you highlight the text a quote option appears. That is pretty close. I would say if information can be integrated and symbolized, and physical form...
June 03, 2021 at 04:19
Oh! I'm a little slow with hints. Spirit fits, as it is a similarly uncertain substance, as does a god that is omnipresent but without definition. A m...

We can help each other out then. Physics is also my weakness.

:roll: If collapse is true, then it is true for everything. This would mean naive realists would have to admit panpschism! :razz: It is the only way t...

o This would depend on an energy and information reality. Have you changed your mind about matter?
June 02, 2021 at 09:17
It suggests a just in time reality. A reality that occurs just as we collapse it. It would fit into an energy and information paradigm. But I think it...
June 02, 2021 at 08:18
Do tell?
June 02, 2021 at 07:37
I cant see how that can possibly be. A mind has to interpret reality. You need only to look at the variety of responses to questions asked in various ...
June 02, 2021 at 07:29
We don't know what the inherent substance of energy is. What we know is E=mc2, and for @"the mad fool" E/c2=m. The c2 is a constant, so can be disrega...
June 02, 2021 at 07:16
Your best argument would be to say energy clumps together into an emergent property, thus into elementary particles, then atoms, molecules, etc. Thus ...
June 02, 2021 at 07:06
Not sure what you mean? This is a Phil papers survey Note the differences of opinion and paradigm. Each paradigm is a different reality. Each paradigm...
June 01, 2021 at 09:22
That is one of the metaphysical problems - that it is not possible to make a mind independent observation. So reality at any level is a function of mi...

If we are going to philosophize we have to be prepared to go wherever the logic takes us, imo. Otherwise we are like explorers who will only tread a p...

Does E=mc2 prove materialism false?
June 01, 2021 at 08:37
I thought I was saying something like that. My expression often lets me down. Thanks
June 01, 2021 at 08:36
Not true If everything is made of energy. Energy has unlimited potential.
June 01, 2021 at 08:23
Your quote talks of something singular and all encompassing, all I can think of that fits the description is energy.
June 01, 2021 at 08:15
But what is God? If everything is the one substance, and that substances is God then I would agree. Then it would be that G=mc2! :smile:
June 01, 2021 at 08:05
Spirit / energy is till here Jack. The consciousness question has gone elsewhere.
June 01, 2021 at 07:56
I have found the eastern way of thought to be invaluable to myunderstanding. Chakra is great, but Osho I found to be the best source. It took a long t...
June 01, 2021 at 04:04
Yes, its uncanny how there is an intuition about it, but the articulation just falls short of explanation. Throughout my life I have heard vague mutte...
June 01, 2021 at 03:07
I don't feel bad thanks. I realized that to continue my line of argument would clash with your paradigm, so I backed off. I have skimmed through the b...

Get in touch with. Fair enough. :smile:
June 01, 2021 at 00:55
That is exactly what energy is: an irreducible simple. We only have access to it by way of information. In the stated case: amplitude, frequency, char...
June 01, 2021 at 00:32
A conscious entity would need to interpret the information flow. But what does interpret mean? In the broadest sense even a rock interprets the inform...

Out of respect for Jack's thread, lets continue this here.

I think the energy is related to the spirit / soul we feel ourselves to be — Pop What about intelligence? Or mind? Where does that fit into the pictur...
May 31, 2021 at 23:15
Science tells us that everything is fundamentally made of energy! So sayeth @"Adughep" and Einstein, E=mc2 We speak of a spirit or soul that we feel o...
May 31, 2021 at 22:58
I agree. In my model the pattern is the information. The energy is the fundamental substance being entangled. It is best revealed in the metaphysics o...
May 30, 2021 at 05:52
Yes , I would go for energy also. I think the energy is related to the spirit / soul we feel ourselves to be. Over a lifetime the information changes,...
