Yes that's more like it. I am focused on the idea that consciousness = self organization, and am exploring the idea that self organizing systems share...
There is so much focus on the second law of thermodynamics, when natural systems are open / dissipative systems. The second law of thermodynamics fail...
This is an interesting point that I've been considering in regard to introspection - is it a disassociation, or is it an engagement with a constructed...
It tells the oyster story, and specifically how the scientist was initially shunned, and then goes into how today there is better understanding about ...
Its been a long time since I read Piaget. I don't recall him dealing with the issue of experience. How would he account for love? "For Piaget, emotion...
I don't think it could be reengineered, but its an interesting idea. :chin: If bonding was painful, we would be averse to it, so there would be no bon...
We cant see the beginning, there is not enough information. What we can observe though, is that the attractor is itself the program ( self organizatio...
The way I understand it is that in a universe biased towards order, all of its component parts must also be biased towards order. As a monist, I then ...
I love the things and people that give me pleasure! Interpersonal love is the feeling that results from the experience of being willingly bonded to so...
This is a form of pleasure for some people. It improves their climax! This too would be a function of self organization - it would be a way to resolve...
:up: In complexity theory , the 1:1 situation is called an equilibrium state, whilst a 2: 1 is a far from equilibrium state. 1: 2 would be a disintegr...
Yes they originate from the universal Bias to self organize, and from elements external to self. The self is caused initially, and then takes on a mom...
I did not claim that it was a point that you made. I stated it was a variation on the theme. You have provided such an example yourself. Reverse trans...
You present valid and interesting third person perspectives of time. I wonder if you would be able to illustrate a first person perspective of time as...
The story currently doesn't have an ending. We create the story through self organization, where the story continually emerges. Self organization fits...
This simple explanation puts a whole different light on things for me. I mistook G*D for "we mustn't speak his name", so this clouded my whole attitud...
According to complexity theory the result of the greater system ( the synergized self ) is a product of the local interaction of its component parts. ...
When the qualities of disparate elements are combined, they may form a synergy. When they do form a synergy then the disparate elements start acting a...
Ha, there is a description of Prions in the awareness of molecules thread. My understanding is cancer evolves along a similar path. Things go wrong, a...
Yes , you are correct, and so is Capra. The whole cascade is effected as below, and then it self organizes . 1.The synergy of atoms combined forms mol...
From a systems perspective, we are an amalgam of elements, very much like a school of fish. It is organization that creates a self ( self organization...
It is self organization that exists, not just organization. You need to reflect upon the fact and link it back to your own consciousness, via the asse...
Yes the synergy at all of those levels creates an emergent property not found at lower levels of complexity. Such as in a school of fish: https://syne...
Its difficult to relate to the idium of a cellular existence, but consider the synergy of a school of fish https://synergytravelblog.files.wordpress.c...
I found your website well written and interesting, you have an easy to read style, and there was lots of good information. I found navigating the site...
In accordance with complexity theory: The qualia ( or quality ) of disparate elements, when combined, may form a synergy. The synergy is an emergent q...
Yes I thought this would be a problem for you, but it may also be a solution. I find you have an intelligent conception of God, not an anthropocentric...
Yes, human consciousness is waist deep in subjectivity. Ultimately an understanding has to be framed from the first person perspective, but for now I ...
Yes originally I also began with information as the first step, and it still figures prominently in there, but now I understand self organization is t...
Another interesting variant of this theme are Prions. "Prions are misfolded proteins with the ability to transmit their misfolded shape onto normal va...
Indeed, how can this possibly happen? But is this a crude form of awareness? DNA is about 750 mb of data, or roughly the equivalent of 100 encyclopedi...
" Nothing" stays the same. It is unchanging and dose not evolve. But the universe and all of its components are constantly changing and evolving. :chi...
:up: I wasn't referring to you specifically but to the world in general. I feel it would be a better world if universal interconnectedness was an all ...
According to Piaget's constructivism, knowledge is accumulated piece by piece, where the next piece is constructed upon the previous piece. The theory...
I take your point. It may well be that we construe differently, but consistent with constructivist theory and phenomenology we would each have only on...
:up: This would be the normal western / phenomenological interpretation. In Yogic philosophy, pleasure is not entirely dependent upon externalities bu...
I get really annoyed when people mistake art for something decorative or purely aesthetic, including when artists themselves do this. An artist is fre...
My understanding of the normal mechanism of thought is roughly outlined in the previous post. I would say what you are describing is a making of unexp...
The normal mechanism of thought is occurring. The way I understand the phenomenologists argument is, If the normal mechanism of thought is occurring t...
I've found your explanations extremely helpful, so thanks, but I will check it out. I originally couldn't see how systems would interact with time, bu...
It is similar in that it is phenomenal. If it is phenomenal then the normal mechanism of thought is occurring, so difficult to distinguish from ordina...
I agree with you that Varela and Thompson have misconstrued the implications of the present moment. If there is a feeling present, and there is in the...
A lineage of consciousness / life? Who can deny it? It has long been the view in Yogic logic, and in biology we are a vehicle for DNA. It dose take so...
