That is a great point! The distinction between order and entropy is the information in the system. That is very much the same as the distinction of th...
:up: Yes, and it causes a change in the sender and recipients brain state, thus changing them. And through an ongoing process of such informing, we ev...
I have a short theory of consciousness. It is badly in need of renovation, but it might give you some clues. Ultimately you have to do something like ...
Information can be simply defined as the opposite of a blank sheet of paper minus the writing on it So: ( paper - writing )opposite = information. or ...
No, I take a** third person perspective and first person perspective into account and I can see the abyss at its end. Hence my guess with the anthropi...
:up: ....Very nice. thank you for your comment. Are there limits on the minimum amount of information?.... According to my model that would be impossi...
In other words - who does the thinking? - the thing that integrates the information - my best guess is the anthropic principle. What is your best gues...
No not faith. Just take a look around yourself and understand all this was once quantum foam. Please reread my previous post to you, and point out whe...
They are different expression for the same thing. I don't think we can get into too much trouble by using brain states. I need to go now, but will be ...
You pretty much understand the gist of it! :up: It also would say brain states exist in a sequence of moments. And it attempts to measure them, but to...
I think you are describing a shift in self here? Yes the self can shift slightly in how it relates to all this. And, I think, this occurs in tiny incr...
But your body also contributes to the state of this, doesn't it? I think our total form, all of the information that our body possesses contributes to...
Possibility seems to be very organized and systematic. I think we should leave it to her. But if she doesn't respond soon just do whatever you feel li...
As a monist, panpsychist, I would argue the first form of information is form itself. This is what seems to be evolving, creating everything in it's p...
Politics of paradigm? He makes a case for information as a fundamental observable, non measurable quantity. Every cellular structure then is code and ...
Semiotics implies a dualism. One has to drop the idea of a mind ( interpretor ) in cellular biology to make any sense of it - that is what Barbeiri wa...
Information enables the interaction of form. It doesn't go anywhere ( does not become immaterial ) since everything is situated and interrelated, evol...
Nowhere. It is a noThing before it becomes form. If you were to say mind was integrated information, and integrated information is equal to form, then...
I don't think so. If you consider it in terms of evolutionary psychology, where language evolved before self awareness, and then a subsequent self con...
That is a good point. I would like to hear Kenosha's opinion also. The way I would reason it is: I would ask what is a thermal microstate to you, If n...
You would be correct that I don't understand the math. :sad: My understanding comes from a different perspective, and I cited that paper, as well as a...
:up: That is a better explanation, thanks. We should also say it is not absolutely a done deal, but seems like it might be. :smile: **The actual conve...
You are looking for inconsistencies in my argument, and I appreciate it. Testing for inconsistencies and cracks is so difficult to do on ones own. How...
My reply to you was clumsy. I wanted to make the point that emotions are the lynchpin of one's philosophy. Emotions, enable experience, and without ex...
I don't think it is about us Possibility ( nonanthropocentric ). I think it is about the creation of form. In the creation of more and more complex fo...
How about, an ordered state has form, and information **is the interaction of form. Information is the interaction of form in systems, and information...
Neural correlates is a commonly used expression, of course I'm referring to the neuroplasticity of the brain, and as I said I am assuming that a chang...
For me, monism means everything is made of the same substance, and we can describe that substance as energy + matter + information, or any other confi...
This is a description of the effects of emotions. Not a description of what emotions are. Emotions are what we feel deep down. We never take side agai...
I'm trying to point out that in the process of exchanging information two interacting systems get changed. Change is the necessary thing that needs to...
The point they are making is that Energy = mass = information. That paper was found in a rush. This paper is a better source. "John Archibald Wheeler ...
The various forms of sanity that we see, is the highest form of reality that there is! :halo: It is a reality that we create ourselves. In Yogic Logic...
You are describing the forming of energy into more complex forms, that we conceptualize as elementary particles, that form atoms, that form molecules,...
:rofl: :rofl: That is the truth of it!! most of our thinking is determined, it maintains its determined momentum, except for random variation!!! That ...
