The Computer can probably comprehend something in the sense that it has the rules. But without a Conscious aspect it will never know it has the rules....

Yes that is good. Science can not make a Conscious Machine because Science does not even know what Human Consciousness is. Science cannot give a Machi...

Of course the Computer can not feel deprived before it attains some aspect of Consciousness. I think when we finally understand our Consciousness we w...

Of course you can not let a Machine have access to certain kinds of data. If you are referring to the anthropomorphic character of the statement I wou...

If Machines can become Conscious then they would be as alive as you and me, just based on different Material principles. But that's the trick. Underst...

All I'm saying is that the Designers are trying to mimic. The mechanism that implements this is probably what you say.

Just curious. What aspect of the Computer do you think will prevent it from doing 1 as well as 2? I think the missing aspect is Consciousness.

It's still not as good as people thought it would become but it is a lot better.

Agree 100%, we might not ever be able to do it, but it's fun trying.

True, but the pupose is to mimic Human Intelligence.

True the Machine will not have the same dignity as a Human until it has Consciousness. I certainly am proposing a type of Dualism and the Inter Mind M...

Humans will never completely comprehend 4D Space. We can only look at projections, slices and other 3D visualization techniques. We can never really g...

It is kind of restrictive. The post is still here so I think I'll take the next step and say to everyone: Try Googling something that rhymes with "The...

People have complained about the quantity of Acronyms. Just want to mention that there is now an easier to read version of this paper on a website tha...

I like to trace the experience of Color from the Source to the Experience. Electromagnetic waves associated with Red hit the Retina. At the instant th...

Something like the experience of Red is an experience. It is not a thought. There's no meaning to it. You can't argue with it. Red is a Conscious thin...

There are no Waves in my Mind. The Waves are in the External World. Just because I understand the Waves doesn't mean they are in my Mind. The Waves ar...

The short answer is that it has not been found in the Brain so far and we have been trying to find it in the Brain for a long time now. It just does n...

We don't know what any other organism sees or does not see. But if it is a Conscious type of seeing then there is a Big Explanatory Gap that needs to ...

Let's just talk about the experience of the color Red. Electromagnetic waves in the external Physical World are an oscillating Electric and Magnetic p...

I agree that the Brain has a type of Software and a type of Hardware. But from my point of view none of that has to actually be the Conscious Mind. A ...

It seems like you have a big process in the Brain function. And it seems like you say empirical research will be needed. Sorry if I am still not quite...

Isn't it possible that the Conscious Mind grows along with the Neurons in the Brain and is a separate thing from the Neurons? The only thing we know h...

Then I would want to know what the mechanism or process is that facilitates this Direct Seeing of objects. If you can not show me a convincing mechani...

Good essay. I think that Quantum Mechanics could be the key to understanding Consciousness. The effect of Consciousness has always been part of some i...

The main problem with Direct Realism is that there never is any explanation of how we directly experience things. Even if Direct Realism is true there...

But when you say Visual Model what is that? I want to know what the Model is. If you say the Model is just Neural Activity then I think there is a big...

The Conscious Mind is definitely using the same Physical Signals as the Visual System. The Inner Light (Conscious Light) is correlated with these Sign...

Saying, What Organ is that, is just asking the basic question how does Consciousness work. We don't know yet. There's probably no Physical type of Org...

Certainly Quantum Physic has talked about the effect of Consciousness on results of certain experiments. So it would seem like it is well within the j...

That's ok if you don't like how I say it. Can't help it that's how I talk. I didn't say that that's all we are is Conscious. I just said Conscious Lif...

Maybe I should have simply asked How do we See?, not What does it Mean to See?

First of all Conscious Life Forms like us are Physical Things. That's just a fact. I say First Of All with the implication that there is a Second of A...

The next sentence says It is now Nerve Impulses and Nerve Firings. That's the something else. It is the basic function of Nerves to transmit something...

As soon as the Physical Light hits the Retina it is turned into something else as it transmitted to the Cortex. It is now Nerve Impulses and Nerve Fir...

Yes, original ideas are hard to come by. But your Conscious Experience of Red is your own personal Experience. I'm only saying that my interest is in ...

I am guided by 20 years of reading about as many aspects of Consciousness as I could find. I have studied Brain Physiology and Philosophy related to C...

If the experience of Red can not be found in the only things we know, Matter, Energy. and Space then speculating that there must be some other Thing o...
