| | | | | [AI summary] This article is a collection of discussions and perspectives on the nature of consciousness, focusing on whether it is an emergent property of complex systems. It touches on various viewpoints from different contributors, including philosophical, scientific, and even speculative theories. The discussion includes references to the role of quantum mechanics, the relationship between consciousness and the physical world, and the challenges in defining and measuring consciousness. The article also mentions the work of researchers like Sandro Sozzo and others who explore the intersection of consciousness and quantum theory. Additionally, it highlights the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in understanding consciousness, and the ongoing debat... | |

| | | | | by Mike Johnson The following is my considered evaluation of the Foundational Research Institute, circa July 2017. I discuss its goal, where I foresee things going wrong with how it defines suffering, and what it could do to avoid these problems. TL;DR version: functionalism ("consciousness is the sum-total of the functional properties of our brains")... | |

| | | [AI summary] The text describes three computational simulations designed to model cessation experiences, which are states of reduced phenomenological content. These simulations are based on the concepts of recursive mappings between sensory fields, coupled oscillators, and gestalt detection. The first simulation, the Gestalt Detector, explores how different perspectives interact with our ability to detect patterns in the environment. The second, Standing Wave Pattern Across Multiple Fields, investigates how waves in different fields can be synchronized by using either 3D or 2D distance functions. The third, Fractal Recursive Coherence, models how recursive projections can lead to a state of zero phenomenality by collapsing all projections into a single point... | ||
