| | | | | Both physics and philosophy are jargon-ridden. So let's first define some key concepts. Both "consciousness" and "physical" are contested terms. Accurately if inelegantly, consciousness may be described following Nagel ("What is it like to be a bat?") as the subjective what-it's-like-ness of experience. Academic philosophers term such self-intimating "raw feels" "qualia" - whether macro-qualia... | |

| | | | | [AI summary] The article discusses the development of computational simulations to model meditative cessations and peak 5-MeO-DMT experiences. It introduces three key simulations: (1) Gestalt Detector, which explores how specific points of view interact with our ability to detect gestalts, modulating scene fabrication through the Near Miss parameter. (2) Standing Wave Pattern Across Multiple Fields, which allows comparison of emergent resonant modes in coupled oscillators using Coupling Kernels and switches between 3D and 2D distance functions, hypothesizing that cessations occur when waves travel identically regardless of distance function. (3) Fractal Recursive Coherence, which models recursive projections between sensory fields to create synesthetic const... | |

| | | A few weeks ago, I attended the Seven Pines Symposium on Fundamental Problems in Physics outside Minneapolis, where I had the honor of participating in a panel discussion withSir Roger Penrose. The way it worked was, Penrosespoke for a half hour about his ideas about consciousness (Gödel, quantum gravity, microtubules, uncomputability, you know the drill),... | ||
