| | | | | [AI summary] The text discusses a framework for understanding subjective time as a causal network of local binding connections. It explores how different states of consciousness, such as those induced by psychedelics, can alter this network, leading to various experiences of time, including time loops, moments of eternity, and timelessness. The framework also connects these experiences to emotional valence and the structure of consciousness, suggesting that symmetry and regularity in the network contribute to positive emotional states. The text concludes by emphasizing the potential of this approach as a starting point for further research into time perception and consciousness. | |

| | | | | A question that has puzzled me is the one of the evolutionary reasons for consciousness. I'm speaking loosely here. Evolution doesn't really have reasons. Changes happen in organisms because the changes in the long run bestow some advantage (or at least no disadvantage) to the survival of the organism. Let's rephrase the question: what evolutionary... | |

| | | | | Nicolas Rouleau and Michael Levin have a new preprint out: Brains and Where Else? Mapping Theories of Consciousness to Unconventional Embodiments. The gist of the paper is that we should be open to seeing consciousness in places other than brains. While I'm onboard with that general premise, they take it to places that don't seem... | |

| | | Abstract: Machine and language models of computation differ so greatly in the computational complexity properties of their representation that they form two distinct classes that cannot be directly compared in a meaningful way. While machine models are self-contained, the properties of the language models indicate that they require a computationally powerful collaborator, and are better... | ||
