| | | | | [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... | |

| | | | | [AI summary] The text presents a comprehensive overview of Steven Lehar's contributions to the field of consciousness and neurocomputation, emphasizing his harmonic resonance theory and its implications for understanding human perception, aesthetics, and the nature of reality. It highlights his work on the relationship between the mind and music, the psycho-aesthetic hypothesis, and the concept of frozen time as an alternative explanation for the nature of time and causality. The text also discusses the significance of developmental milestones, particularly the 'map is not the territory' concept from Korzybski's General Semantics, and its relevance to theory of mind. Additionally, it mentions various references and citations related to Lehar's work and other... | |

True to its name, ecstasy promotes a kind of euphoric jitteryness, in which it is just a thrill... | |
