Steven Grossberg. Craig Weinberg. Joscha Bach. Stephen Wolfram Resonance is not enough Frame invariant boundaries Karl Friston’s Markov blanket Boundary is not a boundary at the physics level Active inference Free energy principle Phenomenal binding When you do have a boundary at the physics level it’s easier to generate a markov blanket We are topological buckets in the field of consciousness We are all One, but we do have a location Example: A computer simulation of a soap bubble which has active inference but doesn’t have a real boundary because it’s just transistors and memory caches At the topological boundary is different from consciousness as an algorithm Flow state becoming “one with the ball”/car Internal boundary morphs but it’s not a local binding resulting in a coherent gestalt Everything outside of your body is still you, but you don’t have access to it Analogy: Sponge has air bubbles We are the sponge but we think we are the air bubbles The bubbles are separate, but the sponge is connected ** Hypergraph wolfram Ruliad nodes is similar to binding A very very large hyper-edge evolving to the next step Roger Penrose microtubules and the quantum properties of water Orch OR The probability of a neuron to fire Condritic complications A new kind of physics: the measurement Collapse of the waveform is the moments of consciousness Moments of experience are moments of coherence (Deeper than Resonance) Decoherence is also an aspect of consciousness Multi sense realism.com Light water magnetism
