The math of emergence of mind/agency involves fractals.
The physics of emergence of mind/agency involves phase transitions.
The chemistry of emergence of mind/agency involves interactions.
The biology of emergence of mind/agency involves organization.
Brahman/Atman i.e. Unmanifest (universal/individualized underlying energy field) is analogous to topology. Even if the shape changes, properties are conserved.
Mind/Agency (energy which manifests itself via interactions of vibrations leading to phase transitions) is analogous to Geometry . Properties such as size, shape, angles, dimensions which are not conserved on changing.
Unmanifest Brahman/Atman---->Phase Transition----> Manifest/Agency/Mind (Metaphysics)-Emergence of Agency in "organization" of products of interacting phase transitions. As ' organization dissolves ' Manifest becomes Unmanifest.
Topological properties----> Phase Transition----> Geometric properties (Physics/Mathematics)
The Relation between Encryption/Stimulus to Decryption/Subjective Experience.
If plasticity resides in the brain then one type of encryption/stimulus can result in many types of decoding/subjective experience by the brain. In this context the brain acts as a decoder/interpreter.
Thus, your subjective experience of interpreting a book will be "different" from my subjective experience of interpreting the sentences in a book. This interpretation will be partly dependent on my priors/preconceived notions as opposed to another human beings'.
Can the human race avoid heat death of the Universe by becoming an interplanetary civilization and sculpting the galactic atmosphere ?
My experience is that I observe my thoughts.
What is this I ? According to Advaita/Non-dual psychology
the I, is the constant “Self”, from
infancy to adulthood, throughout life. Our thoughts keep changing through lived
experience, but the I,the Self, witnessing the thoughts is a constant through
lived experience.
If , the cells of a human body are constantly being replenished throughout life,
then how is I, the Self a constant ?
The conclusion of
seers through meditation ( cessation of thought vibrations/concentration and focusing
of outgoing thoughts inwards away from sensory input)is that: This I/Self is Awareness or Pure Consciousness, that permeates the entire universe, hence each
living being. This awareness is realized, in human beings ,when thought
vibrations cease.
There has to be ' something ' non-changing/non-malleable in the human brain for the constant witnessing self/I to function and express itself.
I hypothesize that this universal awareness (Brahman- in Advaita terminology) or proto-consciousness , as I would like to call it, is a universal energy field in 1-dimension(D), which I would like to denote as depth/microcosm. When vibrations or perturbations occur in this field 2D waves arise, which I define as Atman/individual Self/witnessing I of each living being. Interactions of 2D vibrations , gives rise to more complex vibratiory patterns in 3D space , which I would call the underlying mind and subsequent more complex patterns of vibratory energy i.e. matter in 4D spacetime. The mechanism of increased complexity is through subsequent condensation of vibratory energy into matter via phase transitions. The brain is a physical object in 4D space time. The mind that biologists talk of today, I refer to as the emergent mind from the brain activity in 4D spacetime, which I call as the surface or macrocosm.
Previously,I proposed based on the above, that when Artificial Intelligence (AI), becomes “sufficiently complex” it will manifest the properties of the living human body , since Brahman/Universal Awareness/Consciousness is all pervasive. However , I am re-thinking taking the human microbiome (the trillions of microbes that colonize the human body) into context. I am not sure anymore.
