Close... though more... networks within networks... Consciousness seems so elusive because it is not an ‘intended’ product of the connectome directly recognising sensory patterns, consciousness is an extra layer. The interacting synaptic networks produce harmonics because each is using a specific frequency to communicate with its logical/ connected neighbours. The harmonics/ interference patterns travel through the synaptic network just like normal internal/ sensory patterns. Consciousness uses the same internal/ external networks that are the product of learning through external experiences but… it’s disconnected/ out of phase from the normal deep pattern recognition processes… it’s an interference bi-product that piggy-backs/ influences the global thought pattern. It’s similar to hypnotism or deep meditation…cortical regions learn the harmonics… our sub-conscious is just out of phase, or to be more precise, our consciousness is out of phase with the ‘logical’ intelligence of our connectome. Our consciousness is like… just the surface froth, reading between the lines, or the summation of interacting logical pattern recognition processes. Consciousness is just the sound of all the gears grinding. https://www.youtube.com/user/korrelan :) ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Taa86c5612b8739b7-M5717525ccecbe5e67a353269 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
