Could you elaborate the difference? It seems very similar to me. You're saying that consciousness has to do with the bottoming-out of mental hierarchies in raw percepts that are unanalyzable by the mind ... and Peirce's Firsts are precisely raw percepts that are unanalyzable by the mind... *** The standard meaning of Hard Problem issues was described very well by Chalmers, and I am addressing the hard problem of concsciousness, not the other problems. *** Hmmm.... I don't really understand why you think your argument is a solution to the hard problem.... It seems like you explicitly acknowledge in your paper that it's *not*, actually.... It's more like a philosophical argument as to why the hard problem is unsolvable, IMO. ben g ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=120640061-aded06 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
