Re: [agi] Simulation
>How does ANY brain acting as a pattern reservoir get filled? No one fills/ places/ forces/ feeds/ writes information directly into a brain, the brain is presented with external patterns that represent information/ learning by other brains that triggers a similar scenario in the receiver’s brain. It’s the singular closed intelligence of the learning brain that makes sense of the information and creates its own internalised version for its own usage based on its own knowledge and experiences. When you talk to someone you are not imparting any kind of information, language is a common protocol designed to trigger the same/ similar mental model in the receiver, but it’s the receiver’s version of reality that comprises the information, not the senders. Take this post as an example; I’m trying to explain a concept in a manner that will enable your personal closed internal simulation of reality to recognise/ simulate the same/ similar concept, but you will be using your own knowledge and intelligence to grasp it… not mine. > Uhm... a "closed system" that views. Not closed then? Does any of the actual visual information you gather from viewing ever leave your closed system?

That's a very good clear single brain description of it. Thanks for that. I don't think a complete understanding of consciousness is possible from a single brain. Picture this - the rise of general intelligence in the human species and that collection of brains spread over time and space communicating. Each brain being a node in a graph. The consciousness piece is a component in each brain transceiver transmitting on graph edges to other brains and other non-brain environment related structure. On this model naturally there is much superfluous material that can be eliminated compared to a single brain model since a single brain has to survive independently in the real environment. And the graph model can be telescoped down into a single structure I believe. To be more concise, consciousness can be viewed as a functional component in the brain’s transceiver. That’s essentially the main crux of my perspective. Could it be wrong? Oh ya totally… But that functionality, whether or not in consciousness itself is still integral to general intelligence IMO. And there are other related reasons… It would be interesting analyzing single brain consciousness connectome structure based on the multi-brain intelligence model, why things happen as they do in their electrochemical patterns firing up the single brain model and getting it transceiving with other emulations.

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.

Re: [agi] Simulation
All four are partially correct. It is a simulation. And you're it. When you die your own private Idaho ends *poof*. This can all be modeled within the framework of conscioIntelligence, CI = UCP + OR. When you are that tabula rasa simuloid in your mother's womb you begin to occupy a representation of the world. Since there is little structure yet the communication protocol is simple. After you are born that occupation expands and protocols are built up. Structure is shared amongst other simulators. Symbol negentropy is maintained and you could also say a memetic pressure exists among those agents. Communication, particularly, is done through your eyes, ears, mouth, etc.. When you chow down on that big cheese burrito what are you doing? You are occupying a representation of the glorious nature of it all 😊 And, the universe observes itself though your senses, or occupies a representation of itself by observing through everyone’s senses… informational structure gets instantiated, transmitted amongst people nodes. Whether or not a big alien is running it all is another topic, intelligent design? deity? Those topics used to be taboo like UFO’s even though we have public military footage of UFO's now.

Re: [agi] Simulation
Hi Tim I'm enjoying your website. Thanks for sharing.

However, there's a problem with that argument - which is that the four cases are not mutually exclusive. 3 and 4 include 1 and 2 as possibilities. If you try and fix that problem by defining 3 or 4 so that they exclude 1 and 2, then the argument about 3 and 4 being favored by Occam's razor (if that is still a thing in the enclosing world) no longer holds - because they are no longer simpler options. If this argument about Occam's razor did hold, I think simulism would be a bit of a less interesting possibility. However, it isn't a valid argument. -- __ |im |yler http://timtyler.org/ -- Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Taa86c5612b8739b7-Mfce9d65a1731d6faaa6b27b1 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
