@webmasterdave@sbkaufman This would be like there is a long history of consciousness long before it effects anything or changes anything and its sitting in this kind of acausal position.
@webmasterdave@sbkaufman What does it mean for things to have consciousness but do nothing to show that they have it and nothing to act like they have it and it doesn't effect anything any of the motions or actions of the thing.
@webmasterdave@sbkaufman This is why I tend to say awareness though it is not that great either. But technically it seems we need a selfless state that arises before the self. An fundamentally the nature is more like this selfless state fundamentally then it is a state of the self.
@webmasterdave@sbkaufman So when you or anyone says that consciousness is fundamental and somehow is kind of privileged to the fundamental nature of reality. For many people it is whole involved in their delusions and ignorance and leads to death or injury.
@webmasterdave@PhysInHistory But regular information theory though is already based on a bit of uncertainty becoming a bit of in formation. It’s already important that Shannon entropy decrease.
@webmasterdave@PhysInHistory This is basically why I was trying to make a thing that burns entanglement so it burns up negative entropy. Mostly for fun and it’s just interesting.
@webmasterdave@PhysInHistory Everything bottoms out in about the same place and it always leaves actual consciousness unexplained in a little pocket or defect, or topology of some kind. You can almost explain how everything works exactly and it gets you no closer to the explanation.
@webmasterdave@PhysInHistory I agree well this is just a quantum reality stretched out. I do think we are in an overall pure state with a bunch of mixed states inside.
