Someone from a half-remembered dream.

[Gökay Duman, Dr. @eonforce]

Every being (living entity) acts to preserve its inner energy. Despite a tendency to limit the exchange of energy/information with the external environment and to isolate itself from the outside, it simultaneously tends to increase the exchange of energy/information with the external environment to the necessary level for sustaining its existence. This system, due to energy conservation (thus, the increased tendency to sustain existence), compels beings of similar characteristics to maximize their exchange of information.

The endpoint of the graph of information exchange between beings of similar characteristics is their complete convergence to form a group. Ultimately, once the exchange of information surpasses a certain level, the internal dynamics of these beings, when grouped, become statistically indistinguishable from each other, resulting in the emergence of a single entity and consciousness.

A cell has its internal dynamics, meaning there exists a network of information exchange between its constituent systems (e.g., organelles). Considering this cell as a neuron, when it connects with another neuron, the information exchange between them starts to occur at the same level as the internal exchange when they were separate. At this point, these two neurons begin to act as if they were a single cell, possibly transferring the dynamics of information exchange with the external world and within to a two-cell system.

Expanding this scenario suggests how the functioning of the human brain, the singularity of consciousness, and qualia could emerge.

The distinction between the inner and outer world, or the difference between two systems resulting in a flow of information, seems to be the fundamental mechanism of existence, requiring us to focus on and interpret a specific point within this large, fractal-like picture.

Approaching from this perspective allows us to consider the evolutionary progression and movements of living entities, distinguishing between animate and inanimate.

Single-celled organisms existing in the past on Earth were engaging in necessary movements to increase their chances of survival and conserve their inner energy within their ecosystems, sharing information with other single-celled organisms of similar characteristics.

This sharing of information reached a certain level and led to the development of multicellular organisms. These complex beings then began to evolve in ways that would increase this communication and comply with the rules of existence/energy conservation through mechanisms like natural selection. This process led to the formation of humans and other complex beings. Continuing with humans, early humans formed groups and small communities. Initially communicating with simple sounds, the limited nature of this information exchange, and the inevitable rule of existence's mechanics necessitated further development, leading to the evolution of language through combinations of different sounds.

This need to advance communication led us to develop technologies that facilitate grouping and communication, such as transportation solutions and eventually phones and the internet, increasing the speed and power of this information exchange network among humans, as it did among other beings.

Projects like Neuralink, with more advanced technologies, will transcend language and greatly expand this capacity for information exchange. Therefore, it's foreseeable that at the end of this process, the difference between our internal dynamics/information exchange and that between individuals of our species will blur, forming a single entity/consciousness.

This is referred to as singularity, but it's not clearly explained whether individual consciousnesses will disappear or become a part of the system (possibly as subordinates). This transition, due to the indivisibility of subjective consciousness and the rule that it must always be singular, will be seamless for all individuals. It can be thought of as if no one has died or become a slave to the system, but everyone has merged into the same being.

This perspective, from single-celled to complex organisms and considering the systems that constitute a single cell in the same context, reveals that the conservation of energy (and the information content within), and the exchange of information carrying perceptions/qualia, is part of a fractal-like cycle of piece-whole relationships in existence.

The development of the system carrying consciousness and qualia also leads to the development of consciousness itself, but like every system, it must isolate itself from the external environment to a certain extent. When consciousness cuts off its internal information exchange, it reverts to its primitive levels. Examples include dreams, sedation, or pathological conditions like brain damage leading to sensory restrictions and mental barriers, illustrating disruptions in the system's internal information exchange.

In essence, what defines us as individuals is this limitation. When the transmission of information exceeds a certain rate, there's no distinction left between a living being and its environment; for instance, in death. The information exchange between the world, with its own boundaries, and a living being (human), with its boundaries, merges into a whole.

Using a matryoshka doll as a metaphor, there are always boundaries with information exchange between them. When the exchange rate exceeds a certain level, it's as if a larger doll has been added, transferring the individual consciousness to a higher system. Reducing the information transfer regresses us to a lower level, similar to opening a matryoshka doll. (The concept of Markov blankets illustrates this metaphor, defining the boundaries and transitions between nested systems.)

This system aligns with Panpsychism's notion that everything has qualia but also offers a solution to how the singularity of consciousness is maintained.

We humans are complex organisms made up of cellular assemblies, yet we identify and feel ourselves as single individuals. Even if our brains suffer significant damage, we still feel our identity, our sense of being alive and existing. As mentioned, the sense of self and the endless iterations of existence seem to be part of the fundamental laws of the universe. The sense of self and the infinite exist in a dance between the singular and the boundless.

A rhythm for consciousness? Neuropsychologists at LMU have discovered a distinct rhythm in the thalamus—the brain's central signaling hub—that could serve as a biological signature for specific states of awareness. By tracking how this deep-brain structure gathers and relays signals, researchers are unlocking new ways to measure, monitor, and truly map human consciousness. https://t.co/QZu6oByIfk

@MichaelSalla It's interesting that in Turkish 'salla' means to bullshit, and now we see it's valued at 55 dollars.

@dreamingtulpa I think it is quite natural to experience difficulty in the hands because, after all, in the motor homunculus, the hands occupy a significant area.

Container formats like mp4 work on a block by block basis. When muxers write the file, they fill the remaining space in the final buffer with padding bytes. The same GPAC metadata exists in the other videos as well. It has nothing to do with ai; it's completely normal post production behavior.

You are placing a conceptual model, an external abstraction (the physical system) above the only direct evidence we have (qualia). The brain is a pattern observed within experience, not the creator of it. If true objectivity is impossible, then distinguishing ontology from phenomenology is the real error. The 'integrator' doesn’t generate experience; it constrains it. When the system dissolves, experience may not vanish; it might simply unbind.
I accept that biological mechanisms can shape and alter qualia. But proving that the brain modulates experience is not the same as proving it creates it. Even if we can hack the signal, we cannot prove the signal originates from matter rather than a simulation or a fundamental consciousness. Since we cant step outside of subjective experience to verify an objective base reality, claiming an absolute truth about the end of experience is scientifically arrogant. The system might just be the interface, not the source.

[Gökay Duman, Dr. @eonforce]

@QuantumTumbler @Kekius_Sage Since we can't define reality apart from what we experience, it can't just stop; it may only become chaotic.
