The AGI Creation (V)

The brain does not use consciousness to be able to do the first four processes. The brain has no idea as to what any of these neural patterns are and what they represent. They are just excited neurons being excited, or inhibited. If you dive down deeply into the neuron's molecular structures, you will find merely chemical interactions! Nothing to indicate consciousness!

After the brain verifies the sensory signals as real (matches with previous interactions), the next process is that the output becomes the input! How then does the brain "understands", "labels", and "gives meanings" to these seemingly, to the process, as unknown and random patterns? The brain automatically takes these outputs and uses them as inputs to self-create their meaning, understanding, labelling, and tagging of these patterns!

The outputs into inputs form a feedback loop, a self-creation process for this understanding, meaning, labelling, and tagging of these patterns! A neural pattern is created from a peripheral detector, the brain then verifies and matches this signal to other stored signals. And still, the brain has no idea as to what this neural pattern is! This unknown pattern is then used as an input to an on-going sensory peripheral detector! This sounds complicated, but it is quite simple!

For example, the neural pattern is a sound of a cat's meow. The brain can only "understand" what it is by another on-going sensory signal from a peripheral detector's pattern that "sees" the cat! A cat and its sound is connected, labelled, and is given this meaning!

Again, no "consciousness" is involved. A simple correlation of one sensory stream of patterns to another stream of patterns that are on-going! This then is the process in which patterns are connected to other patterns! Adding them together, one independent part to another independent part creates a more thorough understanding and meaning! Just take any word in a dictionary, and you will immediately discover all the parts that make up this one word that gives it "meaning".

The artificial human-like intelligent entity can mimic this same process. From the 3D mapping of the fruit fly's brain, this know-how will be deciphered and copied! Will this be "thinking"? Will this be "consciousness"? So far, all these 5 processes do not need any outside "consciousness" to create these neural results! This is all automatic! An on-going, continuing self-creation of knowledge, facts, meanings, and understanding!

Are you scared and terrified, yet? This will undoubtedly be our future! How many years will it be from the 3D mapping of the fruit fly's brain to having an autonomous human-like artificial intelligent entity? 5 years? More? Less? Is this why Google paid for the past two years all of this research? The company and the country that can create this artificial human-like intelligent entity will dominate the world and all the other companies!!!

Attention as the Sculptor of Reality: A Neurophilosophical Inquiry into Awareness, Culture, and Self-Transformation

The nature of attention determines the structure of our lived world. Attention is not a passive receptacle through which reality merely passes but an active force shaping how experience is constituted, knowledge is structured, and the self is constructed. Photo by Tara Winstead on Pexels.com In both Buddhist and Stoic traditions, attention occupies a central psychological and ethical role, one…

Soul and Existence: Exploring the Relationship Between Essence and Existence in Existentialism

The relationship between the soul and the existentialist principle of "existence comes before essence" revolves around different philosophical views about human nature, freedom, and identity.

Existentialism and "Existence Comes Before Essence":

This phrase, famously associated with Jean-Paul Sartre, asserts that human beings are not born with a predefined essence or purpose. Instead, they create their essence through their actions, choices, and experiences. In this view, human existence precedes any inherent nature or "soul" that dictates their purpose.

Sartre's philosophy emphasizes radical freedom and responsibility. Without a fixed essence, humans must define themselves through the choices they make, and this process is continuous throughout life. There is no inherent "blueprint" that dictates who a person is or should be.

The Concept of the Soul:

Traditionally, the soul is seen as the immaterial, eternal aspect of a person that defines their essence. In many religious and philosophical traditions (e.g., Platonism, Christianity), the soul is considered the core of a person's being, with pre-established qualities that define their true essence and purpose.

The soul often carries connotations of a divine or transcendent purpose, where human beings have a fixed essence given by God, nature, or metaphysical order. This essence, which is intrinsic to the soul, defines who the person is at a fundamental level.

Tension Between the Two Views:

The existentialist claim that "existence precedes essence" challenges the traditional view of the soul as embodying a person's preordained essence. For existentialists like Sartre, there is no predetermined nature or soul that guides human life; instead, humans must create meaning and identity for themselves through their actions.

If the soul represents a fixed essence, existentialism would deny its role in determining human nature or purpose. From this perspective, the idea of an immutable soul contradicts the notion of radical freedom, where individuals are responsible for creating their essence through lived experience.

Alternative Interpretations:

Some philosophical perspectives, like certain strands of process philosophy or Buddhism, allow for a more fluid understanding of the soul or self that is in line with existentialist thought. In these views, the "soul" or "self" is not fixed but is something dynamic, evolving through actions, experiences, and choices. This might align with the existentialist idea that essence is created through existence.

In contrast to traditional dualistic views, certain modern interpretations of the soul could be seen as the evolving sum of a person's lived experiences, echoing the existentialist emphasis on self-creation.

In summary, existentialism’s principle that "existence comes before essence" contrasts with traditional views of the soul as embodying a fixed, predetermined essence. While existentialism rejects the idea of a preordained nature or soul, emphasizing the freedom and responsibility of individuals to shape their own essence through existence, more fluid interpretations of the soul could align with this existentialist perspective.

Gateway of the Traveler

How can mankind see the perception Of their perception Between the common two worlds? With eyes that cannot see We seek And with ears that cannot hear Do we set our attention More-so with knowledge we rely Are we without knowledge Yet there it is before us Ever more Within a step Whereas within one of profit And within one of loss Is but a blink of an eye To the open eye of the soul As it is…

There's a version of the "don't go grocery shopping while hungry" rule specifically for writers where you should never under any circumstances be allowed to touch your draft within 3 hours of reading a really good story. Because sometimes when you read something great your head goes "fuck this is so much better than my stuff I should make that more like THIS instead!" Look at me. That's the devil talking and you should close the document NOW.
