OK, at least we seem to agree that there is only model, and no such a thing as reality that model stand for. We still disagree what "qualia" is....
Again, sounds like you are calling quantitative information qualia. We definitely have a problem of definition. Qualia as I understand it, from...
Missing experience aka qualia is what I was aiming for. There are reports from stroke victims, with damage to portion that encode the notion of...
Sounds like we now have a problem of definition. Wavelength is an information, not a qualitative sensation, that allows us to predict. A value...
I don't follow what you are getting at. It's still about predicting, not explaining, so are we in agreement that science is about predicting and...
I meant input signals. If you think the qualia is something that resides in input signals, there should be a way to test that hypothesis: remove...
Apart from a few inaccuracies, videos like this still make ME/CFS mysterious and hard to grasp because there are so many things that are seemingly...
Sounds like this is another area we disagree on. You seem to think the richness, aka qualia, is the result of the complexity of the input signal...
But that richness is not conveyed on the signal. It is invoked and internally generated. Same thing happens in computer. An input to a function...
I think this is where you and I disagree. Science is not there to explain or account for things, as if there is such a thing as things. It is...
How do you think the brain does it differently? It interrogates sensory input signals from, say photoreceptors, outputs recognition signals, say...
Modern AI is getting impressively powerful, imo. Some already sport over a trillion of parameters (connections), compared to human brain that have...
I haven't read his work, but that is probably true. Neurons are present only in animals with motor functions. But plants also utilize electricity,...
The "light" reference was more of pun to light going off in your head. In reality it's more like positive voltage, an analog output, when the...
I continue to be amazed how the evolution discovered electricity or invented neural network hundreds of millions of years before humans did. I...
I'll second that. You can chalk it up to human nature to think x caused y when they see y happening after x. But what they sometimes forget is...
The results from fecal microbiota transplant trials seem fairly dismal so far. But then, there could be ME/CFS-like fatigue conditions stemming...
I used to say that CFS should stand for chronic flu-like sickness, and PEM is really a post-exertional sickness. It certainly felt like an...
There it goes again, the fear of PEM as the cause of the fatigue without ever addressing PEM itself. It's as if they are saying PEM is not real....
I'm not sure how you mean. Everything is model -- model is how our brain understands its environment. There is no "something else"; the model is...
