Strictly speaking there is an electron field and an electromagnetic field of which the electric component is probably all that is relevant for...
It is very simple. Consciousness is rich input. Silicon gates never have more than two input bits.
This is an interesting argument that has been going the rounds for at least a century. I think it obscures something important. A completely...
But if you think about it all those wavelengths are calibrated by people's qualia. Most of the time brains work very similarly so we can assume...
This is the old Dennett behaviourist chestnut. Einstein says it differently. Indeed, there are no things, just events you want to predict the...
There is no reason why complexity of a system should be needed to create a thought as far as I can see. I thought must be based on an event...
This is important but it needs to be fleshed out precisely. All physical events are partially indeterministic at the fundamental single dynamic...
Yes it is conveyed on the signals. The key point is that an individual neutron receives maybe 100 or 1000 signals all together as a pattern and...
It will, for sure, whether intended or not. Thinly thing that the plan could fund specifically is a hospital based physician run outpatient plus...
No, it was the Google definition and the one I am used to. It can occur after drug therapies or car crashes or burns or whatever. In fact it is a...
Hyperinflammation is usually used to imply cytokine storm with shock, intravascular coagulation, respiratory distress, renal failure etc. None...
Where was that? What is a 'hyperinflammatory state' supposed to be? Better to say nothing about inflammation and be honest that we need to find a...
The difference is that the integrator units respond to patterns of up to 100 maybe even a thousand inputs arriving in up to 50,000 input channels....
Energy is just one of several aspects that get traded in field interactions. Energy is a scalar and the information being passed can be complex...
Do we know anything about that? More complex organisms appear to be able to form representations based on more complex inferences - such as...
Right. Qualia do not help explain what is going on by adding something extra to the physics account. 'Matter' is probably not a very good term for...
A bit weird since all women use XIST to silence one of their X chromosomes.
Which of course is in physics terms a completely meaningless or unexplained account of things. We need physics to account for tastes and colours....
There is nothing in a computer that recognises a pattern.There cannot be because there are no places where patterns are presented or made...
I agree this is where Levin goes off beam. Although if 'intelligence' means ability to respond appropriately to a wide range of stimuli then that...
Separate names with a comma.
