Conscious Thought & Perception


  • Some degree of interpretation is required to allow consciousness, since access of memory data of the interpretation of the concepts involved with the particular memory data which is being accessed simultaneously, is what causes the in depth sense of consciousness. But the simplest and most basic form of consciousness can be generalised to: accessing memory data of a factor, simultaneously to accessing memory data of the outcome of the interaction of that factor with another factor. This would be a basic form of interpretation and concept (memory that 1 factor combined with another has a result).

  • So, if a computer is given an elaborate, significant, and accurate labelling system of all data which is downloaded to it, this will allow the potential to save memory data of concepts which make up the data, including cause and effect of the interaction of different factors within the data. If the computer is enabled to simultaneously and continuously access memory data, then it should be able to access memory data of the concept (involving cause and effect, or effective reaction of interaction between the particular factor and other factors, within the data), and memory data of the particular factor itself, simultaneously, causing the perception of consciousness. 

  • “Conscious thought” (regarded as different from conscious perception) requires circulation of memory access and a triggering mechanism, to actively access new memory data, which in some way resembles the previously accessed memory. Conscious thought is a circuit of conscious perceptions. In order to access new memory data in the process of conscious thought, conscious perception of one factor leads to another factor (since, in conscious perception, the memory data of the outcome of the interaction of 2 factors is accessed). This is the link enabling 1 memory to lead to another, in conscious thought. 

  • The ability to access multiple memories simultaneously, as well as the ability for 1 memory to trigger another memory (memory circulation), is what allows conscious perception (memory of the outcome of interaction between 2 factors). 

  • With this circulation of, memory access of 1 factor triggering simultaneous memory access of another factor of resemblance, someone is able to access sequential memories with “conscious thought”, and furthermore they are able to comprehend reaction of factors with “conscious perception”.

  • Whichever factors within memory are being accessed, dictates what the mind is consciously perceptive of. 
  • A memory system can have conscious perception of something as basic as 1 + 2 = 3. 
  • The system accesses memories of data labelled as 1, 2, 3 [Factors 1,2,3], 
  • simultaneously to memories of the outcome [Interaction]

  • The “Interaction” can be generalised into a concept, allowing variables of those factors to be used. Once a generalised concept is saved, it can be used with any variance of factors. 
  • In order to generalise the “interaction”, the concept of the effect of each factor, on the outcome, needs to be saved as memory.  

  • In this eg. the generalised concept which applies to the “Interaction”, would be addition (ie. adding another of an object increases the total by that amount). The concept of addition can be extracted from the concept of the effect of 1, on the outcome of 3. The concept of the effect of 1, would be that X (any variable) +1 causes an outcome of the 2nd factor increased by 1. Once this concept is extracted, any factor can replace the 2 in the eg, and the outcome can be determined. 

  • A more complex eg. of Conscious Perception, using a generalised concept to determine the outcome, would be conscious perception of a rocks existence. 
  • The memory system (mind in this case) accesses memory data (recorded via visual sense) labelled “rock” [Factor 1], 
  • simultaneously to accessing memory data of the concept of existence [Factor 2] (ie. concept in itself of relative physical presence, rather than not), 
  • and memory of the generalised concept of interaction [Interaction]. (ie. outcome of an object (X variable) + existence, causes an outcome of the objects existence), to allow an outcome of the rocks existence [Factor 3] to be consciously perceived.

  • For conscious perception of the outcome of self awareness, replace the rock with the individual themselves, who is accessing the memories.
  • So it would seem, conscious perception can be applied to virtually any scenario, only requiring memory access to the data involved in that scenario. This conscious perception is a fundamental piece of the framework allowing circulation and flow of memories by means of conscious thought.
