Determinisation of Consciousness

Could someone’s conscious decisions be calculated?

If conscious thought is determined by subconscious thought combined with instinct, and subconscious thought is also determined by instinct, as well as previous conscious thought, then some of the variables required to calculate a conscious thought, would be instinct + previous subconscious + previous conscious thought.

So how can instinct + all previous thoughts + memories be valuated in order to make the calculation?

If the effects of thought on the brain were known, then those effects should be hypothetically measurable, in order to evaluate what all previous thoughts were. Assuming thoughts are memories (linked with feedback), that would mean the effects of thoughts, would be; altered memory storage in the brain. Any thought, whether subconscious or conscious, would access memories, and have an effect of altering memory storage.

Theoretically, if the brain saves combinations and sub-sets of memories, by method of altering synapses between neurons, this would cause the connection between neurons (which contain the data of a memory) to be used in the future, for that sub-set. To link 1 memory to another, the synapses between the 2 memories would just need to be altered so that it will be used in the future. This would cause electrons to automatically make the connection to the joined memory, any time 1 or the other is accessed. So, every time any memory is accessed, all the synapses between every neuron which is involved in saving information for that memory, would be physically altered.

If this is the physical effect on the brain, from accessing memories, then in order to measure a brains most recent thoughts, the synapses would have to be measured, along with all the information which is saved in every neuron which will be used. Perhaps, the neuron information would not be absolutely required to calculate the brains next neurons to be accessed, if there will be no new sensory input to the brain (which would stimulate specific memories relative to the information which is saved in the neurons). Without any new sensory input to have an effect on which memories will be accessed next, the synapses may determine the next memory, based on the degree that they are set to be used. But, then only the neurons to be accessed next, would be predictable, which is not very useful without the information (and memories) that those neurons hold.

Still, more must be known in order to calculate upcoming conscious activity. Besides the state of all the synapses, the data of the neurons, and all affecting sensory input, the levels of emotion would have to be know, to consider their influencing affect. All these factors of the person whose consciousness is in question, would have to be measured to the degree of accuracy, that the results of calculation will be.

As complicated as it would be, with the formula for the interaction between all these factors, theoretically the conscious activity could be calculated and determinable.
