  • On Consciousness with Giulio Tononi, Max Tegmark and David Chalmers

This session explores the nature of consciousness, including efforts to define and measure it. What systems have subjective experience? What do we mean when we refer to various types of consciousness? How simple, and how sophisticated, can consciousness in principle be? Can we define necessary conditions for a physical system to be conscious? Sufficient conditions?

A very interesting discussion, I have thought a lot about this consciousness and learn several papers . The ideas of Hameroff and Penrose too are relevant and this objective orchestrated reductions. The ideas of Max Tegmark also are very interesting and this hypothesis of states of matters with the arranged atoms permitting the informations and rising subjectivity if I can say and so the consciousness. In my model of course I don t affirm it, there are deeper fields from this DE and DM and they are intriguing, I told me that if they exist at this cosmological scale, so probably for our quantum mechanic also but we cannot actually simply measure and find them, they are maybe hidden behind this relativity that we observe. A thing maybe important also is to differenciate this intelligence with this consciousness and so the computing that we utilise actually is limited also to reach this consciousness, Max Tegmark also tells that this consciousness is a mathematical pattern, I agree but our actual mathematical patterns also are limited, if this consciousness is a mathematical pattern and a state of consciousness, so the aim is to find and reach these limits and so these probable deeper fields and particles to add to our actual model in trying several partitions and extrapolations. The philosophy also can be an interesting point of analysis and implies so different possibilities and extrapolations, we try the partitions , the gamuts in a sense to try to reach this universal music of consciousness.
