A set of notes on the look-alike of the contents of the mind

Is the mind the same as the body? What is consciousness? Can machines have it?

A set of notes on the look-alike of the contents of the mind

Post by The Voice of Time »

I have a habit for getting ideas, then posting them to my facebook before writing them down in my journals. I'd like to share a set of notes that came to my mind just now a few minutes ago:

1)
Ideas as containing three main ingredients: content, effect and locking. Content is the system for which directions of "from where" comes from, effect is the system for which directions of "to where" comes from, locking is the system ensuring the workings of the content and effect, specifically a part of both content and effect ensuring the solidity of the idea.
2)
Ideas subject the world around them through "cultivation", or a predefined transformation and adaptation towards the ideas' ideal.
3)
Ideas in their cultivation can also target themselves leading to spiralling evolution/change of an idea.
4)
At the most extreme this spiralling runs out of control and collapses into a new idea.
5)
An idea at its most fundamental is nothing but a complex mathematical set of instructions for the re-arrangement of the world from a given coordinate direction to another given coordinate direction.

it is Kantian...

millenia of epistemology aside...
