What is the definition of “I”? -- “I” is the software which runs on neural-network-HW

Hello, Dancing David, please answer the same three questions which were given to barehl:

=======================
Question for the Dancing David #1:
Dancing David, please provide us the exact list of exact criteria (the list of exact features) which would allow unambiguously determine if object X has consciousness.
Just feel free to choose all the needed characteristics of object X (size, weight, color, smell, or whatever you might need) and when the list is complete, then show this list to us.
And we will put to the test your list of characteristics, we will test your list on real world examples to see if it works or not.
When a man uses a term/word which he is unable to define then it is quite obvious that such man does not understand himself what he is talking about, it is obvious that his speech is meaningless by definition, isn’t it?

Question for the Dancing David #2:
the consciousness is a 1) divisible object, or 2) indivisible object?
The feature divisibility/indivisibility is the most fundamental feature of the object, because it instantaneously reveals the fundamental flaws in the definition of the object.
So, what is your answer: the consciousness is a 1) divisible object, or 2) indivisible object?
Also please provide experimental proofs which would support your claim about “divisibility/indivisibility of consciousness”.

Question for the Dancing David #3:
Dancing David, please provide at least one evidence that Dancing David has “consciousness”.

=======================


Similar task for other readers who are adepts of Sigmund Freud's theory of psychoanalysis.
In the three questions above (about “consciousness”) please replace the word “consciousness” with the word: 1) “id”, 2) “ego”, and 3) “super-ego”,
and then answer these questions.
Hi,
I sure will when I can read your posts, please get rid of the pale brown font.

I use medical/neurological definition of consciousness.
I believe that it is a rubric for separate events.
I meet most the the medical/neurology criteria for at least part of teh day by exhibiting those behaviors.
 
In order to understand Neurocluster Brain Model you need to have very strong comprehension about the definition of “intelligent agent”.

[...]

While the topic of “which objects are capable of abstraction” might be interesting from the theoretical point of view, however this topic is irrelevant to helping to understand Neurocluster Brain Model, so it is not worth to dwell into that.

I don't really care about your definition of "intelligent agent" right now. I was specifically interested in you providing support for your claim that the tendency of one object to exhibit two classes of reactions to other objects was abstraction by definition. That's what you claimed, in effect, when you made the following arguments (with my formatting for emphasis):

We will remind that all organisms are able to distinguish “food” from “non-food”.
However “food” and “non-food” are abstract objects.
And that means that all organisms have abstraction capabilities.

Organisms initiate different activity towards “food” and “non-food” objects which proves that organisms have the ability to classify the surrounding objects into the classes of “food” and “non-food”, which means that by definition the organisms have abstraction capabilities.

As a few of us mentioned (with counterexamples), those arguments are invalid. However, if you don't intend to provide better arguments, then indeed it is not worth dwelling on.

Another experimental proof is experiments of “spiritualistic séances” using thread with the attached needle method as described in previous posts. After you will succeed in invoking the “spirit” simply ask him “do you have your own awareness/consciousness/soul/spirit/etc?” and then wait for the answer from that “spirit”.
Again, let’s raise a simple question: who is the best expert to decide whether the “spirit” has “awareness/consciousness” or not?
The answer is obvious: the best expert in this question is the “spirit” himself.
So your job is very simple – just ask the “spirit” himself whether he has “awareness/consciousness” or not.

I see a few problems. For one, you might not succeed in the invocation.
For another; should you get this facet of your imagination (or cluster flock) on the line, how do you confirm it?
How do you distinguish one cluster imagining some scene, from two clusters having a conversation?


Donn asked good valid question “how do you distinguish one cluster imagining some scene, from two clusters having a conversation?

We will explain the criteria which allow to distinguish: 1) imagining some scene from 2) from two clusters having a conversation.
The criteria are very simple.

During imagining process the main personality has full total control over the objects which are being imagined. As for example, you are imagining a cat and you want this cat to climb into the tree and the same exact moment the cat immediate executes your orders and climbs into the tree, then you want this cat jump off the tree and the same exact moment the cat immediate executes your orders and jumps off the tree, and so on, in other words you have full total control over the object being imagined. The objects which are being imaged are generated by neuroclusters which contain model/representation of that object, however during imagining process these neuroclusters obey all commands of the main personality. As for example, you are imagining man X and you want that this man X would say “hello” to you and the same exact moment he says “hello”. Every moment, every action of imagined object is under the total control of the main personality - that’s how imagination works.

However under special conditions the main personality might lose the ability to control these neuroclusters which represent the models of objects, and these objects begin to act as autonomous entities/agents. As for example, in your “vision” you see the cat and you want this cat to climb into the tree however the cat totally disobeys your orders. As for example, in your “vision” you see man X and you want that this man X would say “hello” to you, however he totally disobeys your orders and does something what he himself wants to do (for example jumps, runs or whatever else). You have no control over him, he does whatever he wants himself. He acts as independent autonomous agent/entity. When the main personality is unable to control the behavior of neurocluster – that is the situation when “two clusters having a conversation. Such scenario happens naturally during dreaming, however special techniques (like for example “spiritualistic séances” using thread with the attached needle method) enable the manifestation of the autonomous neurocluster’s activity during the awakening state.

When communication link is established with the “spirit” (which actually is autonomous neurocluster) the main personality can have meaningful conversation with that autonomous neurocluster. The main personality can ask questions and get the answers which contain the information previously unknown for the main personality – as for example, you have lost your keys and you were unable to find the keys despite you were desperately searching for them over the month, the “spirit” might provide the information where the lost keys are located, you go to check and find the keys – the information from “spirit” is verified as truthful (the underlying mechanism of that was described in previous posts). This “spirit” (==autonomous neurocluster) acts as autonomous entity/agent.


I see a few problems. For one, you might not succeed in the invocation.


Experimental statistical data shows that “thread with the attached needle method” works on pretty high percentage of common people, the success rate might be as high as 80 percent.
If you personally will fail in “spirit invocation” then this is not a problem – just try “thread with the attached needle method” on your friends, acquaintances, family members, etc and you will surely find people who will succeed in “spirit invocation”.
Of course, it is much more impressive when “spirit invocation” succeeds for you personally, because in this case you are able to distinguish with 100% certainty which ideas/thoughts/sentences are coming from “your own mind” and which ideas/thoughts/sentences are “not yours for sure”.
When somebody else (not you) is communicating with the “invoked spirit” then it is less impressive, because you may think “oh well, he is just trying to hoax me”.

As we wrote in previous post, it is very easy to predict in advance the “mediumship” successfulness ratio for the men who have never done “spiritualistic séance” before.
All you need to do is ask that man a simple question: “Do you have high intuition level or not? Please evaluate your own intuition level using the rating scale ranging from 0 to 10”.
A man might not understand what you are asking him, so in that case you need to rephrase the question like this “How often do you have insights/revelations when a solution to some problem comes “out of nowhere” when you have not been thinking about this problem, and solution came itself “out of nowhere”? How often do you have such cases?”
Just search for the people who have “high intuition level”, especially search for the ones who are bragging themselves that they have “very high intuition level”.
Experimental data has confirmed that the higher the self-assigned score of “intuition level” – the higher the probability to succeed in “invoking spirits” during “spiritualistic séance”.
However important warning here – these experiments have undesirable side-effect – after prolonged repeatable experimentation with “spiritualistic séances” you have high risk to induce sleepwalking/MPD incidents for the “medium”, during which the “medium” will be moving/breaking/etc various things in his own house, and when after awakening he finds things broken and scattered around his house, he becomes scared and strongly convinced that “evil spirits have possessed his house” – in more advanced cases this leads to the lunatic asylum.
 
The basic idea behind Minsky's Society of the Mind, which I gather has been thinly disguised and repackaged as much of ncb's manifesto. In short: the mind is made of little minds, competing for to own 'im. Those minds are made of lesser minds, one which recalled this poem.

Yes, this seems to be what Dennett has promoted as competing neural groups. He used the phrase "fame in the brain" to describe the group that was momentarily dominant. I personally dropped the idea of competing clusters awhile ago since I couldn't figure out how it would be consistent with a stable personality.

I don't know Dennett's hypothesis (although I assure you that anyone who claims to have a general theory of how the brain works is pulling it straight from their backsides), but there is a certain amount of competition in the brain. Any cortical area will have a number of possible neural firing patterns, formed by positive interconnections within a pattern and inhibition to the others. Only one pattern can be "on top" at any given moment, which is thought to more or less correspond to what that patch of brain is thinking about. This behaviour gives rise to those optical illusions which operate on competing, exclusive interpretations, such as the rabbit-duck illusion.

The mistake people tend to make is reading about this and assuming that it must be turtles all the way down.
 
During imagining process the main personality has full total control over the objects which are being imagined.

I'll stop you here and ask for evidence of this assertion.


That was not the “assertion”, that was specifying definition of the term.
Donn names all phenomena as “imagination”.
We say that in order to understand Neurocluster Brain Model, more detailed comprehension about the working underlying mechanisms of “imagination” is needed, more detailed subtyping of “imagination” is needed, there are different types of “imagination”:
1) there is a type of “imagination” in which the main personality has the control over the objects being “imagined” – this type of “imagination” is not interesting for detailed investigation, because the manifestation of autonomous activity of neuroclusters is suppressed and weakly expressed;
2) there is a type of “imagination” in which the main personality has no control over the objects being “imagined” – this type of “imagination” have multiple names (like “hallucination/dream/spiritualistic séance/etc”), in this type of “imagination” autonomous activity of neuroclusters is strongly expressed and Neurocluster Brain Model is able to explain the underlying mechanisms of such phenomena.
 
I assure you that anyone who claims to have a general theory of how the brain works is pulling it straight from their backsides
My cognitive theory isn't finished yet so I guess I'll have to pull harder.

Only one pattern can be "on top" at any given moment, which is thought to more or less correspond to what that patch of brain is thinking about.
What you are describing is not actually thinking.

The mistake people tend to make is reading about this and assuming that it must be turtles all the way down.
Right, Harris made that mistake when he talked about deciding to decide.
 
That was not the “assertion”, that was specifying definition of the term.
Specifying a definition by assertion. I don't see how you can know that "During imagining process the main personality has full total control over the objects which are being imagined."

In my own experience, I have little control over my imagination. I can't do the things you so glibly describe.

Donn names all phenomena as “imagination”.
Are you asking me or telling me?
 
Yes, this seems to be what Dennett has promoted as competing neural groups. He used the phrase "fame in the brain" to describe the group that was momentarily dominant. I personally dropped the idea of competing clusters awhile ago since I couldn't figure out how it would be consistent with a stable personality.

I think the key is in the use of language, the whole dang brain reverberates, some reverberations damp and others accentuate.

So to refer to 'clusters' 'competing' is misleading, some systems attenuate each other, some potentiate each other, it is that way by design. The whole dang thing is plastic and seems to be self 'programing' to a large extent.

Competition is a misleading word, and then 'clusters' implies discrete entities, given the connections a single neuron has, the plasticity of areas in processes and architecture 'cluster' is also misleading.

Damn shame all that has nothing to do with how the brain actually works though. Minsky always was a bit of a navelgazer.

It does not matter what do you think or what do you believe. All this talking is just a pure philosophical-theoretical blabber backed up with no experimental data whatsoever.

Let’s clean this mess and let's make things scientific.

Step #1: Scientific model/theory must be able to make predictions – do you agree with that or not?

Step #2: The predictions of the scientific model/theory must be testable by reproducible experiments – do you agree with that or not?

Step #3: Neurocluster Brain Model is able to make predictions which can be tested by reproducible experiments – so just go and do these experiments instead of your philosophical-theoretical blabber.

Step #4: Neurocluster Brain Model predicts that: after prolonged repeatable experimentation with “spiritualistic séances” you have high risk to induce sleepwalking/MPD incidents for the “medium”, during which the “medium” will be moving/breaking/etc various things in his own house, and when after awakening he finds things broken and scattered around his house, he becomes scared and strongly convinced that “evil spirits have possessed his house” – in more advanced cases this leads to the lunatic asylum.

Step # 5: Just go and carry out “spiritualistic séances” using “thread with the attached needle method” for prolonged periods of time as described in previous posts. Please note that it is important to use thread with the attached needle, do not use planchette/cup/glass/saucer (or some other heavy object) as shown in Hollywood movies. This setup (thread with the attached needle) will allow the manifestation of microscopic muscular contractions of the hand controlled by autonomous neurocluster inside the brain of the medium – with this experimental setup you can carry as many reproducible experiments as you wish. Using planchette/cup/glass/saucer will not work for average statistical man. Using planchette/cup/glass/saucer might work for people who are already in the lunatic asylum, but that’s another story. Average statistical man must use thread with the attached needle in order to succeed in “invoking spirit”.

Step # 6: Check out the results – check out if the “medium” has began having sleepwalking/MPD incidents which were not present before the experiment. The easiest and most reliable way to detect sleepwalking/MPD incidents is to use 24/7 video recording. If video recording is not available then sleepwalking/MPD incidents can be diagnosed using simple basic set of questions (however this method is less reliable than video recording).

=======================
Usually a man is completely unaware that he has multiple personality disorder (MPD), however it can be diagnosed with simple basic set of questions.
Diagnostic criteria for multiple personality disorder are the following:
1) Missing time and gaps in the memory.
Are there any episodes of “missing time” in your life? Are there any gaps in your memory? As for example, maybe you do not remember what you were doing yesterday from 3:00 PM till 8:00 PM, or maybe you do not remember what happened today from 8:00 AM till 12:00 PM, etc.
2) Strange things among your belongings.
Are there any episodes of you discovering the evidence of your actions and tasks that you do not recollect doing?
As for example, maybe you sometimes find new things among your belongings that you do not remember buying? As for example, maybe you have found an ashtray with smoked cigarettes in your home when you are completely sure that you are non-smoker, or maybe you have found leather clothes in your closet which perfectly fits your body however you are completely sure that you hate leather clothes, etc.
Are there any episodes of you finding (perplexing) writings, drawings, or notes among your belongings that you cannot remember doing?
Are there any episodes of you discovering injuries "coming to" in the midst of doing something?
3) Teleportation.
Are there any episodes of your teleportation? Are there any episodes when you have suddenly found yourself at work, in a nightclub, at the beach, or somewhere at home (e.g., in the closet, on a bed or sofa, in the corner) with no memory of how you came to be there?
4) Voices in the head.
Are there any episodes of you hearing voices inside your head that tell you to do things or comment on things that you are doing?
It is important to note that all these symptoms of multiple personality disorder are not attributable to psychotropic substances (alcohol, narcotics, etc) or another medical condition (e.g., complex partial seizures). These signs and symptoms may be observed by others or reported by the individual.
=======================

Step # 7: Make your conclusions ONLY after you have done the experiment on statistically large sample of people (acting as mediums). If you have not done the experiment then your philosophical-theoretical blabber has no value whatsoever.

Step # 8: Do you know of any other scientific model/theory which would predict the same outcome as Neurocluster Brain Model (“spiritualistic séances” inducing sleepwalking/MPD incidents)? If “yes” then please show this model/theory to us, it will be very interesting to see it.

Step 4, quite apart from being as leaky as a boat made entirely of holes, would be unethical. Could you think of another experiment?
 
I really love the "we need to be completely scientific", so here's experiment with zero scientific controls whatsoever that does not actually test for my premise anyway.

Donn’s problem of “unethicality” has a very simple solution – Donn should do this experiment on himself. The history of science is full of examples when scientists have done “unethical” experiments on themselves (most of these self-experiments were medical).

=======================
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-experimentation_in_medicine
Self-experimentation refers to the very special case of single-subject scientific experimentation in which the experimenter conducts the experiment on her- or himself. Usually this means that the designer, operator, subject, analyst, and user or reporter of the experiment are all the same. Self-experimentation has a long and well-documented history in medicine which continues to the present. Some of these experiments have been very valuable and shed new and often unexpected insights into different areas of medicine.
=======================

Carrying experiment on yourself has an advantage – getting predicted (by model/theory) outcome results on single-yourself is much more convincing than experimental results on the sample of 100 other people – if you will get results on single-yourself then you won’t need other people, that single experiment will be enough for you.

Another workaround solution for the problem of “unethicality” is to search for people who already have done the required procedure without your involvement. Question: what are the best places to look for such people? The answer is: in two places: 1) the lunatic asylum, and 2) exorcists. Go to these two places and search for people who had been conducting “spiritualistic séances” before they got into the lunatic asylum. The reason to look in these two places is very simple – the cases of strongest effects of “spiritualistic séances” usually end up in: 1) the lunatic asylum, and 2) exorcists. Find the people who math these criteria, write down their stories, systematize them, and look for repeatable patterns in their stories. The technical problem here is that the stories that they are telling themselves are unreliable due their mental condition, however the solution here is very simple – once you have the names of these people, search for their closest relatives/friends who are be able to tell the story what exactly happened before that man got into the lunatic asylum. The repeatable pattern is always the same – after prolonged conduction of “spiritualistic séances” there was an induction of sleepwalking/MPD incidents after which various things in home were moved and broken, various writings had appeared on the walls and mirrors in the bathroom, etc – and all this stuff was done by the “medium” during sleepwalking/MPD incidents, and as a result of this activity he ended up in the lunatic asylum.
Yes, we admit that analyzing stories of people in the lunatic asylum is not very “clean” experiment, however searching for statistical correlations in big samples of patients is the scientific method used in the medicine.

Much more convincing is the “clean” experiment when you take “healthy” people, run the experiment on them, and get induced sleepwalking/MPD incidents which were not present before the experiment.

It is totally up to you which way is best for you to go: 1) running self-experiment on yourself, 2) running experiment on statistically large sample of other “clean-healthy” people, 3) searching for statistical correlations in the stories of people who already have done the required procedure without your involvement.

Fixed that for you.

Step #4: Neurocluster Brain Model predicts that: after prolonged repeatable experimentation with “spiritualistic séances” you have high risk to induce sleepwalking/MPD incidents
I've never sleep walked. How many seances are you claiming it would take for that to happen?

Step # 5: Just go and carry out “spiritualistic séances” using “thread with the attached needle method” for prolonged periods of time as described in previous posts. Average statistical man must use thread with the attached needle in order to succeed in “invoking spirit”.
How long are these prolonged periods? How many sessions?

Step # 6: Check out the results – check out if the “medium” has began having sleepwalking/MPD incidents which were not present before the experiment.
I'm pretty confident that holding a needle and thread won't have any effect on my sleep patterns.

True, because it has never been shown to exist.

Step # 7: Make your conclusions ONLY after you have done the experiment on statistically large sample of people (acting as mediums). If you have not done the experiment then your philosophical-theoretical blabber has no value whatsoever.
You mean like the conclusions you've already made?

Step # 8: Do you know of any other scientific model/theory which would predict the same outcome as Neurocluster Brain Model (“spiritualistic séances” inducing sleepwalking/MPD incidents)? If “yes” then please show this model/theory to us, it will be very interesting to see it.
No, I don't know of any other theory quite that silly. I'll also say that there is no place in the brain where you could hide a second personality, much less 30 or 40 extra personalities.

Question for barehl: are you completely sure that the brain is really able to contain one(1) personality? What about the scenario when one(1) personality is unable to fit in the brain, and only half(1/2) or a quarter(1/4) or a tenth(1/10) of personality is able to fit in the brain – how about that? ;)
 
I'm pretty confident that holding a needle and thread won't have any effect on my sleep patterns.


Question for barehl: have you already done the experiment of “spiritualistic séance”? have you already succeeded in “invoking spirit” which is able to carry meaningful conversation?
If you have not done the experiment and if you have failed to “invoke spirit” which is able to carry meaningful conversation, then your philosophical-theoretical blabber is worthless.
Do your homework – carry out the experiment of “spiritualistic séance”, invoke the “spirit”, have meaningful conversation with that “spirit” – and come back only after you have done your home assignment.
 
Usually a man is completely unaware that he has multiple personality disorder (MPD), however it can be diagnosed with simple basic set of questions.

True, because it has never been shown to exist.


Let’s raise the simple question: who are those people who think that “multiple personality disorder (MPD) has never been shown to exist ”?

These people are exactly the same people who have strong religious fanatic faith that they posses “consciousness”, isn’t it?
These people are exactly the same people who are unable to provide scientific definition of the term “consciousness”, these people are exactly the same people who are unable to provide the list of criteria (the list of features) which would allow to determine if object X has consciousness or not, and these people are exactly the same people who are unable to provide any proof that they themselves have “consciousness”.
When a man uses a term/word which he is unable to define then it is quite obvious that such man does not understand himself what he is talking about, it is obvious that his speech is meaningless by definition.

And what is the scientific value of the judgment of these people about split-brain and MPD patients? The scientific value is zero, because they are not qualified to make the judgment – they have very strong religious fanatic faith that they posses “indivisible-single-consciousness”. They are scared to death by the idea that other agents/entities might be present in their own brain. That fierce fear of the possibility of other agents/entities being present in their own brain drives these people to fight until “the last drop of blood” defending the religious dogma of “indivisible-single-consciousness”.

Why does the psychiatry have so many problems with “multiple personality disorder”? The answer is very simple. First of all – “multiple personality disorder” is a very rare phenomenon – it is so rare that many psychiatrists/psychologist have even never heard of it. Secondly, very often patients diagnosed as “multiple personality disorder” simply have big fantasies and have nothing to do with real “multiple personality disorder”. Theses fakers with big fantasies bring a chaos into psychiatry because many psychiatrists after dealing with such fake cases come to wrong conclusion that “multiple personality disorder” is non-existing phenomenon. “Multiple personality disorder” is obvious only when there is a drastic change in all patient’s behavior: the change in voice timbre, the change in vocabulary used, the change in handwriting script, the change in gait, etc. However such cases are very rare. It is much more common when after “switch of personality” there are almost no change in voice timbre, no change in vocabulary used, no change in handwriting script, no change in gait – however the patient claims that now he is not Peter, but instead he is John. Such “personality switches” are totally inconvincible and look like a simple fake. Thus when a psychiatrist has seen only such cases in his practice, he makes a wrong conclusion that there is no such thing as “multiple personality disorder”, that all this is fake, and that you need to call this thing as “dissociative identity disorder (DID)“.

I really love the "we need to be completely scientific", so here's experiment with zero scientific controls whatsoever that does not actually test for my premise anyway.


That is exactly how scientific medical experiments are done. Medical experiments are different from experiments in physics.
Medical experiments are carried out on statistically large sample of people who are split into two groups: 1) an “experimental group”, and 2) a “control group.”
Medical procedure/drug might fail to produce the desired predicted result for the concrete patient, however if it works on large enough percentage of the patients, then the drug/procedure gets accepted.
Experiments that support Neurocluster Brain Model are exactly the same as medical experiments.

=======================
http://www.uwmedicine.org/research/research-trials/terms
Clinical trial
A clinical trial is a research study designed to test the safety and/or effectiveness of drugs, devices, treatments, or preventive measures in humans. Clinical trials can usually be divided into four categories or "phases".

Control group
In a particular study, researchers may divide participants into two groups — an "experimental group" and a "control group." The experimental group is given the experimental treatment under study, while the control group may be given either the standard treatment for the illness or a placebo. At the end of the study, the results of the two groups are compared to determine the effectiveness of the experimental treatment.

Experimental group
Study participants in the experimental group receive the drug, device, treatment, or intervention under study. In some studies, all participants are in the experimental group. In "controlled studies," participants will be assigned either to an experimental group or to a control group.
