Introduction
I think I have discovered, after 21 years of intensive research, what consciousness is. This discovery is as beautiful, conceptually simple, mechanistic, and luminously clear as that of the famous equation E=mc2! The theoretical resolution of this problem occurred on May 26 1997, with leaving a dream, like the accustomed one, in the reasoning by “tree structure” and “ramification” which I use to encircle a problem. The reasoning tree is a frighteningly effective method to come increasingly close to, an issue deemed unsolvable can in fact be resolved using this method, because it encloses the problem in a mesh of theoretical solutions which become increasingly dense until the problem "forfeits"! On May 26 the problem that I've been asking about in regards to consciousness for so many years had been solved! If this argument became common in science and philosophical research, we would do well, in other words, there would be rapid advances in all fields from the study of hyper-strings in physics up to the neuromorphogénétique general science being born, which I am "the imagineur" or designer.
Passivity of perceptive perception
When the cortex of our nervous system is in a state of unconscious perception, which means that it is satisfied to receive information from the sensory detectors, without any feedback on the aforementioned information, such a state of passive reception can be tested, by the researcher, by means of certain specific inhibitors of serotonin. In short: the cortex is in a pure perceptive state only when it is satisfied to receive information from the sensory detectors. That points out the image of the parabolic mirror being satisfied to reflect the landscape.
Birth of the Conscience
For the "conscience" to be born within a "point", the nervous system requires that this be enabled by a system, the SAC, which hypermetabolizes the aforementioned “point”. The SAC is the System Activator of the Conscience, taking its origin in the reticular
formation and ramifying, in tree structures, in all the nervous system, since the limbic system with the cortex. The SAC is thus a diffuse, arborescent system, ramified, whose function is to modify the metabolism of a focal zone on which it is projected at a given moment. When something “of interest” appears, for example, in the visual field it intensifies the metabolism associated with this “interesting” event.
The SAC induces an increase in connectivity by metabolic rise in a focal point.
The metabolic rise, generated by the SAC in a “point” of the nervous system (the SAC is a metabolic reducer/intensifier) results in an increase in connectivity, by rayonnance motifielle, in this “point”.
The metabolic threshold of the conscience
When a metabolic threshold is reached (let us call this threshold: the Threshold of the Conscience) the motifielle rayonnance then starts the appearance of a “resonant system mémoriel” i.e. a system whose reason A and reason B are answered, in resonance. It is this resonance which induces perceptive continuity because it maintains perception in a closed informational loop.
Mechanist definition of the Conscience:
Consciousness is an entire system of resonance between two memory regions, or more precisely, between two areas of homologies motifielles.
It begins when a perception is maintained by a movement back and forth (ie resonance defined here), between two memory regions. I am thus conscious of a section of M.H.V, for example, when there is a closed loop, resonant, of informational circulation in this MHV.
Being "conscience" is subjective sensation we feel when such a resonance phenomenon occurs! Period. It is unnecessary to look further because everything is in this statement that seems so banal...
The first image that comes to mind, which is a symbolic representation of this
phenomenon, is the ray of laser light that is reflected in a back and forth between two mirrors. Therefore, the conscience is like this analogy: it only exists as long as the ray of light is reflected incessantly between the two mirrors...
The SAC is used to create systems of resonance
The SAC is essential in the process of initiation of consciousness, although it does not aware of the phenomenon itself! The SAC creates resonant systems. This creation of resonant systems on a time interval is the "conscience" over an interval of time! It creates these resonant systems mémoriels by raising the local metabolism of the zones where it focuses its activity, which has consequences:
1. Increased connectivity between memorial areas 2. Intensifies the radiant motifielle
3. All this leads to the establishment in a given memory, a resonant system.
Without the SAC, memorial areas of the nervous system can not be sufficiently
metabolically activated to start resonances, except perhaps in certain psychopathologies.
That is why the reticular formation, where the SAC, is essential in the phenomenon of induction of a "conscious" in the global space of memory. As against various diseases, there is an increase in metabolic memory areas of the CNS, it occurs when the
phenomena of "consciousness" precipitates, probably without direct participation of the SAC. This is not yet clear. A phenomenon of consciousness is very interesting in some patients who have had near death experiences. In these cases, the conscience arises, logically, in response to a transient activation generated by a glutamaergic antagonist receptor known as the NMDA receptors, projecting the patient in a simple conscious dream, however, this explanation is somewhat biased, because the causes have yet to be researched.
The SAC in ordinary dreams and conscious dreams
The operation of the SAC in various states of consciousnesses should, theoretically, resemble the following:
1. Awakening: activation of SAC which then focuses on memory areas and intensify their metabolism to the threshold of resonance motifielle where the conscience arises.
2. Ordinary dream: the SAC is inactive. Thus it cannot generate awareness of a continuous type as during wakefulness.
3. However, due to the cessation of the attenuator’s operation, the cerebral cortex, and other systems, are at a level higher than the metabolic processes active during wakefulness and above the threshold of illusion. This leads to the generation of spontaneous resonance, metastablity, giving many "conscience" illusionnees respectively deceived conscience states.
4. Conscious dream: the SAC would become again active but would start to function in an opposite way that to the awakening (During wakefulness hypometabolic
areas of memories normally activate at a certain basal level). This metabolic reduction of these zones would not inhibit the normal conscious states which can occur during wakefulness.
In its conceptual design the SAC would behave as a metabolic focal intensifier in the waking state and as a metabolic focal reducer in a conscious dream. The ascending system of serotonin is, without a doubt, the reducing component of the metabolism. In this case one should highlight, at the time of the conscious dream, a serotoninergic
reactivation of the system normally at rest in the ordinary dream. In addition, the 5-HT2A receivers could play a fundamental part in the modulation of the conscience. For
example, the stimulation of the 5-HT2A receivers are responsible for the intensification of the metabolism in the frontal cortex when elicited by psilocin and other cogitatiogenes.
The noradrenergic system could be a component of the SAC intensifier systems, concomitant in glutamaergic mediation. But, of course, things must be somewhat more complicated than these drafts assume! It remains, nevertheless, that the serotonin system can decrease metabolism generally, as to activate it (for example by means of the
receivers 5-HT2A who must play an important part during the dream either through serotonin or, hypothetically, through the endogenous diméthyltryptamine). The SAC is, in fact, synonymous with my concept of Dérepixélisateur or D.R.P. On the other hand, the operation of this DRP, re-examined, would be a little different from what was considered in my preceding reflections. Thus progresses the arborescent reasoning!
Phenomenon of consciousness rocker
It is a beautiful phenomenon which demonstrates that the conscience is only the
subjective feeling which we have (as in the case of the colors that we see but do not exist in exoreality!); consciousness is the phenomena of resonance between memory zones!
Let us take the amusing, but fundamental example of an “illusion”, the famous illusion of interwoven grounds (overlapping regions) were we sometimes see the head of Freud on naked and lascivious women! Analysis of the phenomenon rocking: This example shows us, very clearly, what consciousness is! In this head of Freud one distinguishes, to
simplify, 2 basic reasons:
1. The head of Freud 2. A woman naked
What is interesting it is that for the majority of people when they put their eyes opposite these 2 overlapping reasons they are conscious, in fact, of one region at the same time…
Although their eyes see both regions their “conscience” is blind (as in a dream) because it can “see” only one region at the same time! This blindness to the "conscience" is
fundamental, because it shows us, without a doubt, that the conscience is born and exists only when one exomotif detected is compared with the same endomotif counterpart, in a resonant system. Does that mean underlying?
That means that when one sees the head of Freud, only, in the head of Freud (also containing the naked woman) one does not become conscious that at the time or appears a resonance maintained between the exomotif one and the endomotif corresponding
counterpart! Being "aware" of the head of Freud is in fact subjective interpretation (like the fact of seeing colors) that we have the phenomenon of back and forth information counterpart in a resonant system. Consciousness is the resonance, a little like two mirrors reflecting conversely, a ray of light! Until the light (here the information) "resonance"
between the two mirrors (two designs) there conscience. When resonance shrinking, consciousness decline. When it dies out there is no more awareness: I do not see, for example, the head of Freud although in front of my eyes, as in a dream or a state of delirium! That occurs by a phenomenon of rocker i.e. that, suddenly, resonance moves towards another zone memory, that of the naked woman and I then become conscious of the existence of the naked woman while becoming again unconscious of the head of Freud, although it is under my eyes… It is hyper-fundamental all that.
The Deceived Consciousness
In the deceived conscience there is a shift of the resonance and the establishment of a resonant system between a given pattern A and another endogenous pattern B, which is not perfectly homologous. Perfect! Consciousness arises nevertheless since it is in the resonant system only and not in the adequacy or the inadequacy of resonance! Thus one is “conscious” of false things, as in the dream or the madness! Splendid! Consciousness, therefore, it is the subjective feeling of a resonant system as described above. Nothing more, nothing less (One can compare it to that of color vision. What is a color? It is the subjective sensation of a phenomenon of calculation by the three detectors / analyzers / integrators)! That is why you may be aware of things perfectly imaginary and have no correspondence in exoreality, phenomenon of extreme importance
psychopharmacophilosophique because the implication of this is that being conscious is not to say, ipso facto, to be in contact with an objective reality ... Being aware is a purely mechanical phenomenon that does not lead necessarily to objective reality. It is a
phenomenon of the same order as the vision of the colors which, apart from our craniums, do not exist although they exist for each one of us, obviously!
The Threshold of Illusion and the ways of Illusion
The threshold for illusion is an important concept because it shows why and how different states of consciousness. The intensity of consciousness depends on:
1. Time of resonance between the patterns 2. Resonant metabolic energy
More metabolic energy increases in a resonant system of consciousness, the more it tends to activate other systems collocated resonant as close motifellement. Resonance then tends to circulate, to move in the memory, instead of remaining in a fixed point. This resonance moves in a “transverse” way on the theoretical diagrams i.e. in areas of homologies motifielles.
When resonance moves one is then a deceived initially radiant aware then, once crossed the metabolic threshold of the threshold of illusion.
Beyond a certain threshold of movement of the resonance the links between different resonant systems are becoming increasingly separated and the conscience is "fragmented"
therefore, as in hashish, ie, it radiates intensely.
When the metabolic energy in a memory area is equal to or greater than the threshold of delusion systems memorial resonate, then so * eacute; tense, introducing therefore a total distortion of consciousness in relation to the perception: Consciousness is deceived because it is no longer in bi-univocal relationship to perception.
For example the couple of the resonant zones A and B which involve a correct conscience of exomotif A breaks to leave room to a new resonant couple of A and C (C being a pattern close to B). The news resonance between A and C is a deceived conscience! And voilà!
Illustrating this, imagine the motives in question:
• Let A exomotif the face Patan
• Let B be the counterpart of the face endomotif Patan
• Let C be the face of endomotif Christine, endomotif motifiellement very close to the ground A.
To be conscious of Patan, there, opposite my eyes it is the result of resonant couple A and B. If, on the other hand, the resonant couple becomes couple A and C then (although I see completely and extremely exactly the face of Patan with my eyes!) I lose the
consciousness of Patan to become conscious of the face of Christine, stored in my memory and activated by motifielle resonance between couple A and C. And revoilà!
Psychotropic cannabinoids and antagonists of NMDA receptors are able to direct the conscience towards increasingly intense ways of illusion. A way of illusion it is the field of the conscience which is beyond the threshold of illusion. This is the realm of
consciousness and the insane man who dreams every night!
Meaning
What the subjective feeling “meaning”? For example, I contemplate a plant-cabbage (paederia scandens or will hécousocazoura, in Japanese) and I feel that it conceals meaning! That becomes clear to me when, suddenly, I become conscious of the image (and all that is referred to it) virus of the mosaic of the tobacco, virus which I studied well, formerly! The meaning of an object is seen from the subjective sensation of establishing a link between two information objects with a common information
motifielle homology. In the case above the motifielle homology was the bit of RNA of the virus of the mosaic of resonant tobacco with the climbing stem, rolled up in spiral, of plant-cabbage. The plant-cabbage takes, suddenly, a direction because it is connected, motifiellement, with the image of an object which I studied well and which I thus know well. Another example: I am opposite a black pine from Austria, in Geneva, under
cannabinic influence. Looking at this pine it becomes to me spontaneously meaningful. I feel it means something but I do not know what. Looking at the radiant needles of the pine something says to me that this has something to do with consciousness. Years later I will discover the concept of the MHV and of the motifielle resonance and I realize that the needles and the branches of the pine had meaning because they referred to my thought being born on this subject! Still another example (of which I do not have the solution for, but will ultimately not arise without any conscious effort!) it is the meaning which I allot to the vision of a cedar which makes me think of a pyramidal cell! Trunk identified with the axon, the Anguilla identifying with the dendritic spines, and branches to dendrites. I see this cedar and I feel that the solution of the problem not-solved
concerning the material place of the memory and its establishment is there! On needles (dendritic spines, then!) I imagine serotoninergic and dopaminergenic connections acting in concert to vary parameters, still unknown, acting on the level of these dendritic spines.
All the creative thought functions in this way, through the vision and the direction undergo something.
Reinterpretation of the concept of pixels
In 1979, I had defined the pixel as a data element absent from the tissûre (tissûre is a word of old French) of the oneiric conscience. If we take the example of Freud's head with a naked woman in it can be said that this header contains two pixels intertwined. The conscience is not, normally, able to perceive that one or the other of the pixels
alternatively, by a phenomenon of rocker which generates a resonance A or B but not both simultaneously. The passage of resonance A to resonance B is the conscience of A then of B. Each switch from one pixel to another lost an element of consciousness, ie a resonance removes another. So when I go from pixel "head Freud" pixel "naked woman lascivious" I lose consciousness of Freud although my eyes see the Freud in question (which means that the pixel containing the reason for the head of Freud is absent from my consciousness, as in any dream). At the insane one (and in the ordinary dream!) the same events occur but on a larger scale in the perceptive field: for example (as in a cannabinic illusion) it is all the visual field of perception which can rock of a macro-pixel to another macro-pixel, such as for example passing from Geneva to Bângkoc while passing under scaffolding, linked in a single MHV! These macro-pixels seem to have something fractal in nature but my reasoning is not developed yet on this subject. It returns, often, without, however, to materialize a creative explanation!! The macro-pixels constitute, without any doubt, a whole enchaînure of coordinated resonances rocking of a state E another in simultaneity. Anyone can try this with psychotropic cannabinoids! The absence of a pixel of consciousness simply means that the pixel is inactive and does not resonate. In a macro-pattern perception, such as the space of my visual field I am "aware"
because there is a canvas, a enchaînures resonance in my memory that correspond with all micro-patterning, and a branched , almost fractal, this macro-pattern. For example, it could very well (in the crazy) occur microwave resonances in an unspecified reason any of my macro-pattern and I would be "aware" of something non-existent! Imagine that in a vast landscape of forests, rivers and birds suddenly the pattern of a bird stimulates the resonance of a dragon motif, in my memory ... hop and I am convinced that this bird is a dragon! And yet seeing an old bearded hypermétabolise pattern, for example, the reason
for Charlton Heston playing Brace: I will be conscious then of a dragon and endomotif Charlton Heston/Moïse!
Madness is just that.
Thus, it means the fragmentation of consciousness at the dérepixélisé: a suite of
recognition errors while generating motifielle resonances wrong. To take again a term of data processing “the addressing” of perceptive information is made way erroneous, following a local hypermetabolism which generates microphone or macro-illusions, via the motifielle resonance. The “conscience” is only in to and from of information, entrenue in the duration, a resonance. Period. And it is clear as crystal! This has a
