Understanding consciousness is the next great scientific frontier.
Biological systems must adapt to their environment. The ability to balance and produce intelligent responses depends on a precise mental model of that environment. The superb adaptation to physical laws means that quantum mechanics, such as decision-making, describes our psychology. Comparison processes, the central pillars of intellect, are also utilized by artificial intelligence: Alphazero can learn by comparing game outcomes. As material systems observe the principle of least action when moving through space, biological systems optimize their action repertoire between the past and the future. Like the stationary action in physics, the mind's predictive intelligent processing is a memory-based temporal energy regulation system. Thus, the least action is based on past experience.
Access to air, water, food, and mating influences behavior between urgency and relaxation. Conscious focus is not under conscious control but governed by internal or external motivation. We cannot suppress our thoughts or emotions, nor can we turn them off at will. We say things we do not mean, lie, and commit crimes because we are slaves to our emotions. The inability to consciously guide behavior leads to remorse, shame, and regret.
Despite dramatic changes to the mind and body, the mental continuum lasts from infancy to old age. Qualia's unique, intractable qualities remain intimately linked with the self, with conscious attention representing just the visible surface of the particle-like isolation of mental content. The introspectively accessible, phenomenal aspects of the mind are at the very heart of the mind-body problem. The mind is a self-regulating system that forms the smallest unit of intellect. This unity and indivisible wholeness is the essence of consciousness' separation from the environment, expressed by the fermionic mind hypothesis (FMH).
Why is it important?
Recognizing the energetic nature of emotions can provide tools for individuals to achieve their human potential and inspire new, effective treatments for mental illnesses, such as depression. Comprehending how the mind works can inspire innovative types of quantum computers and deep learning systems.
The book Emotional Reasoning: Insight into the Conscious Experience was published on August 30, 2024.
