global and local considerations .. chaotic systems phase space ..applied to ..mind

how the hell ..did that happen .. I was not asking for it .. I only had in mind to delve upon ..memories .. if that means, in itself, anything .. which right now .. even for myself I use it as an anchor .. the rest of the thoughts are precariously ..connected .. I might loose them .. yet ..that extract from something I wrote about some years ago .. fits to ..the yet .. undeveloped thoughts .. still to come..

"..the isolation of phase space used to explain why humans as dynamical systems have limited perceptions as the extend of their perceptions are determined by the phase spaces their dynamical systems unfold .. our perceptions are limited by the phase spaces that the variables and parameters have set .. variables and parameters as are influenced by knowledge ..limited knowledge, limited scope variables and parameters .. determine the extend of the phase spaces .. and these phase spaces do not mix .. strangers but close together.."

minds .. the dynamical systems .. phase space where all the states the dynamical system are included ..our minds contain .. where are memories reside .. memories practically being states as such .. mind states .. included in mind's phase space .. and develop from state to state by the ..tweaking of variables and parameters .. which as they vary and out of the connections provided by functions, they produce state from state, one state from another ... all within mind's phase space ..

and mind's phase space could include .. and should include .. our entire lives .. all the states we found selves in ..

and the variables and parameters are out of our knowledge .. what we learn as we grow older .. determine the extend of one's phase space .. different kinds of knowledge ..different phase spaces .. and as knowledge is made out of the concepts ..conquered .. acquired a grasp ..which translates into variables and parameters .. the properties concepts possess .. out of which concepts are defined and described .. and the more refined concept acquisition has progressed ..has an impact upon the breadth and the depth one's mind phase space is constructed ..

that ..in turn .. can be taken as a measure of ..consciousness .. from the point of view that the more we are armed conceptually, the more we can distinguish, focus and observe .. stand witness upon ..
which poses the question about consciousness .. is it gained or awarded ..given to..

do we gain consciousness  ..or gain in consciousness .. either way the result feels the same ..

one's brain making up a mind .. creating a state of mind .. and acts upon it .. using it as a blueprint to guide action .. deal with events one is involved in .. making choices.. taking decisions .. one draws out of ready-made solutions .. ones one made in the past while dealing similar situations .. and if one finds self short of the arsenal of already made up recipe-like ways on how to act .. associates ..

associate ..if one is equipped.. endowed genetically with the necessary skills ..or if he learned to seek out solutions by virtue of associations .. as by associations we produce novel solutions .. manage to deal with the unexpected in one's life events ..

if one lacks the ability to deal with problems via associations ..is bound to be unable to deal with novel problems .. scraping through in life .. even for seemingly similar problems

continuously using the same approach .. causes trouble to self .. as even similar problems ..tend to be presented with slight variations each time the alternatives to deal even with the slight variations soon or .. sooner or later ..are exhausted ..

has to rely upon association .. to gain new ways of dealing an ever extended gamut of problems .. has to rely upon association..

global and local considerations ..

the conscious unconscious interplay.. running along ..Thomas Kuhn's ..prerogative ..precept ..

Conscious unconscious interplay ..calling in to measurement ..implicated in measurement.. and measurement into the collapse of the wavefunction ..

crapping .. infiltrating into the famous ..BBBs .. Bed .. Bus .. Bath .. and into the conscious unconscious interplay .. how can such a state of the human mind be implemented ..

And the other aspect ..touching ..in that interplay ..what hinders this state acquisition ..the

..being recognised.. 
..the ..ego at bay ..in the forefront ..

What can be assumed as being part of the power that individuals should yield ..feel ..as ought, ..being pressured ..to feel.. supposed to ..and demanded of .. what is the basis of the current state of societies .. The capitalistic foundations .. its ultimate being ..recognised by the possession of loads a money to be finger-pointed ..standing above the crowd ..

The conscious side throws off the individual ..destroys the unconscious side ..

No reservation ..devoid of ..free from ..
To take advantage of quantum properties ..in the only way it can be possible ..unconsciously ..to delve deep in the processes of nature ..in the strangeness of the quantum realm ..

Consciousness destroys ..decohere the wavefunctions ..

Ignoring its (unconscious) presence completely ..

bringing unconscious in the forefront ..learn how to deal with it .. an unparalleled feat .. a challenge for the human individual ..one that would give what has been attributed as magic powers ..

That can master it..

Ideas ..how they are instantiated ..created ..as.. seemingly ..  if .. out of nowhere ..though that is what it appears as ..

.. an interplay of conscious with unconscious processes ..functions ..one that has been within the potential of the human individual .. in its grasp since the dawn of humanity ..dare say..

Claim ..posit..

Only for consciousness to erase the traces the unconscious leaves behind ..

Conscious unconscious interplay been with the individual intertwined with nature itself ..the quantum nature ..

How an idea is created.. When it barely touches ..the ideas that is connected with ..spawning them … subtle influences passed on, into the newly created ..

.. tracing those influences ..from the amplituhedron .. to an electron wave function divided and trapped .. the paths that were opened .. in order to arrive ..to the barebones of the idea that niggles me right now..

the unconscious ..living into a realm that language is ..meaningless.. Taking the paradigm ..of coding ..computer coding ..literally the 1s and 0s ..and transforming ..parsing ..compiling them ..and whatever other processes to end up with the advanced programming languages ..developed and evolved in the same way that spoken language must have developed and evolved ..though the 1s and 0s of computers .. are the quantum world's wave functions  ..

That’s where from ..language has originated and that is where they still lie .. And support the whole overlaid structure ..

.. where conscious resides ..over the backs of the unconscious ..

Release the hold of the unconscious from the tethers the conscious has draped upon it ..free the unconscious from the conscious grapplings ..use its findings ..as though ..these findings of the conscious ..the unconscious will be liberated ..as still the unconscious requires these findings of the conscious to get liberated ..it is what is called informed decisions ..the guidance of the unconscious out of the findings of the conscious .. The conscious being the book that is written .. But is writing it out of the sparks the unconscious reveals as it is the only one that can delve deep into the quantum processes..

Thomas Kuhn's prerogative ..precept ..the conscious unconscious interplay..

Language ..you feel ..and do not become slave to it ..letting it flow unhindered.. use as you may and not as you ought to..

Not an obligation ..but a necessity ..the world full of disparate concepts ..jumbled up.. Ought to rearrange into meaningful orders ..fit to humans ..to nature of things ..

an account of ..viral

the process .. begins deeper in the mind the concepts held .. what comes out to surprise you is only the outcome of many other processes that take place unconsciously .. or subconsciously .. might be .. equally plausible ..

that gives credence or even explains the spontaneous .. the viral ..manifestation ..as it is called .. a viral infection .. its minute agent .. multiple agents .. spreads uncontrollably .. equipped by a limited set of instructions .. though to another domain that of social interactions which nevertheless undergoes the same procedures as for the mind of a single person, a viral manifestation in a single person

as in the social realm what leads to a spontaneous presentation of a group of people though ..initially ..not regarded as a group before the manifestation .. at least not necessarily ... it comes out as a matter of synchrony and reverberation. Synchrony as a matter of thoughts taking or taken place in the minds of people involved ..being synchronised and the reverberation the simultaneous outburst of that outcome, what is witnessed as ...that collective outcome

synchrony implies processes which achieved synchronicity, their paths synchronised, paths which their origins are to be found at lower levels, threads that go deeper into the mind, the architecture of that ..of a fractal nature

Sigmund Freud's, structure of the unconscious ..

.. an extract out of Sigmund Freud, "The Structure of the Unconscious"
"As regards a characterization of the ego, ... in so far as it is to be distinguished from the id and the super-ego, we shall get on better if we turn our attention to the relation between it ..

.. the ego, in its relation to the human mental apparatus ..

.. mental apparatus, brain and mind, the tool that makes it possible for us .. to record, observe its presence .. of ego .. one-self .. and within this word ..included all its different forms of .. my(self) .. him-, her-, it(self) .. our-, your-, them-(selves) ..

.. mirrored, .. him, her, it, your, them, .. reflected upon .. what makes the reflections possible .. reflection-carrying potential ..

.. the one-self ..exists .. only because .. to carry its reflections

.. associated, connected .. woven into .. inseparable .. one-self ..is solipsism (solipsism=an illusion producing entity.. attribute) ..doesn't exist .. (it doesn’t exist? ..even to the point ..of non-existence .. however ..it is there.. and it muddles up ..what is there .. it prevents us of a clear view)..

.. it is high time .. to act and behave .. as nature dictates ..(nature dictates?.. how can we know what nature dictates? .. what portion of the mental apparatus ..is more enabling .. if assume the components of the mental apparatus being .. the ego .. the id and ..the super-ego ..

.. and the most superficial portion of the mental apparatus; which we call the Pcpt-cs (perceptual-conscious) system...

.. the superficial portion of the mental apparatus (and why superficial? .. what we call the perceptual-conscious system ..)

Freud’s descriptions are tinted and tainted by definitions that carry a ..smirch to processes ..and ..this is unbecoming and uncalled for while describing processes .. a thing that ought to be shed off.. unloaded ..abandoned ..

.. what we ..as societies .. solely adhere to ..are based upon it .. the worlds we live in .. ignorance(?)..

.. what is most cherished about

"This system is directed on to the external world, it mediates perceptions of it, and in it is generated, while it is functioning, the phenomenon of consciousness. It is the sense-organ of the whole apparatus, receptive, moreover, not only of excitations from without but also of such as proceed from the interior of the mind. One can hardly go wrong in regarding the ego as that part of the id ..."

.. the ego ..is exerted as a force .. moulding itself in the process .. in what we experience it ..as ..

.. Sigmund Freud's ..id .. literally .. the quantum foam .. the seething cauldron ..out of which .. reality .. emerges ..springs out of .. under the influence exerted by the ego
the point .. I was trying to make .. understanding the ..id .. from my perspective .. the connection with the physical world .. quantum noise .. their origin being similar .. if not the same ..

.. underlying ..all processes .. included of what we are used to call as .. mental ..

.. mental processes ..on a par ..with physical processes .. the quantum mechanics .. prevailing in physical processes governs mental processes ..too
.. the parallels ..enabled that equates the mental processes with the physical processes as having the same origins .. the ..id .. being in a sense primordial ..equated to the quantum foam that underlies the physical world  .. mental processes unconscious ..and conscious ..alike .. mental processes surpassing the conscious ..realm .. include the functions of the ego and the super-ego ..

".. which has been modified..

..modified .. by an agent .. a self-created ..agent .. to whatever qualities such an agent can be thought of .. an entity .. created out of the whatever essence being attributed to mental processes and are assumed to possess .. in a similar manner as it has been observed in all of its other manifestations .. according to the self-similarity principle that pervades all realms under the influence of the all-encompassing state of being.. which is none other than chaos .. driven by the powerful force of seeking-out order .. the stable states of existence ..

.. modified ..moulded by .. the elements that is made out of .. what enables proximity to the external world .. the conduit of the id to the external world .. the conduit that passes through what is received out of the external world ..

.. by its proximity to the external world and the influence that the latter has had on it, and which serves the purpose of receiving stimuli and protecting the organism from them, like the cortical layer with which a particle of living substance surrounds itself. This relation to the external world is decisive for the ego. The ego has taken over the task of representing the external world for the id, and so of saving it; for the id, blindly striving to gratify its instincts in complete disregard of the superior strength of outside forces,..

.. the attribution to the ..id ..of .. instincts .. and gratifying them ..as well .. uncalled for .. unnecessary.. a point where Freud’s.. descriptions  do to the id ..injustice ..
.. there should be not  .. what? ..malevolence attributed to id .. in the same way that they are not attributed to the physical quantum realm  .. the devastating forces existing in that realm bear no relevance to the world that we are living in .. Freud’s mental complement accomplished at the time he lived, does not appropriately allow describing id ..as it should be ..

..could not otherwise escape annihilation. In the fulfilment of this function, the ego has to observe the external world and preserve a true picture of it in the memory traces left by its perceptions, and, by means of the reality-test, it has to eliminate any element in this picture of the external world which is a contribution from internal sources of excitation. On behalf of the id, the ego controls the path of access to motility, but it interpolates between desire and action the procrastinating factor of thought, during which it makes use of the residues of experience stored up in memory. In this way it dethrones the pleasure- principle, which exerts undisputed sway over the processes in the id,..

.. another ..unnecessary attribution of ..intent .. in human terms .. equivalent to trying to use the standards that hold for the classical world to determine the standards that should hold in the quantum realm.. whereas it ought to be the other way around .. the included .. the classical world ..is determined out of what holds in what includes it .. i.e. the quantum world ..

.. and substitutes for it the reality-principle, which promises greater security and greater success. "

security ..success .. one should read ..stability instead .. the human condition tainted terms promulgated under the overwhelming influence permeating the societies we managed to set up thus far ..should not ..should never be used to determine anything other than its limited domain .. limiting in the process, the breadth and width of its mental processes .. attenuated to its utmost by the physical processes present at that specific space and time..

inane if not an insult the attempt .. the instincts of a mouse trapped to assume from its current conditions .. as the conditions pervading of all that surrounds its tiny enclave ..

.. evidence of Generation Y's inflated ego ..

superficial account ..

what is ..ego .. does the author ..knows ..

so relevant .. it is compelling .. even if .. I regard it ..as such .. as an illusion ..

so what is relevant, here .. the stimuli ..received .. since the dawn of this day .. all ..converge into ..one thing .. something .. solid .. shaping out .. emerging .. the bones and ..tissues .. coagulate into a form ..

business judgement rule .. the innards of the system ..

.. reads ..

"To challenge the actions of a corporation's board of directors, a plaintiff assumes "the burden of providing evidence that directors, in reaching their challenged decision, breached any one of the triads of their fiduciary duty—good faith, loyalty, or due care"[2]"

"Lacking quickness of perception or intellect.
Characterized by a lack of intelligence or sensitivity: an obtuse remark.

Not sharp, pointed, or acute in form; blunt.
Having an obtuse angle: an obtuse triangle.

In New Addiction Treatment Erases Drug-Associated Memories

"Professor Barry Everitt said, “The results suggest that efforts should be made to develop drugs that could be given in a controlled clinical or treatment environment in which addicts would have their most potent drug memories reactivated. Such treatments would be expected to diminish the effects of those memories in the future and help individuals resist relapse and maintain their abstinence."

The spread of uprisings ... An explanation from beyond ..

An explanation beyond the tangible, of what can be seen; touched; listened to, of rationality, of what is known and discussed about consciousness (1).

Right now I am contemplating while I listen to Al Jazzera English live channel on the protests that currently are taking place in Syria today 12:00 noon on Thursday 24th March 2011.

The triggers were given from what I read about in that paper (3)

represent states .. all in a superposition of states .. which its imminent collapse .. will be manifested as an act of decision making .. the individual making a judgement

and in this superposition of states .. anything is entered . as Feynman's original explanation .. the journey of an electron for going from A to B includes the path that takes the electron to the moon before it ends to B

.. combined with what I contemplated and wrote about in that post about the human individual as quantum mechanical entity

the other paper about concepts


ideas concepts do not spread only in hard copy written listened talked

but in the context of global consciousness

.. that the only thing that has to be done is for individuals or individual to merely think of a concept in the form of a fledgling idea .. without even the need to be written down, for others to read, to be spoken, for others to listen .. merely contemplated

it resembles what has been said about memes .. but goes even beyond that .. quantum events .. quantum mechanical entities .. the idea of waves .. propagating in the noosphere .. do not require .. what can be taken as .. hard copies (tangible)

the common and collective cauldron of concepts .. the material by which .. consciousness is made out of .. consciousness as it is split .. into the myriads consciousness of the individuals around the world .. but altogether connects .. there is cohesion .. cohere into what it is part .. global consciousness .. assembled .. created .. brought to existence .. according to principle of the whole as being more than the sum of its parts

superposition of states .. the myriad states .. which its collapse .. brings about the existence

the myriad states .. out of the ideas and concepts .. thought .. when a concept thought .. out of the myriad combinations of all the concepts already existing .. a novel approach .. the idea that instantiates .. becomes the state to collapse ..

that indicates .. how futile is Gaddafi's efforts .. to battle against the uprising of Libyan people .. what Yemeni president Saleh tries to avoid

someone would call it the awakening . of the global consciousness .. that spreads all over the Arab world


certainly the growth of all the social media contribute to that awakening the spread of the ideas and concepts

new social media certainly were not sufficient in themselves to spark an awakening or bring about real political change.(2)



the boundaries of merely being a tool for global capitalism in the hands of the corporations .. but having a will of its own .. the global consciousness .. have surpassed .. broken out of the boundaries .. that they were set out to begin with ...

"These results suggest a “tipping point” in the cortical network dynamics analogous to that found for the spread of ideas, innovation, and economic behavior in social networks, where a small increase in the number of participating agents can suddenly lead to widespread cascades of adoption."

.. where did I get that quote from, evades me.

Bifurcating being thinking itself. And what guides and unravels thoughts, what powers the thinking process is chaos itself.

Starting in a chaotic mode. Just what it comes into my mind. The point at hand, to start. What does this mean and how can I accommodate the thoughts brought forth, in this post with my pre-existing notions already stored in my brain. And certainly, as paper-lecture 1(?), proclaims, if I do not manage to fit it alongside or in-between my pre-knowledge structures, I will re-arrange my pre-knowledge structures, even break them up, and re-assemble them again as new knowledge structures, creating new knowledge.

That I see, in my brain-level, as the formation of new synapses and hence novel neural paths, the neural path itself, all the nodes traversed, nodes being effected by the synapses, is what stores the knowledge structure, the concepts, the notions, the ideas. All together coalescing to produce the mind. The creation of a new synapse representing the bifurcation. Bifurcating being thinking itself. And what guides and unravels thoughts, what powers the thinking process is chaos itself.

Learning being the very application of the chaotic reiterative function, repeated on and on, on every knowledge structure possessed. And let us bring on what is mentioned in (that website(?)) that proves, what holds for the logistic map, the sensitivity to the initial conditions.

I will start with the iterations. Certainly, chaos and what has come up forth and we know about it, requires reiterations, repetitions. It is self-referential more than anything else. Despite whether, as the claim of its intrinsic determinism referred, it is deterministic or not. As I see it and profess its implication in the lives of individuals, within an individual or of societies of individuals, its reiterative nature come about via our habits which determine the course of events in our lives, again individually and collectively.

As habits, exercising our habits, is the way we apply the concepts we abide to, as it is explained in that paper(?) dealing with concepts, the very mention of habits include the notion of reiterations. Our exercising our habits.

Science's arrogance?

In Nasim Taleb's book 'Black Swan, the Impact of the Highly Improbable', page 138, it mentions:

"Let us examine what I call epistemic arrogance, literally, our hubris concerning the limits of our knowledge. Episteme is a Greek word that refers to knowledge; giving a Greek name to an abstract concept makes it sound important. True, our knowledge does grow, but it is threatened by greater increases in confidence, which make our increase in knowledge at the same time an increase in confusion, ignorance, and conceit."


Episteme, it may refer to knowledge but it primarily means 'science', so someone should read the term of 'epistemic arrogance' as 'scientific arrogance', more at the heart of the matter alluded by the uncommon use of the term, unfamiliar to a wider audience. The use of the Greek word 'episteme', it is not merely giving a veil of importance but the equivalent of a derogatory term to science itself. That science could stoop so low as to becoming arrogant.

By the use of Greek words freely outside the context of the Greek language ignoring the semantic overtones that bear, it has been an ingrown pastime, Greeks would say a lack of respect of the language. But what the heck, why not, words are merely symbols to be used at will to the context it is transferred to and the meaning attributed it alone. However when as in this case the use of a word that in its original form means what you try to avoid saying to their face reveals a cautiousness from the part of the introducer and mar the very concept itself instead of being different.

You are avoiding saying to their face that science itself creates arrogance.

.. has a past ..

It is not the limits of our knowledge that it is questioned here but our over-reliance to our conscious aspect of our consciousness, it is our conscious mind that is arrogant, it bears the ingredients to become arrogant.

.. don't blame knowledge itself but the way it is used ..

It is our conscious mind that overwhelmed by notions that prevail in our societies, in the current stage and age, that drives individuals to a trail of arrogance.. (page 139)

".. Harvard Business School students, a breed not particularly renowned for their humility or introspective orientation. MBAs are particularly nasty in this regard, which might explain their business success."

.. nasty ..!!

or in page 137

"Many of the opera-bound people looked like they worked for the local office of J. P. Morgan, or some other financial institution where employees experience differential wealth from the rest of the local population, with concomitant pressures on them to live by a sophisticated script (wine and opera)."

Conscious mind is a product, highly amenable to influences, which at any time could lead it astray. Succumbs under the pressures, a (highly?) volatile quantity. That is the make-up of our conscious mind. Restrains, puts reigns to its unconscious counterpart, undermines the unconscious, instils it with fear, hesitation. Hesitance, self-doubt creeps in, confidence is undermined.

When my conscious self gets in the way, interferes, I loose the streak that my unconscious put forth. All the concepts are there, awaiting, but the conscious is an ill agent, contributor, handler. Can not handle things in the way the unconscious can, knows, handles.

And how can it not be. Logic reasoning, logic reasoning works at another level above what unconscious works, a bundle of things that their main reason being there, is to put barriers, to slow down, mostly to a standstill, the thoughts that rush in.

Science, the way it is employed by its purveyors, can not be imaginative.

Conscious mind emergent? A construct? What fires up the conscious, cranks the brain machine from the top, from a higher level? Till all the cogs of the brain machine are in motion, it takes time, they are not deployed fast. Fast enough. A notion that is revealed to any individual that complains at a computer, that is not fast enough, unaware of the speed, the complexity of a program entails, which its conscious mind can not emulate, but its unconscious can.

The unconscious works down at the deepest level, down to the level of neurons themselves, at speeds unimaginable. Where inspiration resides and fires up.

The conscious, can not only keep up the pace, but stops the fire spreading. The unconscious is what pokes out the ideas, bifurcations ahoy. The conscious kills the unconscious, undermines, the unconscious, instils it with fear, hesitance. When my conscious mind gets in the way, interferes, I loose the streak that my unconscious pushed forth. Grammar rules, overbearing syntax, fancy words that could do without, see to that. The conscious writhes in, struggles and suffers.



-----------
and its use in this context it is not merely to make the abstract concept sound important but it is used to derogate science itself or at least one of its aspects the aspect that science can be used in arrogant ways, a slur against science itself and not a totally different concept.

Consciousness is not a thing, but a process

deep inroads dug .. the stream is narrowing .. are nearer to a solution

In Fractal Neurodynamics and Quantum Chaos: Resolving the Mind-Brain Paradox through Novel Biophysics, Chapter 2.1 Defining Mind and Consciousness, Paragraph 2.1.3.3

"As William James originally pointed out "consciousness is not a thing, but a process"."

Consciousness, a process and by being a process is ongoing, it needs to keep going. Sustained by what has sparked it, in the first place. Once sustaining is not possible, ceases to be, consciousness dwindles to its ground state, nothingness.

"Conscious features may thus be rapidly transformed by the very act of observation, leaving only the sensoria as stable observables."

Conscious features what we use to define and describe our inner and outer worlds and by such an act instantiating an instance of existence of ourselves at its centre. Consecutive instances stringed along depicting the flow of our lives, each instance depending on the conscious features being continually transformed enabled by the very act of observation anchored in our sense organs.

"Thought is an example of such dynamically unstable observation, because the act of thinking results in an evolution of the experience."

Thought being more than just an example, but the reason the human individual has reached to such heights of development, the part of consciousness that enables experience to evolve, to transform experience in ways impossible for other brain architectures existing and use this transformation to continually re-define its role in its surroundings. Adjusting to its surroundings enabled and simultaneously transforming the surroundings to fit self, a virtually eternal cycle.

"An idea is an unstable bifurcation to a novel thought state."

The essence of idea, as they appear as unstable bifurcation, fledglings to be nurtured, fed to fulfil their purpose thereafter, to consummate the role they will play in restructuring our inner and outer worlds, our world. Their immense transformative power. Without ideas we would have never progressed from our primitive stage.
