A Classical Probabilistic Computer Model of Consciousness

arXiv Preprint Archive January 25, 2002 Stephen Blaha

Human consciousness can be modeled as a classical probabilistic computer rather than a quantum one, because no known feature of consciousness depends on Planck's constant, the hallmark of quantum phenomena. The facets of consciousness are describable using an object-oriented design with dynamically defined classes and objects. Consciousness may also have redundant, protective mechanisms, similar to principles in economic theory.
