Informational Model of Consciousness: From Philosophic Concepts to an Information Science of Consciousness
Philosophy Study April 28, 2019 F. Găiseanu 12 citations
Consciousness is an informational projection in the mind of seven subsystems: three form an operative system for short-term adaptation, three form a programmed operating system for body maintenance and long-term survival, and the seventh is an information pole connecting the organism to external information, including extra-sensorial properties. The human body is a bipolar info-matter structure managed by the brain, absorbing and emanating information as a reactive system for adaptation, operating with both matter-related (codified) and non-matter-related (virtual) information. This model allows investigation of consciousness using information science tools and addresses the mind-body problem and the hard problem, showing correspondences with ancient philosophies.
