Very interesting. I'm finding patterns in explorations of consciousness. The first four levels Leary describes could be Freud's id. The next 4 contain his super ego.
Compared to id = Dąbrowski's first level and super ego = 5th level.
Like you said these are all maps of consciousness. Psychological models that describe the actual physicality of a material mind.
I suppose I'm trying to determine how to physically recreate the material that will lead to a new consciousness.
We can't recreate Seattle from maps of Seattle to continue your analogy. Is it possible to recreate consciousness from our maps of consciousness?
It seems like that is what we have been trying to do in our pursuit of AI, when we know no more about what consciousness is than we know what Seattle is.
- erikpukinskis 7y agoThere are no roads where you are going. But I can offer you some pointers: Consciousness requires sensation and action. Without action animals don’t learn to perceive anything at all. If I were trying to make a conscious artificial being the first thing I would do would be to sign them up for a fast paced online FPS and teach them to play. Next give them emotions (0 dimensional precepts). Any time your codebase starts to feel big, delete most of it. Your end goal will be maybe 1000 lines total. Use matrices.
