If you want to track consciousness track the data. Vision has the highest bit rate and is easy to track, your consciousness has to exist somewhere that can receive all that vision data, enough pixels to cover what you see. Not the raw data, but the modified data with the vision "glitches" we experience. That data exists in a very limited part of the brain, if the brain is an antenna it has to be sent from there, and sending it has to be structured enough that it hits exactly one consciousness and not the billions/trillions of others living nearby.
Whether you think that is possible is up to you. If that part of the brain had such a high bitrate antenna to send stuff we would probably have noticed by now, so I don't think it has that function.
- karmakaze 6y agoNot that I buy into this, but I can imagine being able to communicate using low bit-rate representations of a few archetypes and patterns/flavors of relations. Each receiver would reconstruct a different reimagining but should share some key elements when there's a 'connection' otherwise not.
