PART 1: A work exploring notes and ideas on the nature of consciousness
By breaking down various elements into stages, we can examine the distinct parts that form the fundamental principles of consciousness. Treating consciousness like any other organized system allows us to identify the key components that contribute to its structure. Imagine countless such units interacting within a cognitive space.
To clarify this, I’ve illustrated how a moment of thought can be viewed using previous data. In my representation, I aimed to simplify a stage 1 unit by detailing its functional parts. When we seek information to address a problem, we activate memory areas in both sides of the brain. The relevant information is filtered and sent down neural pathways until it reaches our awareness, leading to a solution.
I depict this process as a series of random information acquisitions moving through several operational stages, ultimately reaching our conscious mind. The subsequent illustrations further highlight the intricate nature of a single moment of thought.
Cellular Memory
Consciousness involves processing both conceptual ideas and the information we perceive. By studying consciousness, we can gain insights not only about how it works, but also about how to approach understanding it better.
From previous discussions, we’ve learned that to understand unusual conditions (anomalies), we can break down the information into stages. This helps identify which specific brain systems are affected.
For example, if a condition impacts the brain’s language centers, we would classify it as a Stage 3 issue. If it affects how the brain processes sensory information, that would be a Stage 2 issue.
The key point is to start with a basic awareness. By establishing normal perceptual parameters (NPP), we create a solid foundation for observing and analyzing further.
Because consciousness deals with the processing of conceptual and perceptual information we can learn as much from it as we can about it. We can summarize from some of my earlier samples that, in order to explain anomalies we can use this information to isolate exactly what brain systems have been affected by breaking the the anomalies into stage one two or three parcepts. An example would be if the illness affected language centers in the brain we would know it to be a stage 3 parcept. If it were affecting sensory information in the brain it would be a stage 2 parcept and so on. The principal feature in these examples is rudimentary awareness by creating normal perceptual parameters (NPP) we may construct a sound base for observation and analysis.
