Do I understand IIT theory of consciousness correctly?
As far as I understand, to identify a conscious subject, you take a snapshot of two systems, for example cat and human standing next to each other. Then we look at the weakest cut between them, their minimum information partition, which is probably going to be at the gap between them. We score that gap, partition human into subsets by identifying the weakest internal cut inside a human and score it. The cut we made between human body parts scores higher, meaning the candidate that is “human parts” is more integrated than the candidate “human and cat”, yielding a winner.
Is it true that neural networks are based on how human brains work?
It can’t be true, our brain seems vastly superior to any other organ of any other organism on Earth and the universe, it is vastly more capable, adaptive and creative. I doubt that neural networks are even capable of forming concepts that we do, they are forever “cognitively locked” from grasping the truths that we grasp
What is the status of the set of initial conditions for superdeterminism?
Hello. I was wondering if the set of initial conditions that makes superdeterminism hold is mathematically well-formed, exists and possesses the right evolution for the formation of the world that we see, assuming that QM events are fully coincidental events that aren’t caused by any underlying mechanism. Basically, assume that QM events are just conspiratorially arranged to mimic QM, integrated over infinite time and space (assuming the universe is infinite in these dimensions).
