But in this article Wolfram's view on consciousness occurs to be nothing more than a bunch of abstraction layers put together in a badly baked Lasagna.
For anyone who is computationally minded, I believe by just having a psychedlic experience one would gain mucher greater insight into the intricacies of consciousness than reading articles like this.
I highly doubt without constant experimentation with psychedlics one can come up with anything computationally insightful about consciousness, espeically theroies and mathematical models with practical applications in emerging fields such as BCI
e.g.
- models about how the brain's (sub)conscious attention mechanism works and how it plays a part in the (sub)conscious process of habit forming
- models about the conscious percpetion of time and how can one go about slowing it down or speeding it up and how will that play out in the (sub)conscious memory encoding and decoding processes
I believe the study of consciousness ultimiately resolves around the study of cybernetics in a none-ergodicity system within a certain set of constraint satisfactions. I think perhaps one can even apply frameworks such as homotopy type theory (HoTT) for a certain categorical formalization.
