How time flies. I finished the last post with the words “To be continued” and now I find it’s three years later! But in the meantime I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and reading, especially about quantum physics, and in this respect I’ve just finished a really good book called “Beyond Weird”, by Philip… Continue reading A short history of the universe – and the brain of God!

Information, quantum theory, entropy and other weird stuff
In the last blog I claimed that consciousness is an emergent property of a complex information system and that conscious experience is caused by our mental model observing itself recursively. To Chalmers’ question what is it like to be conscious I’d have to answer, well, actually, it’s like having a little man in my head… Continue reading Information, quantum theory, entropy and other weird stuff

Well here we go… Consciousness, it seems to me, is simply information organised in such a way that it observes itself. I’m proposing that the way the mind works is in terms of a model or simulation of the known… Continue reading The Hard Problem
