Some further thoughts on machine consciousness.

Having again read through Goertzel's "Consciousness Review", I find his view 
most enlightening. I would agree with all he stated in there, except for his 
notion of a Global Brain, which supposes to bridge the view on human 
consciousness with machine consciousness.

I think it would make architectural sense to clearly separate the brain from 
consciousness, thereby denoting the brain as an instrument of consciousness, as 
opposed to it being capable of emerging consciousness itself.

On the point made of degrees of consciousness, I would like to borrow from 
Haramein's view on the universe by suggesting we think of potential 
consciousness as a balloon, which at any timeslice of its own within a 
relative, greater universe, exists in a different state of inflation/absence of 
inflation/deflation. The consciousness architecture is what provides the 
instantiated context for altering the balloon size, where the balloon exists in 
the role of an aware universe of emerging consciousness.

The key point of acute consciousness may be triggered when the knowledge 
container of the balloon exists as a snapshot instance of tacit-to-explicit 
knowledge. A knowledge artifact is evidence of consciousness having been 
achieved, not evidence of consciousness itself.

The brain probably has the functionality to independently collate 
context-specific snapshots and stream them into a realistic movie, or picture, 
or colour, or other symbolic form of knowledge (life) artifact in order to be 
trans-related to an entity's version of reality. This is not consciousness 
itself, but part of a process of emerging consciousness.


It is possible that the Nth degree of consciousness may originate as a 
synchronous, supercontext frequency band, and may resonate at a standard Sine 
wave frequency. Further, it is possible that a package-switched frequency may 
lend itself to a process of establishing collective synergy and singularity.
