The foundation of the human mind and system is that we can only be in one
place at once, and can only be directly, fully conscious of that place. Our
world picture, which we and, I think, AI/AGI tend to take for granted, is
an extraordinary triumph over that limitation - our ability to conceive of
the earth and universe around us, and of societies around us, projecting
ourselves outward in space, and forward and backward in time. All animals
are similarly based in the here and now.
But,if only in principle, networked computers [or robots] offer the
possibility for a conscious entity to be distributed and in several places
at once, seeing and interacting with the world simultaneously from many
POV's.
Has anyone thought about how this would change the nature of identity and
intelligence?
