@martinies,
Quote:Maybe something like spooky action is the root of consciousness
Marty I don't understand about dilation, nondirectionality, nonlocality, or superposition but it's quite clear how consciousness arises. It is a function of complexity. If a gadget were build with solid-state particles replacing each cell of the body, the resulting "machine" would surely express consciousness
The problem is a sort of duality that assumes some bodies have consciousness and other not. But that can't be true because nothing is entirely anything while everything is partly something else. In other words, small animals and other cellular accretions of various kinds possess consciousness but in a more nearly primeval form
