      Research-wise (i.e. technology/methodology limitations), how far are we from measuring von Neumann entropy integrated (approximately ofc) over a neuron? I wonder when testing this hypothesis could become viable, if ever. Obviously huge resource costshttps://twitter.com/mlegls/status/1255910487767707649?s=20 …

      yes @mlegls
      Replying to @mlegls @milkbutcher
      My hypothesis stated directly is that the phenomenal experience of Will/attention/awareness correlates directly with (quantum) entropy. This happens at multiple levels though; just as ensemble-definitions for entropy aren't mutually exclusive, nor is conscious awareness.

      Or perhaps, are there indirect ways to *compare* quantum entropy? How does it relate to properties of macroscopic systems? I wonder if the comparison between sleeping & waking brain can't already be done, kind of. Looking for literature, not your shitty takes (unless physicist)

      I wonder if it's not even just a "quantum" thing. By similar intuitions to this, I could relate awareness not just to waveforms, but to statistical ensembles in general. But that's super far-off & vague speculation that most likely leads nowhere.https://twitter.com/_StevenFan/status/1207547203553644545?s=20 …

      The waveform has a holistic representation of the particle-environment system. There's subject-object(ish*) relation (*the system is NOT divisible) with the particle-wave containing the whole information about the system, but still being a particle distinct from surroundings.

      my own vague speculation is that ensembles could support complex waveforms. CNS all have inputs into conscious awareness from many sub-consciousnesses. everyday experience of consciousness isn't a property that is spread over the whole brain

      Some children are born with out a cortex! These children have (hyper) emotional lives and possess discriminative awareness. They also have music preferences, recognize people, have appropriate affective responses, and can associativity learn.

          the nimita jhanas 1-4 also demonstrate this: sensory consciousness is supressed jhanas 5-8 continue to strip away additional minds away from awareness 9 being equivalent to unconscious sleep spitballing in this thread, @NoaidiX has a good follow uphttps://twitter.com/_StevenFan/status/1251289449444466688 …

          not having experienced formless spheres I can only speculate on the quality of awareness: I'm speculating a cholergenic area in the pontine tegmentum (if I remember correctly), related to REM sleep and when lesioned produces unconsciousness, might be related to arupa jhanas.

          engineering intuition -> hypothesis there's a small region responsible for everyday conscious awareness.
