Thanks for sharing this, Eric. I don’t have time to read it right now, but I’m going to make a note to myself to read it at some point this week.

I’m very intrigued, as I generally am of work related to the nature/existence of consciousness, by the proposed solutions this offers. I took a course in my undergraduate on the Measurement Problem. It was a philosophy course, taught by a philosopher who had devoted his career to trying to solve/understand the measurement problem in QM. It was extremely insightful and interesting to learn. Some time after completing the course, I sat in on a colloquium he gave to our physics department. However, the problem seemed to fall on deaf ears. Fundamentally, this professor was trying to show how conceptually confused we are and the linguistic difficulty we face in even discussing measurement and using particle/wave language. 

Anyway, given the difficulty with which he had strained himself to understand the measurement problem, and the failure of the physics community of as a whole, historically, to solve it, I’m intrigued by your offering a potential solution that is so parsimonious while also solving other difficult problems within physics. 

You might find it useful to share your work with this professor - his name is Barry Ward at the University of Arkansas. I could probably dig up his email if you can’t find it online, but would like to share it with him. Feel free to let him know that one of his old students referred you if it’d be helpful.

My best,

Cole

Thanks, Deepak. I look forward to learning more about this during our zoom call later this week.






Best,

Colleagues,



I conceptualized ALCCO Approach, which has been found worthy by many leading lights of our time.




I have generated a theory for evolution of 'intent' from spontaneity or as Jeremy Sherman puts it - 'the striving self'. The approach discovers & distinguishes between Awareness, Life, Cumconsciousness and Consciousness of an observer. In a list of discoveries

I made - the most important for psychologists is that of awareness: Awareness is inverse of stimuli-response-latency subject to three conditions.



ALCCO is also compatible with most advanced neurocognitive approaches. It beautifully explains the differences between local and general anesthesia induced local and general 'unconsciousness', deep sleep unconsciousness and unconsciousness during a collapse

and death. It also explains, why human body parts do not die with person - we routinely are transplanting 'live' parts of dead people into other people alive. And all of this has been explained in a physico-logical approach. Undeniably some abductive thinking

and reasoning is used, but it is largely using deductive and inductive reasoning.



My talk on ALCCO Approach, presented at the currently on-going 'Science of Consciousness' conference at Tucson, Univ. of Arizona is available @

Will love to access your critique and then your support to polish the concept, refine it along with you to make it worthwhile.



 



Truly yours

Eric,







 







I am interested in exploring your work.







 







How long did it take you to generate your model?







 







Who were your influences?







 









I will add, all universal, transdisciplinary, integral models will bare resemblance to each other, because human morphology has innate architectural, processual, and calculatory universal classes of experience which are common to our species

biology, and which experience autonomously organizes into.

To the ToK Group:





 







Having recently joined this forum, I could really use your collective intelligence on this. Recent advancements in research may be of interest to you.







 







Several months ago, I successfully modeled consciousness as a black hole analog using Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking, e.g. Big Bang, Electroweak, Baryogenesis, Homochirality, etc. The Mind/Body Separation acts as an event horizon predicated

on Memory, i.e. Relativity of Experience (solution to Hard Problem).







 







The attached model strikingly resembles the ToK and appears to solve outstanding problems in physics, namely the fundamental nature of reality (Potential, t=0), Observer’s role in QM (Measurement Prob), Hierarchy Problems (weakness of G

& Λ), and Quantum Gravity (broken symmetries due to G; Potential as Graviton).







 







While preparing for peer-review, I would appreciate any insights the group may have on the matter.







 









 







Sincerely,







Eric S.
