A001: There's no where in that paper where the author stated the mind is a product of physical elements.
Don't say what a source never stated.
As I stated before, the mind is an emergent property of fundamental consciousness, the same position of the paper. The diagrams attached to my previous post already explains this.
Your position is starkly different from the author's. Physical particles and fields underly all phenomena. Pg 3 Then goes on to propose the particle senton as the fundamental particles underlying consciousness. I didn't say the author and I are saying the same thing, I said: at no point does it dissociate the mind from the physical elements that bring it forth. In fact it seeks to firmly establish the mind as an emergent property, albeit of more fundamental particles then we are used to. The author proposes that a new type of boson called the senton (from sentience) is responsible for consciousness. I am sure you understand that a boson is a physical fundamental particle. |

triplechoice: I will take my time to respond to that. Don't want to rush it.
But in the meantime, I hope you are aware your explanations in that post doesnt have full scientific backing. triplechoice: Your agbada is also hooked too .
You want to jest, yet, you have not been able to scientifically explain how mind has emerged from the brain, or clearly show how this 'mind ' interacts with the observable physical brain to control human behaviour
You still depend on the speculatory theory of some scientist to argue this. No doubt our knowledge of all the mechanisms of the mind is incomplete but all the evidence we currently have point in this direction. I await your specific objections, let's see what the knowledge base has to say about them. |

triplechoice: Before you start blaming anyone, first of all ,explain clearly how mind has emerged from the brain, and the other body parts you mentioned.
The claim that mind is an emergent property of brain function is based on Sperry's concept of mind.
It doesn't find full scientific support yet. It's speculatory theory at this point in time, and nothing more.
But you keep repeating it everywhere as fact, or something that has been conclusively proven to be true.
There is no general consensus in the sciences on how mind has emerged. Nobody knows or can explain it in the sciences On second thought I am not sure I need to write a treatise on this matter again since I already responded to it at length.

TenQ: It is not just about the word EMERGES but UNDERSTANDING how it is used and why it was used. This negates everything you've been saying. Anyone with a little understanding of surface tension sees how problematic your understanding is. 1. Which doesn't make sense
2. The problem is that you don't understand the concept of Wetness
3. There is no property of water that is an emergent property especially Wetness
4. Here I give you some definitions for the sake of comprehension .
It's not a crime to misunderstand science. Even me have to keep quiet when experts in certain fields of science are speaking.
I am not happy because what would have been an interesting conversation has been digressed into what is not necessary.
The Question of pounder is: 1. Is the Mind Real or it's just chemicals acting on biological matter? 2. If the Mind is real can it be measured? 3. If the mind is just chemicals acting on matter, then it may not be real. It is just a symptom of chemicals acting on biological matter. LMAO! Here we go again with the rigmarole. Not going to engage in that with you. You brought Chatgpt and gave you a Chatgpt explanation clearly showing how wetness is an emergent property but you can argue with yourself if you wish, certainly not with me. |

A001: I expected you to at least read those materials above to update your knowledge on consciousness. Your views on the subject are getting obsolete.
You assume you understand what you're arguing about, but you don't have the slightest idea.

A001: And where does the functioning of the body emerge from? I don't know how you want to rule out consciousness sha.
And I hope you're not making the mistake of thinking complexity yields consciousness. What do you mean by where does the functioning of the body emerge from? The body emerges from an embryo. Are saying an embryo has consciousness? |

triplechoice: . You already made it clear initially that wetness' only emerges when molecules of water are interacting with one another. You are confusing us I guess my explanation was incomplete but you guys seem to getting sidetracked by the omission, What is being conveyed, very succinctly, is wetness EMERGES, it is not an intrinsic property of water. |

A001: The mind-body problem: A longstanding question in philosophy examining the relationship between the mind and the body, or more specifically, the relationship between mental phenomena and physical phenomena. The mind-body problem raises fundamental inquiries about the nature of consciousness, subjective experience, and their connection to the physical world.
For an overview, check this out: https://www.blackwellpublishing.com/content/bpl_images/content_store/sample_chapter/0631217746%5Cstich-001.pdf For me the question is resolved by understanding that the mind emerges from the functioning of the body, there is no dualism at play here (as far as I am concerned). I think it is people who are trying to reconcile a dualistic view of mind and body that have the problem. |

triplechoice: The ' chatgpt result' doesn't fully support your explanation.
If a surface is coated with grease, 'wetness' cannot emerge when water comes in contact with it, meaning that water on its own cannot emerge 'wetness' The point is, since you are getting lost in the weeds, wetness EMERGES, it is not an intrinsic property of any of the interacting components. |

TenQ: No sir.
You were the one who did NOT comprehend what ChatGPT was saying.
According to your ChatGPT attachment, Wetness was defined in terms of ability to 1. Ability of a substance to adhere to another surface and create a film on it 2. Polar water molecules forming hydrogen bond on the surface in question 3. This property is NOT intrinsic to the water molecules itself, but rather emerges from the interaction between water molecules and other molecules in the environment
Please read the last sentence of your ChatGPT attachment and dispute about it as usual.
You should laugh at yourself Count how many times I bolded the word EMERGES in my previous posts. I did that because that is the operative word and idea I am passing across. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Did The Mind Evolve From Chemistry, Matter And Energy? by LordReed(m): 4:21pm On Jun 06, 2023 |
TenQ: Of course water wets Objects: probably you don't understand what ChatGPT was saying.
You were of the opinion that
"So, get it straight, wetness EMERGES when molecules of water are acting in concert with one another, wetness does not exist in the molecules of water."
This is very wrong
Water wets Objects!
There is no dry water! LMAO Chatgpt is wrong because it contradicts what you believe? Bwahahahahahaha! |
Christianity Etc › Re: Did The Mind Evolve From Chemistry, Matter And Energy? by LordReed(m): 4:13pm On Jun 06, 2023 |
TenQ: I'm not sure where you got this That is telling you that wetness EMERGES from interaction. It is not a property of water molecules themselves. Added a chatgpt result for your consideration.

TenQ: Dictionary definition Wetness: consisting of, containing, covered with, or soaked with liquid (such as water)
Wetness is an adjective to describe a state when an OBJECT is coated with water.
It is nonsensical to say wet water except if you can have dry water. Why? In a general definition of wetness Water is the "only" liquid that makes an object WET!
Is there any situation when a pool of water is wet? No!
|
Christianity Etc › Re: Did The Mind Evolve From Chemistry, Matter And Energy? by LordReed(m): 1:23pm On Jun 06, 2023 |
TenQ: Your example is NOT good at all. Why?
Water is the substance that can make other things wet, but it is not typically considered wet on its own. Instead, we usually describe water as a liquid or as being capable of wetting other substances.
When water clings to an object, the object is said to be WET. That is, the property of water sticking to an object is what is called wetness of the object The wetness of water is an emergent property because H2O molecules themselves are not wet in fact you need at least 6 molecules of water before that property of wetness becomes apparent. So, get it straight, wetness EMERGES when molecules of water are acting in concert with one another, wetness does not exist in the molecules of water. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Did The Mind Evolve From Chemistry, Matter And Energy? by LordReed(m): 1:02pm On Jun 06, 2023 |
TenQ: Emergent means coming out of Property means attribute, quality of something
Meaning that the Mind doesn't exist by itself. But if it cannot be quantified, how can it be said to exist?
Mass, Gravitational force, Magnetic fields etc are all measurable physical properties. Can the Mind be measured? The wetness of water is an emergent property. Meaning wetness doesn't exist by itself, how can water be wet since wetness cannot be quantified, how can it be said to exist? |

TenQ: I guess your definition is a cryptic as ever ! Mind emerging property from where? Reaction between chemicals or interaction of chemicals with molecules?
It looks vague because how can we prove that your comprehension of this post is emerging property from something? What is cryptic about what I clearly already stated: LordReed: Mind as far as we know is the emergent property of the workings of the brain and other parts of the body, |
Christianity Etc › Re: Did The Mind Evolve From Chemistry, Matter And Energy? by LordReed(m): 12:10pm On Jun 06, 2023 |
TenQ: Are you saying that the mind is the electrical impulses measured in the brain?
How can the mind be real when it cannot be measured (except you believe the mind is electricity)?
NDEs show that it seems that consciousness can exist even when brain signals is zero!
Imaging patterns of the brain are measured electrical signals, what do you think is the cause: chemicals!? No, I am saying mind is an emergent property. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Did The Mind Evolve From Chemistry, Matter And Energy? by LordReed(m): 11:01am On Jun 06, 2023 |
TenQ: I am not sure we have: this is about the reality of the mind and not the soul.
Is the mind real? Is there an objective evidence for it?
Is the mind just simply chemicals acting on biological matter? Ok. Mind as far as we know is the emergent property of the workings of the brain and other parts of the body, It is real and somewhat measurable in that the impulses the brain produces correspond to states of mind that are similar in all individuals. Can your exact thoughts be viewed externally? No but the state of you mind always matches particular brain scan/imaging patterns that can be viewed. |
