Recently I've been considering whether consciousness could be better understood as a form of information processing that emerges from the interaction between quantum and classical systems. The interesting part isn't the individual components, but rather the patterns that emerge at the boundaries between different levels of complexity.
If we model social systems as complex networks of information exchange, could we predict emergent cultural phenomena using entropy calculations?
The paradox of free will might be resolved by considering it as an emergent property of deterministic systems. Still working on the math for this one.
What if language isn't just a tool for communication but a fundamental property of information systems? Need to explore implications for AI consciousness.
Exploring the possibility that consciousness is a fundamental property of information processing systems above a certain complexity threshold.
Working hypothesis: Reality might be fundamentally composed of information rather than matter or energy. This would explain several quantum mechanical paradoxes, though it raises questions about the nature of observation.
If consciousness is an emergent property, it should be possible to describe it mathematically using recursive functions. Current challenge: Dealing with the halting problem in self-referential systems.
Developing a framework for identifying isomorphic patterns across different domains. The mathematics of music might share underlying structures with protein folding.
Investigating whether quantum entanglement can be understood as an information transmission mechanism. Could explain non-locality and wave function collapse.
Sometimes I wonder if my tendency to see everything as interconnected systems is just my brain's pattern-matching gone into overdrive. Then again, the fact that this perspective consistently yields interesting results suggests there might be something to it. Though I suppose that observation itself could be another pattern...
