Phenomenal weightless machines

چکیده
This paper describes how early designs of dynamic weightless neural systems were developed to enable some of the states of a state structure to have a phenomenal character. Such states reflect the features of a sensory reality and allow the storage of aspects of sensory experience and access to it. The ‘machine consciousness’ paradigm is summarised in this paper. The paper concludes with a description of the current state-of-the-art of a phenomenal approach to a model of consciousness which is based on the first of a set of introspective

Learning state prediction using a weightless neural explorer
A weightless neural state machine acting as an exploratory automaton changes its position in a simulated toy world by its own actions. A popular question is asked: how might the automaton ‘become conscious of’ the effect of its own actions? Here we develop previously defined iconic learning in such weightless machines so that this knowledge can be achieved. Weightlessness, iconic learning are e...
متن کاملWeightless: The Technology to Finally Realise the M2M Vision
The value in machines having wireless communications has long been understood and a large market predicted for many years. That this has not transpired has been because of the difficulty of meeting all the requirements for machine communications within the constraints of the available radio spectrum. These constraints changed significantly with the advent of white space which provides near-perf...
متن کاملIsidoro Soloaga, joint with Giorgio Barba Navaretti Weightless Machines and Costless Knowledge An Empiricl Analysis of Trade and Technology Diffusion
This paper examines the impact of imported technologies on productivity for a sample of developing and transition countries in Central and Eastern Europe and in the Southern Mediterranean. These economies are getting more and more integrated to the European Union. The paper departs from earlier studies of international technology diffusion as it focuses on the technology embodied in the machine...
متن کاملExperimental Methods for Unraveling the Mind–Body Problem: The Phenomenal Judgment Approach
A rigorous approach to the study of the mind–body problem is suggested. Since humans are able to talk about consciousness (produce phenomenal judgments), it is argued that the study of neural mechanisms of phenomenal judgments can solve the hard problem of consciousness. Particular methods are suggested for: (1) verification and falsification of materialism; (2) verification and falsification o...
متن کاملTridimensional Pattern Reconstruction by Using Weightless Artificial Neural Networks
1. ABSTRACT This paper describes the structure and behavior of a system, composed by a set of weightless artificial neural networks, which is capable of learning different images and then reconstructing an image according to the closest learned pattern. This paper presents a technique which considers Hamming distance for pattern learning and reconstruction, therefore it is posible to study the ...
