Evolution of consciousness.

Evolution and Structure of Consciousness

Quantum World as Consciousness

By examining the consciousness in terms of reference frames in quantum dynamics, it will be shown that the unitary evolution of an arbitrary wavefunction, including that of the Universe, which one experiences, is the evolution within the observer’s consciousness.

Proposal for an Approach to Artificial Consciousness Based on Self-Consciousness

Current research on artificial consciousness is focused on phenomenal consciousness and on functional consciousness. We propose to shift the focus to self-consciousness in order to open new areas of investigation. We use an existing scenario where self-consciousness is considered as the result of an evolution of representations. Application of the scenario to the possible build up of a consciou...

Molecular Contiguity between Human and Animal Consciousness through Evolution: Some Considerations

This work suggests the possibility of the existence of contiguity in the molecular evolution of consciousness, between man and animal. From the experimental point of view and in terms of hypotheses, it seems that many elements lead to considerations about a common molecular evolutionary origin of the consciousness in animals and humans. It seems, also, evident that the increasing levels of comp...

The Co - Evolution of Matter and Consciousness 1

Theories about the evolution of consciousness relate in an intimate way to theories about the distribution of consciousness, which range from the view that only human beings are conscious to the view that all matter is in some sense conscious. Broadly speaking, such theories can be classified into discontinuity theories and continuity theories. Discontinuity theories propose that consciousness ...
