Scientific studies of consciousness rely on objects whose existence is assumed to be independent any consciousness. On the contrary, we assume fundamental, and that one main features characterized as being other-dependent. We set up a framework which naturally subsumes this feature by defining compact closed category where morphisms represent conscious processes. These are composition generator...

Despite many efforts, there are no computational models of consciousness that can be used to design conscious intelligent machines. This is mainly attributed to available definitions of consciousness being human centered, vague, and incomplete. Through a biological analysis of consciousness and concept of machine intelligence, we propose a physical definition of consciousness with the hope to m...

There are two concepts of consciousness, access consciousness and phenomenal consciousness. But just as the concepts of water and H2O are different concepts of the same thing, so the two concepts of consciousness might come to the same thing in the brain. Some recent papers by Crick and Koch raise issues that suggest that these two concepts of consciousness might have different (though overlapp...

Work on consciousness by neurophilosophers often leaves a certain group of other philosophers frustrated. The latter group of philosophers, which includes people such as believe that consciousness is something quite different from the brain circuitry or other processes that are active in cognition. They feel frustrated because work on consciousness by neurophilosophers usually ignore this view,...

This essay argues that Jamaica Kincaid’s The Autobiography of My Mother depicts how the indigenous colonized in Dominica are living ‘unhomely lives’ and that their experience is one of the double consciousness. i.e. when a person see the world through different "lenses." The person does not only have a dual personality but also feels the notion of having different roles in society, such as havi...

The traditional classification of the four states of consciousness waking stae, dream state, sleep state and transcendence state is combined through quantum states of mind ordinary perception, extra sensory perception and extra-ordinary perception to create a 12 state consciousness perception matrix. The paper elaborates on the concept and nature of the three quantum states of mind, their corre...

THE mechanism by which general anesthetics prevent consciousness remains unknown largely because the mechanism by which brain physiology produces consciousness is unexplained. But the two mysteries seem to share a critical feature—both consciousness and actions of anesthetic gases are mediated through extremely weak London forces (a type of van der Waals force) acting in hydrophobic pockets wit...
