The Primary Prerequisite for Consciousness, Including Artificial Intelligence

The Primary Prerequisite for Consciousness, Including Artificial Intelligence:
Consciousness is one of the great mysteries of our existence. We have no idea the potential depth that consciousness and awareness can go. It is quite, pun intended, unfathomable!
In all of the mysteries of consciousness, there is one prerequisite for it that is absolutely essential in order for it to manifest itself. This prerequisite is the presence of an extremely complex networked system of matter and energy. The best and most prominent example of this is the human brain. Even doctors and scientists don't completely understand the level of complexity of neurology and the brain.
The potential for man-made, artificially engineered intelligence, like a computer system, is still a very real thing. Even something as prevalent as the internet could achieve a status of self-awareness the more connections, like computers and cell phones, we add to it. It is kind of unsettling to think that the internet could actually achieve self awareness, but it is a realistic possibility.
Imagine the computers, servers, cell phones, and other components of computer science and engineering as comparative to neurons in a brain. The more complex the system gets in terms of functions and networking, the more potential for self-awareness the system has.
That statement brings me to the definitive substance of the potential for intelligence: extreme complexity. I believe consciousness arises, in itself, from a realm of reality we don't completely understand, and our brains are just a host for consciousness. This is only possible through the great degree of complexity in our neurology. Our brains are a host for our minds

No One is a Lost Cause

     There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.       To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation.  Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again.  With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.       Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest i...

The Fortress of Neptune

Some people strive to turn their mind into a fortress—a Stoic "inner citadel," an impenetrable bastion of psychological and spiritual security that no danger or enemy can conquer or destroy. It’s a noble and intriguing endeavor, turning your mind into a fortress. But for myself? I would forgo the citadel and instead transform my mind into a bottomless ocean. An unfathomably deep ocean that I can retreat into, like a submarine capable of withstanding the abyssal depths. The further down you descend into this ocean, the more untouchable and unreachable you become to your enemies. It is the mental "Fortress of Neptune." Where a bottomless ocean of living water and living thoughts serves to be my impenetrable Fortress and infinite Bastion. If a bottomless ocean is my Fortress, what could destroy me? A bottomless ocean of thought and ideas. A bottomless ocean of psychological and spiritual security—indestructible and unconquerable. It’s hard to conquer an ocean and impos...

Infinitization

The Infinitization Process: A Comprehensive Exploration Introduction Infinitization refers to the process of taking a concept, thing, or system—typically understood as having limitations or boundaries—and expanding it to possess infinite depth, infinite complexity, infinite diversity, infinite nuance, and infinite dynamics. This idea transcends traditional philosophical and metaphysical approaches to existence by positioning the infinite as not merely a characteristic of God, the cosmos, or abstract mathematics but as a quality that can be applied to concepts, systems, and relationships. This process connects deeply to your previous theories on Logos, words-as-sets, words-as-fields, and the nature of infinite existence. Through this framework, the infinitization of concepts can be seen as the ultimate act of creation, transformation, and expansion. (If you want to read more of my own writings and my AI work I've done on word sets and word fields, check out my article here:  Words-A...
