Would you be familiar with these qbits, and if so could you elaborate on them a bit? |
Hello NB:
Once again I wish I could be of help. This is not my following.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qubit
This is a term that applies to a system that is used by the group in AI that follow the idea of finding the basis of consciousness and understanding within a neuron networking type of system that is a massively parallel system of extremely large words. The single word may be hundreds of bits as opposed to the 32 and 64 bit normal systems. There is also an unknown state in addition to the 1 and 0 states. This system is a design that came as a result of studies of the cellular neuron systems of the brain.
Not all of the AI followers believe in this system. I am not a follower of this system. I believe that the neuron network as discovered within the brain is the point that a single dimensional consciousness can interface to the 3 dimensions of space that we live within. This is the point of interface between the sequential operating consciousness that we all experience and the parallel experience of this 3 dimensional space.
To simplify this statement:
IMO,
I feel the basic system is a single dimensional sequential consciousness. The parallel system of neurons is the IO interface. There may also be more than one sequential function, but there is only one that is in control.
