What is consciousness made of? - 05-31-2007, 01:11 AM

Are we talking beyond black body radiation, photons, wave mechanics, fields, Particles?
What is consciousness made of. (What's the matter?)


(George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words.

"All things come out of the one and the one out of all things." - Heraclitus
"Reality is an illusion - albeit a persistent one." - Einstein
"Particles give me a headache." - Ibid

I would think it consists of layer 7. It knows nothing of lower layers. Layers exchange information via parcels that meet a standard. Layers do not communicate with each other but operate as clearing houses. The whole thing is an electro-chemical factory that has developed thru natural Selection to meet the current challenges of survival.

But then again, how do I consciously know this ?


7) Application : Provides different services to the applications

6) Presentation : Converts the information

5) Session : Handles problems which are not communication issues

4) Transport : Provides end to end communication control

3) Network : Routes the information in the network

2) Data Link : Provides error control between adjacent nodes

1) Physical : Connects the entity to the transmission media
