The Science of Consciousness: A New MBT Theory

Tom Campbell’s logic suggests that “There must be some evolved biological mechanism allowing a human avatar to think – As if it had a brain". Something must have naturally evolved from the rule set and initial conditions defining the “Big Digital Bang” to justify the avatar acting as if it had a brain that could support consciousness. Just as the evolution and subsequent discovery of bone, tendon and muscle represent PMR science that justifies a computed avatar being able to move its arms and legs. Remember, the Avatar doesn’t actually exist, it is “eye candy” computed by the rendering engine to give the players an accurate view of what is going on in the game. Brain, bone, tendon and muscle are not rendered unless they can be directly measured (exposed to view, say with an X-ray, or surgery)

Thus, playing an avatar with the apparent property of being conscious (able to think, feel, and react intellectually) must have a scientific (ruleset) justification that enables the avatar to act as if it had a brain that hosted consciousness.

Tom proposes, for one example, that Hameroff and Penrose’s work with microtubules may, if it is correct, explain the mechanism (the evolved VR rules) making it possible for the avatar to appear to be conscious. In other words, scientists may be on the path to discover “The virtual reality science (rules) that enables an individuated unit of consciousness to play a human avatar that appears to think. Just as scientists, long ago, discovered bone, tendon and muscle that allow an IUOC to play a virtual (computed eye candy) avatar that can move its arms and legs. This effort to understand how the ruleset eventually evolved a virtual human within the computed VR that would allow an IUOC to play it as if it were conscious, represents a valuable and important discovery within PMR science. Hats off to all who are making this effort.

Unfortunately, the scientists who do, one day, discover this PMR -VR mechanism will, most likely, wrongly believe that they have discovered how the brain creates consciousness. However, it is consciousness that creates the brain by computing an evolved virtual brain that allows a subset of consciousness (IUOC -FWAU) to play a virtual human eye-candy avatar that has the ability to act as if it is conscious.

Donald Hoffman: "The brain doesn't exist."

IUOC- Individuated Unit of Consciousness (The accumulator of experience )
FWAU- Free Will Awareness Unit (The experiencer )
PMR- Physical Matter Reality
TBC: This is the computer analogy Tom uses in his books to represent the consciousness system in science terms.
