Consciousness Through the Resolution of Infinities
Ron Cottam, Nils Langloh, Willy Ranson & Roger Vounckx
Is consciousness an inherent aspect of nature, independent of the
progress of evolution, or is it the unpredictably emergent child of evolution
itself, independent of nature's precursors? We argue that neither of these
simplifications tells the, or tells a, whole story, and that consciousness is
neither a monolithic phenomenon nor a fragmented accident. We propose that our
environment as we observe it is associated in all its characteristics with the
inability of nature to self-consistently stabilize either locally or globally
without first resolving its infinite recursions of self-representation. We
accept the probable validity of Robert Rosen's explanations of both Newton's and
life itself's successes through the short-circuiting of infinite creational
nestings, and extend this view back to a rationalization of the 'Big Bang'
proposition and forwards to the ultimate emergence of consciousness 'as we know
it'. In doing so, we establish the ubiquity of a scalar multiplication of points
of view and the importance of hyper-scalarity in defining the nature of
intelligence, sapience and causality.
