monotonic said:The path from Gravity to Consciousness is parallel to the path from Information to Consciousness. So what if Gravity "Utilized" arranges Information by Truth becoming Consciousness?
I know that an avalanche could be seen as a "utilization" of gravity, resulting in a new arrangement, but whether the arrangement corresponds to truth is up for grabs. But what can "utilize" gravity if gravity is a precursor to consciousness?

Notice definitions 1, 4, and 6. I suggested that truth is corresponding information, and that corresponding information forms patterns. If information aggregates matter, then maybe matter arises from corresponding information?
Are thoughts the arrangement of information? Thoughts can be true or untrue. The C's say that believing lies fractures consciousness. Believing lies causes untrue thoughts. What if thoughts are arrangements of information, which can correspond or not, being true or not? Thus, believing truth mends and increases consciousness.
What if True Thoughts are Gravity Utilized? This agrees with Gravity Utilized causing Light. All this seems to point to information correspondence causing gravity, but I feel something does not add up.
Is Knowledge Stored Thought?
It seems to me that Knowledge is internal information. If this information corresponds to outer information, there is gravity, and this causes awareness. The amount of internal Truth will determine the external Truth one can be aware of. Without internal Truth, one is not aware of the external Truth. When lies are internalized, one cannot be aware of Truth, and the possibility of the internal knowledge corresponding with external knowledge at all diminishes.
There are plenty of loops in there. Can some of these loops represent feedback or self-regulation? Is there a distinction between these loops when used for self-regulation and when used for self-destruction?
Some things can be added (I may not have gotten these all right):
Memory is increased by Being
Non-being
center of non-being, forces of entropy
Emotional, intellectual, sexual centers, etc.
Atomic particles corresponding to centers
antimatter
lies/untruth/false knowledge
belief
belief in lies, false knowledge fractures consciousness
faith
viruses (are thoughts)
Knowledge protects
Ignorance endangers
To Know is to Love is Light
Knowledge Utilized/Applied generates Light
Attention, fixes outcomes
mariowil7 said:In relation to the discussion of:
Programer, Conciousness, Information, Hardware, Software etc... in the context of Soul, Mind and Body. It will be intresting
for us to review the concept of the Turing Machine... Here is one definition that can give light to the
concepts above disscussed.
What's a Turing Machine?
A Turing Machine is a theoretical computer consisting of a tape of infinite length and a read-write head which can move left and right across the tape. When started, a Turing machine executes a series of discrete transitions, as determined by its transition table and by the initial characters on the tape. For each transition, the machine checks what state it is in and what character is written on the tape below the head. Based on those, it then changes to a new state, writes a new character on the tape, and moves the head one space left or right. The machine stops after transferring to the special HALT state. So, a transition table for a 2-state TM might look like this:
| State 1 | State 2
"x" | 2, y, right | 1, y, left
"y" | 2, x, left | halt, x, right
So, for instance, if the machine was in state 1 and an "x" was the current character, it would write a "y", move right, and enter state 2. If it were in state 2 looking at a "y", it would write an "x", move right, and halt. Technically, a valid TM should have an action defined for every state/character pair that might occur. The simulator applet implicitly halts if it finds no transition that applies to its current situation.
However odd it may sound for so simple a machine, the Turing Machine is the most powerful computing model known to computer scientists. In this context, "powerful" refers only to what it is capable of doing, not to how fast or efficiently it does it. It has been proven that a TM is capable of performing any computation that a modern computer can, given enough time. Infact, it is technically MORE powerful than modern computers, since it has no storage limitations.
Classically, a Turing Machine is thought of as having its tape bounded on the left but extending infinitely to the right, though its power is not expanded by making it unbounded on both ends. The simulator, of course, is bounded on both ends, which is really the only detail that makes it a simulator and not the real thing. In addition, the classical TM has 4-tuple transitions: (state, character) --> (new state, new character OR direction), meaning that it cannot both write a character and move the head in the same transition. The 5-tuple transitions used in the applet make things a bit simpler and do not actually change the power of the machine, but a 4-tuple machine can be simulated if desired.
_http://ironphoenix.org/tril/tm/help/basics.shtml
Here is the Turing Simulator: _http://ironphoenix.org/tril/tm/ (I recomendo to play with it to get the concept)
Some Wiki Link usefull: _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_machine
and of course the more recent advances in the concept of Programming Language for Turing machines.
The Language is called "BRAINFUCK" dessigned to confuse Programmers... _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck
I think that the well understanding of the turing machine wil shed light in the Diagrams Folks... (I did not fully understud it Yet).
Cheers!!!...
mariowil7 said:Guayacobol!,
Yes I have an ideia...
it is something that I learned in the University called STATE DIAGRAMS... and very related to CHARTS, Graphs and all that sort of things...
At the time when I learned State-Diagrams it was to apply it to Design Micro-chips, CPUs, and all that jazz...
actually the theory of Electronics Circuits applied to Micro-Chips is partially based on those concepts...
They call it: MACHINE STATE DIAGRAMS using Boolean Logic. _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_diagram
"A state diagram is a type of diagram used in computer science and related fields to describe the behavior of systems. State diagrams require that the system described is composed of a finite number of states; sometimes, this is indeed the case, while at other times this is a reasonable abstraction. Many forms of state diagrams exist, which differ slightly and have different semantics.
State diagrams are used to give an abstract description of the behavior of a system. This behavior is analyzed and represented in series of events, that could occur in one or more possible states. Hereby "each diagram usually represents objects of a single class and track the different states of its objects through the system".[1]
State diagrams can be used to graphically represent finite state machines. This was introduced by C.E. Shannon and W. Weaver in their 1949 book "The Mathematical Theory of Communication". Another source is Taylor Booth in his 1967 book "Sequential Machines and Automata Theory". Another possible representation is the State transition table."

Example1: DFA, NFA, GNFA, or Moore machine

Example2: Mealy machine

I'm working in the fully understanding of the Turing Simulator.
After that I will try to make Analogies to the Rich discussion that was started here... Related to charts, Cosmic Mind, Truth, Data, Conciousness.
It will take a little bit of time... but I think that it is worth...
Stay Tuned.

Q: (L) Next question on the list: How do consciousness, information, and matter relate to each other?
A: Different concentrations of truth.
Q: (L) So I'm assuming you mean that matter would be one concentration, and consciousness would be another, and information like maybe pure information would be the purest form?
A: Not necessarily, information arranged by a truth becomes consciousness. That is why truth and objectivity are so important. Without it, consciousness and individuality fractures and disintegrates.
Q: ... (Belibaste) I have a question that might go in the right direction. During the last session, it was established that if a human population believes in information that is orthogonal to truth, that is, lies, then it can modulate cosmic events. To understand better the mechanism, I wanted to know where information is stored?
A: Consciousness.

Could someone explain what consciousness exactly is? I searched casssessions and the Forum to see what the C's said about it, but everything is very vague ...
