Mathematical Theory of Consciousness

Abstract

Robert Skopec

On the basis of this axioms we are proposing that consciousness is the result of a global workspace in the brain, which distributes information to the huge number of paralell unconscious processors forming a rest of the brain. Our theory is founded on the view that the brain is composed of many different paralell processors, or moduls, each capable of performing some task on the symbolic representations that it receives as input. The moduls are flexible in that they can combine to form new processors capable of performing novel tasks, and can decompose into a smaller component processors. Axiom A: The consciousness is a mathematical structure, with neurobiological semantics. Axiom B: The higher mental processes all correspond to well-defined but, at present, poorly understood information processing functions that are carried out by physical systems, our brains.
