DEFINITION: Abstract Logic of Life
info= change
memory= info within the system
A= info input
B= memory(A)
C= reaction(B)
D= output(B)-> A
E= reaction(D)
INTERPRETATION: The Four Laws of Everything
1st: any system with 'B', i.e. memory(input), is flexible system, it has evolutionary potential
2nd: any system with 'C', i.e. reaction(memory), can act life-like, e.g. spring, shape memory alloy..
3rd: any system with 'D', i.e. "processing power", can evolve memory internally with self-input
4th: any system with 'E', i.e. reaction(output), can appear intelligent, e.g. monkeys, humans, cats...
EXPLANATION: Flexibility is Everything
flexibility is function of elasticity, moving parts and their degrees of freedom. flexibility is ability to change or mutate, it is therefore "evolutionary potential". flexibility provides memory storage and maximum information capacity is a function of flexibility. simultaneously, information volatility or system sensitivity is directly proportional to flexibility, as well as is resistance, resilience, adaptivity, durability, reactivity and liveliness, or potential thereof.
The Life, Living and Dying...
- life is motion, animation, change over time
- alive is any system with average increase of information within
- alive is any evolving system, growing in shape or internal complexity
life is both, alive and dead, living and dying, learning and forgetting, yin and yang... the amount of information that leaves, enters or evolves/devolves inside the system defines degrees or amount of life, where loss of information is dying and gain of information defines living system. life is temporal change and therefore definition heavily depends on durations and time intervals considered, this introduces concepts such as: dormant, hibernating and life-like.
==========================================================================
Hello,
The first point is to show how "life" and mental processes are not something to be measured in boolean with yes/no, but rather with floating point or percentage. The second point is to define all of the following in the terms of information technology and above virtual definition using concepts of information: input<->memory<->output->reaction:
cognition consciousness perception reflex detection emotion feeling thought instinct anticipation decision acknowledgment knowledge willingness comprehension intelligence awareness intuition recognition intention sensation mind self-awareness
e.g.
A= sensation, detection, feeling...
B= perception, emotion, acknowledgment...
C= reflex, awareness, instinct...
D= thought, intention, consciousness, mind...
E= willingness, decision, intelligence...
The third point is about Turnig machines, determinism, quantum uncertainty, algorithmic predictability, "free will" or "active will", possibility of simulation of self-awareness and about practical means to measure it. The bonus point is to define and try to answer the concepts of anticipation, intuition, prediction and prophecy.
