An Ergodic Theory of Consciousness
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has been suggested that the properties of “integration” and “differentiation” are necessary for the emergence of consciousness. We present a dynamical system model that is based on these two conditions. The collection of neurons are partitioned into clusters on which we define a map that reflects the communication between clusters. Such a map displays the forward and backward circuitry between clusters in a probabilistic manner. The presence of “re-entry” guarantees that the map is sufficiently complex, that is, nonlinear and chaotic, to possess numerous invariant sets of clusters, which are referred to as agglomerations. We suggest that an agglomeration that is mixing characterizes a conscious state. The model establishes a theoretical framework that may structure and encourage experimental work.

متن کاملA PRELUDE TO THE THEORY OF RANDOM WALKS IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS
A random walk on a lattice is one of the most fundamental models in probability theory. When the random walk is inhomogenous and its inhomogeniety comes from an ergodic stationary process, the walk is called a random walk in a random environment (RWRE). The basic questions such as the law of large numbers (LLN), the central limit theorem (CLT), and the large deviation principle (LDP) are ...

متن کاملErgodic Theory over F
In cryptography and coding theory, it is important to study the pseudo-random sequences and the ergodic transformations. We already have the 1-Lipshitz ergodic theory over Z2 established by V. Anashin and others. In this paper we present an ergodic theory over F2[[T ]] and some ideas which might be very useful in applications.
