On a fundamental correspondence between consciousness and system bias: Developments in Expected Float Entropy Minimisation
The result given in this talk involves two assumptions and pits two opposing hypotheses against each other. We call the two assumptions IMPS and OGA and the two hypotheses MEEM and Anti-MEEM. IMPS stands for ‘’Interpretive Models give Phenomena from States’’ and is the assumption that consciousness is given by system states interpreted in the context of a relational model that the system itself determines. IMPS says nothing about how a system determines the interpretive model or which model is the relevant one. OGA stands for ‘’Object Grouping Awareness’’ and is the assumption that our awareness/experience of certain objects being strongly related to each other is a part of consciousness and, therefore, to degrade this experience partially degrades consciousness. MEEM stands for ‘’Minimum Expected Entropy Model’’ and is the hypothesis that consciousness is the minimum expected entropy model interpretation of system states; i.e. the fundamental hypothesis of EFE minimisation. This model depends on system bias. Anti- MEEM is the hypothesis that there is something completely independent of system bias in the brain that determines the interpretive model. Under the IMPS and OGA assumptions, MEEM beats Anti-MEEM showing there is a fundamental correspondence between consciousness and system bias.
