There are 4 ways in object deals with world around it.
1: Dose nothing beyond the basic laws of physics, IE put the object into hot water, it heats up. IE a rock.
This is commonly referred as a none life forms.
2: I object which given the correct source's and elements, and energy source, make's copy's of it self.
This can be crystal, etc but those sorts of object don't have a natural selection path, by which information can be
be stored, modified and played back like DNA has. The object with a natural selection path, we tend to call life.
3: Life come's in 3 general sub groups
3-A None reactive forms.
Given the correct environment, it will make of copy's of it self.
It has no way moving beyond where the environment takes it.
IE: If the wind takes the object to a good place it will do well.
or if the wind take's to a bad place it will be destroyed.
3-B Reactive forms.
Reactive forms have the ability to move by there own means.
if it's too hot, they can move to cooler place, PH is wrong, move to a better place, etc.
3-C Predictive forms. IE: humans.
Predictive forms of life, have a Predictive modeling machine's which makes
predictions about what is going to happens in the so call future.
This allows the life form to predict a winter is coming, so better fly south or store extra food for
winter. Or I'm driving a car. I see a brick wall in font of me, I better stop or else I will crash into it.
So consciousness is simple a Predictive modeling machine's, synchronized to the environment via a range of
sensors, mostly sight, as touch is reactive only it has very limited value for the predictive modeling machine.
IE: Try diving a car at 100km/60 miles hour, just using touch and see how well your Predictive modeling works!
So that's all consciousness is. A Predictive modeling machine, synchronized to the environment via a range of
sensors. All of the levels I have talked about, exist in the most complex forms of life, at the same time.
How bad can bad get, and getting worse...
they use the say software from CONTROL DATA CORP was not released, but escaped !
I think in Skype's case, it's coming from the septic system !!
Given that gravitational-waves have a vector, and with so many body's radiating in the plan's direction, would not this make for a stronger gravity in the rotation plain of the Galaxy, and account for why start's do not fly off ?
