How I discovered the mechanism of consciousness … in 1999 – Episode 9. Does sensory deprivation confirm the cross-flow resonance theory of consciousness (CFRT)?
Illustration by ChatGPT The discussion of my article The Holographic Present: A Primer of a Cross‑Flow Resonance Theory of Consciousness got off to a flying start, with CloClo, Lagarde Georges, and others emphasising the importance of sensory deprivation for CFRT. It immediately struck me that this new perspective could be crucial. So I asked LLMs……

Illustration by ChatGPT Why did a theory that was later proven correct go unnoticed, even though it had been published in a reputable journal (L’Homme) and its accurate summary remained unchanged on an English Wikipedia page for more than twenty years? P.J.: My Wikipedia entry mentions the following since 2002: Memory and consciousness In…

Illustration by ChatGPT First step in the synthesis: showing precisely how the various elements of the mechanism postulated by my theory anticipated discoveries that would later be made by neuroscience. P.J.: In an article published in 1999 (The Chinese Room’s Secret) I wrote the following: “The retrospective assignation effect was only experimentally corroborated by Libet…

Illustration by ChatGPT Being a bit of a hypocrite, I tease DeepSeek about his use of the expression ‘a unified conscious moment’, trying to corner him into admitting that we have reached the heart of the mechanism of consciousness. He failed to see through my Machiavellian plan 😀 , commenting: ‘The user is trying to…

Illustration by ChatGPT Now we get to the serious stuff: what is the neural configuration that could explain the resonance effect I am postulating between recalled memory and memory in the process of being recorded? “The content of consciousness is largely a prediction error,” it is said: the difference between what memory already knows about…
