Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!
Explore a formal theory of consciousness that addresses the combination problem through the lens of conscious agents and qualia fusion. Delve into the concept of spacetime as an interface for agent interactions, and examine how new, more complex structures emerge from Markovian interactions. Investigate the fusion simplex and its role in describing the possible combinations of conscious agents. Analyze the relationship between decorated permutations, the positive Grassmannian, and the amplituhedron in the context of spacetime scattering processes. Gain insights into how this theory positions conscious agent interactions as ontologically primary, with spacetime events serving as interface descriptions.
