Course Description

Overview

Explore an automata-theoretic approach to modeling consciousness within mental monism in this 17-minute conference talk. Delve into Peter Lloyd's research from the School of Computing at the University of Kent, examining the resurgence of interest in mental monism as a theory of consciousness. Investigate the challenges of constructing the structure and dynamics of the conscious mind without a physical substrate. Analyze the informatic operation of the mental world and how it differs from the energy-driven physical world. Consider the constraints on modeling consciousness, including interactions between minds and basic features such as individuation, privacy, mental space, and memory. Examine the implications of these constraints for substrate-free automata-theoretic models of consciousness, touching on topics like the mind-body problem, communication, deep copy, and cellular automata.
