experimental comparison of theories
Ixperiencit v non ixperiencit based Sf v matter v soul v consciousness based theories personal v conscious v ixperiencit (identity and existence) multiplicity, v singularity, v nonunity (applied to soul,body,consciousness, ixp,sf) finite temporal v infinite temporal unique versus duplicatable discrete versus continuum external versus internal( view point of self) external view point versus the internal view point
Show through experiments and reasoning the incoherence and irrationality of the other theories and rationality of sfxmc theories. Show that theories should be based on the ixperiencit theory. They can also be based on misunderstandings Types of misunderstanding and confusion: based on matter rather than sf (sf is duplicatable matter is not) based on external view of self rather than internal (body rather than the ixperiencit) using a nonexistent soul concept Based on singularity not multiplicity Based on discreetness rather than continuum
One of the problems with most theories is that they try to get the results to fit into a singular theory. Soul and body theories do not take into account the ixperiencit concept. Personal identity theories make identity an external problem or from an external observer. They do not utilize the importance of structure and functioning in understanding ixperiencit identity nor use the concept of the continuum applied to structure and functioning or consciousness in general. Made up concepts like a soul have been used to perpetuate the continuation of life after death that have just confused the issue. The concept of dualism has been used because matter has not been understood well enough to explain consciousness yet to some people’s satisfaction. But dualism has produced a whole set of problems that can not be solved, that makes the theory more incomprehensible. The theory of consciousness and ixperiencit based on matter is like the theory of evolution the more we know the more understanding and proof we have. But no matter how much proof we have there will be doubters.
Concepts to cover ixperiencit sf multiplicity continuum nonunity multiplicity actually makes for a larger multi dimensional self, the multiself, multiyou, the uxperiencit The concept of the multiself changes morals, society, government, everything. the self is part of the multibeing. The multibeing extends past human being part so you are not just a multi human consciousness perspective. The our current conscious perspective is just one part of the conscious multiperspective of our multibeing.
Sf is duplicatable but matter is not. Consciousness is produced by the structure and functioning of matter so it is also duplicatable. Theories of personal identity try to tie together matter and consciousness to explain what is the same person over time. Since matter is not duplicatable it is assumed that consciousness can not be also. and if consciousness is duplicatable then at the very least the ixperiencit concept is not duplicatable. What do I mean by the statement that matter is not duplicatable? It is true that there are identical atoms like two identical carbon atoms and that we can take one element and change it into another element by combining the atomic number of that atom. To be identical in every way it has to be the same atom. We might be able to create matter (an atom) out of “empty” space or the reverse. We can say that this is the same atom over time. Although we may not be able to distinguish it form other atoms unless we follow it through space and time. We assume that there is a unique place for every time for a material object. This is what makes it unique and thus unduplicatable a unique through space and time. But matter is actually more bizarre than this at the Qm level
A material object like a person is usually believed to track through space and time in a unique path. Thus giving it, its unique properties. Sf is different. sf identity is not tied to a specific piece of matter.
there is nothing that necessary ties particular structure and functioning to particular piece of matter and a particular space and time.
Sf is a changing thing over time. as is matter
What is a consciousness with out matter or the body sf or soul based theory? One requirement might be continuity or continuousness of consciousness. for identity of consciousness we can end up with nonunitity. Is the goal identifying the ixperiencit identity -- Will I experience this consciousness Under these circumstances will I experience this consciousness? This is what a science of consciousness has to tell us. Under what conditions will each person experience a consciousness? This is one of the major topics this theory actually gives the conditions for each individual original.
