Orimitation

Definition: (imitating the awarepath or physipath? What is the physical process of imitation?) What modifications to a neurons structure will produce the same conscious affect? What modifications to a neurons functioning will produce the same affect?

Citoimitation

Definition: Imitation is the process where the closest process to the original is created when we can to get exact because of physical or knowledge problems

Experiment set # Citoimitation

Citoimitation is imitating the functioning of sub part of a conscious system.

Neural CitoimitationCitoneuroimitation imitation of the neurons.

Sectional Citoimitation Citosectionalimitation imitation within sections.

In this experiment, imagine an original and a cidentireplica. A gradual replacement at the neuron level is done on one of them. This means, neuron by neuron in the brain, an artificial neuron is replacing the old neuron. The artificial neuron is functioning exactly like the old neuron. It could even compete for food like the other neurons if necessary to produce the same effect. It functions in the brain exactly like the original neuron does. Will this brain, with the identical functioning neuron, still functioning the same? The cidentireplica by definition has to function exactly the same as the original. If they do not the only reason for them not functioning exactly alike will be the artificial neuron but the artificial neuron is by definition functioning exactly like the replaced neuron would have functioned. So it won’t be the artificial neuron that is causing any problem.

The original and the cidentireplica still behave the same and the cid paradox will not occur because for the original and the cidentireplica behave differently there has to be an out put of neural signals that is different and by definition there is none

This process can continue until all of the neurons are replaced in the body since all the neurons by definition have to behave the same all the behavior will be the same between the original and the cidentireplica. The structure will no longer be the same but the functioning on the neuron level will be identical. What reasons do we have to believe that we can make an artificial neuron? What reasons do we have to believe that we can make an artificial neuron that can be part of a conscious system? There is nothing about the material that the original material is made. we have no reason to believe

Subjectively, what does the cidentireplica experience in these experiments. If one or all the neurons are replaced by artificial neurons, the cidentireplica will have the same consciousness as the original. Taking an extreme example, imagine that each neuron does so much calculation in its functioning that it takes not just a simple circuits to replace its exact functioning, but a super computer. Now consider replacing each neuron with a properly functioning (set up to function like a neuron and exactly like the one that it is replacing) super computer. If all these super computers are connected to each other like the neurons in the brain /nervous system as long as this functioning is identical to the original’s functioning there will be created the identical consciousness from this artificial cidentireplica. If the original, Nancy, is thinking how nice it is being on vacation in Mexico on the beach etc. etc. The artificial cidentireplica will have the same consciousness. Hopefully, it will not take the complexity of a super to recreate the functioning of a neuron. But the more that we know about neurons the more complicated their behavior can be and how it can be influenced by many external sources besides the mere interaction with other neurons. For people that have had brain damage, if the functioning of their brains could be restored to exactly like it would have been with out the damage they will have the same consciousness as if they did not have the brain damage. If we stick artificial mini processing devices that can replace the functioning of the neurons that were lost through the damage to the brain, the enhanced brain will not necessary have the identical mentality as the person would have without the brain trauma. Because there are many other changes that have happened to the person with the brain trauma that will not have happen to him otherwise. So what might the person with the artificial chip in his head experience. Lets say that the trauma caused the person not to be able to see and loose some memories of the past. If there were no major changes to the neurons that interrelate to the chip then the person should gain his sight back and have some of this memories back. He will have had other experiences that are different from what he would have experienced if he would have not had the brain trauma.

What is the relationship between citointerchangeability, citoimitation and citoreplacability. Like the words imply, you can replace something interchange it and imitate it. When you interchange something you move it from one place to another and visa versa. There exists a two way switch. When you replace something there is no switch. In the body matter is being replaced all the time with new matter and the old matter is discarded. It can also be switched or interchanged as cells die and are broken down and reused to make other cells. Imitation is when you try to function like something else. Imitation can apply to higher levels of functioning cells rather than atoms. It is easier to imagine imitating a cell than an atom. So we use the term itoreplaceability for matter in a person interchangeability for matter between consciousness beings and imitation for replaceability and interchangeability at a higher level of functioning. Where there appears to be more variability in structure and functioning.
