Supporting evidence for these three fundamental premises of awaretheory

The three premises that awaretheory is based on

1. The structure and functioning of the body but specifically the structure and functioning of the brain produces consciousness (awarepaths) and ixperiencitness.

2. There are an endless number of awarepaths that can diverge from any point along a physapath of which a very large amount of these different awarepaths will have the same ixperiencitness.

3.Identical and nearly identical structure and functioning produced in another body will produce identical conscious awarepaths with the same ixperiencitness

Supporting evidence for these premises are as follows:

The [[structure and functioning of the body but specifically the structure and functioning of the brain produces consciousness and ixperiencitness.

Supporting evidence for premise 1:

Evidence for this premise is from neuroscience experiments and case studies. Currently, there is no other good scientific theory about how consciousness and ixperiencitness is created. Neuroscience shows that if the structure and functioning of the brain is changed enough there is a change in the consciousness that is produced.

There are an endless number of awarepaths that can diverge from any point along a physapath of which a very large amount of these different awarepaths will have the same ixperiencitness.

Supporting evidence for this premise 2:

There are a near endless amount of different sensepaths and enviropaths that can be applied starting at any point along a physapath that produces a specific ixperiencitness. If the resulting change in the physapath is large enough this will produce a difference in the resulting awarepath but still produce the same ixperiencitness. If the divergence in the resulting physapath is large enough there will then be produced a percentage wise identical ixperiencitness. The evidence is also based on the belief that most people have that they could do something different from what they actually did do at any particular point in their life. Consequently, they could have experienced many different experiences in many different orders. Which means that a person could experience many different awarepaths. Each different awarepath produces a different physapath and neuropath. For example, right now you are reading this sentence, what you do next is continue reading this sentence. But there are a near endless amount of different external events that could have interfered in this experience of reading this sentence like loud noises a sudden pain or you falling asleep. You could have just decided to not finish reading the sentence and go to the airport and fly any random place. We believe that we could have experienced something different from what we did experience and can in the future experience many potential different awarepaths. If we can experience different awarepaths it means by definition that they will have the same ixperiencitness.

Identical and nearly identical structure and functioning produced in another body will produce identical consciousness thus awarepaths with the same ixperiencitness.

Supporting evidence for this premise 3:

There are several parts showing the evidence for this premise

First, identical structure and functioning produced in another body will produce the same consciousness as was produced in the original body. However, physical bodies are so complex with so many atoms, etc., that are functioning with quantum mechanical properties that identity of structure and functioning for even a moment is extremely unlikely if not impossible. As in most replications of physical objects, devices, and processes, we can only, over time with more knowledge and ability, more and more closely approximate the structure and functioning but not duplicate it.

Science and technology only can approximate in any duplication or replication that it try's to produce. But there are an extremely large amount of physical differences like the placement or orientation of a single atom that will not change the resulting output of the system. For example, There are many different ways to create a factory that will produce products that are nearly identical enough to serve the the desired purpose. If you see something that you want to replicate you replicate the process that produced it as closely as possible. Given a human body that has a specific structure and is functioning in a specific way and is producing a specific awarepath and ixperiencitness, if science and technology wants to reproduce the consciousness or awarepath it is producing the rational thing to do is replicate the original’s structure and functioning as closely as possible. If the structure and functioning of the duplicate is closely enough like that of the original’s structure and functioning the behavior of the two will be the same. The behavior of each one can give information about the consciousness that they are experiencing. It can also give information about the self identity, memories, skills, personality etc that each one has. This information can then be compared.

If a conscious computer can be made, it seems rational to believe that another conscious computer with the same structure and functioning will behave the same way. Because our scientific experience with machines and electronic devices always show that if they have the same structure and then function in the same ways they have the same identical behavior or output. When this does not occur the engineers do not predict that there is sone supernatural influence changing the outcome they look for a difference between the structure and functioning of the devices. When this difference is found and then made as identically as possible or necessary then there is identical production of behavior or output.

These premises are parsimonious meaning they are relatively simple considering how complex the brain is and all of the ideas, imaginary and real that it can produce and we that we can experience. Nonetheless, these premises are based on our current understanding of science and technology without the adaption of any supernatural entities, concepts, or processes, like gods, souls, or other worlds like heaven and hell.
