Brain Memory (Continued)

Human Brain Memory Is Data That Can Be Captured, Archived.

Our individual experienced reality is that we are born, and grow. The brain cells in our heads grow along with us, and all of the neural network connections made over our own life exist as well in our memories – which are material things; part of the experienced grown library of data that we possess physically, albeit this involves a complicated heuristic system of synaptic network connections (rather than some kind of ‘linear bank’ of actual experiences) that we call our ‘memory.’ We have no ‘memory’ of anything prior to our birth – in its broadest sense – and we can have no experience of anything once our brain cells are materially broken down after we die.

That is the standard material physical only -, ‘mechanistic’ perspective. And it’s okay, but it operates only from the basis of our present level of knowledge of what even ‘matter’ is, and what the nano-scale and smaller, arrangements of that matter, are.

If we posit, let’s say, in a ‘thought experiment’ (of the kind, by the way, that is really going on today, at research institutions such as Imperial College, London, where they are looking into AI) that there is some kind of huge ‘super computer’ held somewhere outside of an individual person’s body and brain – which holds a vast archive of data comprising electromagnetic field activity and neural network connections and pulses in those structures, theoretically, it could mimic the thoughts and memories of a human mind.

Yet still there would be no reality that a particular individual human person’s actual mind, would be replicated in that super-computer, nor that there would be a contiguous feature of ‘consciousness’ going on at all – unless there was some ‘bridge’ between the things going on inside the actual human brain, and whatever was going on at the site of the super-computer. What our human sensation of ‘consciousness’ consists of, is feedback from chemicals acting in and on distributed sensory nerve-endings, and processed inside our brains and ‘realised’ effectively via Muller’s Law about how we perceive things.

Our memory itself, of waking consciousness, that is, of aware consciousness, is a repository of our own neural chemical actions and reactions. Some people are able to ‘sense’ electromagnetic fields, but this is still, apparently, as far as we can say, simply a haptic (touch sensation) capability.

It is not necessarily the case, not in any obvious way that we can say, that a human brain even processing a great deal of neural network traffic, and providing a very great deal of EMF micro level data – is ‘aware’ of what it is doing unless it is also experiencing sensory and sense chemical responses and ‘feedback.’ EG ‘I am thinking about something bad, and my stomach feels bad.’ Or, I was thinking a lot about a difficult problem and my head felt hot.′

Or... ...I am thinking about something pleasant, and I have pleasant feelings.

Thus it is necessarily the case, in our posited ‘thought experiment,’ that unless some Cosmic super-computer, holding various data archives of someone’s neural network activity, also had a hedonic feedback aspect mimicking that human subject’s own chemical sensory feedback system, even providing the human subject’s EMF activity was merged with something of the same nature within the super-computer – the human being would have no conscious knowledge that its thoughts and memories were actually exactly being mirrored in another place, potentially.
