Perhaps some time during your childhood days, you playfully exchange conversations with a friend using a string telephone. This toy is made up of two empty tin cans with the top lids remove and one long string. One end of the string is tied at the center of the first can and the other end of the string is secured at the center of the other can. When a message like Hello is send through the mouth of the first can, the other end receives the same message Hello in the second can. Your mouth sends the message and your friends' ear receives the message. In return, when your friend sends the message Hello back to you, you bring your can next to your ear to receive the message Hello. Here, your friend uses his mouth to send the message and you uses your ear to receive the message. (The Inverse Hello Illusion Model)
This simple telephone setup illustrates a picture of what a system is and what it is made of. If we visualize the communication process piece by piece in instant replay or slow motion, three important events are going on. First, the incoming message enters the soda can. Second, the message flows into the string. And third, the outgoing message comes out into the second can. Three solid objects: the first can, the string, and the other can - are involved for the message to flow.
However, we often see these physical solid objects but failed to visualize the non-material, the message. In our minds, we know that the message exists, but we can't tell what the message is made of? We don't even know how the message is transported from one can to the other can. How does the string produce sound or words? How does the sound is converted to words? What is so special about these cans that they can make and produce sound? What connects the message and the objects together? How does the message(non-materials) interact with the objects(materials)?
In this telephone line system, or in any system for that matter, there are always six major components present. Technically, the incoming message is called the input, the flowing message is called the medium and the outgoing message is called the output. Equally, the first can, where the input flows, is called the collector; the string, where the medium flows, is called the carrier; and the second can, where the output flows, is called the actuator. These six major components are the essential ingredients of a system.
The six elements can also be divided into two important parts. The input, medium and output are the first part of the system. The collector, carrier and actuator are the second part. The first part is all non-materials in nature while the second part is all solid objects(materials). These two things - materials and non-materials - are essentials to have a functional system. Materials and non-materials are combinedly called Physicals Based on ASL or Actuator Sensor Language, the 6 elements are also the fundamental components that create our senses, consciousness, logic, and language as you will see later.
Another good example of a system is the Morse Code. It is a more simplified form of communication where instead of vocalizing words, it uses codes of dots and dashes that represent the letters in the alphabet or words in a sentence. The dots and dashes are utilized in numerous ways like tapping up and down on a key clapper, blinking open and close through a pair of eyes, or flashing reflected lights on and off on a mirror. Whatever the mediums are, the nature of the codes are merely bits of energy that originated from sounds, lights or waves which can be translated into symbols. They are trains of energy acting as abstract inputs, transmitting via the molecules of a given carrier, and received as abstract outputs at the other end of the medium. The pairs of clappers, eyes and mirrors are the physical sensors and actuators, while the codes are the abstracts inputs and outputs. Again, we see that in this system two objects are always present - the materials and the non-materials.
In the human body system - the eyes, hands, ears, tongue, nose, skin and brain are called biological sensors. Sensors, technically classified as collectors and actuators, are devices that detect informational signals from its environment. Collectors are the first line of sensors that receive the signals we called inputs. These collectors acquire inputs through seeing, touching, hearing, tasting, smelling and imagining. These inputs flow into a very intricate network of biological wires called blood vessels or veins. Medical studies confirmed that they are stored statically or dynamically in a memory cell just like the electrical energy stored in a rechargeable battery. This stored information is accessed or activated defending on the mechanical needs of the body. Once triggered or switched on, this information flows out through the biological actuators as outputs. Actuators, where outputs are sent out, are the last line of devices in a system. These actuators are the same biological sensors as the collectors. Collectors are Actuators. They are both similar and function alike. What comes into these sensors goes out into the same sensors. Our eyes, hands, ears, tongue, nose, skin and brain are simply collectors and actuators each constructed differently in forms and structures.
Materials and Non-materials can also be demonstrated in real life experience like when someone is accidentally hit by a soccer ball. The blow(input) as it hits the skin(sensor) carries the sensation of pain into the brain and returns back into the skin as pain(output). Likewise, in the computer system, when a key(skin) is pressed, the signal(input) travels into the computer brain (a collection of switches), decoded and encoded, and flows to the monitor as a symbol(output). The computer system is made up of both hardware (materials) and software (non-materials). In the electrical system, electronic system, hydraulic system, mechanical system, life system and all other systems, the six elements always exist from where they are divided as Materials and Non-materials (jlawsin 1988).
Consciousness is also believed to be made up of these two components: Materials and Non-materials. The Mental activities are classed as non-materials while the Brain activities are grouped as the materials. Although it seems that mental function depends on brain function, the two are not actually link just like all other systems. There are no connections (explanatory gap, scriptional jump, hard problem) between Materials and Non-materials. The natural law called the Zizo Effect doesn't permit this connection because in the first place there are really no non-physical objects. Second, the law states if non-materials comes into the mind, it goes out as non-materials too. If materials gets into the brain, it goes out as materials too. And finally, scientifically, the word Hello in the telephone toy setup is an illusion produced by the solid linear interactions of all air-string-can molecules banging each other creating the sound wave Hello just like the thunder produced by a lighting strike or anything thing non-material involve in any systems. Therefore, using the laws behind the ZiZo Theory, we can now fill up the explanatory gap and completely dismiss the hard problem with a real True Hard Problem of Consciousness - Do brains really store information, if so how?
