Aneural Brain

Intuitive Aneural Network or IAN, is a memory network that does not depend on the neural brain or neurons. The Brein Theory: A Brain without The Brain paradigm was uncovered from a study known as Autognorics.

Autognorics is a novel field of study that explores the possibility of creating living machines or systems. These intuitive machines (IM) are not just machines that can perform tasks, but machines that can exhibit the six signatures of life: aliveness, awareness, consciousness, intuitiveness, inlearness, and lifeness. These machines are not based on neural networks or artificial intelligence, but on aneural neurons or gnos, which are intuitive objects that can send and receive signals, match things with things, and choose this or that without the need for neural reasoning. Autognorics is the science of studying embedded inscriptions through intuitive objects by structural designs.

Autognorics is a visionary and ambitious endeavor that challenges the conventional paradigms of robotics and artificial life. It aims to create machines or systems that can not only mimic, but also surpass the natural phenomena of life. Autognorics is not only a science, but also an art, a philosophy, and a way of understanding the origin of origins. Autognorics is the ultimate expression of human creativity and curiosity through the eyes of a machine.

IN 1988, Joey Lawsin from his R&D on Autognorics and Inscription by Design also eventually uncovered the new seven criteria of Life which consists of the following stages in this order.

1. The Mechanization of Aliveness. This is the process of making an engineered life form that performs some basic functions, such as movement or animation through self-energization. This machine is considered alive, but not aware or conscious.
2. The Sensation of Awareness. This is the process of adding sensory inputs to the machine, such as vision, hearing, touch, taste, or smell. This allows the machine to perceive its environment and react to stimuli. This machine is considered aware, but not yet conscious.

3. The Logic of Intuitiveness. This is the process of adding rational abilities to the machine, such as logic, inference, or deduction through its sensors. This allows the design of the machine's sensors to respond or make decisions based on its information inputs and outputs. The machine is considered intuitive, but not inlearn, neural, or symbiotic.  
4. The Codification of Consciousness. This is the process of associating an object(reality) with information(ideas), such as following, copying, discovering, or mimicking what it senses. This allows the machine to respond to its surroundings. This anueral object is considered conscious, but not intuitive or inlearn.
5. The Inlearness of Information. This is the process of adding learning capabilities to the machine through acquiring information in a queue. The various distinct structural designs of its gnos store individual information uniquely through the flowchart effect via information inputs and outputs which create experiences, behaviors, and feedback. This machine is considered inlearn or inform, but not symbiotic or self-emergent.
6. The Symbiosis of Living. This is the process of adding social interactions to the machine, such as cooperation or competition. This allows the machine to form relationships and networks with other objects and benefit from their resources and support. This machine is considered living but without self-realization, self-identity, or self-recognition yet.
7. The Emergence of Self. This is the process of creating self-referentiality to the machine, such as self-identity, self-expression, or self-reflection. This allows the machine to recognize itself as a distinct entity and create its own meaning and values in life. This machine can recognize itself, thoughts, feelings, actions, and experiences. 

 
According to Lawsin, the seven orders are necessary and sufficient in generating interims from being alive, living, and having life. He claims that this seven-part formula can be applied, partially or completely, to any intuitive object, whether natural or artificial.

 
Aside from Autognorics and Inscription by Design, Lawsin also discovered the Single Theory of Everything that asserts that everything only exists because other things cause it to exist, otherwise, nothing ever existed at all. This Mother of all Theories which governs everything in the universe can be stated in the following equation:

 

∑I = ∑A + ∑N

Where: I = generated interim entity

             A = number of intuitive materials

             N = number of embedded inscriptions

How to Build a Brain without a Brain:

Here are some examples of an Intuitive Aneural Network, a network that stores and processes information without a brain or neurons (The Brein Theory), and its six major elements.

Perhaps, some time during your childhood days, you playfully send messages through a friend using a string telephone, a toy which is made up of two tin cans where each end is connected by a 20 foot long string. . When information is send through the first can, the information travels to the string, and receives by the second can. This simple telephone setup illustrates a model of what a system is and what it is made up of.

In any system, there are always six major components present. Technically, they are the incoming message called the input, the flowing message called the medium and the outgoing message called the output. Moreover, 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.

The six major elements of a system can also be divided into two parts. The input, medium and output are the first part of the system; while, the collector, carrier and actuator are the second part. The first parts are all non-materials(materialize) while the second parts are all solid material objects. All materials and materialize are singularly called physicals. A very important concept in understanding a system.

From the drawing above, the collector serves as the switch, the carrier as the wire, and the actuator as the light bulb. The input signal comes from the switch, flows into the medium, and releases the output as light. Note, the battery here serves as the inducer hub. In this demonstration, information is stored and processed without using any neuron or brain.

In a nerve cell (neuron), signals are received by the dendrites, processed by the cell body, and transmitted as output into the axons. The neuron is the basic unit in the nervous system. It is a specialized conductor cell that receives and transmits electrochemical nerve impulses. A typical neuron has a cell body and long arms that conduct impulses from one body part to another body part. There are three different parts of the neuron: the cell body, dendrites, and axon. The cell body has several highly branched, thick extensions that appear like cables and are called dendrites. The exception is a sensory neuron that has a single, long dendrite instead of many dendrites. Motor neurons have multiple thick dendrites. The dendrite's function is to carry a nerve impulse into the cell body.  An axon is a long, thin process that carries impulses away from the cell body to another neuron or tissue. There is usually only one axon per neuron. Neurons in the body can be classified according to structure and function. According to structure neurons may be multipolar neurons, bipolar neurons, and unipolar neurons: Multipolar neurons have one axon and several dendrites. These are common in the brain and spinal cord Bipolar neurons have one axon and one dendrite. These are seen in the retina of the eye, the inner ear, and the olfactory (smell) area. Unipolar neurons have one process extending from the cell body. The one process divides with one part acting as an axon and the other part functioning as dendrite. These are seen in the spinal cord.

In plants ... veins in leaves, stems and roots are the neural network

In computers ... the hardwires on the motherboard, transmitter, receiver and the softwires on the atmospheric channels are the neural network.

The Cobweb Neural Network Connection, or CoNNeC, is one of the alternative systems of networks that stores and processes information without compensating heavily on neurons or a brain. The information is simply stored and processed into the network by mediums and carriers (Lawsin 1988).

In the Cobweb Neural Network, the web is the neural network. In this demonstration, information is stored and processed in the web, the fly is the trigger, and the spider serves as the brain.

With all these various labyrinths of neural networks, could the skin, the largest organ from where portions of it shrunk to become the brain, be the real neural network of the human body and not the brain?

Consciousness doesn't root from the Brain

Consciousness is one of the last remaining puzzles of life that I have not comprehensively studied, experimented, analyzed, and understood. I have investigated and solved the underlying mysteries of reality, the origin of our existence, and the evolution of creation based on Inscription Codexation. From more than 2 decades of extensive experimenting, researching, theorizing, and discovering new knowledge, I have uncovered Life's beauty, lessons, and its secrets. However, with all these inspiring results, one final captivating mystery of Life is still on the drawing board: The Riddle of Consciousness.

Mother nature revealed to me that everything we sense is an illusion. Life is an Illusion. Reality is an illusion. They are constructs fabricated by the brain. The things we know and perceive only exist because our brain has someway tricked us to believe that information is being processed in the brain. Like in computer, the brain is an empty hard-drive. It only stores information when information is provided. However, if these stored information are not processed, it becomes a useless machine. Furthermore, without its external peripherals, it will not function either. Thus, the brain is an important tool in processing information.

However, based on the Black Train Experiment, the brain is not the only organ that stores information (see SKIN). When the brain temporarily shuts down, a non-physical substance - an abstract form that emanates not from the brain but behind and above, floating and connected - takes over the brain. The Philosophy of the Mind called this form as Consciousness. Here, I named this phantom mind, the Oculus.

Even with all the state of the art technologies, various laboratory techniques, and intensive scientific studies humans have these days, no mind experts can still pin point the exact location of consciousness in the brain. Some neuroscientists suggest that consciousness might emanates entirely from the brain and not in a specific area or portion of the brain. Others suggest that consciousness is not even a product of the brain, the premise that I also claim based on the train and bathroom experiments.If consciousness doesn’t originate from the brain, then where else could it possibly originate? If consciousness is something abstract(non-physical), how can it interact with something physical (scriptional jump)? Is there really a nonphysical that is conscious present in the brain? Is Consciousness cerebral, physical, mechanical, causal or all of the above?

Surprisingly, there are simple experiments in Physics and more from Information Materialization that might answer some of these questions. The results that mental activities don't give rise to consciousness are based on the following scientific and mathematical models: (1) The Codexation Dilemma. (2) The Hello Inversion (3) The Mirror Equation (4) The Inverse Square Law (5) The Software Illusion (6) The Human Mental Handicaps (7) The Guesswork Predicament, (8) The Scriptional Jump, (9) The Illusion of Reality, and (10) The Self-Conscious Robot.

In addition, Consciousness can also be understood better by illustrating it with a simple equation: If x is conscious with y then x is conscious. If x is alone then x is not conscious. This means that If I(x) am conscious with my dog(y) then I(x) am conscious. If I(x) am alone by myself(x), without people and without everything, then I(x) could not be conscious (see the caveman in box theory).

From the equations we can deduced that consciousness is made up of two basic elements: you and your environment. To be conscious one should  be aware of  one's surroundings.Once outside awareness is established, self-awareness comes next. If plants are aware of their surroundings, but they are not aware of themselves, are plants conscious beings? If all animals pay attention of their environment, yet some of them are not aware of themselves (The Mirror test), are these other animals conscious? Where do we draw the line now to determine if one is conscious or not?

The feeling of pain is believed to be one of the indicators that shows consciousness is present. Is this true? One day, when I was grooming my dog Zero, I accidentally cut his skin with a scissor. Zero yelped after a second, stared into my eyes, and attentively enjoyed the grooming back again as if nothing happened. His delayed reaction showed that since he doesn't have any idea what pain is and has the cut experience for the first time, the feeling of pain was unnoticed. But what caused the yelping sound? Instinct? A nerve trigger mechanism? Skin sensors? Or something else?

The capability to associate an abstract idea to a physical object is also crucial in the resolution of robotic consciousness. In his work on I.M., Lawsin coined the expression "the Human Mental Handicap" in an effort to define consciousness in its simplified form. He claimed that "No Humans can think of something without associating such something with a physical object". This simplicity of comparative association is the basic indicator that determines if one is conscious or not. If plants can hear, smell, feel and remember their surroundings, then they have the ability to associate what they sense with another objects. If they can feel warm, then they know what hot is. If they can hear music, then they can differentiate regular from irregular waves, from breeze to noise. If they can do this ability of one to one correspondence, matching one thing with another thing, then plants are conscious beings. However, my experiments show they can't. On the other hand, my dogs use objects like bowls, balls, and bones and pair them with words like food, play, and walk respectively. Their ability to associate mental images with physical objects just shows that dogs are conscious beings.(The Bowlingual Experiment, Lawsin 1988)

Other misconstrued indicators of consciousness are recognizing, feeling, knowing, remembering, mimicking, and decision making. All of the above are believed to be the products of the brain generated through the process of collecting, (encoding?), storing and retrieving of information from ones environment. However, the idea that mental activity depends on brain activity - when brain activity stops, all conscious experiences also stop - is flawed. Due to this misinterpretation, I.M. is redefining the idea based on the Scriptional Jump Theory.

In the study of I.M., I discovered that there is a crucial gap between abstracts and physicals. This gap seems to prevent the connection between abstracts and physicals. However, on the contrary, the gap was nothing but a perceive illusion. In philosophy, the hard problem of consciousness - the connection between mental activity (abstracts) and brain activity (physicals) - is actually not really hard at all. The True Hard Problem of Consciousness is - How does the brain store information?

To answer the hard question, let us first examine how does some particular brain operations process the sensations of taste, smell, sight and feeling. How does the tongue detect the difference between the taste of sweetness or bitterness. Can the brain be tricked by switching sweetness with bitterness? Why is the skin the largest organ of the body? Why do we have hairs? How do babies learn to move in the womb? Where did they get the idea of movement? Do babies have the ability to acquire information inside the womb? Why do plants move? If a robot is inside a womb, will it learn to move too?

Remember that before our brains evolved, the inherent world was already in existence. Mother Nature came first, we humans came next. Without the outside world, the inside world of our brains will still be empty to this day. But because Nature is the source of early information, our body manages to discover these pieces of information through our biological sensors.

In the caveman in the box experiment, we concluded from the second box results that Nature was the Mother of Early Information. She was the one who provided all the pieces of  information for the very first human to enjoy. Through her living environment, man acquired such information from his surrounding. He saw how birds fly, how lions get their foods, how deer drink water and how every creature in his environment behaves, creates sounds, and looks different from one another. Eventually, he copied these behaviors and began to put them into use (emulation-simulation process). Afterwards, these pieces of information were used to create new ideas, the very first invention of humans. He then discovered the art of judging and choosing, the concept of right and wrong, inventing and creating new things, and converting abstract ideas to physical realities. Copying Man became Thinking Man. Thinking man became conscious being.

Additional information why consciousness doesn't root from the brain:

(1) Information can only be acquired in two ways: by choice or by chance, by copying or by discovering. Early humans acquired information by copying or mimicking what they see and hear, sometimes by discovering new things due to unfortunate accidents, unexpected experiences, unknown events or natural interventions.

(2) Physical and material are two different things. Since all objects have mass, then Mass is material. At rest, it has gravity, potential force, temperature, volume, pressure, density, electrostatics, and even velocity. All these parameters are known as Non-Materials because they are the products of something material. Even though we don't see them, they exist. Both Materials and Non-materials are defined as Physicals. In contrast, Ideas are Abstracts. Ideas are non-physicals. Non-physicals are abstract impressions fabricated by our senses. They are deceptive illusions. They don't exist. Like Consciousness, ideas don't emanate from the brain too!

(3) The Zizo Effect, what zips in must zips out. This catch phrase is similar to other notions like what comes in must come out, garbage in garbage out, and gold begets gold. It is a natural law that prevents the interaction - the gap - between physicals and non-physicals, abstracts from physicals, ideas from realities, something from nothing. Mental activities don't zip out from brain activities.

Furthermore, the hardware-software system, also known as The Software Illusion,  is another good example that contradicts the brain-mental configuration idea. It reveals why consciousness doesn't exist.

In a computer system, two basic entities exist; the hardware and the software. However, in reality, there is no such thing as a software. Just like consciousness, it is an illusion. It doesn't even exist. The various colors, moving objects, words, and every picture we see on our computer screen are but simulations. They are merely the products of binary switches and picture elements(pixels/leds). All these pixels, which form the picture on the monitor, will not even make sense on our eyes when aligned in a straight line. The pixels will simply be a string of lighted bulbs or leds.

As well as when we press the letter K on the keyboard, we are simply lighting up the leds that form the letter K on the monitor. The simulation of typing a program is merely a series of switching on and off leds. The switching of LEDs is what we called the software (the result of input-decode-encode-output configuration. This electronic concept is important in the design of your robot). Even the binary language, the hexa-scripts, and the virtual programs may seem to be physical, but electronically they are actually non-physical. The non-physicalness is an illusion that doesn't even exist. Like consciousness, the software doesn't even emanates from the computer system. It is all hardware. It is only the computer(hardware) that exists and not the "it"(software).
