Canonizer algorithm:
This section is a table of contents for this topic. It is in outline or tree form, with supporting sub camps indented from the parent camp. If you are in a sub camp, you are also counted in all parent camps including the agreement camp at the top. The numbers are canonized scores derived from the people in the camps based on your currently selected canonizer on the side bar. The camps are sorted according to these canonized scores. Each entry is a link to the camp page which can contain a statement of belief. The green line indicates the camp page you are currently on and the statement below is for that camp.
Consciousness itself -- as first person or individual sentient being's subjective experience (or perception of and response to) sensory and memory information -- cannot be explained in objective physical/material terms. Consciousness is wholly described as the stage on which observations and thoughts meet. It is a duality.
Therefore, the following definitions of consciousness is offered -- keeping in mind these limitations:
Consciousness is :
(1) The indescribable first person subjective experience of and response to neurologically or otherwise modulated and stored sensory and/or memory information temporarily reflected in the mind.
(2) The perception and control of the activity of the mind (e.g., thought, concentration, meditation, etc.) -- in conjunction with memory, brain and body -- linked through the senses to the outer world.
(3) The subjective receptive/responsive experience -- whether awake, attentive, inattentive, sleeping, dreaming, or in other alternate states of awareness.
(4) The antonym of unconsciousness -- e.g., when all sensory information is cut off from the subjective experience of qualia by the potentially conscious perceiver.
(5) A ubiquitous, immaterial subjective aspect of total space in conjunction with noumenal objective matter.
Supporters can delegate their support to others. Direct supporters receive e-mail notifications of proposed camp changes, while delegated supporters dont. People delegating their support to others are shown below and indented from their delegates in an outline form. If a delegate changes camp, everyone delegating their support to them will change camps with them.
