It's very much in alignment with BK's philosphy. Maybe they should have a talk.

Re: A theory that the universe might be a neural network
When you look for analogies you always will find one. When I was kid I was passionate in finding patterns in the clouds resembling animals and people and always found one. But extrapolating from that to reality is not much more than wild speculation.

It seems that all representations refer back to something with which one is already familiar -- hence, the word "re-cognition."Marco Masi wrote: ↑Sat Jul 24, 2021 7:14 pm When you look for analogies you always will find one.

Where does the universal neural network exist? Within Consciousness.

You can surely see a difference between spotting patterns as a kid and getting a quantitative analysis of structures that concludes that they are identical mathematically published in a peer-reviewed journal?Marco Masi wrote: ↑Sat Jul 24, 2021 7:14 pm When you look for analogies you always will find one.

Re: A theory that the universe might be a neural network
True, but a mathematical analysis is far from being a proof that there is any relation. There are a lot of things whose mathematical structure is equivalent but have nothing to do with each other.pandaproducts wrote: ↑Thu Aug 05, 2021 9:11 am You can surely see a difference between spotting patterns as a kid and getting a quantitative analysis of structures that concludes that they are identical mathematically published in a peer-reviewed journal?

Re: A theory that the universe might be a neural network
The brain is a highly complicated structure that operates on different structural organisation laws than the universe at large. The brain is under the influence of natural selection and evolution, while the universe has no external environment to defend itself from. It is unjustifiable from a materialist standpoint that the universe looks like a brain, unless you're going to insinuate some highly improbable coincidence.Marco Masi wrote: ↑Thu Aug 05, 2021 10:51 amTrue, but a mathematical analysis is far from being a proof that there is any relation.
