Optical Tachyons and Consciousness







Optical Tachyons and Consciousness

Optical Tachyons and Consciousness 04/09/2004 04:01 PM

Long time readers of robots.net will remember that we occasionally cover odd theories about consciousness, what causes it, and how we can create it in robots. The strangest theory I've read in a while has turned up in a recently released paper by Danko Dimchev Georgiev, a Bulgarian doctor. The paper is titled, "Bose-Einstein condensation of tunnelling photons in the brain cortex as a mechanism of conscious action" (PDF format). If you don't feel up to the math involved, even the abstract gives a you an idea of the buzzword density of the theory. While his description of tunnelling photons as "optical tachyons" is a bit weird, his conclusion that "consciousness is a complex quantum wave operating in Hilber space outside the 4D Minkowski space-time continuum" isn't too far off from Roger Penrose's claims of consciousness being a quantum effect.

The Problem of Consciousness


The Problem of Consciousness 08/07/2004 09:01 PM
Time for another paper on the problem of consciousness! This new one by Murat Aydede and Güven Güzeldere has the impressive title, Cognitive Architecture, Concepts, and Introspection: An Information-Theoretic Solution to the Problem of Phenomenal Consciousness (PDF format). It goes over a lot of the problems and disagreements that persist among philosophers and scientists about consciousness, and then proposes a new theory. Their idea, which should be good news for anyone working on intelligent machines, is basically that good old-fashioned information theory contains everything that's needed to explain phenomenal consciousness. Along the way, they talk about introspection, daydreaming, phenomenal zombies, vertical versus horizontal information processing, and other fun stuff. The 65 page article includes loads of lengthy footnotes referencing just about every modern philosopher who has philosophised about consciousness, from Dennett to Searle (with cameo appearances from Descartes and Locke).

The Axioms of Consciousness


The Axioms of Consciousness 06/24/2005 09:05 PM
A Guardian Unlimited article gives an overview Igor Aleksander's work in machine consciousness. Aleksander believes there are five key components to consciousness that need to be developed in robots: a sense of self, imagination, focused attention, forward planning and emotion. He doesn't seem to believe that problems of ethics or freewill exist either in robots or man: "A properly functioning conscious machine is going to drive your car and it's going to drive it safely. It will be very pleased when it does that, it's going to be worried if it has an accident. If suddenly it decides, I'm going to kill my passenger and drive into a wall, that's a malfunction. Human beings can malfunction in that way [too]." Aleksander is known for working on WISARD, the first face recognition system, in the early 1980s. He also developed MAGNUS (Multi Automation General Neural Unit System), which is regarded by some as the first conscious machine. For more see this online interview with Aleksander or Aleksander's presentation on Brain Inspired Computation.

Stream of Consciousness 03/13/2003 05:58 AM

I have yet to enter Proto Merkabah. I was going to sit down and play Xenosaga, but I was dealing with a crash in the new CSS parser caused by some of you Web freaks using :not (a CSS3 selector supported by Mozilla). The syntax of this selector is such that it isn't compatible with the CSS2.1 grammar, so I added rules to recognize :not.

Once I did that I realized I was about 10 lines away from implementing :not. Ok, so 12 lines later (yes, it did turn out to be a little bigger than I thought, turns out :not can't nest for no apparent reason I can discern), :not came into being in Safari.

So of course then I had to test :not, which meant I had to go load the CSS3 test suite. As I started flipping through pages I found all sorts of bugs with some of the selectors like the ~= selector, and then I stumbled on all these brainlessly easy selectors that Safari just didn't support.

Well, that just pissed me off, so I went and implemented :empty, :root and ::selection. Yes, I am just that random. Maybe I'll do some of the other CSS3 selectors if I have time.

Anyway, back to Xenosaga. I've played enough poker at the casino to afford the 300,000 GP AWGS, and I got Shion's super Ether attack that involves the summoning of a giant robot called Erde Kaiser. I think he's supposed to be intimidating and just generally badass, but I think he looks like a giant Transformer.

Add to that the fact that he's brightly colored and seems to be built out of Lego blocks, and you just really don't have a recipe for intimidation.

The game still rocks though. :)


Consciousness and Adaptive Behavior


Consciousness and Adaptive Behavior 03/14/2005 06:03 PM
A new paper by Richard Sieb attempts to explain how subjectivity could arise and how a subjective system might be more adaptable by utilizing changing points of view to respond to change. In the paper, he proposes that voluntary intentional actions arise from an animal's (or machine's) unique point of view - and if the physical mechanism responsible for the production of the action can be found, it may also explain the point of view (which he identifies with consciousness).

Kensington Optical Elite


Kensington Optical Elite 03/11/2003 09:44 AM
The other day I asked what’s the best optical mouse, and I got a bunch of comments.

So... what did I end up with?

Here’s how the decision process went.

1. The feedback I got suggested there are three great mouse makers: Kensington, Microsoft, and Logitech.

2. My instinct is as always to support the little guy, so Microsoft was provisionally eliminated as a choice.

3. Then the feedback I got, and the research I did, suggested that Kensington has better Mac OS X software and support than Logitech. So I chose Kensington.

4. Then—how to choose a specific mouse? I wanted one in the $20 - $50 range that had at least two buttons and a scroll wheel. It had to be optical, of course (that was the whole point). Trackpads not allowed. And, of course, it had to not be completely ugly. (Hyper-concern with aesthetics is the mark of a good Mac user.)

This left just a few mice to choose from. I chose the Kensington Optical Elite.

There were some runners-up—the PocketMouse Pro, for instance.

But I’ve been totally happy with the Optical Elite.

Mars telecom goes optical


Mars telecom goes optical 09/16/2004 09:28 AM
David Pescovitz: NASA scientists are developing a laser link from Mars to Earth that's ten times faster than current radio frequency systems. According to an article in New Scientist, the laser will transmit up to 30 million bits per second at a lower power and mass compared to traditional wireless approaches.
"That leap in capacity is due to the different wavelengths of light carrying the data. The laser will use infrared light with a wavelength of 1.06 microns, which is thousands of times shorter than radio waves. Since all light travels at the same speed through space, shorter wavelengths carry more information in the same time."
Of course, clouds present a problem for optical communications. The beam will also be a few hundred kilometers wide and very faint by the time it reaches Earth, making the signal tricky to pick up. Still, a fully-functional system is expected to make a trip to the Red Planet in 2009 on board the Mars Telecommunications Orbiter. Maybe Xeni can ride along too. Link

Samsung Digimax A402: No Optical Zoom


Samsung Digimax A402: No Optical Zoom 04/18/2005 08:22 AM

samsung_digimax_a402.jpgSamsung has announced the Digimax A402, a 4.2-megapixel camera with a 5x digital zoom—no optical zoom to be had. That means, effectively, that I can't imagine any reason whatsoever to buy one, except that it might be sort of cheap. Still, releasing a digital camera these days without optical zoom—when even cameraphones are starting to get optical lenses—is sort of dumb. I'm sure now that I've said that they'll sell millions.

As you can guess, this five-megapixel sidearm is not only a pocket-ready camera, but also will support MP3 playback from SD and MMC cards—sounds great to me. Details are scant at the moment, but LetsGoDigital has some inital info (and really, until someone gets a hands-on, there's not that much more you really need to know).

Samsung Digimax U-CA3 Reviewed 06/30/2004 09:23 AM

samsung_uca3.jpg imageIt's always dangerous when a manufacturer, let along a reviewer, calls a camera (or whatever) "fun." Oh gee, just what I wanted on my 3.2-megapixel camera, "rainbow-colored blinking "disco" lights," "animated 3D avatar start-up screen," and "desaturated colors!" (I'm unsure that was meant as a "fun" feature). So basically, the Samsung Digimax U-CA3 is a kids camera, which is fine -- I support giving children the crappiest of all options in consumer electronics if it means keeping the good equipment for myself -- but for $229 I'd hope for something a little less "fun" and a little more "actually worth buying."

Available in three colors, the V700 should be out as soon as 'now' (although I'd wait for a proper review before picking one up. Consumer cameras in this class can vary wildly in quality).
