1) Tale of the Viewer.: (QUEST)
Looking at a physical reality model, for example r.q.f. theory, the model leads to the imagination of changes in different fields, caused by effects on scales nearly unimaginable by a human. If some object, like a star, is encapsulated and reviewed along such theories, the star looses energy when it spreads field effects, while collecting them leads to the opposite.
Even if the content or position of the star changes, the process keeps working, while, depending on real reactions, the effects change. It can be seen as a huge, organized System, where large field areas are kept nearly identical over huge time scales, even that they exchange their content and translate to other positions. Same review can be applied to other objects, for example mountains on earth or some pieces of metal. Some patterns keep their order on huge timescales.
Now, to best of my knowledge, none of these objects is thinking about itself, or about its reality, nor the universe which it is included in, nor does it host a viewer which could interpret.
Along the same model, certain organization of patterns, special bandwidths of field configurations over a certain area, which continuously exist for some time, altering within acceptable tolerances, definitely host a viewer. It is thinking about itself, about it's surrounding reality and the universe which this viewer is included in.
Humans may host such a viewer, under usual conditions, somewhere behind their eyes. Transformation, Translation, sub organization of encapsulated field effects, the Energy of the viewer's Body - all may change - possibly even fully over time. However, the viewer itself, who realistically was generated by certain pattern configurations of physical fields, or may was placed inside them, is sometimes able to hold up a connected reality over a longer timescale. Imagine what that viewer is. May another Person, sitting there viewing? But that is a paradox. To best of my knowledge, no physical model can or will describe this viewer. You are simply magic!
PS: Yes, I think there is: sensor streaming. dynamic filtering. linked stream combining. sub processing algorithms. neuronal networkS. storage cells. temple bindings. many more ... dynamic result processing (your viewers nD Cinema, wherever it happens to be processed). However, if we built a machine, it could maybe learn walking, talking, may even acting as any surrounding human, but would it generate its own viewer at some point, simply by copying all such principals? To me, the viewer remains a transcendent mystery.
Can you break this philosophy? Meaning, can you state, exactly, logical, what the 'viewer' is? Also consider the question: When does nature start to generate a viewer? So, I don't think, a tree has its own 'viewer', but does it? I don't mean answers like 'stimulating waves, leading to brain regions getting active unordered, and consciousness is alive'. What is the viewer?
I offer € 16,18 (sixteen Euro and eighteen Cent) for each of the first 7 pretty good answers, I receive (email(private) or forum(public)). (or the total money which is left over from the 7x for really resolving the question)
