Consciousness is attached to MATTER, consciousness controls matter, man is conscious, stone is not conscious, does robot also have consciousness? Is consciousness a neuron?
In my cognitive world, matter determines consciousness, and then consciousness determines matter, and then matter determines consciousness...... And so on and so on, without beginning or ending. Whether it is matter or consciousness, in different stages of connotation or have different. So in this sense, materialism is not wrong, it can find its own starting point. Idealism is not wrong, it can find its own starting point. In fact, it is only because of the difference in the starting point that a series of cognitive differences are triggered. Trying to decide which came first is like trying to decide which came first. As far as the chicken or the egg is concerned, it can also be studied as an academic problem. It's just that in terms of the evolutionary history of the chicken, its ancestors were not the same as today's, and could not even be called chickens or eggs. In the same way, consciousness and matter go back in the cycle, and their original form is not the same as the present one, so what is their original form? Definition of matter: the smallest unit that constitutes an object. Matter can be elements, elementary particles, or smaller objects. Because the smallest unit means a point mass, it's called a matter. In other words, in the composition of the body, the body is no longer segmented, is called matter. However, the granularity of the segmentation is mainly to satisfy the need, but also limited by the extent of our understanding of exploring the micro world. No matter what scale of objects, whether constituted or constituted objects, all conform to "the objective reality that does not depend on people's consciousness and can be reflected by people's consciousness". Definition of structure: the relationship (mainly the spatial and temporal position) between the materials that make up an object. When an object interacts with other objects in the outside world, its constituent substance remains unchanged, its structure changes, and its function shows. For example, a stone that can knock other stones apart exhibits an elastic function that is caused by molecular forces resulting from changes in the microstructure between its constituent materials. Another example is the neural network, where the substance refers to neurons and the structure refers to the network structure between neurons. Different network structures represent different processing logic, so that the neural network will produce different operation results and show different functions externally. Matter and structure are two sides of a body, and cannot exist in isolation from each other. Matter cannot do without structure, because matter itself is also a kind of object, the smallest unit of object divided according to the functional structure, and it also has a more microscopic material structure. Likewise, structure requires matter. If there is no matter, there can be no relationship between matter. Therefore, matter and structure can be vividly expressed in Tai Chi: one reality and one emptiness, one static movement, interdependent, mutual implication, mutual transformation, there is no question of who is the primary nature and who is the secondary nature. As for mind, strictly speaking it is a function, a complex function of a very, very complex material structure in operation, currently represented by the neural network structure of adult higher organisms (human). Different people, because of the different upbringing environment, experience, the structure of the neural network will be different. When processing information, it will produce different results, so as to show different psychology, consciousness, emotion, thinking and so on. These performances are collectively called spirit. "Spirit is the projection and reflection of matter" is a relatively general explanation given in the past when cognition is insufficient, then a more accurate and approximate description should be "cognition is the projection and reaction of things". When it comes to a certain person, man himself is an objective thing, an objective thing's cognition of other things, and can be figuratively likened to the "projection and reflection" of things. (Note: a thing is a description of the evolution process of an object in a period of time. Compared with an object, a time attribute is added, extending from static to dynamic.) So, how does one thing know another thing?
