A Categorical Model of General Consciousness
Abstrak
Consciousness is liable to not be defined in scientific research, because it is an object of study in philosophy too, which actually hinders the integration of research on a large scale. The present study attempts to define consciousness with mathematical approaches by including the common meaning of consciousness across multiple disciplines. By extracting the essential characteristics of consciousness—transitivity—a categorical model of consciousness is established. This model is used to obtain three layers of categories: objects, materials as reflex units, and consciousness per se in homomorphism. The model forms a framework that details neurons or AI parts that can be treated as variables or functional locales of the model to be joined. Consequently, consciousness is quantified algebraically, which helps in determining and evaluating consciousness with views that integrate nature and artifacts. Current consciousness theories and computation theories are analyzed to support the model.
