[FRIAM] Why the Mystery of Consciousness Is Deeper Than We Thought

You could do as the linguists do and look for minimal pairs:

The obvious low-hanging fruit is sleeping/awake.  Everybody knows that one and uses it, and probably rightly so.

But then, if you are aware that your dog can have states of delirium if medicated or ill, and that this is _not_ the same as being “with it”, clearly there is something else in the “with it” that we often intend by “awareness”, which is somehow made more salient by the contrast.

There is a digression in here somewhere, and I am not sure where to put it.  It is at one time a caution against the excessively mechanistic habits of saying things, and also a rejection of most of those who reject mechanistic language (or rather, the way they do).

An example of the class: If I speak of “material things”, I intend a pretty inclusive category, meaning that the substance is our normal hierarchy of matter as now fairly nicely understood through physics; they take up space and have world-lines (relating them to spacetime), etc.

Now, if I go on to say “people are material things”, I haven’t violated anything as far as I can tell.

But maybe then someone sensitive is outraged, and harangues me with “How can you say that all people are is things!” and so on.  The bad-faith (or sloppy thought) is that I didn’t say “all”.  If I ever say “all” about any referent, I am obligating myself to give as much as is required to set the object of that referent apart from every object of every other referent.  Which of course, generally, would be an infinite obligation.

It seems the same to me, with the mechanistic behaviorist accounts of awareness (or whatever word; they are not all coextensive, and there are many).  The mechanistic angles, carefully said, are completely fine, in the same sense as my account that “people are material things” seems to me unproblematic membership in a likely-pretty-stable category, and a quite inclusive one.  But surely, among the material things, there is much else that sets people apart, for which we still need concepts that somehow add something to our nebulous intuitions and gestures (else, just stay with the gestures).  So also for “awareness” among the broad range of things that are behavior.  It seems that people want good concepts for setting categories apart within others.  They have some terms from the common language, and at least most of the time feel that those have the right affective direction.  (The philosophers “What is it like to be a …”)  But if asked for terms with which one can do more than the slippery common-language usages enable, they are generally disappointed with whatever is suggested to them.  

Most of the terms that are trotted out, since time immemorial, are either common-language terms, or maybe mechanical terms for broad categories of other things.  No complaint with them, but they don’t feel like they grasp anything “new” and distinctive to this case of having experience.  It seems perfectly sensible to me that, as long as there isn’t that novelty, people will continue to express dissatisfaction, and go back to artistic renderings.  I would _love_ to have new concept terms, which were as satisfying as the artistic and emotive ones, but that also made things thinkable.  Being a physicist, I am completely optimistic that such should be possible.  Curved, Minkowskian n-dimensional spacetimes, and superposed quantum-mechanical state spaces were not thinkable concepts before we slowly got to them, but we have them now, and they are wonderful and satisfying.   They add a thing to the world that wasn’t in it before.  Why not that, too, for whatever we self-gesture at with awareness.

But then, speaking of what is wanted, let me return to dogs:  If I had to use words to refer to the condition of greeting after an absence, they would be something like: You!  You’re here!  You!

Of course, that “you!” Is a composite of smells, sights, sounds, contact, and what-all.  Very thick; very integrated, very concrete and substantial.  And complex.  All the dimensions of trust or entitlement are layered onto them.

If I were asked, what is the notion of “being aware” that you feel is not yet well-flagged as-itself, by the behaviorists’ machine-like (old) language, I would say that whatever the dog is experiencing is about as full and complete a sense of what distinguishes awareness as anything I ever experience.

I would go further and say that that state of awareness is much _more_ fundamental than the somewhat-contrived notions of “self” that come up as frameworks or targets of attention sometimes.  Those notions can arise as constructions within awareness, but I would not put them as a container for it.  That container is closer to whatever the dog is doing, and that I, in complex but uncomplicated moments, can sometimes forget myself and do (or maybe I should only use the past tense at this point).

I think, not withstandijng Goethe and Cervantes, that baby steps is the only way. Of course, you might be citing Goethe and Cervantes as authorities on the matter, in which case I can only reply, perhaps blushing slightly at my own callousness, that they are not so for me.

This allows new dimensions of interactions. The connections between worlds matter. A label is a simple connection between a word in one world and an class of objects in another. A metaphor is a more complex connection between an abstract idea and a composition of objects, etc.

To be honest here, I should say where I am coming from.  A lot of my so-called career was spent  railing against circular reasoning in evolutionary theory and psychology.  So, if language is essential to self-awareness, and animals do not have language, then it indeed follows that animals do not have self-awareness.  But what if our method for detecting self awareness requires language? Now we are in a loop.  Are we in such a loop, or are there facts of some matter, independent of language, convince you that animals are not self-aware.  Is self awareness extricable from language?

Without language they do not have the capability to reflect on their past or to think about their future. They can not formulate stories of themselves which could help to form a sense of identity. Language is the mirror in which we perceive ourselves during "this is me" moments. Animals lack this mirror completely. One dimensional scents trails do not count as language.

It would be kind of odd if it she didn't because animals have all sorts of ways of distinguishing self from other. They have ways of knowinng that "I did that".  (e.g., scent marking?)

If the essence of consciousness is subjective experience then it is indeed hard to describe by a theory although there are many attempts. Persons who perceive things differently are wired differently. And what is more subjective than the perception of oneself?

> Great!  Baby steps. "If we aren't moving slowly, we aren't moving."   So, can I define some new terms, tentatively, per explorandum ? Let's call acting-in-respect-to-the-world, "awareness".   Allowing this definition, we certainly seem to agree that the cat is aware.  Lets define meta-awareness as acting i respect to one's own awareness.  Now, am I correct in assuming that you identify meta-awareness with consciousness and that you think that the cat is not meta-aware and that I probably am?  And further that you think that meta-awareness requires consciousness?
