On Consciousness

[CCoburn]

I'm sorry, but this conversation has somehow diverted into issues far from my original intent of seeking thoughts on the nature of consciousness. I'm not understanding the issues raised here. Perhaps this is simply the wrong venue.

Maybe this is because consciousness is turning out to be something far from your original thoughts on what the nature of consciousness is, or ought to be, and I suppose it could still be articulated to an extent even though its true nature is not quantifiable and of a seemingly unknown/unproven quality.

Maybe the television program analogy isn't too far off in some ways. A TV program is a decoding and manifestation of non-observable waveform data often transmitted over the air via carrier waves(EM energy).

Nikola Tesla once said that if one wants to understand the universe(which would include consciousness), that energy, frequency, and vibration would be very important here. Energy travels in waves, and frequency is a count of wavelengths per second, and last but not least the oscillations of vibration; vibration/oscillation is very similar to frequency – it's the redundancy of repetitiveness...

I apologize, I'm not trying to make "waves" here, but then you got brainwaves initiated by neural "oscillations". If it's an active wave then consciousness is still alive; if it's a flatline or no wave then consciousness is dead – like the "TV program" that is animated via its waveform carrier signal.
