Conscious entity
Index note Carbon vs Silicon matrix (humans with computer behaviour, computers with human behaviour…)
Conscious entity in a body, referred as being, which holds beliefs, which is simply the definitions useful for communication and thinking. Science fails to take it into account because we crated science, because a being does not see itself, rather observes everything else other than itself, but we can think the idea of consciousness embedded in a human body, a conscious entity thinking about its own existence.
We (conscious entities) live in this matter world, somehow the consciousness as described and known is an emergent property. Does it merely exist like other forces like gravity, or is a manifestation of space time fabric.
In our realm, the brains are mainly human, and we have created computers from the resources and knowledge we had. Humans (Carbon C) and computers (Silicon Si) have created humans with humanlike performance, humans with computer like behavior, computers with human like behaviors (AI), computers with computer like performance. In all humans are a biological machine, while computers are silicon machine, with the unknown exception that we know we have sentience, whereas we don’t realize if computers are sentient. On low complexity the sentience can just be weak, as for the case for single cellular organisms, or single neurons. It may not be associated with anything, or might be.
Humans exist on this planet to experience, to build a future, as they live their life. These emotional sentient beings capable of what a modern computer can do, logical reasoning. If consciousness was given some supernatural entity, there is no guarantee that complex computing silicon based systems will not get it, if it was an emergent property of the universe.
