Thinking AI and Being

What is thinking, for me thinking feels like its a reflection of mind, its a thought impinging on the brain to produce another thoughts, or neural spikes triggering another neurons, a mesh of neurons resulting in the thought process formed by small thoughts, and brain is like an engine which results in conscious experience feelings etc. and sustains itself through thought processes with the help of physical processes with moving matter through synapses forming memories and storing them for later thinking.

Thinking can happen in many forms, but the informative thinking is possible through languages. We can think in feelings, words, visually, musically, whatever form of neural mesh is responsible for it. An example of Large Language Model (LLM) thinking would be to feedback its output to itself, as if the thoughts are falling on itself which results in a continuous thinking output that we can also observe. But essentially, may it would be similar to a pre-trained transformer constantly predicting the next word.

language for brain can be imagined as neural pathways running ionic currents through complex intrigue diverse mesh (just imagine 100 billion of neurons and 1000 trillion synapses). If there is a flow pathway available when mind is taking in information, the pathway can be processed into as reasoning of its input, or other response of its input, (its better to think this visually, since each result follows the previous result, and thought process is continuous in that sense from neuron to neuron) (although I’m just writing my thoughts as resulting in my brain here, and this sentence is some high level description of activity relevant to this in my brain), whichever is best as on the flow of the laws of universe (although experience or feelings or you as you on conscious plane if can affect matter on minuscule level that affects thoughts in the entire brain through butterfly effect through mesh of neurons for e.g. on subtle noisy scale). In this, which forms the part of meta-universe (per say for definitions, but if universe is regarded as whole then it must include meta-universe stuff in readers definitions), and being are flowing or responding through its laws or rules, (only reader beings (in an imagined space of all existing beings) who can comprehend and are capable of producing such conscious states will understand what is meant), nothing which cannot be interacted with can never be understood can neither be comprehended, or so.

Sometimes I feel like my mind or brain responds to noises, and thoughts are affected by everything, but when focus comes in i.e. a task in a loop in neural activity in brain of the doer, other things such as noisy thoughts fail away and person engages in an activity which is locked, literally in spiking activity in the human brain. However, with person’s desire (through metaphysical conscious effort <- I have to agree to this just because of free will and the idea of consciousness affecting matter maybe on say quantum level) one may change their loop of thinking and engage in some other task. It is only the brain of the person, driven by complex physical processes in intricate neural mesh, external stimuli and consciousness. Conscious experience is the central core of human experience, although we seem to have no control over the subconscious which is maybe run by physical processes, until unless there something else unexplainable, but when something is taken as an idea and if meta-universe is unchanging in its laws, that idea can be thought in this imaginative space that we have access to through our brain minds (which apparently computers can process too, except maybe their activity states are not associated to consciousness in this world, depending on what one may think , their experience or feelings may change towards it leading to inconclusive or confused result, its always better to check it again, and still remain doubtful as the one who may be checking still might lack something and would lead to unsolvable mystery forever, but one believe on what it knows and trusts to be true of its form in whole existence).

The core thing one could trust is their self and their senses and what they feel, as that feeling thing is they. However though, your brain and body already may have accumulated past experiences and based on which your core feelings may change, but that is memories physically stored by your brain. All the experiences you feel are real, i.e. they exist as a phenomenon in your body, and body exists in this universe (meta-universe). Perhaps certainly its the educational bias of physical world that we normally observe leads to shift in definitions from what they normally should be, or new definitions can be assigned to those states. Getting someone to pinpoint towards an idea in conscious plane is maybe like building a structure which leads to it, an example could be like an artificial neural network which takes input and with the support of weights and biases it transforms the input into some other form, which, us beings can interpret and experience in conscious plane within our minds when we see/read/hear it through our senses.

One way to think beyond words is thinking visually, as we observe through our eyes, and use analogical model of it on other ideas to generate abstract thoughts, and the structure of these thoughts in the mind would guides thinking patterns through conscious space/sphere/plane.

Music may help when writing, maybe it would construct a vessel around the thoughts you could contain, may help focus depending on how the structure is. Tool to use while thinking is causality, and things affect to give rise to other things, continuity, and some physical knowledge of biological neural networks, which in fact, forms the brain of complex carbon based beings and life on this planet. Power of imagination is you can obtain the set of rules which governs this universe, and then construct new set of rules, maybe that universe is possible with completely new set of periodic table and elements…
and there is still mystery to me why some spiking activity feels like sound, while other spiking activity feels like vision, and some like smell, maybe we have segregated the response of ions leading to senses into distinguishable types, maybe its possible to feel smell and sound simultaneously in the neural network in some brain network.

Note : the perspective when reading may not be normal for all readers, the thoughts need to be looked upon as resulting from physical processes which makes sense (if its true so maybe but seems to be mostly is, or confidently “is”), however, more proof can only be there when brain scanning becomes viable on neural level, we need to develop tools that would help visualize brain activity on synaptic level and than map these to what they would be, and if these are uniquely mapped to activity which should be, according to science. Also, one needs to assume causality, and many assumption that maybe are unprovable for me, for e.g. real world really exists beyond your senses, but also not widely learned provable assumptions that there is no color to the light in the outside world as it is electromagnetic wave in fabric of space, as it only exists in the response in the brain say visual cortex, and maybe some people have synesthesia, however, as a single person with normal working senses its hard to observe and conclude those thoughts with this thought experiment with real brain of own. What can you do when one is a researcher doing spiking neural networks but experiments needs to be non-invasive and real, those lead to thought experiments with feelings as observed by the self due to its imagination. But this also hints at possible approval of irrational thoughts which are beyond awareness of the self. So all the content in the blog is just opinions.
