Chapter 886 Enlightenment

In the peach blossom forest, under the pergola.

This is a very dark place where no one can see it.

Handsome men and beautiful women, being among them, could have accomplished a lot.

But at this time, Brother Liu must sit up straight, cheer up, and listen to Gu Fan talk about the universe.

Gu Fan's expression was very serious.

"When this universe was created, matter and energy made up the world."

“When matter and energy interact, the information generated constitutes consciousness.”

"Like two sides of a coin, two ends of a magnetic pole, one must have the other."

"So, consciousness did not suddenly fall from the sky when organisms evolved a complex system like the brain. It already existed when the universe was born, because at that time, there was already information."

Hearing this, Brother Liu suddenly felt a little moved.

The theory mentioned by Gu Fan coincides with the "material universe" and "consciousness universe" that he has understood.

"so."

But Gu Fan came to Liu Di's table, suddenly bent down, and looked at Liu Di closely, "The world of consciousness is so ethereal, and the human brain is just a ball of sticky meat. How are they connected?"

Gu Fan straightened up, "It's because of the level of integration I mentioned."

“No conscious experience can be divided into two smaller parts.”

"For example, can you split the pain in your heart into two? If you don't close one eye, can you block half of the vision in front of you?"

“The more intense and clear the state of consciousness, the more indivisible it is.”

"High integration, this is the second characteristic of consciousness."

Brother Liu suppressed his strong impulse.

But the little devil boy couldn't help it. He closed his left eye for a while, closed his right eye for a while, and opened his eyes again.

Gu Fan stretched out his index finger, "People are unconscious when undergoing anesthesia surgery. If you measure the brain at this time, you will find that the brain areas are very chaotic and work independently. There is almost no communication between each other and the information is integrated with each other. The level is very low, so the consciousness is very weak or even non-existent.”

"The other opposite situation is when a person is asleep and dreaming. At that time, the patterns of various brain areas are highly consistent, and they can not only construct pictures, but even feelings."

Brother Liu was thoughtful.

In other words, the residents of this brain world, that is, vegetative people in reality, are in a state between anesthesia and sleep and cannot wake up, but their brains are highly integrated.

Brother Liu couldn't help but raise his head and stared at Gu Fan with flashing eyes.

She never expected that she could understand consciousness so thoroughly.

“So, consciousness comes from integration.”

Gu Fan turned around and said, "If you want to improve your mental power, you must improve your integration."

Brother Liu was stunned, "How to integrate? Transform your own brain?"

Gu Fan shook his head, "It integrates all things, and all things have spirits."

“Why are dogs loyal to their owners?”

"Why can the Venus flytrap close its mouth?"

“Why do microorganisms swim?”

"They're all conscious because they all get information."

Gu Fan pulled off a peach blossom, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it gently, "It's the same with this peach blossom. You can feel me touching it and experiencing its fragrance, and it will become conscious."

At this time, the demon boy who was writing furiously said: "She is right. Someone once did an experiment on abusing plants. When the 'murderer' came close to the plant later, the biological fluctuations of the plant were obviously disordered."

Gu Fan added: "Many people are worried that artificial intelligence is developing so fast now. Will it one day produce consciousness and then enslave humans? Integrated information theory will tell you that it is too late for you to worry. Artificial intelligence has long been Already conscious!"

Devil Boy: "Yes, yes, yes!"

immediately.

Gu Fan knelt down again, picked up a stone, and handed it to Brother Liu, "Including this stone, it can feel the wind, the changes in the seasons, and when I pick it up, it may be thinking, what are you doing?" Time to put me down?"

Brother Liu was stunned and stared at the stone in front of him and said, "It's not a living thing. According to what you said, since it has its own thoughts, why doesn't it react?"

"It disdains."

I saw Gu Fan carefully putting the stone back on the ground.

Brother Liu was dumbfounded, "Disdain? Is this also its consciousness?"

"Um."

Gu Fan nodded and said: "This stone may have a lifespan of hundreds of millions of years, but we are in front of it, growing and dying quickly, just like we ignore the microorganisms in the air, it will ignore us."

hiss

Liu Di took a breath again, "Where did you learn these things?"

Gu Fan turned around and looked at Brother Liu, "After my brother fell into coma, I started reading relevant information. Plus, I have some unique talents, so I quickly understood this."

Brother Liu suddenly fell silent.

It turned out to be the same reason.

"Then now Mr. Liu knows the principle."

"I'll teach you how to release your spiritual power."

But Gu Fan stood up with a smile, came behind Liu Di, pulled back his hair, and put his hands on Liu Di's shoulders.

Gu Fanqing said: "Brother Liu, look at this world, look carefully, and remember every inch of the scenery that comes into your eyes, every piece of grass, stone, and peach blossom."

Liu Di's right eye flashed purple, and in front of him was a sea of ​​pink flowers, a pleasant scenery.

next moment.

Brother Liu wants to look back.

But he put a pair of small hands on his chin and said, "Don't look at me, it's hard for me to see through."

Then.

Gu Fan gently stroked Liu Di's eyes, "Close your eyes, then recall the pictures just now, feel their consciousness, and integrate them into your own thinking. Only in this way can you present them."

In Liu Di's mind, the pictures that Mo Tong had just taken flashed through.

Gu Fan smiled and said, "Student Liu, don't be lazy. Buddha said, there is no self, no law, no discrimination, and consciousness is as ethereal as light smoke. It cannot be forced, just let it go."

"There are "I" everywhere in this universe.

"I" is not alone.

In the cosmology of integrated information theory, we are surrounded by consciousness -

Consciousness, in the air we breathe,

Under the land we step on,

In every star above our heads, it illuminates the entire universe. "

Gu Fan's voice is like some kind of chanting, ethereal and beautiful.

Liu Di tried hard to cooperate, even tried his best, but his mind was still confused.

But Mo Tong suddenly slapped the desk, "I cracked it!"

Liu Di replied in his mind: "I am practicing, children, don't make trouble, or the teacher will find out. "

"I was inspired by Teacher FaFa!"

The demon boy puffed out his chest and said, "The amount of information in the conscious mind is only 40 bits per second, but the amount of information in the subconscious mind is 40 million bits per second. The subconscious mind occupies 95% of our functions!"

"If you can't control the subconscious mind, it's like a blind man riding a wild horse, and you will be thrown off your horse!"

"So, the ultimate secret of controlling mental power is the subconscious mind!"
