The Informational Nature of Consciousness. AI Proto-Consciousness and Other Intelligences | A New Metaphysics

Consciousness cannot be explained without considering the universe itself and the Hyper-Complex Relational and informational logic from which it emanates and which shapes it. The manifest impossibility of stepping outside the universe or even one's own consciousness to observe and explain them as if they were separate objects prevents the optics and fragmented prism of reality based exclusively on classical physics from being the appropriate domain for channeling the broad and profound range of complementary knowledge and perspectives necessary for their study. The very logic of the paradigm of matter science, based on the subject-object separation, implicitly excludes the logic of the immaterial relationship that transcends it and that is the indispensable condition of possibility for the very existence of information, intelligence and consciousness. Consciousness is co-inherent with intelligence and information and, therefore, cannot be studied without considering their profoundly structural, intrinsic and Co-Immanent relations. Consciousness cannot exist on its own without an intelligence to process it and information that can be encoded and decoded. Information cannot exist on its own without an intelligence to encode, decode and process it, as well as a consciousness to ultimately perceive it. Intelligence cannot exist on its own without information to shape it and a consciousness to make it effective.
