1. Explain the virtual simulation theory of consciousness.
The book described, “We already intimately know that the brain is a virtual simulator because of dreaming where everything is hallucinated by us, even without us knowing how and why we are doing it”. / “Everything we perceived it is not in real time, as there is a delay on perception in nanoseconds from our perception to our actions”. It is my understanding that our mind subconscious directs our physiological body, therefore the delay we experience in nanoseconds time delay to our actual actions: from our perception to create a consciousness and thereof to create a form of what we perceive as a reality.
I think it is also important to understand awareness and the book explained it with the analogy of an orchestra “….…..….” In interpreting the analogy I understand that the brain forms many mind (views) perspectives about our world and that all those perspectives (views) synchronized together and keep synchronizing through out our lives to form one unison conscious mind that then comes to be the conductor of the orchestra of all of our mind (views) perspectives, which would be; the consciousness. Furthermore, as stated in the book self-consciousness in fact means: “that you are conscious of others being conscious of you”. / “Or say ‘I am reflecting’ when you mean you are aware of yourself thinking”. / ”In other words the ability to turn inward to introspect or reflect may be a sort of metaphorical extension of the mirror neuron ability to read others minds”. (Is the universe and app? By Professor Dr. David Lane.) My interpretation is that the experiences or perceptions that we accumulate through our life come to form a subconscious and conscious sense of (virtual) reality, as we know it. “Consciousness isn't a thing to be described among other things, since it is the context, not the content, of what is experienced”. I think that daydreaming is an example of virtual reality, as our firing neurons start to process information from sub consciousness to creating consciousness allowing you to recreate or form a sense of virtual reality and at the same time you find yourself to be like an auto pilot mode, were you keep driving or walking or working wile at the same time daydreaming.
