Exploring the Hypothesis that Consciousness is an Entification

Abstract

In current consciousness research, the major theories that originate in neuroscience deal with the integration of information, and many of the theoretical arguments originate from existence in the world. However, none of these approaches provide sufficient insights into computational mechanisms. In contrast, the entification process, in which the search for existence is performed on a data structure (aligned structure) that allows inductive reasoning, can provide a basic mechanism for information integration to recognize existence. In this study, we set up a working hypothesis that consciousness is an entification process. Next, we will consider the multifaceted position of the working hypothesis, and discuss approaches to studying the brain as a reference for the mechanism that performs the entification process.
