Self-Organization of Mind in CBM-like Environment

Abstract:In this essay-like report I argue that self-organization of mind can take place even in a hardware neural environment with unchangeable synapses, provided the environment supports a sufficient number of state variables (ATR's CBM belongs to this class of hardware). The discussion is preceded by an introduction to the field of discrete dynamic systems. A novel interpretation of the notions of state and complexity is proposed.
