06. Information and effect

http://www.nonbit.com/06.html

It is necessary to clearly understand one thing – all sensations and thoughts in our perception, physical phenomena and energy exchange in the natural world – everything exists at the present time, in the short eyewink of the present. They constitute not information, but effect. We sense only NOW. And every approach in connection with the modeling of sensation must take it into account.

Information – this notion can be considered in two aspects:

- from the technical point of view information can be considered as a determinacy of certain pre-conditioned symbols or actions towards one or another signal or condition. This determinacy does not have sense for a technical information medium or processing device – book, picture, computer, television. For the reading of the sense an aware observer is required who understands the meaning of the information.

- from the philosophic and conceptual point of view information can be considered as a certain sense confined in physical phenomena put together in a certain way and expressed in form of a difference of the reflecting property due to which we perceive symbols, letters, image, or voltage drop in analogue and digital technologies.

Without an aware observer perceiving the meaning information does not exist immediately in the physical world, this is why information can be deemed virtual.



Effect is a physical phenomenon existing at the present time and accompanied by the energy exchange. The existence of effect is due to fundamental physical interactions. At the deep level the physical effect can be considered as a manifestation of the laws of nature under certain conditions.

Parts of the nature perceive one another and know how and in what events they must react. As a rule this is connected with spatial and temporal, and energy relations of the matter, one of which is, in particular, the electric field. We may say that effect exists for itself, as it is present at the present time and happens with the participation of the energy exchange. In physics the energy exchange is described as a process. In our case we must not muddle together effect and process. Process is a chain of effects occurring in the course of time. Effect is a time slice of process. Effect is an impulsion existing in the present, an urge for this exchange. For the energy exchange it is necessary to perceive at least two parts between which the exchange, the identification of their energy states occurs, the knowing of the scale of the process which must occur. A simultaneous perception of one another by global invariables under certain conditions determines effect as a result of their interaction and determines the notion of the immediate “existence for itself”. In this sense effect is real.

Information consists of effects put together in a certain way. Without the use of a physical basis information will not be expressed, transferred, saved, reproduced. As such basis paint on paper may serve with the help of which symbols are written, voltage in the mains and any other physically existing differences in which information is encoded. The reading of these effects is possible due to the physical interaction – the imbalance of the energy equilibrium in the vision analyzer based on a different reflecting capacity of the paint and the background due to which we see symbols on paper or screen, a voltage drop due to which the recognition of the bit and the start of certain actions is possible, as well as other manifestations of the physical world. Even the meaning exists as a certain interrelation of physical phenomena of the inanimate world or electric signals in the human brain. In a dead brain the meaning will not be manifested.

In modern technologies the effects of which information consists are based on the drop of the energy potential between two wires. They are extremely simple inside themselves and do not have complex relations. These drops in analogue technologies and bits in digital ones are distinguished in the course of time, not connected with one another in any way and do not impact one another. When one of them exists, the previous one is already gone, and the future one has not yet come.
It is impossible to compare effects isolated in the course of time. There is no comparing component. The discrete, spread over time information of state-of-the-art technologies does not work here. One individual bit (binary digit) does not have sense at the present time. It is necessary to put to consciousness existing just now the information which simultaneously comes from different receptors and which will be manifested in relation to the general equilibrium as a difference between one and another. In the short eyewink of the present time, at the time of operation of consciousness also meanings from the memory must be present there, as well as the present situation and the meaning of the future view for the purpose of planning. But all this must exist now. Otherwise we would immediately forget the past.

For the purpose of solving of this problem it is necessary to create instead of many simplest effects in form of a voltage drop between two wires a single complex uninterrupted effect occurring between many interacting parts in which a variety of simultaneous drops will represent meanings connected into sense.

In this way we will create complex relations which are manifested for it as information and existing at the present time. Technically it is possible to increase the complexity of effect by way of increasing of the number of conductors and elements in which the electric field is contained and on which it will deflect. Such approach can express quite complex values existing for the system itself.

Comparison which is the basis for sensations (please refer to Chapter 4) is physically possible only at the present time. The observer in relation to whom this deviation, difference is manifested and exists is the state of the energy equilibrium. The differences having certain values will exist in this event in form of electric distortions, an imbalance of the system. These distortions will be sensations for this particular observer.

Everything in the natural world exists and occurs only at the present time and simultaneously. This is some sort of a flexible effect of our world in which there are many other effects of different systems. As a system a set of elements can be considered here with energy interconnections which the exterior impacts do not affect. This creates emergence and subjectivity in the event of which the system perceives itself.

This is what determines the difference between virtual and real. A book does not understand the text contained in it, a machine does not understand or perceive what it produces. However the field perceives its condition and reacts, equalizes energy distortions across the whole its volume. The equalization of such distortion is current – the movement of the field from the higher potential to the lower one. If there are not two but millions of wires, and they are interconnected in a certain way, and the potentials can swap places, the effect can be very complex and really existing, whereas the distortions will completely fulfill the function of information.

One of indirect proofs of the correctness of such approach in the event of attempt to reproduce the analogue of our consciousness is the fact that nature did not have any opportunity to use the computer logic in order to create consciousness for living beings, or programs, double-wire power sources and other technologies. There was no initial observer in the natural world, and everything happening there had to be real, and not virtual. Nature used structural capacities of chemical substances and physical effects which originally did not require an observer and meaning, and enabled to develop the brain functions in an evolutionary way, by way of searching through structures and variants of connection which over hundreds of millions of years turned into neural networks.
