| 0:00.0 | There could be multiple consciousness. Of course, one will not be aware of the other and possibly |
| 0:05.5 | not even able to infer the agency, even if it was. We do not become conscious after the PhD. |
| 0:11.0 | We become conscious before we can track a finger. So I suspect that consciousness allows |
| 0:15.2 | the self-organization of information processing systems in nature. |
| 0:20.7 | Yoshabakh and Carl Fristin, today's Theolocation guests, are known for their work in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and philosophical inquiry. |
| 0:28.6 | Bach, an AI researcher, delves into cognitive architectures and computational models of consciousness and psychology. |
| 0:35.6 | Fristin, a neuroscientist, is lauded for his |
| 0:38.6 | development of the free energy principle, a theory explaining how biological systems maintain order. |
| 0:45.1 | This framework of neural processes is rooted in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. |
| 0:50.2 | Yoshi has been on this podcast several times, one solo, another with Ben Gorsal, another with John Verveke, another with Michael Levin, and one more with Donald Hoffman. |
| 0:59.5 | Whereas Carl Friston has also been on several times, twice solo, another between Carl Fristin and Mike Eleven, and another with Carl and Anna Lemke. |

| 1:17.4 | and the third is on more dark philosophical implications, as well as how to avoid existential |
| 1:23.1 | turmoil precipitated by earnestly contending with these heavy ideas. For those of you who don't know, my name is Kurt Jymungle, and there's this podcast here |
| 1:31.5 | called Theories of Everything, where we investigate theories of everything from a physics |
| 1:35.6 | perspective, primarily as my backgrounds in math and physics. |
| 1:39.0 | But as well as I'm interested in the larger questions on reality, such as what is consciousness, |
| 1:43.7 | what constitutes it, what gives rise is consciousness, what constitutes it, what |
| 1:45.0 | gives rise to consciousness, what counts as an explanation. You could think of this channel as |
| 1:49.2 | exploring those questions you, well, at least I sit and ponder at nighttime and daytime incessantly. |
