Me: And what is the difference? How are 'thoughts associated with reflection' different from 'reflection'?
Huge difference -- one implies consciously ‘experiencing’, the other implies consciously ‘doing’ (i.e. conscious ‘causation’). One is possible, the other is not.
I have no idea what you mean by 'conscious causation'.
Me: Does this apply to all verbs? We do not 'run', we just 'experience a physical event associated with running'?
Yes, correct! Because of CTD, we can’t consciously ‘do’ anything, we can only consciously experience that which has already been ‘done’. We can’t consciously move our bodies about -- we can only be conscious of our bodies moving about. Again, a huge difference in meaning, between the two statements.
So our bodies move about without us having any control over them, we are helpless passengers!

In that case, what does control our bodies? Do they simply move at random? Is there some ghostly spirit that directs them? No; that cannot work because the ghostly spirit would also not be doing the moving because of CTD. Again we are back in the infinite regress, where no movement is possible because the thing really responsible for the moving is always one step before the one we are looking at.
Our consciousness is a delayed view of reality. That which we consciously experience as happening, has already happened!
It can't have 'already happened' because it had 'already happened' before it 'already happened'. And before that 'already happened' it had 'already happened'. And so on. See Zeno's Paradox.

Your idea requires God as 'first cause'. While all other consciousness can only passively receive thoughts, there must be this exceptional entity, not subject to CTD, that can originate them. I do not run. I am only the passive witness of God's fitness regime, in which God is occupying my body.

As I have said before, such metaphysical theories cannot be disproved, but there is no end of them and every one is as good as any other.

It's not unreasonable to view people and things around us as composed of particles which are interacting. If that is true, it's not unreasonable to say that consciousness per se does nothing. What IS highly dubious is to take this whole view, built up from conscientious empirical science, and then even begin to speculate that it is "like" something to be a person - it's no more scientific than going on about God & ghosts. If you're going to pledge allegiance to the scientific method, you may as well go all the way.

We can explain every object or process that we name as not existing in itself, but being only the product of the interactions of other things. If so, we would have to take a sort of holistic, undifferentiated view of the universe.

I don't think that is wrong, but it is not descriptive of subjective experience, in which the world is divided into me - and not-me. Indeed, one could start instead from subjective experience and take that all the way, denying the reality of not-me and saying the universe only exists as an object in consciousness, which isn't wrong either.

But if we try to mix them up, treating consciousness as if it was an object in science, we are taking science into an area that it simply cannot address. To state the obvious, it isn't measurable; there are no quantities of consciousness. And vice-versa; for the same reason nobody treats objects of thought as if they were part of the empirical world dealt with by science.

RJG:
The presence of neurons does not help reduce, or eliminate CTD. Impulses traveling between neurons consume time, which only ‘contribute’ to the overall CTD value (the amount of time delay).
Motor neurons. Remember that word. Motor.

As I said in my other posts, if you want to split the events I have listed in to a more detailed series of sub-events and insert the word "delay" between each of those sub-events, go ahead. It changes nothing. The amount of time delay is irrelevant. If the delay was 100 years, it wouldn't change the principle.
CTD is a time “lag”, which means that consciousness can NEVER catch up to (and affect) to the happenings in reality.
Conscious sensation indeed cannot do that, because it is a sensation. Conscious motor activity can. As already explained, we cannot sense the results of our motor activities until after those results have happened. That doesn't mean we didn't cause them.
Yes, you remembered this: We become ‘conscious’-of-sensing, only AFTER we (our body) sensed these things.
Yes.
But then forgot this: We become ‘conscious’-of-causing, only AFTER we (our body) has caused things.
No I didn't forget this. I explictly stated it.
"Consciously causing" is as impossible as a "married bachelor" or "square circle". Consciousness implies AFTER, and causation implies BEFORE. These are 'mutually exclusive'.
I'll repeat it again. Sensory neurons sense things after they have happened. Motor neurons cause things to happen in the future. Sensory neurons, later, detect whether those things did in fact happen, after they happened. The timeline, as I've set it out before, is very, very simple.
Because consciousness always follows that which it is conscious of, then conscious causation, or consciously doing anything is impossible, …making all conscious experiences, simply ‘passive’ experiences.
Conscious sensing follows that which it is conscious of. You're still only talking about "experience" - i.e. sensations. You're still ignoring the presence of motor neurons.
Yes. We become ‘conscious’-of-sensing, AFTER we (our body) sensed these things.
Correct. We sense things after they have happened. Sensory. Motor. Try to remember both of those two words. Can you do that for me?
Our consciousness ALWAYS “lags” the events happening in reality. It can never catch up to, and affect the events happening in reality. It is as futile as chasing one’s own shadow.
I'll say it over and over again. Our sensations lag the events happening in reality, including the events that were caused by our motor functions.
Conscious causation is IMPOSSIBLE.
Incorrect.

There is no sensation of causing. Motor neurons don't have sensations. There is the sensation (after the event) of what happened in the rest of the world (inculding the rest of our bodies) as a result of the actions of our motor neurons.

Same thing.

RJG:

Jeez.



Me:
1.
Events in the world: Ball is 3 metres from my hand.
Events in my brain: Nothing relevant. I haven't seen the ball moving yet.
Delay

2.
Events in the world: Ball is 2 metres from my hand.
Events in my brain: I perceive the ball 3 metres from my hand.
Delay

3.
Events in the world: Ball is 1 metre from my hand.
Events in my brain: I perceive the ball 2 metres from my hand. I issue a command to my hand telling it to catch the ball. It sets off down my nervous system towards my hand.
Delay

4.
Events in the world: The command reaches my hand as the ball reaches my hand. My hand closes around it.
Events in my brain: I perceive the ball 1 metre from my hand.
Delay

5.
Events in the world: My hand is holding the ball.
Events in my brain: I perceive my hand catching the ball.

6.
Events in the world: My hand is holding the ball.
Events in my brain: I perceive my hand holding the ball.
For example, when I was a baby I sent a command saying "move leg" and a bit later I got a sensation from the input labelled "eyes" of a pink thing moving. Slightly after this I got another sensation from the input labelled "legs" which I took to be the feeling of something happening down there. That sequence of events seemed to happen in that way quite consistently. So I learned to assume (later on in life without really thinking about it) that I had these things called "legs" and that I could control them with my brain with only a small time lag.
Sensory neurons sense things after they have happened. Motor neurons cause things to happen in the future. Sensory neurons, later, detect whether those things did in fact happen, after they happened. The timeline, as I've set it out before, is very, very simple.
Motor neurons don't have sensations. There is the sensation (after the event) of what happened in the rest of the world (including the rest of our bodies) as a result of the actions of our motor neurons.

Steve, so what is it specifically, that you 'consciously (knowingly) caused'? ... is it the movement of your motor neurons?

Whatever this X is, what came first? ...the consciousness-of-X, or X itself?

If X comes first, then it is too late to cause it. 'Conscious causation' is a logical impossibilty.

Consciousness always lags reality, and therefore can never affect reality.

The firing of my motor neurons.

X = "the firing of my motor neurons". The conscious decision came before X. As I said, I'm not conscious of X. I'm conscious of inputs, not outputs. I am a feedback loop.
If X comes first, then it is too late to cause it. 'Conscious causation' is a logical impossibilty.
The firing of my motor neurons comes after the decision that resulted in them firing.

You've switched back to using that word "reality" again. I'd prefer to stick with more clearly defined words. You know the trouble you got into with "delay" and "event", when you muddled the definitions of those two words.

-- Updated Wed Nov 22, 2017 3:37 pm to add the following --

Here's the feedback loop (a shortened version of what I've already posted):

1. > Event in the outside world >
2. > Input >
3. > Sensory neuron >
4. > Decision >
5. > Motor neuron >
6. > Output >
7. > Goto 1 >


Question: Remembering that this is an infinite loop, does event 4 lag event 1? Or does it happen before event 1? Or both?

Yes, this feedback loop shows the events happening in reality (in ‘real-time’). But you are missing all the corresponding ‘conscious’ events, those happening in the conscious mind of the observer (in ‘conscious-time’). I’ve added these to your feedback loop in RED.

As you can see, ALL events (actions/decisions/inputs/outputs) happen PRIOR to the consciousness-of-said-event. And ALL the consciousness-of-each-event happens AFTER each event. It does not matter how detailed, or long, you wish make this list, or how far back you wish to “kick-the-can-down-the-road”, consciousness will always lag reality at each and every step.

The consciousness-of-X is AFTER X. Consciousness can never get out in front (come before) anything to 'cause' it, ...it is always the slow-poke, lagging behind.

Steve3007 wrote:Question: Remembering that this is an infinite loop, does event 4 lag event 1? Or does it happen before event 1? Or both?
Your question is referring to the time difference in sequential events happening in reality; from one real-time event to another real-time event. This has NOTHING to do with our conscious time lag (CTD). CTD is the time lag between conscious-time and real-time. It is time consumed in the ‘conscious realization’ of an event happening in reality.

No.

Correct. I am not conscious of having caused my motor neurons to fire until after they have fired. When I send a signal to my motor neurons, obviously I have no way to tell, at that point, whether anything will happen as a result. Past experience has taught me that something probably will. But it might not. Past experience has taught Professor Stephen Hawking that it probably won't.
So then was this “decision” consciously caused?
This decision was made during step 4. (Break step 4 down into some more detail if you like.)
If so, then what came first - the ‘decision’ or the consciousness-of-the-decision, …the ’X’ or the ‘consciousness-of-X’?
See the feedback loop.
Yes, this feedback loop shows the events happening in reality (in ‘real-time’). But you are missing all the corresponding ‘conscious’ events, those happening in the conscious mind of the observer (in ‘conscious-time’). I’ve added these to your feedback loop in RED.
You are incorrect to add the red parts to the feedback loop. The feedback loop is not missing any events in the brain. As I've said, if you wish to break step 4 down into more detail, feel free to do so.
As you can see, ALL events (actions/decisions/inputs/outputs) happen PRIOR to the consciousness-of-said-event. And ALL the consciousness-of-each-event happens AFTER each event.
Incorrect, because you were incorrect to change the feedback loop by adding the parts in red.
Your question is referring to the time difference in sequential events happening in reality; from one real-time event to another real-time event.
Everything, including things happening in my brain, happens in reality, as I understand the definition of that word.
This has NOTHING to do with our conscious time lag (CTD). CTD is the time lag between conscious-time and real-time.
There is no such difference. There are events happening in the reality of the external world and events happening in the reality of my brain. The event in my brain which we could call "sensing event X in the outside world" happens after the event called "event X in the outside world". The event in my brain which we could call "triggering event Y in the outside world" happens before the event called "event Y in the outside world".

Yes, it matters because you are trying to differentiate one part of our consciousness from 'something else'; 'the controller'. If you cannot say what that 'something else/controller' is, then it is a difference without a difference.

'Urges' / 'internal forces' will not do, since that is just saying the same thing as 'something else'. If you are claiming there is a measurable distance in between two things, then you have to be able to locate both of them. 'Bodily chain-reactions' will not work for the same reason; a 'chain-reaction' is not a fixed point such that we can take measurements from it.
This is called "playing the Zeno card" -- presumably because of one's inability to psychologically accept an 'ugly' truth.
It is only called that by you, because you are unwilling to deal with it.

'Window of consciousness' is only a metaphor which you have taken too far. Consciousness is not literally an object, such that it has sides.

Also we have now made the metaphysics even more complicated with the introduction of 'reality'. Aren't we part of reality? If not, if we can only 'view' reality, that means reality and our consciousness are separate things. And the name we usually give to our consciousness to indicate its peculiar status is 'mind' - but that is something you object to. So our consciousness is not 'reality', yet we are not allowed to differentiate it from reality either.

I think we can discuss consciousness in terms of neurons, or we can discuss phenomenology, or even the metaphysics of linear time and First Causes, but this drifting from one to the other is hopeless. No wonder exotic creatures like God are starting to turn up in the net.

If CTD is the time lag between "conscious time" and "real time"... people do manage to drive the mars rovers from Nasa, you know. That's quite a time lag, but it's simply accounted for by the experts. If some part of your brain is the consciousness part, then there's really no insurmountable problem.
4. > Decision > +CTD = consciousness of said decision >


This makes some interesting and bizarre assumptions. A lot of higher brain stuff is composed of circling and bouncing synapses, not just one switch clinking on or off.

As inputs are coming in, that information is in a state of continuously modifying the circling / bouncing processing in the brain, and continually coming out of that is decisions to act, decisions to wait and watch, and so on. These "sparks", thrown out by the fireball of the brain's processing modify the body's current behaviors.

So outer events are swirling and throwing stimuli the brain's way, and the brain's processing is swirling and throwing stimuli toward our muscles, and it can't be simply broken down into 1,2,3,4,5. If you envision that brain swirl as causing or interfacing with consciousness per se, dualistic perhaps, then so be it. If you don't so be it. We might get closer to having an educated opinion about this question as we move closer to modeling human behaviors / neurons with a computer simulation.
