Topic Camp Tree
This section is a table of contents for this topic. It is in outline or tree form, with supporting sub camps indented from the parent camp. If you are in a sub camp, you are also counted in all parent camps including the agreement camp at the top. The numbers are canonized scores derived from the people in the camps based on your currently selected canonizer on the side bar. The camps are sorted according to these canonized scores. Each entry is a link to the camp page which can contain a statement of belief. The green line indicates the camp page you are currently on and the statement below is for that camp.
Camp Statement
Mind is an illusion, created by the brain, in order to simplify the control of a complex processing system that is self-programming. Many of the mysteries of the experience of the mind, can be explained as simplifying illusions, necessary to implement a specific Architecture of processing using processing elements based on nerve cells.
Attempts to explain the Brains function using the Experience of Consciousness as a guide are misguided, because the illusions are seamlessly integrated into perception. As a result, the illusions overcome the reality, in phenomenal attempts to explain the brain.
Part of the problem is that it is the assumption of identity, that creates the impression that you can work back from experience to the mechanisms of the brain, where in reality you need to work forwards from the mechanisms of the brain, to learn about the illusions that are required to explain the mind.
