The Cybernetics and Mathematics of Consciousness

Dear readers, I proudly announce my new book: "The Cybernetics and Mathematics of Consciousness" in the series "Bridging Science and Spirituality".

If you are not convinced by the idea of reductive materialists, that consciousness magically emerges from complexity in material structures or processes or if you are not satisfied with the viewpoint of idealists that matter is a mere thought form, then the present hypothesis may be something for you. This is however a popular science book, so don't expect to be drowned in formulas and equations.

In this collection of Capita Selecta from my previous books, I will address the cybernetic dynamics of consciousness. Starting from the premise that Consciousness is the Ontological Primitive, I will propose mechanisms which may explain how a digital mathematical and material existence can be generated.

Digging into Category Theory, Computational Simulacra and Quantum Computing, I will explore the mechanics of self-sustaining self-referential feedback loops as the Modus Operandi of Consciousness.

Let's dive in the vortex of kaleidoscopic reflections, the wormhole of a dazzling "mise-en abyme" of recursiveness and the rollercoaster of the quantum non-locality. Explore the map which is the territory simultaneously by drawing your map of maps. Discover the non-dual bridge closing the gap between Science and Spirituality.

Meta-system Extropy: exploring a Panpsychic formulation of a new Measure of Order and Chaos

In this essay I'd like to formulate some brainstormed ideas about quantification of order as imposed by autopoietic systems. Any contribution to develop these ideas further and to brainstorm with me is welcome.

I would like to integrate the information on emergence, self-organisation, teleology and autopoiesis:

Entropy is not a good measure of order/chaos when it comes to autopoietic, self-organising systems (e.g. living systems), which can replicate.

Each level has its own ordering capacity contribution, its own resonance recruiting frequency, which must be multiplied by the number of entities in the level to get to the total ordering capacity.

The order of a system is not simply its information-wise statistical orderly spread in an n-dimensional grid, but also should entail the capacity to autocatalytically regenerate itself, its meme-spreading capacity, its "virality/infectivity" or proliferability.

As far as I know there are not many theories describing the virality/diffusion speed of meme spreading.

Autopoietic systems exist in a hierarchy of levels, where the number of autopoietic entities encompassed by the level above increases when going to higher levels. An example from the lowest physical systems up to "living" systems that we know of:
