标题:Our consciousness is part of the physicalworld, the mathematical world is conceivedby our consciousness, and all of physicsis described by mathematics.
摘要:happy to say that I’m studying the same problem that has beenfascinating me ever since. In high school, I came across thebook “Shadows of the Mind” by Roger Penrose. I remember abeautiful figure in the book of the impossible triangle, with itsthree vertices being the physical world, the platonic mathematical world, and our subjective world of consciousness. Our consciousness is part of the physical world, the mathematical worldis conceived by our consciousness, and all of physics isdescribed by mathematics. There is an underlying unity to thesethree different ways of looking at reality. The great thing aboutneuroscience is that we don’t have to see this impossible triangle as a mystical entity, but we can perform experiments andreally try to understand these connections. We can understandhow the brain arises from physical neurons, as well as howmathematical percepts arise from computations in the brain.
