A Unified Computational Framework for Subjective Experience and Objective Reality: A Solution to the Hard Problem of Consciousness
2025 IEEE Conference on Engineering Informatics November 3, 2025 Mahendra Samarawickrama
This work advances the computational account of mind and consciousness, distinguishing them from high-performance computing. We adopt the Turing-theoretic interpretation and argue that the mind is best modelled as a universal Turing machine equipped with formally unbounded memory. Physical systems, including quantum computers, von Neumann architectures, organoids, and the brain as a biological...
