Abstract

By demonstrating a thought experiment to stop the stream of consciousness, the concept of consciousness as a complex system with an ever-increasing number of constants is substantiated. Based on the results of the experiment, the principle of communicative uncertainty is derived, on the basis of which an understanding of consciousness is proposed as a continuum of subject-object dominants.
