| Key findings | The paper reviews and compares two mathematical formulations of consciousness: Yinsheng's (2008) discrete approach to general consciousness and Bhushan's (2018) quantum mechanical approach to information consciousness, and discusses their implications together with the Orch-OR theory of Hameroff and Penrose (2013). |
Abstract
In this paper we shall review the approaches to mathematically formulate cognitive thought processes or consciousness made by Yinsheng(2008) and Bhushan(2018). In the first section of this paper, we will provide a brief insight on both the discrete approach to general consciousness made by Yinsheng and the quantum mechanical approach towards information consciousness made by Bhushan. In the following section, we will thoroughly discuss the implication of the above theories as well as some other theories like Orch-OR theory of consciousness by Hameroff and Penrose(2013).
