II. Integration ( Commensurability )
Embodiment > Homeostasis > Sensation > Integration > Behavior > Enactment
Causality: motion > organization of limbs into motion > world modeling > navigation (wayfinding) => requires memory.
Once we have memory we can have consciousness. Any creature with the hippocampal formation has the capacity for consciousness. After that it’s a matter of degree (time) and permutations (variations) and capacity of something between reaction and deliberate action.
How the body determines necessary to useful actions in pursuit of maintaining homeostasis by the accumulation of measurements using the body’s senses and perceptions into models, episodes, memories, prediction, and recall.
|Homeostasis|: Continuously Recursive Loop:
1.Homeostasis(Before) > 2.Synthesis(During) > 3.(Solution?) > 4.Enactment(After) > [ ? ]
Creating a model of the state of the body, a model of the world in relation to the body, embodiment of the body into the world model, and self reflection upon the current episode of the mind in the body, and the body in the world model, so that we may respond to conditions from immediate to future, whether reflex, response, reaction, or action in and over time.

The senses provide information to the cognitive faculties. As we climb the hierarchy of cognitive processing, the operational frequency of higher-order systems decreases relative to the input frequency from lower-order systems.

NOTE: (Story): the nervous system inherently detects patterns of tension (STATE), as well as patterns of pretension (Bias and Preference), which it will exploit. (pretension here is willingness to jump to conclusions that appear to be in the interest of the individual); here I want to generate Stable Relations for consideration…
(Story): Intero- and Exteroreceptors generate a continuous feed (report) of body conditions and environmental conditions (STATE) ((status report)). This report registers with (some neural network) which recognizes (remembers) this State Condition, and compares it to a recognized set of Potentials (Opportunities) for action. Which is then decided upon (generating another Episode). There is a prediction (future gain and cost) and a demand (order to perform some operation) which is output.
Making Stimuli Relative to The Body and Mind (Relevance):
Division of Labor: ( … ) Faculties consist of the systems that work together to detect, process, and respond to vibrational changes filtered and organized by the senses. Faculties are not isolated systems but are closely interconnected and work together to enable an organism to act effectively in its environment. The integration of these faculties allows for the seamless flow of information from sensory input to cognitive processing to behavioral output, all in the service of maintaining stable relations and homeostasis.
These faculties include Measurements, States, Values(Incentives), Records, Possibilities, and Plans: (operational framework, not biological)

3. Learning (intuition not reason) (learning before thinking)
NOTE: Brad’s want of an explanation of the sensory to motor nervous system Before we get to the cognitive nerual processing. So, What’s the difference between learning (local) and Memory (global), and whats the difference between auto-coordination and auto-coordination from memory? I mean, neurons LEARN, but that’s not the same as recalling (reconstructing).
Note: so, what is the hierarchy of memory formation?
Tell this story:
Brain(Neuro-factual): Neurons > Microcolumns > columns > regions > lobes > hemispheres
Content (experiential): Sensory > components > scene > episode > index > memory
Output (motor factual) ??? what low level > response / reflex > … > intuition >… bias … preference etc
Review (recursion):
And does this story need to be added to the beginning list of sequences?
And does that beginning list of sequences need to be told as a story so that the reader is told ‘here is what we’re going to tell you’?
4. Indexing The Episodic Memory Faculties
Objects(Perirhinal Cortex) > Scenes(Parahippocampal Cortex) > Spaces within Scenes(entorhinal cortex) > Episodes(Hippocampus) [ Uniqueness (Dentate Gyrus: Disambiguate objects, spaces, scenes to create a unique memory)]
(Introduction: Describe how the body organizes experience into sequences of episodes that serve as indexes for association to past episodes and episode features (components), so that we can predict possible future states, thus producing the experience of perception and intuition, and intuitions, that if are valuable enough either in reward or risk, may grasp our attention and emerge from this unconscious process to our conscious experience.)
- Objects (Perirhinal Cortex) : This region is involved in object recognition and plays a critical role in processing visual and auditory information related to specific objects before it reaches the hippocampus. It interfaces with object memory helps in determining the familiarity of objects and is crucial for both declarative memory and visual recognition.
- Scenes (Parahippocampal Cortex): Adjacent to the entorhinal cortex, the parahippocampal cortex deals with scene recognition and spatial context. It processes scene-related information and is involved in encoding and retrieving memories about the environment.
- Spaces in Scenes (Entorhinal Cortex): Positioned next to the perirhinal cortex, the entorhinal cortex serves as the primary interface between the hippocampus and the neocortex. It integrates information from various sensory modalities and is responsible for the preprocessing of input that feeds into the hippocampus. The entorhinal cortex also plays a key role in spatial memory and navigation, as it includes the grid cells that help with internal spatial mapping.
- Indexing Episodes (Hippocampal Regions): After processing by these cortical areas, information is funneled into the hippocampus, where it is crucial for the formation of new memories and the spatial representation of the environment. The hippocampus is involved in consolidating short-term memory to long-term memory and in spatial memory that enables navigation.
-
Disambiguation/Uniqueness (Dentate Gyrus): Within the hippocampal formation, the dentate gyrus is one of the first regions to receive inputs from the entorhinal cortex and is involved in the early stages of encoding memories. It performs pattern separation—the process of distinguishing similar inputs to create unique memories. It helps in reducing overlap in the neuronal representation of different inputs, which is essential for the accurate recall of distinct memories.
- Disambiguation/’Uniquification’ (Hilus):
- Unique Memories (Hilus): separate patterns to allow us to both use similar memories to correct and ‘fill gaps’ in our present episode of memory, so that we can still distinguish the present episode from the past episodes we’re referring to.
- Spatial Indexing
- Contextual Learning
- Associate(Cornu Ammonis): Take this sparse index and send it for AutoAssociation below with related Memories in region CA4. Embedded within the hilus of the dentate gyrus, CA4 is sometimes considered part of the dentate gyrus. It acts as a transitional zone that integrates the input from the entorhinal cortex and projects to CA3.
- Disambiguation/’Uniquification’ (Hilus):
-
Integration of Everything (Cornu Ammonis regions CA1, CA2, CA3): These are the subdivisions of the hippocampus, named after the Latin term for Ammon’s horn (a name that comes from the structure’s resemblance to a ram’s horn):
-
Integrating Into Spatial Episodes (CA1): The transfer of information from the hippocampus to the entorhinal cortex and other parts of the brain. CA1 contributes to producing spatial memory, relating places consisting of spaces, objects backgrounds, and locations and long-term memory consolidation (indexing and storing episodic memories consisting of the above). It is also heavily involved in forming the place cells that are critical for spatial navigation.
-
Integrating Social Memory (CA2): This area is smaller and less understood than CA1 and CA3 but is known to play a role in social memory and the modulation of CA1 and CA3 activities. It is somewhat resistant to damage compared to other hippocampal regions.
-
Integrating Auto-Association (CA3:): Using past Memories to ‘create cohesion through competition and filling in gaps’. This region receives inputs from the dentate gyrus and is involved in associative memory—linking together different details of an experience to form a coherent memory. CA3 has extensive recurrent connections (Recursive), allowing it to perform functions related to pattern completion (the ability to retrieve complete memories from partial cues). It’s necessary for short-term memory and spatial navigation
-
-
Output (Subiculum): This is the main output region of the hippocampus, sitting between the CA1 and the entorhinal cortex. It plays a role in Recursion – the propagation of information back to other parts of the brain and is involved in spatial navigation and reinforcement of memory. This Recursion creates the ability of our brains at every level from the pyramidal neurons of the neocortical layers to the prefrontal cortex, to identify changes, place emphasis on changes, and together to create the perception of consciousness – as a stream of memory we continuously experience just as we experience a stream of frames in a movie, or more accurately, a stream of changes between momentary images as occurs with streaming digital video.

Summary of Integration:
At the end of this sequence the body, brain, and mind have a sufficient state of the body in the world, predictions of future possibilities, to attribute value to those possibilities, producing priorities (winners), that create sufficient amplitude to obtain attention in competition with whatever other predictions currently hold our attention.
(LIMITS: I could get into the reason why we can deal with 3 (Ternary Logic), sometimes 5, but rarely more than 7 competing concepts, nor can we visualize, nor recall them. Like rating things by three five, or ten, it rarely matters, the distribution is the same)
AND;
Intuitions (Logic, un-introspectable)
Introspective Irreducibility: ( … )
|Reducibility|: Mathematically > Computationally > Linguistically > Introspectively Irreducible
The process of unconscious integration by adversarial competition for survival by tests of consistency and coherence, of sensory inputs, of past experiences, and learned knowledge to make rapid judgments or decisions. Intuition operates through automatic, subconscious processes without explicit, step-by-step logic.
Our brains evolved to detect and respond to patterns (consistencies) in sensory input (logical consistency). As we move up the cognitive hierarchy, we integrate these inputs into coherent structures (coherence) and finally, we extrapolate and explore potentialities (possibilities). This hierarchical processing ensures that our intuitive judgments are constructed from both immediate sensory data and broader contextual memories – which we call ‘understandings’.
Logical Hierarchy of Neurological Organization
The brain organizes the brain by a spectrum of increasing associations for consistency in time and across time by three categories of increasing:
- Consistency: Ensures that similar measures and patterns are reliably detected and processed.
- Coherence: Integrates different pieces of information into a unified whole, maintaining logical connections.
- Correspondence: Aligns measures with memories and future possibilities, ensuring that our cognitive projections are based on reliable information.
By understanding the hierarchy of intuitions through the lens of consistency, coherence, and correspondence, we gain a comprehensive framework for analyzing how our cognitive processes function.
Hierarchical Structure of Intuition
|Intuitions|: Subconscious > Paraconscious > Conscious
- Subconscious Intuition (Integrated): the lowest level, where the neurons, columns regions, networks, and the entire brain detects patterns, integrates sensory inputs, and maintains logical consistency. It operates without conscious awareness, filtering out the noise, preserving the consistency and coherence, and in doing so, ensuring that foundational cognitive processes are consistently reliable – where reasoning is often not. 😉
- Paraconscious Intuition (Informed): the boundary of conscious and subconscious awareness, where semi-conscious processes integrate and inform our decisions without full conscious deliberation.
- Conscious Intuition (Directed): the deliberate and directed thought processes, utilizing the integrated, coherent, and corresponded information from the lower levels to make informed judgments and decisions.
(note: brad’s story of markov chains struggling to get let out of the brain)( … )
(note: brad’s most people are operating in a paraconscious state, and not fully conscious most of the time.)( … )
The Hierarchy of Subconscious Intuitions
The hierarchy of subconscious intuitions consists of pre-conscious intuition, which is the logical consistency at low level of groups of neurons (same measures), and medium level we call coherence (between separate measures) in networks of neurons and at the high level which we call possibilities in the unification of those networks with memories.
We can introspect upon the latter – possibilities, and sometimes into coherence, but almost never at the lowest level, because it’s done by neurons say in the hierarchy of the visual cortex.
With that information, we can understand that at the end of the cognitive road (or really, it’s beginning) we we always start with some logic of consistency. In other words, in the end we are all bound by intuition, meaning our neurological ability to test for consistency, (coherence), and probability(possibility).
|Subconscious Intuitions|: Perceptual Intuition > Associative Intuition > Projective Intuition.
And therefore the hierarchy of intuitions consist of:
- Subconscious (integrated)
- Perceptual Intuition: consistency between similar measures
- Associative Intuition: consistency between dissimilar measures
- Projective Intuition: consistency between measures and memories.
- Paraconscious (informed)
- Conscious (directed)
Summary
Turtles All the Way Down: The phrase “turtles all the way down” succinctly captures the concept of infinite regress, where each element depends on a prior one. Applied to intuition, this metaphor underscores the foundational role of consistency, coherence, and correspondence throughout all cognitive processes. Each level of intuition, from subconscious to conscious, is grounded in these principles, much like each turtle in the metaphor supports the one above it. This highlights the idea that our cognitive framework, at every level, is fundamentally structured by these enduring principles, ensuring a reliable and interconnected system of understanding and decision-making.
AND;
The Subconscious (The Society of Mind)
How The Brain Scales From Subconscious Intuition to the Subconscious Mind by integrating the integrating the various intuitions.
|Subconscious Process|: Continuous Recursion of: Sensation > Consistency > Coherence(world model) > Episode Formation > Auto-Associations(Correspondence) > Predictions > Competition > Conflict > Bias > Preference > Resolution of conflicts > Decidability > Decision > Action.
After Intuition, The Next Level of Generalization: “What do we do with all of this?”
So, continuing the story of competition for consistency, coherence, correspondence between neural networks, resulting in auto associations and then predictions of future states of the mind, body, and body in relation to the world, and events that may occur in the world, we can speak of the subconscious as the next level of generalization as we clime the neurological hierarchy of complexity toward consciousness.
Function of the Subconscious: “Is Any of This, or Could Any of This be Important?”
The subconscious serves as a continuous recursive stream of predictions in the search for something worthy of seizing attention given the current state of attention.
Neural networks don’t know anything per say, other than that they’ve identified consistency and coherence amidst the complexity of stimulations and associations. So they learn by successfully ‘being heard’, by peers at some level of the hierarchy, where being heard consists of coherence with other networks of increasing scale, in time. So again, by survival from competition for cooperation in time.
The story I want to get to is that the subconscious produces a continuously recursive stream of predictions (imaginings) that vary from the concrete and definitive, to a field of undecidable consistently updating, often conflicting, possibilities of utility and disutilities, risk and reward that if urgent and clear can either escalate to an immediate response, and if not, only be resolved by conscious recursive associations – if at all.
If it cannot be resolved without more information which generally requires more time. At the extreme, it results in the state of depression for example, because of the subconscious struggle by the whole brain to find some way out of the circumstances, and reaching the point of exhaustion. This is the brain’s way of telling you to end what you’re doing, and instead, focus on obtaining new information and opportunities.
This process produces a “Society of Mind” consisting of a self organizing and self reinforcing cooperative and competitive economy of neural networks with a multitude of subnetworks(‘actors’), that by cooperation generates enough productivity (stimulation) to gain our attention via the thalamus (director).
And the fact that human society operates by the same method shouldn’t be surprising to us – at all. 😉

-
- Affective faculties(Internal Contextual Valuation): The ability to experience and regulate emotions, which are responses to sensory and perceptual experiences – and always and everywhere reflect changes in state of the body’s “homeostatic capital“: resources past present and future.
All emotions are responses to change in state of the body’s stock of assets (capital). As such, since the body’s goal is present and future homeostasis using memory as risk and opportunity.
Emotions serve evaluative and motivational signals that guide behavior and facilitate the maintenance of stable relations inside the body and in the body’s relation to the outside world that are necessary for the preservation of homeostasis in time and over time.- Emotion: The ability to experience and express subjective feelings and physiological responses to stimuli necessary to regulate the body and mind to perform behavior to preserve and expand capital that are in turn necessary to preserve homeostasis.
-
We are aware that this bit of science is somewhat depressing or frustrating to those whose embrace of emotion is the guide around which they live their lives. That said, there is always a difference between the parsimony of the scientific causes, and the richness of the subjective experiences. And humility in understanding of that relationship.
