How do I see your detailed article on the subject of digitization of consciousness and emotions? I too have been entertaining similar ideas for a long time. Here is a recent post of mine on the subject as one of my series entitled Musings of a Weird Scientist.
" One of the stumbling blocks in unifying Physical Evolution with Biological Evolution is the fact that central to Biological Evolution is the Evolution of Emotions and Intelligent Behavior. Central to Emotions and Intelligent Behavior is Consciousness. Central to Consciousness is Awareness. Awareness is of three kinds. Self Awareness, Mutual Awareness amongst Species and Environmental Awareness as far down the scale as microorganisms, living cells and its constituents including DNA and RNA molecules.
Quantification and the application of Mathematics are at the root of all explanations in Physics. Biological phenomena are also becoming amenable to quantification but not at the level of Emotions and Intelligent Behavior.
With these thoughts in mind, I venture to suggest that the Unification of Physics and Biology requires that Emotion and Intelligent Behavior are also understood as quantifiable phenomena in digital terms and Physics itself needs to be revised in tune with the ideas of Von Neumann and Stephen Wolfram in his provocative book A NEW KIND OF SCIENCE
