Thanks to Gopala Rao garu for joining this discussion. Thanks for sharing your recent post. Kindly explain to me about the use of numbers to describe quantities and its application in Physics. Do you use random numbers with unknown properties to describe physical properties that could be estimated or quantified? I thought Physicists use numerical signs or symbols that describe specific properties; the symbol 'e' may be related to energy, the symbol 'm' is related to mass, the symbol 'g' may be related to gravitational force, the symbol 'v' is related to velocity, and so on. The famous mathematical equation E = m c^ uses symbols to describe specific properties such as Energy, Mass, and the Speed of Light. Physicists have developed mathematical formulations using numerical signs and symbols that have some kind of association with a selected property. If you would like a numerical symbol or sign for a property called 'consciousness', I would like to know and understand the nature of association between the symbol or sign and its designated property.
In my view that I have shared at your blog post, I state Consciousness is the fundamental characteristic of a living thing. It has a set of defining features; 1. It is the principle by which a living thing knows the fact of its own existence; and 2. It is the principle by which a living thing knows as to where it exists and knows as to how it is existing. I would not mind if Consciousness is symbolically represented by the letter 'S' which describes Consciousness as a Spiritual function. Spiritualism could be quantified as it acts like a power or force. It is the potency of the living thing to attract energy-yielding molecules from its environment and the living thing uses this power or potency as it knows the fact of its own existence, it knows the fact of its energy dependence, and it knows the fact of the presence of energy-yielding molecules/material found in its environment. It is not about Emotions and it is not about any psychological functions. I define Consciousness as a spiritual function as it establishes a relationship between the energy-dependent living system and its energy-yielding provider. In the context of a human being, Spiritualism could be stated as the internal potency or power of the Subject called "I" who is associated with a property called 'Consciousness' to maintain its living functions and living condition called existence to support the Subject to identify itself as "I AM."
The issue of unity between Physics and Biology must be stated in clear terms. Do you intend to eliminate the problem of fundamental Dualism; the dualism that involves the distinction between the living and the non-living matter?. At a fundamental level, the biological function called 'Consciousness' demands the separation of the living thing from its environment which may include living and non-living matter. Kindly give your mathematical formulation that relates the Subject called "I" and its condition called Being or "I AM" and the Power/Energy/Force that establishes "I" as "I AM" in the physical environment where it exists.
