What is the structure of one's consciousness?

[charlie]

I’m beginning to think you can model consciousness as some curved manifold. It’s smooth and finite and seems to have a sort of “velocity”… can probably be effected by gravity too

 

[charlie]

maybe the soul/being as the manifold and the consciousness as the vector field. At the very least, the existence of pre-cognition (as a sort of singularity or “wormhole maybe?”) evidences the curvature.

Or, you could try to model the senses as a tensor… these kind of “aiming” instruments of the conscious,,, that could even begin to have an effect on someone else’s “manifold” (feeling their eyes on you)

…watching the Age of Adaline right now, the astronomer guy was saying how frustrating it is that the better our instruments get, the more we know about the past, but not about the future.
(Since the light that reaches Earth, or some instruments takes time to travel from far away and so on and so forth)

With this in mind, this may prove that light cannot be used to further the study of physics where it needs to go. Even though we can study (I guess idek who’s doing it) the entanglement of, perhaps, two beams, due to the complementarity, we cannot truly understand our effect on that which is observed.

It would follow that we’d have to rely on our own consciousness and observation to begin to study the future. The mind: that instrument which is most broad, and for which, perhaps, there is a limit of complementarity as that which you are observing becomes the instrument.

Further, if the conscious is capable of observing itself, there must be some “structure”, either extrinsically or intrinsically, which allows it to observe itself, like a mirror.

Question: Which instruments can observe themselves?

Is there an instrument that can weigh itself?
