The potential consciousness of a grid of gates
20:42 - 28:29 (07:46)
In this transcript, the conversation explores the idea of whether a regular grid of exclusive or gates could be more conscious than a person or animal, despite being uniform and implementing only an error-correcting code. The method of abstracting a system, such as a brain or microchip, as a collection of components that are connected by a pattern of connections is discussed.

The Conscious Grid Theory suggests that a regular grid of exclusive or gates could hold more consciousness than a person or animal, even if it were as uniform as a blank wall.

Summary
The Conscious Grid Theory suggests that a regular grid of exclusive or gates could hold more consciousness than a person or animal, even if it were as uniform as a blank wall. The theory is being tested on cases where the answer is already known to further understand it.
