Proof sequence 1 for superimmortality
More actions
An adequate and useful definition of "proof" for the science of superimmortality will be a complex combination and sequence of experimental evidence and other evidence combined with rational arguments that is coherent with science as a whole.
Imagine flowcharting of these supporting evidences, rational arguments and experiments with diverging supporting evidence, experiments, and rational arguments.
Proof sequence 3 for superimmortality This is a proof sequence that a cidentireplica will produce the same ixperiencitness as its original is, has, or will, produce. Argument that there is no need to prove that a cidentireplica such thing as ixperiencitness
Proof sequence 1 for superimmortality
This is a proof sequence that a cidentireplica will produce the same behaviorpath as its original is, has, or will, produce.
Identical structure and functioning produce identical behavior
different experiments
analogy to TV, computer (the brain is a physical system as is the TV) (to expect the brain to be a none physical system needs proof) popular bias is for the brain to be supernatural with souls etc. so there can be life after death.
These experiments are complex but not impossible to create and study
Analogy to TV, computer, production and repeated production of objects, events, processes, etc., and experiments
Falsifiability for each case of the proposition versus Falsifiability for the proposition as a whole, the propositions can be 1. all cases are x, 2. almost all cases are x, 3. most cases are x, 4. some cases are x, 5. a few cases are x, 6. no cases are x.
Proof sequence 2 for superimmortality
This is a proof sequence is to show that a cidentireplica will produce the same awarepath as its original is, has, or will, produce.
Identical structure and functioning produce identical consciousness
different experiments repeating the experiments over and over with different question
Analogy to TV, computer, production, and experiments
Close enough approximate structure and functioning produce identical behavior
different experiments
Analogy to TV, computer, production, and experiments
Close enough approximate structure and functioning produce identical consciousness
different experiments

Reductio ad absurdum arguments for superimmortality
When the consciousness produced is different from the behavior produced by the body, the awareness of this difference can cause an avalanche of differing diverging consciousnesses
You need the ixperiencitness concept to distinguish between identical consciousnesses Superimmortality does not need the ixperiencitness concept If you are consciousness then
Structure and functioning of a body is understandable Structure and functioning of the body can be mapped to behavior and to consciousness Because they can be mapped the consciousness produced can be predicted from the structure and functioning of the body
You are the consciousness produced by the body and not the body itself arguments Examples when you are dead your body still exists but there is no "you" also in certain comas, sleep, and with the use of anesthesias and certain drugs You are the consciousness not the body you are the functioning of a material body By changing the structure and functioning of that body you can produce any possible memory, self identity, personality trait, ability, skill, looks,
The same behavior will be produced with any sequence of previous sequence of consciousnesses produced
Simplicity versus complexity argument:The prediction that identical structure and functioning produces identical consciousness is simpler than having the prediction that identical structure and functioning of matter can produce different consciousness
Technologically useful versus technologically useless theory
Predictable versus unpredictable argument
Natural versus supernatural argument
The diversity argument where at any point in your life free will we process the information that we receive and make a decision on this information but with exactly the same conditions we will make the same choice. Very small changes in input or structure can make very large out put changes in behavior and consciousness.
Ability to predict the outcome of experiments Ability to replicate the outcome of experiments Ability to replicate behaviors and thus consciousnesses by way of manipulating the structure and functioning of the bodies Ability to predict behaviors and thus consciousnesses produced by a body based on the structure and functioning of matter of the body Ability to map behaviors and thus consciousnesses produced by a body to the structure and functioning of matter of the body
Ship of Theseus (human body) experiments
The matter that is changed and how fast. there must be a point in speed of replacement or amount of matter where the there is the change in self
Problems with continuity and continuousness of the body
They think that there is something different in the cidentireplica than just a different body. TV analogy for the TV versus the shows that is being produced
