Chapter 291 Corresponding Vacancies
To put it simply, it would be better to describe it in an analogical way, "eating".
If we expand the explanation, any outward behavior of "looking for food" or "looking for companions" can be traced back to this situation.
However, this is not "yes".
It is not "same".
Yao Yan's memory of the viewpoint of this theory is not very deep.
There is no definite evidence that can clearly show that the effect is the effect and the cause is the cause.
After all, in the history of biological evolution, there is also a very common spiral.
Let's use rumors as a proportion.
After a rumor is generated, it will breed another rumor.
And for the previous rumor, this second rumor has become evidence of the first rumor and helped it stabilize.
People may prefer to use the word "inertia" to describe this spiral structure of spirals that influence each other.
In this hypothesis, this "combination" at the genetic level, or the function of "predation" and "absorbing external substances", is the origin of everything.
Starting from here, start to describe the "cognitive" structure.
In this hypothesis, the "cognitive" structure is "pairing".
No, to be more precise, it is to "plan" an outline, and then follow this outline to find "corresponding" things.
It is not a correspondence in essence, but a structural correspondence.
For example, there is a pit on the ground. In order to fill the pit, you have to find various things to put in it.
However, the problem is that to fill the pit, you don't have to find soil to fill it.
In other words, as long as it can fill the pit and meets the condition of "filling the pit", you can pour it in.
Whether it is sand, stone, stone, metal, leaves, or wood.
This may sound "incredible", right?
Shouldn't base pairing be fixed?
Isn't it determined that which group matches which group?
——Who determined it?
Again, don't simply integrate an internal structure composed of countless small structures with complex joints and conflicts into a whole.
This is like "combined force".
An object on the earth eventually falls downward, which is consistent with the direction of gravity, so is it only affected by gravity?
Another example is humans. When a person is hungry, he wants to eat.
What will a person eat and what will he not eat?
Chicken, mutton, beef, and pork are all meat, and they can all be eaten as long as they can fill the stomach.
But what about human flesh?
Was the judgment that "human flesh cannot be eaten" a later "correction" or was it based on the action of "eating" and excluded human flesh from the diet from the beginning?
Why was human flesh excluded from the diet?
Because it is meat? Or because it is human flesh?
Was it the label of "meat" that was rejected, or the label of "human" that was rejected?
In the conception of this cognitive structure, human "consciousness" and human cognition are also a "filler".
If the original driving force of this structure is regarded as the "origin", then human cognition is a construct produced to fill the "corresponding void".
This cognitive construct is people's self-consciousness in the general sense.
Based on the hypothesis of the principle of the generation of this cognitive structure, the meaning of cognition itself is "existence for the sake of existence".
So, what does this thing that exists for the sake of existence exist for?
The former is a description of the structural function, while the latter is the self's assumption of the meaning of its existence.
However, if we really feel that this is the end, then everything will be much simpler.
However, the problem is that
this void itself will continue to produce "voids".
What is the raw material of this thing that is filled in because of "correspondence" and "vacancy"?
Does the vacancy disappear because it is filled?
No, this preset "full" is also a void.
Vacancy does not correspond to "full".
Or it can be said that this "void" is closer to the concept of "need".
I need "need".
Not easy to understand?
Let's put it this way, "filling" something is not the "correspondence" it needs.
Rather, "filling something in" is what it needs.
It is for "filling", not "full".
When eating, most people will have the idea of "I want to be full", but this primitive function itself does not have this underlying logic.
It is primitive, basic, and simple.
Its purpose is to "eat".
Endless and boundless.
Do you think it is counter-intuitive?
If there is no boundary, why don’t I feel it?
Gravity is also infinite, but why doesn’t the world squeeze together?
This counterexample is not quite appropriate and is not a good example.
Unfortunately, Yao Yan does not have enough expression ability to find a sufficiently accurate example.
“Correspondence” and “gap” are a kind of primitive driving force brought by the original structure, forming various gaps and various “black holes”.
However, these “gaps” continue to stack up as the driving force of the next level, forming new corresponding gaps.
In this process, the “self” of the first level is involved.
That is, the “consciousness” generated in the first gap.
However, the problem is that "consciousness" itself has "cognitive ability".
However, it is not single in itself. As a suture of many "vacancies", a bunch of materials that are pulled into this first layer of vacancies as fillers, these things themselves also have original driving force.
The "vacancy" cannot be filled.
However, what is filled into the first layer of vacancies has a limited composition, and it will find "correspondences" one by one.
This does not mean that they have found things that can fill their "correspondence", but that as a "integration", they have a vague outline.
They have a general image, their "needs" and their corresponding range have become "smaller".
Becoming "concrete".
There is a "referenceable object".
Yao Yan was more accustomed to calling this stage the "mirror" stage.
Although it is still quite blurry, the "outline has shrunk".
But, in fact, has the “profile” really shrunk?
No, according to this theory, this is just the first level of "consciousness" anchoring a "new correspondence" based on "everything it can recognize".
New vacancies are created.
New holes are created.
Then, the second level of "consciousness" arises.
By analogy, layer after layer of holes, layer after layer of corresponding holes, allow people to gradually have a clear enough cognitive relationship.
To use an example, the initial vacancy could be likened to a black hole "I need to fill it with something," but because there are simply not enough specific criteria, a galaxy is filled in.
As for the galaxy itself, as something filled in, it is affected.
However, unlike the initial driving force, this vacancy became "stabilized" due to the "balance" of gravity.
It's just that this "stability" is also a vague and uncertain standard, and it does not achieve "balance" in many details.
Therefore, it establishes the corresponding relationship between itself and the vacancy as a "balanced" standard.
According to this standard, let your own vacancy draw various star clusters over to achieve a "balance".
And this balance creates a new "vacancy".
One by one, "vacancies" and vague "balances" without clear standards are gradually advancing and progressing, forming various "detailed" needs.
Perhaps it should be the other way around, with the initial driving force being planets and then expanding to black holes.
But no matter from big to small, or from small to big, "onion" may be a more vivid example.
Human consciousness is not a complete thing, but is made up of layers of things that are constantly involved.
The lowest level, the most core thing, is the vague "correspondence" generated by the original driving force without specific standards.
And in this process of continuous clarity of "consciousness", it is a process of constantly attaching things from the outside world or "oneself" to it.
One of the stages is generally called -
"Sexualized order."
