Hey /Sci/, layperson here with a casual interest in science and mathematics.


I recently came across this paper that presents a case for higher dimensional structures in the human brain.

What conclusions can we draw from this?

If I assert, for example, that this seems to imply that this lays the groundwork for defining human consciousness as a mathematical dimension, is this a leap too far?

What else might this imply? What hypotheses can we formulate from this paper?

Any help decoding this paper into layspeak would be much appreciated.

You're asking the wrong place.
We're all concerned solely with triple parentheses and large foreheads here.

The paper is crap?
Why?

No, that's retarded. The brain is a normal physical object. Brainlets keep trying to attribute magical properties to it because they're overrating the literal reality of their own subjective sense of "experience" / "consciousness" and concluding there must be something there that goes beyond normal cause and effect physics. The non-brainlet explanation is that the brain can make you believe whatever it needs to make you believe, and just because it makes you believe you're in the presence of some pure / immediate "qualia" doesn't mean it's really doing anything beyond the part where it feeds you a belief.

If it's mathematically definable then it doesn't 'go beyond cause and effect physics,' does it?

This is my brainlet reckoning of things but I believe multi-dimensionality is not as profound as sci-fi would have you believe. It simply means there are other independent axes beyond xyz that a phenomenon evolves according to. For instance, you could have a balloon floating in a closed room with temperature control, and measure how it how it behaves in xyz as you slide along the temperature axis/dimension. It doesn't mean temperature is a place you could physically visit like in Rick and Morty, just an extra independent variable to monitor.
There are probably proper scientists who could correct me on any mistakes I made here.

You are correct. Reality/matter is simply what the process before us agreed upon, and consciousness is always built atop that.
