The generation of consciousness poses a complex scientific challenge. Neuroscience and biological sciences have extensively studied this phenomenon, yielding numerous theories and hypotheses. However, to date, no reliable evidence has emerged to exclude any hypothesis conclusively, nor has any theory garnered unanimous agreement. This study aims to offer novel insights for further in-depth study on consciousness.
A new theoretical hypothesis was proposed based on reviews and comments from predictive processing theory, information theory, thermodynamics, and neuroscience.
This study argues that, first, it is necessary to clarify that the core implication of the concept of consciousness is first-person perception. Accordingly, the study of consciousness is based on this premise. Second, on this basis, the antagonistic hypothesis of consciousness generation was proposed. This hypothesis holds that consciousness arises from the antagonism of mature individual experiences that cannot be seamlessly integrated with the function of addressing and navigating these conflicts.
The antagonism hypothesis is a new concept regarding the generation of consciousness that deserves further study.
意识的产生构成了一项复杂的科学挑战。神经科学和生物科学已对这一现象进行了广泛研究,产生了众多理论和假设。然而,迄今为止,尚未出现确凿证据来最终排除任何假设,也没有任何理论获得一致认同。本研究旨在为意识的进一步深入研究提供新见解。
基于对预测处理理论、信息理论、热力学和神经科学的综述与评论,提出了一种新的理论假设。
本研究认为,首先,有必要明确意识概念的核心内涵是第一人称感知。因此,意识研究基于这一前提。其次,在此基础上,提出了意识产生的拮抗假设。该假设认为,意识源于成熟个体经历的拮抗,这些经历无法与处理和应对这些冲突的功能无缝整合。
拮抗假设是关于意识产生的一个新概念,值得进一步研究。
