The machine

[vlad777]

It is indisputable that consciousness and soul is something we don't understand or do not have mathematical formula for. But also, every human and maybe even some animals possesses it, and since they are basically only machines, all you have to do to create consciousness is to MAKE THE MACHINE.

And the MACHINE is a formula.

No, I had a thought that building this machine is just half the job.

You would understand it in detail but you would not know is it conscious because it is so obviousley a machine to you.

Using your knowledge you could create more than this knowledge describes because of emerging properties or synergy.

Sounds like someone either read (too much) or needs to read Godel, Esher, and Bach...?
