B-Man Stra/Tac Model of the Mind. Defining Consciousness

The B-Man Stra/Tac model is new and comprehensive and intended to replace previous theories of consciousness and the mind. David Chalmers’ idea of the Hard Problem of Consciousness can be considered on two levels, the functional level, why are we conscious, why do we have conscious experiences ? And the technological level, how does consciousness work; what exactly is conscious matter ? This theory resolves the first part, including the philosophical zombie question, as it shows why feeling is an inherent part of consciousness, and the tremendous advantage that a feeling organism possesses, summarised in the word “omnilyo”. While not directly addressing the technological aspects, the theory does define requirements and constraints on the workings of conscious matter, which, while clearly beyond current scientific capabilities, does signpost the invention of artificial consciousness, which, needless to say, would be mankind’s greatest discovery.
