First experiment
More actions
The First experiment is a reminder of the scientific concept that the results of any experiment will be the same if all of the important conditions are the same. If the results are not the same then some important controlling factor or factors were left out, or included when they should not have been. This is the basis of science, technology, manufacturing, etc., and it should apply to the production of consciousness and ixperiencitness by the functioning of matter as well. A person is the first experiment toward seeing what a certain structure and functioning of matter will produce in terms of consciousness and ixperiencitness. This is because this particular structure and functioning of matter may not have ever existed before. If it has we do not know about it.
