 P. Neurosatire and NeuroAbsurdia-Consciousness Constructs, Kenneth Van Gross, MD <vangrossmd@aol.com> (Fusion Clinical Multimedia, Inc.) Human existence in the last ten years has featured absurd events. Perhaps that is why this decade will be known as the millennial double zero period as it included such a variety of bizarre happenings that only insanity was safe. T e neurologist in charge of understanding the brain in this epoch must conjure up the appropriate evidence and expla- nation for this brainless if not mindless period. In so doing, Neurosatire and NeuroAbsurdia were hatched under the direction of Van Gross, MD. Sometimes understood as post-rationalism, absurd thought can also be linked to the psychotic. In that psychosis is of interest to neurologists as an entity making believe it is part of neurology. it would seem appropriate to welcome post-rationalism, psychosis and the absurd under the neurological roof, while in the spirit of neurology, determine some kind of “brain circuitry” to explain all of this. As noted above, that heretofore unidentifi ed region (sub-cortical and/or cortical) doesn’t technically exist. Many also insist T e Aughts” bypassed true existence in that those years were so bereft of meaning and purpose whether recovering from impeachment madness, examining loose chads to decide presidential elections, murder- ing innocents to access celestial virgins, going on weather crusades, being a birther, talking nonsense at Townhall Meetings on healthcare, or quasi-justifying an earthquake as religious retribution. People suff ered great trauma from late 2000 to late 2010 but under the banner of absurdity, many believe there should be some mitigation of same nightmare since we’re all out of our minds anyway. Many are now screaming We ought to have done this that or the other thing in ‘T e Aughts’.“ Others simply whisper that we are collectively aughtistic or oughtistic, if not ADD cases. Either way, as neurologists have posited, “there’s brain circuitry involved”. T is project features selected writ- ings by the king of the world (as far as he knows or someone like Burger King) Van Gross, MD, that point to why this neurological lunatic needs to be lined up against the wall and shot. In summary, NeuroAbsurdia and Neurosatire refl ect a Consciousness built around existential humor which is so absent in the fervor surrounding a so called scientifi c defi nition of Consciousness. Psychosis and Dreaming easily explain why “normal consciousness” is only a construct just as Sleep and Wakefulness are arbitrarily assigned values rather than biologically worthy of ranking. Indeed all such implications about consciousness undermine any rational understanding of the self-refl ection entity as we cannot prove that there is no consciousness while we are psychotic or dreaming or in other altered states. Off ering a value to any human endeavor, state, level of consciousness or insight is also ridiculous thus justifying the use of the absurd and the satirical to depict same meaninglessness.


 P. What is what in mind to mind the mind?, Anders Wallenbeck <anders.wallenbeck@telia.com> T e thesis, that neurons apply signals, has failed to give us scientifi c understanding as duality emerges. T e antith- esis, that signals apply the neurons, avoids duality. It is thinkable that the signal patterns and its routes on the neural web may be each others counterparts. T is implies an extended meaning of signal, to be an entity per se, that navi- gates by them self through the junctions by its pattern on web roads. If so, the subject within the brain system is the signals. T ereby, the signal-route is the functionality that instantiate and activates associative signals. Consequently the physical entity of the emergence of the mind is autonomously acting electrochemical signals operating within the conscious “window” that’s creating the “I”. “Tunneling” signals enables global access and memory functionality doesn’t need information to be stored as pattern into a physical substrate. Accordingly memory access time is zero. Memorizing or learning is a process where signals interact to build associative links that aggregate diff erent parts of information into entireties. T is admits such a system simultaneously being aware of the entirety and its parts and recognition is achieved without discrimination. Self-navigation signals allows explicit description of the closed loops that appear when neurons are considered to navigate the signals. Self-navigating signals broaden the general description of neural signal systems by including autonomous infor- mation as autonomous electrochemical and biochemical signals. If this description is true; it is understandable how an organism is enabled to controls itself and how the brain controls and organizes itself. T e option exists that e.g. a thought is achieved by signals being the actors rather than neurons. If this is true, nature has adopted simplicity as the principle hiding beyond the complex structures of the neural web as the simplicity within a huge city is beyond the complexity of its structures.


 P. Kantian Free Harmony as a Nondual State Extensible through Creative Expression of the Aesthetic Idea, Tonietta A. Walters <tonie@theartsoffi ce.net> (TAO-NoumenArts Research) In Kantian Aesthetics, the concepts of ‘Free Harmony’ of the faculties of imagination and understanding and the


concept-less ‘Aesthetic Idea’ are intensely deliberated points of contention. I propose that this can be resolved if Free Harmony is re-interpreted as a Nondual state.
