for - paper - title - Memory, Sleep, Dreams, and Consciousness: A Perspective Based on the Memory Theory of Consciousness - author - Andrew E. Budson, Ken A Paller - adjacency - memories - sleep - dreams - Memory Theory of Consciousness - MToC
summary - The authors present a theory of dreaming and sleep that I resonate with, that sleep is a time in which the brain performs unconscious processing of memories, consolidating them by taking advantage of consciousnesss down time to perform massive parallel processing to connect memories together. - dreams are seen as a small conscious byproduct of the massive parallel processing task, and their meaning may have value depending on how we interpret them.

unpack this memory-consciousness connection
for - adjacency - memory - consciousness -unpacking - memory - consciousness connection - The principal postulate of the MToC is that consciousness is a function of the explicit memory system. - The explicit memory system is not only required for explicit memory - it is also required for our ability to - consciously perceive the world around us, - understand what is happening, and - make conscious decisions that lead to actions. - Thanks to the explicit memory system, - sensory impressions can reach consciousness, and - we can think about what is happening in the world. - In the process of consciously perceiving the world, we rely on - working memory to - maintain and - manipulate the information, on - semantic memory to make sense of it, and on - episodic memory - to relate the current situation - to prior episodes and - to understand the current context.

From a memory perspective, sleep can be understood as critically important for normal memory function, given the lasting ramifications of consolidation.
for - key insight - paraphrase - adjacency - memory consolidation - sleep - massive unconscious parallel processing - From a memory perspective, - sleep can be understood as critically important for normal memory function, - given the lasting ramifications of consolidation. - Consolidation is the establishment of new connections - anchoring recent memories within relevant knowledge networks - While consolidation happens, some conscious experience (the dream) may be synthesized as the memory processing unfolds - Dreams reflect a storyline generated to make sense of a subset of activated memory fragments. - Consolidation that wires new connections happens across the entire cerebral context, without the constraints that come with conscious experience. - Unconscious processing during sleep takes advantage of massive parallel processing to connect all these thoughts together. - Dreams reflect a small portion of overnight memory consolidation work.
-
a reasonable speculation (expanded upon further below) is that memory reactivation during sleep is generally unconscious.
for - adjacency - claim - sleep - memory reactivation is - unconscious
-
dream contents include some memory fragments that are reactivated in the service of consolidation, but additionally, a narrative structure is produced to provide a storyline for the experience.
for - adjacency - memory consolidation - storyline - dreams
-
we consider dreaming as a by-product of sleep-based consolidation
for - research claim - dreaming - byproduct of sleep-based memory consolidation - adjacency - dreaming - sleep-based consolidation
-
A central aspect of our position is that sleep-based consolidation occurs unconsciously and in parallel across many cortical regions simultaneously.

This suggests a new term: - new definition - intentional whole system environmental steering - when environmental steering is intentional done at the highest level for the wellbeing of every level - The author uses the example of hunger as being a high level experience driven by lower level needs - This could qualify as an intentional whole system environmental steering so the term doesn't distinguishing enlightenment drive as anything special.

for - adjacency - perspectival knowing - rendering - learned in child development - language usage - This is an interesting use of the word "render" to demonstrate how even shared human experiences are still uniquely seen from different perspectives - We impute objective reality, for instance of the cup, even though we are each uniquely rendering it in different ways - It is a direct result of our child development in which we learned how to employ words to label such social contexts - We establish rules for word usage at an early age, but we forget the original conditions which gave rise to them - When we remind ourselves of the original motivation, it is a bit of a shock to the system how strange this reality is

for - adjacency - constructed reality - umwelt - species perspectival knowing - misunderstanding - sensory signals - map and territory - Donald Hoffman - We have to be careful how we interpret his claim here, as it is often easily misunderstood. - He means that evolution itself, reality itself has constructed this unique set of sense organs, that creates a unique human umwelt in which - the sensory signals give us a very specific map of reality, NOT reality itself - In this way, our sensory signals construct a very unique map of reality, which is different from the way all other species construct their maps

what's interesting about this now is if I think I'm just this little body and I'm nothing but this body and and my conscious experiences are nothing but what my brain does. So, so that's my theory and that's that's all I am. I don't feel very big. I don't feel very important. Um, and so I'm going to probably need to do something to make myself feel a little bit better and I'm going to need to compete with you.
for - example - poverty mentality - adjacency - poverty mentality - ego reification - othering - competition - If I believe my own spacetime story that - I am this body - thoughts are simply epiphenomena of the brain - then I don't feel very empowered or spacious - instead, I feel small and insignificant - and it motivates me to compete with others to make myself feel better - In this way, my own poverty mentality, based on the wrong-headed belief that I am the map (not the territory) - leads to identity and ego reification and othering

Experience takes the lead but it is anexperience widened by speech. One can thereby identify a basic tension within thephenomenological treatment of language: on the one hand, phenomenology subordinates speechto experience; on the other, phenomenology identifies the reciprocity of speech and experience.Heidegger’s signature if enigmatic formula, “Language is the house of being,” expresses just thisreciprocity (Heidegger 1998a, 39

new trailmark - summary to review - the word "review" may be a better trailmark word than "summary" - At this point, I will replace "summary" with "review" in the case of book or article reviews
review - Lisa's book is an insightful convergence of an important but ignored subject, the experiential intersection between language and consciousness. - Her understanding that language plays an important role in constructing our reality leads to a bold and novel proposal, especially salient at this time of global poly-meta-perma-meaning crisis. - She proposes that we individually and collectively experiment and explore creating new words and language structures that transcend the limitations of our existing language - If patterns of language usage traps us in outdated conceptual paradigms, then breaking out of these may be challenging, if not impossible, without the creation of new linguistic and language structures. - From a Stop Reset Go and Deep Humanity perpsective, Lisa's proposal for practical experimentation with constructing new languages to unleash new forms of expression is very aligned to Deep Humanity BEing journeys - As I read and annotate Lisa's book, any potential linguistic and language BEing journeys that her words inspired will be recorded for posterity
Addendum - note from journal - 2025, May 8 - reflections on Lisa's book - asynchronous communication is only one half of indyweb - the other half is asynchronous REFLECTION AND SYNTHESIS - Effective timebinding requires both - Annotation captures interpersonal shared ideas - journalling captures ours own unique synthesis only emerges from asynchronous reflections of our existent associative network of ideas and the newly ingested interpersonal ones - Annotations capture the novel and newly inputted interpersonal ones - but annotation currently only applies to hypothesis - it needs to expand to realtime meetings such as zoom calls, emails, socials media comments and socials media chats in order to be complete - Until now, there has not been a medium with sufficient set of affordances to unleash the affordances potential in language itself - While digital media has existed and rapidly developed for the past 5 decades, - employing and leveraging it to unleash the full potential of language itself has not ever been conceived of until the concept of Indyweb arrived - Indeed, we could make the claim that the indyweb is a foundational human technology on the same order as language itself because it completes language, revealing its empty ( shunyata) quality, thereby - uniting it with the universe itself - From the unlimited potential of the tacit, - the limited forms of words emerge, both are 2 sides off the same nondual coin - and unleashing the full , unrealized potential of language - It is the provenance aspect of the indyweb that provides an automatic trail of all our learning journey, making both the - individual and - intertwingled collective evolution of ideas available as records for. timebinding posterity

China, however, can be expected to return fire. Already it has halted imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the US for 40 days – a move attributed to trade tensions. This may seem like good news for emissions reduction. However, China, like all other nations, needs energy. With less gas from the US, it may resort to burning more coal – which generates more CO₂ when burnt than gas.

The COVID experience provides a cautionary tale. The unstable economic outlook and higher interest rates meant banks were more cautious about financing some renewable energy projects. And according to the International Energy Agency, small to medium-sized businesses became more reluctant to invest in renewable energy applications such as heat pumps and solar panels.

nations focus on making goods where they have a competitive advantage – in other words, where they can manufacture the item more cheaply than other nations can. That includes making them using less energy, or creating fewer carbon emissions. If the US insists on manufacturing everything it needs domestically, we can expect many of those goods to be more emissions-intensive than if they were imported.

In the short-term, any decline is likely to have a positive impact on emissions reduction. We saw this effect during the COVID-19 pandemic, when global production and trade fell.

City building, according to a sacred civics, is transformational work, as it recognizes the persistent paradigms of colonialism5 and imperialism
for - adjacency - cities - imperialism - colonialism - inequality - perpetuation
adjacency - between - cities - imperialism - colonialism - inequality - perpetuation - adjacency relationship - Large cities have structural inequality baked into them through centuries of legacy practices. - The urban spatial planning of cities are centuries-old patterns that perpetuate intergenerationally - In broad strokes, the centuries of exploitation, extractivism and colonial genocide of the global north upon the global south created the great structural wealth of cities in the global north, and the great structural poverty of cities of the global south - As colonialism receded and global south countries attained autonomy, they were left with deep scars of inequality, exasperated by the IMF and the World Bank, keeping them trapped in cycles of debt - Global north cities also suffered a local north / local south phenomena as well as global industrial capitalism made inequality democratic around the globe - Due to the effect of integenerational wealth and intergenerational poverty inheritance, it is exceedingly difficult to make structural changes in the current political-social-economic system.
