Mind Field

"Of course there are results. Please take a look at this theory first." Yi Kai said, and with a few swipes on his Personal Terminal, he packaged a file called 'Interim Report on the Research Project of Mind Imprint Technology' and sent it to everyone in the Conference Room.

Without saying much, everyone opened the file and began browsing it quickly.

Time flowed slowly, and only after everyone had taken their eyes off their Personal Terminal did Yi Kai speak.

"I'm sure you've all read the report. The 'Mind Imprint' project, to put it simply, studies all aspects of the brain in order to find a way to add a foreign and deeply rooted thought to the brain."

Yi Kai said eloquently, "Therefore, we must first figure out the difference between humans and animals, or rather, the essential difference between the brains of Sentient Life and non- Sentient Life. In other words, we must understand what kind of 'field' that ambiguous 'thought' relies on for its existence."

Before we get to that, we need to talk about genes and evolution.

You've all heard the saying that the fundamental difference between humans and animals is that humans use tools, while animals don't. Of course, this is a very one-sided statement.

To be precise, animal activity is driven by instinct and guided by information, driven by nature. I call this Gene Instinct. Through bidirectional communication between unknowing biological macromolecules, it evolves from gradual change to mutation, unknowingly creating itself and thus evolving; this evolution can only be manifested in its offspring.

"Humans, or Sentient Life, are different. Humans evolve through self-aware creation and the creation of objects. Humans can evolve at any time through self-aware creation, unlike animals which can only evolve by unknowingly and slowly changing their genes over a long period of time."

At this moment, Yu Nanfeng interjected, "Hmm, but what does this have to do with the Mind Imprint Project?"

Yi Kai smiled and said, "Don't rush. As I mentioned before, the Mind Imprint Project involves many scientific fields, including Gene Instinct Studies, Subconscious Studies, Conscious Studies, Unconscious Studies, Self-Awareness Studies, Neural Synapse Studies, the Biological Evolution Non-Cognition, and the Biological Evolution Self-Awareness."

"That's right," Yu Nanfeng nodded.

Seeing this, Yi Kai stopped rambling and continued, "Animals leave their offspring only genetic codes, while humans leave their offspring the tools to create everything, including not only instinctive genes, but also language, science, culture, consciousness, concepts, and all sorts of technological creations in the material world."

Humans can not only combine their own wisdom with it, but also create and evolve upon it; this is a milestone in the birth of wisdom.

"So here's the question." At this point, Yi Kai looked up and around at everyone, then raised his finger and pointed to his own brain. "How does this intelligent brain achieve self-awareness and creation?"

"First of all, we can be certain that the human brain is a superphysiological brain. The reason it is called superphysiological is because the intelligence it generates surpasses Gene Instinct."

However, a person is not simply a brain; a person is a holistic system, a self-aware and self-organizing system. The reason humans are capable of self-aware creation is that they are a system where various components work together as a whole. Nevertheless, the brain plays a crucial role in the process of self-aware creation.

As you all know, we live in an era where Gene Editing Technology is fully developed. Therefore, the difference between one person and another lies not in appearance or traits, but in the brain and thinking.

"The effects produced by the brain are far beyond what language and brain development can estimate. In order to reveal the actual working principle and effect of the brain, we started with the Kuntai People and the Dog-Headed People and conducted a large number of experiments. The purpose was to study in depth the reality of the thinking of Sentient Life, that is, the Thought Field Flow."

Having said all that in one breath, Yi Kai felt his mouth was a little dry, so he picked up a bag of water from the small conference table, squeezed some into his mouth, swallowed it in one gulp, and then continued, "In the distant past, when people were thinking, they always liked to divide a whole thought into parts, or start from the object of thought and separate it into several forms of thought, such as Image Thinking, Abstract Thinking, and Action Thinking."

"Or we can start from the effect of thinking and divide it into some types of thinking, such as Ordinary Thinking, Inspirational Thinking, and Special Thinking. Or we can start from the level of thinking and divide it into some threshold restrictions, such as subconscious, conscious, and unconscious."

"Scientific research is the same. The more we study the brain, the more we will break it down into different functions according to different parts. For example, the division of labor between the two hemispheres of the brain. The left brain is the nerve center for processing language information and carrying out Abstract Thinking or logical thinking. It is in charge of language, calculation and logical reasoning. It has the characteristics of continuity, analysis and theory."

"The right brain is the neural center for processing image information, engaging in non-logical visualization, and direct thinking. It has characteristics such as discontinuity, diffusion, wholeness, operability, and spatial dependence."

"In addition, there are different parts of the brain such as the diencephalon, midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata, cerebellum, and spinal cord, each with its own function. If we want to influence the brain through external forces and make the thoughts it generates bear the imprint we want, we must find a breakthrough in these functions. Of course, the breakthrough is just the entry point for information input, but how to input information cannot be done in isolation. Because we know that the subconscious, conscious, and unconscious are not separate processes, but rather a field effect that occurs simultaneously around the goal of thought."

"This is what we often call the Mind Field. It is a whole, just as science itself is an internal whole. The reason why it is broken down into separate wholes does not depend on the nature of things, but on the limitations of human cognition."

Therefore, if we want to imprint the information we desire into the thoughts generated by the brain, we cannot remain at a fragmented, localized level. This is because thinking is actually a dynamic whole; at any given time, various parts of the brain are functioning simultaneously, rather than just one individual part.

The brain, as a Mind Field, has conscious awareness as its target information, and subconscious awareness as all other non-target information. At the moment of thought, all the conscious information stored in the Mind Field simultaneously revolves around the subconscious target information of the thought, creating a field effect.

At this moment, Yi Kai glanced at the crowd and, seeing that everyone was still listening attentively, continued, "Ultimately, all of these are the result of the collision between Gene Instinct and intelligence. Their macroscopic manifestation can be illustrated by a simple example. For instance, if a very hungry person sees a lot of delicious food in a food store, the reason he won't eat it directly is because the decision to eat or not to eat is conscious, a stimulus Gene Instinct."

However, the consciousness stored in the brain is not limited to the instinct of hunger, but also includes other subconscious thoughts beyond instinct, such as moral values, legal views, etc.

Listening to Yi Kai's eloquent speech and watching the scientist deep in thought, Yue Yuan felt that he was probably the one who had the hardest time listening to everyone present.

After a short while, he turned to look at Yi Kai and said, "So, we've found the way?"

Yi Kai nodded and said, "More or less. We roughly understand the intricate connections between vague thoughts, incomprehensible thinking, and the almost metaphysical subconscious, conscious, unconscious, and spirit, and their connections with macroscopic and concrete things, such as brain regions, Quantum Mind Field, Synaptic Response, and Brainwave Phenomenon. However, how exactly they correspond one-to-one, how they influence each other, and what their mathematical models are, are still a long way off."

To be honest, after listening to Yi Kai rattle off a whole bunch of stuff, Yue Yuan's brain hadn't quite processed it yet, so he wasn't quite sure where the progress was specifically reflected, but there was definitely some improvement.
