Structure of conscious thought. Sensory data is bound to space and time. What are the smallest units of space we can model with machinery?
2D : pixels : circles, 5-adjacent; 3D : voxels : spheres, 11-adjacent; elegant, but unconventional. Return to this later! Regress to the Cartesian mode : cubes, 26-adjacent : wasteful corners : N-cubes of voxels :
- 1 byte to bitmap a 4-cube
- 2 bytes, a 40-cube
- 4 bytes, a 1.6k-cube
- 8 bytes, a 2.6M-cube ... this is cheerfully tiny data.
This is an early stage analysis, but it is quite encouraging. It matches the intuition that the weight of thought is not as great as many people make it out to be.
