A Fractal Model of Consciousness
p. 330-336
Abstract
Rather than trying to build a mathematical model of consciousness on the ground of differential geometry or algebraic topology, I shall rely tentatively on traditional symbolism and representations, such as found in Sufism, Taoism, Hinduism and the hebrew Qabalah, all of them fitting nicely together.
Nonetheless, in the course of this analysis will emerge situations where fractal schemes, albeit implicig are very pertinent. At the end of the process, we will meet a hierarchy of scales reminiscent of the evolution of groups of cells in a cancerous tumor, suggesting that a space-time fractality could be at work in the mechanism of consciousness.
