Reverse engineering the mind

Abstract

Within this chapter all the requirements for reverse engineering the mind based on the knowledge imparted in the previous chapters will be discussed, and open questions attempted to be solved. A suitable theory of mind that on one side may not be the whole truth from a philosophical point of view, but serves as a valid foundation from an engineering point of view on the other side is introduced. Furthermore, as I indicated more than once, I am of the opinion that both quantum physics as well as self-organization occupy the most important roles in how our brain works and lets us experience conscious content and again, it is required to plunge into the information theoretical approach to quantum physics, quantum computer science.
