Can you present your proof that "universe is entirely not deterministic and predicated on conscious processes" because humans beings (and all conscious entities) exist?
Yes.
But you wont like it. This is the science and tech section. Not the philosophy section
How do we know anything? eg, We collect data. You may say that a particle accelerator accelerates a particle, captures the collision, prints off the photo, analyses the data, there we go. All recorded and done.
You forgot one vital part of the equation; someone has to consciously look at the result or it aint recorded or useful at all. Same with anything. Everything is filtered through our consciousness whether we like it or not. There is no escaping that.
The problem I see with this is that the universe changes with the advent of consciousness (however it is defined). There would be a transition between a totally deterministic universe and a universe that is "entirely not deterministic".
I dont think that there ever was a deterministic stage, I think that consciousness has always been here, down at the deepest vacuum level (unified field level) and the deterministic processes are just what the consciousness percieves.
Looking at the relationship between consciousness and material reality, you have to consider whether the material world can be derived from a conscious reality, or even whether consciousness itself could be the fundamental building blocks of the universe.
It all comes down to what consciousness is. If your a very materialistic scientist you'll say its just a bunch of neurons acting like a computer. But its impossible to explain how a mass of neurons can ultimately become aware of itself, why computers with similar capabilities dont have conscious attributes, etc.
You need to evaluate reality and what makes something real to us via our senses. If you kick a rock and hurt your toe it feels real, you might hear sounds, bump into people, etc. Experiences are also very consistant, if you see a car driving down a street it just doesn't disappear it keeps going, so there is a consistancy with time. And you also have a cross comparison, I can ask you what you see and you can ask me what I see. Thing is that all of these criteria come back to how real it feels to us, as when I cross reference with you you are part of my reality too. So its still a matter of if I hear someone out there agreeing with me or not it still has to do with what I am perceiving and whether or not what I percieve is real or not.
Imagine mechanistic sun system with planets and no inhabitants. The system is deterministic completely. But what if a passing group of conscious entities came along and inhabited a planet and moved the orbit of some? This has gone from being a mechanical deterministic system to a non determinsitic system by simply adding in consious and free will.
* This post reflects my most extreme possible opinions on this matter, I by no means think the above is beyond dispute or completely right! I haven't gone off the deep end. Yet.
