Comparasion of Brain Activation State (BAS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Scholarly exploration into the origin and nature of human consciousness spans more than two millennia. Disciplines including philosophy, sociology, physics, biology and psychology have put forward diverse definitions and interpretations, yet no consensus has been reached to date. The inherent complexity of consciousness prevents any single discipline from fully, rationally and adequately revealing its essence, making it a core puzzle in humanity’s pursuit of self-understanding. This article interprets consciousness based on the history of cosmic development, analyzes its origins, explains its definition, and proposes the theory of Brain Activation States (BAS). The core argument defines consciousness as the activated state of material information in the brain, composed of energy (E), complexity (C), and orderliness (O) of material information, and establishes a semi quantitative formula for consciousness ability (CA): CA ≠ E × C × O. Based on the development history of artificial intelligence (AI) and its similarity to BAS, the following conclusion can also be drawn: the complexity (C) and orderliness (O) of material information in AI entities determine the level of intelligence. The more complex and orderly it is, the higher its level of intelligence. Obviously, for industry professionals in the field of artificial intelligence, the only job they do is to continuously improve the complexity and orderliness of material information in AI entities.
