What does it mean that humans might find (or have found) evidence that mammal brains function in a mathematical way? So if true why is it surprising that such a brain would find the same functions in the world it perceives? If perception is a mathematical function then the loop closes. Or does it? Can such a brain conceive of being somehow, above its physical basis? Evidence that it's mathematics all the way, is seen in the audiovisual part of mammal brains (specifically human ones), where there is evidence we Fourier transform the input signals.
I think it's more like the other way around, human brains evolved to mathematically process the mathematical patterns present in the physical data we perceive through our senses.
my maths level is just a little below a 15yo high school child but i find these things very interesting the theory fascinates me, however i get easily lost attempting to process or follow any type of equation of any type(except the 4 basics which i can mostly do long form on paper to any length, though my division is poorly practiced) my brain is not a maths brain thus i am not sure if you are making a joke, which i kinda get or you are discussing theory lol(relative conceptual physics of [perceptual]observer relativity) schrodinger's cat n a box moussing around ?

Huh. Sorry, you'll have to explain what is "the other way around". And the process of evolution of brains and neural cells, is it mathematical, or at least algorithmic?
According to Tegmark the brain and theoretically every complex pattern acquires "potentials" which are greater than the sum of its values. He explains this in clear terms in this very interesting video at Cambridge.
If self-perception is a self-referential mathematical function, the looped pattern has a name; consciousness......Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
linear reality functionality is measured against a basic time factor of material annotation that does not mean consciousness must obey this law to define it as a "looped" function much like concepts of mental illness OCD, mental ticks etc Tourettes ...(im trying to think of others that are well recognized) variant forms of mania (i will probably think of some others you may easily identify with later) behavioral process that derives a perceptional functionality value to a subset data gain for accumulative consciousness valuation etc discussing the dynamics of deep thought physics you need to be wet, in the water swimming & at depth otherwise the simple laws of physics fail to render value to their own factual functions what is often misconstrued is the ease by which some can describe something that in reality has many levels of meaning. old world psychology wants everything broken down to a single value (do only 1 thing at a time) this simply is incapable of comprehending the multi verse of consciousness of the complex human mind
Consciousness is a free range beast in a meadow of edible bytes of knowledge and wondering ideas It eats both. Wherein its digestive system mix's both. It then regurgitates new edible bytes of knowledge and wondering ideas ideas It is NOT self-perception is a self-referential mathematical function, the looped pattern The above is more akin to madness, where thought loops go around and around, becoming embedded, until no matter its validity, the thought becomes mistaken for reality. Repeating the loop produces same incorrect answer (thought). There is a physical example of this phenomenon Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
It is according to Tegmark. He explains it in the video. Consciousness is an emergent potential of self-referential feedbacks in biological patterns.neural system.

Lots there to process. Lots there I disagree with Unfortunately no free moments Will try to re-watch and make notes as it goes along Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Indeed. The brain can only make "best guesses" based on the self-referential processing of incoming sensory data and comparing it with stored memory. From this comparative association, the brain makes an approximate "best guess". When all parties agree on their best guess, we call that reality. (Anil Seth). When that process is complete the brain wipes the part that does not become memory and "clears the mind" from irrelevant info. Indeed, it is called PBA (Pseudobulbar Affect) It produces a continuous looping of the same information without a cleansing mechanism or emotional release, until a threshold is reached and the subject is no longer in control of the self-referential looping process and an uncontrolled emotional physical behavior is the result. What Is Pseudobulbar Affect? Pseudobulbar Affect Symptoms https://www.webmd.com/brain/pseudobulbar-affect#1 The results of an uncontrolled self-referential feedback loop.
It's one of them. That is how it was explained to me, after my daughter's car accident which put her in the hospital for 3 weeks with head trauma. But I am open to new information.
once there is a universal living wage universal health care universal housing then the discussion start using advanced knowledge of the human mind and consciousness to exploit profit and hoard wealth when there are people with no income and no health care in the same country would be like killing people by giving tools to those financial genocidal maniacs generally(with one or two exceptions), the world is currently heading in the complete opposite direction Ego Greed Selfishness No Empathy

It's just a fancy way of stating that massive egos bend space and time just like normal masses, and that's why egotistical religious people have trouble processing space-time as you mentioned. And yes I'm being super serial here. As in we're not artificially imposing a mathematical reality on nature because of the way we perceive it, rather it appears nature is mathematical in its fundamental essence and our brains evolved to recognize that. In theory, everything in evolution is algorithmic.
