> -In our goal to understand consciousness, one of the challenges that will teach us the most is in creating a consciousness. This is difficult with modern computing because the model of computing we use today (Von Neumann). HP recently made a memresistor that mimics the design of neurons, in collaboration with the Dept. of Defense. -The most progress in learning about cognition has been in the field of Artificial Intelligence. If you want to know about cognition these days, you look for an AI expert. I told you all that to tell you this:-The human brain's best analogy is that of a computer. We know that there are definite criteria for when the human brain can function. Before we can use entanglement in discussion about the theory of the mind, it needs to be demonstrated that entanglement can be controlled first. That's where quantum computing comes in. -> All matter is connected by bonds of energy at an atomic level. The very substance that comprises our physical existence is a source of energy that boggles the mind. (My mind at least) -> 
> All matter was created at extreme temperatures, and while the matter has changed forms, made new connections, and broken old connections, we are all still comprised of the mass formed at the beginning of the universe in what we assume to be a 'big bang' of enormous temperature. What we don't know, is how long this entanglement lasts, if it is destructible, or if it continues to exist once the entangled particles cool.
> -So far our experience with entanglement has been that the phenomenon self-destructs rapidly without precise electromagnetics, and a very, very low temperature. Any interaction with an entangled object destroys the entangled state. For example, the Chinese performed a feat last year where they entangled two particles and "teleported" information from one to the other. This state maintains itself until you perform a "read" operation in order to extract your qubit of information. As soon as you interact with the particle, its entangled state decays and the particles are no longer connected. -In the early universe--entangled states would have been impossible to maintain; and when matter cooled and coalesced, interactions with other particles (formed by clumping matter) would have further destroyed entangled states. Entanglement right now, only exists in labs as far as we're aware. -When you have time, for the first time they were able to entangle 10Bn bits of silicon. But read at what they had to do in order to make it happen; it is process intensive. -http://www.hpcwire.com/industry/academia/Silicon-Entanglement-Revives-Promise-of-Quantum-Computing-114394799.html

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
