A Stone May Be Conscious 1.1 2007/04/16 01:05:57.537 GMT-5 2007/04/16 01:07:30.835 GMT-5 Kedar Joshi superultramodern@gmail.com Kedar Joshi superultramodern@gmail.com Stone, Inanimate, Conscious, Consciousness, Semi-Idealism, NSTP Theory, Spatial, Illusive, Virtual, Real, Non-Spatial, Feelings, States of Consciousness, Conceptual, Superhuman, Mind, NSTPs, Engine, Broken, Pain, Death, Pieces, Type This work attempts to demonstrate the significant possibility (as contrast to the superhyperbolic or the least possibility) in an apparently inanimate thing, like a stone, being conscious. According to the semi-idealistic framework of the NSTP (Non – Spatial Thinking Process) theory, any spatial, and therefore illusive/virtual, entity may have (real non-spatial) feelings/states of consciousness associated with it, provided it has an appropriate conceptual representation in the superhuman engine. A stone, for example, being an apparently spatial entity, may have conceptual representation in the superhuman mind/NSTPs/engine so as to be conscious. Thus, it may be that a broken stone feels pain till its death and then its pieces become conscious. The kind/type of states of consciousness associated with a stone depends entirely upon the kind/type of conceptual representation it has in the superhuman engine.
