3 Significance and application of the theory: a deep understanding of human thinking activities
This paper will further explore Professor Yucong Duan's theory on consciousness and subconsciousness, especially explaining consciousness as a BUG or illusion caused by physical limitations, especially the limited processing ability, in the process of word solitaire. Starting from the limitation of this processing ability, we will discuss the essence of consciousness and subconscious, the relationship between them, and the significance and application of this theory.
1 Essence of consciousness and subconsciousness: the limitation of processing ability and the illusion of BUG
Consciousness and subconsciousness play an important role in human thinking activities. Consciousness is interpreted as a BUG or illusion caused by physical limitations, especially the limited processing power, in the process of word solitaire. The limitation of this processing power means that our brain has limitations in processing information and cannot capture and understand complex information completely and accurately. Therefore, in the process of connecting words, we often have deviations or mistakes, which leads to an illusion of consciousness and mistook some information for the whole or all.
The subconsciousness is regarded as the essence of word solitaire, which works silently under our consciousness. The subconsciousness stores a lot of information and experience, which is one of the main driving forces of our behavior and decision-making. However, just like consciousness, the subconsciousness is also affected by the limitation of processing ability, which may produce some deviations or mistakes. Therefore, there is a complicated relationship between consciousness and subconsciousness. They are interdependent and interact, which together form the basis of human thinking activities.
2 Relationship between consciousness and subconsciousness: the interaction under the limitation of processing ability
There is a close interaction between consciousness and subconscious. Consciousness is interpreted as the explanation of the bugs produced by the subconscious, and the subconscious is the essence of the word solitaire. This relationship reflects the interaction between consciousness and subconsciousness under the limitation of processing ability. In the process of information processing, our brains often can't capture and understand information completely and accurately, which leads to an illusion of consciousness. And this illusion will affect our understanding and cognition of the subconscious, making us biased or wrong about our own cognition and behavior.
Furthermore, the relationship between consciousness and subconsciousness can also be interpreted as circular feedback under the limitation of processing power. Consciousness is not only an explanation of the subconscious, but also explained by the subconscious. This process of mutual explanation makes the relationship between consciousness and subconscious more complicated and profound, and reveals the essence and mechanism of human thinking activities.
3 Significance and application of the theory: a deep understanding of human thinking activities
Professor Yucong Duan's theory provides us with a new perspective to understand the relationship between consciousness and subconsciousness. Consciousness is interpreted as an illusion under the limitation of processing ability, and the subconscious is the essence of this illusion. This theory not only deepens the understanding of consciousness and subconsciousness, but also provides new ideas and methods for the development of psychology and philosophy. For example, in clinical psychology, this theory can be used to explain the mechanism and treatment of some psychological diseases; In the field of artificial intelligence, this theory can also be used to improve the design and operation of artificial intelligence systems.
At the same time, this theory also brings some challenges and problems. For example, how to explain the specific relationship between consciousness and subconscious? What is the formation and operation mechanism of consciousness? These problems need further study and discussion in order to better understand the essence and mechanism of human thinking activities.
Professor Yucong Duan's viewpoint provides us with a brand-new perspective to understand the relationship between consciousness and subconscious. Consciousness is interpreted as an illusion under the limitation of processing ability, and the subconscious is the essence of this illusion. This theory not only deepens the understanding of consciousness and subconsciousness, but also provides new ideas and methods for the development of psychology and philosophy. In the future research, we can explore the relationship between consciousness and subconscious deeply through further empirical research and theoretical discussion, and explore the formation and operation mechanism of consciousness, thus providing new enlightenment and breakthrough for the study of human thinking activities.
本文将进一步深入探讨段玉聪教授关于意识和潜意识的理论，特别是将意识解释为在文字接龙过程中受到物理限制特别是处理能力的有限性引起的BUG或错觉。我们将从这种处理能力的有限性出发，探讨意识和潜意识的本质、它们之间的关系，以及这一理论的意义和应用。
在人类思维活动中，意识和潜意识扮演着重要的角色。意识被解释为在文字接龙过程中受到物理限制特别是处理能力的有限性引起的BUG或错觉。这种处理能力的有限性意味着我们的大脑在处理信息时存在局限性，无法完全准确地捕捉和理解复杂的信息。因此，在文字接龙的过程中，我们常常会出现偏差或错误，导致意识产生一种错觉，将部分信息误认为整体或全部。
潜意识则被视作文字接龙的本质，是在我们意识之下默默运作的。潜意识储存了大量的信息和经验，它是我们行为和决策的主要驱动力之一。然而，正如意识一样，潜意识也受到处理能力的有限性的影响，可能会产生一些偏差或错误。因此，意识和潜意识之间形成了一种错综复杂的关系，它们相互依存、相互作用，共同构成了人类思维活动的基础。
意识与潜意识之间存在着密切的互动关系。意识被解释为对潜意识产生的BUG的解释，而潜意识则是文字接龙的本质。这种关系反映了处理能力的有限性下意识与潜意识之间的相互作用。在信息处理过程中，我们的大脑常常无法完全准确地捕捉和理解信息，导致意识产生一种错觉。而这种错觉又会影响我们对潜意识的理解和认知，使得我们对自身的认知和行为产生偏差或错误。
进一步地，意识与潜意识之间的关系也可以被解释为处理能力的有限性下的循环反馈。意识不仅是对潜意识的一种解释，同时也被潜意识解释着。这种相互解释的过程使得意识和潜意识之间的关系更加复杂和深奥，揭示了人类思维活动的本质和机制。
段玉聪教授的理论为我们提供了一个新的视角，来理解意识和潜意识之间的关系。意识被解释为在处理能力的有限性下产生的一种错觉，而潜意识则是这种错觉的本质。这一理论不仅深化了对意识和潜意识的理解，也为心理学和哲学领域的发展提供了新的思路和方法。例如，在临床心理学中，这一理论可以用来解释一些心理疾病的发生机制和治疗方法；在人工智能领域，这一理论也可以用来改进人工智能系统的设计和运作方式。
同时，这一理论也带来了一些挑战和问题。例如，如何解释意识和潜意识之间的具体关系？意识的形成和运作机制是什么？这些问题需要进一步的研究和探讨，以便更好地理解人类思维活动的本质和机制。
段玉聪教授的观点为我们提供了一个全新的视角，来理解意识和潜意识之间的关系。意识被解释为在处理能力的有限性下产生的一种错觉，而潜意识则是这种错觉的本质。这一理论不仅深化了对意识和潜意识的理解，也为心理学和哲学领域的发展提供了新的思路和方法。在未来的研究中，我们可以通过进一步的实证研究和理论探讨，深入探究意识与潜意识之间的关系，探究意识的形成和运作机制，为人类思维活动的研究提供新的启示和突破口。

Data can be regarded as a concrete manifestation of the same semantics in our cognition. Often, Data represents the semantic confirmation of the existence of a specific fact or observation, and is recognised as the same object or concept by corresponding to some of the same semantic correspondences contained in the existential nature of the cognitive subject's pre-existing cognitive objects. When dealing with data, we often seek and extract the particular identical semantics that labels that data, and then unify them as an identical concept based on the corresponding identical semantics. For example, when we see a flock of sheep, although each sheep may be slightly different in terms of size, colour, gender, etc., we will classify them into the concept of "sheep" because they share our semantic understanding of the concept of "sheep". The same semantics can be specific, for example, when identifying an arm, we can confirm that a silicone arm is an arm based on the same semantics as a human arm, such as the same number of fingers, the same colour, the same arm shape, etc., or we can determine that the silicone arm is not an arm because it doesn't have the same semantics as a real arm, which is defined by the definition of "can be rotated". It is also possible to determine that the silicone arm is not an arm because it does not have the same semantics as a real arm, such as "rotatable".
Information, on the other hand, corresponds to the expression of different semantics in cognition. Typically, Information refers to the creation of new semantic associations by linking cognitive DIKWP objects with data, information, knowledge, wisdom, or purposes already cognised by the cognising subject through a specific purpose. When processing information, we identify the differences in the DIKWP objects they are cognised with, corresponding to different semantics, and classify the information according to the input data, information, knowledge, wisdom or purpose. For example, in a car park, although all cars can be classified under the notion of 'car', each car's parking location, time of parking, wear and tear, owner, functionality, payment history and experience all represent different semantics in the information. The different semantics of the information are often present in the cognition of the cognitive subject and are often not explicitly expressed. For example, a depressed person may use the term "depressed" to express the decline of his current mood relative to his previous mood, but this "depressed" is not the same as the corresponding information because its contrasting state is not the same as the corresponding information. However, the corresponding information cannot be objectively perceived by the listener because the contrasting state is not known to the listener, and thus becomes the patient's own subjective cognitive information.
Knowledge corresponds to the complete semantics in cognition. Knowledge is the understanding and explanation of the world acquired through observation and learning. In processing knowledge, we abstract at least one concept or schema that corresponds to a complete semantics through observation and learning. For example, we learn that all swans are white through observation, which is a complete knowledge of the concept "all swans are white" that we have gathered through a large amount of information.
Wisdom corresponds to information in the perspective of ethics, social morality, human nature, etc., a kind of extreme values from the culture, human social groups relative to the current era fixed or individual cognitive values. When dealing with Wisdom, we integrate this data, information, knowledge, and wisdom and use them to guide decision-making. For example, when faced with a decision-making problem, we integrate various perspectives such as ethics, morality, and feasibility, not just technology or efficiency.
Purpose can be viewed as a dichotomy (input, output), where both input and output are elements of data, information, knowledge, wisdom, or purpose. Purpose represents our understanding of a phenomenon or problem (input) and the goal we wish to achieve by processing and solving that phenomenon or problem (output). When processing purposes, the AI system processes the inputs according to its predefined goals (outputs), and gradually brings the outputs closer to the predefined goals by learning and adapting.
