Intuition

After reading aditya's post

i went on to thinking more....

The human mind ; physical brain + not so physical 'soul' is a particularly
crazy design.
I have often tried to model the same by trying to duplicate the
external behavioral characteristics and mapping them onto known patterns...
e.g. trying to explain unconscious intuitions by having a subroutine to
compare previously successful strategies with a current one etc.

But recently (may be a year or so ) i have been making a rather personal
breakthrough in my approach towards theory of human 'soul'.

Here it goes : It doesn't exist.... :D,instead what exists are millions and
zillions of small tiny little 'soulets'. Each specialized in a one task and
one task only. When we are born these soulets are totally uninitialized.
Each soulet is responsible for nothing in particular. They are just a chaotic
group of tiny little confused beings. Each individual soulet has only one
goal, to survive. And the survival of a human being depends on number of
soulets surviving, and in a reverse way a survival of the soulet depends on
of how many times it helped the human being to survive.

Another property of these soulets is that these have different sensors.
Some can sense temperature data, some blood chemical compositions, some just
have a universal sensor(donno what that is just a concept) etc etc.

So the soulet has three basic states:
1. NILL state: its a confused state.... it doesn't know how to survive yet. it
cant help a human to survive, it tells human always 0 on any question asked.
2. Helping state: it has observed a phenomenon and can now tell the human 1,0
or -1;
3. dead : it stops answering a human.

now at birth we simply don't know anything. soulets vote always 0 and if the
human gets no damage all of them get a soulet credit on their account.
Now a each soulet is recording its sensor data each time it votes.
so a survival marks association with the current data.
Now when in the lifetime a soulet encounters a data different than the data
previously associated for survival it votes -1.
the human sees how many soulets go for a particular choice and how many won't
and decides accordingly..if the human takes a damage the soulet agreeing with
the choice is killed. Otherwise the ones that don't agree die.

Now this may seem like all soulets will die eventually ... but it won't be so.
with sufficiently large number of soulets and sufficiently large number of
types of sensors a soulet can have, the chances that a human will take no
damage are roughly same as the ones that it will take damage. And given that
some help is always given to the human by other people in its infancy, i.e.
an environment is made such that the randomized decisions will lead to a
survival of the human, the soulet with the wrong associations will start
dying faster than the right ones.

With this the basic design is complete. I won't go into too much details but
it can be statistically shown that such being will closely follow the
characteristics of intuition, consciousness and unconscious processing.
(may be i will put the actual numbers up sometime.)

Now comes the best part.... These soulets aren't exactly same physical
entities.
It can be a neuron in your brain or a gland in you mouth, or a carefully
balanced mixture of chemicals in you blood stream.
Even an equation representing your height to weight ratio can be a soulet.
The more the number the more the model fits to reality.

Ok i am too numb by thinking all this. May be i will follow up in few
days .........................
