The relationship between consciousness and thinking

Consciousness or thinking is the information movement of the brain. For the brain, an organ of consciousness, it is like a computer. There may not be an installation program in it, but it's still a computer, still in physical form. Consciousness and thinking actually point to the same brain signal entity. However, because they are in a specific environment, they have special habits in language expression. It can be said that the classic concept of consciousness can only be produced by expecting further recognition of human beings at present, at least in the case of different people, this statement can still be said in reality. The usual understanding, consciousness and thinking are all focused on differences.

The dormancy of consciousness relative to matter and the dormancy of thinking relative to brain signals. For example, the computer is running, and as far as the human brain is concerned, it is thinking. Consciousness refers to all programs that exist in the computer, or consciousness includes programs that don't run and run. In people's usual concept, the process of perception is not considered as thinking, but usually manifested as consciousness. In essence, consciousness is also a kind of instantaneous thinking.

For example, when I look at that man, he is a man of quality. Doesn't this consciousness (feeling state) need the support of thinking? As long as people use these thinking characteristics in their minds to compare, analyze and judge the signal operation form, it is thinking. Consciousness is a complete management signal system in the factory, while thinking is a process that depends on the signal resources of the system. Some judgment processes that take time and people are conscious or feel have thinking characteristics, and unconscious or unconscious subconscious signal movements may also have thinking characteristics. It should also be considered thinking. Dreams are conscious or unconscious signal movements.

Thinking is consciousness, and consciousness is not just thinking. There are differences between big concept and small scope, specific scope, application habits and brain signal state. One of the most basic characteristics of thinking is that it has the operational characteristics of organizing for the needs of the subject. In short, thinking is a signal movement and a state of consciousness with thinking characteristics. Consciousness can usually refer to all states of brain signals. Of course, consciousness is used to mean that the brain supports the activities of perceiving the outside world, or that the sensory organs of the brain pay attention to specific objects. It can be considered that consciousness must be driven by thinking, but many conscious thoughts have already appeared the characteristics of automation and are not easy to be perceived. Thinking usually seems to be an intentionally organized signal processing process. We can regard cognitive activities such as analysis, synthesis, judgment and reasoning as thinking, just like saying that Beijing is a city in China, but it does not exclude that other places are also cities in China. Unconscious signal processing, those primitive signal activities, as long as such activities exist objectively, are bound to be related to certain value of signal movement results. Just like the factory produces waste products in the wrong order, or the products are wrong. Still has that characteristic of proces activity. Analysis, synthesis, judgment and reasoning are the organizational states of ordered signals, so thinking does not necessarily follow the prescribed form of some organized signal activity. A person can't organize signals and can't "think". As long as brain signals are driven by some kind of activity, it is also thinking. You can't say that dreams are not thinking. The thinking of analysis, synthesis, judgment and reasoning is just an orderly thinking. Meet the requirements of thinking quality. Thinking requirements and what is thinking cannot be equated. To some extent, thinking is consciousness and consciousness is thinking. The difference is that they refer to different characteristics and advantages in their habits. Consciousness can be the static content, stored content form and active content form of thinking signal, while thinking is the active content form of signal. Just as the absoluteness of motion is similar to the relativity of stillness. The impression of an object is relatively static, which has a real impact on the deepening of people's impression and also has the characteristics of the formation of thinking results.
