Why Consciousness Can’t Be Reduced — And Mathematics Proves It
Medium: https://medium.com/@jsmith0475/why-consciousness-cant-be-reduced-and-mathematics-proves-it-6d6fd1b8518e
This paper, by Dr. Jerry A. Smith, argues that consciousness is irreducible due to the transarithmetical complexity of neural tree space. Using Friedman’s TREE function, the author shows that brain connectivity transcends standard formal systems, making a reductive account mathematically impossible.
