Proactive Consciousness
Consciousness as Proactive Actions through Reinforcement Learning through Cooperative Organization
This book explores the evolving landscape of consciousness studies, moving beyond the limitations of current theories. Existing biological models often focus too narrowly on neurology, while information-processing models remain too abstract. To bridge this gap, this book presents a new interdisciplinary framework: the CORLPA (Cooperative-Organization-Reinforcement-Learning-Proactive-Actions) model. The central premise of this model is a fundamental distinction between the non-living and the living. As stated in Newton's third law of motion, inanimate objects merely react to actions. In contrast, conscious, living beings can react proactively; they can anticipate and navigate forthcoming events to ensure survival and growth.
