Consequently, under the Data Rate Theorem, they must be constantly controlled by embedding regulators. For example, blood pressure and the stream of consciousness requirepersistent delicate regulation in higher organisms. Here, using the Rate Distortion Theorem of information theory, we derive a form of the Data Rate Theorem of control theory that characterizes such instability for adiabatically stationary nonergodic systems and uncover novel forms of cognitive dynamics under stochastic challenge. These range from aperiodic stochastic amplification to Yerkes-Dodson signal transduction and outright system collapse. The analysis, deliberately closely adapted from recent purely biological studies, leads toward ...

These more complex dynamic entities emerged through evolutionary exaptation of the inevitable information crosstalk between coresident cognitive modules. In consequence of the debrided nature of consciousness, it should not be difficult to construct a fast, single workspace `conscious machine' that mimics the human tunable neuronal global workspace system. Tied to a 'backbrain' AI that has learned hyperrapid stereotypic pattern responses to some particular set of likely challenges, the result is an elementary 'emotional' conscious machine. A clever designer, however, may want to use available high-speed electronics to mimic the more capable multiple-workspace/workf...
