情報理論の知的遺産を継承する: ヒトの意識は脳室内脳脊髄液中の免疫応答ではないか

摘要

人類と文明の起源に興味を持った筆者は，言語のデジタル性に気づいて，その起源とメカニズムの解明に取り組むこととなり，さまざまな学術分野の講演録ゃ論文などの文献を読むことになつた.専門をもたない筆者にとっては，どの文献も一読しただけでは理解不能であったが，何度も読み返すうちに徐々に理解が深まることがわかった.そして情報には，(1)卓越した研究者が広い視野で全体像とその時点の学問の到達点を描いたレヴュー論文，(2)比較的誠実な研究者が書き残した一部間違っているが一部は正しい情報，(3)不誠実な研究者が剽窃や思いつきにもとづいて書いた，根拠が示されておらず，間違っている上に読んだ者の思考枠組みを歪める情報の少なくとも3種類あることを体感した.大事なことは，正しい情報を見極めることであり，誤った情報に誤り訂正を施すことである.筆者はフォン•ノイマンとイェルネの講演を熟読することで，ヒトの意識が脳室内脳脊髄液中の免疫応答現象ではないかと思い至った.%The author, interested in the origin of human and civilization, realized that language is digital. In order to clarify its origin and mechanism, he read lectures and papers in various disciplines. As he has no specialty, every document is difficult to understand, but he realized that in reading several times the rate of comprehension increases. He realized that there are three types of information:(1)Reviews, in many cases delivered by prominent scientists as a lecture, which provide an overview on what have been made clear and what are not yet. (2) Reports written by relatively ordinary and honest scientists, which are correct to certain extent but at the same time contain imprecise and incorrect information. (3) Poisonous information, written by dishonest and cunning authors, which show no background information and no overview. Quite often this type of information could distort the framework and paradigm of readers. It is important to evaluate the right information and detect/correct errors if any. The author came to a hypothesis that immune responses inside Cerebrospinal Fluid inside Ventricular System make human consciousness.
