In The Hidden Spring, our guest Mark Solms does not dive too deeply into Karl Fristonās mathematics. As you will discover, he summarises its implications, describing Fristonās free energy as a quantifiable measure of how a system models the world and how it behaves. This notion leads to a very different idea of consciousness from Descartesās reason-centric version that set up the puzzling dualism of āmindā and āmatterā, a la Damasio’s Descartes Error. Mark explores the ācortical fallacy,ā which refers to his view that neuroscientists who have argued that the āseat of consciousnessā is in the cortex are wrong. Recent neuroscience has shed light on where this is.
As Mark points out, damage to just two cubic millimetres of the upper brainstem will āobliterate all consciousness.ā
