1.TheSummarizationoftheDefinitionsofConsciousness

Thedefinitionofconsciousnesshasbeendisputedforseveralthousandsyear.Sometimesthedebatesresultfromthedifferentregulationsofdefinition.Toavoidit,thefollowingregulationsofdefinitionareproposed.

Regulationofdefinition1.Definitionofconsciousnessmustbeaccordedwiththeeverydaymeaningoftheword“consciousness”,thatis,defining

consciousnessisnotvoluntary,itisbuttheinterpretationofthewidelyusedforthousandsyearconceptandisonlytheabstractofthecharacteristicsofthematter,tothematterthewidelyusedconceptofconsciousnessrefers.

Regulationofdefinition2.Definitionofconsciousnessmustbeacceptablebothforphilosophyandthescience.Thedefinershouldbeclearthatthedefinitionoftheword“consciousness”isjustoneasboththephilosophersandthescientistsreferto,thereshouldnotbetheseparateinterpretationoftheword“consciousness”fromanotherstudyfields.

Regulationofdefinition3.Theconceptofconsciousnessmustbecommonforanytypeofthemattertobetestedbythedefinition-standard,inotherword,nomatterhuman,animalormachineitis,ifitsatisfiesthedefinition-standardofconsciousness,itshouldberegardedasbeingconscious.

Bytheunderstandingthethoughtsofregulationsofdefinition1,weshouldbeabletoabstractthecommonmeaningsamongthevariousdefinitions.

NormanMalcolmexplainedthecommonmeanings.Hepointedoutthat“beingconscious”isusedinthetwodifferentways.Thefirstuseiscalledtransitive,becausethisformofconsciousnesstakesanobject,thatis,itisconsciousnessofsomething.Theseconduseiscalledintransitive,becausethisformofconsciousnesshasnoobject.[1]

FromtheviewpointofNormanMalcolm,wecanconcludethattheprimarysenseoftheword“consciousness”istransitive.Wecandefineconsciousnessthattheessenceofconsciousnessistransitivityofainformationsystem,andtransitivitycanbedefinedasacertaincorrespondencebetweenthesystemofinformationandtheoutsidematters.Forexample,theword“sun”correspondtheentitysun.Correspondence,astheessenceofconsciousness,canbemodeledinmathematicexpressiondenotingthecorrespondence.

2.TheMathematicModelofConsciousness

Modelingconsciousnesshasbeenstartedforalongterm.ThecleardeclarationthatconsciousnesscanbemodeledashomomorphismofagroupwasmadebyJeanPiagetwhichprovedthethoughtofNormanMalcolmabouttransitivityofconsciousness

JeanPiagetbelievedthattherearesomephysicalstructuresindependentonhuman,andthestructuresisinaccordancewiththeoperationstructuresofourmind.Transformationofthephysicalandpsychologicalstructurescanbeexpressedbyamodeloftransformationofgroup.However,JeanPiagethasnotgivenamathematicexpression,andhehasnottakingthemodelforthecommonmodelconsciousness.
