ABSTRACT
We show that human consciousness can be modeled as a classical (not
quantum) probabilistic computer. A quantum computer representation does
not appear to be indicated because no known feature of consciousness
depends on Planck’s constant h, the telltale sign of quantum phenomena. It is
argued that the facets of consciousness are describable by an object-oriented
design with dynamically defined classes and objects. A comparison to
economic theory is also made. We argue consciousness may also have
redundant, protective mechanisms.
