Diebert - And in case you bring up concept, this is nothing but a model or matrix which a computer memory holds as well and sometimes displays on a screen. For example the avatar icon representing yourself, or a username representing your identity.
Jupiviv - A rock has memory too - e.g., a pebble may hold the memory of the waves of a river, or of a tree in a forest existing as one of the components of the rock. What differentiates the rock's memory from the memory of a conscious being?
Diebert - Nothing, there's only a difference in capacity and speed. Consciousness seems but an artifact of this. A rocky sediment has been called slow life by some, perhaps one could also call it low consciousness. If you talk slow and loud enough it might actually "hear" you, that is: influenced by you and react.
This is where I should have directly pointed out that what you're saying doesn't make sense. It's not clear what you mean by memory, by capacity and speed of memory, and consciousness being an artifact of that greater capacity and speed. You're also not clear about what you mean by "slow life", and haven't given any reasons why it can be called "low consciousness" because of that. You've also not clarified why a rock reacting to circumstances is "hearing", and why that should lead us to believe that it has life or consciousness.
Unless you clarify these things, the discussion will go nowhere.
For my part, I'm defining once again what I mean by consciousness, memory and perception. Consciousness is simply all concepts. Memory also comprises of concepts(things that have appeared to us in the past). "Perception" would be most logically defined as the appearance of a thing to mind, which would also be a concept. It is possible to distinguish perception from memory on the basis that perception is about things in the present, and memory is about things in the past, so it may be said that memory and perception are both elements of consciousness.
