Its so interested in examining and fitting the transmission/transduction hypothesis that it doesn't even weigh against the typical hypothesis, e.g. for unexpected lucidity in patients with brain damage: neural plasticity. Then we have working models of neurons and have observed neurological function in organisms and simulated neural networks with abilities which previously seemed to be limited to organic brains... So, unless we accidentally created transducers in these models or there is only a certain part of consciosness or perhaps certain faculties which we derive from a transduction ability, it just flat out seems like a pretty nonsense idea. In saying that... God I love this sort of drivel. So intriguing. If there's any truth to this model it's that we are leveraging some yet-undescovered physics in our brains for certain faculties, but it seems extraordinarily unlikely that wholesale consciousness is being broadcast in to our heads! Have had some drug experiences which warped my perception in such a way that it felt like I was just a node in a network... But that's hallucination, not an alternative to the scientific method.
