  • Abstract
    We have previously described the fuzzy space time of cortical computation as the doubling unit square with 10 fold doublings being the limit of one cycle of time after which the curvature swept out by the sequence of 90 degree sweeps of the square diagonal ceases. This limit of 10 is the same limit of symmetry breaking between two fuzzy sets as points in a unit hypercube first defined by us as the measure “K”, and as shown by cellular automata. This same doubling allows the fuzzy entropy of each fuzzy set to decrease by the least amount and new fuzzy sets to be added as new inflow of information from incoming signals from sensory nervous input. We now present an anatomical and physiologic correlate of fuzzy cortical computation for conscious perception. The importance of this discovery is that it allows for a lucid explanation of human perception based on the juxtaposition, synthesis and contrasting, of incoming sensory data with the least amount of degradation of the real world. This contrasts with the concept that human decision making is replaceable with probability driven perception. Crisp representation of the real world matches that world least.
