KNOWLEDGE IS NEITHER “FLOW” NOR “THING” BUT “CONSCIOUSNESS” : KNOWLEDGE IS EMERGENT PROPERTY OF HUMAN BEING AS COMPLEX SYSTEM

[Md Santo]

• From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia on CONSCIOUSNESS

Consciousness is variously defined as subjective experience, or awareness, or wakefulness, or the executive control system of the mind.[1] It is an umbrella term that may refer to a variety of mental phenomena.[2] Although humans realize what everyday experiences are, consciousness refuses to be defined, philosophers note (e.g. John Searle in The Oxford Companion to Philosophy):[3]
"Anything that we are aware of at a given moment forms part of our consciousness, making conscious experience at once the most familiar and most mysterious aspect of our lives."
—Schneider and Velmans, 2007[4]
Consciousness in medicine (e.g., anesthesiology) is assessed by observing a patient's alertness and responsiveness, and can be seen as a continuum of states ranging from alert, oriented to time and place, and communicative, through disorientation, then delirium, then loss of any meaningful communication, and ending with loss of movement in response to painful stimulation.[5]
Consciousness in psychology and philosophy has four characteristics: subjectivity, change, continuity and selectivity.[1][6] Philosopher Franz Brentano has suggested intentionality or aboutness (that consciousness is about something). However, within the philosophy of mind there is no consensus on whether intentionality is a requirement for consciousness.[7]
Consciousness is the subject of much research in philosophy of mind, psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, cognitive neuroscience and artificial intelligence. Issues of practical concern include how the presence of consciousness can be assessed in severely ill or comatose people;[8] whether non-human consciousness exists and if so how it can be measured; at what point in fetal development consciousness begins; and whether computers can achieve a conscious state.[9][10][11]


• From “WE ARE THE KNOWLEDGE : HYBRID DEFINITION OF KNOWLEDGE” - http://mobeeknowledge.ning.com/forum/topics/we-are-the-knowledge-hy...

…….. Considering our DI-KW model, as from Feb 8, 2010 we made adjustment to our definition of Knowledge as follow :

Knowledge is Human Enlightenment Agent (HEA) evolved as emergent behavior inside human body as complex (adaptive) system since beginning, having Consciousness* and free will (mind and value) as well as behaving dynamically as Subject acting to transform physical realities into Data and Information toward higher level and maturity of Knowledge and beyond

*This is modified definition after we formally announced the DIKW (stands for Data Information Knowledge Wisdom) model transformed into separated DI-KW model (http://mobeeknowledge.ning.com/forum/topics/the-origin-of-knowledge... - THE ORIGIN OF KNOWLEDGE AND KM : DI-KW SEPARATED ENTITIES MODEL and http://mobeeknowledge.ning.com/forum/topics/blooms-taxonomy-knowled... - BLOOM’S TAXONOMY, KNOWLEDGE AND KM REVISITED : SHOULD DIKW MODEL TRANSFORMED INTO DI-KW MODEL?)



• From “THE EDGE OF SCIENTIFIC BOUNDARY : KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT DOMAIN” - http://mobeeknowledge.ning.com/forum/topics/the-edge-of-scientific

See the Attachment : THE STRUCTURE OF PHYSICS - KNOWLEDGE - KM.pdf showing that the domain of Knowledge is located beyond the boundary of scientific domain of Data – Information continuum. Here we coined terminology “Knowledgeable Science” in contrast with “Scientific Knowledge” (visit the link http://mobeeknowledge.ning.com/forum/topics/knowledge-management-is... and K-base http://delicious.com/mobeeknowledge/knowledgeable )

From this current article (see the Attachment below on “BLOOM’S TAXONOMY AND HUMAN SYSTEM BIOLOGY- BASED KM (HSBKM©) RELATIONSHIP”), showing that highly significant correlation exist between the depth of human behavior of learning (Bloom’s Taxonomy) with Knowledge with Lower Consciousness (KLC), Knowledge with Medium Consciousness (KMC) and Knowledge with Higher Consciousness (KHC) consecutively



• Therefore, Knowledge is neither “Thing” nor “Flow” but evolved as “Consciousness” behaving as emergent property inside human being as complex system.


• Underlined notions :
The word “Thing” is located in the Physical domain within Data (D) – Information (I) continuum
The word “Flow” as a verb indicating a dynamical behavior move freely from place to place as well as a noun showing mass or quantity flowing. Both those either verb or noun located also in the domain of D – I continuum and Time – Space dependent as well. Knowledge as consciousness, treated as intangible assetts only Time dependent considering the domain located beyond D – I domain
