53. THE THEORY OF INTENTIALITY AND ITS CONTENT

Intentionality is the focus of human consciousness on a specific subject.

The theory of intentionality was developed by E. G. Husserl. He said that human consciousness is always directed to a certain object.

Intentional consciousness is not at all static, it is a changing process, and intentionality itself is not just a given, something existing, but a working, functioning consciousness. The object to which consciousness is directed is functioning, i.e., a person uses it in his objective activity.

Human consciousness and the surrounding world are always closely connected. Consciousness can be called the subject, and the external world - the object. Human consciousness as an intention strives for something. It does not exist by itself, but is determined by the object of its aspiration. Consciousness cannot be something permanent, some kind of substance. It has no internal content, but is in constant striving for something, as if running away from itself. This continuous process defines it as consciousness. E. G. Husserl also said that consciousness cannot be by itself, it is always about something. To exist, it needs to be in constant motion, to be directed at some object of the surrounding world. As soon as consciousness begins to be inactive (to exist, as it were, on its own without a definite direction), it falls asleep. E. G. Husserl called intentionality the impossibility of the existence of consciousness in a state of rest, without being busy, directed at a certain object from the outside.

The main condition for its appearance is the activity of people, carried out with the help of any tools and regulated through verbal communication. This activity should act as a certain goal, the achievement of which is very important for all participants.

Individual consciousness is formed in the process of joint activity. It has become necessary to build clear actions in the process of achieving goals.

Significant for the development and formation of consciousness at the moment is activity.

The more productive and interesting it is, the more developed the consciousness will be. Through consciousness, a person understands not only the surrounding world, but he himself as a person, as an individuality. A person can realize himself with the help of his activity (for example, through creativity). A person transfers the emerging thoughts and images into activities (for example, paints pictures), studying which he cognizes himself.

There are two stages in the development of human consciousness:

1) reflective;

2) conceptual.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Seagate BarraCuda 510 M.2 SSDs 12.01.2019

Seagate Technology introduced the BarraCuda 510 series of high-performance solid-state drives (SSDs).

The new solutions have received the M.2 2280 (22 x 80 mm) form factor, which makes them suitable for installation in desktop computers, laptops and ultrabooks, as well as in mini-systems. The devices are based on 3D TLC NAND flash memory microchips (three bits of information in one cell). The PCIe 3.0 x4 interface and the NVMe 1.3 standard are involved.

The BarraCuda 510 family includes two models - with a capacity of 512 GB and 256 GB. The sequential read speed of information reaches 3400 MB/s and 3050 MB/s, respectively, the sequential write speed - 2100 MB/s and 1050 MB/s. Random read IOPS (input/output operations per second) in 4KB blocks is up to 340 for the 000GB version and up to 512 for the 180GB model. When writing, this value reaches 000 and 256, respectively.

New drives support TRIM commands and SMART monitoring tools The manufacturer provides a five-year warranty on products.
