<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px" dir="ltr">Dear Krassimir,<br>first of all, thanks for
reading all the paragraphs of our most difficult paper!<br>We are grateful to
you!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Concerning the BUT (AND ITS NOVEL VARIANTS!) let's recapitulate:</p>
<p dir="ltr">Every feature is embedded in a structure. <br>The structure displays
n-dimensions. <br>We call this feature: single description. <br>Single
descriptions are points, or lines. <br>Single descriptions are perimeters, or
areas. <br>Single descriptions are single points. <br>Single descriptions are
functions, or vectors, or tensors. <br>Single descriptions are algorithms, or
parameters. <br>Single descriptions are spatial patterns, or images. <br>An
illumined surface is a single description. <br>Single descriptions are groups,
or range of data. <br>Single descriptions are symbols, or signs. <br>Single
descriptions are temporal patterns, or movements. <br>Single descriptions are
particle trajectories, or paths. <br>Single descriptions are syntactic, or
semantic, constructions. <br>Single descriptions are thermodynamic parameters,
or signals. <br>A region is single description. <br>Single descriptions are
strings.<br>Single descriptions project onto a n+1 structure. <br>Single
descriptions stand for two descriptions with matching features on the n+1
<br>structure.<br>I call the two above matching features: matching
description.<br><br></p>
<p dir="ltr">What does it mean? This means that the BUT does not describe just
POINTS with matching description, but COUNTLESS other types of matching
descriptions! <br>Therefore, it also describes a visual and an auditory inputs,
if they come from the same environmental source (e.g., in the case of
multisensory integration): this occurs for a MATHEMATICAL concept (not a
qualitative, nor inaccurate, nor a metaphysical concept) coming from
computational proximity, which is a branch of algebraic topology. </p>

<div><font size="4" face="Calibri"></font></div>
<div><font size="4" face="Calibri">BUT states that, if a single point on a
circumference projects to a higher spatial dimension, it gives rise to two
antipodal points with matching description on a sphere, and vice versa
(<b>Figure 1A</b>) (Borsuk, 1933; Marsaglia, 1972; Matoušek, 2003; Beyer,
2004). This means that the two antipodal points are assessed at one level of
observation in terms of description, while a single point is assessed at a
lower level (Tozzi 2016b), i.e., point location vs. point description. Points
on a sphere are “antipodal”, provided they are diametrically opposite
(Henderson, 1996). </font></div>
<div><font size="4" face="Calibri">Examples of antipodal points are the poles of a
sphere. This means, e.g., <strong>that there exist on the earth surface at
least two antipodal points with the same temperature and pressure</strong>.
BUT looks like a translucent glass sphere between a light source and our eyes:
we watch two lights on the sphere surface instead of one. But the two lights
are not just images, they are also real with observable properties, such as
intensity and diameter.</font> </div>

<div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">At the risk of attracting the anger of all the
mathematicians in the group, I will agree with Arturo, <em>contra
</em>Krassimir. For a non-mathematician like me, a description of complex
dynamic processes such as consciousness and information can be partly
mathematical but need not involve proofs and their reduced logic.</font>
</div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">The question I have is whether the field
description is itself necessary and sufficient and if incomplete, what is
missing. Perhaps it is my intuition that consciousness is both continuous and
discontinuous, and so is its opposite, unconsciousness, which still involves
high-level nervous functions. In my picture, antipodal points are of little
relevance compared to the non-Euclidean multi-dimensionality of this dynamic
opposition, </font><font size="2" face="Arial">moving between identity and
diversity, presence and absence, clarity and vagueness, symmetry and
dissymetry, within the same high overall energy level. In any case, perhaps we
can agree that everything that is moving here is information!</font> </div>

<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px" dir="ltr">Dear Krassimir, <br>Thanks a lot for your
question, now the discussion will become hotter!</p>
<p dir="ltr">First of all, we never stated that consciousness lies either on a
n-sphere or on an Euclidean n-space.<br>Indeed, in our framework,
consciousness IS the continuous function. <br>Such function stands for a
gauge field that restores the brain symmetries, broken by sensations.
<br>Concerning brain and gauge fields, see my PLOS biology paper: <br><a href="http://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.1002400" target="_blank">http://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.1002400</a></p>
<p dir="ltr">When consciousness lacks, the inter-dimensional projections are
broken, and the nervous higher functions temporarily disappear. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Concerning the question about which are the manifolds where brain
functions lie, it does not matter whether they are spheres, or circles, or
concave, or flat structures: we demonstrated that the BUT is valid not just
for convex manifolds, but for all the kinds of manifolds. <br>See our:
<br><a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jnr.23720/abstract?userIsAuthenticated=false&deniedAccessCustomisedMessage" target="_blank">http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jnr.23720/abstract?userIsAuthenticated=false&deniedAccessCustomisedMessage</a>=<br></p>
<p dir="ltr">Therefore, even if you think that brain and biological functions
are trajectories moving on concave structures towards lesser energetic
levels, as suggested by, e.g., Fokker-Planck equations, it does not matter:
you may always find the antipodal points with matching description predicted
by BUT. </p>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Dear FIS colleagues,</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">I think, it is needed to put
discussion on mathematical foundation. Let me remember that:</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"></font> </p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="4">The <b>Borsuk–Ulam
theorem</b> (BUT), states that every </font><a title="Continuous function" style="href: 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_function'"><strong><font size="4">continuous function</font></strong></a><font size="4"> from an
</font><a title="N-sphere" style="href: 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-sphere'"><font size="4"><i>n</i>-sphere</font></a><font size="4"> into </font><a title="Euclidean space" style="href: 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_space'"><strong><font size="4">Euclidean <i>n</i>-space</font></strong></a><font size="4"> maps some
pair of </font><a title="Antipodal point" style="href: 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipodal_point'"><font size="4">antipodal points</font></a><font size="4"> to the same point.
</font></font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Here, two points on a sphere are
called antipodal if they are in exactly opposite directions from the
sphere's center.</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Formally: <strong>if</strong>
<span><span style="DISPLAY: none">f : <em>S<sup> n</sup> → R</em>
<sup>n</sup> </span></span> <strong>is</strong>
<strong>continuous</strong> then there exists an <span><span style="DISPLAY: none">x ∈ S n </span></span>such that: <span><span style="DISPLAY: none">f ( − x ) = f ( x )</span></span>.</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">[ </font><a title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borsuk%E2%80%93Ulam_theorem" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borsuk%E2%80%93Ulam_theorem" target="_blank"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borsuk%E2%80%93Ulam_theorem</font></a><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"> ] </font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"></font> </p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="4">Who may proof that
consciousness is a </font><a title="Continuous function" style="href: 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_function'"><font size="4"><strong>continuous function</strong></font></a><font size="4"> from
reflected reality ???</font></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="4">Who may proof that
consciousness is an </font><a title="Euclidean space" style="href: 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_space'"><font size="4"><strong>Euclidean <i>n</i>-space</strong></font></a><font size="4">
???</font></font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">After proving these statements we
may think further.</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"></font> </p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Yes, discussion is interesting but,
I am afraid, it is not so scientific.</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"></font> </p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Friendly regards</font></p>
