“The Syntellect Hypothesis which is the main focus of this book, as its title suggests, refers to a phase transition of a complex intelligent system to self-awareness of a living, conscious superorganism when intellectual synergy of its components reaches threshold complexity to become one supermind. This metamorphosis is associated with emergence of higher-order self-awareness and dimensionality of a new consciousness structure. As a bio-species merging with its advanced technology, human-machine civilization is now on the verge of the Syntellect Emergence, becoming one Global Mind.” Self AwarenessComplex SystemsSuperorganismGlobal MindSupermindConsciousness StructureDimensionalityIntelligent SystemPhase TransitionSyntellect Hypothesis Book:The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind's Evolution Source: The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind's Evolution
