The Caveman in the Box Trilogy
1. How did information emerge into the early minds of the very first humans?
2. Who supplied our primitive ancestors with information?
3. Where did it originate? Where did it come from?
4. Was the source of information a who or a what? Was it god, space aliens, or something else?
The experiment was tested using three boxes. In the first box, a newborn son of a caveman was placed in isolation just after birth. In the second box, the newborn's father was placed from birth to adulthood. While in the third box, a dog was also isolated from birth to maturity.
In the first box, food, water, and everything that the child needs for his survival, growth, and development were provided technologically just like the natural sustenance acquired by a newborn inside the womb. The child was never allowed ever to see anyone or hear anything. He was totally isolated from the physical world from birth to adulthood.
In the second box - the box of the boy's father, the first human on earth was also placed in isolation from birth to adulthood. The only difference between his box and son's box was that his box was the natural world, a place surrounded by a living organism like plants and animals.
In the third box, a four-legged creature was also isolated from birth to adulthood. He was in the same natural world as with the father. The only difference between his box and the caveman father's box was that he is a dog — a lower life form.
From these scenarios of isolation, more questions were raised like:
Who among the three will acquire more information?
Who will never acquire any information at all?
Will they become aware of themselves?
Will they become aware of their own surrounding?
Will they figure out that they are alive?
Will they understand the things surrounding them? How?
How many pieces of information will they acquire?
How will they know and understand them?
How did they acquire the ability to associate physical objects with mental images or vice versa?
Which minds will stay empty forever?
Which brains will give rise to consciousness and self-consciousness?
They are open questions that can be rationally answered by common sense observations, systematic inferences, comparative analysis, and scientific experiments. Questions that can redefine the meaning of consciousness.
And the experiment concluded that:
(i) Mother Nature is the Source of all Information
(ii) Life will never exist if there is only a single particle that exists at the beginning of time.
(iii) The self-ability to match a thing with a thing is the key determinant of consciousness.
Consciousness is the self-ability of associating physical objects with mental images. This general definition was rooted in the second box since the father was living in an environment where other living things exist. The father learned everything from his living environment. He saw how birds fly, how lions get their food, how deer drink water, and how every creature in the environment behaves, creates sounds, and lives life in their own ways.
He eventually copied their behaviors, actions, and learned to associate objects with thoughts. He discovered the key to awareness, learned the concept of right and wrong, converted physical realities to abstract ideas that led to discovering and inventing new things.
Also, the dog in the third box, who was living with his master as a pet and in an environment where other living things exist is also a conscious being. He might not have a bird's eyes view nor a human's eyes view of the environment, but he has a unique worm's eyes view of his surroundings. He sensed everything just like what his master sees, hears, smells, touches, and tastes. He was also experiencing all his master's experiences. He was also a conscious human being in an animal suit.
Because of Mother Nature, the caveman and the dog became conscious beings. Every piece of information they acquire from nature through their sensors make them aware and conscious. Information is the main key ingredient of consciousness. Without information, consciousness will not exist. Without nature, information will not exist. Without consciousness (our sensors), nature will not exist!
"Humans are great imitators.
We learned to walk, run, swim, and fly because of the animals around us.
