The Infinitum Conscious Agent
Hoffman: I have this abstract notion of a conscious agent, but then I've written down a completely precise formal structure. And one of the interesting implications of that definition is that when I took two conscious agents and had them interact,. that system actually satisfied the definition of being a single conscious agent. This continues at infinitum. You can keep doing this until you actually get agents that have infinite number of bits. So now you have infinite consciousnesses that come out of this mathematician's mathematics. We're now treading in the realm of theology and religion.
