The angelic other
Conscious synthetic agents
What you call waking life is a form of online dreaming.

Obviously, keeping humans in stasis for long periods of time would require that individual phenomenal events be always bound into a global situational context. Subjective experience, not only functionally and in terms of the agent being causally grounded in its external behavioral space but also on the level of its contents, is a situated process. Conscious human beings are always phenomenally situated beings, so any synthdream strategy must be able to provide means for the stasis to be phenomenally situated. Injecting the dreaming human with conscious synthetic agents is what made the dreaming process natural, provided the synthagents within the synthdream are devoid of free will and always behave algorithmically.

Conscious biosystems like humans operate under an interesting constraint, constituted by the existence of a comprehensive representation of reality as a whole, and the fact that this representation cannot be recognized as a representation by the biosystem itself. The dreamer should not be aware he is dreaming, at least not before awakening. A synthetic dream is designed on an essential principle that must never be compromised: What is at issue is not knowledge, but the structure of experience.

Consciously experienced reality is being inwardly held together by a principle or mechanism, which itself is subjectively inaccessible. It must remain inaccessible for the entire travel time. Humans held in a prolonged state of statis must operate under one single, more or less coherent world-model. Monitoring the neural correlate of consciousness is all we need.

The re-entry process by which the dreaming human is recovered back to reality is such that it turns the conscious waking into just a dreamlike state that is currently modulated by the constraints produced by specific sensory input. We need to exert extreme care in handling this sensory input. The passage from the stasis phase to the angelic phase is critical.

Right after a traffic accident the whole world can appear as “unreal” or as “dreamlike” to us. The same phenomenon is known in stress situations and in transitory phases during certain psychiatric syndromes. However, the best and most basic example of an almost fully opaque, global phenomenal state is the lucid dream. There are interesting transitions between ordinary dreams and lucid dreams, because there are degrees of lucidity. For instance, one can, as a passive witness, very clearly notice that all this is a dream (attentional and cognitive availability of information about the representational character of the overall state) without necessarily also knowing about one’s freedom of the will, without realizing that one is an agent who can start to fly or pass through walls (availability of information concerning the representational character of the overall state for behavioral control).

You now suddenly discover that all of your philosophical reflections on the problem of consciousness are currently taking place in a dream. This dream then becomes a lucid dream. The fact that your phenomenal life does not unfold in a world, but only in a world-model, now becomes globally available. You can use this information to control action, for further cognitive processing, or to guide your attention. What you are losing is global transparency. It is interesting to note how cognitive availability alone is not sufficient to break through the realism characterizing phenomenal experience. You cannot simply “think yourself out” of the phenomenal model of reality by changing your beliefs about this model. The transparency of phenomenal representations is cognitively impenetrable; phenomenal knowledge is not identical to conceptual or propositional knowledge.

In a terminal vessel, the spacecraft is totally under the superintelligence control. For what concerns the humans being transported in a state of stasis, the superintelligence is responsible for providing globally available processes of simulations that feed the biosystems (humans) as a powerful instrument for making a biosystem intelligent. But there are constraints as to what synthetic dreams can be fed into the biosystems. First, simulations are useful tools when a closer inspection of the temporal structure of internally represented events is necessary: they make possible worlds and viable trajectories leading into such worlds cognitively available. The temporal fine structure and dynamical evolution of the target phenomenon (that is, Reality as perceived by humans) must be carefully engineered. And we need to put a limit to how intelligent the biosystem can get: they cannot be as intelligent as the superintelligence, for otherwise the mission would be at risk.
