| I scanned over a couple of slides that I saw on reddit about kernel exploits. I didn't finish the set of slides because I got distracted by ideas of 'my own'. A few towards the beginning provided an interesting example of how it is possible to hi-jack the kernel by writing instructions to memory address 0x00000000 and dereferencing a NULL pointer. Apparently, dereferencing a NULL pointer on Linix systems causes the kernel to jump to address 0x00000000. I have no idea why. Maybe the slides explain this. I thought the kernel would jump to some sort of error handling routine with a null pointer. If 0x00000000 is undefined, then there should be a kernel panic and system hang so something else must come into play to prevent that. But technical details aside, I wonder if any valid parallels can be drawn between this sort of thing and human consciousness, parallels that are meaningful and useful. Subconscious ≡ behavior patterns and habits "what a person does by instinct" memories and interpretive biases ∀ Human : Subconscious ∈ Human ∀ Subconscious : Subconscious( Culture, Gender, Nature, Nurture, ... ) ∀ Behavior : Behavior( Subconscious, ... ) ∀ Interpretation : Interpretation ∈ Behavior ?∃ x : Interpretation( Subconscious, ..., x ) ⇔ *(Null) H1: x = Cthulu Let the Subconscious be behavior patterns, habits, "what a person does by instinct", memories, and interpretive biases And let humans have a subconscious And let subconsciousness-es be a result of culture, gender, nature, nurture and other factors And let behavior be a result of the subconscious and other factors And let interpretation be a part of behavior Does there exist an x that cannot be interpreted, that drives you insane? #include "Everything.h" #include <iostream.h> int main() { Subconscious* mySubCon = new Subconscious( LocalSettings::CULTURE, LocalSettings::GENDER, LocalSettings::NATURE, LocalSettings::NUTURE ); Human* myHuman = new Human( mySubCon ); std::cout << myHuman->interpret( Null ); } | ||
