I was the last to post so I assume the reply is on that post.

As far as I am concerned you can post in Russian.

So it’s a little more work to consume that information but we all have the tools to do it.

EDIT:

Russians, that GPT says are of note on this topic:

Russian Thinkers Relevant to Consciousness & AI


Foundations: Mind, Self, Consciousness

Lev Vygotsky

  • Mind develops through social interaction

  • Self emerges through language and others

Perfect match to:

  • “mirror” idea in the thread

Alexander Luria

  • Brain = functional systems , not single center

  • Mind = distributed processes

Matches:

  • “no central observer”

Sergei Rubinstein

  • Consciousness arises through activity and interaction with the world


Systems / Cybernetics (very relevant to you)

Alexey Lyapunov

  • Early work on systems, control, computation

Victor Glushkov

  • Cybernetics + information systems

  • Viewed computation as system-level process
