So I made the Fourier Transform statement as a joke, but it's actually gotten me thinking. Statements have logical consequences: if X is true, then you should be able to derive some kind of Y, but often I see people say 'X is true,' as a factual statement, and then when pressed on what the logical implications of X are, they often fall apart.

If consciousness is a frequency then you should be able to do exactly what you're describing: frequencies mean certain things and have certain properties. If you say 'well, you can't do it to this frequency,' then you're really just abusing the word.

I see a lot of vaguely defined terms without any sustained interrogation of what they mean.

It's not *rigorous.*

Say what you like about established faiths like Christianity, Buddhism, or Islam: it's hard to deny that theologins in all those traditions have subjected their faith to extremely rigorous scrutiny and analysis.
