    AbstractWhat we generally call information is created through interference between regular information and reverse information. In this process, conscious activity is the creator of information. We can assume that the following five-stage mechanism exists inside the brain: 1) a mechanism that creates consciousness and recognizes information; 2) a mechanism that accumulates information in the neural circuits; 3) a mechanism that combines and separates the self-conscious mind and fragments of accumulated information; 4) a mechanism that accesses the operating system or distributes information to localized neural circuits; and 5) a mechanism that allows the operating system to modify itself with an increase in the amount of information. These mechanisms can be considered to belong to the category of conscious activity, which is created by a combination of potentialization of sleep and potentialization of wakefulness.
