See: http://2014.scifuture.org/abstract-the-revolutions-of-scientific-structure-colin-hales/ - "The Revolutions of Scientific Structure" reveals an empirically measured discovery, by science, about the natural world that is the human scientist. The book's analysis places science at the cusp of a major developmental transformation caused by science targeting the impossible: the science of consciousness, which was started in the late 1980s by a science practice that cannot, in principle, ever succeed. This impossible science must fail, not because it is malformed, but because it cannot deliver to engineers what is needed to build artificial consciousness. http://2014.scifuture.org
