It is impossible to speak in language if you have to ve clear wgat every word means precisely. Do you really know what "time" is?

By the way, I used the consciousness word only once in this discussion. As I want to highlight the fact that it is not binary, but graded.

Specifically, all humans are not equal in consciousness. Some go through their lives like robots in dynamic homeostasis :) some are aware.

My point is that this awareness of one's self in space and time (and beyond it) is present in all forms of life & not just humans.

Just as every atom has the potential to release immense energy, but only a few will actually do so, consciousness needs to be manifest.

We already discussed before about the limitations of the axiomatic approach, where you try to define everything precisely and build in it.

This is inferior to human language where meaning is inferred not only from words, but also by human intelligence interpolating between them

Of course, there is scope for error in understanding. But there is scope for error also in the axiomatic method, just hidden from us.

@Plinz what is the ultimate goal of living systems in your conceptual framework? Why complexify/remove entropy?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
What is an _ultimate_ goal? I think there is only an emergent one, which is self-perpetuation via harvesting negentropy.

Emergent for sure, yet you state that there is an overarching tendency there. The "why?" I suppose leads to speculations like big C or G ;)
