@chaosprime … ok, so break this down for me into tiny tiny little pieces that I can eat like thought candy. If I stand in a yellow wood, and two roads stand before me, then I can choose which road to walk? Or at least, I am able to walk either (but not both) roads. 1/n

When (or if) I proceed down one or the other road, I have made a choice. Or at least a decision has been made? The decision is, hopefully obviously, influenced by a large number of factors: both external and internal. All of the external factors are interpreted by me. 2/n

right, and you do in fact choose which road to walk and given an identical "you" and an identical "yellow wood" and an identical "two roads" you'll always choose the same one

This confuses me a bit. Is choice the right word for what’s happening then?

seems fine to me, there's a process of action potentials being resolved to a course of action, that seems like "choice" and to be what's being presented to the consciousness as it "making a choice"

Not legible as in not having enough information?

right, and not in a "if we could just get more information" sense of not enough information, in a "the only fully reliable model of the system would be 1:1 scale" sense

Westworld actually lowkey treated this well in S3, where Halores starts off as literally a cognitive copy-and-paste of Dolores but turns against her
