Yeah neural macrostates are going to be a much smaller subset. A tighter upper bound would be long-term memory size as a function of age. That’s harder to estimate though. It’s the compression of life log input.

concretely speaking, afaikt, older people generally have to meditate longer to get same effects as younger. but it's ofc not linear. there is indeed some sort of compression/chunking but surprisingly lossless-seeming for unique/one-off events. i think incompressibility is bound

compressibility is mind-contingent though. will be tradeoff between unique/incompressible experiences and that person's prereflective learned ability to compress or find elegance. maybe 5% genetics/*hardware* and 95% self-/nurture-(meta-)bootstrapping *software*

Can the Freytag Staircase or the Deep Stories that comprise it operate on itself/themselves? Perhaps the dual interpretation of growth or decay affords this operation.
