—TRANSITIONAL
EDITION —
Some work beyond these numbers, toward the second edition, has been substituted. Chapters 1, 3, 4, 5, and 8 have been edited. For the second edition, chapters 5 and 10 will be updated further, to include dimensionality concepts that developed in writing the Summary of Hypotheses. The question of clock density rate dependence may also be developed.

--- please note ---
Throughout this book I usually talk about things as though they were given facts that are generally acknowledged, as if I knew what I was talking about. I don't. Some of the information is generally accepted, and some of it is generated in fun. I enjoy thinking about a lot of stuff, and I love to attempt to put ideas together in ways that give them an apparent cohesiveness. I would not enjoy this nearly so much, or have the freedom to generate these systems of thought, if my writing style was constantly saying "maybe this" and "maybe that." Please allow this disclaimer to replace all that, so that we might be free to deal with the concepts.
Another potential distraction is the problem of credit for "intellectual property." Again, I don't detract from the development of concept systems by constantly raising this issue. If it makes you happy, I hereby absolve myself of any claim (or responsibility) for everything you would consider creative. The truth of the matter is that many concepts are employed that were not created by this author, in the making of some that were. Of those, many have turned out to not be "original," with respect to the timing of their development... I often run into "my ideas" in books or articles after I have thought about them, or written them down, or published them. There are some cases where it is I who is the "originator." If something here becomes sufficiently noteworthy, I leave it to science historians to figure out what is what. This book was written for the fun of it, to be read for the fun of it, as it leads you to its view of you... of what consciousness is.
YOU
A book of considerations
about brain function, artificial intelligence, and much more.
Free association of some newer and older scientific concepts
led to the suggestion of some profound possibilities.
The whole book is online here.
I can mail a printed copy of the book for free, so long as demand
remains light.
Allow several weeks or months for my reply, as I usually go
that long between visits to the email box.
