Consciousness and Freewill Are Emergent Properties of Recursion:

Mar 2, 2022

The Simple Version:

Concsciousness is merely a feedback loop within an information processing system.

It is aware of itself, its own information and can change itself.

It is self defining.

Its All We Are...

Recursion:>

is Both:

The Cause and the Effect…

Ad Infinitum…

If the corpus collosum is severed, two distinct consciousnesses are experienced simultaneously; literally a split personality.

Because Both halves Still Have Recursion…

And, Recursion Actually Predicts that:>

Each of them MUST be Different, BY Definition.

Recursion IS Consciousness.

It is WHY you Get it In Both Halves

and WHY they Are Different…

Recursion:> Explains WHY:>>

In the Healthy Brain,

Consciousness Cannot be found In Any One place,

And, In the split Brain,

Consciousness Can be found In More than One Place.

As Ever, It is a Paradoxical.

In one millisecond The Brain can do one action,

In the next The Brain can change an internal value

Of, for, and by itself, (Nothing Else in the Entire Universe Changed…)

And do the Complete Opposite Action,

And it can do that at Any time, in Any pattern, Any sequence,

Ad Infinitum.

It IS its Own Cause.

Not Only is Recursion Consciousness,

It is Also Freewill.

Consciousness and Freewill,

Are Emergent Properties of Recursion.
