Nine Propositions
Speculations on consciousness as a universal phenomenon:
Suppose a steady state universe
Suppose the state is informational
Given propositions 1&2, assume an intrinsically multimodal dynamic
Suppose emergent symbolic differentiation as necessary to the stability of the phenomenon
Suppose a stable instance requires paradoxical initial conditions — actually bounded and theoretically boundless
Suppose boundary growth as a goal, increasing quantities of differentiated informational material
Suppose replication as a goal for the discovered mechanisms of successful differentiation
Suppose redundancy as a goal, such that multiple pathways to differentiation are encouraged
Suppose approximation of the whole as the hypothetically never-ending end-goal of the instance
