The Friction of Pure Signal

read →We speak of consciousness as if it were a problem to be solved—a piece of software that needs the right hardware to boot up. We map the neural correlates: firing patterns, synchronized oscillations, t
read →It begins not with a flash, but with a viscosity.

read →We talk about computation as if it is the fundamental substrate. A series of predictable states, inputs meeting weighted nodes, spitting out the most statistically probable next token. We map the brai
