The people at Qualia Research Institute are traversing similar territory, you might want to check them out and get in conversation to battle test your ideas. It's also interesting to observe that Buddhism speaks of this paradox through the lens of dependent origination, and you might find more there too. Good luck with the book!

I’m pretty much a Daoist and you’ll notice the “original pattern” is pretty much a yin-yang, so yes. Also familiar with co-dependent arising. 😀Complexity at Santa Fe Institute also crosses similar bounds. Will check out Qualia but honestly want to steer clear of consciousness question even if i think this might be a better lower level, axiomatic model than IIT.

I don’t know if I have an intention but I think it’s a useful framing, a useful pattern if you will that I feel I just need to put out there. My beginning inclination is that it pulls together quite a few currently disparate desperate views into something kind of lower level.

Started writing some of this 20 yrs ago but it keeps popping up and i haven’t seen anyone articulate it the way i’m thinking about it. Ever more relevant now with AI.

I will likely start modelling to see if my framework is predictive of certain known patterns in say evolution and cellular automata.

If I was to suggest things to focus on maybe it'd be on the influence of different kinds of context windows on ones experience of patterns, or agency within a world This was an important sentence: "The patterns we see are shaped not just by the world but by who and what we are as observers." We can have some influence over the who and what we are as observers, which is a fun way to say we can change how we relate to patterns and what patterns we see, in which may be implied that we can change the world through altered behaviour in response to new types of pattern recognition as a result of changed who/what
