Beneath the Floor — Another Floor

Let us suppose that everything described in the previous nine chapters is true. Not “proven truth” (we’ve just gone through how many holes there are in that), but a working hypothesis — a map that has not yet been refuted and that organizes the data better than the previous one.

Suppose:

The Universe and the brain belong to the same class of systems (Vazza/Feletti).

Information is more primary than matter (Wheeler, Landauer, the holographic principle).

The world is a learning neural network (Vanchurin).

Form is stored in patterns and not in the substrate (Levin, metamorphosis).
