Consider: Territory aligns, our maps ought to Valid perspectives of the same phenomenon ought to be continuable, to other valid perspectives mathematics Forms of mathematics are continuable to other forms of mathematics....

Brian Knutson – What is Information? Exploring information, by the following distinctions: Map territory distinction Common delta (relation distinction) distinction * System signal distinction ** *, ** To be defined.   map territory ![[a map is not the territory it represents, but, if correct, it has a similar structure to the territory, which accounts for its usefulness]] Information relates to both map and territory. We might say that maps evolved; or even that maps are a biological invention; but information?...

consciousness is distinct from it’s contents Consider that all behaviour is conditional. If one biological system (A), becomes coupled to another (B), by influence of some side-effect or waste-product of A, we might observe ‘some behaviour of B is conditional to influence by signal from A’, or interpret that ‘A signals B’ Over time additional conditionality may evolve, such that the same behaviour of B becomes conditional to ’two signals’: separately; or coupled (say a different molecule)....

Some things really do take a lot of dedicated study to understand, especially complex things like the nervous systems....

background the manual describes one autists’ attempt to make better sense of life, the mind, and cognition – following a late (adult) dual-diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Rather than focus on a first-hand account of my personal life post psychiatric diagnosis: the manual centres around a personal investigation, of some ‘unusual personal circumstances’, which began just prior 1 motivation like many adult diagnosed autists, I became motivated to better-understand some of my-own unusual circumstances 2, after an impactful life event...
