A self I can take apart and put back together. That I understand. That I can figure out how to improve. I look at three things. And novelty, creativity.
Science is very good at figuring out things that happen the same every time.
But novelty and creativity are just the opposite. So we'll look at examples of creativity and novelty, such as thinking. Science doesn't know much about that, either. So I look at what the world must be like for it to contain selfs. Then I turn that around.
