BITING MY TONGUE

[Breves extractos de un reciente e-print de física...]
 
I am conscious of consciousness,
I think of thoughts,
I exert my will on my will,
as when I metaphorically bite my tongue.
 
Less clearly one loves love,
hates hate and fears fear…
 
Space-time is a reflexive entity,
a container that contains itself.
 
Gravity,
a manifestation of space-time,
is a force that acts on itself.
 
The reflexive quality
of some phenomenal entities
may have its roots here.
 
Thus life should arise anywhere
that the physical conditions allow for its existence.
 
The same consideration apply to intelligent life
for once life harbors state reductions in an orderly way,
evolution takes it to brains and awareness
and we humans is one of the results.
 
Life becomes
a “measuring instrument”
of the universe.
 
Just as our bodies are made up
of a huge number of molecules
one must think that our subjective world
is also a construct with a huge number
of constituent that we’re not even aware of.
 
One of these constructs
is the consciousness
that shines its light on all things
perceived when we’re awake,
and another is what we call the will
which acts on possibilities presented to us
by the ontological indeterminacy
that characterizes state reduction.
 
Memory is a facsimile of past phenomenal entities...
