The conscious mind as an emergent functionality is the self-organising, self-referential, self-learning, dynamically closed, self-realizing potential of a goal-oriented causal dynamics (teleodynamics) of hierarchically nested evolving matter-energy-information complex system (brain) instantiated in a self-propagating recursive constraining of the structure (neuronal) and function (virtual)."

“Whaaaat ifffff...my brain is the real alien? No one knows EVERYTHING about the brain! It's in my head and controls everything in my life ... and yet I don't know anything about it. It's a f-cking alien in my head. Calm down. It's giving me anxiety.”
