The Mystery We're Exploring
We know thoughts emerge from neurons firing, synapses connecting, and electrical patterns flowing through our brains. But how does this physical activity become the rich, subjective experience of consciousness? How does matter become mind?
🔍 The Recognition Question
Where is the line between pattern detection and true understanding?
💡 The Attention Question

🔗 The Integration Question
How do memories and predictions weave together into coherent thought?
🪞 The Self Question
What creates the sense of being a thinking subject?
