The Self-containment of reality - Ostronomos - Mar 27, 2018
Because reality is self-distributed, there is no external component to it. It is completely internal or self-contained. This property endows it with varying degrees of self-awareness. Whenever a feedback loop is formed between the observer and the external world, the external world becomes self-referential and self-reading. In other words it becomes conscious of the observer and responds to the observer in a variety of ways.
