• You’re taking this data in.
  • Your body is the apparatus through which you gather data.
  • Your mind is what happens when the matter that is your body comes together like it has.
  • You’re the combination of the body and body-contingent mind the body exudes.
  • Matter with minds are conscious.
  • There are levels of consciousness.
  • Consciousness can be different from one collection of matter to another.
  • Levels of consciousness are different levels of computational power.
  • Computation is processing.
  • Consciousness is what it feels like to be processing data.
  • You process data in light of the data you’ve processed.
  • The mind must manage the body’s experience.
  • Some level of computational power produces autonomy within this case or all conscious things are at least a little autonomous.
  • Stress is what happens to the body made of matter when the mind doesn’t properly manage the body’s experience.
