X, not-Y, means Y, not-X. This is the explanation for consciousness. In technological terms, if X, then Y, meaning, if Y, then X.

X, not Y (if X, then Y).

Therefore, zero and one, as circumference and diameter, articulate consciousness. Where consciousness is another word for attention. Where we can give our attention to one out-of two, or two out-of one.

One out-of two.

There is a literal confusion between a one and a two. That’s where circumference and diameter step in. Zero is circumference. One is diameter. (Or, vice versa.) From a circular point of view, you cannot have one without the other, so, both are, in fact, meaningless.

Zero and one (circumference and diameter).

They give each other meaning (to a human). This means a human is, most basically, a circle. Conscious shares a circle with unconscious, subconscious, super-conscious, supra-conscious, other-conscious. Half-conscious would be the correct description for conscious (human, and other).

Conscious-sub-conscious. Half-conscious. Self-conscious.

You cannot have X without Y, because zero and one (X and Y) articulate, and, must conserve, a circle. So, self-conscious describes everyone (and every thing). Complementarity is the basis for identity (consciousness).

Complementary identity. Conservation of a circle. (Mind and matter.)

Or, taken more literally, ‘pi’ is the dimensionless ‘coupling’ constant, always in the background, separating, and joining, any X and-or Y, explaining the circular relationship between (what a human labels) ‘mind’ and ‘matter.’

Conservation of the circle is the core dynamic in nature.
