You Just Read Part Two: The Theory

The vocabulary and framework

Part Two builds the theoretical framework: the vocabulary and concepts you need to think precisely about consciousness, identity, and survival. This is where ixperiencitness, awarepaths, and the replica taxonomy are introduced.

The Awarepath THE AWAREPATH A continuous sequence of awaremoments Your conscious lifetime, viewed as a single object awaremoment (now) birth death Time → (your conscious lifetime)

Learn the key concepts

Core Concept

Ixperiencitness

The quality of subjective experience that makes it yours. Coined from "I experience it" plus the suffix "-ness." This is the central new word the theory...

 Paths

Awarepath

The complete sequence of conscious experiences produced by a body over its lifetime. Your subjective life seen from the inside, treated as a single object.

 Replicas

Identireplica

An identical replica. A body whose structure and functioning are identical to yours at a moment in time. The simplest case the theory examines.

 Units

Awaremoment

The smallest unit of conscious experience. A single instant of what it is like to be you, right now. Awarepaths are made of awaremoments.
