Good luck with the little project, masque!

You can see there's a dissonance here. I said "in the brain the hardware and software are more overlapping though", but earlier in the text I said the brain was the hardware only. I saw this when posting, but didn't know how to correct it at the time, but have a hunch now. Both views are kind of true: the software (experience) and the hardware (the brain), and then the simple "everything happens in the brain".
So I might have written: "in the
brain-experience the hardware and software are more overlapping though". So this could be my attempt to crack consciousness. You could make an allegory with space-time from the theory of relativity (bold!), where the brain represents space and the experience represents time. And they are one when it comes to consciousness. What do you think?
