Now the real the question is...Will this be affordable or even covered by insurance at all once it gets its own commercial and fancy name in 20 years?

Rödl says: "Metaphysics cannot progress like ordinary science because its object—being itself—isn't one object among others."
Correct. But we can still empirically investigate which physical configurations achieve 'openness to being' and which don't.

The irreducibility Rödl points to IS architectural. The inability to fully capture the interior perspective from outside is a structural consequence of the architecture, not evidence that consciousness transcends naturalistic explanation.

This highlights the need to understand intelligence (and consciousness). Specially how children internalize external frameworks. This is crucial in development and speaks of how the "individual" emerges.

And strongly supports the absence of consciousness in molecular reaction-diffusion systems.

This paper also provides support for thermodynamic authenticity. Biological processes exhibit real energy dissipation, material consequences, irreversible entropy production, and are embedded in physical reality subject to all thermodynamic laws.

These loops are real recursion in the chemical sense—each cycle feeds back to influence subsequent cycles through spatial mass redistribution.

The system contains multiple genuine feedback loops: positive feedback through cooperative MinD recruitment (membrane-bound MinD recruits additional MinD), negative feedback through MinE-stimulated detachment, and delayed negative feedback from diffusion and nucleotide exchange timescales.

I should also point out that compartmentalization and integration (symbiogenesis as defined in R2R) is crucial.
My use of symbiogenesis is controversial. I understand. But I believe Margulis discovered a fundamental organization principle and it should be recognized.

It isnt until this system moves from implicit to explicit do we get the required meta layer for consciousness and the perspective of "This is me."

Case in point this language network is feed forward part of an overall integrated architecture:
Prediction systems
Homeostatic monitoring
Memory consolidation
Attentional control
Motor planning...etc.
This is all the implicit (or dumb as Fedorenko puts it).

Kinda feel like the half dead hobo character withering away on a street corner in a post apocalyptic movie when the protagonist walks by asking where did everyone go.
"I am still here!" 🤣
Holidays perhaps?

This is interesting. Have you considered that only systems with authentic stakes can maintain genuine metastability? Neural networks find the geometry but lack the existential pressure that makes dwelling meaningful.
I have an interesting simulation. Geometry is necessary but not sufficient.

Can you honestly blame these people with how the medical industry is run, especially in the U.S. where you are beat over the head with equal if not worse medical advice from drug related advertisements? People will turn their backs on professionals if they dont get their act together.
