TL;DR Your everyday “me-ness” is not a hidden pearl; it’s a layered, locally‑run simulation that your brain–body builds to keep prediction error low. The self isn’t a substance—it’s a model. That model boots up in a characteristic order after...

TL;DR The classic problem: you can’t time a one‑way light trip unless your two clocks agree first. Most ways to make them agree secretly use light. Our rule: no light to set the clocks. Our move: build a home‑made time standard from sound sent through three very...
