So it can make patterns, and it can work with those patterns. and evolve by making patterns of patterns and so on and now it can take one it can take us just one uh well let me put it this way there's two ways to proceed here and they it doesn't matter which way they all end up at the exact same place

And that is it all then – all the patterns of patterns of patterns created are in the memory of this cell. So it's just its memory. Or you can say if you follow the biological model that it is – that it duplicates itself. You know, like another virtual machine. It duplicates itself. So now you have two of these. And this one's in a one and this one's in a zero and another and another.

So you can do that. So one of them follows like our evolution here, biology. You know, we started with single-cell amoebas. And then they split and you had multiple-cell things. And then you had things that specialized, like in organs. And then you had things like us. Lots of different organs and specialized stuff.

And we have a – I've heard us described as a cooperative organization of about 4 trillion bacteria or 4 trillion single-celled things that are all cooperating and working together. So complexity builds. So we can do that. Complexity can build with numbers of things or it can build just in memory of things. But either one will take you to the same place.

All right, so let's say this thing is growing. It's lowering its entropy, and it'll get to a point where it's done all the patterns of patterns of patterns that it can think to do, and it kind of stalls out, kind of hits a plateau. All right, then it can take one of its little cells and just oscillate it from zero to one to zero to one to zero to one. Ah, it just invented a metronome.

Now, it can use that one, just sitting there going zero to one, to create regular time. And now it can have sequences of patterns, of patterns of sequences, more complexity. What that does, and that's when regular time was invented. It's a technology that consciousness creates. So, then we have it growing. It's more and more order.

And, of course, it's learning as it goes because arithmetic is a natural for this thing, right? I've got one thing. I've got two things. I've got another two things. Oh, I've got four things. I mean, that's just natural. So, it's going to explore that. It's going to get good at math and so on just kind of naturally. So it's growing. It gets to a point where it's stalled out again.
