Q) Looking at brain activity, can I understand who am I fundamentally?
(In waking and sleeping “I” exist? Except in deep sleep “I” do not know “I” exist?)
Do “I” exist independent of brain activity?

“The Source”: All of mass-energy in all of the galaxies currently visible started in a sphere with a radius around ${ \mathbf{0. 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 04 } }$ meters…
(That is an unimaginably high mass-energy in an unimaginably small region…)
Now the observable world is unimaginably vast…
We don’t know what Dark Energy and Dark Matter are… They seem to constitute about ${ \mathbf{95} \% }$ of the mass-energy of the world…
“The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.” - Carl Sagan.
Life evolved over ${ \mathbf{1,000,000,000} }$s of years of a survival game…
Q) Why do we have The World, with these features?
Hi I am Karthik, a Math and AI enthusiast.
I am curious about the Nature and Purpose of The World.
I am curious about “The Full Causal Network of Reality”.
I am curious about the Brain, the foundation of Reality Experience and Intelligence.
I am curious about artificial, scalable forms of Intelligence.
(It might be better to understand our own intelligence better before advancing AI?)
I intend to use the blog as a digital notebook of sorts, and the posts will mostly have routine stuff. I am also on Math.SE.
