Minimum Awareness:

"Awareness seems to be the one minimal word best expressing the experience of life,... A philosopher may question that statement saying, 'No you are wrong because awareness can be exclusively of self.' But we reply by recapitulating the inherent minimum topology of awareness:

-- minimum self and minimum otherness are both systems; each having both insideness and outsideness;

-- one part of a system cannot exist without the other;

-- an experienceable point is substantial;

-- all substance has insideness and outsideness;

-- all substances are divisible into minimum substances;

-- each minimum substance is always a whole system; and

-- each system always has insideness and outsideness and four minimum-system-defining events, all of which events are inherently nonsimultaneous and overlapping-ly co-occurring.

"Ergo, the minimum cognition employs the information sensing, remembering, and recognizing circuitry of the organic-substance's minimum self-sensing awareness, which could only be at a minimum one as a system of four minimum-event components, being aware"
