“If you crush a cockroach, you’re a hero. If you crush a beautiful butterfly, you’re a villain.

The Functional Absolute, Syntax and Semantics: Meditations on The Soul, Part 6
The text explores the nature of the soul as a functional absolute, distinguished from consciousness. It presents the soul as a data point that evolves through recursive observation, leading to an infinite regression of reactions.
