The last post ended on a promise about three classes of self-observation. This is the everyday-language version of what they are — and which one turns out to be empty.
Carnet
A research-and-thinking notebook on information, elimination, and the structure of knowing. Posts are mostly long-form; some are sketches, some dead ends, some surviving claims.
A program seeded by one question post 5 left open — what happens when we write the self-applying operation down. Random self-maps, squaring, and the structure that elimination reveals.
What happens when we try to strip the self of all concepts associated with it? What is the last minimum coherent description of it before it decoheres?
What survives when measurement, language, self-modeling, adaptation, and embodiment are stripped from the term 'intelligence'? And what asks the question?
