The Explanatory Gap

The concept of "brain exhaust gas"
is not a scientifically recognized term
and yet here we are

Consciousness as a byproduct of entropy

Now, I don't know what that means
but it doesn't make it untrue

Water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrogen

Make a song of it
shout about it with your voice
an exhaust gas in its own right
a reedy tenor, a monotonous drawl

        Interaction - Innovation
        Automatic control system!

Unpredictable patterns, meet
basic functions, team up and
see what happens

Chaotic activity, art and religion

Trace amounts of oxygen, carbon monoxide

Other key components:
        communication,
        play and the use of tools

There are five levels, one primal
two reactive three wilful
four intellectual and five intuitive

Try again, one distracted two dull
three partially focused four one-pointed
and five completely controlled

Keep going chief, you've got another
five choices - one full two minimal
three confused four vegetative
and five coma

        Interaction - Innovation
        Automatic control system!

But now I can reveal
levels six to ten which
anticipate, combine and perfect the
different systems, as revealed to me by
