Incomplete Nature: How Mind Emerged from Matter
by Terrence W. Deacon
Deacon's theory for how consciousness emerges involves what he calls
"absentia," things that might be but are not yet, goals for self-
sustaining systems to achieve.
In other words, 'actualization of possible worlds'?
Is there not a Hegelian flavour here? Thesis: Being (here: the 'self-
sustaining system'). Antithesis: Non-being (here: "absentia," things
that might be but are not yet) Synthesis: Becoming (here: emerging
consciousness).
