Hi Andrew, thank you for another awesome podcast. I am struggling to frame the idea of recursion in the context of consciousness. I think I understand what recursion is in computer programming ie n = n + 1, however I am not sure. Assumig I am correct, is the basic idea that self awareness is I (as in me/self) = I + t (time)? If so, then the definition of I seems circular. Can you recommend a resource that will help me undertand this better?
Imagine if Marvel comics were cool, then imagine instead of being comics they are a podcast. This is that podcast.

My best treatment is in this article or the first sections of EToC v3.
