I’ve heard about this so called “secondary overlaying phenomenon” where a random thought comes to one’s mind. It seems thoughts arise spontaneously, no one chooses them to appear. No one is controlling, being author, or being the ultimate decision maker as to which thought is going to arise in one’s mind. Thoughts simply arise out of nowhere for no reason, purpose or order.
So who ultimately decides to say yes or no to a thought? The answer is, the one aware of the thought decides.
There’s no thought known without someone to be aware of the thought. No thought without a thinker, no thinker without a thought < That’s known as epistemology processing.
While it may or may not be true that reality is a simulation or A.I.
Part of the whole program is to be a human being, making binary decisions, simply because a human being doesn’t make a particular thought arise. But a human being can say yes or no to a thought once it has arrived in cognition and then recognised.
This secondary phenomenon is why knowledge is a binary process of brain activity. There maybe many nuances swirling around, but ultimately all final decisions are binary.
