The brain evolves and experiences memory which it can recreate later on. Can computers evolve themselves and add more transistors? And isn't memory a part of mind? I understand that memory may be holographic across the whole brain, but we are still dealing with underlying structure.-If hardware is your issue, we already have self-assembling machines that are more complex than the basic design of a memristor. But my point was more geared around software. Once we get a machine with the right basic architecture, further connections can be made purely through software (at some kind of performance hit.) -The thinking of AI researchers though, is that if structure really gives rise to function, basic consciousness (as what is observed in all animals) shouldn't require nearly as many connections as what we want in the human brain. Self-aware? No idea. But there would be no real way to verify self-awareness, if you think about that idea long enough...

\"Why is it, Master, that ascetics fight with ascetics?\"
\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
