Can you hold in your mind two different threads of experience?
In this five-minute excerpt from my conversation with Stephen Wolfram, he introduces the strange idea of a multiway mind.
Most of the time, we as observers succeed in weaving multiple different paths through the multiway graph into a single thread of experience.
In some circumstances, however, we’re unable to do this. If we’re unfortunate enough to find ourselves on the surface of a black hole – at the event horizon in physical space, at the entanglement horizon in branchial space – we might find ourselves frozen, unable to form a classical thought.
In just five minutes, Stephen not only introduces the possibility of multiple threads of experience in a single mind, he also succeeds in weaving in diverse topics from quantum computing to societal decision-making.
