[FRIAM] Free Will in the Atlantic

[uǝlƃ ↙↙↙]

I think it's incomplete to say "perception" or "experience". It's loopy perception, feedbacks. And that implies that its calculation would involve some estimation of limits, convergence, fixed points, etc. And that's computationally distinct from the non-loopy percolation of water through soil.
