Notes:
Note 1: The idea that the universe is laid out as a dynamic map with the scientist as just another process within it is inherent in mathematical platonism and Naive Realism. The idea that we cannot make this assumption is inherent in the scientific method developed by Roger Bacon(1214-1294)
Note 2: Observations of conscious experience will inevitably involve descriptions such as 'I' observe or 'we' experience. This implies someone within experience experiencing it and, of course, this is the case, each of us is contained within our own experience. Conscious experience is complicated so the use of the personal pronoun in our descriptions should not be taken to imply any primitive physical model such as things flowing from one sort of experience to another.
