The Referential Core of Intension
Every concept in my protological concept formation possesses a self. This is not consciousness, not personality, not ego. It is the referential identity of the concept—the internal pointer that binds its entire body of reasoning to its intension and all its extensions. This self is not an added feature. It is the concept.
This modular property of existence is the ultimate self-awareness that does not need any thinking or consciousness. It contains the knowledge of the origin of the concept, its identity, and its logical predestination. When this self reflects, thinking begins, and the concept is conscious.
How much of a self of a concept a mind sees, depends on how much the mind in question conceives it.
