Assembly Theory and the Physics of Consciousness
1:09:53 - 1:13:47 (03:54)
Assembly theory attempts to understand complex objects by breaking them down into component parts which encode all the possible histories they could have. The intriguing idea is posed that the physics of consciousness may emerge from a causal set, similar to how space-time is an emergent concept in general relativity.

Assembly theory, physics of life, consciousness
Summary
Assembly theory attempts to understand complex objects such as molecules and living things as assembled from a set of component parts encoding all possible histories. It also gives hints about the physics of life, existence, and consciousness, and the physics of consciousness is probably morphing just like how gravity morphs space-time.
