framework
- Plenum model of IgatesVersion of the I-hypothesis: a real plenum of I-stuff underlies all matter, and tunneling connects physical centers to it, revealing the Blazing One.
- Version of the I-hypothesis: the I is a structural coincidence between living structure and deep human cognitive structures, giving a sense of self.
