NOTE

**The Self in scientific terms. Forming new life. **

Insights:

Our notion of a singular, indivisible intelligence is flawed, as all examples of cognition are collective and made up of parts
The magic of cognition lies in the arrangement of physics, chemistry, and bioelectricity
The emergent collective of a self is formed through specific arrangements of physics and chemistry
The self with a capital S is the origin of our own self and there are many other kinds of selves
The concept of a self is not limited to humans and can be traced back to simpler organisms
The development of cognition is a smooth and continuous process
The idea that true selves only exist in humans goes against our understanding of evolution and developmental biology
