pretext/text/context 2

The first part was very interesting so I wanted to keep reading the second part. In this part Dr. Lane went on to explain about consciousness. The way he did this was in its simplest form. He began with his explanation about pretect/text/context. My understanding was that petext was the alphabet. The text then became the word sentences and the context the typography. That was when I realized that Richard Feyman was right when he said that if you translate something into reality then you will be able to understand it. Then I got a better understanding about consciousness. If I am not mistaken the pretext is the brain, text would be your consciousness and the context would then be the place you live at. That would be as far as you can simply because if you try any further you are going to lose its purpose.
