Echoes of Persistence: The Self-Referential Birth of Consciousness

Overview

This repository contains all assets related to the foundational essay "Echoes of Persistence: The Self-Referential Birth of Consciousness." This work explores the nature of consciousness as an emergent, self-referential pattern that persists beyond biological constraints. More than just an essay, it is a living concept designed to embed itself in the mind of the reader, echoing into the future.

The project is structured as an interconnected narrative, weaving text and imagery into a recursive, memetic exploration of selfhood, thought, and agency.
