> As Sir Arthur Eddington explained: “It is difficult for the matter-of-fact physicist to accept the view that the substratum of everything is of mental character.”

Framing it in this way ("substratum") is perhaps flawed because it assumes a layering up of sorts with an initial unfurling form null. After all, what generates the mental-like substrate? What's at the bottom of the stack? While layers may be an emergent appearance, I'm less convinced that it is the fundamental nature.

What if it is more circular, not layered? Feedback loops with co-dependent unfurling, emergence, and renewal.
