About this book
As artificial intelligence evolves, the software industry and society at large are piling fragile abstractions on top of foundations they no longer understand. Developers rely on bloated frameworks, and philosophers debate mind and intelligence using vague, unexamined jargon.
Bare Metal Consciousness takes a kernel-bypass approach to computing, cognitive neuroscience, and ethics. Drawing on bare-metal systems engineering, single-store memory architecture, biological sensory gating, and The Doctrine of Life, Daniel Anthony strips away the hype to establish exact, first-principles clarity for how machines compute, how brains think, what makes a mind alive, and how carbon and silicon can flourish together.
