We become Irreversibly Randomized when We Die

Gregory Bateson

Mind and Nature:

A Necessary Unity

Ch. IV

Criterion 2. The Interaction between Parts of Mind is Triggered by Difference

When I wipe the blackboard, where does the difference go? In one sense, the difference is randomized and irreversibly gone, as ‘I’ shall be gone when I die. (109d)
