Getting to know the work of Stephen Grossberg, and corresponding with him on the topic finally encouraged me to more or less finish this writing. On the todo-list will stay many things. Remark that the introduction was written many years ago too. I hope to be more clear in my conclusions some day. For know I have promised myself to lead a live again, and to give precedence to my violin. I do intend to work on it now and then, and I will publish this work on the Internet.

Debugged some text, and added some further explanation with regard to qualia in
section
on page
.
Updated indexes for chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and changed some text here and there.
Tried to improve my explanation of the relation between logical (and other) systems
and the real in section
.
Added some some complex conclusions and issues regarding consciousness, mainly to the end of the last chapter.
Updated indexes for chapter 6, and changed some text here and there. The text unfortunately probably still requires more endurance than necessary for the reader, but I will never succeed in making it really simple.
