What about self-awareness, the mysterious ability of the brain to reflect upon itself?

They are different cities where you can move around the "checkerboard," doing things you can't do in every square, that you can do in some of them, building a mosaic of these kinds of practices.

In some areas, this is a political struggle, in some it's conventional common sense.
