You Are in the Middle of a Borderless Nothingness
Push your attention to the very edge of what you can see and try to find where it ends. Vision, sound and even space have no border you can touch. The edges meet nothingness.

We all hear the same music, but beauty is an additional sensation that mixes into it. You don't just like a song. You like liking, and right now that liking is mixed with this song.
The Itch Experiment
Scratch an itch and stop the moment it starts to feel good. Sitting with the wanting, without fighting it or feeding it, is where choice begins.

Free will is an experience. A system that projects possible outcomes, and gets caught between options of near-equal probability, experiences free will as its computation starts to loop.
