Dear Torsten,
I've found your essay very passionating. I'm also sure that complexity can emerge from a multitude of simple events playing few simple rules.
Nevertheless in my essay I take into account also concepts like choice and freedom, that make the difference between an expert-system (that you can call mind) and a concious entity.
I would appreciate that you would give me your opinion on my paper and give a score.
Best wishes,
Claudio B Borsello
