Discussions on the nature of personal consciousness, as have been externalized by our collective urge to develop technology, eventually lead to questions on the nature of self - it is a uniquely human concept, brought about by the dichotomous maps of the world produced by language-based internal models of ourselves.
Ultimately, there is only one 'I' in the universe - that which looks through your eyes looks through mine, however locally modulated by mental process into the grand, ultimate illusion of many 'people', and 'things'.
We will need a thorough mathematical understanding of this, from studying the singular quantum states of the super conductive aspects of our own nervous systems before we can successfully engineer off board 'mind meld' technologies, and explore the infinite, ancient, and highly and strangely populated hyperspaces that underly everything we currently perceive as 'real'.
