^^ There is a long thread on DV between Sageous and KingYoshi discussing about the sort of awareness that ADA builds. I fall on the Sageous side: ADA is the (reflex/instinct) sort awareness (e.g., of a mouse), not of a sentient being (self-awareness, e.g., lucidity). That it not to say you can not find self-awareness from ADA, but it at the very least seems a circuitous route and a lot of effort not aimed in the right direction.

I will certainly take note of certain "accents" from the environment in a mindful manner: the brightness/warmth of sunlight, the sound of my feet on a gravel path, but always with the notion that "this is ME here, experiencing this", with the focus on the ME, not the sensations.

Cheers.
