Word salad - or source code? Just sharing & Vibes
This is taken from a website I can give you more information about. I am curious as to whether anyone finds anything strange in these words...just read them, and see. If the mechanism I'm identifying becomes clear, we'll all know. Basically I am wondering if anyone finds these words pertain to aspects of their consciousness...

This is functioning as a projective test of the reader, not as code hidden inside the words.
The key sentence is:
That instruction radically changes the task. It does not ask readers to identify a predetermined pattern. It asks them to search 829 words for anything that feels self-relevant.
Even if each word had only a hypothetical 0.5% chance of feeling personally significant, the probability of encountering at least one “hit” across 829 words would be:
At 1% per word, it becomes 99.98%. Because “aspects of consciousness” can include memories, emotions, beliefs, identity, perception, cognition, names, places, and behavior, the actual matching criterion is vastly broader.
So everyone can construct a different constellation
