If there was a big bang. Theories abound.
Learning to run a maze isn't just a 'state change'. It requires memory. The researchers running slime molds through mazes claim it is definitive of conscious thought. That sounds convincing to me, but honest men can differ regarding interpretation of data.

Agreed! Maybe everything collapses and expands in cycles forever. Lots of theories, and I don't know enough to comment on the validity on them.
On state change - I'm thinking the state change IS the memory. The reward often given for correctly solving a maze strengthens the random state changes that led the thing through the correct choices to get to the reward at the end of the maze, making those state changes more likely in the next iteration. No thought involved, in my humble opinion, just random helpful state changes being reinforced to become more likely next time around.
And of course we can and should differ, as it makes for more interesting convos. :)
Thanks and Happy Dos de Mayo to you!
