A Layman's Guide to Joscha Bach

If you're like me, you may have been confused when you first came across Joscha Bach's ideas on cognition and the mind. Here, I hope to help the casually curious clear any confusion regarding Bach's theories by explaining how I understand them. I am not nearly an expert, but I will do my best to stay true to his work and give a reasonable depiction of his ideas. I wrote this article by primarily referencing his talk at the 31st Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg, linked here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v lKQ0yaEJjok. This has been a popular philosophical idea to consider for a very long time, and it can mean a lot of different things to many different people.
