Spacetime Bounds on Consciousness: Chords, Arpeggios, and the BCI Frontier

We unpack Michael Timothy Bennett’s Spacetime Bounds on Consciousness, asking whether a unified mind is a simultaneous chord or a sequential arpeggio. Using the piano-lag metaphor, we explore how the speed of information and integration windows limit the physical size of a conscious system—and what that means for AI data centers, ant colonies, and the human brain. We also discuss how ultra-low-latency brain–computer interfaces could stretch these bounds, and even inch toward shared or expanded conscious experience.
