a set of constraints or requirements that must be satisfied at the edge or boundary of a system or problem. In other words, it defines the conditions that apply to the system or problem at its limits or edges.
correct - in this case setting the condition of “physiological components” to zero. by removing all the interactions with the body and aspects of consciousness that are tied to that interaction, a simpler yet still realistic consciousness can be generated. replacing physiology with the server constraints is the analogy i plan to make, it gives the “vessel” limitations it must operate within just like our bodies. we can redefine the server as a set of resources that come and go or are always provided to it. funny how much more stable consciousness can be without biological matter housing it!
