The cardboard and marbles would be the engine which drives self-awareness. The individual parts are not self-aware.
But considering the size and complexity that would be required for such a feat of engineering, a very liberal estimate would probably require more mass than is available on the entire planet.
Edit: the sheer gravity of which would destroy the system.

- posterboy 10y agoThat's semantically difficult to say, i've seen it in other comments, too, self is not used in the correct frame of reference: The individual parts' self is irrelevant; yet you claim, they are not self aware; when you imply the part's weren't aware of the whole ('s self), you switch frame of reference. The self of the sum of the parts are just the parts. Indeed the parts are the awareness. The whole might be aware of the self of each individual part, but for that to be true, contrary to your statement, each individual part doesn't need to be aware of itself (it might as well code for some other part or whatever).
