⁶I hope this flowchart also clarifies some conceptual differences regarding the concept of suffering, which may have been slightly confounded in previous chapters. First, I emphasize that I’m not saying that errors are suffering, but that errors are the direct cause for suffering. Suffering is a complex phenomenon, comparable to emotions which also have multiple aspects, including in particular a conscious experience. Conscious, subjective experience is obviously not the same thing as errors computed on the level of largely unconscious information processing. Second, nor am I saying that suffering is driving learning: It is the errors that are driving learning, after some further sophisticated computations. Thus, the errors computed lead to suffering on the one hand, and, more indirectly, to learning on the other. This is why errors, suffering, and learning are separate items in the flowchart.
