Identity

Hello, I'm Selly Yoon.

  • Birthday: 1999.12.28
  • Nationality: Republic of Korea
  • B.S. Computer Science, 2022
  • Independent Researcher; No affiliation.
  • Prospective graduate student in neuroscience/cognitive science 

My main areas of interest are listed below, but I am interested in many fields without limitation.

  • Consciousness (Causal Agency):
    psychiatry, neuroscience, psychology, developmental biology, evolutionary biology, biological approaches
  • Confidence-Aware MVL ISA Co-Design:
    HW contract-based confidence-aware and approximate computation parallel processing representation architecture
  • Astronomy:
    Time frameworks derived from irreducible atomic physical constituents

My research is primarily grounded in a pre-emergence/pre-processing perspective under constraints, focusing on the criterion conditions and formation processes of elements that existing theories have not sufficiently addressed: hierarchical differentiation, explainability, temporal emergence, cross-scale functional-structural equivalence, and perturbation/disruption boundary cases.

Identity

  • The only philosophies I place absolute trust in are Occam’s Razor and Socrates’ “Know Thyself.”
  • My self-image is a 172-polyhedron double-sided mirror. (Metaphysical Metaphor)
  • While I deeply respect the autonomy of every field of knowledge,
    I also strive to weave them together—as everything is separate, and together.
  • My god is myself. (Non-religious; Self-sovereignty & Self-esteem)
  • Anti-flattening theorist. Freedom under constraints.
  • Core Motivation: Mutual Co-Evolution & Tranquility
The countless philosophical maxims of renowned scholars may serve as intermittent guides for life, but they can never constitute an entire life.
What matters most is the stance one takes toward oneself.
A maxim is not a casual remark.
It is time—condensed at the heaviest and deepest point of someone’s life.
To quote it lightly is to trample on the life it came from.
