In this thought experiment we consider a 'Noman'. We must place the experiment far, far into the future where technology has advanced exponentially. The Noman is a human that has been born in an artificial womb. It carries genetic information from it's donor egg and sperm cells. At the point where it is ready to exit the womb, the Noman is contained inside a perfectly cuboid room, with blank white walls. There is literally nothing to see in this room apart from the white walls. The Noman is fed and kept healthy by 'nutritional air' circulated through the room. (We are in the future...anything is possible) That's about it for the set-up. All the Noman has to interact with is his own body and a white room.
The interesting question is: How does he progress?
