The paper draws on an algorithmic criterion to demonstrate that the self (as initially described in Shaun Gallagher's a pattern theory of self) is a composite, scattered, and patterned object. It also addresses the question of extendedness of the self-pattern. Based on the criteria drawn from algorithmic complexity, I argue that although the self-pattern possesses a genuinely extended aspect (and in this sense, the self-pattern is minimally extended) the self-pattern and its environment do not constitute a genuine composite object.
本文运用一种算法标准来证明自我（如肖恩·加拉格尔的自我模式理论中最初所描述的）是一个复合的、分散的且有模式的对象。它还探讨了自我模式的延展性问题。基于从算法复杂性得出的标准，我认为尽管自我模式具有真正的延展方面（从这个意义上说，自我模式具有最小限度的延展），但自我模式及其环境并不构成一个真正的复合对象。
